Layla's perspective 

Christian stayed at the hospital until I was able to heal. I've never met someone who cared so much for someone, that should have meant little to them.Christian had never left my side; he even stayed the night and slept on a recliner in my room, something I hadn't expected. However, I definitely enjoyed his presence. For once, I felt cared about. I should have meant nothing to him, but he had acted like he'd known me his whole life.

As I prepared to leave, the doctor had just given me a clean bill of health. Christian gathered my belongings before I could make a move, then escorted me to his SUV and opened the door like a perfect gentleman. He lifted me and carefully settled me into the car, fastening my seatbelt with a gentle touch. After doing so, he softly kissed my forehead, intensifying my growing crush on him. Despite yearning for my mate, I found myself longing for Christian, which left me undeniably confused. 

As we pulled up to my house, I began unbuckling my seatbelt and preparing to get up. Once again, Christian came around, unbuckled me, lifted me, and set me down on my feet. Wrapping his arms around me, he tenderly hugged me and planted a kiss on my cheek. His sweetness was incredibly touching.

Suddenly,Christian cleared his throat as if he had something important he wanted to say. 

"I got you that cell phone for a reason, so if you need anything, I want you to text me anytime of day or night. It doesn't matter," Christian said earnestly. " Okay, thanks " I said giving him a soft smile as I grabbed my things and walk to the house. 

I knew when Christian took over as Alpha, he would make the pack better. 

My mate is exactly the opposite.

Mike hadn't tried to see me, although Carly had been driving me crazy by asking about him every 5 minutes, but I'd heard he was okay, and was sure Carly would know if there had been any big changes, so I wasn't worried.

The mate bond lets you know if your mate is hurt, you feel the pain literally.

My phone buzzed, so I picked it up to check, I had hoped it would be Christian, but was surprised when I realized it was a text from Mike, that said:

"We need to talk, 

meet me in the pack house kitchen.

now!"

How did he get my number? I thought

Checking myself in the mirror to make sure I looked presentable. I wanted to look good for my mate, even if he was a complete dick.

I wanted to at least try.

Making my way to the kitchen, I was so nervous, I was unsure of his intentions because I knew what he was capable of and was prepared to defend myself if he hurt me again.

At the sight of him, my heart fluttered, as if it had skipped a beat, and my wolf stirred with an unexpected sense of joy. I struggled to comprehend why she wasn't more distressed. Admitting to myself, a surge of butterflies seemed to take flight in my stomach, a sensation I had never encountered in Mike's presence.

  There my gorgeous mate stood, his hair was perfectly styled as usual, his eyes intense, seductive, and filled with lust.

His incredible scent of toasted coconut and vanilla lingered, causing me to become instantly aroused.

I'm pretty sure he knew this, racing towards me our bodies collided, smashing our lips together. 

The sensation of his gentle sweet lips, had my wolf begging to be marked. In that moment, the feelings of unease and fear seemed to fade into the background, and I surrendered as I let him kiss me. I was determined to make this work, no matter what it took.

As we deepened our kisses our tongues met and Mike's hands began to wander my body, I gasped pulling apart from him, he was being rough and going too fast.

Suddenly, Mike shoved me to the ground. I looked up at him and was shocked at how suddenly his mood changed. And suddenly the feelings of unease and fear crept right back into my psyche,  As he released his grip on me, Carly whimpered, pining for his touch. The sudden chill in the air amplified my sense of loss, driving home the cruel reality. In that moment, I realized my ignorance in believing he could ever truly desire me. No matter my efforts, I was trapped in the suffocating certainty of never being worthy.

  

"Did u think I wanted a lowly worthless piece of shit like you?" He laughed, as tears soaked my cheeks."Maybe I'll just fuck you on the side making you my little pack whore, that's all you are worth anyway."

       ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

He said reaching for me and grabbing my legs as he forced my pants off.

"Please don't do this we're mates!

we can work this out!"

I begged and pleaded, but was met with an angry growl, as he forced my legs open he began unzipping his pants. 

Everywhere he touched I felt tingles and Sparks but I wanted to die. Carly was beside herself and didn't know how to react, I think she was just shocked. 

Mike our Gamma, who was supposed to be the love of my life, my protector, and someone who is there to put pack members at ease. Took me by force rejecting me and I accepted. 

I continued to beg and plead.

Please just reject me I'll never bother you again!

I felt Sharp pain as he slammed his member into me, my wolf tried to comfort me as he muttered vulgar profanities, while attempting to kiss me.

                   ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

That's when everything went black...

When I came too he was standing over me with a malicious grin.

That's when he said those words I never thought I would hear...

"I Mike Weaver, Gamma of the crescent Moon pack.

Reject you, Layla Rhodes Beta female of the crescent moon pack."

"Do you accept?" 

I stumbled, getting my clothes back on,  and stood up straight with all the strength I could muster, and looked him dead in the eye.

"I Layla Rhodes Beta female of the Crescent Moon pack.

Accept your rejection!"

On cue we both fell to the floor as the mate bond began to break, I fought through the pain standing up and stepping over him.

He attempted to grab my leg begging me to stay. I don't think he expected me to accept it. 

I spit in his face and walked away, I would never shed another tear for Mike Weaver!
