The Mate I Never Wanted

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-18 20:34:49

Helios’ POV

The first thing I noticed when she woke up was her eyes. Not their color, not the way they fluttered open after days of stillness but the way they looked at me. They were cold, empty and indifferent. Like I was just another face in the pack. Like I was nothing.

My wolf recoiled at the absence of recognition, of warmth, of any sign that she felt what I did. The raw pull of the bond had been gnawing at me since I woke up. It coiled tighter around my ribs the longer I stayed near her. But she…

She acted like it didn’t even exist. "You're awake." My voice came out rough, unreadable. She blinked up at me, slow and impassive, before turning her head away, staring at the ceiling as if I wasn’t even in the room. A sharp pain twisted in my chest.

The last time we were in the same room together, she had been half-dead, her blood keeping me alive while she wasted away. Now, she looked weak but intact. Yet something about her had changed. Not physically.

No, physically, she was still

    Helios’ POVIt started with little things. The way my hands itched when someone else reached for her. The way my wolf bristled whenever she spoke to another male, even if it was just a healer. The way my jaw clenched when she dismissed me, over and over, as if I was nothing more than background noise.She didn’t reject me outright. But she didn’t accept me either. She simply existed, untouched by the mate bond that was destroying me from the inside out. And I...I was losing my mind.The first time she flinched away from someone, I almost didn’t notice. A healer had been adjusting her pillow, hands brushing her shoulder as they shifted her into a better position. It was a simple, harmless touch. Yet her entire body went rigid and her fingers curled into the sheets.She didn’t say a word, didn’t push them away, but the tension in her muscles was unmistakable. I dismissed the healer before I even realized what I was doing. Starlight exhaled slowly when they left, as if she had been holdi

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    The Alpha Who Lost Everything

    Helios' POVMy mate was killing me. Not with words. Not with anger. No. Starlight was killing me with silence. With every unreadable glance, every dismissive shrug, every moment she let me touch her yet gave me nothing in return. I had spent years ignoring her. Now, she was ignoring me. And I hated it.The most infuriating thing was the fact that I could not escape this bond. I didn’t want a mate. I certainly never wanted her. Yet here I was, trapped. Tied to her by something stronger than any mate bond. Tied to her by her blood, her sacrifice.She had saved me, and now my wolf refused to let me go. Every time I tried to leave the room, my body locked up. Every time I forced myself to walk away, my lungs ached like I was suffocating. I needed her close. Damnit! I truly needed her.And I could feel it, the bond pulling me deeper, tightening its hold. The longer I was near her, the worse it got. And the cruelest part? She felt nothing.It had been days of this. Days of me standing at h

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    The Alpha Who Couldn't Control His Mate

    Helios' POVI couldn’t breathe. She was right there, close enough to touch, to claim, to command, but I had no power over her. And it was driving me insane. An Alpha without control. A mate without submission. A bond that only tightened the longer I stayed near her, yet she stood there, calm, unfazed, as if it meant nothing. As if I meant nothing.The Pack was watching and they could see my weakness. The whispers had already started. Although they were subtle, I wasn’t a fool. My wolves had noticed. They had seen their Alpha falter. They had seen me chase, Star. And worse, they had seen her ignore me.Starlight, an Omega, should have been at my feet. She should have been affected, trembling, weak to my presence. But she wasn’t. She was standing tall, sharp, and untouchable. Like she didn’t even need me. And that infuriated me more than anything.My Pheromones should have worked on her, yet my Omega runt never gave a reaction. I turned my gaze on her, letting my Alpha command bleed int

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    When Power Fails

    Helios POVI’ve always believed in power and that power meant control.For me, power meant dominance and I believed that I was meant to be obeyed. But Starlight is shattering every law I have ever known.Every second. Every breath, I feel her. The bond is there, alive, pulsing, unbreakable. The moment I step into a room, my body locks onto her like she’s the only thing that exists. Her scent should make me dizzy with pleasure and mine should make her dizzy with submission.I push my Alpha aura onto her, expecting her to wilt beneath it. But she doesn’t. She barely flinches like she doesn’t even feel it. As if my power, the very essence of what makes me Alpha, is nothing to her and I am nothing to her. That realization burns deeper than any wound I have ever suffered.Starlight is breaking me, without even trying and It’s been weeks. Weeks of pushing. Commanding. Cornering. Weeks of watching her meet every attempt with the same infuriating indifference. I try everything.Growling. Snar

    Starlight’s POVI should hate the Moon Goddess. For making me his. For tying my soul to the one person who made my life a living hell. But as I watch Helios struggle, his perfect composure crumbling piece by piece, I find myself whispering a silent prayer of thanks. Because this? This is poetic justice.Helios paces like a caged animal, because he's become the alpha who could control everyone but me. His shoulders are taut, his fists clenched, his wolf simmering beneath the surface. Every instinct in his body tells him that I should be his. That I should fold.That the bond should have me whimpering for his touch. It must be agonizing for him to realize… I am not affected the way he expects. Not entirely. I won’t lie to myself, I feel the pull. When he’s close, my heart betrays me, speeding up. His scent, dark cedarwood and crisp frost, prickles at my senses, tempting me.His voice, when he growls my name, sends chills down my spine. But here’s the thing about pain. If you endure enou

    Starlight’s POVI’d always dreamed of finding my mate. Not because I thought I deserved love, but because, for once, I wanted to feel like I belonged. That there was someone, just one person in this whole world, who would see me as more than the Moonlit Pack’s worthless runt. I should have known better.The moment I stepped into the grand hall for the Alpha’s coming-of-age ceremony, my heart clenched. A strange pull wrapped around me, tightening like an invisible chain, dragging me toward the one person I never wanted to be near.Helios. The son of the former Alpha. The strongest warrior in the pack. My tormentor. And now, my mate.I had no time to process the shock before his icy golden eyes locked onto mine. I shivered under the weight of his gaze, my breath hitching as his expression twisted into something ugly, disgust.“You?” His voice cut through the chatter in the room, laced with disbelief and simmering rage. The room fell silent. I felt every gaze turn toward me, felt the sne

    Helios’ POVI never wanted a mate. Not like this. Not her. Yet, here I was, sitting at the edge of an oversized hospital bed, watching over the runt who had somehow bound me to her with something stronger than a mere mate bond, her blood.It had been three days since I woke up to find Starlight beside me, pale and unmoving. Three days of watching her remain locked in that damn coma, her breathing too shallow for my liking. Three days of listening to my father and Elysia command me to stay by her side.Three days of my wolf growing increasingly restless every time I thought of leaving. I hated it. I hated how trapped I felt. Hated the way my instincts screamed at me to protect her, touch her, keep her close. I equally hated how my wolf refused to let me pull away.I clenched my fists, trying to ignore the way my body gravitated toward hers. Even now, with her unconscious, she had some kind of hold over me. "You shunned her. You denied her. And now you're stuck with her." My wolf had be
