Rejected By My Mate, Chosen By Fate
Chapter 9

A completely wet feeling overcame my whole body, just like something had been poured on me. I instantly woke up to see that Zephyr had poured water on me.

I tried to wipe off as much water as I could from my face so that my vision would clear up and when it did,I saw that Zephyr was fully dressed and he had a grave look on his face.

He threw me some clothes. “Go get ready quickly.” He ordered and I wasted no time in obeying him. I took the clothes and tried to get up from the bed, despite the fact that I was still naked but I found that I couldn’t even stand properly.

My leg muscles betrayed me and I fell back down on the bed on my butt. “What are you waiting for? I said, get in the bathroom.” He barked. I wanted to tell him that I couldn’t walk because I was still so sore underneath so I was experiencing terrible cramps but of course I couldn’t.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair before moving to where I sat on the bed. I thought he was going to drag me to the bathroom but he didn’t. I felt him lift me up and carry me towards the bathroom in his arms, bridal style.

‘But how did he know what I wanted to say?’ I asked Tara. “He’s not drunk anymore so I was able to communicate with Kieran, his wolf and I told him our problem. Kieran in turn told Zephyr.” She told me and I sighed.

We were almost at the bathroom when I realized that I was completely naked in his arms so I blushed and tried to cover myself but he stopped me. “Don’t try to hide from me, stop pretending like I haven’t already seen everything.” He said coldly and I stopped.

He kicked the bathroom door open and gently placed me in the bathtub and this left me more puzzled than relieved. Why was he suddenly being so nice to me? Had he finally started acknowledging me as his mate? No, I shouldn’t get my hopes up. He’s the same man who was so terrible to me last night. He not only beat me up badly, he raped me mercilessly as well, not even caring about my feelings. And if he really had managed to change overnight, which was still in doubt, why didn’t he wake me up like a normal person would? Why did he have to pour water on me and order me around so rudely? One nice act surely can’t cancel out a thousand bad deeds.

I’m pretty sure he has some more sinister or sick plan for me and by doing this, he only wanted to raise my hopes up before dashing them against the rocks like he’s been doing.

He left and came back with the clothes he had brought for me. He hung them on the rack before turning to address me.

“Can you bathe on your own or should I have to bathe you?” He questioned and I gave him a questioning look. He glared at me and I just shook my head in the negative. I don’t know but he suddenly being nice to me isn’t sending me good vibes and besides, it was already awkward enough that he had seen me naked twice. I wouldn’t be able to handle it anymore if he touched my bare skin one more time.

“Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and freshen up very quickly.” He said and I nodded. He left and I bathed to the best of my ability, not being able to touch most parts of my body and most especially my nether region without it hurting and causing me to grit my teeth in pain.

I had known that that brutal, hard f*****g he gave last night would have it’s consequences on my body and I wondered if I would be able to walk straight for days.

An idea came to my mind and I decided to try it. I filled half of the tub with mildly hot water and sat on it, letting my body absorb the steam and it really helped a lot to ease the pain. I had learnt this technique over the years from nursing mothers. Since I was responsible for taking care of the young pups, I was sometimes forced to also help and support she wolves that had just given birth. I had heard the doctor say that childbirth usually opened the birth canal and caused the v****a to widen more than usual, which obviously caused pain and in some cases, tearing. She said that sitting in mildly hot water would help the nether region to absorb steam and the steam would not only help to reduce the pain but also helped to tighten back the v****a. I had first thought it absolutely preposterous but now that I’m having a first hand experience, I can’t help but be thankful that I have the knowledge, it really came in handy at the right time.

I finished up quickly and managed to put on the clothes that he had given me. It consists of a sweatshirt and jeans and after putting them on, I realized they were very free.

‘The clothes must belong to one of the girls in the pack.’ I thought. I took in a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.

His eyes instantly fell on me the minute I came out of the bathroom and he stared at me, maintaining a steely gaze. “Sit.” He said and gestured to the bed and I moved to the bed to take a seat.

“Listen, what happened between us last night was a mistake. It shouldn’t have happened but I was so drunk and angry that I had absolutely no control of my actions. You know how I feel about you, I just can’t bring myself to accept you as my mate and that’s why I’m going to do what I should have done immediately I found out yesterday, right here, right now.” He said and I knew what was going to come next but at least I’ve gotten the reason why he was being nice to me just a minute ago, he regrets what he did to me last night but it’s too bad that his feeling of regret seems to be very short lived.

“I, Zephyr Kingston, Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack reject you, Evelyn Emerson, as my mate and Luna and I hereby break any bond we might share.” He said and the pain instantly struck my heart.

His words didn’t hurt me, they only managed to infuriate me. Why did he complete the mating process if he was only going to reject me the morning after?

Why did he steal my precious innocence from me if he was only going to abandon me the next chance he got? Why?

While I was feeling so angry and bitter, Tara on the other hand felt hurt beyond reasoning. The bond had already been established so the rejection was affecting her so badly, just like a dagger pierced into her heart.

I had only a few words to say to him so I passed the message through Tara, trying to console her as well.

‘I’m sorry Tara, please don’t be sad. I’ve always told you to prepare yourself for this, the Alpha has always been a very selfish and cold hearted person and he certainly won’t change for us.’ I told her, consolatory.

“He shouldn’t have done this, he shouldn’t have rejected us. The bond has already been established, I’ve already mates with his wolf and both of us don’t want this. Kieran really wants us to remain mates but Zephyr is the one going against that.” Tara said tearfully and my heart ached for her.

She is an integral part of me so we can both feel each other’s pain. ‘Tara please don’t be like this, being rejected is hard, yes but it’s not the end of the world so we have to move on. He’s broken the bond that existed between us so there’s nothing left to hold on to. I don’t feel hurt, just really angry. I want you to relay a message to him through Kieran. Please ask what satisfaction he has gained by doing this? Tell him that when he finally replaces out the truth, he’ll rue the day he did this to us. He’ll come begging for our forgiveness but it’ll already be too late by then because nothing’s ever gonna make me forgive him.’ I told her, the tears gathering at the edge of my eyes.

She must have delivered the message because he looked at me with angry eyes before clearly saying. “You’ve forced me to come to a decision, I’m banishing you from the pack right now. You’re going to leave and never show your face here ever again, is that clear?” He asked and I glared at him.

Of course,what did I expect? I tell him the truth and I get kicked out of the pack. Typical.
