His Rejected Luna novel Chapter 5

Sophia's POV

I wake up in another cold sweat and tears down my face. The only difference from last time is that Titus didn't come and comfort me. I sit up and try to calm myself down. I try to do those breathing exercises my family always tries to get me to do. My breathing began to become shorter and choppier. The back of my throat became dry so I got up still trying to calm myself down. I walk outside, my vision still blurry from just waking up so suddenly, and pour myself a cup of water. I gulp it down and it helps my breathing a bit. I walk to the front door and see a guard.

"Can you ask Beta Brody to come here?" I ask through hiccups. He nods silently. He looks like he blanked into space which let me know he was using mind-link. Minutes later the doors open and Brody walks in. He looks like he just woke up.

"Are you okay Soph," He says looking at me.

"N-no," I hiccup. I wrap my arms around his body but he doesn't do it back.

"Soph Titus wont be happy if my scent is on you," he says cautiously.

"Well he isn't here to calm me down," I snap back immediately regretting it.

"I'm sorry if I woke you," I whisper.

"It's okay," he says wrapping his hands around me. I try to back away knowing Titus wont be happy.

"Titus wont be happy," I mumble.

"I stay here till you fall asleep," he says. We walk back to my room in silence. My breathing was turning back to normal. I wiped the stray tears on my cheek away and climb into my bed.

"Thank you," I whisper to Brody. He sat on the arm chair in the corner and smiled. I start to drift into sleep but it was interrupted by a loud crash. My door flung open almost flying of the hinges.

"Why is your scent on my mate," He voice booms through my room.

"You idiot! You hear her crying uncontrollably and do nothing so obviously I'm going to do something. She was just about to fall asleep but you dumbass couldn't wait could you. You claim she's your mate but this is probably the first time she's seen your face today. You ignoring her and all she probably so confused but you give no explanation," Brody says obviously mad. Titus' eyes became black letting us know his wolf was out.

"Stay away from my mate," His low voice says.

"No. She needs help and obviously you aren't giving it to her. She has panic attacks at night and you can't even help her. As her mate you need to comfort her but your afraid," he says. Titus' gaze makes it to my eyes and his features soften but go back when he looks back at Brody.

"You're not her mate so why are you here?" He says his low voice getting louder. Brody doesn't look afraid. I don't know why he was protecting me I've known him for two days.

"You should be thanking me. You would have to deal with her crying all night and sit in your room not doing anything." Am I a burden to them. Maybe I should leave I'm already causing problems.

"If your not going to protect her...I will," Brody says. It set Titus' wolf off he clenched his fists and swung.

"STOP," I screamed. Titus' fist stopped a few centimeters in front of Brody's face. Titus' eyes went back to his sky blue eyes. He looked at me and just realized what he was about to do in front of me. He abruptly left and slammed the door closed. Brody looks at me with sorry in his eyes.

"I'm sorry for that," he apologizes.

"It's okay you were just sticking up for me. Why?" I ask.

"You're like a sister to me now. I've know you for. What? Two days? But I feel like I've known you for months." I give a light smile to him.

"Who ever your mate is, they're going to be lucky," I tell him. He smiles and nods. I lay back down and snuggle into my blanket.

"Goodnight," He whispers.

"Goodnight," I whisper back. And finally sleep took me.
