Chapter 344
He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. “‘Is’ would be correct. She chose differently and
rejected me, but not without making sure that I felt the pain of her being with someone else.”
“Oh sh*t! That’s awful. Why would she do that?”
“Because the person she chose decided that I needed to be put in my place. He was the Beta of my
pack before it was attacked. I was an Omega training to be a warrior, but to him my rank made me
unworthy and she believed him. He was just as power hungry as the Elders, I wouldn’t be surprised
if he had something to do with our pack getting attacked. Anyway, she chose him and rejected me,
but I wasn’t allowed to accept it. I had the pain of the rejection and then the pain of feeling them
being together, Every. Single. Time. I can still feel it, so I know she’s still alive. So like you figured
out I do not have a high opinion of fated mates,neither do Mike or Robbie. Their stories are different
from mine, but we aren’t fans. I don’t have anything against the Moon Goddess making us stronger
through our mates, but I do have a problem with mates still having the choice to reject without any
good reason. She wanted to hurt me and even if you don’t love your mate you shouldn’t have the
desire to harm them on purpose.”
Our food comes which gives us a break from the deep discussion. Neither of us really look up from
our food, but don’t eat with the same gusto as the first time we were here together.
“Tyler, I’m sorry she did that to you.” I set my fork down and look right at him. “She doesn’t deserve
you if she couldn’t see the kind of guy you are and appreciate it.” I can at least understand him a bit
better. I don’t know what I would do if my mate rejected me.
“Maybe she was right. Maybe she knew me better than I knew myself. She knew what kind of
person I would become.”
“Stop! Don’t do that. You don’t know what was going through her head at the time. Maybe she was
being held against her will and forced to reject you. You never know and you can’t ask her about it
right now.” I really don’t enjoy comforting him, when I think he is a coward for the way that he
treated me over a birthday gift. “I have to go to class, but I have been doing an evening jog around
campus after classes if you want to join me. Just text me.” I got up to leave and he called me back.
“Sky, thanks for this. You really are going to be a great Luna someday.”
“You keep saying that, but have no idea if my mate will be an Alpha or not.”
“I do know, I just hope we can still be friends after you find your mate.”
“You’re asking to stay friends with me after I find my mate even though you threw a tantrum about
the exact same thing a month ago and we weren’t even a thing.” I cocked an eyebrow up and his
cheeks turned a shade of pink.
“That is exactly right and if your Alpha loses his temper about it all I have to say is I knew her first.”
He winks at me and gives me that charming panty melting smile of his and I just shake my head
and walk away.
