Rejecting Your Rejection novel Chapter 22

"Before you go, was there something I could've said to make your heartbeat better?" Lewis Capaldi

Everyone was expected to be at dinner tonight.

Dante has finally won over the territory he's been dreaming of. He should be overjoyed and party all day yet there was something missing and he knew at the time what he was missing. He was missing her so badly, his mate.

Seeing her smile with Kiev gave him another perspective. He doesn't have to be selfish.

He stood by the pack door when he saw her enter from the safe house, with Kyle and a bubbly Cora behind her. The ones in the neutral territory have come to his pack for registration or resignation.

Dante's eyes were focused on Daniella who was wearing simple black jeans with a plain oversized red shirt. Even if she is wearing those simple clothes Dante finds it hard not to run at her.

They were getting near to him Daniella slowly falls behind Kyle and Cora who both went straight into the pack house when they pass him.

"Hey," he said hi to her and Daniella just nod her head and try to walk out again.

Dante's hands were around her arm "can we talk" he whispers. "For?" "Please just hear me out" she stood there thinking then finally agree in the end.

They move to his office to talk Daniella sat opposite him while he half sit on the edge of his desk facing her.

"I know I've said this a lot of times but I wanted to say it. I don't care how many times you hear it from me-"

Dante almost didn't finish his sentence as his own tear betray him. He got down on his knees, taking her hands into his.

"I am really sorry Dani for everything"

She didn't speak she just sat there looking back at him, she was expecting him to say more but he didn't.

There were a lot of things they need to talk about but Daniella couldn't bring herself to do it so she pushes away his hands' tears slipping from her eyes.

"I don't understand you Dante" she wipes off her tears and he just stays there on his knees. "That's the only thing I've been hearing from you for these past months, sorry, sorry, sorry... I am sick and tired of hearing that from you"

"don't just say I haven't tried Dani" she shook her head in disappointment.

"Have you Dante? I mean is that all you have to say... I didn't need to hear your sorry... What you just have to expect me to do with your sorry when you haven't asked for my forgiveness yet" she sobs up.

Dante move to her "have you noticed why I never ask for your forgiveness."

She walks passes him "nope, and I don't care anymore. Save it for your chosen mate and future pup"

he grabbed her arm not too tight to hurt her "because it's unforgivable and I have no excuse for it just so you know I won't ever ask for a chance again Dani," his voice in a whisper.

She felt him try to breathe behind her, he turns her around gazing into her eyes filled with regrets
