Rejected

It's Angelina's 18th birthday When she discovered who her True mate was. 

"Is it really him? It can't be." I was feeling both excited and nervous at the same time. I couldn't wait to meet him, I couldn't wait to be with him. I felt this strong connection to him, like he was the one. That he was the most important part of my life. I wanted him, all of him. Wait I've never felt like this about anyone before. What is this stupid feeling? Is he feeling the same way about me? Is he excited about this as much as I am. 

"Bam!" Lalya jumped into the room. Startled I dropped the brush that was in my palm. 

Lalya? What are you doing here?" We both stared at each other awkwardly. Noticing my sweaty palms, surely she could here my raging heartbeat. I could. It was beating faster than a jet soaring to the sky.

"Big day huh?" She narrowed her eyes covered with fake Forest green lenses. I didn't like the look she had. I could sense she was up to something really bad. 

"Yeah." I answered in a very low voice.

" What are you doing here Lalya?" What ever she had planned, had me scared. 

"I'm here to take back what's mine!" 

" I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean." I said. 

" You know exactly what I mean. Jake is mine!" She claimed taking a few steps forward.

"NO HE'S MINE!!!" I roared at her. I felt intense rage building inside me. How dare she? How dare she claim my mate to her!.

"Not for long." 

"Huh?" I stopped midway as I took angry steps towards her. 

"Yes. Don't you think I don't know your little secret." She wickedly grinned. 

" What secret? What are you talking about?" As far as I could remember there were no secrets stopping me from having Jake. 

"That you killed the Alpha." Then my heart starts beating nervously. 

"I didn't kill the Alpha! Why would you even think that?" 

" Because of how you wanted to be so powerful. Always training day by day. Being a Luna would make you much more powerful. Killing Jakes father would make him the Alpha. And the you Luna since you already know he's your mate." She took a charming step closer. 

" No! I wouldn't do that! Alpha Storm was like a father to me and you know that." At the accusations of my girlfriend I felt a lump form in my throat. I was deeply hurt that she would even think that about me. 

"Yes you would! And to prove it. Don't think I didn't see you do it. I saw you that night hanging around with the Alpha. I saw you hunting with him. I saw you sneaking up on him. I saw you drive silver multiple times through his heart. I saw you torture him to death. And I was so scared that you would kill me too so I didn't scream for help. Silently as I could I went back to tip of the rest of the pack. And I didn't tell anyone it was you because you threatened to kill me!" 

" Lalya? That's not true." 

" I know sweetie. But that's what I'm going to tell everyone if you don't reject him." She smiles. Damn how could my best friend Betray me like this? 

"What? No one will ever believe you. No one will believe your dirty lies." I replied. 

" Try me sweet heart. Because you know very well they will believe me. My story makes complete sense." 

" No it doesn't. How would I even sneak up to an Alpha. How couldn't I have not noticed your presence. It doesn't make any sense." 

" Oh yes it does. Remember that spell you told me about a few months back? Very powerful, it can make all wolf senses go numb. So good that the wolf won't even suspect anything odd." 

" No I don't remember telling you about such spell." I didn't know my best friend was such a liar.

"Well you should because that's exactly what I'm going to tell everyone." 

" How do you suppose I'm even capable of that spell?" I questioned. 

" Well you ain't. But a werewolf-witch hybrid is. Well of cause someone with both traits of werewolfs and witches will be capable. Since they know everything about werewolfs and witches. Meaning they are able to create spells based on Warewolves. And even powerful enough." 

" What? Where would I even find such hybrid. You're insane!" 

" No you're insane. You know how much I wanted this. And you want to take it all away from me. I won't let you Angelina. Now you reject Jake or I'll tell everyone the juicy details." 

" Lalya? Why would you even do this? It's not my fault! It's the moon Goddess who chose my mate!" 

" But you decided to embrace it even though you knew how much it was hurting me. I thought you were my friend. But forget about it now. It's too late." That moment I felt tears burning my eyes. I couldn't believe this. It was tearing me inside. I couldn't reject Jake like that. But I had no choice either. If everyone believes Layla they would all kill me. 

I blame the moon Goddess for all this. If it wasn't for her none of this would be happening. It's all her fault and I have to leave like this for the rest of my life. I had to leave in a lie, A very painful lie. 

"No Lalya please don't do this. You know I love you. You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt you willingly. " I sobbed begging her. 

" I don't care what you would do Angie. The only thing I care about is being the Luna. If I can't be the Luna, no body can. Not even you Angelina." Her face glowered angrily. 

" Please!!" With tears running down my face I begged even more. I couldn't do it. 

"Don't be sad darling. I'll make sure you get a get spot on the pack. I'll be the perfect Luna and you will see that I truly am the rightful Luna." 

" No I can't do it!" I yelled.

" Yes you can!" In the middle of our argument the door busted open. 

"Angelina!" My heart skipped seeing who was standing on the door frame. His crystal blue eyes, they were shining brighter than ever. I could feel the happiness raging inside him. As if he has been waiting for this moment for a very long time. 

"No." I cried my heart shuttering to pieces. 

"Angelina please you can't do this. It's not worth it. You'll break him even more." Lalya's eyes filled with sympathy. She's just a bitch! The way she's throwing this all on me.

Confused and concerned Jake looked between me and Layla. I had no choice I had to reject him. 

"I'm sorry. I…" I tried to mumbled the words as I shuddered in tears. It was the worst, the most painful words I have said in my life.

"Angelina Hilton… Reject you…" I shuddered even more.

" Angelina please don't do this." He tried to stop me but I had to do it. 

"I Angelina Hilton reject you Alpha Jake Storm as my mate." With that there was silence amongst the room. The only sound was my raging heartbeat. 

"How could you do this! What wrong have I done to you! That you're are not even willing to try." His face grew dark. He was hurt, broken and so I was. 

"I tried to stop her." Layla interrupted with her fake pity face. 

I couldn't take it anymore so I busted in tears and ran out of the room as fast as I could. I ran into the woods to as far as I can. I sat besides the lake crying about my ruined life. I cried in regret to the point I wished I could die. In so many times denying myself I truly loved Jake. And he didn't deserve this, I didn't deserve this. How could I ever turn back time? It's too late to fix anything now.

After a long moment of sitting and thinking I went back to the pack house. Hopefully Layla changed her mind. Maybe she saw this wasn't her. 

As I entered I found everyone surrounding the big table. It's where we sit as a pack and have all our meals. But today it didn't look like it, it's like they were waiting for me. Is Jake really this angry that I rejected him? 

"What's going on?" I looked between everyone in confusion. 

"Is it true?" Jake questioned. 

"What?" I was even more confused than before. Could he be asking about the rejection? 

"Don't act dumb! Is it true? Did you kill my father!?" He started boiling with anger, his crystal obs burning red. 

Lalya besides him holding his arm. Ohh no she didn't. But she promised not to tell anyone. 

"No I didn't. I didn't kill your father. Why would you even think that?" I cried. 

" Liar!!" He angrily roared. Everyone's face didn't look nice. I can't believe they believe her. 

"Layla?" I looked at my best friend who was acting to be scared. 

"Sorry Angelina. I couldn't hide anymore. I couldn't let a killer live amongst us. I didn't want anyone else to get hurt, especially the Alpha." Her fake tears. How is she doing this to me? 

"I didn't kill him! But Lalya! You said you wouldn't tell anyone!" I cried feeling so helpless. 

" So you did kill my father you witch! After all this pack has done for you!" 

" No!" 

" And you still lying about it! I don't know why I'm not even tearing you to pieces right now!" 

" But please! I can explain!" This was the worst moment of my life. 

"No you won't explain anything. I want you out of this pack."

" You can't do that." I sobbed with a big lump in my throat. I could barely breathe.

" Yes I can. I'm the Alpha. And I want you to never set foot on this territory. I don't ever want to see you lying face. GET OUT OF HERE!" He yelled as he angrily broke the table in half. 

With out any hesitation I ran out of the house. I ran as fast as I could, not knowing where I was even going. Phasing to my wolf form I ran as fast as I could. Angry! Broken! Hurt! I couldn't even think of anything that moment. 

"Kill her!" He sneered ordering the strongest wolfs. With out any hesitation they take off running after Angelina.
