Aro's POV
After leaving biology, I went to Photography class at the other end of the school. I had to rushed there before I was late. When I got there I wasn't expecting to find a guy in my seat so I calmly walked up to him and said..
" Your in my seat." Thinking he was new or something, but when he faced me I knew the guy I was talking to was Zach. The Alpha of the Frost lands pack.
The boy looked up and I caught my breath, he was absolutely gorgeous and those bright green eyes were breathtaking. His scent was intoxicating sandalwood and chocolate filled my nose. I realized I was staring and quickly moved my gaze away blushing embarrassed. I knew better then to stare at an Alpha so when I noticed him start to move I got scared he was gonna punish me for looking at him in the eye for to long.
Zach got up and said in a husky but sexy voice, " I apologize I didn't know anyone sat there,"
I looked back up at Zach "That's alright, you can sit there I will find another place to sit." I told him as I start to walk away. I hear him inhale and I started to feel weird like I was being pulled toward him. I walked back over to Zach. He raised an eyebrow at me and asked
"So, whats your name?" He asked with the question in his eyes.
"My name is Aro". I said and walked to a different seat.
Ash had mind linked me and told me that she had found her mate. I was happy for her, but was really sad that I had no mate yet. The bell rang and the teacher told me that where I was sitting would be my permanent spot for the rest of the year. I quietly groaned, but told I was fine with this spot. I could feel him watching me through out class and it was making it hard to concentrate. I tried to ignore him but those bright green eyes kept getting my attention. Zach sensed I was sad and when the teacher stopped talking after her lecture and all the notes were taken. We were able to work independently or with someone else. I normally work alone, but today was different. Zach walked over and sat down next to me, and wanted to work with me. His scent filled my nose again. My wolf was going crazy all of a sudden and kept whispering "Mate." I looked up at him and said the word I never thought I would say out loud "Mate."
He looked at me with turmoil he was fighting his wolf. I was feeling happy until I heard the words I never thought I would hear.
"I Zach Hale Alpha of the Frost lands pack reject you, Aro Reese as my mate and future Luna" He said the words that no girl should ever have to hear. My wolf howled in pain for her mate.
Class seemed to drag on after I was rejected. When the bell finally rang I was out the door running trying not to shed any tears. I made it to the bathroom and into stall and locked myself in there until Ash found me. She was begging me to let her in. All of Ash's words landed on my ears but I was so far away that I could barely hear her. I could do was cry, and come up with my way of dying tonight. I was never wanted not by my family and even by my mate. I finally stopped crying and came to my senses. I opened the stall door and met Ash in front of the door with a guy I did not recognize. I started to walk by her when she grabbed my arm.
" What happened" she said with questions swirling in her mind.
" I just got rejected by my mate so leave me alone" I told her and walked out of the bathroom and out of school for the rest of the day.
Ash mind linked me constantly to see if I was alright. I got tired of it so I blocked her and found my way into the woods. Once I was deep enough I shifted into my white wolf and collapsed on the forest floor and whined due to the pain and loneliness. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to being carried. I figured it was just Ash. She always found me, but something felt different I could feel sparks running down my body. I opened my eyes to see Zach carrying me. I growled at him, and he set me down so I could walk.
" Why are you here Zach? You do not want me you made that clear in class today." I said with hurt and anger.
" I still do not want you, I would never want to have a mate that is as weak as you." He said with his teeth clenched.
As if on cue Ash and the guy I had seen earlier walked out of the trees behind us. I ran to Ash and wrapped her in a hug as I lost it again. She held me while I cried and kept glaring at my mate Zach.
" You should be ashamed of your self and you are nothing but a cold hearted asshole. You will never be a good Alpha in my eyes ever. If you understood what your little weak mate has gone through I think you would have changed that mind of yours." Ash said coldly.
" Zach be reasonable, why could you not accept her. I accepted my mate, and I now how much you have wanted a mate to hold, and protect. So why reject her when you do not understand her story." Derek was pleading with Zach to accept me but I new the truth that he would not until I told him about my trauma.
" Zach" I whispered.
He returned his green gaze to me as I built the courage to tell him about my abuse. I walked in between Zach and Ash so I was in the middle and undressed. I heard Zach and Derek both gasp in horror. As they say the jagged cuts and bruises covering my body. Zach started to move closer, but I backed away. I saw the hurt in his eyes as I did this.
" I have been abused ever since my mother died seven years ago. I was the one that told her to go with her best friend to California for a few days and just have fun. They never made it to California, and they died right at the border of Utah. My older brother Cain blamed me for her death and I think my dad does too. Cain has abused me for seven years and makes me relive my nightmare everyday. I have lived my life not being wanted and not being loved. So when I found you were my mate I was happy to finally have someone to love me, but you rejected me due to just judging a book by its cover. I did not try to get to know me you just wanted to find someone strong and beautiful. One look at me and you basically said no that I was not the one. When deep down I was the one you were just to blind to see me for who I was. I'm an Alpha's daughter I have plenty of strength and I my not be beautiful, but I would try and be a good Luna if only you would have let me have a chance."
I finished speaking and looked up at Zach. He was crying I could see the tears streaming down his face as he slowly walked toward me. I stood my ground until he was right in front of me. I was looking at the ground not wanting him to see the pain and anger coursing through me. He lifted my head so that I was gazing into his green emerald eyes I was growing to love.
"Aro, I'm so sorry please let me make it up to you. You can be angry all you want with me, but let me spend my whole life making it up to you for being so blind that I could not see your true beauty. I was a jackass for rejecting you. Please princess. I Zach Hale Alpha of the Frost lands pack accept you Aro Reese as my mate and future Luna." I gasped when I felt our bond strengthen and become one with each other.
