Rejected
RENEE'S POV.
Without another word, Bane walked away. My heart hurt as I watched him leave, once again turning his back on me, once again rejecting me. He mistook me for Aurora and kissed me. Before accepting the kiss, I also had a feeling that something was wrong with Bane.
He really hated me so much and he couldn't just kiss me out of the blue.
But this time, he was drunk and he thought I was Aurora.
Totally disappointed , I sat on the forest floor, unable to move, my mind replaying every moment with him.
The kiss was my first but it felt so intense.
But I knew it in my heart that it will never happen again.
My Wolf was so hurt too. It tugged at the back of my mind without speaking to me. She was hungry for him. "Lets go and hunt", I spoke. She had gotten much better with her hunting skills and had even caught a couple of foxes, but it had been a few days since we'd eaten.
She didn't reply i'mmediately and I sat on the forest floor until coldness reached my heart.
I was freezing. It was foolish of me to stay in my skin in this climate. Winter was upon us and snow would fall soon. Quickly I let the change happen, and Shannon's fur covered my skin.
She finally accepted the hunting. We hunted for several hours, but it just wasn't our night, and once again I trudged back to our ledge on the mountain, too exhausted to continue. It was already late in the night but I didn't care.
I shifted into my skin, braving the cold night air, and pulled myself up the side of the cliff. I needed the comfort of my bear. My hands felt empty after having twined my fingers in the soft texture of Bane's hair.
The freezing temperature quickly numbed my hands and feet, making it dangerous for me to scale the rock face. On the way down, my foot slipped, causing a gash in my heel. I couldn't hold back my whimper. Tears slid down my cheeks. I blinked them away so that I could see.
When I was safely down, I shifted back into the warm fur of my Wolf and hugged the stuffed animal tight between my paws. My tiny bear was hardly a consolation prize compared to the magnificent beast I wanted to hold, but it was all that I had.
As I laid my head down, my attention was riveted to a dark shadow, hidden, across the field, amongst the trees. My heart raced.
Whatever it was, was downwind and too far away for me to smell. I blinked and then it was gone. Had I just imagined it? I shook my head to clear my mind. Clearly my loneliness was causing me to see things that weren't there. I closed my eyes, and let sleep take me.
..........
In the morning, I yawned and stretched, resisting opening my eyes. Until my alarm rang pissing me off. My head snapped around, and my jaw fell open when my neck ached.
What in the hell?
My limbs were damn sore from hunting. Unfortunately we didn't even hunt any animal. It was really a bad night because Bane rejected us and also we failed to get something to eat.
After collecting myself together, I made myself focus then I walked ro the bathroom. I turned on the heater then I settled my body down into the hot water. A loud sigh of satisfaction rumbled across my lips. Heaven, pure and simple, heaven. My sore muscles released and unknotted until I was just a blissful, muscle-less jellyfish with a goofy grin on my face.
I washed and conditioned my hair before moving on to clean the rest of my body. I looked at the clock to find my allotted thirty minutes was almost over. Not wanting to be late, I jumped out of the tub, dried off and got dressed.
I bounded down the stairs, my belly growling as the scent of something delicious came closer. Turning the corner into I saw one of the maids, Jessica preparing something. She smiled and gave me a wave to come forward. "Come and you eat", Her words only meant that my parents weren't around. No maid was allowed to give me any food.
I didn't bother refusing her offer. I didn't want to. I was so hungry and all of the items on the tray looked delicious.
She stared at me with an amused expression while I gobbled down the food. When I was so stuffed I couldn't eat anymore, I murmured shyly, "Thank you for the food."
She smiled and then nodded pointedly toward the stairs. My lips curled into a genuine grin. It felt so strange. Ever since Aurora died, I stopped smiling genuinely.
I stood to my feet and dutifully walked back up the stairs to my lovely bedroom. Pulling the blanket back, I slipped into the amazing bed. The softness and comfort shocked to me. Knowing I could rest peacefully-I was safe my eyes drooped and sleep claimed me almost immediately.
Promptly three hours later, an alarm clock muttered a soft whirring sound, alerting me out of my slumber. Again, I jumped up, feeling more refreshed than I'd ever been and headed back down the steps, toward more delicious tasting treats.
As I finished eating, it occurred to me that I had eaten three times that day. I had never eaten three times in one day. Ever. Usually, it was only once, or none.
Slurping down the last of my orange juice, I sat back with my hands propped on my bulging belly. Jessica smirked, "Its been so long eince you last smiled like this?" Jessica murmured in her mother like voice.
"I know, thanks for the care and food", I didn’t have words to reply to her so I spoke those and shyly walked away from her.
