My Fated Mate Can Have Her Chapter 1: The Rejection

Violet

I knew he was going to reject .

I had already lived through it once.

Damon stood in front of , his arm wrapped around Elena’s waist. The forest trees swayed silently in the breeze as the moon shone down on us, lighting up the small clearing. The entire pack surrounded us, with most of them hidden between the trees to observe this unfortunate spectacle.

Just like before, he had chosen to humiliate this way.

And within seconds, he repeated the sa words he had uttered in my past life.

"I, Damon Blackthorn, Alpha of the Shadowpine Pack, reject you, Violet, as my mate."

A searing pain ripped through my chest, severing the mate bond between us. I winced and stiffened, trying not to let the pain show. Still, everyone’s perceptive eyes caught my reaction. So pack mbers smiled at my demise.

His dark eyes glinted in the moonlight, a proud smirk on his face as he spread out his other hand towards .

"Did you really think I would accept a asly naless oga as my Luna? You have been a stain in this pack since your birth. Your re presence itself is an insult to my late father’s image. Your own household revoked your family na and rejected you. And you thought you could stand beside ?"

Elena clung to his side, and her hand rested against his chest as fake concern flashed on her face.

"Oh, Damon. Go easy on her, please," she whispered, loud enough for to hear as she looked up at him.

Damon shook his head and sighed, looking back at her. "My dear, you are too kind. But—"

"I understand," I murmured.

My words caused Damon to pause and look at . Elena frowned, her blue eyes shifting to et mine. It was funny how she no longer found this amusing.

I had accepted his rejection in tears. And she had gloated at that mont, her eyes beaming with such joy as I grovelled at their feet. Begging.

I blinked hard, my face slightly twisting in disgust at my past actions. Things were different now. I would not cry. Neither would I beg him like I have once before.

I then composed myself and smiled. "I, Violet, accept your rejection."

The breeze died down. The trees stopped swaying.

It suddenly felt like my insides exploded. Blood trickled down my nose, but the smile remained on my face. I would not give him, or anyone the satisfaction of seeing grovel.

Everyone looked at in shock, Damon frowned. I had accepted easily. Too easily. But wasn’t that what they wanted?

"Congratulations, Alpha Damon," I continued. "I hope she is worth it."

I turned away to leave but Damon broke out laughing. I slowly turned to look at him. He had stepped away from Elena, his hands at his stomach. He wiped the tear from one of his eyes. "Worth it? You were never worth anything. Elena here is by far worth more than both your bond and yourself." He held out his hand to Elena, and she took it, a gloating smile on her lips as she eyed .

"She doesn’t know what she is saying," she chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Just let her go. She should faint soon anyway from the effects of the rejection."

Damon grinned. "You’re not wrong. She will need the rest for soone who will never find another mate."

A tallic taste filled my mouth. I turned away and rushed off, brushing past the wolves that stood in my path. They let pass, and so I had to bump through them to get past. Ignoring the rising pain within , I bit my lip and started running as fast as my strength could take .

My legs burned. My insides burned. My head ached. The sa excruciating pain followed as I raced through the trees, moving past sparse settlents and houses until I arrived at my small ho. The mont I stepped in, I vomited blood on the floor, landing on all fours.

Pain tore at every inch of my body, but sothing else brewed within .

Anger.

His father had shown compassion, letting remain within the pack after my own family had kicked out of their household. And the next thing Damon had done shortly after taking over his father as the Alpha was to call a eting to announce the rejection instead of holding a banquet in his father’s honour.

He despised that much and I never saw it.

My heart shuddered and I laid myself onto the floor, my chest burning.

I had been weak. So miserably pathetic and shaless. I had loved Damon so blindly, even when he had ignored and entertained that woman constantly at his side. The old had hoped our bond would be stronger than the flings he had with her.

Such stupidity.

He rejected and I had begged him not to.

Tomorrow, Damon would banish from the pack. I would run into the forest in sha. My frail body would grow weaker from the rejection, and after weeks of tornt and surviving in the wild, I would eventually die.

It all happened till I woke up to find myself alive again. In the past.

I clenched my jaw and got back on my feet, ignoring the pain that consud my body. I closed my eyes and focused, channeling that pain into a part of myself I had to awaken.

I would not let this new chance go to waste.

I would not die this ti.
