Rejected, My Jaded Love
Episode 57

“I didn’t tell her who my mate was, I just told her that I had found my mate and that I wanted her to get out and I no longer wanted her around me ever again. I also told her that if she didn’t stop that I would banish her, and her family, from my pack. I didn’t want Jade to have Brittany coming to her at school where I can’t protect her, so I told her that I would not have a problem banishing her whole family, so maybe she would think long and hard about it before she does something to get the whole family punished. I don’t know if she will stop or not, she was pretty upset and told me it was not over. But I only want Jade, I never want another woman to be near me. Jade takes my fears away and calms me, she makes me want to be the best man that I can be. I don’t want anything to take her away from me”. I tell Tyler.

Tyler laughs and turns the boat to start another run, “Yea”, he says, “I saw you staring a hole through my sister earlier”

“She’s your sister? I thought your dad only had you and Tate?” I say to him.

I knew they had both looked familiar to me but couldn’t remember their names until I was up thinking about what all had happened yesterday. I couldn’t go to sleep and stayed up an hour thinking about the whole day, and I remembered who they and their father were, as he had told me that hurting Jade would result in war with the Dark Moon pack. I feel so much better knowing that they are siblings. They were so protective of her I thought that they both liked her, like as their chosen mates, and knowing that they are siblings makes me feel a lot better.

“Yes, her mom was going to be my dad’s chosen mate and was living with him at Dark Moon when he met his true mate and my mom, Joy, while he was out of town for an Alpha’s meeting. My mom was the oldest daughter of another pack and was there to learn about taking over the pack from her dad, when she met dad. Dad told Hillary, that is Jade’s mom, that he had found his mate and that she would have to move out of the Alpha suite, but he was going to let her stay in the Pack, but she didn’t want to stay there after dad brought mom to Dark Moon. I was told that Hillary had come back a little over 6 months later and wanted to speak to my dad, but he was out of town on business, and I was a newborn and mom was pregnant with Tate, so dad didn’t want mom to go meet her. The Beta was busy and couldn’t meet with her and Hillary ended up leaving without telling the Guard what she was there for. The Guard later told my dad and the Beta that he could hear someone else in the car, but they never knew who was in the car until your mom, Luna Monica, contacted dad to see if he had known Hillary as she suspected that dad was Jade’s dad too. She was my 18th birthday present; her birthday is the day before mine. I got my sister, who Tate and I have always wanted, on my birthday. She has been the best present ever, it was my best birthday ever”. Tyler told me.

“I didn’t know any of that. How did my mom know that Jade could be your dad’s child?” I asked him.

“Dad is a white wolf, Jade is a white wolf, and I am a white wolf”. Tyler replies. “We will see if Tate is a white wolf in July when he turns 18, but we all believe that he will be as we have already seen some extra abilities in him”.

I am mated to a white wolf. I feel like I need to sit down. I could have destroyed my own pack in my selfishness. Jade would make my pack incredibly strong, and our children could have extra strength and abilities themselves. The Goddess gave me such a huge gift and I almost totally lost it, by being a selfish i***t. There would have been no coming back from this, the Goddess wouldn’t have blessed me again for not loving the gift of a mate that she had originally given me. Jade was incredibly special and in thinking with my little head, had almost cost the pack everything. No wonder my parents were thinking about giving the pack to Dixon. With all that I have done, that would have probably been a better choice than me. I am glad that I fell in love with her with just the mate bond and not because I knew she was a white wolf. That makes me feel a little better. I sit down across from Tyler. I had to sit down; I was completely stunned.

“I see you were not aware that Jade was a white wolf?” Tyler tells me.

I nod at him, unable to make a sentence right now. My mind was all over the place and when it stopped, my fear increased.

“Is that why Eric is after her? Because she is a white wolf? I ask Tyler.

“Yes, he found out, we assume because she is the only wolf that left their pack and a white wolf had been spotted at her old home. Someone visiting saw her as she phased for the first time on the front lawn after she was rejected by Calvin. Nicole and Jessica helped her inside as she was too weak from the rejection and her first phase to get upstairs. When they were going through the living room is when they heard her aunt admit that Jade was not their child, but her niece and that they only took her in because of the life insurance policy. Hillary put a clause in it that they had to raise her if they accepted the money. They were supposed to save half of the money from the 2-million-dollar policy for Jade to live on after she turned 18, but instead Sylvia, that is Jade’s aunt, spent all of it. Sylvia was planning on kicking Jade out of their house because it was her 18th birthday, and Sylvia had spent ALL of the money. So, she lost her home, her family, and the money she was supposed to have received basically all in one day. Nicole called her parents and told them what had happened. Then they all left Howling Wolf pack and came to Stone Moon. You know the rest. I thought you knew this story, why were you not told?” Tyler asks me.

“I was told about the pranks that she had to endure, and that she had been rejected and had then come with my uncle Bryan and aunt Audrey and my cousin Nicole to the pack, but I didn’t hear the rest of it, no wonder everyone was so protective of her. She is a descendant of the Moon Goddess herself, as are you, and your family. Maybe they wanted me to accept Jade as my true mate, without the added knowledge that she was so special. Now that Eric knows, he will stop at nothing to get her. She has to be protected at all times. I am scared for him to get his nasty hands on her. She is pure and innocent, and he doesn’t deserve her”. I tell Tyler.

“Is this the part where you say that you do? That you deserve me?” Jade says as she walks up to stand between us.

“I have loved you from the moment we locked eyes. I would lay down my life for you. We are true mates and yes, I agree with you, even I don’t deserve you” I tell her. “But I will continue to show you every day until you realize it, that I only want to be with you. There is no one else for me in my life that I love and care about and want to be my mate. I am so sorry I didn’t treat you the way that you deserved. You were right, I should have waited on you to come back and accepted you right then, that is what Aries wanted me to do, he wanted me to stay and meet you and claim you. I was the coward who was scared, and jealous of everyone taking your side and not mine, I was drunk, and I didn’t make a good decision. You are exactly right. I messed up big time. I cannot fix what I have already done wrong, I can only sincerely apologize to you and try to make up for it by loving you completely from now on, as my true mate, and my only love”.

Her eyes soften up a little, “I am giving you that chance. I heard what you said to Tyler, I wasn’t asleep. Thank you for kicking Ashley out of your room last night. Yesterday was such a hard day for me, I don’t know what would have happened to me if you had slept with her. The pain would have been immeasurable for me, and I would not have been able to spring back from it. We would have been through before we could even really start because I would have known you were with her. It would have hurt me more because I feel more for you than I ever felt for Calvin, so I hope we can fix our bond, and that I can be able to trust you. I do want you as my mate, I just am having a hard time trusting as everyone in my life from Howling Wolf, has broken that trust. It is hard for me to open up, as that lets people into my heart, and I just don’t know if I could come back from another betrayal”. Jade softly tells me.
