Chapter 12

Mason POV:

It was really amazing to wake up with a feeling I was feeling now, Not. Last night my wolf was angry with me and retreated back in my mind. And I was feeling down. Well my mood is not changed but my wolf seems to be quite restless. He told me to hurry downstairs. But I took my time which took 5 min at the most.

Screeching that is what I heard the first thing. Even my wolf covered its ear, I don't know if it will help anyway cause damages to my eardrums were already done. And that was not the end. It was followed by a very nasal voive saying "You suck!" which I recognized as Roxy's.

The slut of the pack but I never associated myself with her. but what made my heart come out of my ribcage was the very calm voice of my mate saying ,

"And obviously you swallow" my eyes threatened to bulge out of my head and roll on the floor.

I entered the room and took in the scene. Roxy was standing with her back to the door through which I entered .

My Ella was standing a few feet away from her and Leo was standing beside her with an amusing yet respective look and a shit-eating grin on his face.

I too couldn't help the massive grin that came on my face. She just stood up like that . She was flushed, not sure if it was because of anger or embarassed.

Roxy must have sensed my presence cause she quickly straightened her posture. After all I am their Alpha. My powerful aura could be felt by every pack members.

Ella saw me and again flushed a deep red from neck up and was very focused on looking at the floor. It was cute and amusing. But I was brought to reality when Roxy dragged her hands along my arm. I felt disgusted. I growled and she quickly jumped back.

"I am your Alpha and if you ever forget how to behave with me , believe me when I say that I will teach you in the best way that even if you think about coming near me you will cry".

She shuddered and ran into the house. I turned to look at Ella. My heart dropped when I remembered that I have to reject her.

"That was awesome! It was time that someone showed her her damn place. I knew you would make a great Luna".

"Wait ...WHATT"

No that was not me . Even I couldn't help but agree with Leo. But I just can't drag one more person down with me.

" Can you come with me ? I need to talk to you" I directed the question to Ella.

"Aren't we going to see Wenda?"

"Well that was what I was thinking of speaking with you. "

She looked confused

"I can't take you with me."

She didn't even let me finish the sentence ," I thought we covered this yesterday. I am coming because it is my life. And yours too. There is no point in arguing with me ."

"I am going to reject you."

She paled like all the blood from her face drained and her eyes,.. they were immediately filled with tears. I am sure she didn't completely get it but could understand the gist.

"You are the dumbest person I have ever seen. You are my Alpha but you are also my bestfriend so I can't just stand here let you do something as stupid as this".

I even forgot this dumbass was here. I started to point out my reasons when Leo overtook again,

" No Mason, whatever the reasons maybe it is the stupidest shit I've ever heard from you. How can you let your mate go. She is everything you wished for, if not more. Yes you are afraid I get it. But so am I, but I'll never let go of my soulmate just because I am afraid. "

I lost my shit,

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!! I CAN'T LOSE HER TOO"

"I know."

I shook my head,

"You really don't. My parents are dead because of me. The pack is always threatened because of me. I can't drag another person I lo-- like into this mess. And Leo you will do the exact same thing if you were in my situation. No , don't even try to argue with me on that. "

Then I turned to look at her and continued,

"Yes Ella , I love you very much but I cannot be selfish in this even if it is my heart's desire to be selfish if it meant you were with me. But I cannot. I hope you can forget and move on with your life."

I heard a soft gasp, I looked up and then I remembered my slip. But I couldn't care less. I am going to reject her. Even if it is cruel and selfish I just want her to know that even if it was a slip. There were tears on her cheeks and her entire face was very red. I guess this is it,

"I love you Ella. I know we don't know each other that long. But know this , I have always loved you from the first day I met. And don't think I'll ever forgive myself if something happened to you. So I have to reject you."

There tears on my eyes so I bowed my head so they wouldn't see. I usually don't show anybody my emotional side. I am their leader and I am supposed to look tough and untouchable and without any emotions at least not showcasing it on my face.

I paused , even though I was the one who wanted to reject her, I couldn't. I had to do it and when I gathered enough courage and looked up, I didn't even get the time to process what was happening before her lips were on mine.
