Rejected My Jaded Love Novel – Eric never liked you, he just wanted to sleep with you. He was just supposed to bring you straight here and get you to start drinking, but then he changed it to take you out before you came to the party. Did you sleep with him for getting you a meal, you fat pig? Huh, did you? I should have known food would be the way to get you out of your panties. How could anyone think that Eric would want you over me! I will be his Luna, you are nothing! I was with him when he would call you at night. We would have intercourse and then he would call you and we would lay in bed and laugh at how stupid you were to think he could like you. M.I.T. you will never be anything. You are such an idiot!” Danica roars at me. She kept hitting me and pulling my hair as she was screaming at me, and no one tried to stop her.
How did I get so lucky? For the last month, Eric Taylor has been walking me to my classes and being so sweet to me. I cannot believe that I would be getting Eric’s attention, especially since his ex-girlfriend Danica Evans is the co-captain of the cheerleading squad and beautiful. He is the quarterback of our football team and one of the cutest guys at our school. I am hoping that it is because we are mates as he turned 18 a month ago and I will be turning 18 in 2 weeks, so maybe we are mates? Eric is the soon-to-be Alpha & will be taking over the pack once he finds his mate. Eric is 6’4”, with short, wavy black hair, he has hazel eyes with beautiful green flecks in them & has a killer 8 pack, probably from playing football and training so much.
My name is Jade Devoe, and I live in the Howling Wolf Pack, in Tombstone, AZ. My brother, Jeremy Devoe, is the soon-to-be Gamma of this pack & will be working under Eric. Jeremy is already 18 and a senior in school. I am a senior as well, but that is because I have an IQ of 145, so I skipped a grade to graduate a year early. I wanted out of this pack ASAP, as I have been bullied my whole life. My own brother and parents allow it, and my brother even participates in it. My mom didn’t want us in the same grade, so I didn’t start school until I was 6. Jeremy will be turning 19 in two months. Well, until a month ago, that is. Then it all stopped when Eric started talking to me and taking me to my classes. Eric is now escorting me to the cafeteria for lunch, but I am not looking forward to sitting with the “in” crowd. Although they haven’t picked on me recently, I have residual scars from this hateful group, so I don’t trust them, but I am willing to be nice to them to be with Eric.
Some of the group are already sitting at the table as Eric & I approach. Eric asks me to go grab him lunch; a cheeseburger, fries & a drink, as he sits down to talk to his Beta & Gamma. I am happy to do it and hurry to get him his food. As I stood in line, I heard the group talking and laughing. I glance over to see what is going on and notice that the table is now completely full. My eyes narrowed as I saw Danica sitting right next to Eric and leaning in towards him, speaking into his ear. Danica is 5’10” with streaked, long blonde hair (totally from a bottle) and hazel eyes. Tall and slim, she looks great in everything with her hourglass figure. My jealousy flairs, even though we are not “officially” dating or anything, I really like Eric and I again hope that we are mates. I ordered a salad for myself with grilled chicken as I have been trying to eat better for the last month. I am over 80 lbs. overweight, even at 5’11” tall. I weigh 240, but I should weigh around 150. I am a solid size 16, but I have a curvy body & a beautiful face. My best friend, Nicole Morris, is a platinum blonde with grey-blue eyes.
She is turning 18 next month and is still looking for her mate. She is a size 10 and looks perfect with her hourglass curves. She moved here a little over 2 years ago and defends me every time she sees the group picking on me. She is a werewolf-like me and got to change when she turned 18. My other friend, Jessica Flores, is beautiful with her wavy brown hair & beautiful brown eyes. She is petite at 5’5” and is not a werewolf, as we go to a human & werewolf school. I was not allowed to tell her about us, and we are not allowed to turn at school, so none of the humans suspect any of us to be werewolves. Jessica already knew about werewolves though, because she dated one at her last school, and he told her. I pay for Eric’s food & place it on my tray with my salad & bottle of water. I noticed they stopped talking as I approached the table.
I gave Eric his food & then looked around to find a seat, as the table was completely full. Danica looks at me with a smirk & says “why are you still here, why don’t you go find your loser friends?” Sophia starts laughing and says “about time you started eating a salad. You are so fat, if I looked like you, I would probably kill myself”. The group laughs until Eric tells them to shut up. “Jade, you can sit right here next to me,” Eric tells me. My heart skips a beat as he is giving me the seat that Danica is currently sitting in, as he looks into Danica’s eyes. Danica slowly gets up and as she passes me, she hits my tray, knocking my food and water bottle to the floor. “Look where you are going you stupid, fat girl.” Danica says. Sophia gets up along with Claire and they both look at me trying to clean up the mess all over the floor, laughing as they walk away with Danica.
The guys don’t offer to help me, and Eric starts eating his food. I threw the mess that is now all over my tray into the trash & went over to get another bottle of water to tide me over, as the other water bottle busted when it hit the floor. We head out to our next class and Eric says that he wants to ask me a question after school. I forget about my hunger and get excited about what he wants to ask. I told him that I would meet him by my motorcycle after school. — At 3:00 pm I approach my bike on the school lot. I heard light footsteps approaching and turned around to see Jessica and Nicole approach me. “What are your plans this weekend?” Nicole asked me. “I don’t have any plans yet, but I am hoping I will have one when Eric comes out to talk to me. He is supposed to be here any second, he wanted to ask me something”. I said to them. “Jade, I really wish you hadn’t hung out with him.
He is a jerk, and I cannot believe that you would trust him at all”, Jessica said. Nicole pipes up “He has never defended you and has allowed you to be assaulted at school. He is the soon-to-be Alpha, he is supposed to protect his pack members, not abuse them. He can’t say that he didn’t know, as his girlfriend and his little group of friends are the main people that bully you”. “Excuse me,” Eric says from right behind us. “I know you bitches weren’t talking about me like that”. His face is angry, and I don’t like how he is looking at me. I didn’t say anything at all. Why is he so mad at me? I looked towards Eric scared, as he had Jeremy, Kyle & Michael with him. The four of them, towering over us. I know that Jeremy doesn’t really need an excuse to hit me, and mom and dad would not be defending me if he did. I hoped that Eric wouldn’t just walk away because of what my friends said about him. I then go to try to smooth it over by saying “they were just joking, Eric. I know you would never deliberately hurt me.
Please don’t be mad at them. They are just worried about me.” “What did you want to talk to me about?” I asked him. “Would you go to the party at Calvin’s house this coming Friday with me? His parents are out of town, and we are all going.” I was so excited and could not stop the “Yes!” that sprang from my lips. I was finally going out on a date with Eric. My friends looked at each other and back at me with worried expression on their faces. I know that they didn’t want me to go, but I know him better than they do, and he is so sweet to me these days. I know that he won’t hurt me. The guys started walking away after my answer, with Eric calling back to me over his shoulder “I will pick you up at 7 pm for the party. See you tomorrow at school”. I look at my friends and squeal before asking them if they will help me go to Goodwill to find a dress. For this date I am willing to go into my savings, to find a special dress. Nicole & Jessica look at each other and then nod. I know that they are doubtful, but he has been so sweet and stopped the others from picking on me. I put my helmet on and drove off the school lot. I am really excited about my first date. I am feeling happy for the upcoming weekend and hope that we end up being mates.
Friday is finally here. I am excited about the party night. I’ve asked my friends to come over to help me with my makeup in advance, as I don’t usually wear any. They are both beautiful and great at doing makeup, so I know I am in good hands. Maybe if I look pretty enough Eric will ask me out again, and I might be getting my first smooch if the date goes well. At 5 pm, Jessica and Nicole show up at my house and went up to my room. My mom would acknowledge Nicole, but she doesn’t ever speak to Jessica. Mom believes that humans are beneath us. I know my parents are disappointed in me because of my extra weight and the fact that I am bullied and haven’t stood up for myself. But my tormenters are always backed up by the boys in the group. I had already taken my shower when Nicole & Jessica arrived, and I was ready for them to do my hair and makeup. As they get started, they both ask me again to come with them to the movies tonight and blow off the date with Eric. “You two just don’t know him as well as I do. I speak to him for 20 minutes each night. He supports my dream of going to college at M.I.T. and he thinks that I am pretty. He has said so several times. I think he knows that we are mates, so he broke up with Danica.
He takes me to my classes and lunch, and he defends me against the people in his group now. I think he has really changed”. Nicole looks at me with sad eyes and says “Jade, if he was your mate, he would have been all over you by now. You wouldn’t be waiting for your first smooch, because he would have been smooching you this whole month. He doesn’t take you to lunch, because YOU are paying for his lunch, he just walks you to the cafeteria. You spend your hard-earned tip money on his lunch. I don’t want to hurt you Jade, but I saw him with Danica at the end of the hallway after school today and they were smooching each other. They were intense about it. When he saw me, they broke apart and went in separate directions. I just don’t want you to be hurt. You are so sweet and innocent, I don’t want you to get heartbroken. Just wait a week until you turn 18, then you will know if he is your mate or not. A week is not a long time, there is no harm in waiting for Jade”. The girls are now finished, and I am early and ready at 645 pm. I cannot decide if I want to go with them or not tonight.
I am doubting Eric right now, as logic is winning over my fickle heart. Nicole has never lied to me, and I believe her when she says that she saw Eric and Danica smooching in the hallway. I am about to tell them that I am going to go with them when the doorbell rings. He is early. I can’t get out of it now. I tell them both that I will call them if anything happens, as I now have a bad feeling about tonight. Nicole and Jessica both assure me that they will be there for me if I need them. They decide to cancel the movie plans and that they will be going to hang out near Calvin’s house, just in case I need them. They are truly my best friends, and I don’t know what I would do without them. “Well, at least you look stunning tonight. No one will be able to make fun of you in that dress. You look like a goddess in it”, Nicole said. Jessica blows out a breath and says “I have never seen you wearing makeup before, and you are truly gorgeous. I don’t think that Eric will be able to take his eyes off you”. I turned to look in the mirror, and I was surprised to see my reflection. My eyes are smokey and it brings out the green in them.
My hair had been pulled back from my face with the front half of my hair in half up-do with the rest of my hair curled into beautiful waves running down my back. My jade green bodycon dress is off my shoulders with a sweetheart neckline and was ruched down the dress from the shoulders to my knees. The gatherings discretely hid some of my extra weight. Because it is February, I had gotten a dress with long sleeves, and the dress was gathered from my shoulders to my knees, making it pretty but still classy. They were right, I did look beautiful. Time to grab a black wrap for my shoulders and leave with Eric. I was now a little less nervous and anticipating a wonderful night with Eric. Who knows, this could end up being the best night of my life. I was wrong.
As I came downstairs, I noticed that Eric was speaking quietly to my brother in the corner of the room. He didn’t notice me until I was halfway down the stairs, and he suddenly stopped speaking to watch me come down the rest of the stairs. Jeremy was confused and turned to see why Eric has stopped talking and I almost laughed seeing him with his mouth dropping open at my appearance. Eric stepped quickly away from Jeremy and walked towards me with a smile on his face. “You look beautiful,” Eric said. “Thank you, you look handsome yourself,” I told him. Eric looked slowly down my outfit and then back up again, his eyes filled with lust as he went to check me out again. I was blushing at the attention he was giving me. Jeremy then coughed to break up the sudden tension in the room. I know I would be seeing my brother at the party.
Eric escorted me out to his new blue Chevrolet Z71 Silverado and helped me climb inside in my dress. He placed his left hand on my thigh, as he leaned in to buckle my seat belt for me. Smelling his musky cologne was speeding my heart up, or it could be his hand laying on my thigh still. I looked into his eyes and noticed his eyes flickering back and forth from their regular hazel color to black, as he warred with his wolf. He took me to have a fine dinner. And twenty minutes later we pulled up at the Beta’s home. We sat in the truck for a minute after we arrived, and Eric kept looking over at me. I smiled at him and asked “do you want to go in now? Eric smiled at me and asked if he could smooch me. This was it! I was going to get my first smooch. I smiled and nodded at him. Eric pushed the divider between our seats up and smiled at me. I smiled shyly at him, and Eric curved his right hand around my waist and pulled me towards him. He then leaned in closer to me. “You look beautiful, I really didn’t expect you to look so nice tonight Jade,” Eric said to me. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I nervously licked my lips. Eric glanced down at my mouth and slowly lowered his head to give me my smooch.
His soft lips touched mine and after a short time, he nipped my bottom lip. I gasped and opened my mouth to him, and he took that opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth. I reached my hands up and wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my chest into his chest. Eric then moaned into my mouth, and I felt a tightening in my lower abdomen, and I was anticipating this going farther, as we continued the passionate smooch. Eric deepened the smooch and I moved even closer to Eric. He took his left hand and placed it on my knee. He waited a moment to gauge my reaction to his hand on me, before he started to move it up from my knee to my thigh and then higher, as he moved towards my panties. His right hand came from around my waist to slide up and touch the side of my left chest. I started to get overwhelmed with all that was going on and broke off the smooch. I wasn’t ready to go any further with Eric, other than us smooching tonight. “What is the problem? I thought that you liked me?” Eric asked, his voice a little husky. His phone had been pinging text messages the last few minutes, and the moment was now passed. I wasn’t comfortable in his truck anymore.
