The Rejected Luna's Rise

Ariana

By the time I got home, my wolf had already calmed down. But now more than ever, she wanted the rejection as much as I did.

I had sustained some bruises while running but they were already healing themselves. Since I was already naked, I decided to take a long cool shower before retiring to bed tonight.

Damian was probably not coming home and to be honest, I didn't even want him to either. 

I turned on my playlist and entered the bathroom to shower. I didn't know how long I'd spent in the shower and I didn't seem to care because I felt peace and I was singing my heart out.

The water fell down my body and the cold from it calmed me down in such a way that made me not want to leave the shower.

I kept singing my heart out when I felt warm pair of hands wrapping around my waist. 

"Hey," he greeted, planting soft kisses on my neck making my body tense immediately.

When did he get back and why didn't I hear him come in? Shit, I was still so mad at him and I didn't want to be in this position with him. 

I mean we were both naked under the shower and the bulge of his hard length was already pressing down on my back.

He turned me to face him and began kissing me roughly immediately. I tried so hard to shut my lips but he bit my bottom lip softly and I gasped making him get access.

He pushed his tongue into my mouth and kissed me hard. The kiss was rough and filled with urgency like he couldn't contain his desire.

"Fuck", he gasped breaking the kiss and breathing down my neck.

He traced his hands down my body and when his hands found the heat between my thighs I couldn't help but gasp softly. He was my mate after all, he knew my body better than anyone.

He immediately pushed a finger into my wet core and I threw my head backward, the water still pouring on us. It all felt divine, us like this under the shower, his fingers working magic inside me. 

His tongue found my neck and he began nibbling on it. "Mark me Damian", I moaned out before I could stop myself and he froze, just like he'd always done whenever I slipped up.

I was just about to apologize for it like I had always done when something inside me snapped.

What the hell was I doing letting him touch me in the first place? Was my lust that bigger than his betrayal? And just now when I mistakenly asked him to mark me again he froze just like always.

Of course, he didn't want to claim me or place his mark on me. He had Lily, the one he truly loved and she was back for him with their pup, their family of three was complete.

As if I just regained my senses I pushed him immediately and left the bathroom. I immediately grabbed a robe to wear on my body before he came out.

Shortly after, he came out. "Do you want us to continue in the bedroom? You know it'd have been spicier if we just got to it in the bathroom" he said.

"Why did your fingers freeze inside me when I asked you to mark me?" I asked. I already knew the answer but I couldn't help but ask and I wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Can we not argue about this today?" He asked tiredly like I was some whiny child asking some irrelevant question.

"I'll mark you when the time is right but for now I just want to bend you over and fuck your brains out." He said,  his eyes dark with desire.

If it was before seeing him standing there rock hard and hinting to have sex with me would have me spreading my legs the widest for him but now I felt nothing but disgust.

Had he always seen me as nothing more than a sex tool to satisfy his desires?

"I'm not in the mood. I don't feel like it." I said and he frowned.

"What's wrong? What's been going on with you lately?" He said.

"Maybe you should ask yourself that question," I replied lying on the bed to sleep after I changed into my night gown.

"Come on, don't be like that now," Damian said changing into his drawls. 

"Is it about the anniversary? I tried making it up to you today at dinner and......" he paused to look at me as if suddenly remembering something.

"Where's your bracelet?" He asked and I just shrugged.

So he had noticed? "I don't know, I probably lost it somewhere," I replied casually.

He stood up and handed the bracelet back to me. How did he find it?

"I found this on the floor in the hospital, you must have dropped it when you were visiting your mom." He said, searching my eyes as if to see my reaction.

"I don't want it, throw it away," I replied and he tensed.

"Why? I got this specially for you for our anniversary ...."

"I SAID I DON'T WANT IT YOU LIAR" I screamed, cutting him off. I really couldn't bear any more of his lies. He was hurting me with them and my wolf was suffering because of him.

How dare he sit there and lie to our face as if we were stupid just because we loved him? 

"Don't be like this, if you don't like this one, don't worry I'll buy you whatever you want tomorrow." He tried to hold me but I waved his hand.

"I don't want any more gifts from you, I hate anything you give me. I don't even want you anymore, I don't want anything that's not exclusively mine including you." I screamed, breaking down in tears.

All the anger and resentment I had been holding in burst and I couldn't hold the tears anymore. He looked relieved to finally see me lose my temper and I knew why.

He felt that anytime I was like this it meant I cared and that I still loved him. He tried to kiss me thinking it'd calm me down as usual but I growled my claws coming out as I screamed like a madwoman.

"DON'T TOUCH ME, DON'T YOU GET IT? I DON'T WANT YOU." I screamed loud enough for him to hear as I sobbed uncontrollably.

He tried to calm me down again but his phone started to ring aloud and I immediately knew who it was because he had set a special ring tone for her.

He didn't pick up but he immediately started to dress up and I knew he was no longer going to spend the night.

"We'll talk when you've calmed down. Something came up, pack business." He said as he struggled to reply to her while he dressed up. 

My wolf whimpered softly, shocked that even now our mate was still lying to us. He was going to leave us this way, heartbroken and crying while he ran to the arms of another she-wolf.

"Pack business you say? Go, Damian, you liar, get out. Answer your call. I don't care, just get out." I screamed, pushing him.

"We'll talk tomorrow once you're calm." He said and just walked out like that. 

I slumped on the floor crying. I knew I wasn't supposed to be crying but I couldn't help it.

"Serve him the rejection notice, or better still reject him yourself. Don't wait until his betrayal kills us before you do that." My wolf warned, but I couldn't help but cry.

If only it were that easy. There were too many things at stake. My family still depended on him so I needed to wait until my mother was discharged before I gave him the rejection notice.

And even if I wanted to, I couldn't reject him myself, it wouldn't work for me.....because of the oath...the blood oath.
