86-The One Matel Forgot About
“Then why don’t you tell me what is it?” the way Maynard asked him was his way to confirm nothing could scare him or make him turn his back on me.
“She might have accepted you but she hasn’t accepted my rejection all these times,” Corbin’s words compelled a gasp out of my lips.
I was not only lost but confused too. I started going through that awful day in my head quickly to remember what exactly happened that day.
“What did you just say?” Maynard finally took interest. I was going crazy in my mind, thinking about the day when they had injected wolfbane into my system.
How did I forget to accept rejection from him or tell my mates about it?
“Ah! See, there is that look. I knew there is no way you would know about it and still be okay with it,” he let out an evil chuckle after he was done messing me up.
“I think you should better speak to her now,” Corbin mumbled after patting Maynard’s shoulder and then walked out of the situation like a prideful Alpha King.
The moment Maynard turned around to look at me, I knew he was vexed. I felt even guiltier when his eyes held so many questions in them now.
“Tell me what he just said is a lie,” he demanded angrily, “Enya! Tell me you have already rejected him or accepted his rejection.” he waited and waited but I didn’t know what to say to him. I actually never rejected or accepted his rejection. That day was such a nightmare that I didn’t know what to do properly? Before I could have known anything, I was struck with a visit from the counselors. How was supposed to remember all that?
“All this time you told us you have rejected him. But not only did he reject you, but you also didn’t even accept his rejection,” he
screamed at me in front of the others, making me feel guilty for hiding such a huge thing for him.
It was going to get dirty for me now that my own mate thinks I lied.
“Maynard! Just listen to me,” I was chasing after him when he got into his car and ordered me to sit down in the passenger seat, “No! we need to talk first,” I said stubbornly. At first I thought he would just ditch me here and leave, but thankfully he didn’t.
“Then get the fuck inside and we will talk when we are in our room.” he was so angry that it felt like if I denied him one more time, he will leave me here and drive back to the academy for real.
“We need to say goodbye to everyone first,” I spoke while rushing to the passenger seat. I didn’t want to risk being left here.
Once in the car, he didn’t even answer my question and hit the road. The first few minutes were the most awkward for us because he kept puffing air out of his nostrils and I was just looking outside the window.
I didn’t want to piss him off by starting a conversation. Not especially, when we are in a car and he is already driving recklessly.
“I cannot believe this,” he was the one who broke the silence first, “All this time you kept it from me. Do you mind and tell me if there are any more surprises that I should be getting ready for?” he was the only one talking and puffing air out of his nostrils.
