Defiance: The Mate's Forsaken Fate
“I wish to leave- No, I will leave" I bravely stated, my eyes looking straight at my mate, the man I thought I could finally be happy with.“I forbid you” my alpha threateningly said as he leaned in for a forceful yet passionate kiss. I tried to push him lightly but his hands took hold of my hand pushing him and encircle it to his neck. As I let myself sink to the sweetness of his lips, I felt his hand caress my cheek gently, tenderly. He then reached for my hair, stroking it as he pulled me closer further deepening this ecstatic exchange. “I would even chase you to the pits of hell if I had to… Do you seriously think I will let you leave? You won't, right love?” he said in between kisses. Intoxicated, I simply nodded earning a smirk from him. I am aware that all this – this kiss, this feeling, this bond might be a trap further endangering my peace but how can I stop when this very moment felt so comforting, warm, so… right.

Chapter: Chapter 18Dane's POV "What a great day!" I cheerfully said as I stretched out my arms and inhaled the fresh scent of this beautiful day. "I would have agreed if not for your stinking breath polluting this place" a grumpy voice from behind me suddenly uttered. I faced Sebastian and speedily reached my hand out to punch his face which of course he easily avoided. This guy always comes and ruins such a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. "I seriously just brushed my teeth!?" I bawled. "How? You are currently talking and attempting to punch me... There is also no toothbrush in sight" he sarcastically replied while putting emphasis on attempting. 'Now don't misunderstand! I'm not landing a punch because I can't but because I didn't want to! This guy is sensitive. I can't just make him question his worth as this pack's beta if I would easily beat him' "I know you are having such delusional thoughts that you are only d

Chapter: Chapter 17Sebastian's POV "This is like a cave, dude" Dane whispered beside me, and as much as I wished to disagree, I saw myself slightly nodding from his statement. Anastasia's room seems to be something that doesn't house a human or at least was not housing a human for a whole 5 years. It is dark and exceptionally well kept like no one has been using it. No sign of life, aside from the plants that at least seem to be taken care of, can be felt. This just screams gloominess. I looked at Anastasia who is now sitting in a rather uncomfortable manner on the sofa, face blank and the distinct stiffness present. 'She seems too detached from the whole room, like she doesn't belong... like she shouldn't have been here' Dane and I looked at each other, both feeling unsure of what to do from this point onwards. We are still standing near the room's door and doing nothing but observing the situation. Even the usual loud mouth of Dane is unusually s

Chapter: Chapter 16Anastasia's POV "Is she bluffing??! There is no information about rejected mates in the books I've seen. And what does she mean already rejected two? Mates are said to be extremely hard to come by!" I frustratingly pull my hair as I pace back in forth in my room. "But Rozen said that mates are a bond of forever right? So how can it be rejected? No... do I actually trust the words of that fake b*tch?" I continued to anxiously pace around the room. I don't even know nor do I understand why I am currently reacting like this. This whole overreaction isn't like me! No, actually all of these emotions whirling and causing havoc inside me are not like me at all! "Rozen told me that Camille is no one... I should probably wait for his explanation about the previous mates and put my trust in him" The trio are the only ones I personally know in this place. The only ones who seemed to actually care and give me warmth. If I would have to choo

Chapter: Chapter 15Anastasia's POV It has already been a week since I last caught sight of Rozen, even Dane, and Sebastian. One week of scornful looks from the people of the house, one week of nonstop innuendos, humiliation... one week of utter loneliness and self-loathing. The last unexplained relationship and romance, according to Dane, of Rozen and Camille have been painfully etched in my mind. The one week of not talking with each other nor even seeing each other made it much worse. I thought that this might as well be my punishment for being caught up in my own feelings. With no one to share my meals with, I requested to have them in the room Rozen gave me. I would rather be alone than be the center of everyone's hate. Another week went by with my time being spent in this jail-like room. I finally decided to just steel my mind and not give a damn what others would perceive me as I decided to walk around the manor and even read the books in the li

Chapter: Chapter 14Anastasia's POV Rozen seems to be taken aback by my question. He thought briefly and seem to decide that hiding the answer from me would be the best idea. "You might not like the answer," he said with a somewhat sad smile "How sure are you?" I asked, provoking him "Just a thought" he shrugged before standing up. "You know I won't settle for that answer" I pried more "I know" he sighed and went back to sit beside me "Us, wolves, have this concept that a person would be forever bound to someone – a mate." he started explaining "And? There seems to be no problem with that. It actually seems romantic" I uttered "Mates will feel such strong attraction to their other half – what both of us are currently feeling with each other. It is like a predestined event that ignited predestined feelings" he said, calmly observing my reaction. "So we were only forced to be attracted

Chapter: Chapter 13Anastasia's POV That single sentence seems to shake my whole strong facade. I felt how my limbs lost every strength and how my eyes seem to moisten. 'So he has someone...' That single sentence managed to hurt me as much or even worse as knowing that my father wishes for my death. 'I knew trusting and hoping would not do me any good' I heard the voices of both Dane and Sebastian but I can't seem to comprehend anything that they are saying. Nothing is going in my head aside from what I just heard from the people outside. With no more awareness of time, I don't know how long it took for me to regain my composure. I closed my eyes tightly, stabilize my breathing, and unclenched my hands. "Hey! Cutie? Camille is no one okay? It was not even finalized!" Dane frantically said "I don't really care, Dane. Thank you for the explanation though" I answered with a smile assuring him that it does not bother me
