How to reject a Luna

Chapter 18

*Sebastian POV*

"Willow, do you know Tobias?"

I've never seen him lose it this bad, there has to be some sort of reason behind it. While he is cold and grumpy he is never unreasonably violent and he never speaks to me like that.

"He is the one that has been the jerk to me since the second day of school"

"He is the one? he is the one that has been giving you so much trouble?"

"Yes he is"

Why would he do this, I don't understand he's never really had a hatred for humans before, I mean he is grumpy but he's never just targeted a girl like this. To pick on an innocent girl unnecessarily is just not his style. If I wasn’t looking in Willow’s innocent eyes I would nearly think she was lying. I know she is telling the truth but it just incomprehensible. I feel like I don’t even know Tobias

"Willow has he ever said anything weird to you?"

"What do you mean by weird?"

"I mean weird, as in, out of the ordinary?"

"He said something Friday but I don't know forget about it"

She shakes her head and doesn’t look straight at me, it gets me more intrigued. I hold her hand and looking in her eyes, hoping that I can just dig the thought out of her head.

"Tell me, please"

"He umm he said he rejects me, I don't know it's weird I don't want to talk about it"

My heart sinks and my blood boils at the same time.

"Have you ever touched him have you ever touched his skin?"

"Umm yes I guess so"

"Do you feel anything?"

"Like what? What do you mean?"

"Tell me please, anything"

"I don't know as sort of static electricity or something"

My heart sinks. She is his mate I am in love with my Luna, that is why I always felt the urge to protect her that is where a job is a beta. No wonder I felt like she is meant to be with a werewolf, she is, she is fated to one. No wonder Tobias has been so weird lately he found his mate but didn’t want her. So he found her and instead of just ignoring it or rejecting her, he treated he so badly? How could he do that? His goddess given gift.

He rejected her, she doesn't deserve this. She deserves so much better, what type of man is he? What type of leader is he?

I grab my car keys out of my pocket, placing them in the palm of her hand, I curl er fingers over the keys and hold her small hand tightly with both of my large hands. I want to comfort her, I want to explain. But for now all I want to do is confront Tobias.

How dare he?

He wants to deny her happiness and then still stop me? He is possessive yet unreasonable. He just wants the best of both worlds.

He is weak, only a weak man would not accept their mate.

He is selfish and he is a jerk.

"Willow you have to get out of here, please just drive home take my car and just stay there until I come to get to you if I don't come in 2 hours please leave, leave town"

I want her to be safe. If I fail I don't want Tobias coming for her, he might kill her for her betrayal, I have no idea what is going on with him, I have no idea how far he will go.

*Willow POV*

"Willow you have to get out of here, please just drive home take my car and just stay there until I come to get to you if I don't come in 2 hours please leave, leave town"

What is even happening? First Tobias the nutcase went completely mental and now I have no idea what is running through Sebastian’s head, he looks nervous but that is overshadowed heavily by his anger. Why is he asking me all these strange questions? What am I missing? I feel there is a big secret that I am not privy to and it is making everyone mental.

Leave town? I study his face, he looks deadly serious, but why? For me it isn’t even an option, I have no where to go, I have no home, no family, no money. How could I possibly just leave at a moments notice? Just because Tobias is crazy?

What type of logic is that?

"What do you mean Sebastian? What is happening? What is going on?"

I can see pleading in his eyes as he holds my hand tightly, his voice almost sounds like he is begging.

"Please Willow just do as I say, I just want you to be safe"

"I don't understand"

"Please trust me, just do it"

I nod even though I don’t understand, my head is full of unanswered questions. With how elusive he is being, I am not sure that I can even trust him. He kisses me on the cheek, he let's go of my hand and gets up and walks away. I sit on the ground staring at the keys in my hand. I can't do it, I can't walk away, I need to know what is happening, I hate being in the dark. I have this niggling feeling and my thirst for answers is not letting me follow his request. I need to know why I am feeling this way, I want to know why everyone is acting the way they are.

Something inside tells me I need to follow him, I watch as his large figure disappears from view before I walk in the direction he left to follow him.

Leave? Not until I have some answers.

*Tobias POV*

I walk outside, I walk straight to the training ring to watch the warriors train I don't know why I just thought it might take my mind off things. I feel like doing a million other things, I feel like shifting and running for days on end, I feel like stalking Willow to make sure Sebastian isn’t anywhere near her, I feel like fighting Sebastian, I feel like imprisoning Willow till I am the only one in her eyes. Since none of those things are feasible all I can do is watch warriors train in a zombie like state.

My wolf won’t shut up, the whimpering only adding to the hurricane of emotions tearing through my body and soul. My heart has been ripped into a million pieces. I need to be outside I need to have some sun and I need some distraction.

I hear a big growl behind me, I was so out of my mind that I didn’t even sense him coming toward me, luckily Sebastian would never do something as underhanded as attacking me when I wasn’t looking.

"All of you leave now"

Sebastian’s snarl shakes the ground striking fear into everyone around and anyone in the proximity hurriedly stops what they and disappears in the blink of an eye. I have never heard Sebastian sound like that, even in the peak of battle, even when Trina died, my canines extend as I spin to look at Sebastian, the fire of fury jumping in his eyes, he stalks toward me, his muscles twitching and jumping, his wolf is bristling, I am slightly surprised that his wolf would be with him like this, be complicit in Sebastian going against his alpha in this way.

I may be his best friend but I am his alpha first and foremost.

Both wolves are raging, I can’t even see my friend anymore, all I see is the traces of Willow on him, all I can smell is her scent intertwined with his.

I snarl as soon as everyone is out of earshot.

"You haven’t got the authority to order my pack around"

I am coiled like a spring barely restrained and itching to jump forward.

"I can do whatever I want, I am still your beta"

I sneer.

"Not for long"

The warriors are all running out of the area, trying to get away from whatever is about to happen the deep growl coming from both me and Sebastian. As soon as everyone is out of sight Sebastian launches at me. I side step and laugh maliciously.

If he wants a fight I will give him a fight, he betrayed me, he wronged me more than I ever thought anyone could in my life, he hurt me more than I thought possible.

"Is this really what you want to do here? You know you can't win, are you seeking death? If that is what you want I am more than happy to comply"

He literally screams at me, his voice is filled to the brim with emotions, his blue eyes long gone, only black remains as he stares at me in disgust, my heart lurches, does he know?

"She was your goddess given mate and you rejected her, you don't deserve her, you don’t fvcking deserve her Tobias"

I snarl at him.

"You don't think I know that? But it doesn't give you the right to fvck her"

He laughs in a mocking way, disdain lacing his words.

"If you don't tell me, how would I know that she is your mate? Ohh look a beautiful sweet, sexy girl is in front of me, I won’t approach her at all just in-case she is Tobias’ mate, do you know how nuts and petty you sound, you can't blame me for this, all the blame is on you"

"How can I not blame you, you fvcked her, you fvcked my mate, am I meant to be thankful?"

Of course I know I am being irrational, logically speaking it is my fault, rationally I know that it is my fault, of course rationality is not coming into play at this moment. I am the most irrational I have ever been in my life.

"Yes I did fvck her and she enjoyed it too, I enjoyed it, don't blame me because you're not man enough to take ownership of your property, how long did you know? How long did you know she was your mate?"

I barely keep it together with his provocative words. She liked it? I heard her, I am well aware that she liked it, but my wolf that is barely contained if trying even harder to surface.

"For 2 weeks"

I yell, trying to keep myself from falling apart.

"And in that time you didn't bother to mention it to me even once, not even a slight hint except for being even more sullen than usual, am I meant to read your mind, how could I possibly put any of your non existent clues together. Then in those 2 weeks what did you do? You didn't bother even making a move on her all you did was abused her, talked down to her and made her cry, then to top it all off, to really put the icing on the cake, then you FVCKING REJECTED HER"

I grab him in a choke hold and extend my claws, my thick and sharp claws piercing the tanned and taut skin on his neck.

"Yeah come on Tobias, fvcking do it, if that will make you feel better about your pathetic excuse of a life, do it, get rid of the only person that stood by your side this whole time, the only one that can put up with your s**t day in and day out, do it you p***y, take my life, show me how big man you are, you can kill your best friend and beta but you can’t accept your mate, I would rather die than look at your putrid face, you make me sick"

I look him in the eye, his black eyes meet my black eyes, hatred burning strong. I want to kill him, it would be so easy, it would be so satisfying.

But only for a moment, then there would be regret.

I throw him as far as I can, wanting to inflict maximum damage but not cross that line.

"Get the fvck out of my sight Sebastian, before I kill you"

I am barely keeping my bloodlust under control, I have never wanted to kill someone so much, yet don’t want to.

"You are such a disappointment of a man, of an alpha, how could you reject a Luna like that? How could you reject your goddess given mate. You only get one of them and you should cherish her for everything she's worth"

"She is my property I would do with it what I see fit"

"She isn't your property anymore"

"The rejection wasn’t accepted, she is still mine"

He comes charging at me again, his movements so clumsy and filled with so much hostility, I side step and punch him to the ground knocking him out cold.

*Willow POV*

I haven't been able to hear much of what they're saying, all I can hear is a lot of snarling and growling but when Tobias lifts Sebastian off the ground I swear I see claws. Sebastian is a big man, Tobias is also large but lifting Sebastian like that with one arm is beyond crazy. I worry for Sebastian's life. I don't know what's happening but it can't be good. Just as I am trying to work out if I should try and break up the situation, try and rescue Sebastian, I finally hear something after Sebastian has been thrown an in human amount of distance by Tobias.

"The rejection wasn’t accepted, she is still mine, she is still my mate”

The rest of it doesn't worry me as much as those words just did, I stare wide eyed for a moment, trying to come to grips, yet trying to understand. Hurting as my heart tears into shreds, I turn around ad run as fast as my legs will carry me straight toward the tree line, I throw the keys and phone behind me.

I can no longer stand it, I don’t want to be around anyone, I want to be as far away as possible.
