267–No Rejection For Me
Nora:
Brody was nice, but his pack was entirely new to me. Not to mention, staying so far away from my mates would upset my wolf too.
How the hell would I comfort her then?
“Nash!” I stepped in his way, and his frown deepened. He looked so
angry that for a second, I can’t even start talking. I wondered if
blocking his path was the right move.
But then I forced myself, kicked my ego out of my life just to ask him. to help me stay here.
“You don’t want me gone,” I said confidently.
“Huh? What makes you say that?” he shrugged.
“Because we are mates,” I had to glance around to see if anyone was listening to us. I wouldn’t want anyone to overhear and then have Nash get angry when I needed his support so badly.
“I don’t remember such a thing. Why are you calling yourself my mate?” he inquired, but he looked straight into my eyes as if challenging
me.
The smirk on his lips as he tilted his head was like a taunt.
“You know that’s true. The Moon Goddess knows.” I attempted to remind him that she would be upset if he didn’t acknowledge his mate.

“Umm, nope! I don’t remember anything. All I remember is that you’re one nasty person. Someone who just wants attention and isn’t ready to be loyal to anyone. You weren’t even loyal to your own family, Nora. The minute you realized your monster father wasn’t good enough, you ran to hide in our mansion,” he was describing my flaws in a way only an enemy would have detailed them.
“If you’re angry about it, I swear I didn’t recognize him,” I tried to hold his hand, but he shrugged it off so harshly that he almost knocked me against the chair,
I least expected him to feel guilty and help me up, but he didn’t do that.
I had to straighten my own back and balance myself to face him again. “Nash! What is going on with you? Why are you all treating me like this? I don’t want to go with Brody. Please!!
I was now losing my self–esteem entirely.
Self–esteem and ego are two things that once you let them slide a little. they just keep falling until you’ve lost them.
That was the issue. I knew the minute I asked them to let me stay, it would turn into begging.
“Huh!” Nash shook his head, placed his bottle down, and grabbed my face in his hand, making me rise onto my toes.
“I don’t want you. You are not worth my time, Nora. You were that slut’s daughter, and you proved it. There is nothing in the world that will make me accept you ever, so forget about everything and leave with Brody. You wanted to date him anyway,” as he shrugged, I gently pressed my fingers against his wrist to make him release me, but he
didn’t.

“I didn’t. You and your father told me that was a good idea to clear- our names,” I said through the pain. His nails were digging into my skin, leaving crescent moon marks.
He finally pushed me back and sighed.
“I don’t remember such a thing. All I know is that you go with your boyfriend and let us live in peace,” he grabbed his bottle, but another idea popped into my head this time.
“Then reject me if you truly are over me and don’t want me, reject me,” I insisted. Rejection was something that would make anyone. think about their actions. It wouldn’t be that easy for him to hear me ask for rejection and not react to it. Or maybe I was overthinking.
Because he calmly shrugged and uttered, “Why would I reject you when we’re not even mates? Do you have proof that we are mates?” There was a pout on his lips, almost mocking me for being a fool and thinking the Alpha King’s brothers would ever accept having a mate who is a whistler’s daughter.
“Now go, get out of my sight, and leave with your chosen mate,” he even chuckled a bit as he mockingly walked past me.
I was left heavily bruised, with nothing coming to mind. But I had to stop. There was this part of me urging me to do something to stay here.
So after standing frozen in my spot for three minutes, I walked. downstairs to have a word with my other mate who had left so quickly to avoid watching me beg before him.
I didn’t even knock on the door before entering his studio, shocking
him.
He was busy finishing a painting when he watched me enter and lock
