Hated By My Mate Series novel Chapter 7

---- Wolfgang's POV ----

Dammit! What the fuck is wrong with me?!

I came here on a mission and it was to reject her and get on with my life, but I couldn't utter the fucking word.

I kept rambling about her being a liability and worthless to me and the pack as my mate but still, I could not reject her.

She stood there before me, trembling and crying while she heard my reasons and I felt the urge to take her into my embrace and never let go of her. But I couldn't do that! I could not risk this packs safety just because of her.

"Quit the fucking yapping kid! You're breaking her heart!" Cronnos shouted in my head.

I looked into her eyes. Those huge gray eyes that showed every emotion within her. I was afraid she might collapse any minute with her petite form.

"I... I understand..." She finally spoke but looked down to her feet as her hands played with the bag she held, visibly trembling.

It's now or never Wolfgang! Reject her and get over it.

"I..." I started but I got cut off when a strange girl with browm locks and long limbs walked through the living room and ran up to Aurora, cradling her in her long arms.

"Rory. Are you alright?" She asked her and held her shaking shoulders as the young girl cried. Right then, my gamma and Mrs. Kala came back from the back along with Mrs. Craton who immediately took the side of Aurora. They all held a face of sympathy for the petite girl who shook while she sobbed into the other girls arms.

"Alpha, you shouldn't have been so harsh with her. She clearly took the garment unconsciously since she was distraught because some bastard hurt her feelings last night. I'm sure she won't do it again." Remus reprimanded me. If he only knew that the bastard was me.

"Is this the uniform sweetheart?" Kala asked her as she pointed to the bag Aurora held.

She only nodded her head.

"I'll take it with me then, dearie." Kala took the bag from Aurora's hand and smiled at me. "Now, see? No harm done. The garment is back in our possession." She said as she walked back over to where I stood.

I tried my best to keep my expression as stoic as ever and glanced back a the small girl who still denied to look back up at me.

I sucked my teeth and turned to the door. "We're leaving."

I walked out the house still hearing her silent sobs and Cronnos lecturing me about hurting her again, but all that kept running through my mind was how fucking weak I was and that I wasn't able to reject her.

---- Aurora's POV ----

As soon as Montana closed the door, I ran up the stairs and into my room, locking the door behind me. I didn't want to listen to either of their inquisitions.

What would I say? I couldn't tell her why I was so upset. And no, it wasn't because they called me a thief. It was because now I knew for sure that alpha Wolfgang didn't want me.

"Aurora... Don't cry... He does want you. He just doesn't seem to accept it." Rhea tried to make me feel better. But I kept crying and crying.

"Rors! Come on boo. Open up. What's wrong?" I heard my best friend call from the other side of the door.

"I don't wanna talk about it." I replied through the closed door.

"Rory? C'mon Hun. Don't cry. It wasn't serious. They all understood that it was just a mistake." Montana called from outside. "Please open up Rory. I hate to see you like this." She said.

"Go away... Leave me alone." I shouted from my bed. I heard her sigh.

"I think you should go home for now Em." I heard Montana tell Emma and walked away from the door.

"Call me if when you feel better okay? I'm here for you Rors." I heard my friend say before she walked off also.

I don't know when, but I eventually fell asleep.

When I woke, it was already dawn, so I got up and decided to take a walk to help clear my mind.

"You've officially did it Aurora. You've transformed into a wolf. How do you feel?" She asked me.

"I feel... like running!" I said to my inner wolf earning a sweet chuckle from her.

"Then do it! What are you waiting for?" She asked, and I didn't hesitate and sprinted like a wild dog.

I ran so fast I barely saw anything more than a blur as I passed every tree. I felt so free and so alive. It must have been a couple of miles when I reached a clearing with a massive lake. I felt parched so I walked over to it and dip my head to take a drink but stopped when I saw my reflection.

My fur was white as snow and my eyes shined purple like an amethyst. I've never seen or heard of a transformation like mine before.

"Maybe you are unique." Rhea told me, to which I snorted and drank my fill of water. 'Yeah right." I answered back.

I walked back and laid on the clearing allowing myself a chance to rest from all the running I'd been doing.

"You are special Aurora. You just don't see it yet." Rhea continued but I ignored her.

"I'm not special Rhea. I'm useless. You heard the alpha himself. He would not take me as his mate because I was a weakling. A useless wolf." I said as I recalled his hurtful words.

I couldn't help the whimper that escape from within me.

"This is pointless. I have nothing good in this town to hold on to. Maybe I should pack my things and leave." I thought to myself. 'I could go to the village mom grew up in the east. I always dreamed of going there one day."

I was deep in my thoughts when I felt the snap of a twig.

I stood alert and faced the source of the sound and found myself facing a huge black wolf with icy blue eyes. They seemed so familiar, but I couldn't tell where I've seen them before.

The wolf moved threateningly towards me as he growled, bearing his fangs.

"Shit."
