Princess of the Werewolves novel Chapter 12

Shawn knelt down next to me, but I couldn't hear anything. I saw his lips moving, but I couldn't hear his voice.

The pain hurt worse than Asher rejecting me. I shut my eyes, hoping that it would stop. But instead, I had a vision. It was like looking through another person's eyes. There was a redhead. I never seen her before. And they-

I opened my eyes, and another wave of pain hit me. Asher. This wave was quicker, but more painful. I took deep breaths and steadied my breathing.

"Can you hear me?" Shawn asked. I nodded and continued to slow my beating heart.

"What the hell was that?" I asked Shawn.

He frowned. "I've only seen it once..." he trailed off.

"When?" I pushed the subject.

"Do you remember Tori?" He asked. Tori was the pack slut of the Royal pack. She wasn't really bad- but she got around a lot. Her mate rejected her, then she moved. No one has seen or heard from her since. I nodded. "I saw the same thing happen to her. After her mate rejected her, he slept with another girl, and that's what happened" he explained.

I sat down against a tree. "You found your mate" Shawn stated. I nodded even though it wasn't a question. "And he..." Shawn trailed off.

I nodded. "He rejected me" I choked out as tears began to blur my vision.

"I'm so sorry Eve" Shawn said as he hugged me tightly. I clung to him like my life depended on it. Which it probably does.

"What if I die?" I asked after a while. "Wolves can't live without their mates"

"You won't die" Shawn reassured me. "You're strong enough to get back from this. That guy is an ass. He didn't deserve you to begin with"

I smiled at Shawn. "Thanks" he gave me small smile, and we headed back to the pack house. We split up and went into our own guest rooms.

I laid in my bed and thought about today. Meeting Asher. The pain. Everything. I decided that I wouldn't let him affect me. I don't need him. I don't want him if he's really what I saw today. This was just a waste of the Moon Goddess's time.

I woke up at six. I got dressed and went downstairs. Brian was sitting at the table with Shawn. "Morning" I greeted them.

"How'd you sleep?" Shawn asked. I shrugged. "Orange Fanta and Hot Cheetos?" He asked. I nodded my head and he left to go to the store.

"Genevieve" Asher started. Oh, now he wants to speak. Is he serious right now?! "I apolo-"

Oh hell no! "Don't give me that crap!" I shouted. "You just want me, so you can keep your precious title" I snapped.

"That's not true!" he lied. I waited for him to explain.

He didn't even try to come up with an excuse. "Unbelievable" I mumbled.

"Babe! I'm back!" Shawn shouted from the front door. Perfect timing. I glared at Asher. "Babe? Eve?" Shawn asked concerned as he set the back of chips and soda on the table. He looked back and forth from Asher and I.

I moved my gaze away from my ex-mate and softly smiled at my best friend. "Hi Shawn" I said.

'It's him isn't it?' Shawn asked through the mind-link. His hands were wrapped tightly in fists and his jaw was clenched.

'He's the Alpha, so don't do anything stupid' I warned him.
