Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 7

Jumping back I bowed my head. I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't realize it was you. I tell him. He must have been on a perimeter run. He rises up, shaking the bits of leaves off of his fur. He walks toward me, using his snout to lift my head. He licks a spot above my eye that I assume was bleeding. When did that happen?

Don't worry, babe. Nice job by the way.

His words float through my mind and my wolf shivers. I started to walk through the trees and toward my back pack. Elijah grabs his bag from a tree near by and follows behind me.

I shift, curling behind a tree. I hear him shift too. "How did you get to me so fast? And where's Cliff?" He asks, coming around the tree, slipping a shirt over my head. I pulled out a pair of underwear from my bag and slipped them on.

I closed my eyes and opened them quick. No idea." I tell him with a laugh. He laughs in response. "That was some try. C'mon, let's get your cut cleaned up," I frown, no clue as to how I got it. "CLIFF. Pack house." He shouts and wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk back to the pack house.

"Ouch." I wince and pull away. Joel was cleaning my cut in the pack infermery while Cliff and Elijah sat by asking me questions about training. "Stop being such a baby. It's going to heal as soon as I get all the dirt out anyways." He mutters pouring a bit of rubbing alcohol onto some gauze before presses it to the cut. Frig it stung.

"Hell, you can practically knock the Alpha on his derriere but you whine over a little bitch cut?" Cliff smirks. "I'm about to bitch cut you if you don't stop talking." I glare at him. "It hurts okay." By the time Joel was done, I felt the wound squeeze the skin together as it healed. "Great!, can we get back to training now?" I bounce up and off the counter top. "Uh, no. If you wanna train, we'll start on your flexibility," he winks and I blush. What was I supposed to say to that?

"I'll be in my office, if I hear you've gone back to training, I won't be happy." Elijah states clearly and I frown as I nod. He leaves the room after kissing my forehead and I stare at Cliff and Joel.

"I'm gonna go take a shower," I mumble to them both and head to my room. Slipping out of Elijahs shirt and my undies, I step into the bathroom, turn on the shower and step into the hot water.

I wash my hair and body quick before hopping out and turning the taps off. I dry my hair best I can before heading out of the bathroom and to my drawers.

I grab another pair of undies and another long t-shirt before heading downstairs.

Walking into the kitchen, I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl before walking into the living room.

Cliff and Joel were on the couch talking to a few other pack members. I took a seat beside Joel and continued eating my apple, listening in to them talk about hockey.

The other pack members start to leave and soon it's just the three of us. Cliff, Joel and me. We talk like we always do, random topics and questions causing us to laugh or cringe. Rebekah came down smiling about a half hour later. "Hey, wanna join us? We're just talking and goofing around."
