Chapter 8 Rejecting Her

LILITH’S POV

The moment I entered in to his room, his tall and handsome figure caught my eyes. I flinched at the thudding sound but remained unbothered as it didn’t let me get affected by his charm and our mate bond. Right now I was not in mood to listen to Irene even and damn to the mate bond.

Noah rushed to give explanation to him and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes, but when he said that I am Luna and don’t need permission a bitter chuckle left my mouth and instantly gain his attention. It was the right time to demand the answers from him before my heart melts down.

‘Luna? Who is Luna here Alpha Caleb?’ I asked him and saw him giving me a blank look. What an act he was playing. My blood was about to get into fumes because it was boiling all the way I came to his office from the ground floor.

‘Answer me Caleb!’ my teeth clenched, I know I was bad in controlling my rage. In my old pack, the bullying, hatred and disgusting stares always makes me angry and I do not have any power to shout at them or warn them of consequences so I always sneak in to the gym of our pack that was very close to our pack house and always do punches on punching bag until my rage subsides.

Right now I just hope that I don’t assume Caleb as my punching bag. He opened his eyes and motioned for me to sit on the chair.

‘Noah, go and arrange the room for her’ my eyes popped. We won’t share the room? Aren’t mates supposed to share the room? I asked from Irene but I know she was ashamed of her own claim that she always made to me about our mate and hence now has zipped her lips, for once I was glad on her silence. At least Caleb’s wolf had accepted Irene, I was happy for her but my own life was now hanging as a question mark.

‘I am sorry Lilith’ he sat opposite to me dragging the chair, we both were now looking at each other’s face.

‘Is it true that you don’t accept me as your mate?’ I asked from him, and he shook his head. A bud of happiness grows in my heart.

‘If I had to reject you, your pack was the best place to do that’ he said, I lowered my face. He was right, if he had to do that he would have done that immediately when my father asked him to.

‘But Irene said that Kaden’ he stopped me and continued.

‘Yes, what Irene and Kaden said is true. I don’t reject you doesn’t mean I accept our mate bond. You are the Luna of this pack and my pack members needs their Luna and since you have Alpha blood I am sure you will fulfill all your responsibilities very well.’ My heart drops.

‘What do you mean you don’t accept our mate bond?’ there were so many questions in my mind and I want the answers of all of them. I was rejected by my parents, my pack and now by my own mate too? It was too much.

‘We will not mate Lilith. You will be marked but nothing else. We will not get intimate, nor will share the room. Other than packs matter we will not talk anything extra’ my heart shattered.

‘Isn’t this better to reject me then? It will only give pain to both of us, opposing the mate bond.’ I said to him. My eyes started to burn and the pain in my heart was getting high, but I will not move until get the answers of my questions.

‘I am sorry I will not do that. It will not be wise to go against the fate specially when all the packs are in chaos thanks to the rogues who are getting stronger day by day’ I closed my eyes to hide the pain that has now reached to my face. The water pooled in my eyes wanted to roll down on my cheeks but it will enhance his arrogance and this is the last thing I would want.

‘Right. We should not go against the fate’ I nodded my head, whsipering back his words, if it wasn’t happening with me right now and was with someone else I would have definitely given a good lecture to this man who was playing stupid tricks with me thinking I am the fool.

‘Can I ask you the reason for not giving chance to our relation? I mean not going for the mating’ my eyes were locked to his face reading the expressions that were coming back and forth on his face after I asked from him. I hope that what I am thinking is not the reason of doing that.

‘You are the daughter of Oberon Thornton, the killer of my father. I can never extend my relation or have my pups from the daughter of my enemy’ A tear betrayed and escapes from the corner of my eyes and fall on the cheek, so that was the reason he did not want to complete our bond. The pain in my heart soared, he did not give the chance to me or tried to understand me knows me and just made the decision because I was the daughter of his father's killer.

‘Just this or there is another reason too?’ I whispered, right now I was losing all my strength and my whole body was starting to ache with shivering inwardly, he was rejecting me as his mate but not as Luna of his pack. What a selfish jerk my mate is, I wish I can laugh loudly at myself and pity on my life for once.

He pressed his lips tightly, as if debating on whether he should tell me or not. Seriously? He is trying to be considerate when the damage has already been done.

‘Tell me Alpha Caleb, I have a right to know why my mate does not want me as his mate’ I encouraged him to tell me, hiding my pain and sorrow from him. I always learned that mate bond makes you to feel each other’s pain and whatever emotions that one goes through, his or her mate always finds it out. There is no secrets between the mates but here my mate was sitting peacefully breaking my heart with stones he had thrown on me and has no idea what destruction he is causing inside me.

‘No there is no other reason’ he opened his mouth to say but then again pressed them shut, maybe changing his mind and later he denied of any other reason. I nodded my head and stood up to leave his room.

‘Noah is waiting for you outside; he will guide you to your room’ I bit the corner of my lower lip, I was on the verge of crying but I will not do that in front of any of them. I need my room for that and without giving him any response I opened the door to find Noah standing at the right corner of the wall, waiting for me.
