“I’m ok.” She stops me from walking and gives me that look that’s calling bullshit. “No, honestly I am. Of course, at first, I wasn’t, I mean no wolf wants to be rejected by their mate especially because of a scar that she can’t change but after hiding out since it happened and talking a lot with Annabell… my wolf, I’ve come to terms with it. As for what happened, I always knew there was a chance of it happening and now that it has, it’s just something that I’m going to have to live with.” I shrug as I give her my best smile. Of course, I’m sad about the situation but I’m not going to let it ruin my life.
The heavy door that leads to the cells creeks as we walk through it then makes a loud thumb as it slams behind us as we walk down the stone steps that lead to the one place that looks and smells like hell. The one thing I hate about bringing Luches down here is that you have to walk past the cells to reach the room that the warriors use to eat in. Seeing people locked away isn’t nice even when they deserve it.
As we make our way past the cells I hear a voice that instantly makes me want to throw up. “Well, hello there, mate. Are you here to finally set me free?” I turn around and come face to face with the one person who should be by my side right now but instead, he rejected me and has somehow gotten his stupid ass locked up.
“Ignore him, sweet girl.” Suzzy grabs my arm and goes to pull me along with her when he once again tries to talk to me. “Come on, darling let me out. I was an idiot rejecting you, I don’t know why I did it but I seriously regret it. I was on my way to find you when a group of Warriors surrounded me and threw me in here. I don’t even know what it is that I have supposedly done.”
I stare at him and a shiver of disgust rolls through my body. I’m not sure how stupid he is but if he thinks he can work some sort of magic with me because he was supposed to be my mate then he’s clearly off his head. It’s clear to see that he’s lying and I’m not about to fall for any of his bullshit. “What do you say, mate… how about you get me out of here and we start things again? Neither of us is with anyone so we can just take back the rejection.”
Fuck, this guy is seriously stupid and has some serious balls. “I’m not your mate because you didn’t want me once you saw my scar. It’s a bit strange how all of a sudden now that you want my help you also magically want me to be your mate!” Inside I’m shaking but somehow by some miracle I manage to appear unaffected by his words on the outside and I’m seriously grateful for it. If anything my voice is strong and confident and I love it.
I hear the door to the guard room open once more but again I keep my focus on the prick in front of me as he finally snaps and loses his good guy act. “You are a worthless piece of shit. You should be honored I would even entertain the idea of being with you. On second thoughts, I don’t think I could do it. Imagine waking up to your face every day… Fuck, it would cause some night terrors.” His words hurt, of course, they do but I don’t show him. He’s not the first person to insult me because of my scar and he won’t be the last. I learned how to hide the hurt years ago and he ain’t about to see any different.
“Speak to my mate like that again and I’ll rip your fucking face off!” Oh fuck no!
