Rejected Mate
Chapter Two: Wait what?

I hear a rustling sound to my left and immediately perk up, this so cannot be happening right now.

"Get up rouge” I hear a demanding voice making me whimper."Summer? How are we alive" I question confused, I look down at myappearance and realize I have somehow shifted back to my humanform.

I stand up in the bush making myself known, I know this is no man'sland, so why is someone with so much power here.

"No idea, but please kill us" my wolf whimpers in pain before retreatinginto my mind.

"I didn't know this was pack territory. I am so sorry I promise that Ithought it was no man’s land” I power out with pride, the man sniffs theair trying to work out my rank before becoming rouge. Something onlyBetas and Alphas can do. The confused look in the man's eyes makesme know immediately that I have three different ranks coming off inwaves.

"rank before rouge" he questions, I sniff the air and smell the scent of aBeta.

"Well, it depends, my mother is the pack doctor and my father awarrior, I was demoted to the position of omega because they weren'tmates and she cheated. My mate, now ex-mate was a future beta" Istate with no waver in my voice.

"Rejected?" he questions his tone starting to become more gentle like aconcerned brother.

"Yes sir, I knew who my mate was for a year because I am older, thewhole time I was bullied and abused by him. He turned sixteenyesterday and rejected me. I don't know how I am alive” I state makingthe man in front of my nod.

"My name is Ben; this is no man's land. I was looking for my sister, whojust so happened to run out of our territory. You look injured; if you arewilling to help me replace her, I will allow you onto our territory so you canbe checked out by the pack doctor and healed.”

"Are you not scared that I will attack anyone?” I question warry of Bensinvitation.

"you are injured pup, and you haven't attacked me yet so no I'm not"he states, I nod my head before leaning down and grabbing mybackpack. I sniff the area for non-rouges and am caught with one otherscent. I take off running towards it when I sense other rouges around. Iknow Ben isnt too far behind me. Living on the outskirts of the packmade it very easy for me to learn to fight and separate scentssomething most wolves would dream of.

I look around and see a circle of rouges surrounding the scent of thenon-rouge which I am guessing is Bens sister. Pushing through thecrowd, I see a little girl no older than ten curled in a ball.

"are you Bens sister?" I question, I know Ben is keeping back as not tocause trouble.

"How do you know my brother” she cries out, I can tell she is scared ofwhat is going on.

"I just met him. I'm Erika, come on" I hold my hand out to her to take, Iknow she is staring at it worriedly, but she also knows she is in moredanger just laying here.

"she is ours’ rouge, go replace your own meal” one of the rouges growlsout. Out of nowhere Summer roars to life letting out a ferocious growl."How is she a Beta and a rouge, let's get out of here" they all yell atonce running away.

I hear Ben run over and soon spot him beside his sister.

"Are you sure he rejected you?" Ben questions making me nod

"Let us get you checked out, you are bleeding after all" he smilesbefore we head off in the direction of his pack.

the minute we get into the territory everyone is bowing

"I let the pack and the alpha know that you where coming to getchecked out and what you did, this little munchkin is the only truefemale Beta left born from the line of first werewolf Betas," Ben statesmaking my eyes bulge out of my head. This is the last true werewolfpack. All werewolves are descended from either the first Beta or alphaline, but over the years other supernatural creatures and humans alikegot mated to werewolves making the line not pure.

"so I just saved one of the most important people from being dinner?" Ilaugh out making Ben nod.

"shes here, mum" Ben yells out, making an older woman run down thestairs.

"wait if that is your mum" I start to say when Ben cuts me off.

"yes my father cheated on my mother, her mother was the last and diedin childbirth making her the last" I nod my head in understanding.

It is a very complicated process, but basically, you need to sleep with atrue werewolf descended from the alpha or beta line and be a truewerewolf yourself to make a true werewolf baby, the downfall is mostof the true Beta and alphas are born male and very little are bornfemale making the true werewolves die out.

If this little girl is the last true Beta, that means if she dies beforesleeping with a true werewolf, she will kill the Beta line. The pro side is atrue werewolf can get pregnant from the same sex, but most prefer notto.

"thank you for protecting her. You should go see a doctor before youbleed out" Bens mother smiles while ushering her into the house, I wishI had found out her name.

Looking down at my legs, I realize one is broken and bleeding badly. Ihadn't even realized I was running so much on adrenaline and sorrowthat my body must have been ignoring it.

"Come on, let's go" Ben smiles sadly while leading me towards a smallcentre which I assume is the medical ward.

My heart starts to ache, making Summer cry in pain.

"what's wrong" I question trying to work out what's wrong with us."We didn't die, so mate didn't either. His heart can't take it, so it keepsstopping and then restarting until we die it will stay like that" Summerwhimpers making me think about just not getting checked out andfixed by the doctor. I will be allowed out of the territory so I can go anddie in peace. While I know it is making him stop suffering which heshould suffer, it is causing us pain to which i don't want.

"You know what? I am okay. Nothing that won't heal on its own. I think Iwill go" I smile at Ben.

"I can't let you do that" Ben states making me growl.

"and why not" I question putting my hands on my hips.

"because I know you won't heal by yourself, I also know your mate isstill alive and keeps dying and coming back because you are alivemeaning you will just leave and commit suicide or piss off a rouge tokill you themselves," he states matching my tone.

"how do you know that?" I question with a glare

"because I found it interesting you didn't die after being rejected, then Ithought back to my dad explaining to me why he cheated, and Irealized you must be one of the three true Alpha werewolves” he statesmaking me stop dead in my tracks.

Say what now.
