Regrets After Rejection

He rejected me with a microphone in the school gym. His father approved. The whole pack witnessed. Later he found evidence it was planned—a paper trail showing I was destroyed on orders. Now he's drowning in regrets, but I'm already running the block. New moon, new rules. I'm from the block—where chains rattle in parking lots, graffiti tells the truth, and street kids know pack politics better than textbooks. He's the golden boy—captain, coach's favorite, future Alpha who does what daddy says. When the mate bond hit at that rally, I thought maybe fate was louder than rank. Instead, he walked to midcourt with a microphone and said, "I reject you." Clean. Cold. Public. While his father nodded approval from the corner. The whole school recorded. The block kids watched their girl get burned alive for entertainment. I walked out with my head up and my wolf screaming, refusing to break where everyone could see. But rejection was just the beginning. Someone left notes. Papers slipped under lockers. Documents with maps and circles and plans. Evidence that my humiliation wasn't spontaneous—it was orchestrated. By who? Why? He started digging, started finding answers that made his father's approval look less like pride and more like control. By the time he realized the truth—that he'd been a puppet in someone else's game, that I'd been sacrificed for pack politics—it was too late. Because I'd already moved on. Already started leading. Already painted "New Moon, New Rules" on the bridge and meant every word. The block kids look to me now. I keep them safe. I make sure the next girl doesn't bleed for someone's strategy. He disappeared into his regrets. I stayed and built something real.
