Chapter 6
The wind blows back in the other direction, Matt stops trying to get Sarah to calm down and sniffs the air, he turns in my direction and my heart stops beating for a moment. The look on his face when he sees who it was, is of pure disgust and disbelief.
My heart is now shattering, and I can hear Xena whimper inside from the pain she is also feeling, because we both know, we were being rejected. Our mate would never accept us. I must have made a sound, because Kian and Galen are on either side of me each touching an arm.
"What's wrong?" It was Kian who asked first.
"You look like you are about to shatter." Galen said in a worried tone.
There was no point in hiding it, and I know my sister will spread just how pathetic I am. So I tell them, "Matt is my mate." My tone is low, despondent and husky. The two wolves look up at Matt and the look on his face. They both look back at me with sorrowful eyes.
"I'm so sorry." whispers Galen.
"Yeah, you should have better then what's coming." said Kian.
"It's okay." I tell them. "Somehow, I knew today was going to be a very bad day for me. I just didn't realize how bad it was." I felt the ringing in my ears as I started walking in Matt's direction.
"Time to get this over with." I say.
We meet in between our two groups. Darien is still putting down Sarah and her posy. Matt is tall, six one, he's also blond with blue eyes, lean with defined muscle. The perfect mate for someone in my family. But the look in his eyes said he did not find me appealing.
Of course he's been just as disparaging of my dark looks as my sister, since they got together almost four years ago. They'd been on and off for those years, off when my sister wanted to fuck someone else for a while, on when she found out Matt was also fucking some other she-wolf or human female. I knew what was coming, but it was still going to hurt.
"You!" Matt bit out. "No! You can't be my mate, I don't accept you."
He said loudly enough that everyone had stopped and was looking, most of the rest of the school was arriving. So now we are in the middle of an audience. I felt so humiliated, being rejected in public like this, wasn't fate cruel enough to me?!
"I Matthew Frost Stonemaker Reject you Alora Frost Northmountain."
I feel pain, but the bond is still there. I think it's because I changed my name. Yes, I was so disappointed in the family that I secretly went and changed my name. But my name was changed legally and I had made a new blood connection to the Alpha with my new name, so he would have to use that to break the bond. He's looking confused as to why it's not broken yet, so I tell him.
"I changed my name, it's Alora Luna Heartsong now." My voice is low and husky with pain.
"Whatever." He bites out impatiently. " I Matthew Frost Stonemaker Reject you Alora Luna Heartsong!" he yells out viciously.
I felt like I had been struck by lightning inside my chest. The pain was electrical and fiery, it spread from my chest into the rest of my body, I could feel Xena's howl of pain inside my head, as she too feels this. But it's not done. I have to do my part, because there was no way I was going to stay tied to someone who would reject what the Goddess gave them.
"I Alora Luna Heartsong Reject you Matthew Frost Stonemaker." Officially severing the bond, the pain doubles inside me as it shreds, then travels back to Matt with triple the force, he drops to the ground from it letting out a short pain filled howl.
Good! I think, It's what the bastard deserves for hurting Xena and me. I hope karma comes back to make him regret his decision, but I would not EVER accept him in our lives. I turned to walk away, fury starting to burn in my chest, it was helping me to relieve the pain.
Darien and Serenity are standing next to each other, both had sad looks on their faces, the glow of first love muffled in the wave of someone else’s heartbreak, my friend looks at Matt with anger on his face, Serenity's changes to one of determination, of what I don't know yet. I look forward to seeing Kian and Galen looking sad for me as well, then there is fury as my sister steps up to me.
SLAP!!!!
The sound of the slap rings out across the yard. I feel my cheek sting and know it's instantly red with Sarah's hand print on my face. She looks furious and insane.
"HOW DARE YOU TRY AND STEAL MY MALE!" she shrieks. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU DISGUSTING WRECH!"
SLAP!
Now there is a hand print on my other cheek.
"HOW DARE YOU HURT HIM YOU SLUT!"
SLAP!
"YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST ACCPTED HIS REJECTION AND KEPT THE PAIN!"
SLAP!
"IT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO TAKE HIM FROM ME YOU BLIGHT!"
As she goes for another slap, a hand grabs her wrist and holds it in place.
