"Some things are not in our control, addy, they just happen, and we have to transform our lives according to that" I did not expect that. Ethan and me having a decent conversation. That sounds like a myth already... {but he did call me addy}. After ten years, he suddenly remembered that I was addy and not some weirdo. "No matter how much my wolf wants you, he also knows we can't take you as our luna. His attraction to you is only because of mate bond and nothing else," he said, and I looked into his eyes.
For the first time in these last ten years, he is not mocking me, not throwing insults at me, but still, the sincerity of his words is piercing my heart... {but can I contradict him? Do I have any counterstatement to tell him that he is wrong? Is he wrong? he is right. He is never attracted to me, and no matter how much I hated that word 'weirdo,' that's the truth. I am different from anyone else. I neither have the qualities of humans nor that of werewolves. I can't say that Stella came between us, she was always there with him for the whole three years, and just because the moon goddess wanted to have a good laugh by mating me with him, I can't deny that he is nothing but serious about Stella. He is not a manwhore, who sleeps with every girl. He is only with Stella and no one else.}
I looked at him, and he was still looking at me in pain. I wiped my tears and gave him a genuine smile; he looked as if he melted with my one look. "I never wanted you as my mate Ethan because I know that you will never love me" he is not stopping himself from expressing anything right now because I can read his expressions very clearly, and right now, my words shocked him "and still when I found out that you were my mate I was beyond happy, and this is not because of any stupid alpha thing or like that. You were my friend once, so I believe that you have known that little about me." I smiled, and a similar smile came on his face. Maybe he still remembers our childhood time together.
"Finding a mate is a potent indication for me that I am not an outcast or weirdo. I felt a little feeling of belonging and acceptance. So, I can't deny that your rejection is a cruel blow for me" now, he looked away from me and clenched his jaw. "I was always afraid that one day Layla and matt would find their mates and leave me alone here at the place where no one wanted to accept me" I didn't look at him, but I could feel his gaze on me. "I have tried to blend in with people as much as possible because I don't want to be an outcast, but nothing helped, but now I think people are not going to change. They will always be the same as they are right now. So, from now I will do everything that I want. I don't want any feeling of belonging. If they want to call me names or treat me differently, I will not prove them wrong now..." I got up from the chair and took a few steps away from him, and confused expressions crossed his handsome face.
"I AADHYA Brown, daughter of late Daniel and Rose brown of blue moon pack, accept the rejection of Ethan smith as his mate and luna of blue moon pack" as soon as these words escaped my lips, Ethan fell to the ground and screamed in pain while I clutched my chest. I also sat on the floor as the pain was slowly becoming unbearable. I gasped for breath while trying to stop my pain. After a few minutes of insufferable pain, it started to fade away. I looked around and found Ethan still screaming and thrashing. I crawled towards him and took his hand in mine. Again, sparks traveled down our bodies, and the overwhelming urge to hug him surrounded me, but I restrained myself from doing so. He is still on the ground but is not screaming anymore, ..{so I am guessing mate bond still has effect} ... I don't know how long we sat there holding each other's hand, but I left his hand cautiously when my mobile rang in my pocket.
"Hello"
"Tell us that he has not done anything to make us kill him," I heard Layla's voice from the other side.
"I will be in my room within 5 minutes," I told her, and she cut the call... {now I have to give them complete details} ...
I got up from my place and looked at Ethan, who was looking crestfallen. "it's good to have a decent conversation with you, Ethan," I said, and without waiting for his response, I went to my room. As soon as I entered, I met with a furious Layla and matt.
"She had been crying," Layla roared, but I burst the bubble before she assumed something terrible.
"I accepted his rejection" as soon as these words left my lips, they froze in their places.
"You accepted his r-re-reje--" Layla did not even be able to say the word and shuddered.
"But-" Matt wanted to say something, but he finally shook his head and slumped on the bed in defeat. I already saw that shine in their eyes when I told them I had found my mate yesterday. Whether Ethan rejected me or not, they still have that small hope in them that he will take his rejection back and accept me as his mate, but when I have accepted his rejection, there is no chance of a U-turn.
Matt stood from the bed and hugged me while Layla was still trying to gather her thoughts. "Are you alright, addy?" he asked me, and I tightened my hold around him.
