Rejecting Fate Chapter 33
-Colter-Ever since the rejection, there’d been a miserable pinch in the pit of my stomach. This feeling was new to me, and in ways far more miserable than I could have imagined.“Hey baby,” the melodic voice of my chosen whispered in my ear as she lay next to me in bed.Normally, Jose would have been a welcome distraction to any one or one hundred things that had been on my mind. This time, however, I found Josephine’s presence…complicated.“Are you alright?” she whispered in my ear. “I can tell that you have a lot on your mind.”“I’m fine,” I lied, and I knew that she knew that I was lying.I felt the shift of her weight in bed as she pulled away from me and sat upright. “It’s her….isn’t it?” she asked. I glanced over my shoulder at Josephine, her flawless cinnamon features downcast with frustration. I couldn’t lie to her.“I don’t want to upset you, Jose,” I said. “So let’s not.”But she insisted. “I can’t believe…that she’s a daughter of the Moors-an actual,” she chuckled, sha

-Aure-Central Washington University. This was the college that I was meant to go to. Was it the best college or worst? To be honest, I wasn’t sure. I didn’t care. Although the place looked positively expensive. Then again, what college or university didn’t?None of that mattered to me, truth be told. I no longer even wanted to attend any university. Not since dad. Nevertheless, this wasn’t just about what I wanted. It was about starting over. Me and mom.I was trying to be as agreeable as I possibly could. After all, I wasn’t the only one that was grieving. I wasn’t the only one who had to readjust to life. I just wanted to be agreeable. For mom. But….it wasn’t easy.My stomach churned with anxiety I got this nagging sense; a sense of something almost calling to me. I was feeling retraction and attraction to that building at the same time. Frustrating? the word didn’t cover how I was feeling.‘He’s here…’Now I was talking to myself, hallucinating random words. He’s here? What does th

-Colter-A human?!This can’t be! Her?! My mate?! No! No, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not!She wasn’t a bad looking human girl. She was pretty? I guess? She had a pair of mesmerizing eyes-even for a human; it was that heterochromic thing that some humans were born with. Hers wasn’t extremely noticeable, but if you looked long enough you could see that, while both eyes were a rich whiskey brown, one had hints of green in them. Her even richer latte brown skin, seemed to make her eyes even more noticeable.Still, despite all of these positive physical aspects I could sense her insecurity. She had no confidence, at all, judging by her baggy, faded T-shirt, and those hideous, distressed bell bottom jeans. Her hair was in a haphazard bun at the top of her head. I loved women with messy buns, but something about the way that she wore it…The girl wasn’t taking care of herself, that much was for sure. She had a clean face and she smelled really good, but…her scent…. her mating scent was hardly

-Aure-“Who are you?”Who was I? As I recalled the conversation that I had earlier with that nameless, mysterious and ridiculously handsome guy, I couldn’t believe how he so blatantly asked me that. But even more than that I couldn’t believe that I actually answered him.“Aurelia…Aurelia Smith,” I had said to him and without hesitation.Why didn’t I hesitate? Hesitation was always my MO when it came to engaging others. But I didn’t.His momentary bouts of silence were frightening, as despite the comfort that he somehow provoked from me, in the back of my mind, I kept the common sense that I did not know him and that he had me locked in the boys’ bathroom with him.Still, in his silence, I could tell that there was a reason for it. He obviously was feeling a confusion akin to my own. And maybe a sense of intrigue. Just as I did.I usually was never one to carry on a conversation with anyone. In past situations, I made it a point to end the conversation and leave the situation as fast as

-Colter-“Run it one more time! Then we’ll call it for the evening!”I could hear my uncle bellowing orders from halfway across the training field. He was always near some sort of training course as he was the Delta of Sno Wolf pack, and his whole life revolved around being prepared.I couldn’t help but wonder if he would be prepared for what I was about to tell him.By the time I approached, the younger recruits had already begun filing off of the training field and to their respective destinations.“Hope you’re not trying to sneak up on me. If so, I must say, I’m disappointed in you, nephew.”“It’d be hard to sneak up on you on a good day, Sloan. We both know that.”He laughed, shrugged and turned around to face me. “I would disagree with you there, but who am I to argue against the truth?” he joked, though we both knew that it was one hundred percent true. “So, how’s my favorite nephew?”“Favorite nephew or only nephew?”“Ah no need for specifics. What’s going on?” he asked as he pi

-Aure-“So, we’ve talked about just about everything since meeting, and I…Aurelia Smith, have decided that I like you.”Madison had been grilling me since the moment she stepped through the door of our dorm room. Was I mad about it? No. Was I more than amused by her inquiries? Definitely. I found it refreshing to talk about such mundane things as what my favorite color is or what type of shows I like to binge on.I chuckled, then nodded in agreement as I had come to the conclusion that I liked her too. “You’re not so bad yourself.”“Hahaha, I know.” Madison took a sip of her drink.We were out in the yard after our last class and decided to have lunch at a table out on the lawn.“So, tell me more…about this guy that swept you off your feet. And on the first day you met him! He must be some sort of charmer.”“Well,” I sighed. “Don’t know about that, really. Doesn’t seem that he likes very much.”“Really?” Madison seemed caught off guard by realization. “That’s weird. You’re a real looke

-AURE-Kenneth stared at his nephew blankly when he thought that Colter wasn’t looking. The young alpha didn’t have to look, though, as he could feel his uncle’s eyes boring into the back of his head.“I wish you would stop staring like that.”“I…I’m sorry, nephew,” said Kenneth finally. “I just…I…this is a rare occurrence. An inhuman and a human.” He chuckled dryly. It wasn’t a chuckle of amusement or heckling. There was clear concern in his tone.When Colter finally faced his uncle, he realized that Kenneth was still staring blankly at him.Impatiently, Colter rolled his eyes. “Anything else you want to say?”“I…well,” Kenneth exhaled. “To be honest, nothing comes to mind. Nothing that would add any value to your situation anyway.”Seeing his uncle this seemingly nervous only succeeded in making Colter even more reluctant than he already was to tell his father about this. “You know…you’re not making me feel any type of reassurance when it comes to telling dad about this, right?”“Lis

-AURE-I thought we were supposed to talk. Wasn’t like it was a desire more so than a need. Although…I’d have been lying had I said that there was a bit of that involved as well. Still, though, it didn’t change the necessity of the conversation. We truly did need to talk. I just… I wanted to understand. I needed to. Didn’t he? Did he not long to feel the way that he did when around me as I did him when we first met? Longing, that was the only way to describe the ache and need that had ignited in me since the first time I’d run into the stranger. Pathetic? Pitiful? I didn’t know which word to use or just to consider myself both because I certainly felt like a mixture of the two. These questions and notions had been plaguing my mind on repeat for an insurmountable time and I just couldn’t shake it. My thoughts were so intrusive that I had completely forgotten for a moment or so that I had a

-AURE-Moor wolf? How did she know-Before the thought could finish forming, a jittering feeling began to form in the pit of my stomach and rise into my chest. An earthy scent began to follow.The look in my eyes as I stared at Josephine brought a seemingly knowing mirth to her features as she stared at me.“You sense it too.”“What do you mean?” I found myself asking.“The scent,” she said. “The connection between our bloodlines.” her head tilted to the side. “You’re a part of the Moor wolves.”I watched her closely, hardly sparing those surrounding us, a passing glance before returning all of my attention back on her.“I am.”“What?” I heard the murmurings surrounding she and I but…nothing else seemed to matter at the moment but this odd connection I suddenly felt towards her. Josephine approached me after I confirmed what she already seemed to know. “You’re not just any…any wolf of the Moors though…are you?” This was a question that I could not clearly answer. “I only know the c

-COLT-“I need you to reject me right now!” her growl was loud and vicious as she stalked towards me, her heels hitting the floor with every aggressive step she took.There was a fire in her that was sexy as hell and hard to ignore. I was so mesmerized by her that I didn’t even realize that she was face-to-face with me until I felt her shove me. “Hello?!” “I-Aure, what-what are you-”“Aurelia,” Madison approached. “How did you find this place?”“Unfortunately, it didn’t take much since somehow, I’m still connected to this guy!”“What? What do you mean?” I asked, caught off guard by this news. “I rejected you already, Aurelia, There shouldn’t be a connection-”“Then, okay. I have to reject you, and this will be over right?” she pressed. I was so stunned by her determination to get rid of me that I was speechless. And…it sort of hurt a little.“Okay, okay, let’s take a beat,” said my uncle. Kenneth stood between me and Aurelia and to be honest, suddenly I didn’t trust him around her
Rejecting Fate Chapter 30
-Aure-I knew that mom would be disappointed if I’d come home early that night. She wasn’t asleep yet, as it seemed that in me deciding to go spend a night on the town gave her her second wind that evening. Mom hadn’t been that lively since my return home. I didn’t have it in me to tell her that everything was ruined by an almost ex-mate of mine. Though, to hear that I had even the spark of a life outside of taking care of her would have probably made her feel even better still.Either way, one thing for sure was that I really didn’t want to discuss it at the moment.Seeing Colter Sloan again lit a fire in me that I’d thought burned out a long time ago. “I thought he rejected us,” I whispered to myself. “He did,” said my counterpart. She was just as frustrated as I was.“Then why did I still feel that jolt, when he touched me? Why?! Why did I feel the same that I did the first time we met?”“I don’t know.” Sephara spoke with a calm frustration, the complete opposite to my own. “Co
Rejecting Fate Chapter 29
-Colter-I screwed up, I screwed up big time, and I didn’t have the first clue on how I should fix it.Realizing the extent to which I hurt Aurelia presented a near crippling pain to my heart. Here I was, thinking that I was doing her a favor, and it turned out to be one of the worst things that I could have ever done to her. I should have just been honest, but instead, I took the cowardly way out, and now, I was left with this mess.After the spat that was had between Aurelia and I, the thought to follow her came to mind for a moment. When I remembered the look in her eyes, however, I realized that it wouldn’t be the best idea. So, I wound up heading back to the packhouse to sulk in my self-loathing.“How could you!?” Madison growled angrily, catching me from behind. I turned around just as she shoved me aggressively into the wall. “Mads, I-”“No!” she snarled. “No! No more excuses! There is nothing that you can say to justify what you did tonight! Bursting into a friend-date? St

-Colter-“What are you doing here?” Her words hit me like a ton of bricks, knocking me out of my trance of how positively sexy she was.My wolf growled, and I knew that he felt the same thing that I felt at that moment. “Hello?” Madison irately followed. “She asked you a question! What? Are you following me now?”“No-yes, no, no!” I stumbled out. “I just needed to know who it was that you were meeting…who this ... .this... .it's you?” I asked.I sensed something different about her-something strong, and inhuman.She didn’t respond, only averted her gaze and took a shot of her drink.“You’re human,” She scoffed, rolling her eyes. “So, now you’re telling me about myself? Is that it?” “Wh-no, no, that’s-that’s not what I was doing at all. I just-”There was no coming back from the fumble I just made. “Are you done making a fool of yourself, now?” I ignored Madison and turned my full gaze on Aurelia Smith. “You look good, Aurelia.” And oh did she? The sheer mesh romper, opaque in al

-Colt-It felt like days since the last time I talked to my best friend and Beta.Mads was clearly angry with me after the last time that we’d spoken. It had begun to seem as if the only thing that I could do lately was upset her. “This doesn’t have anything to do with me, does it?” I heard Josephine say from behind me as I blankly stared in the bathroom mirror at my reflection. “Everything bad that happens between Mads and I isn’t always about you, love,” I said in the most cordial way that I could.Fortunately, Josephine actually wasn’t the most sensitive when it came to telling it like it is.“Ah, good. I was beginning to think that I was the center of her little universe.” She spoke in a teasing manner as she wrapped her arms around my wide torso, her naked breast pressed against my back as she said, “Maybe instead of guessing whether the girl is still upset with you, just go talk to her?” she asked. “Might be best that I give her some space, Jo.”“You’ve given her enough space

-Aure-I was wholly invested in mom's history at this point. Sitting on edge, as I pressed and waited for her to tell me how she and my father met.“How?” I could tell that there was an interesting story behind it.“He, uh, he was the enemy,” she said. “Your father, he was Sigma, the strong lone wolf of the Moors. And well, your grandparents had gotten a little too arrogant, I guess. They were powerful, the strongest mated couple in the territory. That power went to their head, and they moved in on the Sigma’s territory, deciding that together they could take him.” she laughed. “They were wrong.”“Did he kill them?” I asked.“No,” she answered. “But he took the pack from them

-Aure-Alpha? Of the Moors? “Moors?” I emphasized the word after she confessed this. What on earth was I supposed to do with this information?“Yes, Aure,” said. “You heard me correctly. It’s a deep in the Moors, quite majestic in its way.”“Mom, you’ve got to be kidding.”“I wish I was,” she chuckled tensely. “It’s not the easiest place to live when you’re a human-born wolf.”“What?” I had never heard of something like this before. To be honest, I had never heard of any of this before. All of it was new to me. What my mother was telling was simply furthering the concept of my mind being blown.She sighed. At this point, I had noticed that she was showing signs of fatigue and so I helped her to her favorite reclining chair, and propped her feet up.Mom leaned back in her chair, and then continued to explain. “That’s why I never told you, Aure,” she said. “About your true nature. Your father and I thought that you were like me, and he felt that since he could not raise you amongst his
