Rejected, But Not Broken By Katvonbeck Novels & Stories

"You said you wouldn't be back for another month at least!" "Plans changed," Nathan said, laughing as he hugged her back, lifting her briefly off her feet before setting her down. "Turns out three months backpacking through South America is enough to make a man miss actual plumbing, decent coffee, and people who don't try to sell you llama wool at every single bus stop. Where's Ryan? I want to see his face when I tell him about the time I nearly got arrested in Bolivia."

“What pissed me off was she’s in pain. I was in pain but I am an Alpha while she’s not. She’s~~wolfless and she’sfragile.” “You mean, Hannah?” Echo frowned. “You have never been rejected before, Echo. What that bastard did was way more painful than what my mate had said to me. She’s mean and she insulted me, but Hannah. She can read body language, emotions, expressions…” “So, he didn’t reject her by words?” “Yes. It’ll be easy if he did reject her by words so she won’t suffer so badly right now.” RJ swigged the glass to her mouth. “She would’ve had time to reject him as well…”

I rush in. "I know that now." I then proceed to tell him the story about Juno. I repeat the things I told Declan. By the time I got to the end of the story and told him about my inability to shift for years until Alpha Kedar and also a clearer story about my rejection, I was actually struggling to keep my voice from breaking.

Openness and honesty were key, regardless of what might happen between us. I was already very disappointed in Leon because of his betrayal during our marriage. That was what made me numb to him. Now, after we broke up, he tried to win my heart again in a different way. However, I never even thought about going back to him. That bitter experience has taught me many things, including the importance of maintaining self-esteem and not being easily influenced by sweet promises that may not mean anything.

He was still denying us. “As for you Edna, I would never be with a woman like you!” He broke it on me causing me to be completely weak that I landed on the floor. “I, Edric Jordan, future beta of Madeva shine Pack, reject you Edna Whitney as my mate!” I felt like a heavy rock had been dropped on my head by his statement. My heart was already in pieces as if someone had cruelly crushed it with a sharp silver dagger. “From now henceforth, no bond binds us together!” He then finished me completely and I remained motionless on the spot.

“Don’t plot against me. I know what I’m doing is right. And it’ll stay right until I decide to change it.” My eyes widened in disbelief. “You’re insane. There’s no point in talking to you. You’re not someone who knows how to listen.”

“It seems like she could be his mate.” “That would be ironic,” James says with a smile. “That’s Jasmine. She’s my ex actually.” That makes me worry. What is James’ ex going to think about me? “She’s a wonderful woman,” James says. “We didn’t break up because she was a bad person or anything. We just weren’t mates and we knew that. “It looks like we were right about it too. Since now I have you, who’s obviously my mate. And it looks like maybe she’s found her mate as well.”

Good thing the parking garage is further than where the party is. I get into my FJ cruiser, my best car, I ignite it and I just start driving. I don't have a destination in mind, but only a throbbing pain sucking the air out of my lungs. I feel the pain in my chest literally. I know it's going to take sometime for me to heal from the rejection. 'She really rejected us.' My wolf Lamar breaks the silence. 'Yeah she did.' I say back to him. He is broken, just like me.
