"So how have you been doing, darling girl? and don't lie to me, you know that shit doesn't work with me." I can't help but smile at Suzzy as we head for the cells. I adore her. She is an older Omega and is as sweet as a button. She's always there for everyone and has been an incredible support to me my entire life, especially since I lost both of my parents. After all of the heartache and pain that she has suffered in her life, she shouldn't be as kind as she is and yet she is every single day. She has lived through losing not only her mate but she's also lost her two children and yet, she's still so unbelievably sweet.

"I'm ok." She stops me from walking and gives me that look that's calling bullshit. "No, honestly I am. Of course, at first, I wasn't, I mean no wolf wants to be rejected by their mate especially because of a scar that she can't change but after hiding out since it happened and talking a lot with Annabell... my wolf, I've come to terms with it. As for what happened, I always knew there was a chance of it happening and now that it has, it's just something that I'm going to have to live with." I shrug as I give her my best smile. Of course, I'm sad about the situation but I'm not going to let it ruin my life.

"I believe you dear and I'm glad that you are doing ok and if that sorry excuse for a wolf couldn't see past one tiny scar then he doesn't deserve you. Maybe you'll be blessed with a second chance mate, someone who will love every single part of you just like he should!" I smile at her words as we once again start walking but inside I want to scream. I don't want to have a second chance mate because it will mean dealing with two rejections and I don't think I can do it.

The heavy door that leads to the cells creeks as we walk through it then makes a loud thumb as it slams behind us as we walk down the stone steps that lead to the one place that looks and smells like hell. The one thing I hate about bringing Luches down here is that you have to walk past the cells to reach the room that the warriors use to eat in. Seeing people locked away isn't nice even when they deserve it.

As we make our way past the cells I hear a voice that instantly makes me want to throw up. "Well, hello there, mate. Are you here to finally set me free?" I turn around and come face to face with the one person who should be by my side right now but instead, he rejected me and has somehow gotten his stupid ass locked up.

"Ignore him, sweet girl." Suzzy grabs my arm and goes to pull me along with her when he once again tries to talk to me. "Come on, darling let me out. I was an idiot rejecting you, I don't know why I did it but I seriously regret it. I was on my way to find you when a group of Warriors surrounded me and threw me in here. I don't even know what it is that I have supposedly done."

I stare at him and a shiver of disgust rolls through my body. I'm not sure how stupid he is but if he thinks he can work some sort of magic with me because he was supposed to be my mate then he's clearly off his head. It's clear to see that he's lying and I'm not about to fall for any of his bullshit. "What do you say, mate... how about you get me out of here and we start things again? Neither of us is with anyone so we can just take back the rejection."

Fuck, this guy is seriously stupid and has some serious balls. "I'm not your mate because you didn't want me once you saw my scar. It's a bit strange how all of a sudden now that you want my help you also magically want me to be your mate!" Inside I'm shaking but somehow by some miracle I manage to appear unaffected by his words on the outside and I'm seriously grateful for it. If anything my voice is strong and confident and I love it.

"Everyone makes mistakes. I was getting a lot of pressure from my dad about my future as a Beta. Things at my pack have been crazy lately and my dad expects things to be perfect, for me to be perfect, and honestly, my wolf has been getting ansty about us meeting our mate and everything got too much and resulted in me having way too many drinks and turning in a major asshole."

He's good, I'll give him that and if I hadn't dealt with my fair share of assholes in the past then I would more than likely believe him but I don't believe him and I won't ever believe a goddam word he says about...Well, anything really. "Think of the life that we could have together. We can be with our true Mate, have children, and get married. You would become Beta female." I look at his face and it's easy to see that he thinks that he's got this in the bag but he's so fucking wrong.

"Nothing you say is going to make me open your cell door so you can stop with the nice guy act because it won't work and I know that this isn't the real you. Do you think that a scar will make me so desperate for my mate to accept me that I'd do anything including betraying my pack for him when he didn't give a shit about me just a few nights ago?"

I feel movement to the side of me and catch a glimpse of Suzzy as she heads towards the guard's room but I keep my eyes on the prick standing in front of me as his eyes start to flare with anger. He's struggling to hold his anger back and it's quite funny to see. "You fail to realize that I would rather spend the rest of my life alone than with someone like you!"

I hear the door to the guard room open and at the same time, a strange smell seems to enter the room, and then Annabell starts whining and trying to step forward. At first, I'm confused as to why she is behaving like this but then I feel my blood run cold when reality hits me, she reacted this way when we first met Prick Face... our mate. Is she reacting to him again maybe? Or have I really been cursed with finding a second chance mate? It's rare that it happens so it would be just my luck to get one. I shake my head as once again I find myself confused but I decide to try and ignore Anabell for now and ask her about it later.

I hear the door to the guard room open once more but again I keep my focus on the prick in front of me as he finally snaps and loses his good guy act. "You are a worthless piece of shit. You should be honored I would even entertain the idea of being with you. On second thoughts, I don't think I could do it. Imagine waking up to your face every day... Fuck, it would cause some night terrors." His words hurt, of course, they do but I don't show him. He's not the first person to insult me because of my scar and he won't be the last. I learned how to hide the hurt years ago and he ain't about to see any different.

I stare at him as he keeps insulting me but I don't pay much attention to what he's saying as Annabell is getting harder to ignore. "You will regret this day when you're old and lonely, you'll regret not letting me out of here." Before I can answer Annabella's whining reaches an all-time high, and then I feel heat up against my back as a sensation of smells hit me in the face. Oh goddess no, please don't let this be what I think it is!

"Speak to my mate like that again and I'll rip your fucking face off!" Oh fuck no!
