Chapter 4 - Rejection-2
1001 Words
Layla came towards me slowly and put her hand on my head. "You alright, addy," she asked in a timid voice. I didn't have the strength to say anything, so I nodded.
I was expecting them to ask me many questions, but none of them said anything. Layla just came towards me and sat on the bed near me while Matt went towards the cupboard and took the first aid kit from it. I crawled toward Layla and put my head on her lap. She softly stroked my hair while Matt changed my bandages as old ones were soaked in the blood because of my rough thrashing. After changing my dressing also, no one said anything. Tears were still flowing from my eyes, I was feeling exhausted, and my whole body was sore.
"Sleep addy, we are not leaving you alone," I heard Layla's voice before blackness engulfed me.
------------------------------------------------------------------
{I tried to open my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not do so. I can hear two whimpering sounds and a few people talking and walking around me.
"What are the orders?" a cold voice asked.
"He is coming here on his own until then; we can't do anything," another voice answered, but none of the voices were familiar to me.
Nothing happened for a few minutes, but I could still hear whimpering. After a few minutes, three pairs of footsteps came toward me, and again I tried to open my eyes but failed.
"Hmm, good work," I heard a voice, but this voice was the most sinister than all I had heard until now. "Kill her too and then dump their bodies in their pack and carve my name on their bodies. They should know who the boss is now," he said, and then I heard fading footsteps.
I didn't know what was happening around me, but soon I heard the sound of a sword coming out of the scabbard. A few footsteps came to my right, and then I heard the sound of a sword swinging in the air, followed by the sound of a blade cutting flesh. I am not just scared, I am frightened to death now, and all the darkness that is surrounding me is making me more uneasy. One of the two whimpers slowly started fainting, and the last word I could hear was 'AADhyaa..."
------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up from my dream with a jerk and looked around for the source of that whimpering but no one was in my room other than Matt and Layla who were looking at me with worried expressions. I rubbed my face using both my hands and took a deep breath. I can see that they are trying to stop themselves from asking questions.
"I will be back in a minute," I told them and went inside the bathroom. I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror. My waist-long curly hairs are unruly as always; my eyes are red and puffy and are looking devoid of any happiness. I turned my gaze from my face, wiped the water droplets from my face, and came out of the bathroom. I slowly walked towards the bed, took my specs from the side table, put them on, and sat in the same position as before.
"Are there many people in the pack house right now?" I asked.
"Today is the 22nd of the month. Everyone is on the ground for barbecue," Matt answered. "We came to take you there with us."
"Close the window, matt," I told him, and he did what I said. He again took his previous seat, and now both of them were waiting for me to answer their unasked questions. I took a deep breath to lessen some heaviness from my chest, but nothing was helping.
"Ethan is my mate" as soon as these words escaped from my lips, both of them gasped, but before they said or assumed anything, I completed the whole news... "and he rejected me." Matt and Layla stood growling from their places, and their eyes flicked between theirs and their wolves.
"I am going to rip him limp by limp" Layla's wolf surfaced.
"I will destroy him" Matt wolf is also in control now. Both of them are about to exit my room. I know I can stop them by using my beta command, but I don't want to use my authority over them.
"Don't leave me!" I shouted, and both of them stopped dead in their tracks. I know they were beyond mad as their shoulders were extremely tense, fists were clenched, and even with normal human hearing, I could hear their labored breaths. "Please," I told them, and finally they gave up, came towards me, and hugged me. "Don't tell this to anyone," I told them.
"Layla, stay with her. I will come back in a minute," matt told her, but I grabbed his arm.
"He is your alpha. He will banish you from the pack." I tried to make him understand the situation.
"Having alpha's blood in your veins doesn't make you alpha" ... {he is talking nonsense...}
"I don't want any of you to confront him. I don't want to give him the satisfaction that I am crying like a weakling here when he rejected me without even having a second thought."
"Are you even able to register your words chubby? Did you know why you were feeling the pain a while ago?" he is fuming, and I tried to ignore what he said, but I can't run from the truth... "He is f*****g someone else chubby, and you are the one who has to suffer this because you have not accepted his rejection" he shouted that rejection part, and I flinched. "He made you suffer, you are crying here, and he is w*****g around. He is severing the mate bond between both of you. Both of you are tied to this bond. He can't take any decision alone about this"
