REJECTED

Priority

Nathan.

Training!

Yes, that is what had brought me to Dawson Pack, training their warriors but I could not put my mind into it. Some wolf in this pack had hurt my mate, how was I supposed to just ignore the rage in my heart and train them.

Do you know what the worst thing was? I had asked my beta and the warriors I had travelled with to get me information on the she wolf that had left the pack the members all claimed everyone was present that no one had left the pack.

Did the mate that rejected know she had left?

Was he guilty?

Has he even attempted to search for her?

My warriors had their ears peeled for any form of clue on the whereabouts of my mate, we have been here a week now and in that week no one had questioned anything about anyone leaving.

Just what kind of life had she lived at this pack?

Apart from the alpha giving us the name Brianna Potter to the rest of the pack it was like she did not exist. No friends, no hobbies, nothing.

No one knew a thing about her, for such a small pack like Dawson Pack it showed just how much effort they had put in ignoring her existence.

It felt very intentionally, so deliberate.

A pack that did not like my mate did not deserve my help.

"We are leaving, go tell the warriors to get ready." I finally ordered by beta to inform them having made up my mind. People always liked to say that I was always moody which I always felt like was all in their imagination but since leaving Alpha Colton's office even I felt that I was moody.

I was not in the mood to do anything, my wolf was whining in my head all the time adding to my bad mood. I could not stay here anymore.

I mean how could I? My mate was out there, all alone. The alpha had mentioned something about her not being able to shift but I really did not care, all I wanted was to have with me, to protect her. That was my first instinct as het mate, to find her keep her out of harm's way.

Mind made, I matched into Alpha Colton's office. “I am sorry Alpha Colton but I have to leave." the first statement that came out even before he offered me a seat.

I didn't even say hello, all I could think about was Brianna standing right were I was right now asking him to leave the pack and him letting her go without any care in the world.

I was getting angrier by the minute.

“What! why? But you just got here, my warriors are not even trained yet." he said, voice filled with panic. With the rise of rogue I could understand him but I had my priorities set. I needed to find Brianna as soon as possible.

“I'm sorry Alpha but the wolf you let go of is my my mate, my second chance mate." I say emphasizing on the second chance part, “She is the only chance I have left at getting a mate and I need to find her, she could be in danger right now." I declare leaving no room for argument.

“But.. but my pack can help you find her." he tries to reason out with me. “I can organise a search party right now if you want!”

“Your pack? This very same pack? I have asked around if anyone one knew Brianna, I wanted to at least know her hobbies, favorite color, anything but guy what I realized Alpha Colton."

“What?" I could hear the dread in his voice.

“No one at this abominable pack knows any Brianna Potter, in fact most of them were a hundred percent sure every member of the pack was still present. Do you know what that means?" Colton just shook his head in reply

“That means you and your pack can not help me. You guys are probably more clueless about her than I am so how do you expect me to hand over the search for my mate to you guys? Let me guess, you still don't know the wolf that rejected her right?" I laid down all my accusations plainly. I was not going to sugar coat for Alpha Colton.

I knew it was not his duty to keep up with everything going on in the Pack but Brianna being that much of an outcast could not have gone unnoticed by him. He had just decided not to do anything about the situation.

“I will take my leave Alpha, I will return when I find my mate. Until then, do stay safe." I say before walking to my pack mates. The beta had mind linked me about them waiting for me at the pack entrance.

Honestly staying and helping Dawson Pack felt like I would be betraying my Brianna and even though I had promised Alpha Colton to go back when I found her, I would only go if Brianna agreed to let me help them.

The one wolf they had singled out turned out to be the very one their fate rested upon, Brianna would be like the Merlin to their Arthur and I would make sure of it.

Brianna

Independence, freedom, total illusion to a sixteen year old. How did anyone expect me to survive? How had I expected myself to survive?

I had craved for them for so long in my life but I had not prepared myself for the responsibilities that came with them. The whole thing was enticing till you actually had it.

I had been out of a pack for a week now, just three more till I turned rogue, till my animal took over completely, honestly I had no idea what that meant me because I had ‘not shifted' yet.

Maybe I'll just join my wolf in hibernation in the hopes of becoming new day sleeping beauty, who knows maybe I could get an awakening kiss from prince charming before I went feral.

What animal was meant to take over when I had to animal? The unknown got me even more paranoid, it was easier knowing what could happen than living with a lot of what ifs.

I had already crossed paths with a pack.

"What are you doing here pup?' I was at the eatery, stuffing my face with burgers when I was rudely interrupted. I had almost snapped back at the unwanted guest till my brain recognized his way of addressing me.

He had called me pup. Humans could not tell my species but one wolf would know another.

"Eating." I reply mid chew feeling offended that I had been interrupted, I was just so hungry. In this moment my priority was most definitely food, that is all I cared about.

I was going to take another bite before I was roughly yanked out of my chair my poor little burger falling in the process, dragged out the eatery all the way to some pack house. No one had bothered to help me so I guessed it had to have been a normal happening in the town.

Thank the goddess I had that note from Alpha Colton with saved from prison time and possibly even being killed but I could not stay in Fairville for more than a week.

My week would be up tomorrow, I had to leave. Where to? I still had no idea but I would figure something out soon. I had to think on my toes, any form of miscalculation could as well mean the end of my life.

Why had I thought leaving would make everything easier?
