Princess of the Werewolves novel Chapter 9

He didn't look back as he walked up the stairs. 'No' Ingrid whimpered. This physically hurt. Being rejected. The one person that is supposed to love me for eternity, rejected me. It felt like someone ripped my heart out, turned it inside-out, and stabbed it fifty time with a knife. I couldn't hear Ingrid anymore. It was like she disappeared.

Is this how rejection feels? It hurts more than anything the whole world. I felt worthless. Nothing could compare to this pain. I shut my eyes and reopened them countless times, wishing that this was some twisted dream. But it wasn't.

My mate just rejected me.

Asher

Before the rejection

"I can't believe you right now!" Brian shouted. "There is a girl who is destined to be with you, yet here you are. Preparing to make another girl, Luna!"

I sighed. I knew that telling him about Wendy was a bad idea. But he's my Beta. He needs to know. "Well I haven't found my mate, and the pack needs a Luna" I said calmly.

Brian sat down on the leather couch in my office, and rubbed his hand down his face. "What are you gonna do when you find her?" He asked.

I shrugged. "The ceremony is in six days. I doubt that I'll find her" I heard the front door slam, and Wendy's scent filled the house.

"Asher? Baby?" Wendy called out. I'll admit, Wendy was the pack slut. Was is a very important word- it signals past tense. She used to sleep with every guy, including me, but she isn't a bitch. We've been dating for almost six months now. She is actually really kind, which is why I chose her as my Luna.

I met Wendy a few years ago. She was just wandering around the pack lines. At first I thought that she was a rogue, so I approached her. As I got closer, I noticed that she was crying. It wasn't a good day for her. I took her back to the pack house and let her raid the fridge of the Oreo ice cream.

Brian got up. He's not Wendy's biggest fan. "I'm leaving. Don't forget about the meeting with the Head Alpha" he reminded me. I waved him off as we exited my office.

"Oh, there you are" Wendy said when we walked into the kitchen. She strolled towards me and pecked my lips. "You said you wanted to talk?" She asked. I nodded and led her to my office. She sat comfortably on the couch and I sat in the chair across from her. "Did I do something?" Wendy asked nervously.

Wendy jumped in the ocean and floated to the surface. "You coming?" She asked. I nodded and took off my shirt. I jumped in, splashing her in the process. "Jerk!" She exclaimed while splashing me back.

We had a water fight, until Brian rudely ruined the moment. 'What the hell?!' He shouted in our mind-link.

'What?' I asked. Wendy looked at me and tilted her head in confusion. I held one finger up. She nodded and stopped splashing.

'Where the fuck are you?!' Brian yelled. This guy really knows how to cock-block.

'I'm celebrating with Wendy' I stated slowly. What crawled up his ass and had babies?

'Dammit Ash!' He exclaimed. 'The Head Alpha is here!'
