Chapter 8: Rejection…

Lyla

My head was still reeling from the near-death experience of having one of the most shattering orgasms I’ve ever had while a small smile played on my lips.

Alpha Ramsey was my mate… fated to me by the Moon Goddess… finally, I wouldn’t have to bother about my damning heat cycles… I had a mate now… and he wanted me as much as I wanted him too.

I clung to him, my heart swelling with the hope that he was on the same page as me.

No wonder he had come for me.

I felt him pull away from me, disentangling himself without a word.

I watched him with a satisfied smile as he rose to his feet, and reached for his discarded clothes that was when I snapped back to reality.

Why was he leaving already? Aren’t we supposed to cuddle and at least talk about what has just happened?

“You’re leaving?” I asked, my voice filled with disappointment.

He ignored me – instead, his expression hardened, turning cold as he adjusted his clothes.

He didn’t look at me, didn’t say a word as he fastened his belt and straightened his shirt.

I felt the warmth of our shared moment evaporating, replaced by the mask of indifference he had on now.

“Ramsey…” I whimpered hating the way my voice felt so small like a kitten’s.

He finally turned to me, a bored expression on his face.

“Get dressed,” he said curtly, “And leave ten minutes after I do.

Just make sure you’re not seen.

I blinked, confusion and hurt washing over me, my eyes widening in shock.

“What? Ramsey… we just…”

“Alpha Ramsey!” he growled coldly “Stop calling me Ramsey… I am your leader!”

I bit the insides of my cheeks, trying to stop myself from crying.

“Is that it?” I asked, struggling to understand.

“After everything that just happened… you’re just going to walk away?”

“It was nothing,” he cut me off, his tone harsh.

“Just instinct, nothing more.

You were in heat, and I… I lost control…” he turned his back to me, adjusting his collar “But this doesn’t change anything.

I scrambled to my feet, grabbing my clothes with trembling hands.

“You said… you called me your mate.

You marked me,” I stammered pointing at his mark on my neck that was still fresh and sore.

“I heard you, twice! Alpha… you can’t just pretend this didn’t happen.
