Rejected

Chapter 20

Grayson's POV

Mia laid still on the hospital bed, a breathing tube shoved up her nose. I sat in the far corner, away from her, away from everyone.

I can still hear her screams, begging me to let her die. Begging me to hand her the glass. I still see those dead eyes, the very ones I fell for.

Her family was in the room, her father requested the biggest room to fit us all. Mia would have hated it.

I hear the door open and my eyes snap over to it and watch a female doctor walk in. "I have the results" she announces catching everyone's attention, everyone but Bane's.

"Mia had a mental breakdown. And I think I know where it came from" she looks at us, her father didn't look amused at how long it was taking.

"From what you all explained to me, she goes on a long hunting trip against her mates orders and then stumbles across you all only to get shot. She is rushed to the hospital and announced dead, but she isn't.

Long story short she wakes up, meets her family. Her mates show up and add to the chaos. She had so much inner turmoil built up she finally snapped" the doctor explains.

"Oh my god" her mother gasps, her eyes looked just liked Mia's. "I'll leave you to let it sink in" the doctor murmurs before bowing and leaving the room.

"All this time we got angry or frustrated at her and yelled it only added to it?" Noah,I think asked in a small voice.

From across the room I saw Ethan tense up and meet my gaze. 'We made her snap' he whispers over mind link.

I hung my head and gave him little nod. "E-excuse me" Ethan stutters before rushing out of the room. My eyes scan the room, and I notice Bane's lips are moving rapidly, almost like he was talking to someone.

Closing my eyes, my wolf heights our senses. I could feel and extra presence in the room, right by Bane. Opening my eyes I stare at Bane, until he looks at me. I give him a pointed look.

He freezes for a moment, before I see his lips moving again. My brows knit together when his eyes follow something towards me. His eyes are trained to the side of me, that's when something happened.

Goosebumps raised on my body, I could feel a cold presence beside me. 'Go find Ethan, I will follow you out' Bane speaks through mine link. The presence is gone and so are my goosebumps.

Walking over to Mia I kiss her cheek before leaving the room swiftly. Ethan wasn't hard to find, he was in his room staring blankly out the window. Closing the door I pace the length of the room.

A minute passes by before Bane enters the room. He walked over to the mirror in Ethan's room and stood in front of it. "Come here,both of you" he orders before stepping back.

The mirror can only fit one of our figures, but I had a feeling that wouldn't matter. "Stand in front of it can close your eyes" he instructs, Ethan gives me a blank look before walking over and closing his eyes.

I follow and do the same. "Okay, now focus. I want you to believe that you can see Mia, right here in front of you. Beside you. I want you to image you talking to her" he says. Memory of her laughing and being goofy appear in my mind.

I focus on that like Bane said, I focused on the sound of her laugh, the tingles and sparks I felt when touched. "Now open" he whispers,my eyes open and they stare in the mirror.

Blue eyes mirror mine, and they were attached to a familiar face. Her face wasn't the one I was used to, she had no piercings. My eyes scanned her body, no tattoos. I noted she wore an elegant white mermaid dress with lace sleeves. The dressed dipped down to her collar bone, up there was lace as well.

The sleeve was so long with hooked on her middle finger, but she looked stunning. Her hair was in a perfect messy bun, the pieces that fell lose curled. "Mia" Ethan says from beside me, he sounded shocked.

Ethan

Her voice was alluring, so soft and sweet it made my knees weak.

"What's going on?" I demand, she looks down at the floor then up at me. Her eyes filled with tears.

My body couldn't handle all the anxiety and shut down

A tear slips down her face, I reached out to wipe it but my finger touched cold glass. Sighing I drop my hand, this brings more tears. "When will you wake up?" Ethan asks going to sit on the bed.

I don't know

She sobs, tears fall fast down her flushed cheeks. I go and sit by Ethan, "why didn't you talk to us?" I ask hurt lacing my tone.

You never let me

I run my hands through my hair.  Bane sat quietly in the room, watching us with curious eyes.

I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough. I'm sorry I didn't talk to you. I'm sorry I went out on my own. And I'm sorry I'm not the mate you wanted.

She cries, Bane gets up and leave. Our eyes followed him out, when we look back to the mirror she was gone. But there was fog on the other side of the mirror, in the fog was a heart.

"Fuck!" Ethan shouts and punches the mirror, the glass in broken in pieces. Ethan begins to pace the floor, stepping on the glass. My eyes are trained one two pieces of glass.

Walking over I crouch down and pick up the two pieces. If I were to put them together get it would have made a whole heart.

But I didn't.

I held the two pieces in my hand, they were spilt perfectly in half.

Just like her heart.
