(Aegis's Point Of View).
A loud powerful growl ripped across the room successfully cutting her off. A mug sitting on the table shattered. The dining table in he next room caved in and all of our attention turned to Elias. His lips were still tugged up and slightly apart to expose his large drooping canines. His wolf didn’t like the idea of me finding someone else. My wolf growled in disapproval of his hypocrisy. He didn't want me but he also doesn't want me to find someone else.
"It doesn't work like that Velma and you know that. The mate bond will always exist between us no matter how little".
"It doesn't matter".Elias replied finally regaining control over his wolf.
"We've come up with a solution".
My eyebrows shot up. "Solution?"
Elias looked over to Velma. She gives him a brief nod.
"My wolf he wants you as a mate. He won't settle for anyone else". He looked over at my parents grimly.
"But if we were to separate, the bond would weaken"
I felt my jaw go slack. He couldn't be suggesting what I think he's suggesting.
"You're kicking me out" I yelled in utter disbelief.
"The transfer won't be permanent"My father jumped in. Standing up from his seated position. I paid him no mind.
"It's just until Shelia is marked and officially crowned Luna. Then you'll be permitted to come back".
I scoffed bitterly at his words.
"You're kicking me out" I whispered again quietly.
Mother stepped forward taking my arms into her hands tearing my attention to her. She looked at me in forced empathy. Her lips pressed into a thin, straight line.
"Aegis, Now is not the time to be emotional. This is bigger than you. You have to understand that you're not fit to be Luna. Your sister is a more capable fit. We need this, we need for our bloodline to be merged with the Alpha's. Our true bloodline"
"But I’m your child too.Did you ever think of that?"
“Did you ever give me a choice?”
" Look Aegis,it'll only make it harder for you if you stay here" Father answered tightly.
"So what, you're just going to abandon me in some pack and call me back after they marked and mater themselves? You're sending me away so I don't interfere".
I knew my voice was rising but I couldn't stop myself. My wolf was so angry.
"I know you've been waiting for a mate all your life but...He’s mine Aegis. One day you’ll see that he was meant to be mine" Sheila replied to me.
Bike rose up in my throat. The underlying threat underneath the message did not go unnoticed . The worse part was that I couldn't say anything. She was right. He was hers.
Elias slammed a folder in front of me. The words PACK TRANSFER inscribed boldly in front.
"Sign the papers Aegis. This isn't up for debate".
"No" it came out bitter. The last string of my restraint was slowly chipping away. They don’t get to do this to me.
Hesitation and fear flashed across his face. I now fully understand him, Elias probably never thought he'd find me. He was also much too impatient to be Alpha that he resolved to take the easy way out. Challenging his father would be a much easier task once I was out of the way.
"I'm not signing it Elias"
His eyes narrowed at me.
"Aegis Davids, I’m not playing this game with you. You are signing this documents NOW"
I stiffened at the Alpha command. My body acted immediately to the order given by an Alpha blood. My mind reeled from the fact that he used the Alpha command on me.
My hands obediently reached for the paper against my will. I could only mutter out No's and please for him to stop as I signed the documents.
"We have one more thing to do" He said after he made sure I was done signing.
"I, Elias Pierce, future Alpha of the Blackthorn pack reject you Aegis Davids. I hereby completely sever my bond with you".
I couldn't breath. My chest closed up and I tried desperately to get some oxygen or anything that could relieve me. A glass of water was pushed in front of me and I drank greedily.
I regained composure after sometime after some time. My mind was empty, completely blank. I felt empty. My wolf herself was silent and defeated. It was done. I had lost him.
“You know for someone who hates someone controlling his life. You certainly don’t mind destroying mine”.
That stopped him in his track. Without turning back he answered “ I’m sorry Aegis. That’s just the way it needs to be”.
"Pack your things, You leave in four hours".
It took all of two hours to pack all I owned and I was soon set on my way. My eyes were dry and clear at this point, my eyes had finally run out of tears.
The carriage was set and the en waiting. My parents were nowhere to be found. My sister nowhere to be see. I shook my head I disappointment, they didn't even have the decency to see me off.
The carriage bustled and shook as it did a crazy dance with the redundant road below. I looked out the window with a heavy feeling in my head. A little tear dripped down my face as the pack house withdrew slowly and slowly out of sight.
We were in the middle of the forest when I felt it. A sharp pain hit me clouding over the deepest parts of my soul.If I thought the rejection hurt, this was way worse. Everything hurt. My mind, my heart, my body and flesh. My wolf let out loud and sorrowful howl. What was happening to me?.
I flailed my hands desperately trying to signal to one of the carriage men. A sharp blow hit me at the back of my head and I was out.
(Aegis's Point Of View).Hollowness greeted me like an old friend opening my eyes up with a gasp. I was in an hospital room empty of patients but filled with people. Six nurses in varying height and coordinated uniform tended to the only patient in the room.The room in all its glory smelt like death.The walls appeared so white, it nearly blinded me. A single dull blue light hung in the corner of the room adding to the gloomy atmosphere of the room.“ Where am I?”A tall blonde willowy nurse in a blue apron exchange a look to a woman on my far right before answering me.“In the hospital ma’am.”“But this is not the hospital, I work in the hospital ” I replied looking around the room of new faces in confusion.“Where’s mama Priscilla and Sister Thalia?”.Exchanging another desperate look with other nurses in the room, the same woman answered me.“Erm, This is not your pack hospital ma’am. I’m afraid you’re no longer in your pack . This is the Night-wisp pack”“The Night-wisp pack. What
Aegis's Point Of View.The gloomy atmosphere of the hospital had become comforting. Elias mated Velma two month ago and I was paying for it. In blood. Miss Evangeline disagrees, she calls it the evidence of something greater. Something else I was slowly losing. My life.“She’s lost too much blood Miss Evangeline. If she continues like this, she’ll be dead by the next full moon” A nurse said.I’ve never seen this one around. Or maybe I have- my brain was beginning to lose its resillience.I felt another wave of blood coming through. It should be painful but I can’t feel anything. I’ve grown numb, unresponsive. I was finally broken.“ No, don’t say that. She’ll make it, I know she will”.Evangeline responded optimistic as always. No, she won’t. Look at her”.I chuckled in my mind at that. I was surely a sight to see. I was rushed back to the hospital a day after I got to the pack. That day was the first time he mated her. The matebond was taking the effect out on me because the rejectio
Aegis's P.o.vSix months later I was watering flowers.Sighing heavily, I took the green watering can by the handle and walked back to the shed. The heat of the afternoon sun burned hotly against my skin. The sweet smell of fresh roses and the unmistakable smell of the damp earth filled my nostrils at every breath I breathed in. Calmness enveloped me at the sight in front of me. Flourishing red and white roses peeking out masses of greenery blankets stretched out for miles. Goddess, it was beautiful.I ignored the sluggish sound of the soil beneath my oversized boot cladded feet and stopped in front of the little wooden hut I had frequented so much in the past month.Brandi Winston,a kind old man that allowed me to work for him in his fields, came out from the hut and flashed me a warm smile. Dressed in dark blue overalls folded at the sleeve, with a blue undershirt and brown boots, he was a sight to see. There were smudges of oil all over his arms, face and wrinkly chin. He must h
Aegis's Point Of View.It happened again.This was the tenth time this month that I passed out from pain and wake up with welts and sores on my body. And we’re still on the fifth day of the month. It’s becoming ridiculous how much they did it. At first it was only a couple times a month but now they were going at it like rabbits.Miss Evangeline explained that the consequences was this severe because my mate was one in high power. The only way to make them stop was to complete the rejection and that wasn’t happening anytime soon.She was very sympathetic of my situation. With sorrowful wise eyes she lamented on how selfish my mate was to not have waited for his mate and how much he was going to regret not waiting for his mate.If only she knew.For now, I needed to get out of here. I can't risk the pack finding out.Trying not to irritate the welts on my back, I tried to stand up gently. I mistakenly rested on one of the sores on my lower waist. The sores rubbed against the black line
The sun sank in casting a warm golden glow on the forest clearing. Men and women stood around in groups chatting and gossiping. I stood to the far left under a tree i found earlier silently observing the pack members as they mingled and laughed with each other. The voices of children racing and playing with themselves carried on the breeze. The flickering of yellow and blue flames cast oddly shaped dancing shadows on the ground.The annual bonfire was here."Gee-gee!" A small, familiar voice broke through the noise.I looked around or the voice and a smile spread out on my face,my heart warming as i saw Little Cece run toward me. Her head of black unruly curls bouncing up and down, her bright eyes wide with excitement.Bending down I opened my arms, and Cece ran into them in a hug. “Hi, Cece,” i said softly, brushing a strand of hair away from the her face. “What’s wrong?”She pulled back and pointed toward the gathering with a small frown. “Too loud,” she murmured, barely audible goin
The faint aroma of smoke that mixed with the comforting scent of pine and damp earth grounded me in the moment. Little Cece and her father were having a picnic and somehow here I was sitting a tablecloth in the middle of the forest battling soldier ants. I still don’t know how I got talked into this.An owl called in the distant and it echoed through the forest, duly reminding that the world beyond the fire was still wild and untamed. The evening had settled into a quiet calm, the warmth of the fire crackled softly as the night deepened. The stars scattered in little shining dots overhead, bright and clear against the pink sky, creating a serene atmosphere. I sat beside Alpha Elijah and Cece, who nestled herself comfortably in my lap, her small hand clutching the wooden wolf toy she never seemed to let go of.Alpha Elijah stirred the fire with a long stick, his jaw set in that firm, commanding way I was used to. The air of authority around him made it clear he was the Alpha. But toni
(Aegis's Point Of View).Never ever let your outgoing sister plan you a birthday party because chances were You would be alone. She would be nowhere to be found.You would be alone.There was nothing wrong with the party except for one giant fact-- it was a PARTY. The black speakers in the corner blasted a pop song I had never heard before leaving in it wake a reverberating thud. The stench of alcohol and musty scent horny teenagers was thickened the air . A tall lanky boy stood on a table , shirtless and attempting to do a remake of magic mike except this version by himself. It was horrible but his audience of drunk teenage fan girls didn’t seem to mind, their delightful shrieks going on and beyond to give me an headache. And Vela was still nowhere to be found.And here I was, the birthday girl, standing right in the middle of the chaos in my obviously borrowed pink dress, sporting a cup of chocolate and a tense smile. My mother stood across the hall beside the scattered food platte
(Aegis's Point Of View).One good thing came out from this night. Okay that was a lie, this night was a disaster. i had an headache and it was killing me.But it did get me out of the birthday dinner early so It is a good thing. I came to a giant revelation today. Vela had a very annoying voice.I knew her vice was uncomfortable to the ears but hearing her yap on and on with her french manicured hand holding my mate; I barely made it through the party without my wolf shifting and killing her. She just kept yapping on on about everything.. Changing my dress into a sweatpants and matching crop_top, I sighed in satisfaction. My phone pinged repeatedly but right now I could care less. It was probably some of my followers on Tiktok wishing me a happy birthday. I downed a couple of painkillers and padded to the bathroom in my yellow and black Winnie the pooh slippers to wash my face. No point taking a shower, I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.Angel ran across the room c
