I felt Seleste’s discomfort most of the night. It took her a long time to get to sleep. I can’t believe that my choice to be with Theresa in the past could ruin my relationship with my mate. I hope she knows I am not the type of male that would be in a relationship with two females at one time. My mother raised me with more respect than that. I need to talk with Theresa and let her know it is over between us. Now that I have my second chance mate, I can’t imagine being with any other female. Seleste is everything to me. I need to slip away in the morning and call my beta. I need him to get to Theresa and keep her away from me until I have a chance to tell her about me finding my second chance mate. I wasn’t lying to Seleste when I said that I forgot about everything else when she projected herself in the room with me and her cousins. My only focus was rescuing her.
“Well now, your focus better be on keeping our mate. I will never forgive you
I go up to my room. I don’t know what to do right now. I hurt my mate in the worst way. I don’t know if she will ever forgive me, but we are mated, and this is for life. It will hurt us to be away from each other. I can already feel the pain of separation.“I told you to end it before we got back. Now my mate is gone.”“I’ll make it up to her when she comes back. The mate bond should bring her back to us.”“You are an idiot. She is the moon goddess’ chosen one. Do you not know that there is a way for her to completely break the bond between us and reject us even after we’ve marked each other? Do you not remember the reason the young alpha did not lose his wolf was because Tamaska broke the bond and released him and walked away? Don’t think she can’t do it again and guess what? If she breaks the bond with us, the moon goddess will give her the option of having another ma
I materialized in a room that looks different, but somehow familiar. This is definitely not my room at my parent’s house. I do not know where I am now. I don’t feel any immediate danger, so I need to first figure out where I am. As I am looking around, two people walk into the room.“What the hell, Seleste? How did you get here?” Prince Julian asked.At this point, I am barely holding it together. After seeing Prince Julian, I realized I somehow teleported myself to him. I guess that makes sense. This was one of the last places I felt completely safe and will be the last place anyone looks for me.I looked at Prince Julian and Princess Violetta and all I can do was cry. Princess Violetta walks up to me and just hugs me.“Julian, call Alpha Clark. Something has happened. I know I don’t know Seleste as well as you all, but I can’t imagine what could have made her break down like this. You go make the call. I&r
After the conference call, I was emotionally spent. I asked Julian if I could have the room that I had stayed in before and take a rest. I just need some me time and a good nap. After greeting and hugging Julian’s parents, the king and queen, I go to my room. This will be my sanctuary for now. I had to convince Councilman Bari to let me stay with the Coven. They wanted to move me to another safe house ran by the council, but I feel safest here. I trust Julian and his family more than anyone outside of my Circle and Alpha Clark. I had to convince my dad and all of my friends that I was ok and just needed time away from everything for now. I promised my dad that I would be home once I was ready. Right now, my mom and my dad are ready to go to war with Jarvis. Jarvis’ mom tried to call me. I know it is not her fault, but I told her I just needed a little time right now. She apologized and let me know that she was there for me whenever I need to talk. Her and Jarvis’ fathe
It has been over a week since the incident happened, and my mate left me. Seleste has refused to speak with me since the day I saw her on the videoconference. I think she has blocked my number from her phone. No one will tell me where she is or how she is doing. Onyx won’t even talk to me. He is mad that I hurt his mate. Onyx, of all people, should know that I love Seleste and I would never do anything on purpose to harm our mate. I keep going over everything in my mind from that day and I still don’t know what happened. Since the first time Seleste Astro-projected herself to us, I have not even looked at another shewolf. I definitely didn’t want one locking lips with me. There had to be something more going on here, like the king believes. I will be glad when his magic workers get here and clear this mess up. I need to get back to the business of being an alpha. Right now, my Beta is running the pack. The pack members are mad at me for making their new luna leave.
After enjoying my own company for several hours, I go back to my office and meet everyone else there. I greet Madam Iris, Orion, and Jareth, along with everyone else. Madam Iris explains to my parents and beta that Theresa and I will need to accompany them alone for the ritual. After they have completed the cleansing ritual for the two of us, they will do a protection spell over the territory to keep all black magic out and nullify any black magic present on our members once they enter our pack borders. There is no way of knowing how many of our pack members have been compromised and or to sitting dormant waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos. My beta will get with the other ranked members and let them know what is going on while we are doing the ritual. If any members are under the influence of dark magic, they will become disoriented once the magic is broken. They may not even remember where they are or how they go there. The ranked members will separate those members and let
Staying away from my mate over this past week was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I pretty much avoided everyone who loves me. I had to tell Prince Julian and Violetta the truth, since I can’t avoid them. They were happy to learn that Alpha Blake did not actually betray me and agreed to keep quiet about what the goddess told me. They were initially surprised that I didn’t run to my mate after I spoke with the goddess. I had to explain to them I had to let everything play out fully in order to not change fate. There is too much riding on thing following into place a certain way. I don’t understand all the inner workings, but I trust the goddess and I know things will work out. I can feel that the war is coming sooner than we thought.Julian just called me to the meeting room. The king wants to talk to me. I guess everyone finally knows the truth about what happened with my mate and I can stop pretending to still be mad with him. Tamaska will finally be ab
“Ok, back to the war efforts. I have a couple of updates and Alpha Keenai has an update from his agent that is undercover with the rebels. He has gotten closer to the dirty council member and could send us more footage. The dark lord has finally shown his hand to the councilman and has backed the councilman into a corner. I think we can move on to the councilman soon and get his corporation. I’ll let Alpha Keenai share the footage before I add my update. It will explain some of what you will hear on this video.We all get quiet as Alpha Keenai takes the reins.“This video was forwarded to me yesterday. I think it was soon after the council had an emergency meeting, after it was confirmed that dark magic was used on an alpha.” Alpha Keenai says and starts the video.In the video, we see the councilman approaching a figured in a long dark robe with a hood on. His face is covered. Why do all evil people always appear as hooded figures? For o
After ending the conference call, Seleste and I retired to my room and spent the rest of the day and night together. I just did not want to let her go or let her out of my sight. We talked and loved each other for hours. Seleste told me about her encounter with the goddess they day she left me. I’m slightly hurt that she knew I was under the influence of magic that long, but I understand that she had to follow the instructions of the goddess. Onyx had also explained everything to me this morning. The goddess had come to him as well. That was the only way he did not go feral with the thought of losing our true mate. After spending the whole day and night locked in my room, Seleste and I had to come back to the real world. I wish I could spend more time just Seleste and I, but we are on a time crunch. We don’t know when the dark lord will strike again. Everyone has been working around the clock to prepare for the upcoming war. The king and councilman Bari called me to the coun
