Rejecting Fate Chapter 7
-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

-Colter-There was a lot on my mind as I stared out into the horizon. It was about time to leave for our journey but my best friend and second in command was nowhere to be found. Probably that new friend of hers that she had been going on about for the last week. In all my short years, I had never known Madison to be so taken by someone-man or woman. I couldn’t help but hope that this wouldn’t start to become a problem. “Alpha, everyone is ready to move out when you are.” I heard my Delta announce to me. I turned away from the beautiful morning sunrise, walked past Nathan and moved ahead of the line of those waiting for me. We started to the forest’s edge where we usually stood when we were about to head out. As everyone began to transition into their beastly form, I sensed a presence behind me. “Was beginning to think that you wouldn’t show up.” I said as my best friend approached. “Sorry, I’m late! Crisis prevention!” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her remark. Crisis

-Colter-The early morning sun painted the forest in hues of gold and amber, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to whisper secrets of the ancient woods.I stood there at the checkpoint, my gaze sweeping over the weary pack, their fur damp with dew and some with eyes still heavy with sleep. The pack had rested for the night-some in the packhouse while others chose to lie about the grass under the moonlit sky. But now, it was time to continue the arduous journey to the powerful wolf pack they were to meet.“Go get breakfast and we’ll rendezvous in the next hour.” I told them. A good hunt for their morning meal would get them bright eyed and bushy tailed for our trip. And it would give me time to think.“Morning,” I heard Mads greet from behind me. I was glad that she hadn’t shifted yet.As she approached, my mind immediately drifted back to the evening before. About her. Madison had revealed a startling revelation to me. The coincidence of her roommate being my fated mate, it

“Jose!” he said. “This is the great alpha Sloan’s son! And his future commanders. Promising young bunch, I must say. Young alpha, this is my daughter, and heir of the Moorlands, Josephine.”She stepped forward, and I was taken by her beauty; her skin flawlessly brown, her hair long and pin straight in its jet black hue. Her eyes were serene in color. She was petite and simply astonishing to look at.“It is a real pleasure, Josephine.” I found myself smiling, probably wider than I should have. She chuckled timidly. “The pleasure is all mine, alpha.” We went our separate ways, a pack member leading us to our sleeping quarters for the time being of our stay, while another, along with Nathan, went to the pack members waiting outside to allow them entry.So far, this trip was doing wonders to alleviate my concerns. Well, at least one part of this trip was.“Right up the hill,” the pack member directed us and then departed. Madison and I took the rest of the way up alone.Josephine seeme

-Aure-I’d been on the phone with Mom for what felt like hours, my mind wandering as she talked about her day at the office. The usual stuff: a particularly difficult client, a coworker who’d spilled coffee on her new blouse. I tried to focus, to sound engaged, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Colter and Madison, my new roommate. It had been three days since I’d seen Madi and even longer since I’d heard any sign of the mystery man that I could not seem to get off of my mind. What was worse was the fact that despite me not knowing them nearly well enough to feel like this, I couldn’t shake the loneliness that came with their absence.“Have you made any friends yet? Met any guys that you’re interested in?” Mom asked, pulling me out of my reverie. I could hear the hopeful anticipation in her voice.“Mom, I’ve not been here long enough to-”“You’ve been there for well over a week now, dear. Surely, you’ve met someone in that amount of time.” She was right, of course, I had met someo

-Colter-Monday had come and gone into Tuesday, and still the Moorlands still lingered in my mind. A vivid tapestry of rolling hills, ancient forests, beautiful bodies of water, and the haunting beauty of the Moor wolves; it was like living in another world.Then there was Josephine, with her mesmerizing and hazy yellow-green eyes, who had captured me in ways that I could never have imagined. Our time together had been a whirlwind of passion and excitement that I didn’t expect when agreeing to this trip to the Moors.Even with this past extraordinary weekend, the weight of my obligations to Aurelia and what to do with her started to settle on me. She was my mate, after all. I promised myself that I would figure out what I should do about our mating bond before making any decisions going forward. Yet, Josephine had tempted me; the she-wolf had completely swept me away in a tide of excitement and desire. As I walked away from the classroom, I was so lost in thought that I hadn’t even r

-Aurelia-Hours had come and gone of us talking and learning about one another. Colter Sloan I had learned, was not as surly, and easily aggravated as I initially thought him to be. I guess first impressions aren’t everything.The statuesquely handsome young man was far more charming than I had ever imagined he could be. He was patient, and very considerate of this inexplicable pain that I’d been wrought with over the last couple of days. He was attentive to me and even concerned. Odd, considering he hardly knows me well enough to call me by my first name. As we studied each other throughout the night, I also couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a pang of guilt in his eyes. Almost as if he had something to hide from me. When I began to think along those lines, I was forced to ask myself what on earth he could be hiding from me in the first place? He neither knew me nor owed me anything enough to have secrets from me. And still….I could not shake that feeling that some part of

The day seemed to go down hill from the moment that Colt blew me off. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something big was going to happen soon, and that it probably wasn’t going to be good. Not for me anyway. Following the last class, I found myself wandering around the college campus, my mind afloat with frustrations and confusion concerning this thing with Colter Sloan.My phone rang, and I immediately knew that it was my mother checking in on me again. There wasn’t much to talk about on the phone. Her conversation consisted entirely of how I’d been taking care of myself. She was a worry wart, my mother. I loved her for it, but truth be told, I just didn’t have it in me to talk right now.Politely, I decided to end the conversation early.“Okay, mom, I gotta go, but I’ll talk to you later. I love you too.” We exchanged, and then I headed to my dorm.“Hey Aure!” Madison greeted me from her desk as I came into our shared dorm.“Hey, Mads.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t return Mad’s gre

-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-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

-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

-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
