We stood frozen in our place; I don't know what to think any more. I know my mate must be feeling bad because he trusted his father to support him. He was sure that his father would never do anything against his will, but now he has made it clear that he would never accept me as his son's mate. I was worried about what would happen next, I know when we take over after our parents it would mean we are carrying our legacy, it breaks my heart every time I recall how my coven must be waiting for me to just that, and now because of me, my mate has to choose between me and his legacy. I think I am cursed because I lost my parents and I was stuck for the last eight years with a pack who made me a slave thinking I am human, then I found my mate who happens to be the future Alpha of this pack, and he is given a tough choice.
"What will we do now?" I whispered slowly, it was enough to grab his attention and he looked down at me
"I honestly don't know Mia" he answered, my name
Jared I was very happy because I was going home after years. I love my family and pack, I am sure mom must be really very excited knowing I am coming home. I am happy to meet everyone, but I am even more excited to meet my mate. I have a feeling that I will find my mate this time, I have waited for a long time. I reached earlier than I realized I would, I thought I would reach some time after lunch, but I reached before it was time for lunch. I parked my car, and happily walked inside the pack house. As soon as I reached the living room, I caught the most amazing scent I have ever smelt. I instantly knew it was my mate, words weren't enough to explain how happy I am, I followed the scent, it led me to the kitchen, I thought I arrived before lunch but the food was already set on the dining table, and it smelt delicious, I saw a few pack members saw me and greeted me happily. I nodded my head in response because I was barely able to concentrate on their words. I walked to the
Ruby "I Alpha Jared Kevin Black of the Night Howlers pack reject you Ruby Mia Storm as my mate and Luna" he said and tears streamed down our eyes, he placed a kiss on my forehead before walking away from the terrace, leaving me alone I stood there crying, I didn't know what else to do, the only hope I had was my mate. I thought I would get the love I have craved all these years from my mate. I know it's not his fault, I know he chose to leave his happiness and take responsibility to keep his pack safe, he didn't want to let his father down, but what about me? Will I never get happiness in my entire life? I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't stop my tears. My mate said he loved me, but he had to leave and reject me. I know my tears will break his heart, but I wasn't able to control them. I was in pain because I lost the only thing I have been waiting for from the last eight years. I closed my eyes letting my tears flow till nothing was left, I wiped my face as I stood
I don't know how long it has been. I wanted to rest, but I couldn't catch a minute’s sleep. I was disturbed with how things had turned out, the only thing that went through my mind was where my mate was. I was worried if he would really agree to Alpha Black and move on leaving me behind, but then I remembered his words before he rejected me, he said there would never be another woman in his life, he said the same thing to Alpha Black as well. I thought if there was any way, I could get my mate to accept me back as his mate, but I don't know if that works with werewolves. I have spent eight years with them, but I don't know a lot about their mating process, and I certainly didn't know that rejection was also an option. Maybe if I can contact Aiden, he can tell the pack that I am truly a supernatural being, just without any power. I thought that would at least make Alpha Black accept me as his son's mate, I sighed as I was tired of the battle in my mind and I walked to the window.
As soon as I jumped off the mountain, I felt a change in the air, I felt like I was floating, I felt a change within me. I felt light, my head started spinning and I felt dizzy. Everything was weird, I never experienced anything as such, it felt like I was being released from a cage. I wondered if this is what the afterworld feels, but I never experienced any pain, I never felt I collided with the ground or water for that matter. I slowly looked down to see I was several feet above the water, a gasp left my mouth, I didn't know what was happening, I moved my hands to see light illuminating from them, everything was strange. I shaked my hand moving it in different directions to make the light disappear, that instead made the water to move and it drenched me. I was shocked, I only knew myself to be a powerless witch and now all of a sudden, I had powers, it had to be powers, what other reason could make things so strange. The light illuminating from my hands started spreading
Jared After walking away from the terrace, I spent my entire day in my room. I knew I hurt her and I wanted to run back to her and tell her everything. But I knew that dad will have people keeping an eye at me, and everything I speak will be reported to him, I didn't want to risk losing my mate forever, so I did what I thought was right, my wolf has been silent all this while, I know it's because he wanted to be with our mate. I just wanted this Alpha ceremony to be done quickly so I can announce my mate as my Luna the next day. I sighed as I looked at the time, it was time to get ready for the ceremony, I groaned internally, I just wanted to lie down in bed with my mate in my arms. I hated every second I had to stay away from her, especially now that I know she is just below my floor. I got down from bed and forced myself to walk to the bathroom. I took a quick shower trying to wash away the tiredness from my journey. I was honestly exhausted, and I blamed my father
I woke up to the sun peeking into my bedroom through the window, I groaned still feeling exhausted. My eyes snapped open as I felt moving besides, I stayed up on my bed startled as I turned to look at the moving figure. My eyes widened as I saw Bethy the bitch beside me, I tried to recall how she ended up in my bed, I remember coming back from the party and immediately falling asleep, so what the hell is she doing here. I looked down to see I was naked with sheets covering my lower body, the anger I felt at this moment was unbearable. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I growled and she woke up startled fear clearly visible on her face, she tried her best to cover it "Baby, do you not remember, we came back together from the party, you said you were going to announce me as your Luna today" she said in her bitchy voice "Cut the crap Bethy, I know very well that nothing could have happened between us. I wasn't drunk like last time to believe your lie. You have
Ruby I wouldn't have known how long it has been since I left the Night Howlers pack if it wasn't for the direction of the sun and moon. It took me a total of three days to reach my coven. I would have taken longer if I hadn't found some of my coven members on the way back home, it wasn't easy to walk back home, especially when there were so many packs and covens around. I was worried, to say the least, because if I had been in any difficult situation and if my powers started coming to surface then I wouldn't have been able to control them. I don't even know what powers I had, I sighed pushing the thoughts behind. I was tired with so many things going through my mind, it was either my powers or my mate. Aiden has made sure I was comfortable, he left me alone to rest so I can tell him later about what happened all these years. Strangely enough, I realized that the little scars I had have disappeared from my body as if they were never there. My skin has become paler tha
"I'll explain" he said and I waited for him to tell me what happened "You are one of the strongest witches in our life, there is only who is born everything hundred years" he said and I nodded my head trying to process what he said "How do you know if I am the strongest one?" I asked and he smiled "Witches as strong as you are born with protectors to make sure you are safe. Every witch like you was either killed or taken when they were young" he said my eyes widened "What?" I asked shocked, why would someone kill or take someone just because they are strong "Yes, the world we live in is a cruel world" he said looking at me with sad eyes "Then how am I not taken?" I asked confused "It was because we were already aware of who you are as soon as you were born, from what I heard from mom and dad, they say you are the strongest one so far. No one had the kind of aura you do; you carried that aura since birth" he replied "Is
Jared We always knew we had this war coming, we also knew it was going to be soon, but we didn't know it was going to be this soon. We were supposed to take the rest of the afternoon to rest after the protection spell Anna made the witches perform. We weren't shocked, just we didn't expect it to be so soon, the war went on for hours, it was almost time for the sun to set when the war came to an end. We didn't realize that Darrius didn't have his witches and could have been hiding them. I saw everything after we ripped the rogue Vampire King's heart out. One of the older witches threw something at Mia, I was running towards her to save her as he had her focus on Darrius. I was far away and before I could have reached her Anna came in the way and took the blow, his screams brought Mia's attention, which was trying to attack again and this time I let anger channel through my energy and flames erupted around the witches as they screamed in agony. Soon Mia threw D
We were running towards the pack borders because we knew our enemy wouldn't be able to enter our lands. However, we were sure he would try to break the protection spell we have, that was also one of the reasons we performed the spell separately on each part of our coven and pack. Anna was running behind us, and we met with Aiden, Alpha Black, my uncle and the remaining men from our family as soon as we made it to the living room. Anna's husband was there too, I couldn't see our woman so I realized Aiden must have sent them to the safe house. We didn't need to speak, we knew what was happening and what each of us were supposed to do. Justin, our Beta has been throwing orders through the mindlink. I knew everyone would have been aware of what because I could see everyone from our allied packs and covens already standing in front of our mansion. We made it out to see our warriors all ready for the battle, we looked at the leaders of our allies and nodded at them before we all r
Ruby Even with the war approaching soon the last few weeks have been amazing, we thought I was sick, but apparently it was heat approaching. My heat lasted for a week. Jared hasn't left me alone at all, he would call and ask for the staff to send the food or anything we need to our room. He collected it at the door. He has been amazing, I have been a needy, horny bitch and he did everything to satisfy me, he gave me everything I wanted. I really am the happiest woman walking this earth to have a mate like him, I sighed trying to get myself to move. We are happy to have our family and friends with us during these tough times, not long after my heat, we found out that Layla was pregnant with their first child. Well, more like children, they are having twins. I am really happy for them, Aiden is over the moon with the news that he is going to be a father. Mel has been out of the hospital and when she came back, she found her mate too, he is the head warrior of our pack.
Jared A lot has happened over the last few months, it's been a rollercoaster ride, I know Mia is affected the most in everything that has happened. We are getting ready to face our enemy, we are getting stronger day by day. We are not there quite yet, but we will be there. We are taking one step at a time. I am grateful to the Moon Goddess for letting us find Melina at the right time, I know Mia wouldn't have been able to forgive herself if anything were to happen. The last few days have been tough, we have been doing some intense training, but Mia has been sick, she didn't let that stop her from continuing to train. I was thankful to have a day off with my mate, we barely spend time together, especially now that she was sick, she could get some much-needed rest. However, for some reason, I wasn't able to keep my hands off of her, it's not like I usually do, but the last couple of days I was feeling the need to be with her all the time. It didn't help that she was ma
It has been a stressful couple of weeks, we have been training as much as we can only taking breaks to eat and sleep. Anna made sure we did, she said we can't be our one hundred percent if we don't eat and sleep, I understand and I also knew not to argue with her when she is determined about something. Jared tried and got his ass beat by Anna, we laughed as he pouted saying it was not fair, Anna had made sure we didn't worry too much, she is truly an angel. My mate might not say it but I know that he loves her a lot and will do anything for her. The last couple of days have been very difficult for me, I feel strange and I want Jared with me all the time. I have to say, I have one horny wolf because she keeps sending images and thoughts making me want to jump our mate. I try to push all the weird thoughts aside, reminding myself that I can't think of anything but the war, I have to make sure we are ready to face our enemy, I can't let myself get distracted. However, I have be
We headed back home immediately after our conversation with Mel so that she could rest. I had a lot of things going on in my head, we had to explain everything to our family and Anna once we were back home. Anna sat quietly as if something was going on in her mind, she was friends with my parents so I know this affected her more than she wanted to show, but at this moment I could tell it was something else. She looked disturbed and it worried me a lot. We have come closer in the time we have spent together, she loves me like a daughter and she is like a mother to me. I sighed as I tried to give her the space she needed as she was thinking about something hard, it must be something important to have her think about it so much. Soon her facial expression changed, it looked like she was confused and soon her confused expression changed to one of understanding as if she just realized something, and before I could ask her eyes widened as she gasped in shock grabbing everyone's at
It has been a few days since we found Mel almost dead, it has made us more determined to defeat our enemy. Jared and Aiden were right, whatever has happened in the past or is happening in the present was not any of our fault. We didn't ask for any of this, Darrius was a power-hungry creature and he would go to any level to make sure he gets what he wants. I would be damned if I let him win, he has hurt way too many people, he didn't deserve to stay another day on earth. He was clearly past redemption. Mel was so close to death and it was all because of him, we could have lost her if we were even a second. Jared made me lie on the hospital bed while we waited for the doctors and healers to treat Mel, I wasn't able to even blink my eyes for a second, not until I knew my friend was alright. I was only able to relax and take a breath of relief once the doctors informed us Mel was out of danger but she was put in a medically induced coma so she could heal faster. I just walked ou
Ruby As soon as we reached the borders the sight in front of us made me freeze in place, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and I felt my knees go weak and my legs gave out making me fall to the ground. My head was spinning when I saw Melina's bloodied body. I can't help but blame myself for her condition, she wasn't moving, not even breathing which made me break. I couldn't stop my tears as they kept flowing down my cheeks, I felt Jared pick me up in his arms trying to calm me down, but I couldn't think of anything other than blaming myself for losing my friend and coven member. She was the first one to become friends with me after I returned home, she was the one who was ready to put her life at risk for me, and what did I do? I put my friend in danger, I wasn't able to protect her, she trusted me and I let her down. I failed, I not only failed myself but the trust my parents, my family and coven members had in me. I heard voices around me but I couldn't compreh
It has been a while since we have been in this meeting. We were planning training and how to best secure our borders. Some of the warriors from a few covens and packs have decided to camp out near the woods so they would be able to help the border patrol in case of an emergency. I really appreciate all the efforts and support these people are putting in to help us. I know we have enough support to defeat our enemy, but it still worries me because there will be a lot of lives on the line. I don't want to risk these many lives but I am really helpless at the moment. If I could, I would have made sure to keep everyone away from harm's way, but unfortunately enough, that is not the case, I sighed pushing the thoughts away trying to focus on the discussion. Jared gave my hand a reassuring squeeze, his mere touch is enough to bring me comfort and I couldn't be more grateful for having him as my mate. I couldn't have asked for a better mate, I just want everyone to stay safe, the t
