The Pain of Rejection

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
If I did, Harry would be female and Remus would have married her instead of Nymphadora Tonks!
Chapter One: Rejected
Remus closed his eyes for a brief moment, wracked with guilt over what he was about to do.
"I'm very flattered, Layla, but I'm afraid I just don't love you that way!"
The 16 year old's eyes filled with fresh tears.
"Remus, please..." she choked out, throat clogged with tears as the agony of her mate's rejection stabbed through her like a knife.
The werewolf just shook his head sadly.
"I'm sorry, but I simply can't return your feelings."
The raven-haired girl immediately burst into tears before rushing from the room and disappearing down the corridor, causing the werewolf to feel even worse as a furious Moony threw a raging tantrum.
"Mate hurting, needs us, go to her, say sorry, tell her the truth!" his wolf raged violently.
Remus mentally huffed.
"No, Moony!" he repled firmly.
"It's too dangerous for her, we need to keep her safe!"
Moony whined miserably.
"Mate hurting..." the wolf pleaded desperately and Remus sighed heavily.
"I know, Moony, but it's for her own good..."
Author's Note: So, I've been meaning to post this for a couple months now, but never got around to doing it until today!
Anyway, Merry Christmas, wherever you are!
