Rejected, My Jaded Love
Episode 33

“That’s IT! Open the gate” my brother Tyler yells out as he changes into his white wolf.

They all pile into their SUV and start backing out as Tyler runs out to chase after their SUV. I go running after him, but he is now returning to the gate, and I see the SUV drive quickly over the hill and leave Dark Moon’s land. I am surprised to see him change back and still be fully clothed.

“How did you do that?” I ask him. “I want to learn how to do that too.”

“Dad showed me how to do this week, we can show you. I thought you would like that. It sure saves on clothing not being torn to shreds” Tyler said and pulls me into a hug. “We have all missed you so much, and I was so scared when you called me and said that you were being followed”

“Yes, he had Tate yelling at me to get moving right now as we all ran to the Jeep. I have never heard Tyler that scared before. Hi, I am Travis Young, I will be the Dual Beta with Tate. My dad is the current Beta for Dark Moon. I have heard a lot about you this week, and I am excited to meet you. Travis was about 6’3” with a broad chest. He had black hair and blue-grey eyes and had a cleft in his chin making him look a little like Superman. He was very handsome with his strong jawline and large biceps.

Tyler steps up between us, looks at Travis, and says “No. Do not even think of hitting on my sister. She has been through enough and isn’t ready for you to be pulling your “Prince Charming” act on her. Not going to happen, this is my sister and unless you end up being her second chance mate, you need to keep your hands, lips and well basically everything of yours away from her”.

Tate steps up and says “Yea, what he said. Leave her alone, you are just extra protection for her. Consider her a no-fly zone. You have not been cleared access”.

I start blushing and I hear my dad and mom start laughing behind us as my brothers straighten Travis out.

I reach my hand out and say, “there is always room for a new friend, but they are right, I won’t get my second chance mate until I accept the rejection from my original mate. But we can always be friends, you can never have too many of those”.

Tate yells out “Shotgun” and runs over to my Jeep laughing. Tyler just rolls his eyes and heads back to their black Jeep with Travis. Mom and dad head back to their SUV and we all head back to the packhouse.

The first impression of the packhouse is amazement, where Stone Moon was modern, the Dark Moon packhouse rose about 10 stories from the ground and was about double the size of the Stone Moon packhouse. The building had clean lines and had a strong and formidable appearance. It gave a quiet sense of strength but didn’t have all the glass and balconies that Stone Moon had. They would have beautiful views from the windows, but they weren’t floor to ceiling like at Stone Moon. I really did like my little balcony. I was planning on using it to layout this summer to try to get a tan.

“What do you think of our packhouse?” Tate asked me.

“It is beautiful and looks like a fortress” I reply.

“Our great-grandfather built it about 100 years ago, it is very strong” Tate replied. “What do you want to do this weekend Jade, we left it open for us to all make plans. What do you want to do?”

“Well,” I tell him as we exit my Jeep and I head to the back of the Jeep to get my purse and duffle bag, “ I need to get some new jeans, so I want to go by Goodwill, and I really need to learn how Tyler did the change to and from his wolf form and not tear his clothes, that would be awesome for me as I am a girl. Oh, and I also want to keep up with my training like we talked about, as I will be sore if I stop for the weekend, and then start up again on Monday morning. I would like to train here too as Tyler said that each pack has different fighting techniques and since this week went a little South, I need to learn to defend myself.” I then turn around as I no longer hear conversations going on behind me and see my family and Travis all looking at me “What? what’s wrong?” I ask.

“What do you mean you need to learn to defend yourself. You have only been at Stone Moon for a week, who is causing you problems?” Tyler asks me.

“You remember that Ashley girl from the Elite warrior training? She told her younger sister that I had you two threaten her and a couple of other incorrect things. So, her sister Brittany told me to watch myself and Brax told me that Ashley was bad news, I am new to training and I don’t want to have to, but if it comes down to me getting beaten up and me defending myself, I am going to defend myself”. I told them.

“Ok, so tonight after dinner I want you to show me what Brax has trained you on, and we can add some of our techniques to it. They will be from our pack, so Ashley won’t know them. What a b***h telling the story backward, that girl Ashley totally lied about the whole thing. You didn’t tell us to do anything, we saw her character come out, and decided ourselves that we didn’t want to be around her”. Tyler says.

“Tomorrow morning at 6 am you can come to our training, both basic and Elite, then we can shower and go into town to shop a little, and I would only do that for you, sis, because I love you, and I hate to shop. You know you can call us; we would have come down to help you”. Tate says to me.

“I won’t be long I just need 3 pairs of jeans because I am down another size, and I need my pants to stay up. It will be a quick trip. I will pick up two new belts too for when I get to a size 10. I am in a 12 now and when I lose more, it will help to hold them tighter.” I tell them. I glance over at Travis because I am still embarrassed about my weight, but he is nodding in approval, and that makes me feel a little better for not getting judged on my weight.

“I could tell that you had lost even more weight honey, you are doing a great job. I know it is important to you, so I got in touch with Brax and asked him to send me what you had been eating so you can stick to your plan here too. I want you to be comfortable and happy here. I passed it on to the chef for him to make sure you had some options for both food and snacks in the fridges, and they are marked with your name so they will be easy to find. There will also be salads in there, Nicole told me your favorite one to eat and your favorite fruits and veggies and the chef even whipped up a light dressing for you to try. He said if you liked it, he would send some back with you in a cooler along with the instructions so the chef at Stone Moon could make it” Mom finished speaking and I can’t believe how much thought she put into me coming to visit. I go over to her and give her a big hug.

“You didn’t have to go through all that trouble for me, but you doing it shows how loved and welcomed I am to your pack. So, thank you so much for doing this for me. I want to lose all my extra weight and THEN go pack to Howling Wolf pack and accept Calvin’s rejection. I think that it would make me happiest to let him know that rejecting me is HIS loss, and I hope I look good enough to make him suffer a little bit over it. He didn’t even try to talk to me before rejecting me, and I hope he is happy with his life with Sophia. He made that choice for himself, and he chose her, he deserves to keep her for the rest of his life. Sophia is a truly horrible person, his life with her will be punishment enough”.
