Rejected By My Mate

Chapter 22

The look on Azrael's face made my heart sting. Am I too hard on him? I sighed as I helped Layla stand up and leave Azrael on the balcony feeling hurt.

Layla and I are just silent while walking towards her room.

'Alex, you should let him explain.'

I think I hurt him, Xandra…

'Yes! I told you to give him a chance to explain! You know damn well that Layla is acting up!' Val said clearly upset with me.

I'm sorry…

Now, I feel bad.

'Talk to him, Alex. Please don't push him away again… '

Okay, Willow. I'm really sorry… Can you forgive me, Val?

'I'll forgive you, Alex, if Azrael will stay by our side. '

I closed my eyes and sighed.

Okay…

When we reached Layla's room, she sat on her bed while I just stood up, staring at her. I can feel Layla's uneasiness. I don't know what happened to her these past few days. She feels off. There's something wrong with her.

"Alex…" she murmured.

I let out an exasperated sighed and said, "Layla, I know what really happened. What's wrong with you? You're acting weird since I brought Azrael with me!"

Layla bowed down her head and just played with her hands quivering. But, she looked up at me with a face stained with tears. I gasped in surprise. "Because I'm jealous, Alex! Since you met him, you've changed drastically! You are not the Alex I knew before! The Alex that I love!" she said through gritted teeth. Her chest was now heaving up and down. I saw her fist clenching tightly on the bed sheet. Her stare was so intense that it gave me goosebumps.

I feel like I was choked up by my words and all I could do was stare at her in shock. Did I hear it right?

'What the actual f*ck?!'

'S-she's jealous? '

'The eff?'

Automatically, my tears poured down on my face. How can I not notice?

Layla stood up from the bed and walked towards me but I stopped her. She frowned while tears were still streaming down her face.

"Layla, you love me as a sister and a best friend only, right?" I ask trying to convince her and myself. Maybe I was misinterpreting her words.

This time she burst out crying in front of me but I couldn't hug her. It's like my feet were glued to the floor.

"A-Alex, I love you more than just a best friend and a sister! I've been in love with you since we were kids!" she said while sobbing. A look of hurt crossed her eyes. I tore my gaze away from her and just looked at my feet. I closed my eyes. It still doesn't sink in my mind. Did Layla, my best friend, confess to me? Maybe, I just heard it wrong?

I shook my head at Layla. "Layla, maybe you misinterpreted your love for me. It's wrong, Layla…" I said, clenching my jaw while stopping my tears to pour down again.

"Bullsh*t, Alex! I know how I feel towards you! I tried ignoring it for years but I have failed miserably!" she said frustratedly and sobbed. I took a step backwards.

This is just a dream. Please wake me up!

I was breathing heavily now while clutching the ground. I can feel my claws growing long. Then my eyes were changing into different colors. The colors that I couldn't believe my eyes are capable of changing fast. It's so painful. I wanted to close my eyes but it won't. I didn't scream, I'm afraid werewolves will hear me.
