.......Larraine's POV........
I took a deep breath as I felt that girl's eyes on me. I reminded myself about my mother until I find my mate my Aunt assigns to me I will not fall for anyone. Finishing up the last rogue attack report I then stand and walk out of the bar. That's when I here my Lycan speak.
" You do know that she likes you right?" My Lycan asks
" Of course I do most people do but I will not expect anyone who is not my mate that my aunt does not find worthy. I will not fall for the same mistakes as my mother did when she gave her heart to someone who was not meant for her." I tell her
"That may be true, but how would you know if you do not even try to let people in. You put up this front like you do not need anyone but really deep inside you only long to be loved by someone. Your heart breaks little by little the longer you find yourself alone, and you may try to deny it, and you may also lie to yourself, but I am connected to you at your soul. You can not lie to me and say this does not hurt you when I know that you are breaking," my Lycan tells me.
"Okay, yes I want to be loved, and yes it does hurt. I acknowledge that, but at the same time I think it is better to keep everyone out and keep myself from falling in love. That way I know for a fact that no one who is not meant for me can have a chance of destroying my heart." I tell my Lycan.
" Again how would you know how to love your mate if you do not let yourself fall in love and learn how to love someone?" She retorted.
" I don't know okay! I don't know, but I will find out when the time comes," I tell her.
So caught up in the conversation I didn't realize that I was already half way to my penthouse at the hotel. I took another deep breath because I already knew my eyes were red. My eye color is naturally hazel, but my eyes change color depending on my mood, so my associates or family I should say know when the best time to approach me is.
I take the elevator to the 5th floor. No one is allowed up there other then house keeping. As soon as I get off the elevator I walk down the hall the my bathroom to draw a nice warm bath. After the morning I just had I needed it.
....... Jessica's POV.......
The energy around her was so cold and I noticed that her once hazel eyes had turned blue. I could not bring myself to look at her. I immediately looked down and started fixing the tables and chairs. It was about 15 minutes before that mysterious woman left.
The rest of the day I helped my aunt fix up the bar and next thing I knew it was time for me to head home. Once I got home I stripped out of my clothes and jumped in the shower and took in the warmth of the water flowing down my back. Once I was done with my shower I immediately went to bed. Although I was exhausted from everything that had happened today for some reason I couldn't sleep. My thoughts kept going to Larraine. I couldn't help but wonder how she could go through life more then once without ever having someone love her. When I finally fell asleep it was about 3am.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The 5am alarm went off.
Ugh! Why did it have to be 5 a clock already, I thought to myself. The alpha wanted a meeting with as early as possible. I immediately got dressed and walked to the pack house.
As soon as I walked in a smell so intoxicating hit me. It smelled like pine with the hint of what is smells like after a rain storm. I followed the sent until I was standing in front of the soon-to-be alpha. Once our eyes locked I immediately heard the word MATE. He grabbed me by the hand and I felt the sparks as he led me to a closet. It felt so amazing but what was about to come next shattered me.
"Why you? why did it have to be you? What is wrong with the goddess?!" Liam exclaimed.
I knew Liam never liked me but every word he spoke felt like a stab to the heart, but what he said next damn near killed me
" I Liam Tanner of black moon reject you Jessica Vera as my mate and future Luna," Liam stated and walked out.
I fell to the floor my heart broke the amount of pain I just couldn't describe I cried and cried. I didn't know how long it was but the next thing I knew my father was standing in front of me with worry.
"Hunny what's wrong?! what happened?" He asked as he scoops me up and holds me in his lap.
The only words I could get out was, he rejected me. I sat there and sobbed and sobbed he just sat there rubbing my back and kissing my head I didn't have to look up to know his eyes were onyx.
If it weren't for the fact I was crying in his lap he would have gone on a murderous rampage. He was silent for awhile before he spoke.
"Would you like to stay somewhere else for awhile close to your work so you can heal? That way you won't have to deal with the pain of seeing that bastard," my dad asked.
I couldn't speak I just nodded my head yes. He then took me by the hand and walked me to the house to help me pack some clothing before driving me to a hotel.
When we got there my dad told the lady that I was going to be staying there for about a month or so. The lady told him the only room available was the suite on the fourth floor. He told her that was fine and paid in full.
I couldn't help but stare at the ground. I didn't even lift my head when the lady at the desk gave me my room key. I just followed my dad to the elevator. Once we got to my room I walked to the bed and fell face first into it. My dad unzipped my suitcase and started unpacking my clothes.
"Hunny if you need anything I'm only a mind link away," he said before kissing my head.
"I know thanks dad I don't know if I could deal with being there,"I replied.
"I will let your aunt know what is going on. You take the day off. By the way who did this to my baby girl?" He asked as his eyes turned onyx again.
"L-Liam," was the only thing I could get out before I felt a really bad pain with heat. I couldn't help but scream.
"Hunny! What's wrong?! What's the matter babygirl?" My dad asked with worry.
"I-I don't know, I feel like hot cerated knives are piercing through my heart," I explained.
"That bastard!!! How dare he do this to my daughter! First he had the audacity to reject my daughter but then not even an hour later he's having sex with someone else."
My eyes widened I couldn't believe what my father just said but it made sense. He calmed a bit.
"Babygirl you need to accept his reaction to the moon goddess. Although he rejected you your mate bond will not be fully severed until you do. Until you accept it you will feel his betrayal with someone else," he explained.
"I Jessica Vera accept your rejection Liam Tanner," I say in barely a voice.
Although it hurt it didn't hurt as bad as the first time. Exhausted from all the emotions I passed out on the bed. My father kisses my forehead and leaves my room.
