I am sitting in the library with my best friend, Anna, and a few of our Course-mates as we reversed on some topics for the last exam of the semester. I was silent, not altering a word for my mind was occupied with the dream I had last night-I wouldn’t exactly call it a dream, more like a memory mocking me. The words that broke my heart into a million pieces still fresh and replaying itself like a broken record in my head.
“You’re a psycho Celeste, I can’t be mated to you. You’re fat and disgusting. You are not fit for a Luna.”
“Andrew, wh-what are you sa-saying?” I asked my mate, my voice cracked and tears streamed from my eyes. I knew what was to come, he was going to reject me. The disgust and hatred he held for me clearly showing in his eyes.
“I, Andrew Walter, soon to be alpha of crest fall pack reject you Celeste Sampson as my mate and future Luna to the crest fall pack.”
My eyes, glistered with tears and my eyes stings from trying to keep them in. I took in a deep breath and blinked rapidly to keep the tears from falling.
I look at my left to where Anna was seated and saw her giving me a concerned look, I could tell she was about to ask me what was wrong and I shook my head telling her that I was okay. I knew she didn’t believe me but I was also glad that she didn’t push it.
Instead of thinking of my ex-mate Andrew, I decided to focus my attention back on my studies.
When I got to my dorm later that evening, I collapsed down onto my bed and stared up at my ceiling. I reached for my phone that was in my bag and saw seven missed calls from my mother.
“Shit” I cussed under my breath. I shook my head already knowing why she was calling.
My fingers, gingerly hooked over mom’s name and I quickly clicked on the call button before I have time to back out. Placing the phone to my ear, I listen to it ring and ring before she picked it.
“Hi, mom,” I breathed out. “How are you doing?”
“Celeste!” Mom’s voice said loudly making me take the phone from my ear before she damaged my eardrums.
“I have been calling your phone for hours.”
“I was busy with college, mom” I told her using my right hand to take my hair out of it’s bun.
“Yeah, yeah.” She said. I could tell she was rolling her eye at what I said.
“So, I and your dad was hoping if you could come home for Christmas this year.” Mom asked.
She has been asking me every Christmas for the past three years to come home but she knows I can’t. I close my eyes using my hand to rub my temple. I couldn’t deal with this.
“I can’t mom,” I gritted out trying my best to not lash out. She knew I couldn’t go back to crest fall especially with Andrew been the new Alpha of my old pack.
After Andrew rejected me as his mate, I moved to New York after high school and tried starting a new life. I am currently at my last year in New York University and studying to become a phycologist.
“Oh come on Celeste!” Mom shouted, “We haven’t seen you in three years, We miss you sweetie.”
I closed my eyes tightly and puffed out a breath. Andrew shouldn’t be the reason why I shouldn’t see my family. He moved on and I should too.
“Okay, I’ll be home this Christmas mom.” I told her. I couldn’t let my jack ass of a mate ruin me and plus, I had to accept his rejection to stop the pain feel whenever he fucks another female.
I heard her gasp into the phone. “That’s wonderful baby! See you in a week.”
“Okay mom” I replied a big smile forming in my face from her enthusiasm.
“Love you baby” Mom said.
Before I could reply, the call beep signaling that she has hung up. Slamming the phone on my bed, I got up and decided to run a little to blow off some steam. I put on my running gears and walked out my dorm room meeting Anna at the other side about to open the door.
