//Emily \\“ Bella is my mate “ Zander repeated himself .I was speechless. The girl I encountered at my introduction ceremony didn’t give a vibe of someone who has a mate rather, she sounded like Zane’s jealous mistress “We heard you the first time.” Zane huffed doubtfully “How is she your mate? You turned eighteen three years ago and the last time I heard you were still looking for your mate”“ I found her three years ago. It‘s Bella ““ That can’t be … Bella had been trying to get my attention for years”“I know that Zane. She rejected me three years back ““ Then she is not your mate . You accepted the rejection right? “Zane looked skeptically at Zander.“ No I didn’t, I couldn’t do it” he stated with an unbearable pain in his voice “ why didn’t you tell me …us?” Zane’s eyes flashed with a new emotion, guilt and regret.“ I was embarrassed to” Zander’s tone was solemn.“ Embarrassed??” Zane looked at Zander in disbelieve “what about now?”“ Zane, I want you to ask something of
//Zane\\Later that evening when most of the pack members had returned into the comfort of their homes.We stood outside the house and I watched as Zander threw a bunch of bags inside his SUV .My heart ached for him. He has gone through so much for three good years .I was so absorbed my own pain to see how much the people around me were suffering.Watching him get ready to leave didn’t sit well with me. I wasn’t used to not seeing him at home.But I know he needs this. He needs time to himself. I just hope he realize he did the right thing by accepting Bella’s rejection. He deserves the best. Not a clinching whore or a woman who takes his love for granted.“It’s time to go”Zander smiled and his smile didn’t reach his eyesI nodded “ what do you want me to tell mom and dad when they ask?”“ Tell them I am visiting Andrew. I will call them when I arrive in France “I bobbed my head and gazed at my look alike emotionally “I’m sorry I was absent when you needed your elder brother. Take
//Unknown \\“What? What do you mean he has found another woman?” I asked in a demanding tone.My mother’s words were not making any sense to me.“He is smitten with her, dear. If you don’t come back now, you will lose him forever. He banished us from the pack just by speaking against her. Who knows what he will do for now that she is marked” my dad commented.“He has marked her!”I was confused. How can Zane love another woman? Zane and I are mates. We were paired by the moon goddess but we never completed the mating ceremony.We had sex and all but I prevented him from marking me. I didn’t want to be claimed by him but we were mates nevertheless. He adored me. He used to look at me as if I was his entire universe. His world. He worshipped the ground I walk on.From a distance, I saw how broken and dejected he was after I staged my death.I had never seen any man look so pathetic and lost as Zane, in the last four years.So what do they mean by he has found a replacement. He has cla
//Emily \\A month later.I slowly began to get into a normal routine in the pack and before I knew it, it was a day before my Luna ceremony. Golden lycan pack was planning a big ceremony tomorrow night when the full moon is out.Mariam was like a sheriff providing strict instructions to the omegas for the event. Everywhere was busy with omegas and pack members running up and down.With some tripping and causing accidents.“Concentrate Emily” Theodore barked lurching at me.I never thought that training with a lycan would be so exciting. Don’t get me wrong. Training at the beginning was hard and difficult but now that I was used to Theodore’s brutal training methods . It was much exciting and easy.Theo has been my protector and trainer for the past four weeks. I spend most of my day training with him.I quickly dodged and smirked.” Sorry to disappoint you, Theo. I’m faster now”“Sure you are... all thanks to me. Your skillful teacher ““Don’t be cocky Theo... it doesn’t suit you” I g
//Emily \\“Is that an album!”“Yes it is” she giggled and pulled it out of it’s hiding place as she opened it.“Zane will kill me for showing you this! He is probably the caring and loving son. He has always been the family’s protector even at a young age. Mira and Zander! Not so much. “ she smiled flapping through old album and running her hands over the pictures.And showing me the most embarrassing pictures she had of Zane and Zander. I swear the pictures were hilarious.“This one is my favorite “ she giggled “Is that Zane and Zander??” my eyes widened. She nodded pointing to a picture of a six year old Zane and about three year old Zander dressed in a feminine clothes with their hair held into two high ponytail.They looked so adorable and looked like girls. I giggled at the picture.“Before Mira was born. I wanted a girl . It was so bad that I couldn’t help it but dress my sons up like girls. Ohh.... Emily, you should have seen them. They were so beautiful and girly. The first
//Alaric \\Lance, my wolf stretched his long wolf legs happily and bounded off running along the borders of the pack. It been weeks since we improved the security system of the pack.As the pack’s delta, I have make it a point to patrol around the borders every evening to make sure things are running smoothly at the four borders of the pack land. Wind rushed through my fur and the rustling sound of the leaves penetrated through my ears. The fresh evening breeze runs through my brown fur and the natural earthly smell of the leaves infiltrated my nose.I run along the perimeter with my wolf eyes scanning the area for threats.“Guys , how is it going at the north border?” I asked the patrol teams through the mind link.“Peaceful, delta” replied the head of the north patrol team.“What of east border?”“Good”“South?”“Normal delta”“West”“Nothing yet”“Cool . Keep me posted of any danger” I told the four teams and closed off my link.I continue my patrol running through the wood when
//Zane\\“Is this the place ?” I asked Alaric when we got to a clearing few meters from the pack border.“Yes Alpha “ he answered “ she was standing there, between these two large trees”I walked around the area sniffing the air to check if my sense of smell could pick any foreign scent. But I got nothing.I glance back at Alaric “There is nothing here, Alaric. I am beginning to wonder... how exactly did she escape you? She is a human for gods sake”“I swear to you, Zane. She was here. Right there staring at me.” Alaric stated sternly. He was nervous. He didn’t want to be seen as a liar. But I believe he saw something.I exhaled and walked further into the woods, that was when my nose picked up a coconut smell. Davina?This scent wasn’t new to me. It smelled just like her .My heart began to increase in beats as I strolled following the scent, when my eyes found something.The one thing I never thought I will see again. It laid on the floor shining brightly in the dark woods. It was t
//Emily \\I slowly opened my eyes and stared into the face of the man who is my mate, my everything. His eyes were shut as he sleep but I could see that he was having a nightmare by the way his forehead creases and his muscles tenses.I reached out and lightly rubbed his forehead. My mate relaxed under my touch and a deep sigh escaped his lips as he went back into a deep sleep.A bight smile tugged my lips and my mind went back to our chat in the woods.**Flashback **“Davina is alive!” I exclaimed. My voice was small and foreign.“Yes Red, Davina is alive! I’m scared that you will leave me if she comes back to the pack.”His voice and remarks repeated over thousand times in my head.Just how?“How could she be alive?”“I don’t know ,red. She came by his evening and Alaric saw her. Then she disappeared. I believe this will not be the last time we see her. We would be seeing more of her in the coming days.”For a brief minutes, l couldn’t find my voice. I heard what Mariam, Mira and Z
