How to reject a Luna

Chapter 9

*Willow POV*

Last night and this morning was so amazing. I mean I have had s*x before, but nothing like that. As soon as he left my phone has been receiving cute little texts from him. Which I am very glad about. I am not really the type of girl to be sleeping with a guy I hardly know, so the fact I did and he didn't instantly run away fills me with immense relief. He rings me that night and we talk for an hour before we get interrupted by Aria and another one of her conquests. I wish him good night and turn up my music. After I shower on Sunday I walk in to find my bed covered in clothes. I look at Aria.

"What is all this?"

"I noticed you don't really have much and I have too much"

"I don't need all this"

"I just feel bad"

"For what?"

"Well you may have noticed I have a bit of an appetite, I just feel bad about you having a put up with it and I appreciate it"

I laugh, a bit of an appetite? An enormous appetite might be closer to the truth, but I don’t correct her.

"It's okay you don't need to give me all this stuff I really don't mind"

I feel weird getting clothing as compensation for listening to s*x.

"I want to I just hope that we can be friends"

I raise my eyebrows, the look of surprise cannot be concealed. It isn’t just the constant stream of bed partners, it is more the attitude that I got from her, I assumed that friendship was the last thing she would want from me.

"You want to be friends?"

"Of course I do as you can probably tell I don't really have many girlfriends"

I laugh casually trying to cover the awkward feeling. It is no wonder, but I can’t talk my friends can be counted on one hand.

"Sure I'll be friends with you, but you really don't need to give me stuff"

Is it accepting bribes, it makes our friendship kind of cheap to take this stuff from her as I have nothing to give.

"Seriously it is fine, I have way too much anyway"

We talk for a good couple of hours, she's actually really nice apart from the near s*x addiction. I sort out the clothes I've never had this many clothes in my entire life. I then study for the rest of the day. After a phone call from Sebastian I fall straight to sleep.

*Tobias POV*

I haven't slept properly days I feel like my brain is about to explode, I have a dull ache all day and then at night it turns to a splitting headache. I can't handle it anymore, I have tried really hard to endure, but I need to smell her scent, I need to be around her, I need her to calm my wolf, to calm myself. I drive straight to her dorms and sneak up to her room, it is a lot easier to sneak around when I am not naked.

As soon as I lay in bed next to her, she instantly rolls over and pulls me close, I wrap my arms around her and kiss her on the forehead before burying my face in her hair smelling that beautiful scent, drinking it in, immersing myself in it, feeling all the tension washing away.

I love how the instant she's around me she feels the urge to hold me. She is sleeping with headphones in again I can hear the soft music humming away in her ears.

I freeze as the door is thrown open, cursing myself for getting so caught up in my enjoyment and momentary peace that I missed the sound of people coming. How am I meant to explain creeping into her bed?

I look at the window wondering if my speed is enough to get out before I am noticed.

I look at the door and decide to stay put, I will attract more attention if I move, leaning against the door is a man and a woman practically going at it. It soon moves to the other bed in the room. I pull Willow closer to me I can't help but feel very uncomfortable holding her little body in my arms while those noises are going on in the same room, every instinct is already telling me to mate with her, but I have been doing a good job at suppressing it, these noises and her sexy body pressed against me is threatening to make all those suppressed desires bubble to the surface.

I just keep breathing her scent trying to calm my wolf enough that I don't feel like mating and marking Willow right here right now, but I am not sure if her scent is making it better or worse.

She nuzzles further into my chest with the sounds that her roommate is making. Even the slight movement of her face against my chest is enough to agitate me. I try and distract myself, as I try and tune out the sounds I notice that they sound slightly familiar, perhaps her roommate is who I heard the other night and maybe that's why Willow always sleeps with the headphones in.

I somehow manage to fall asleep

I wake early even though I've missed out on days of sleep just even a few hours with my mate in my arms and I feel refreshed, even with the torturous conditions. I sneak out of her room and make my way back to the pack house a walk straight up to my room, shower and get dressed for the day. I've made my decision I'm going to talk to Willow, I can't go on like this and I have the perfect excuse today as we are study partners. We are forced together, so she can just hear me out.

As she walks past me without sparing me a glance, walking toward the door to head into class, I grab her on the arm instantly sparks instantly felt between us as our bare skin touches. She spins back and looks at the hand on her arm a slight look of confusion gracing her beautiful face before her eyes follow my arm up till her green eyes meet my brown eyes, her lips curls in a look of disgust.

"Willow can I talk to you for a second?"

Her eyes look at me with a layer of frost, her attitude ice cold as she shakes my hand off. Her soft and sweet voice has a touch of venom which catches me by surprise.

"No I don't want to talk to you"

She completely shuts me down, even though it is what I wanted, her hatred still hurts.

"But we are study partners"

"Which you desperately tried get out of, I will just do the assignment myself, don't even ever speak to me again"

"But Willow please"

"No I said I'm doing it by myself so just leave me alone you got your wish, I'm not your partner, you don’t ave to associate with me, I am not your problem or your burden"

She storms away from me and into the classroom, without a backward look. It doesn’t matter how many times I tell myself that this is what I wanted, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable. Only a few hours ago she as held tightly in my arms and now we are in close proximity but couldn’t be further away.

I follow her in sheepishly, I don't know what I really expected her to come at me with open arms after I've I have just treated her like crap for an entire week. I don't know I guess I expected her to listen at least she is meant to be mine. My one person fated to me for the rest of my life, so she should hear me out or at least look in my direction shouldn’t she?

I sit beside her, I don't know what else to do at this point. Do I try and talk her round or do I just try and get the rejection done now like I wanted? Do I keep the hatred going or do I mend bridges? What do I want? Do I want her?

Every fibre of my being is telling me that I do, but I just can't fight my brain that just keeps telling me that I'm better off without a mate, without her, without a human Luna.

I don't deserve her, she hasn't done anything to me and I treat her like garbage.

She glares at me as I sit down beside her eyes like the heat of a thousand suns burns through me, it actually hurts my heart to see her looking at me like this. Her beautiful face screwed up in a scowl, I guess I toed the line the other night, maybe I crossed the line so far that the line is no longer visible, well past the point of no return.

*Willow POV*

What is with this guy? First he is so unnecessarily cruel to me for absolutely no reason at all, from the very first meeting he has never once said a nice word to me, beyond that, he hasn’t even given me a look that is not filled with disgust and now he suddenly expects me to be his friend and be study partner? Is there something wrong with his brain? Who even thinks that is a starting point of anything but hatred?

He sits beside me looking so cute like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, when usually all that is falling out his mouth is utter garbage. He is the biggest waste of a handsome face.

Be his study partner? After he, in the middle of class, in front of everyone he so publicly declared he didn't want to be my study partner, the way he looked at me, like I was garbage. Does he think that is all water under the bridge? I have never hated and never had an enemy but he is close to being classified as such. Does he think I have no feeling, dignity or self esteem?

Does he think his handsome face allows him to do anything?

What a joke, I just want to punch him.

I just try hard to concentrate on the teacher but every so often I can’t help but glance at him, he just keeps looking at me, his brown eyes stare at me so intently, it makes my skin prickle. What is even with that look? If I didn’t know any better I would think that he wants to get in my pants. I don't know what his problem is, he is the most hot and cold person I have ever met, he has just upset me too many times for me to even think about spending any time with him. He is nasty and I just don't want to be around him at all.

His large tanned hand reaches out, I try and move out of his reach, unsuccessfully. He runs a finger down my arm and I feel this weird sensation. Every time I am around him I feel the same thing. What on earth is it is it? Static electricity? That is the only thing I can associate it with, but it doesn't hurt, it actually feels really nice, I just don't know what it is and I don't know why he does this to me. Why can't he just leave me alone?

I rush out of class as soon as it finishes and head straight upstairs, trying to get as much distance between Tobias and myself as possible, he does weird things to my body, I hate him yet I want him, it is very confusing, I never thought that I liked a pretty face so much that I would overlook glaring personality flaws.

I must just be lusting over handsome face, that must be it.

I start studying again, if I am going to do this entire project by myself, I really have to get to work, I refuse to give in and do it with him, he makes me confused enough, I don’t need to spend a single second extra with him, no contact at all would be best.
