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 ViewThe heat of the fire barely got to me, as I stood crossing my hand across my chest. I shook my head at a pesky mosquito intent of singing to me as I looked over the entire thing from my chosen corner.Soft humming of voices and the occasional sound of happy laughter filled the air as the evening blue and yellow flamed fire burned steadily at the center of the clearing The Pack Bonfire was here again. They were having so much fun together and it made me feel a bit jealous but had always been more comfortable on the outskirts, observing them rather than participating.The only difference tonight was that my mind felt more clouded than usual. With thoughts of Alpha Elijah. That man was confusing me. From the way he looked at me to the lingering touches he left on my skin, to the way he was able to make my heart jump when I least expected it. I knew couldn’t let anything happen between us. He was an Alpha- a goodlooking one but one regardless and I was simple old me.

    Wiping the soap suds o my hand against a kitchen towel furiously, I turned to the handsome devil in front of me. “I can’t be what you want me to be Alpha Elijah.” It’s being a whole month of Alpha Elijah ruthlessly chasing after me in frenzied acts of romance and seduction and I was about tired of it all. Take for example today. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and he decides he wants to do all of his Alpha duties here today . He had created a workplace made of a kitchen table ridiculously close to the sink. Why yo might ask- He wanted to be closer to me. The man was trying to drive me nuts.He looked up and pulled his brows together in amused confusion, “Whatever do you mean?”.Seeing the pointed look in my eyes, he sighed and stood up fro his makeshift desk. “Aegis,I’m not asking you to be anything but yourself. I’m not asking you to change…….”“Just stop already!” i snapped. “ You can’t fix me okay. I’m broken. Damaged. And yet here you are, acting like you can just love me en

    Aegis's Point Of View.“Gee-gee” The little girl squealed happily as she raced past me. My heart softened as the sight of the joy on the little Cece's face as she chased after the other pups with a wide smile on her face. The Pack kindergarten space was a large grassy area that smelt like Pine, thatch and wet earth with little brown thatch huts around it in a circular fence. The sun had dipped low behind the hills, painting the horizon in shades of purple and gold as the last rays filtered through the thick forest surrounding the kindergarten. It was a very nice touch, I’ll admit. This pack clearly loved their children because I had ever seen anything like this before. But then again they didn’t have parents like mine.Children raced all around, some playing pretend houses in the huts, some painting weird looking childish paintings, some drawing and pushing their friends on swings more than heavy for their little bodies.There was one thing constant here- Laughter and joy.

    I could almost see his head rolling across the giant conference table. A head rolling across the entire room before being turned to its inevitable form_dust. Elijah was about to kill Elias. Okay maybe I’m being dramatic but Elijah was mad mad. I now understood why Elijah was so particular about me being here. His constant almost wary insistence that I babysit Cece in the conference room today totally made sense now. She calmed him down enough that he wasn’t responsible for murder today, his words not mine. I finally got sworn in as an official member of the pack. Yayy I know. Elijah had been rather smug about it, scratch that he loved it.A small smile crept on his face at my line of thought. Oh did I forget to tell you. Being connected to the entire pack meant they had 24/7 access to your thoughts and feelings at every moment, well until you block them out that is. And lord knows I wanted to block out a certain big headed handsome Alpha out tonight but I have a feeling he would compl

"You don’t have to be strong all the time," Elijah whispered, his thumb brushing the tears fro my face to my jawline.“I just.. I can’t. He didn't want me. He never did. Am I that awful?“No baby. Never think that. You’re awesome, He’s a jerk”“ I can feel my wolf’s pain Elijah, I…I…I don’t know what to do.”“You pick yourself back up again. It gets better love. I promise you. Please stop crying”.We were back at the pack house. It’s been a whole of three weeks after I rejected the mate bond between I and Elias. What a sight we were the Alpha soothing a broken pack maid in the Pack kitchen. Hugging me to his chest even as i soiled his chest with tears and soap dud covering my hands. The other maids didn’t know what to do when I burst into tears right in the middle of cleaning the evening dishes.

    Aegis's Point Of View.Life has been good lately.So much so that I can’t stop smiling no matter how hard I tried. And I’ve tried a lot.Humming to myself, I kneaded the cinnamon dough on the already floured counter. Little clouds of flour puffed into the air with each fold I turned around dusting my nose and cheeks. It reminds me of a joke Elijah made and I smile. Why does everything remind me of him?. “Mommy, am I doing it right?” Cece asked breaking me out of my thoughts. I bit my lips in amusement at the sight of her with a total flour covered face and a watered down version of a piece of dough paste in her hands.“Yes baby. Of course”“Mommy you’re lying. I’m bad at this”.“Okay maybe. But you can dust flour on the baking pan the way we did to the counter. You can do that, can’t you baby?“Yes mommy. But can I do it later? My wrist hurts.”“Of course baby.”And with that,she was out of the room. Probably to go play with the other children.“You’re going to wear that smile right o

Five adults and Eight children.I turned my head to the short woman on my left. Kara. The beta's girlfriend."Pardon?"" The tatoo on your shoulder. What does it mean? I didn’t respond. I didn't know how to. How do I explain that it's not a tattoo per say, it just appeared out of nowhere one day."Come on, Aegis," Emery chimed in, his tone dripping with fake curiosity. "It’s an ugly thing. Just like you." Noah snorted."She’s not going to answer you Kara. She thinks she’s better than us." I kept walking, my eyes fixed ahead. Their words slid over me like ice. It wasn’t the first time, and it wouldn’t be the last. "Hey!" Zach stepped in front of me, successfully blocking my path. "Are you deaf or something? We’re talking to you!" I looked at him then, my expression blank. His smug grin faltered

Before I could catch my breath another hit came, this time to my jaw. My vision blurred."Focus!" a deep voice barked.I dodged the next blow slightly by instinct, ducking low and spinning away. My body moved like it knew what to do, but my mind was still catching up.Another strike. This one grazed my shoulder, sending a sharp sting down my arm."Is this all you’ve got?" the voice growled.I raised my head fists raised. The man towering over me had a cruel smirk on his face. Sweat glistened on his dark skin, and his eyes were sharp promptlg calculating my every moves."Is this how you're going to make them pay?" "You're such a weakling," he taunted, circling me.I lunged at him, throwing a punch. He caught my wrist mid-air and twisted inhumanly, forcing me to my knees. Pain shot through me, but I didn’t scream."Pathetic," h

    "What the hell? She has no injuries." I opened my eyes to the sound of muffled voices. Another Hospital. The sharp scent of antiseptic hit me first. The room was cold, too bright. White walls. White sheets. White everything. I blinked slowly, my chest rising and falling. Alive. Somehow, I was alive. "How is this even possible?" A male voice. "She should be dead," said another, softer voice. A woman this time. I turned my head. Two doctors stood near the door arguing amongst themselves. They hadn’t noticed me yet. "No wounds. No burns. It doesn’t make sense," the woman whispered. "That's just not possible ," the man muttered. I sat up, the sheets falling off my chest. My sudden movement made them freeze. Their heads snapped toward me. "She’s awake," the woman said, her voice trembling. " I can see that," the man bit out in frustration.He stepped closer cautiously. "Miss...can you hear me?" "Where am I?" My voice was hoarse. It didn’t even sound like me."You’re safe," he said

    Omniscient Third person P.o.v.She woke up completely at peace. It was weird and she knew why."I’m dead?" Aegis’s voice was raw as she stared around the glowing white courtyard. Statues of faceless figures loomed around her, doing little to mask the faces and decapitated of her fellow dead pack members. They matched in a straight line with her at the very end. All ended to meet the Goddess and be judged. Then it was her turn. Selene sat on a massive throne before her basking in radiant and calm light."Am I dead?,""Yes," the goddess said softly. "And you lived a beautiful life, child."Aegis froze. Her chest tightened with rage like boiling water. "A 'beautiful' life? You call that a beautiful life? Are you insane?" she spat, her voice carrying through the stillness of the courtyard.Her nails digged into her palms but she felt no pain. "What kind of life would you define as beautiful ?"Selene tilted her head, unbothered as ever."A life of trials, yes. But beauty often grows in pa

    Aegis's P.O.V"Mommy look, A big fat cloud."The day felt like a dream I never want to end. I leaned back with a smile on my face watching Elijah laugh as Cece fed crumbs to a squirrel. “We should do this more often,” he said in a calm and warm voice . “And you?” I teased “Do you love feeding squirreld as much as she does?” Everything shattered before he could answer . The mind link opened sharply and painfully ringing frantic voice through. "Rogues! They’ve breached the border!” I froze, same as Elijah. His easy smile was gone, replaced by the fierce, commanding look I’d seen too many times before. “Take Cece and run,” he said, his voice low but firm. He was already on his feet pulling Cece toward me. “Elijah—” “No arguments. Aegis not now," He handed her to me, his eyes softer now. “ Get to the safe house. The both of you” “What about you?” I whispered scared out of my mind.“I’ll fight. I’ll come back.” His hand brushed my cheek, “Trust me.”I didn’t want to leave him and
