《My Rejected Mate》6

Edit-ish???
-Cassie's POV-
I was waiting for Elliot downstairs as he got ready. I was sitting on the couch looking up at the ceiling. One thought just ran through my head, this is weird like super weird. Like think about it, we are being very civil right now. Maybe I got tired of hating him and just gave up. I won't say we're friends but we aren't strangers either.
"You ready?" His head appeared above me and I straightened myself up.
"Yes I'm ready let's go my big servant." I said.
"Your servant?" Elliot stood there in shock.
"Yes now let's go!" I pointed to the front door like we're going on an adventure.
As we neared the car he took the car keys from my hand and went to the driver seat. Wow he really is playing up to this servant role really well. I'm kind of proud of him right now. We got into the car and I told him to drive into town.
The car ride to say the less was quiet, we didn't talk at all. Which I didn't mind, I mean what would we talk about? I doubt we have anything in common besides the shared feeling of annoyance. Me and him live in two different worlds, as cliche that it sounds it's true.
He parked the car and I went to the cart area to grab one. I got out the grocery list and just let out a big sigh, there's so much she wants me to buy. Well it's her money, still though this is going to be a cart full of stuff. Good things I bought the ice packs in the car to keep everything cool.
"What is your mom raising to have this big of a grocery list?" Elliot asked as he peered down at the paper.
"Two teenage boys, and a husband who eats like 4 plates." I snorted.
"I feel bad for her." He commented.
"Don't we all?" I said.
First section the fresh produce area. I instructed him to grab some things while I went to another area to grab out necessities. It was a rather smooth grocery shopping, there was a moment of time where we did bicker about orange juice or apple juice. Childish I know but it was something that needed to be discussed about. We headed to the registers and started to unload. The cashier lady gave us bright smiles and we returned one towards her.
"So how long have you guys been together?" She asked with adoring eyes and I just froze. Us. A couple?
I have to laugh.
"Oh we aren't a couple, he's my servant for the day." I pointed towards him.
"I am a human being you know that right?" Elliot snorted.
"At times you are, other times you aren't." I smiled at him.
"Aw aren't you two just cute bickering!" Is she dense? There's literally no romantic feelings between us. Even a baby could probably pick it up that we don't.
"Ha ha right." I laughed awkwardly and paid for the groceries. I gave Elliot a look to hurry up and put everything in the cart before she tries to instigate us further. Let me tell you, I've never seen a cart loaded up quick until today.
We practically ran out of the grocery store to the car with an awkward air around us. Hell we didn't even mutter a thing between us. I just helped him put the groceries into the trunk and we sat in the car unmoving.

"So...where to next?" He asked.
"You want to get ice cream?" I think ice cream is a great way to solve problems don't you think. I mean if you hate ice cream you automatically become my enemies. Unless you're lactose intolerant then I'll give you a pass.
"Sure." There was a ice cream place near the grocery store. A cute small little parlor that had a 50's theme to it. Very cute and honestly such a good marketing strategy. Gives off a nice lively vibe and makes you feel like you're going in time for a moment.
I went very basic and got chocolate with some sprinkles mixed into it. He got mint chocolate ice cream, I would judge him but I will keep my humble opinion to myself. We sat in the parlor quietly, I was staring out the window. No words, nothing at all. Should I try to even start a conversation with him? Like I said what would we exactly talk about?
"This is weird."
"I know."
"After this let's just head back to my house"
"Yeah good idea."
-Later-
I was sitting upside down on the couch as I watched some TV. It wasn't really a good idea considering all the blood was rushing to my head, frankly though I was too lazy to ,love from my spot so it's a win/lose situation either way.
The front door was thrown open and walked in the twin devils. They had devious smiles on their faces as they noticed me on the couch. They walked up to me and sat besides me and I got up fearing for what they were about to do.
"Our dear little sister, oh how we miss you!" Toby threw his shoulder around mines and I quirked an eyebrow. Something is up.
"So Cassie, we have to start wearing uniforms now. Isn't that great?!" Jay said as he nudged me with his elbow. I knew they were having talks about it since over the summer and I guess they finally implemented it. Even though it's quite late. I'm telling you this school is weird.
"Sure I guess? Why are you excited for this for? They're just school uniforms?" I questioned them and both of them had this sneaky little look in their eyes.
"Cause some girls look hot in uniforms." Jay sighed out dreamily and I was immediately disgusted.
"You pervert. I hope you get socked in the face." I pushed him away from me and he just smiled at me.
I noticed that they started sniffing the air and even sniffing me. I sat there stiffly, why are they sniffing me for? I know I don't smell I take 2 showers a day! Both of their heads tilted to the side confused as they stared at me.
"Why is Elliot's scent on you, in fact it's everywhere? But it's like really strong on you?" Toby asked me confused. My eyes widen slightly and I laughed out.
"Oh we had a project to work on that's why, I invited him over yesterday to work on it." I lied. If they find out he slept over, while he's drunk not only that but wore their clothes he would be dead. Well I would be dead more so not him.
"I see, still did he rub his scent on you or something? It's so pungent." Jay scrunched up his nose and scooted away from me.
"Is his scent that strong on me?" I even sniffed myself and I couldn't tell at all.

"Yes now go take a shower again, it's annoying me." Jay shooed me away and I rolled my eyes. What kind of brothers are they? I scoffed and got off the couch to take a shower again. Little pest they should turn off their sensory or something.
*****
I stared at myself in the uniform, I can't believe I actually have to wear this. What did I do to deserve this, I go by the dress code. All I do is wear hoodies and pants. I did my part. I fixed the tie around my neck and tucked in my shirt into my pants.
I went downstairs to see Jay and Toby absolutely loving their uniform. Even had the schools blazer on full display, it's pretty much a suit of course they would like it. Not only that they know they look good in it, that's why they're so cocky about it.
"You guys are...unbearably annoying." I pointed out.
"And you look stupid wearing the boys uniform." Toby snorted.
"Well how else will I get to school without flashing?" I pointed out.
"You could've just ride with us." Jay said as if it was the most obvious thing and I rolled m eyes.
"No I rather die, plus it said nothing that girls only needed to wear the skirt. I looked at the schools website. " I said and grabbed my helmet. I went to my motorcycle and started my journey to the school.
I admit I do look ridiculous because I'm pretty sure majority of the girls will be wearing the skirt, but I'm thinking logically. There's a lot of perverts like my brother or what if their is a rogue attack fighting in a skirt would be uncomfortable for me. I also hate skirts so I have my reasons. With the being said,
When I did arrive I just see groups of people in uniforms. Wow we just look so united right now, one student body. I parked peaches and got off heading into the school. As I expected, all the girls were wearing skirts and I was the oddball out. I was getting stares, maybe some of them didn't know you can find a loophole through this situation.
I arrived at my locker and put my things away. I don't know about you, but I was really getting stared at. I had a feeling a certain people expected me to actually wear a skirt. I fixed my blazer and closed my locker heading to my English class. When I got there Elliot was already in his seat. His was looking straight up at the ceiling as he was leaning back into his chair.
I walked up to my seat and sat down. There was movement next to me and I glanced to see Elliot looking down at my pants. He had one eyebrow raised and I snapped my fingers to get his attention on my face not my legs.
"Were you expecting to see me in a skirt?" I asked him.
"No I had a feeling you would pull something like this." Elliot said.
"Oh so you knew?" I laughed out.
"I'm quite observant." Elliot shrugged his shoulders as he rested his chin on the palm of his hands. Observant? Just in general is talking about or is he talking about me?
"Aw she didn't wear a skirt!" Thomas popped out of nowhere with a disappointed look. Jamie looked down and clicked his tongue.
"You two are ridiculous, you know that right?" I said with a disgusted look.
"The two of us just thought you would look good in a skirt. Right Elliot?" Thomas and Jamie looked at him like some puppy waiting for their mother to answer them.
"Any girl would relatively look good in a skirt, even her." Elliot pointed towards me and I don't know if I should take that as compliment or not.
"Even me?" Veronica asked, Jenny was right behind her with a sweet smile on her face.
"Thus the devil arrives." I clapped my hands together and Veronica gave me a dirty look. Her eyes landed on my uniform and she crossed her arms over chest.
"What's this? Are you playing a character in She's the Man or something?" Veronica snickered.
"No I found a loophole, so I wore the boys uniform. I think I look dashing." I I looked down. The pants were tailored to my size and it made my butt look good not going to lie.
"You're so fucking weird." Jenny mumbled.
"Aw thanks! Now shoo class is about to start and I don't want bugs flying around me." I waved my hands towards the four of them. Thomas and Jamie left the class, while the two she devils took their seats. However I can still feel someone staring at me.
"Is there something wrong with my face Elliot?" I looked at him and he nodded his head.
"No there's nothing." He looked away and faced the front.
Mr. Phillips walked in with some unknown girl. She was cute I will admit, had a very innocent look on her face. Though I can sense that she was far from innocent, even if her face says other wise.
"We have a new student, please introduce yourself." Mr. Phillips said as he took a step aside.
"I'm Rose Ramone. Nice to meet you I guess." She introduced herself. I can tell she too, do not like people. I think we can be the best of friends.
"Ok Rose please sit in front Cassie. Raise your hand please" Mr. Phillips gave her a weird look. I raised my hand and Rose looked at me. She nodded her head and made her way towards me. As she walked she passed Veronica. The two girls looked at each and Rose smirked at her.
Oh my I think I can have a girl crush on her.
Rose took her seat and she turned around with a smile, I gave her one in return. I think I can finally have a friend for once. My mom would be so proud of me honestly. I held out my hand to introduce myself.
"I'm Cassie." I introduced myself once again.
"I'm Rose, nice to meet you." She said and shook my hand.
Once Mr. Phillips reviewed the material he let us work on our own. Rose turned her chair around and we started to talk. We had a lot in common, like being lazy and hating humanity which was great. Not only that she had to move cause she was expelled from her school for numerous fights. An Icon I may say, so she knows how to hold her ground.
"You seem excited." Elliot said out of the blue interrupting the conversation. I glanced towards him and he was resting his head on the desk facing me.
"Who wouldn't, we're similar." I said.
"Congratulations on your first friend." He laughed out. I feel threatened, is he laughing at me.
"I can't tell if you're making fun of me or not." I spoke.
"I'm not."
"You better not."
I paid my attention back to Rose and she looked confused. I gave her a smile and she tilted her head to the side. Her finger pointed between the two of us but didn't say anything.
"He's my mate, well was right?" I looked at him and he nodded his head.
"We rejected each other." Elliot explained. Rose mouth fell open and she still looked confused.
"It's complicated." Me and him said at the same time.
The bell rang saving me from this awkwardness and I got up from my chair. When me and Rose were talking I looked over her schedule. We had a lot of classes together which is even better. Maybe the moon goddess felt bad for me and send down an angel to me. I guess I could forgive her for the misgivings then.
We walked out the class and I was guiding her to her next class. However I was picking up something weird from her. She looked stiff and was sniffing the air quite a lot. Rose suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me close towards her. Now it was my turn to stand their stiffly. Is there something wrong? Her eyes were darting everywhere and her hold on my arm just tightened.
Don't tell me.
I heard rapid footsteps and Rose turned around quickly. Well she also made me turn around to and I swore I got whiplash. I saw Toby looking around frantically until his eyes landed on us. Actually on Rose and right now I feel like I was third wheeling in a sense.
"Mate." Toby and Rose said simultaneously. My mouth dropped down, oh my god is my slutty brother no longer going to be slutty. Am I shocked, absolutely I'm also very happy. I don't need to have girls crying to me because of my brother. That's one down though, where's the other?
Then I looked around frantically like a mad women. Where's the other crazy twin at? As if the gods above me heard he appeared trailing a cute girl who look similar to Rose. You're kidding me right, don't tell me he too found his mate. Jay grabbed the girls hand and dragged her towards me.
"Is that...your mate Jay?" I asked him. Jay nodded his so enthusiastically like it was about to fall off.
"Oh Rose? You found your mate?" The girl asked as she stared the new pair of couple.
"Yes, you two Lily?" Wow even their parents gave them flower names. It's pretty easy to figure out their siblings since their scent is almost identical.
Anyways what kind of fuckery is this? Twins as mates, is the mood goddess right in the head or no?
"Well I'll leave y'all to it, I'll go on my way now." I excused myself and left the newly found couple to themselves.
I kept walking aimlessly nowhere as some depressing thoughts filled my head.
-Gym-
I stared up at the sun as I ran my laps for moment. It was kind of hot today for running the mile. Though I'm a bit thankful since it was kind of getting my mind off of things. Being surrounded by very happy couples is actually very depressing. I'm just there as the love sick puppies cuddle each other and giggle.
It was a bit sickening.
However thinking like this does make me sound jealous, it's my fault after all. I accepted the rejection could've fought for it. I was too prideful, and I'm not saying I have feelings for Elliot. Just speaking in general you know.
As I was in my own little world, I didn't realize the threat that was next to me. I felt a sudden push and I was now rolling down a small ditch. My ankle hit something sharp and I winced in pain. I stopped myself from rolling and when I looked up I saw Jenny and Veronica looking down at me with smirks.
Oh I think I might snap.
Just for a slight moment my wolf took over and I was blinded by pure rage. When I did get back to my sense I was holding Jenny by her neck on the ground. Veronica was holding a bloody nose besides her and I let go of her neck.
"What is going on here?" The teacher ran over towards us and I was even shocked with myself. What the fuck did Addie do?!
"They started it, they pushed me down the ditch!" I pointed at them and they looked at my crazy. The teacher let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
"Go to the nurses and then to the principal office. I will be reporting this matter." She scolded.
"Yes ma'am." We all muttered.
I started walking away and I was very much aware of the pain in my ankle. There was a slight limp as I walked and I felt my sock getting soaked up by my blood. How deep did I cut my ankle? Once I was inside the school building I looked down to my horror.
"I looked like I got stabbed in the ankl-Woah Jesus you scared me!" Elliot popped out of nowhere literally. He came out of thin air and I was leaning against the locker in complete shock.
"Sorry my wolf started pestering me about how you're hurt." Elliot rubbed his head in pain.
"He knows when I'm hurt?" I asked creeped out.
"Yes, it's the stupid mate link thing." He said. Damn we still got out main link connected still? Do I have to pray to the mood goddess to cut it?
"Huh ok, well I'm fine you can go along now." I said and started limping away.
"I can help you know?" Elliot was walking right besides me at my pace.
"I'm fine, I can do it myself." I waved him off.
Despite my wishes he stayed by my side, I have a feeling his wolf is making him stay by my side. I looked up at him quickly, and started to question it actually. Is he now staying by my side willingly? A weird feeling raised in my stomach I try to ignore it because it was making me feel weird.
God what is trying to be? My knight in shining armor?
———————————————
I made that meme and honestly it goes perfect what happened between Elliot and Cassie. They are actually not trying to kill each other for once.
It called progress
Thanks for readinnng bueeeeeee

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.
