Rejecting Your Rejection

The In-Law

'It should have been fun to meet and greet your family to be yet giving out an unwanted gesture in your

way was enough to know that your in-law isn’t even fun at all.'

"So you're engaged" his hand was in his pocket his eyes never left hers.

She already told them, just him and Carla as Cam already knew about her engagement. They continue

to chat more catching up for the last 2 years life update. Suddenly Carla has to use the restroom while

Cameron was upstairs tugging Clyde into bed.

Cameron was right when he says the Dante she knew before no longer there. He was all changed he

looks tired and restless. On top of that, he seems to be cold as if the darkness has won him over

completely. Her wolf starts to whimper at his side scolding her that their mate is still hurt.

She ignores her wolf while holding his gaze "yeah and you?" he rubs the back of his head "guess we

both are."

She couldn't tell whether he was nervous or not.

"Yeah, I guess we are" she repeated his words.

"Is he treating you well?" Daniella furrows her brow "much better than someone I know of" she

defensively retorted.

He smiles at her response "I was just asking" he raises up his hand in defense. "Whatever, I guess

everything has changed except for your jerk like attitude" she mumbles as she walks past him. Dante

held her hand back igniting the sparks between them.

Daniella felt her breath hitch, she seriously wants to turn around forget everything and pounce on him.

She saw his eyes constantly changing as if his wolf was about to come out.

"Dante" Carla came from the bathroom and Daniella wonders what took her so long. Dante

immediately let go of her hand and both of them trying to calm down.

"Hey I'm sorry but can we go home now" she held on to his elbow "what's wrong?" he pulls her close

kissing her on the lips as if Daniella wasn't even there.

"Something came up at home, Allen needs me to be home now"

"can't it wait" she giggles in his arms. "Nope but we'll have ours during the ride back" this made

Daniella cough out loudly sounded more like a growl.

"We're sorry for our behaviour but can you please let Cameron know that we're leaving. I'm really sorry

but it's urgent at home" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"it's alright I'll let him know then" she half-smile hiding a little bit of rage that starts to boil within her from

what she just witness. She bid their guest goodbye before going up upstairs to check on Cameron and

Clyde who already fell asleep on the bed. She pulls up a blanket to cover them both then turn off the

lights.

Daniella changes into her pajamas before jumping on her bed. She felt like she's been watching again,

the same feeling she got the night when she was fire from her first job. As much as she wanted to

confirm her anxiety but her eyes were too hard to be open again, drifting her off to sleep.

The loud ringtone of her phone awakens her, lazily she grabs it from the nightstand and answers it.

"Hello" she yawns "Daniella" the annoying voice made her want up to throw her phone how could she

forget her voice. The great aunt of Kiev or should she say the evil aunt in law. "I want you to meet me

at Charlie's Pastry," she rushed her words without giving any chance to Daniella to speak or see if she

was available or not.

"Don't wear heels as we have a lot to do today and don't forget to be here on time. I'll be waiting" she

ended in a high note as if she's singing a song. Daniella threw her phone across when Evelyn cut off

the line. 'How rude' she quickly took a shower and change then head down to find Cameron, Judy and

Clyde.

She skips over kissing Clyde on the forehead "Morning" she beams. "Morning" both Cameron and Judy

reply to her. She borrowed Cameron's car keys and explained where she was going and Cameron's

face was enough to know that he was still disappointed with her decisions. Then she heads out to meet

the evil aunt in law who was probably dissing her at the pastry.

"Finally you arrived, it almost took you forever"

"well I'm here now"

Evelyn rolls her eyes before going around inside the pastry pointing from here to there as if she owns it.

Daniella saw the looks on the employees' faces eyeing her skeptically and she tries to avoid it following

Evelyn who tastes the cake sample and had that gross look on her face then she snaps her finger to

another one.

The whole week with her was tortuous and she only sees little of Kiev around. It's like she was going to

marry his aunty instead of him. The attitude his aunty has was nerve-wracking and Daniella tries to be

patient even though Hani her wolf almost on the brink of breaking her bones.

When everything was settled and organised she was finally going to get a good sleep on her bed. Yet

when she thought of Evelyn telling her that the invitation went out today she groans with frustration

even more. Then suddenly she remembered she has to talk to Dante before the invitation got there.

She abruptly jumps up from her bed biting on her nails contemplating whether to call him or not. When

she was sure she runs to ask Cameron for his number before dialing it down.

He answers after one ringtone "Alpha Dante speaking" his voice never fails to clenched her insides and

send shivers to her body.

"Dante, can we talk please"
