“Follow me,” he says gruffly, and swiftly walks out the cafeteria through the backdoor.
I follow him across the lawn to an Oak tree. The tree provides us a bit of privacy from prying eyes.
“What’s your name?” he finally asks. His beautiful eyes are not even looking at me. I can’t seem to tear my eyes away from his perfect face. The sun is glinting in his golden hair. The shadows fall across the planes of his sharp features.
“Genesis… Genesis Fairchild,” I finally answer.
“Fairchild? You’re an Omega, aren’t you?” he says. “Ican’t have an Omega as my mate. My pack needs a stronger luna, not someone weak like you. Besides, I love someone else. Mia makes a better Luna than you ever could.” Each word is like a knife slicing through my chest. Ezra whimpers.
Oh no, suddenly I know what’s going to happen. My heart starts to race, my breaths come out short and shallow. I don’t know what’s happening to me. All I know is that my heart is breaking.
“I, Logan Carrington, future Alpha of Shadow Geirolf pack, reject you, Genesis Fairchild, as my mate and future luna of my pack,” he utters coldly, not looking at me once.
My wolf cries and howls in pain. She doesn’t understand. Why is our mate hurting us so?
“Hey baby, what’s going on?” says Mia, wrapping her arms around him. Where did she come from?
“Nothing to worry about, sweetheart,” he answers.
She looks me over with disdain. She pointedly pulls Logan’s head down and plants her lips on his for a claiming kiss. He wraps his arm around her waist, and then they turn and leave. I watch her whispers something in his ear and they both laugh.
I watch them laugh as Ifall to the ground, clutching at my chest. Oh, goddess, it feels like he just plunged a knife deep into my chest and twisted it. Then he just keeps yanking the knife up and down, left and right over and over again until there’s nothing left of my heart but a bloody, twisted ugly gash in my chest. Ezra curls up in pain then goes silent.

I’m lying on my bed now. Everything was a blur after I fell. I remember seeing my friends Penny, Reese, and River running to me, calling my name in panic. They were asking me what was wrong. River carried me to his car. Then I don’t remember anything else. The three of them must’ve brought me
home.
“Talk to me, honey. Tell me what happened,” says mom gently, pushing my hair from my forehead.
“He rejected me, mom. My mate rejected me.” My eyes are tearing up again. I still find it hard to believe that this is really happening to me. I was wishing that it was just a horrible nightmare.
There are a thousand different emotions chasing across mom’s face. Disbelief, anger, pain, sadness….
All the pain comes back. I start twisting in my bed and mom wraps her arms around me.
away.
Even mom’s comforting loving arms can’t stop or ease the pain
“It hurts so bad. Make it stop…make it stop. Mom, please make it go away.” I sob, clawing at my chest. “I’d do anything…just make it stop.” Goddess, it hurts so much, I want to die.
“My baby. My poor baby girl,” cries mom. Tears running down her face as she hugs me close, willing my pain to go away.
After what feels like hours, I calm down, or maybe I’m just too exhausted to even shed a tear. Only my chest is moving up and down. Sleep doesn’t come easily. In the middle of the night, all alone in the darkness, tears leak out again, falling down my face silently. My wolf, Ezra, is completely silent now, but I can feel her crushing pain, as well as my own.
I had been looking forward to meeting my mate since I was four. Mom told me about it like it’s the best thing to ever happen to a werewolf. I had been waiting for someone who would love me and protect me and be by my side no matter what.
All werewolves look forward to meeting their mates. It’s very rare that a mate gets rejected, but it happened to me. What is wrong with me?
All werewolves know you only got one chance of having a mate. What now? Willl ever beloved and have a family? Will my wolf, Ezra, ever comes out and be the same again? A werewolf without his or her wolf is only an empty shell. Most would eventually die or go crazy after they lost their mates. Their wolves decide to disappear when the pain gets unbearable. Now I understand how very painful it is, and we’re not even mated yet. Willl die or go crazy too?I hope Ezra is strong enough to stay.
How could the moon goddess do this to me? What did I do to deserve this? I didn’t ask for an Alpha. She could’ve matched me to another lowly Omega and I’d still be happy. As long as I am loved, I’ll be happy.
