Rejected By Friend Novels & Stories

The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched as she snorted lightly. This jerk was just threatening her a second ago, telling her to stay away from Nathaniel. Now he had the cheek to request to be friends? Nicole refused this friend request without a second thought. She felt sleepy, so she turned off her phone and went to bed. Eric saw the reply on his phone and his face sank. The notification was: “Friend request rejected.” ‘Ugh, I must’ve scared her just now!’ Eric thought. He had worked hard all night but made no progress. He felt so desperate like he was facing an abyss, yet he was unable to do anything...

"I don't want to be your friend." "Well I'm not willing to let you be anything more right now so are you willing to take what you can get? I can hang up, you know? I don't have to keep trying with you." I wasn't even sure I was trying with Tyler any longer. The more I reached out to him, the farther away he seemed to get. Every time I saw a glimmer of hope for us he said or did something to convince me my decision to reject our mate bond had been the right one.

I'm glad she is Elena's friend—hopefully, some of her confidence will rub off on my future wife. Elena needs it. She lacked self-esteem in the past too, and I think my rejection crushed her. It saddens me what I did to her. She didn't deserve the harsh words I threw in her face. I don't deserve her. But I want her. So I will spend my entire life making amends for the past because, in the end, I can't live without her. Losing Ethan as a friend destroyed me and sent me on a dark path, and meeting Elena felt like fate.

"Okay, please. I'm begging you. Let me go." "Why should I?" "Because… I… I don't know. Please, we're friends… we're mates." I tried to find a relationship between us. However, that seemed to worsen my situation because he frowned hard. "About that… I don't know how well you're informed, but we can't be mates. It's a lifelong commitment, but I can't do that. My heart belongs elsewhere. I love Lyric, and nothing will ever change that." "Are you going to reject me?" My heart began racing wildly. "Please don't. I've read about what happens to people that are rejected. Please. I can't bear the trauma of that. Please." I cried.

Did I never get him anything he liked? Chris was getting in my head. I was questioning 14 years of friendship now. The mate rejection was messing with my head already and now Chris. Something was going on and I was going to get to the bottom of it.

I blabbed and laughed awkwardly. "So after that, what happened? Did you guys kiss and mate afterward?" She asked curiously, her eyes beaming with hope. "No... My mate rejected me afterward." I told her and I could see her shoulders deflate. "Why? What happened? Didn't he like you? Mom says a mate rejection is always so painful!"

"Rejection isn't exactly what I fear. I'm afraid of what may come along with it; friendship and happiness. Our happiness. I don't want to lose any of it..." "If I tell her how I feel and she rejects me, she may not want to get closer to me like before. She won't be able to express herself like we used to, and I don't want that. I won't be happy, she won't be happy. I will lose friendship and happiness, and I'm not ready for that…"

Was she out here meeting a secret lover? “What the fuck are you doing?” Aaron asks, head tilted in absolute confusion. “Are you on crack? You are, aren’t you?” “She rejected me!” I snap, glaring at my insensitive ass of a best friend. “Who did?” Aaron asks, still lost, not understanding what I am saying. “You’re not making any sense, man.” “She rejected me and denounced the whole damn pack!” I growl, my blood temperature rising the more I am forced to stew about the situation.

He said with a lot of confidence. "I rejected him, I don't like him. You know I can reject people, right? I can't just go around having sex with everyone, Nick.." I said with a frown, this conversation was just annoying. "Me." "Yes, well, Nick you're my friend. I'm not gonna have sex with you." I snapped at him, never have I ever thought about doing the nasty with him, he is the only real friend I have I'm not about to lose that because of sex.

Who was supposed to—to help me process rejection and embarrassment and the crushing disappointment of wanting someone who didn't want me back. She'd ignored me. Maybe she was asleep. Maybe she hadn't seen the message. Maybe she was busy with family stuff and would respond tomorrow. Or maybe—maybe she was avoiding me. Uncomfortable with my feelings for Caden. Unsure how to—to navigate best friend having crush on pack warrior. I threw my phone on the bed. Pressed palms against my eyes. Tried not to cry again. Caden Storm had rejected me. Gently. Kindly. But—but absolutely.
