[II]Rejecting My Mate
Last Updated:
2021-11-15 10:39:23"Viv?!"
Malakai's voice shouted in shock.
I mean, he's in as much shock as I am. But he was looking a bit upset at me. Like I was here to ruin his fun. But, before getting the wrong idea... let me explain the situation. It wasn't Mal who was making out with my soulmate... No, It was my other brother Cole. The three of them are smoking pot and sitting on the edge of the water fountain. This area was closed off from the rest by hedges and it was quiet over here. And to top this off, my soul mate just so happens to be- I smelled the air as I looked them over. Beta Emmett. AKA Cole's long-term boyfriend by four years now. F.O.U.R. Years. Yeah, four years. That means this JERK off started dating someone when I LEFT THE PICTURE!? I felt a growl erupt from my throat. I mean sure... we both didn't know... BUT STILL! A-and I've known the two of them had a thing for each other for so long now I was the one fooled into thinking they were soulmates.
Cole pulled away from Emmett with a blush on his face as he coughed out smoke. He looked at me with a friendly smile. "Hey, Viv? Wow! Mal didn't tell me you were here too," he said as friendly as he could be. All innocent. But Emmett on the other hand was already smelling the air. I could tell by the confused expresion crossing his face he didn't expect the scent as his head came face to face with me. Cole's expression fell blank as he watched the two of us and his face almost broke in tears as he got what was happening. "-I- Viv I swear I didn't know," he pleaded. Why was it Cole was apologizing? He's my brother, he doesn't have to. He looked like a little bunny as he looked towards Emmett in shock.
My heart and stomach crumbled. I felt the liquid come up and burn as I leaned over and hurled up the punch in front of me. When I finished barfing up that toxic drink my eyes landed on Emmett with complete hatred. I felt consumed with anger, jealousy, and hate. But it was all becoming self- in bound. I wasn't going to spend anymore time on this worthless scum.
"Tell me one thing," I hissed through my teeth at him. "Did you know?" I asked him sourly.
All werewolves don't smell their mates until after their first transformation. You don't get your inner wolf until you meet the moon goddess in your sleep. You don't meet her until after your first night asleep in wolf form.
So what I'm asking him is, did he already smell who I was when we met before I went to college. Before my first transformation. Before I had this moment meeting him.
I was very good at smelling a lie.
"No," he whispered. His eyes teared up as he went to stand up. Emmett was now walking towards with his arms out to protect himself. "I-I swear," he told me. "I didn't know it was you."
'LIAR,' Arwen growled out. I suddenly smelled blood. Emmett knelt down in pain and I wondered then as the blood smelled like his. Was she hurting his wolf? 'YOU SLEPT WITH THAT OTHER WOLF! YOU HAVE BEEN UNFAITHFUL! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?' Arwen asked with a sadness in her voice. My eyes flashed gold and I could see her red furred spirit barring teeth into another darker wolf spirit. She was pissed. I'm pissed.
"Are you two fucking serious?" Emmett growled out- his eyes also gold as he glared me down."Tell her to back down!" He commanded with the only authority he had- he was an beta. My beta. I nodded at Arwen as she backed away from his wolf. Blood seemed to spill out of her mouth. She howled in pain, because I was emotionally in pain.
"Yes she is," I said softly towards him.
"What for!? Because the Luna told you fairy tales when you met her? That one day you would find your soulmate?" He asked harshly. "Well now that you have, you see I've been enjoying my freedom while waiting for you. I've done nothing wrong."
"You have!" I yelled. "You, broke a code of oath. Passed down by generations in the werewolf code. Soulmates are supposed to be loyal to one another."
He broke out then into unexpected tears.
"Then why are you my mate?" He asked me suddenly. "I'm not attracted to you. Only to your scent."
My body felt sore as I pushed back the urge to puke. My eyes landed on Mal and Cole's shocked expressions as they were whitnessing this. I looked back at Emmett and shook my head. I too, found no attraction now to him. He was a monster in my eyes. Unfaithful. Nondesireable.
"I, I must confess... Four years ago I smelled you were my mate... but..." He trailed off in shame and lowered his eyes. "I've never been attracted to girls." He admitted as he looked over his shoulder at Cole. "But Cole on the other hand," he said. I felt the puke come back up as I leaned over and chunks came flying out. "We've been loyal to each other. Can you grant me blessings in being his ma-" I held up my hand to stop him from talking. I looked towards Cole.
Cole's eyes were filled with tears and shame of his own. Like his whole world was going to end.
Mal got up quickly and rushed suddenly to my side as I felt my knees giving up. I wrapped an arm around him as he helped me stand up. "Viv?" He asked me softly in my ear. "Are you okay? Can I take you home?" He asked me. He looked back at Emmett in anger. "I'll be telling Alpha Brendon about this and I hope he suspends you from your duties as Beta. You've dishonored the moon goddess and this pack," he growled through his teeth before looking at Cole. "And you? YOU'RE NO BROTHER OF MI-"
Oh Mal, he's never been so caring before for me. He's even threatening to disown his favorite brother? I had to stop him from finishing that.
"No Mal, he's done nothing wrong," I told him. "He didn't know, look at him." I motentioned to our broken hearted brother. My eyes landed on Emmett. I had to finish this once and for all.
"Listen carefully, I Vivenne Blair Ivanova from pack Scarlet Nightwalkers... Reject You, Emmett Benjamin Sawyer Beta of Scarlet Nightwalkers. We could never work out as mates. I would never want you as a mate," I told him. My heart felt like it was going to burst as I fell into Mal's arms. My eyes looking into Emmett's. "Do you accept?" I asked. "Say it!"
His next words cut like daggers to his scent.
"I accept," he barely whispered.

Mal remained by my side as I found myself in the pack house's kitchen. I leaned over the counter, dry heaving. My whole body was shaking from what I just done. You would think I was on the other end of rejection. "Here, please drink this," Mal said as he handed me a bottle of water. "You should probably hydrate." I took the bottle and downed it with just a few gulps. I tossed the bottle into the recycle bin. My heart felt like a thousand knives entered it... but I was still standing. I was trembling. "Can I drive you home?" Mal asked with a concerned voice. I shook my head and looked him in the eyes."No, Honestly I just want to take a bottle out to the woods and be alone." I started to empty my pockets, handing them over to him. "Can you take the car home?"Mal was awkwardly putting away my things into his pockets as he avoided making eye contact now."V-Viv, are you sure you want to go alone?""I have Arwen," I assu

Last Updated : 2021-11-26The Scarlet Luna [IV]Good Morning
'Wake up,' Arwen's voice echoed through my sore and throbbing mind. My throat was open wide when I woke up, drooling onto the pillow beneath me. I licked my dry lips and looked around to find myself in a stranger's bedroom. My body was freezing cold- but the heat coming from beside me told me I wasn't alone. I looked over my shoulder at the big spoon wrapping its arms around me. Who the hell is he?I don't recognize those cute freckles poudered lightly on his nose. The brown curls wildly spead out and covering his other facial features. I don't- I smelled him then. Alpha?"Alpha Brendon?" I asked softly in alarm. He didn't hear me as he continued to snooze. I couldn't budge from the grip he had around my waste. My heart was pounding in my chest now.We're both naked.Is this his room?'You don't remember?' Arwen asked me and I could hear the amusement in her voice."What don't I remember?" I asked softly.'Well you d
Last Updated : 2021-11-27The Scarlet Luna [V]The Alpha's Intentions
While I was stuck with a little Toyota Corolla, ALPHA Brendon was driving the latest Ford Mustang. My jaw dropped as we walked up to it parked in the pack's garage. This was only for designated family vehicles. He dressed up nicely too. He was wearing cologne that took away from his apple-cinnamon scent but it didn't take away from his looks. He had on sweatpants and a tank top. Obviously he planned to match my lazy look I had on. But damn... he still somehow managed to rock his outfit. He got the passenger's door for me and when I got in I almost cried from how nice it was compared to mine. I tensed up as he asked, "So, where do you live?""Uh-Ummm," I blushed as I shamefully couldn't remember the way. I'd have to explain now who my father was in hopes he'd know where the manor was... or have him on his phone."You also haven't told me what your name is," he chimed in as he waited. I looked down into my lap. I can't believe this. This is so embarassing. I'

I watched from a window by the door as Alpha Brendon drove off. I was almost convinced he'd join me in coming inside. But, he instead told me he had business to discuss with first. I think that business involved Emmett, but I didn't realize until after he kissed me goodbye. As his car disappeared from my view I could hear Arwen bark with excitement. Then howl. 'He kissed you goodbye! He's so hot~ and will be a good dad! I can't believe you're going to be a Luna! We better haul our luggage to the pack house today!'My stomach seemed to rumble then, reminding me I haven't ate at all today. I clutched it and turned around to look over the oversized entrance. I haven't been home in four years. "Arwen, do you think Mal carried my bags upstairs for me?" I asked softly as I tried to think about where I should look first.'He probably still has your keys. No harm in asking,' Arwen told me and I decided to smell the air. Father's scent was freshest going out the doo
Last Updated : 2021-11-27The Scarlet Luna [VII]To Save The Rejected
I spent most of my day unpacking after the shower. I wanted some time to think with Arwen so I locked the bedroom door just in case anyone decided to invade on my parade. I unpacked and took off all the white sheets. My room looked just how I left it. But obviously, mom came in right after I left to cover things up. I loved being here. It reminded me of my childhood hopes and dreams. That one day I would find a great love. The room was similar in size to Alpha Brendon's room. I even had a similar canope style bed frame. I was obsessed with the style at a young age.. My room was filled with dreamcatchers, decor flowers, and artwork from my four years of Art courses in high school. This room had a mini library thanks to all the time I spent in human form. Now that I think about it, this was Arwen's first time seeing my room. Because I never came home durring the breaks. The family would just come see us.When I was done unpacking, I sat down on the edge of my bed.

I didn't remember crossing over... But when I found myself in a dark forest.. I knew I was there. I was in Luna's territory. It existed in the great beyond. I was only permitted here in dreams, when welcomed. I knew I was here because it was a looming darkness... The only light came from the spirits that inhabited the dark forest. Arwen's wolf form trotted up to me. Her body glowed a blue hew. Our noses touched and I realized I too was in wolf form. We broke apart to howl. This was the call of the wild. It alerted the spirits we were here. The howl was meant for Moon Godess, Luna. Her name adapted for female Alpha's. A great honor to bestow upon someone.We sat in darkness, her glow soothed me from the darkness. What felt like forever, soon came to a hault as the sun seemed to be rising. The tree lines were noticable and suddenly the field we sat in- lit up to show off beautiful greenery. Luna, walked through the tree line to meet us. Her wolf form was huge, like an ele

I woke up feeling my phone buzzing. Someone was calling me. But more importantly, someone was knocking on my door frantically. "Honey! Open up!" It was Romona's voice on the other end. I looked down at my phone to see 100 miss calls from Alpha Brendon. "Vivienne Blair!" She shouted and used her mother's voice to try to get me to obey. I checked the time to see it was around midnight. Wow, I fell asleep around lunchtime…'Blair!' Arwen said in relief. 'What took you so long to cross back over?' She asked in a worried tone. I looked around in confusion as my head still felt foggy. I could hear voices on the other side of the door. Someone else was with Romona? I heard what sounded like a drill start up and I widened my eyes as I realized what was happening. They're taking my door off my hinges?!!"Mom!" I shouted and got to my feet but fell back down on the bed as the world seemed to spin. "Mom! I'm ok!" I told her and I heard the drill stop.

The Scarlet Luna [LXVIII]Rebirth Part B
Brendon's POV: I took the trailsinto the forst to the boarders of Lamia's territory. My only thoughts focused on saving Vivienne. She's my whole world now. There's nothing I want better then to find her alive still and save the day. I want to kiss her over and over and tell her I love her to the moon and back. Because, that's how far I'd go for her. I would go there all nine lives and come back to see her beautiful face. And our future children. And their future children. 'I'm coming, Vivienne... I'm coming. Just wait a little longer.'I knew she couldn't hear me but I decided to talk to myself. To keep from the thoughts of loosing Steele to talk to. I would have kept marching forward but the forest seemed to move in front of me before I could reach the borders. I instantly caught a glimpse of wolves in the distance. I hid quickly under the shelter of a heavy brush. I decided to keep quiet if I was going
The Scarlet Luna [LXVIII]Rebirth Part A
Vivienne's POV: "What happened?" The words flung out of my lips as I couldn't think of what else to ask. "What happened to my pack when they got here?" I balled my first. I was angry. There was no sense in her killing them. "I know you didn't kill all of them." She clearly took the survivors away someplace. The woman I once thought that I could never compare to and still agree with... sat down in front of the window in a red velvet chair. She crossed her arms and pushed her black cloack over her knees and smoothed the cloth. Her posture was well defined where she sat. Lamia's stileto signature heels pointed like fangs into the hardwood floors and created a puncture. I held a gaze with her but my eyes couldn't help spot the bloodstair hiding in the crook of her red lipstick smirk. "This reminds me of the first time I saw you," she said as she looked to the floor. "but, you're not waking up from being overdosed. You're here under new circumstances. You can at least say hello. Are we no
The Scarlet Luna [LXVII]Twisted Up Part B
Cole's POV: The warehouse.As Andrew once was held captive in and can now describe to me. It was a humid building. With wire cages no bigger then four by four and stacked on top of one another. It was huge inside. And, a storage for what my brother Niall and Lamia had been working on these past few years. It was a savage hell hole to look at. Because the cages were small and hardly any room to move in. This building was used for storage. And, this was an obvious building for werewolf trafficing. Apparently... Places like the Lycanthrope wasn't rare. And, there was many other reasons for wanting your own wolf-trasforming pet. Sometimes people that went into the warehouse... never came back out. And, my pack was forced in there when Lamia raided my pack's territory. As much as my brother's warning for me to leave stuck in my head.... I couldn't shake the feeling I needed to find my twin.Nena was in trouble. And, she needed me bad. It didn't take
The Scarlet Luna [LXVII]Twisted Up Part A
Vivienne's POV: "Do not worry... princess." Aaragorn looked from me to his pack mates and nodded in their way. "My pack has orders to follow behind yours. If they do not succeed in stopping your pack..." He reached out and smeared away a tear running down my cheek. "We'll hurry and try to convince them to st-" "We can't stop them! They're too far gone, Aaragorn. Don't you see? They're acting on their own. They're going to do it and I need your pack to just fight amongst mine." He wrinkled up his nose. The nice expression he had now fading. "WE are cowards," I muttered. "I don't think either of us should be leaders." Aaragorn smacked me against my face. The impact leaving a sting on my skin. I whimpered from surprise. My fingers touching my sore cheek. It was already beginning to swell. "I am not a coward." He was begining to growl. "I'm a fucking alpha. My pack is going to save yours in this bloody fucking mess... and when we do. You'll BE my luna. Because of how much you'll be in
The Scarlet Luna [LXVI]The Protectors
Continuing Brendon's POV: A monitor's noise started up as it was forced on. And, the familiar sounds of a heart monitor hit my ears. It was familiar- from when I heard Vivienne's moving. Or, Innath's. I felt a force of air push into my lungs and I opened my eyes. I was stuck under a white sheet. My body was numb. I couldn't move it just yet. What happened to me? Where am I? Where's Vivienne? "VIVIENNE?" I yelled and heard my voice echo through the empty room. I smelled the air and remembered where I was. Why am I still in Blacktail Growler's territory?? And, where is everyone? Why isn't Vivienne next to me? I sat up quickly and yanked the sheet off of me. I ran my hand over my chest as I felt for any wounds. I was healed. I was fine. I am breathing. My feet hit the floor as I moved too fast. I yanked off the monitors and the IV piercing my skin. I spun around the room before walking towards the door. I pushed through and looked down the hall.
The Scarlet Luna [LXV]Where Loyalty Lies
Continuing Brendon's POV:We followed Mateo through the woods until he came across the scent markers for Everfur's territory. Once he crossed the borders he met with a few of their wolves guarding nearby. They escorted him to the pack's town hall. This is where Everfur's pack held meetings. Their pack territory- to my knowledge wasn't centered through a pack house but a town hall. The pack house was non-existent to them. Instead, they worked more as a town. And, their alpha like a mayor. Alpha Rivera was a kind woman when I did get the chance to meet her. She's lucky to have my sister as her luna.It seemed like most of Everfur's pack members were already arrived at the pack's town hall. They were already gathering for a meeting. Mateo shifted into his human form in an alley and changed with the ones he was being escorted by. They had extra clothes hidden in a trash bin. There wasn't any trash of course inside the bin."That's again," he said to accompanying wol
The Scarlet Luna [LXIV]The Night Hunters Pack
Brendon's POV:"In order for your nine lives to be granted I first require you go see Fang. His blessing will be the only reason I will grant you these extra lives.""Why does his opinion matter?""He'll first want to speak to you. You also remind me a lot of him. It's like the past will repeat itself if I grant you these lives. I want to be positive the past will not become the present. Once you speak with Fang and still feel strong about your decision on these nine lives... I will give them to you to do as you please.""I assure you Luna... I will not be repeating past mistakes."...My snout followed Fang's familiar scent. Luna's forest was absence of light the farther I ran from her. It was like the world itself here was nothing... without her. I ran as fast as I could. My emotions becoming heavy as I wondered... what if I don't make it to Vivienne in enough time? What if she dies and I have to live nine lives... without her? All because I'm taking too long to find Fang! I stopp
The Scarlet Luna [LXIII]Running From The Scythe
Continuing Niall's POV:"M-Meynard!" Lamia's voice chocked out. Her body started to fall towards the fire but I caught her in enough time. I gently lowered her to the floor. My eyes glanced into hers as I remembered... even if this woman is a bloodsucking monster... I still loved her. I grasped her hand as I yanked out the knife from her back. What have I done? I threw the knife away from us."Lamia," I whispered gently. It was interrupted as the door came off its hinges. Meynard had kicked it down. He glared in at me as his arm started to morph. His skin reshaped into a strong blade of a scythe. It was horrifying to see once again. My teeth clenched. I'm not like vampires... if he chops my limbs off I will die. I have to be careful. He doesn't have emotions. He only knows to protect Lamia without hesitation."What have you done?" He asked. His eyes held confusion. Since Lamia told him once before he couldn't kill me. He was hesitating to make sure he woul
