Alana’s POV.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror one more time, satisfied that I looked decent enough to attend the monthly pack meeting.

I couldn’t wait to tell Nathan the good news, my heart beat a little faster with every second that ticked by.

I envisioned his reaction when I finally got to tell him, his shocked look and then he would kiss me until my lips would be swollen and I would get breathless from lack of oxygen.

I shook myself off from those thoughts, a blush stained and my face warmed up as I thought of our moments together.

I walked as fast I could to the location the pack members gathered for the monthly pack meeting.

I smiled when I noticed Nathan, as the Alpha he was surrounded by the pack’s werewolves and he talked to everyone who walked to him. It was obvious how late I was for the meeting.

Walking closer to him, I tugged on his shirt, calling his attention to my presence. He turned to me with an unreadable expression on his face.

He shrugged my hand off, his expression still unreadable.

“I need to talk to you.” I managed a smile but my voice came out slightly muffled and weak.

He stepped away from me, my heart pounded with every step he took away from

me.

I gaped at him, wondering what was going on, I could hear subtle whispers from the pac members and it made me feel like I missed a big announcement because I came late.

The air around me started to chill.

His aura darkened and it suddenly became harder to breathe.

“I reject you as my mate and the Luna of the pack.” Nathan announced in a booming voice. He gave me a bored look, the disdain on his face obvious as he pushed me away from him when I walked closer.

My whole body froze, the air was so heavy and tense that it felt like it would explode soon if someone just breathed too much.

No one spoke. No one moved. The only thing audible was the beating of my own heart in my ears.

I couldn’t believe what he just said, I blinked  twice. “What did you say?” My voice squeaked, barely managing to reach the end of my sentence, I didn’t even know I could sound so small and terrified.

Nathan scoffed, his nostrils flared and his eyes flickered with annoyance, his eyebrows furrowed with anger. “I reject you as my mate.” He repeated himself slower and louder this time.

My hands trembled as I tried to clutch them together. I stared at my mate, the man I planned my future together with, the man who took my virginity while we mated a month ago, tears spilled from my eyes.

Nathan’s jaw clenched tightly as the rest of the pack watched us, his face remained impassive as I stumbled backward, unable to take another step towards him, my chest heaved with sobs.

My heart broke, broken into a million tiny pieces, my mind started screaming at me that it wasn’t real, it couldn't happen, that it was all part of my imagination. 

A searing pain from the broken bond suddenly shot through me. A sharp stabbing sensation that made my entire body shake.

The pain intensified again, the burning intensity slowly subsided until it eventually disappeared completely and I dropped my head.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

“Why?” I managed to  whisper, my voice quivering with emotion. It was clear that no matter how hard I tried to stop the tears I failed miserably. “Why now?”

He stared at me, his eyes were empty, exposing nothing. 

“You have no right to question my decision.” He replied.

“The meeting is over and every announcement that should be made, has been made.” He added before walking away with his Beta.

I suddenly heard whispers, every pack member available began to murmur amongst themselves again.

I kept silent as I cleaned the tears that streamed down my face and my vision blurred with unshed tears.

“I can’t believe she thought she’ll get the chance to be the Luna.” A voice said, a mocking tone laced its voice. The words made something inside me snap, my body stiffened with anger as I wiped my tears. 

I tried to walk away, but I was too embarrassed to move, and my legs seemed to be frozen.

I stood there, unmoving. As I stood there watching Nathan’s retreating back, I thought about his earlier statement and behavior.

A knot formed in my stomach when I recalled how Nathan rejected me in front of them, how cruel it was and how it made my heart burn.

I couldn’t take it anymore, I couldn’t hold the pain any longer, the overwhelming emotion threatened to drown me.

I forced myself to move, trying to find a quiet place to cry out heartache.

“Look at how pathetic she is.” Another voice mocked me, another person walked past me.

I clenched my fists, holding back the urge to scream at someone.

I was used to their weird treatment of me, and how they normally made fun of me, but I couldn’t handle the ridicule at the moment. It made me more upset than I already was, my eyes stung with unshed tears and I felt helpless. I bit my lower lip to keep my sobbing at bay.

My breathing got ragged, my heart beat so loudly in my chest that I knew it must have been noticeable.

I could feel my body shaking violently with the force of my cries, I didn’t know if my body or my spirit wanted to collapse onto the ground, maybe both.

“Weird weakling.” One of the powerful Gammas of the pack who made it her hobby to embarrass me often, shoved me, making me stumble, I groaned in pain as her sharp claws pierced my hands. 

I managed to walk past her after minutes of torture and mockery from her.

When I finally reached a quiet corner, I collapsed on the floor, hugging my knees close to my body, trying to calm down.

Slowly, I regained control over my breathing and body. My mind stopped racing as much, my heart stopped thudding against my chest with fear. 

I yelled when hands patted my back, I snapped my head up, fear making my heart pound as I stared at the source of the touch.

    Alana’s POV.I stared at my best friend and a sigh escaped my mouth as I realized it wasn’t a stranger who touched me earlier.“Hi Aurora.” I sniffled, not bothering to wipe the tear from my face.“I heard what happened, I walked out to get something and I came back and everyone was talking about it.” She frowned, reaching out for my hand.My body was numb, but I didn’t pull away when she took my hand in hers, instead staring at our joined hands and the way they looked like an old friendship bracelet.She pulled me up, “I’m sorry that happened,” She whispered. “Are you okay though?” I shrugged, “I mean, I feel numb, but I guess I’ll be okay. It hurts really bad though.”“You should try and talk to him later.” She suggested, a weird smile appeared on her face. A smile I had never seen before.I paused, and stared at her for a while, confused and wondering if I imagined the gleeful smile I saw , “I will do that… I guess…”She dropped me at my room and I walked in, still feeling hurt

    Alana’s POV.I paused immediately as I walked into the pack’s garden, hurt and irritation made me pause at the scene in front of me, the plan to clear my head in the garden, vanished immediately as I stared at Aurora and Nathan.“I’ve missed you.” Aurora murmured, kissing Nathan.“You saw me last night.” He replied, they kissed like they needed each other to breathe.I couldn’t take it anymore, everything that happened two days ago and right now was too unbearable for me.I stared at Aurora and Nathan, and my wolf began pacing, getting more erratic with each second. The pain that came from the realization of what had happened to me started spreading through me again.I tried to ignore the feeling of suffocation, as I looked away from Aurora and Nathan.But it didn’t work, everything felt unbearable, like a million needles piercing through my heart, trying to get out of me. My breathing got deeper, but no matter how much I tried I could not calm down my wolf. The sensation grew more

    Alana’s POV.“Who are you?” I asked fearfully, my heart hammering in my chest and the back of my neck prickling with apprehension at this tall stranger. He was a handsome man,his lips were curled into an unreadable frown and he held up a hand to stop any further questions from me.His aura looked like that of an alpha, there was always an air around them, and he had that same look of authority about him that was common among Alphas. “I should ask you that.” He said, his voice deep and resonant. It sent shivers running down my spine at the sound of it, making my skin prickle with goosebumps.“I’m within my pack and you seem like a trespasser.” I managed to spit out. I took in a quick breath, trying to steady myself and calm my nerves down. He looked amused. “So, what is your business here?”He let out a low chuckle, “I came for a little visit, but I’ll be going right away.”“Can I join you?” I blurted out before I could stop myself.The man cocked an eyebrow, his gaze flicking from

    Alana’s POV.“I’ll be leaving the pack today, I came to say my goodbyes.” I said, the words leaving my mouth quickly.The whole hall was deadly silent, the atmosphere growing tense. They stared at me in shock, jaws dropping, eyes wide and mouths gaping open.I gulped. I didn’t know whether to feel proud of myself or terrified out of my wits. I felt like I would lose my nerve and run away if I stayed any longer. “Why should we care?” Aurora demanded angrily. Her tone was dripping with derision and scorn. I bit my lip in irritation because I knew it would do no good to start arguing with her.“I don’t know why you think making a fuss about leaving will make us care.” Aurora added with a smirk, I knew she was trying to goad my reaction.Her face fell when she realized I wasn’t going to answer her.“She thinks she’s important.” One of Aurora’s new friends said with disgust on her face.“Right.” Aurora agreed sarcastically, before turning to me again and saying, “You just don’t want to

    Nathan’s POV.*****A Day Before Alana’s Rejection*****I smirked when I thought of Alana, our moments together replayed in my head as if it was yesterday. The day I decided that she’d be mine and no one else’s. My lips pressed into a soft smile as my fingers trailed gently over my shirt, the one she wore after our night together.I couldn’t wait to announce to the pack that she would be their Luna soon.A knock on the door drew my attention away from my reflection in the mirror. The knock sounded again this time more urgent and impatient. My eyebrows furrowed slightly as I quickly pulled my hands back into the front pocket of my pants. I took my time walking towards the door, “Who is it?”“Good morning Alpha Nathan.” The seer bowed respectfully. Her eyes were full of worry which made me immediately uneasy.I nodded, “What’s the matter?”She swallowed nervously, “Your… your mate is…”“My mate is what?.” I demanded , my voice becoming increasingly louder as panic set in, “Is something

    Alana’s POV.***5 years later***“Mom, can I get a new ball?” Liam asked, as he ran towards me with a torn ball, his shirt covered in dirt and grass stains from playing on the yard. “You’ve ruined your new ball.” I faked a glare at him, before reaching out my hand for the ball he held. He looks and behaves exactly like his father, I sighed as I ignored the slight pang in my heart.“Won’t I get another one?” He pouted , “please please mom,” he whined and pleaded as if there was no tomorrow. I chuckled softly, shaking my head.“I just need to have another one. Please mom!” He pleaded, I raised my eyebrows as he stared at me with his puppy dog eyes, even when they were grey just like his father. He looked so cute when he did that. His dark hair was sticking out messily and it was slightly messy because he had dirt all over his face, but his eyes shone brightly. “Okay, but only this time.” I smiled back at him and ruffled his hair gently, earning a small giggle from him. He really h

The Alpha never looked nervous or awkward around anyone.“Say it.” I swallowed hard waiting for him to speak up.“It concerns your old pack…” He trailed off.I stilled, my heart hammering fast inside of me, “My old pack?” My throat felt d

    Nathan’s POV.I stared at Alpha Ethan, my fist clenched immediately, I imagined Alana and himtogether and I couldn’t help but get mad, so much so that it surprised me.It’s been five years since I saw her and knowing she went with this Alpha made me more curious in seeing her, though I knew it won’t amount to anything.“Welcome Alpha Nathan.” Alpha Ethan said, his smile never faltered, “We are delighted you have joined us today.” He motioned for me to take a seat at the round table and sat down next to the empty one next to me.“Thank you, I’m happy to be here, the rogues have been making lots of trouble recently.” I sighed.The rogues made it difficult for many packs recently and they grew stronger day by day. Their little attack on our packs made us join together.I offered to join mostly because I knew he was the Alpha that Alana followed years back..Alana.My mind strayed immediately to Alana, I couldn’t keep her out of my head, coming to the pack she’s residing in made me think

    Nathan’s POV.I could see the annoyance on her face, it made me wonder if she’ll let me in.Alana has made it clear with her actions recently that she wasn’t going to forgive me anytime soon.She stared at me with narrowed eyes, a sigh slipped past her lips.I remember how she sent me away yesterday, how she let Alpha Ethan walk in.I clenched my jaw, the memory of him being treated like he’s Liam’s father made my fist clench as well.I understand that she has every right to treat me this way, but it still felt like someone had stabbed me in the chest with a knife.I wanted nothing more than to start again with her, but she didn’t give me the chance to do so.“What are you doing here?” She asked with an unimpressed look that was supposed to be cold, but I could sense the underlying tension between us.My brows furrowed, “I came to visit Liam, see how he’s doing.” The words left my mouth slowly, I didn't want to sound too eager or desperate for her attention, but I was tired of waiting

    Alana’s POV.I watched him walk away, his shoulders down a little, I couldn’t help but feel slightly bad for sending him away.He walked slowly towards the route leading him away from my place.I felt a little regretful, but I couldn’t change my decision, I had to stand on the fact that his change of mind and his sudden niceness towards me might not last.Alpha Ethan comes in with a smile, “So how is he?” He asked, his head inclined towards Liam.I rushed towards my son, my heart beating so loudly it made my cheeks hurt. I could hear him breathing heavily under my grasp and I let out a small sob.His eyes were closed but tears were streaming down his face, as if he was going to cry out loud again at any moment.“It’s okay, he’ll be fine.” Alpha Ethan said reassuringly while rubbing circles into my back. I didn’t look up, I could tell that he was looking at me worriedly. “I can’t believe this happened, he already hurt his hand and now this happened.” I sighed and began pacing the room

    Nathan’s POV.I ran towards the direction of the border immediately. Alpha Ethan’s beta announced that rogues were trying to break in.The commotion made it difficult to get through the crowd and I could barely see what was going on. All I knew was that there’s a group of people trying to come into our territory. I paused when I noticed Alana and Liam, Liam screamed as he held leg.I turned to my beta who ran beside me, “Join his beta and him to the border, I need to check on my son.” I ordered.My beta nodded before she turned around and followed them. “Stay safe.” I told him as I ran off.It was hard to make out everything clearly from where I stood, but I moved towards them.“Please help me move his leg.” Alana said, tears were falling down her face and her face was pale.Her hands were shaking as Liam kept screaming.I lifted the cupboard off his leg and winced when I saw the damage. The nail from the cupboard had pierced his skin deeply. Blood trickled slowly onto the concrete

You’re not funny Aurora.” I said coldly.“Why would you do that to my son?” I demanded.“Did you just hit me?” She yelled back.“Yes” I answered simply.Aurora tried hitting me back but I grabbed her wrists tightly, my nails dug deep into her skin until I heard h

    Aurora’s POV.I watched Nathan from afar, I could see the longing in his eyes and how he wanted to hug his son immediately Alpha Ethan hugged him.I sighed, frustrated that everything so far didn’t happen the way I wanted. I yelped slightly when I realized the root of the tree I held on to pierced my hand through a thin branch as I was about to jump up. “Oh crap.” I mumbled under my breath. I stared at the direction of Alana’s house and realized that Nathan left, my anger at watching them increased, it made me upset that this wasn't going the way I planned.I turned around and walked back to my house, my anger not dissipating , I just wanted everything to go back the way it was before we came back here.I yelled to the empty house immediately I got in, throwing my bag on a chair, I let out an irritated sigh, “What am I going to do now?” I thought miserably. “Maybe if I ask the seer to say something else it would work.” I murmured to myself before turning away from the table toward

    Nathan’s POV.“I went to your place and I couldn’t see you.” Aurora glared at Alana, her gaze lingered on Liam for a while before she stared at me.“Why are you looking for me?” I asked, my brow furrowed. She looked away from me but not without glancing at me once again. “I had something important to tell you.” “Okay, this is the part where I’ll go,” Alana interrupted, she grabbed Liam, “come on Liam let’s go.”I watched her walk away, the urge to follow her immediately came over me, but I knew I couldn’t do that with Aurora here.“What is it?” I turned to her with a frown.“You’re really not behaving like an Alpha anymore, you keep following Alana around, I know I’ve said this before, but it’s not looking good.” She crossed her arms over her chest, “you need to remember why you ended your relationship with her, you’re the one who told me what the seer said.”“Okay.” I didn’t plan on saying more, the seer’s words were still fresh in my head, I didn’t tell anyone what she said yet.“

    Alana’s POV.“What do you want Nathan?” I yelled, my voice echoed through the passageway we stood in.“I came to meet you concerning Liam.” He held my gaze.“What about my son?” I asked. My voice had a sharp edge and it wasn’t hard for me to notice how he flinched back.“He’s my son as well.” He shot back.“I don’t have time for this.” I sighed and turned around to walk away. “Wait!” Nathan called after me but I was already moving. “Come on Alana. Let’s talk about this. Please…” There was something pleading in his tone and I stopped, turning around and facing him once again. “Let’s talk about what Nathan?” I looked at him with a blank stare. I had nothing left to say to him. Nothing left to say about anything other than the fact that I will not give him a second chance. The last time Nathan was in my life, things didn’t end well. Nathan let out a sigh, “I heard Liam has a school competition today and I want to attend as well.” He paused for a moment, waiting for me to react. When

    Alana’s POV.I paused, shocked that Liam even asked me that. I guessed that he could hear me from inside, but I didn’t expect him to hear everything we said.“Uhm…” I stuttered, my heart hammered in my chest as I held on the door tightly.He stared at me, and I felt like Nathan was staring at me simultaneously, I swallowed, my heart still hammered in my chest. “Yes.” I replied after a while.He stared at me, his eyes held mine for some seconds like he had something to say to me. My stomach flipped, nerves made me swallow again.“I thought as much.” He replied.I blinked, not understanding what he just said. “What do you mean?” I asked, confused.“I saw him earlier and he looked like me, so I thought as much.” He explained casually, almost nonchalantly, like what he said meant nothing important at all.“Is there anything you want to ask me?” I asked nervously.Liam glanced at me, “No.”My eyebrows furrowed, but I nodded, not knowing how to react.“So… what now?” I asked tentatively.I

His eyes were burning holes into me. It felt suffocating, almost. “I asked a question Alana.” He growled.I stayed silent. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.“Answer the damn question Alana.” Nathan barked.“You have no right to ask me that!” I snarled. “You lost that right years ago.”“I agree that I lost that right, but righ
