(Michael's POV)

Alex had been sleeping all day, I went and checked on her a while ago but she was still sleeping. So I did what needed to be done. Daniel led training today. Ashley kept trying to talk to me but I avoided her. Something was up... today every time I looked at her I felt angry. Where was the love I had felt for her once? Where was the butterflies in my stomach every time I saw her? They were gone. In its place was revulsion. I was a walking around the pack house when I heard it. Moaning...?

I walked to the other side expecting to see someone hurt. I felt a slight pang in my chest. Instead I saw Ashley up against the wall and some pack member had his dick buried in her.

All I saw was red. My wolf went crazy I felt him get angry. Ashley's head lolled to the side as she moaned in pleasure. That sound alone disgusted me. I fought for control of my wolf but a growl escaped my throat. Ashley's head snapped in my direction and they stopped what they were doing.

Fear crossed her face.

"M-mike." She stuttered out.

"What the fuck is this?!" At this point I had given up trying to control him. I let him have control. I watched as he beat the shit out of fuck face. In the back Ashley was trying to calm me down.

I said. I was calm and I think that's how I got control back. I looked at Ashley. Tears were streaming down her face. She looked broken.

"M-Mike?" She said. It should have broken my heart to see such a sight. Key word have.

"I have nothing to say to you right now." I said with a blank expression. I turned to walk away but she had grabbed my hand.

"Baby-"

"Baby?! Seriously?" I said in disbelief.

"Can't we just talk about this?" She said desperately.

"Fine let's talk." I said.

"It's not what you think." She stated.

"Not what I think?! How would you even know what I think?!" I yelled. "I just saw my MATE being fucked by some fuck boy wanna be. My mate who is supposed to be loyal to me. My mate who is supposed to love me unconditionally."

"He-he..."

"And you know what's even worse? Is you don't even have a decent excuse. The only excuse you have is your a sex addict. Look Ashley your a great looking girl and you could have any man you want..." I said tiredly. "But I don't."

"You d-don't what?"

"When I look at you... I feel nothing."

"Baby we can make this work please d-don't do this."

"Ashley! I don't want to do this... I just want someone to love me. And you clearly don't."

She fell to the floor, sobs erupted from her chest. I wanted to kiss those lips once. So I did. I picked her up and kissed her. The kiss wasn't anything like kissing Alex. When I was kissing Alex I felt alive and it was like every nerve in my body was singing. But kissing Ashley was different. She was insecure. She had soft lips... I didn't feel anything.

I pulled away. She opened her eyes and smiled at me, but I didn't smile back. Alex had asked me not to do this...

"I'm sorry Ashley. But I can't be with you... I Beta Micheal Pierre Le Roux reject you Ashley Christine Sampson as my mate." I watched as her face crumpled.

"I- I can't do that. I can't accept it..."

"Yes you can Ashley" I sighed.

"I A -Ashley C-C-C-Christine Samps-son accept your re-rejection." She sobbed out. I felt the remainder of the bond break. I saw her crumple to the floor and I walked away.

I saw Daniel on the far side with Jessie and Margo so I went there too. I didn't say anything, I couldn't. Daniel just looked at me. He didn't open the link. He didn't need to. He nodded solemnly at me.

We were sitting in the cabin a short while later. Alex had finally woken up. She was avoiding us all. Especially me. She had been cooped up in her room all day. I wanted to see her, tell her what happened. But a knock sounded through the room.

"I'll go get it." Margo said.

As she walked off Jessie gave me an odd look. I loved Jessie. She was my sister. Through thick and thin we had always been together.

"What's wrong?" She asked

"Don't worry about it sessie." I replied. Calling her by her old nickname.

Margo walked into the room with Jack behind her. He looked like he had been crying. He locked eyes with me.

"It's Ashley." He rasped out. Dread pooled in the pit of my stomach.

"She's killed her self.

(Alexandra's POV)

We were having the memorial for Ashley today. Tom had come all the way out here. I avoided Michael like the plague. Jack kept trying to talk to me but I didn't know what to say.

~

I replied.

did I? At one point I thought I did.. but now... I wasn't so sure.

I looked around for Jack. I saw him talking with Ashley's parents. Is now really the most ideal time? Now or later I suppose.

I walked up to him slowly.

"Jack we need to talk..." I said to him.

"Oh? Sure." And we walked off.

We walked a little ways into the woods. Until we were in a clearing, I admired him. He was wearing a suit and tie, his dark hair stood out against his pale skin, and his eyes shone brightly. Today I was wearing an all black dress that reached just above my knees. My black hair was flowing down my back. I had him sit on a log.

"I want you to sit down and listen to me."

"Ok...?" He trailed off confused.

And so with that I proceeded to tell him everything. I told him who I was, I showed him my wings, I told him about my sisters, I told him about how Adelphi was banished. And the I told him about Michael. He sat through it all. After I was done he just stared at me.

"Your not... your not my real mate?" He stuttered.

"I guess not."

"How is that even possible?"

"I don't know..." I trailed off.

"So what do we do?"

"I think... I think we have to reject each other..."

"You think?" He said curiously. "It felt so real to me."

"To me as well."

"Alright! Let's do this." A single tear fell down my face. Jack saw it and wiped it away.

"Don't cry darling. This is for the best. You'll be with your love and I'll finally meet mine!" He seemed happy yet sad at the same time.

I smiled warmly.

"I Alpha Jack Blake Greyson reject you Alexandra Schuyler Black as my mate."

"I Alexandra Schuyler Black accept your rejection." I felt the bond break in my chest and I knew it was no more.

"No hard feelings?" I said to him.

"No hard feelings. I wonder what she'll be like?! I've given up my fuck boy ways."

"Promise me you'll be loyal to her?"

"Of course!"

Just then we heard a sound. It was the sound of the alarms going off. We raced to the ceremony to see a full out battle going down. The shadow creature standing side by side with rouges. And in the middle of all this was Troy.

It seems my sister wants to play.
