I entered the room to meet Asher sitting on his usual desk, the smell grew stronger the closer I got to him and this day couldn't get any better for me to find out my mate is actually my boyfriend.

"Asher!" I squeaked in excitement as I wrapped my arms around him but he didn't respond like he used to nor did he hug me back.

I slowly pulled away from the hug in an attempt to figure out what was wrong.

"Asher, it's my birthday!" I smiled as I looked deep into his dark grey eyes, similar to those of Ariel.

"I know, happy birthday!" He coldly replied and I knew something was wrong.

I took a few steps back because I didn't want to be affected by his attitude. Perhaps he'll be happy when he knows I'm mated to him.

"I have good news," I said in enthusiasm but there wasn't still any emotion on his face as he stared at me with a blank expression.

"Let's save it for later" he abruptly said and pushed the tray of food on his desks as he stood up from his seat.

"Asher!" I yelled his name because I was getting anxious, at least I deserve to know what was the cause of his sudden behavior on my birthday.

Calling out his name worked because he stopped on his tracks as he tucked his hands in his pocket bringing out his manly figure which I still couldn't get out of my head.

I walked up to him and circled to meet his face, his chiseled jaws were clenched and there was disgust clearly written all over his face.

"You're acting weird Asher" I complained but he immediately scoffed.

"Maybe you're the one thinking weirdly" he responded with a smirk and I felt my heart breaking.

He has never spoken to me this way before so why now?

"I'm mated to you Asher"

"No, you're mated to yourself because I can never be with someone like you, I, Asher, hereby reject you as my mate" he said with lack of emotion.

I could feel the painful sting in my chest the moment he said those words and not only was I hurt but my wolf was wounded and traumatized. Never had I thought I would be easily rejected by someone I spent two whole years loving. His voice came out loud and other students were attracted to our discussion whereas most of them began to laugh at me already.

"Why are you saying all of these to me?" My voice broke as I stared at him in dismay.

"Because I clearly can't be your mate Lenora, I regretted ever accepting to be your boyfriend at first because I felt I needed to pity you."
