9 | Little Pet

Elena POV

I try to take a steadying breath but I can't seem to get my lungs to work. This whole time we continue to stare at eachother through the mirror. When he reaches behind himself to lock the door, the hair on the back of my neck stands on end.

He growls loud enough to make the stall doors shake, breaking me from my shock and causing me to take a step back, pressing my back into the counter and clutching onto the edge to try and keep myself upright.

He takes slow steps towards me, stalking me like prey and reaches out to slowly curl his fingers around my throat, cutting off my air supply. Sparks shoot down my neck where his skin touches mine and my breathing grows shallow. He starts to squeeze tighter before suddenly shoving me against the mirror on the other side of the room, shattering the glass.

I crumple to the floor, unable to stand at the sudden movement. My hand flying to my face when I feel a dripping sensation. I look back at him in shock and disbelief as my fingers come away from my forehead covered in blood. 

He towers over me with eyes as black as night and starts laughing, the sound cruel and full of cold rage.

I can't help but be effected by it, the mate bond snapping into place. I'm both disgusted and turned on and I can't help but feel completely at war with myself.

"So the worm thinks she can be a luna," he sneers down at me almost spitting he's speaking so forcefully. "You disgust me. You are weak. You are nothing." My heart breaks as he plays upon all my insecurities."

Cleo whimpers in my head at the admission. As he opens his mouth to speak, I know what's coming and I know his rejection will hurt my wolf more than it will me. He puts his foot on my lower back and presses down. "You will never be good enough," his upper lip lifting up with disgust.

"I, Caleb Matthew Williams, Alpha of the Silver Moon pack, reject you- Elena Grace Madden, daughter of the Beta of the Silver Moon Pack, as my mate. Now accept my rejection, worm."

I feel as though someone punched me in my chest, all air robbed from my lungs but I will not allow this boy to see my weakness. I force myself to make eye contact with him and say, "I, Elena Grace Madden, daughter of the Beta of the Silver Moon Pack accept your rejection as my mate."

With those last words, something snaps within me and pain like I have never known takes over me. As my vision blurs, I see Caleb lose his balance and stumble back with his hand on his chest, glad that I was able to cause him a little bit of pain. Before I can gather my strength to stand up and leave he starts laughing again, something dark and cold that makes all the hairs on my neck stand on end urging me to turn and run for my life. 

"Now we can have fun," he says menacingly.

My head snaps up to his in horror, "W-What?" I say not being able to stop the stutter at his words. 

"Oh little pet, did you think you were going to get away from me? I am going to fuck you until you are ruined and then I'm going to throw you away like the trash that you are," he says as he lunges for me.
