CHAPTER THREE

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Myra took a deep breath, her left palm resting on her heart. She was beyond shaken, destroyed. She hadn't expected any of this at all. Nothing she had been through would have prepared her for the day she finds out that her mate has a lover.

All the dreams she had ever had of ever finding her mate were shattered. She would never be the same again and she knew it. But what could she do? Whatever decision she made she seemed to always end up in pain.

She let her lips curve up into a small smile when she recalled her dreams of having a mate and even a family.

Oh it was painful, she discovered, to loose what you have always dreamed of without even actually having it.

She would survive, she had to. First, she had to find out how and why he had a mate , then she would take it from there. Surely there had to be an explanation.

"Why..."

"Listen, you can't tell anyone that we are mates. " He warned looking dead serious.

If she thought the feeling of rejection she had received when they had first met was anything, she was wrong. This one little statement tormented her more than the six years of captivity she had endured.

"Why?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She raised her gaze to meet his and saw the look of disgust in his eyes. With a new found determination, she raised her voice."Why must i hide it, you are my mate and i ..."

"You are not my mate.'Once again he cut her off and she realized just how rude he was. But she didn't realize that he had rejected her again.

"I can feel the matebond and i know you can too. Why are you denying it?" It took all the courage she could master to mutter the words out loud.

"I don't need a mate, i need a queen and you cannot be my queen. This pack needs a strong Luna and you are..." the look of disgust he gave her is what made a lone tear run down her cheeks.

Did he really despise her so much? So much that he would rather have someone else as the luna rather than his mate? She had heard stories about how wolves who have found their mates cannot live normal lives. They are forever bound to their mates and the death of a mate leads to the suffering and death of the partner.

She had witnessed how strong her parents bond had been and how they had loved each other, the same kind of relationship she had always wanted. Then she looked at the man before her and made a decision.

She wasn't going to let go. In stead she was going to fight for him, for their bond, after all she had nothing to loose.

" I won't hide it . I will fight for our bond till my last breath. After all, i have nothing to lose."She told him, looking straight into his eyes.
