*Parker Mason*

Pain.

Regret.

Sorrow.

Anger.

That's all I felt. My wolf was not talking to me. He was angry with me. I would be too. Anger boiled through me and a loud growl erupted from me. I stood up from my desk and shoved it over causing a loud crash.

I heard a knock on my door but ignored them. Sudden pain filled me making me let out a groan of pain. The knock on the door came again followed by a voice and a had peaking in.

"Alpha, are you ok?" My head snapped towards him and I couldn't feel my wolf but the pain was too much. Zander took in my appearance and his eyes widened in fear as he noticed my state. I felt my canines extending and my claws come out.

"GET OUT!" I roared at him. His eyes widened in fear as he quickly left. I gritted my teeth together as the pain grew stronger. I cursed out as I took a seat in my chair and threw my had back releasing out a holler of pain. I saw black spots in my vision.

I was immediately filled with worries of the pack members. Many were asking if I was alright but I didn't reply to any of them.

Pain and anger took over my body. Pain that felt like a big part of me was taken out. My head pounded as it ached and sharp pains shot through my arms and legs. The most pain was in my chest and it felt like I was stabbed many times by silver.

I cursed out profanities as black spots filled my vision and dizziness took over. Sweat trickled down my forehead and I was panting. I tried calling out to my wolf but I couldn't reach him. It was the worst pain I could ever feel. It was worse than anything I've experienced, and I've experienced many things. My shirt clung to my sweat covered body. Everything felt hot as the pain only got worse. I tried getting up from the chair and head for my door but my knees locked and I collapsed to my knees and caught myself with my hands first.

'Alpha!' This time it was Jonas who called out to me through the pack-link. I could tell that everyone in the pack was able to feel my pain. I slipped into unconsciousness as black filled my whole vision.

I sat up quickly as sweat coated my face and body. My eyes focused on a bright light that hung above me. I shifted my eyes to my right and noticed the plain white walls. This caused my to sit up and I realized I was in the pack hospital. My throat felt dry and needed some water. Turning my head I notice a glass of water sitting on the table by the bed. Taking it, I drank all of it before getting up. Thats when I felt the emptiness inside of me.

My jaw clenched and I balled my fists at the familiar feeling but it was worse. I stood up from the bed and swayed but I quickly stood up straight. The door opened and Michael, the doctor stepped in. He looked startled to see me up.

"Alpha, you should probably lay back down. You've been out for a few hours. I wasn't able to figure out what was wrong, but I do know you have no contact with your wolf," he spoked as he looked down at his clipboard in hand.

I nodded my head but didn't make a move to go back and lay down. Michael noticed so he opened his mouth but closed it at the look I was giving him.

"May I ask why it happened?" He asked.

I crossed my arms over my chest and replied, my voice was low, "I don't know." He nodded his head not asking anything else. I then turned to the door and opened it. I exited the room and started down the hall. Members of my pack bowed as I walked by which I returned with a nod. My jaw was set and my lips pressed into a thin line. I know why this happened.

Its because Jasmine rejected me.

I clenched my jaw at the thought.

I exited the building and shifted into my wolf not caring that my clothes ripped. I bolted into the forest in the direction of my house. I noticed the strong empty feeling inside of me and panic soon took over. When my house came into view, I moved quicker.

What if she wasn't there?

'Of course she wouldn't be there. You're an asshole,' my wolf growled at me. I growled back and blocked him out. He was right. I didn't treat my mate the correct way, I know that. I don't even know how to treat a woman. I don't know what to do and what not to do. But I have some reasons behind my action, they may not be good reasons, but everything has a reason.

I shifted mid run as I approached my house. I swung the door open not caring I was naked and frantically went inside.

"JASMINE!" I shouted out as I entered the hallway. I sniffed the air and there was no trace of her scent. No one responded. I ran up the stairs as sweat trickled down my body and called out to her again, my voice cracking, "JASMINE! BABY, ARE YOU HERE?" Again, no one responded. Not even a sound. No life. I gulped as I allowed my back to hit the and I clenched my jaw as a numb feeling washed over me.

She's gone.

She's really gone. My mate. She was given to me by the Moon Goddess and all I did was mess this up.

I slid down the wall so I was sitting on the floor and ran my fingers through my messy hair. I allowed my head to fall back against the wall and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I can't do anything right, just like with my mother. A sickening feeling filled me but I quickly brushed the thoughts away. I will not sit back and let her go.

After a few minutes of me cursing myself out, I stood back up from the wall and headed to my room to get some clothes.

There is only thing I can do. I decided to mind-link my pack.

"I NEED THE MEMBERS ON PATROL DEUTY AND MY BEST FIGHTERS TO SEARCH THE TERRITORY AND ALERT OTHER ALPHAS ABOUT JASMINE. MEET ME AT THE NORTH BOARDER. WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I GET MY MATE BACK!" My voice roared through the link and I could feel all of the pain from all of the pack members because their Luna is gone and also the shock that I had found my mate. Fear was also mixed in from the tone of my voice.

I yanked the front door of my house open and headed back to the north boarder.

I will not let my mate get away. I will get her back and she'll stay with me forever, rejected or not.

*Jasmine Davis*

My eyes observed the torn tents that were set up as rogues walked around chatting with one another, carrying crates of food and other things, or setting up fires for warmth from the cold fall air. They seemed so civil. Hannah was walking next to me.

"We are almost to the eating tent," she said. I followed her silently as we neared a large rusty tent that had members coming in and out of it. We entered it and noticed there were pups sitting on the ground eating like it was their last meal. My heart clenched at the thought of they being their only meal a day.

"Hannah!" A voice called out to her. I shifted my gaze to see a middle-aged woman walking towards us with a basket full bread. Hannah turned to the woman and smiled. She welcomed her with a hug.

"Hi Isobel," Hanna greeted. The woman, who I'm assuming is Isobel, handed Hannah the basket.

"I need you to slice these."

Hannah nodded and gladly took the basket. It was then Isobel noticed me standing next her and she welcomed me with a warm smile, "You must be Jasmine." I gave her a confused look and she let out a laugh.

"Word goes around quickly," she responded to my confusion. My mouth formed an 'o' before I nodded.

"Are you feeling better?" She asked as she untied the apron around her waist and laid it on the wooden table that was set up along the side of the tent.

"Yeah I am," I lied through my teeth. I would be good, I mean I don't have a headache. But the emptiness inside of me was strong and unbearable. All I wanted to do was reunite with my mate but I knew that thats not an option. I offered her a forced smile as she mentioned something about helping some mothers with their pups. I followed Hannah as she walked deeper into the tent, greeting others as she walked by. Some stared at me but I kept my eyes on the back of Hannah's head. She stopped at a table and placed the basket on it before walking over to what looked like a hose and washed her hands. I did the same and went back to the table and noticed she was slicing the bread like told.

I picked up a knife and helped slice the bread. We worked in silence. I listened to the conversations around us from the others.

"So why were you passed out?" Hannah asked not looking up from the bread. My breath hitched at the question. I didn't expect her to ask a question like that. I slowly stopped cutting the bread.

I contemplated whether to tell her or not. I took a deep breath and finally responded.

"I rejected my mate." My voice was a whisper as I felt my wolf whimper and pain briefly swirled inside me. I heard a gasp from beside me. I turned my head and noticed Hannah staring at me with wide eyes.

"You rejected your mate?" She asked, shock clear in her voice. I nodded in response and averted my gaze back down.

"Is it ok if I ask why? You don't have to answer..." she trailed off.

The pain came back as I kept thinking about Parker. Do I want to share this with her? I should probably talk about it, it would probably make me feel better.

I put down the knife and turned fully towards her. I took a deep breath, "I rejected him because I don't believe I deserve him. I've had a rough past involving another male and just me not taking care of myself. I regret what I did to myself and I feel that my mate deserves better. I thought that I would give him a chance but he blew it. I may not deserve a mate, I may not like the idea of having a mate, but I do know that no other female should be treated the way I've been treated." I felt tears well up in my eyes but I didn't let them fall. I waited for Hannah to answer. She stared at me with a frown on her face and placed her knife down also.

"That's awful," her voice was a whisper. She looked down towards the ground. Her next words were barely above a whisper.

"My mother was taken away by another pack of rogues. All I know is that they took her because of her beauty and wanted her body. My father tried everything he could to find her. He didn't. He died from the pain of her gone, he knew she was killed. He could feel it in the bond." She sniffled and quickly wiped the tear from her face. I could feel my heart aching for her. She continued, "I, too, was kidnapped by rogues but my pack, or just group of rogues I should say, saved me. I was out in the forest with some friends. I was a stupid 6 year old, not knowing the dangers of the world. I don't know where my old pack is, they've never looked for me. I don't even remember what pack it was."

She looked at me through her tear-filled eyes, "You should give him another chance. Maybe he understands now what he did wrong. Whoever this guy is, shouldn't go through the pain like my dad did. All I can remember was how heart broken he was. I remember he was so closed off and spent most of his time in his office and never took interest in other women." The tears in my eyes were now sliding down my cheeks. I instantly felt guilty and regretful for what I did. Did I even do the right thing rejecting Parker? He didn't stop me when I left though.

Maybe he doesn't even care.

I pulled Hannah into a hug and I could feel her back shaking as she cried. All of her pain and sorrow poured out as if she kept it all behind walls that were just let down. I rubbed circles on her back hoping it would calm her down.

After a few minutes of me comforting her, she finally calmed down.

"Are you okay?" I asked her as I examined her face. Her eyes were puffy and red and her cheeks were stained with tear streaks. She nodded her head, "Yes, thank you. I've been needing that." I gave her a small smile in which she shakily returned.

"Whats going on here?" A voice said from behind us. We both jumped and turned to face the source. My eyes went wide as I realized who it was.
