Hating my mate

rant.

”I am going out. Continue without me. I will be fine, ” I respond while opening the car door.

”What? Where are you going? ”

”To talk to her, ” I respond while getting out of the car.

”Who? ” he asks impatiently.

”My mate, ” I respond and close the door, leaving Jordan wearing a puzzled expression.

I even smartly towards the restaurant. I can feel Jordans eager eyes on me the whole time. I don blame him for wanting to know who she is.

Arya turns her head when I come closer. Her eyes grow impossibly wide when she sees me. Her friend continues talking until she realizes that Aryas attention is somewhere else. She also looks at me with shock. Her shock melts into a smug smirk.

”Hi, girls, ” I say after wondering what the hell to say.

”Oh, hi there, ” the blonde responds with enthusiasm. Arya does not respond. I ignore her coldness.

”Arya, you don seem pleased to see me. I am interrupting something important? ” I inquire. She rolls her eyes and sighs loudly. She holds on to her tiny purse and squares her shoulders.

”Yes, and we were going, ” she replies and then holds her friends hand, who seems unwilling to go.

”I am requesting only a few minutes of your time, Arya, ” I tell her.

”Okay, go on, ” she beckons me. I glance at her friend who is trying to catch up with whats happening.

”Um, I will excuse myself for a sec, ” she mumbles and tries to disentangle herself from Aryas hold. Arya folds her hands in front of her chest.

”You have only five minutes, ” she tells me.

”You don have to be so rude to me, Arya. I already get that you hate me, ” I tell her. Her eyes narrow at me. ”Can we go inside? ” I ask, waving to the restaurant.

”No, we just got out of there and you now have only four minutes, ” she responds flatly.

”Will you please give me the proper treatment? I am your mate, goddamn it! ” I look grimly at her.

”No, you are not, ” she insists.

”Yes, I am because you have not yet rejected me. You are still hesitant. Why? ” I inquire.

”I, Arya Lowell of the Blue Blood pack, hereby reject_ ” I immediately cover her mouth with mine and she fights to break free. A shiver runs through my body and my wolfs coils sadly. I kiss her lips but she refuses to open up her mouth for me. I then realize we are in public so I let her go.

”Why did you stop me? ” she asks, rubbing the back of her hand on her lips.

”You can do that to me, Arya. I have the right to have my mate, ” I tell her.

”If I reject you, the moon goddess will have pity and give you another mate. One who will adore you and bend to all your wishes. I am not the one for you, Logan. I don want you, ” her words are like a knife stirring in my heart. My wolf starts to whimper. I lick my lips and look around the busy city, everyone going about their business, not minding the alpha that is being rejected by his mate.

”Then who do you want? ” I ask.

”Anyone who is not you, ” she replies immediately.

”Anyone? ”

”Yes. ”

”You can be serious. ”

”You are the worst person I have ever known. Your father killed my parents, ” her voice is full of spite. ”I hate you and your entire pack! ” Her voice starts to break like she is on the verge of crying.

”I am not the one who killed them. I was still a senseless child when all of that happened. You can blame me for my fathers mistakes. I am not my father, ” I try to defend myself.

”It doesn matter. You are all the same! You are all egoistic, greedy, and heartless! ” she yells at me. A tear escapes her eyes and I ball my fist not to reach out my hand to wipe it away. I have never felt so defenseless in my life. I hate how weak I am feeling right now.

”You haven even given me a chance to prove myself. You have only charged me for what I am not and you are trying so hard to make it look true in your eyes. Maybe you will want to get to know who I am before you regret letting me go, ” I tell her.

”Meet me at the Tower hotel at seven. I will be there waiting for you if you are willing to know, ” I say, and then turn to leave before she says something abhorring.
