AustinToday is my 26th birthday and I will now start dating with the thought of finding a love match. I was not lucky enough to have a second chance mate so now I will try to find someone on my own and mark them as mine. It is not as strong as a mated bond but I will love them with all my heart. I am the Beta of my pack and I need to show that the hand I have been given does not have to mean I can't lead our warriors well. I want a family and a love so much and I am ready for this. I did have a mate but that was a blight on my life. I was about to turn 18 and take over as Beta. On our 18th birthdays Betas and Alphas are given a mate by the Moon Goddess. Other pack members have mates but they can come a little later as mates are within a few years of age of each other. Our mates are specifically picked by the Goddess for us based on our strengths and weaknesses and are usually within a certain physical proximity to each other, hence why most families do not move around much once they
AndrewIt is interesting to be me. After cousin Xavier died my parents didn't tell me much but I did ask around. My parents used to think like my aunt and uncle but after the investigation they have given in a bit and realize that same sex mates are real. They still are homophobic bastards but they are not as enraged by the concept as they used to be. The interesting part is that they seem to be willing to accept that I like men if the Moon Goddess says it is okay but not if I say so. I have had one boyfriend, Trent, in my life and Judith, my best friend, knew about him. She even encouraged me to go out with him as long as I gave her all of the details. I really liked him and Judith was shocked when I broke up with him. I never told her the real reason we broke it off. We got along really well. He was my first kiss. He was my first hand job and my first attempt at giving a very crappy blowjob too. He was not very large in that area but he kept trying to control my head and pus
AustinHe looks so much like Xavier that I can't stop staring. He also looks very young. To young to have already have lost a mate. He is very small. Smaller then any adult male pack member I have ever seen. He is beautiful, just like Xavier was. Now that my wolf has recognized him his scent is overwhelming me and he smells delicious. Like apples and cinnamon. Why didn't I smell him before?He looks almost scared and my heart starts beating fast. I don't think I can survive another rejection. This cannot happen again. I reached out for him and he flinched at first but let me touch his cheek gently. I could see that his wolf was right at the surface trying to take over. He must have been looking for me. I find myself wondering how long ago he lost his mate and why I don't seem to know him. "What is your name?""An..Andrew Beta Austin." He tilted his head down in a sign of respect and submission, his brown hair falling into his face. "How long has it been since you lost your mate?" H
Andrew"Don't get mad and hear me out." That is how Judith started our conversation this morning after I got to school. I really wanted to talk to her about what happened last night with Beta Austin because I was literally reeling right now but with a start like that I don't know where to go from here. I haven't mentioned to anyone yet that he is my mate. "Okay..." She looks nervous but dives right in, speaking so fast I have a hard time concentrating."So I know you have asked me before why I would have ever approached you on that first day of high school and why I would stick with you all these years. First let me tell you that you are my best friend and nothing that made me approach you that first day changes how much I love you and never want to not be your best friend. So Alpha Elijah asked me to approach you and befriend you so I could protect you and take care of you all those years ago. Now I can see your face right now and I just need you to let me talk and get this al
AustinMy wolf has been antsy since we left Andrew last night; worrying that he might harm himself or reject us, I imagine. I have been trying to concentrate on the border shuffle updates on my desk but I don't think I have made any headway. Elijah enters my small office just off of his to see what I am up to and he immediately notices that I look tired and withdrawn."What is wrong, Austin?""Well I didn't want to say anything because I want to give him time but I found my second chance mate last night." I note that Elijah does not look shocked at all, which seems odd."Oh, and who is he, you did say 'him', correct?""Why don't you look surprised at all? What aren't you telling me, Elijah?""Okay, so I am going to assume that your mate is Andrew Phillips, correct? I suspected it might be him years ago and have had a guard protecting him for me, and you, in hopes that it was him. Remember that theory we found about the Moon Goddess assigning a relative in error as a mate and you dismi
AustinI don't know how I made it through that dinner of small talk without marking him right there in front of everyone. Everything about Andrew had my wolf screaming for him. But as I was realizing my human side was so aroused by him it was intoxicating. I have next to no experience and all I want to do is kiss him and do all kinds of unmentionable things to him. I have had a few kisses in my life since that first chaste kiss with Xavier all those years ago. None were initiated by me as I wanted to wait for my mate and only one could be considered enjoyable as it was a woman that I actually found very attractive that I was hoping to date as a potential love match if I didn't find my second chance mate. As we left the restaurant Andrew walked close to me without touching me and I found myself swinging my arms in such a way to try and brush it against his. I felt like a teenager with a crush. I had butterflies in my stomach as I kept stealing glances at the top of his head. He never
AndrewI was so nervous when Anastasia placed her fingers on our temples but holding Beta Austin's hands seemed to calm me down. The tingling from her test, or whatever it is called, was uncomfortable but not terrible. When I heard her gasp I was expecting the worst. I was confused for a second by what I was seeing and as she spoke I started to understand that our bond was unique and special not just because it was bright without the mark but because it was white. I have no idea what that means but she seemed very excited about it. Alpha Elijah immediately called my parents to join us in his office. I was so nervous because I had no idea what to expect. I didn't even tell them I had a mate. They knew nothing of what they were walking into. I asked Alpha Elijah if we could start with just him and I talking to my parents and Beta Austin looked hurt but they both nodded and Beta Austin said he understood. He left with Anastasia to wait in his office attached to the Alpha's office. When
AustinI could tell that Andrew was upset by what happened but also very nervous. I have two spare rooms in my area in the pack house and one has an ensuite so I will give him that space as his. I'm sure as we get to know each other we will share a room but with our situation I don't want to make him uncomfortable. To be honest I am also doing this for myself. Most mates mark and mate within the first few days of realizing they are bonded but I have been saving myself for so long and never thought I would find my mate so arousing on a human level that I am a bit scared to mess this all up. He is so small and fragile looking but also feisty that I am not sure where to even start. My wolf keeps trying to push forward and take over but I don't just want to dominate my mate, I want to love him. I explained to Andrew that the building teams would close off our space over the next few days leaving us with three bedrooms, a full kitchen, living room, den, office, and eating nook. I gave him
Unknown POV“I helped you at the start because I didn’t want that ass, Bennett, going against our Alpha. Once we realized he was mated to that Omega I knew we had to break him sooner. I can’t believe you screwed this up so bad, Augustus. We always got you the best Omegas because you were so good at getting them to bend to us but I regret trusting you with this. I should have left you for dead after our pack was attacked. Do you know what will happen if those two supers mate? Do you know how strong they will be?”I slapped Augustus hard across the face then spit on him. He was very broken and not healing properly so maybe the waste of space will still die.“I’m sorry, Zane. I thought I was breaking him. I under estimated the power he held as he has always been so submissive. Please let me redeem myself.”He whimpered like a child. My scouts let me know that the supers were given a pack to rehabilitate so they are not under the protection of their pack for the time being. They also said
DominicMy bond has been magically broken with my ‘mate’ but I didn’t really care. I knew that my love, Melissa, was torn from me and my baby did not make it. I KNEW that I do not feel for Micheal what a mate should. Despite knowing in my heart who my bond is with when we went through the ritual I felt like my wolf was being torn from me. My wolf had been howling at me for years that I was wrong. That Melissa was not for me. I fought with my heart because I knew in my head that I was never bonded to HIM. That is I thought I knew that until my memories started coming back. I remembered his beautiful smile first. I dreamed of the joy I once brought to him when we would hang out. For two years I had courted him with the intent that when he felt the bond we could be mated right away. The day after my birthday, when I had already confirmed that my thoughts of him being my mate, were correct, I met Melissa. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. The strong love I felt for her was am
EzraNot long after Astra’s early mating was completed Bennett and I approached the Alpha about our situation. Given his trauma, the Alpha told us we had to complete therapy together and individually before he would be okay with us mating early. We could do it without his approval but I agreed that Bennett needed it and what harm would it be if I also attended. Our couple’s therapy was really helpful for working through the hurt we caused each other when we first met. As I didn’t feel the bond yet we also talked about Bennett’s hurt from my ‘cheating’. During my personal appointments we discussed everything, including my self hate for not realizing Bennett was in trouble. Our therapist was building me up and making me love myself enough to feel worthy of Bennett. We discussed my kinks and how I hoped to include them in our sexual relationship but was fearful of how Bennett would react. I guess Bennett had talked to the therapist about something along these lines also because our next
I apologize as the first posting of this chapter got lost and I had to rewrite it. AstraIsaac’s brother, Second Beta Michael, is finally old enough to feel the mate bond and Beta Dominic was less then receptive when he acknowledged it so Second Beta Michael asked for the bond to be broken. Given their situation it was approved. They were told they would most likely never have a second chance mate so they are free to actively look for a chosen mate. After witnessing all of that hurt and pain I asked Isaac if he would like to request we bond before he feels the mate bond. Over the last almost year of me getting to know him I feel that he is trustworthy and a good mate to me. He agreed so we will be asking Alpha Jeremiah to allow us to mate early. Technically we don’t need to ask but out of respect for our pack we want to ensure there is no fight over whether the bond is a lie or not. Anastasia confirmed our bond again, as she had done it in the past, the cord from my chest floating
JeremiahWe have been planning to infiltrate Bennett and Lucas’ old pack so we can get as many of the abused wolves out as possible. We know they are not all Omegas but we will be focusing on freeing them first as they are clearly the ones that are most in need of our help right now. If all goes well we may be able to take out the whole pack leadership and free everyone. I was in my office working on our plans, while on the phone with Taylor as she is better with strategizing, when there was a knock on the door. “Enter” I called out to the person knocking. “I am sorry to bother you Alpha but I have something to report.” This was Tatum Miller, a warrior wolf whose mate left him in the night. He has suffered greatly feeling his mate cheating on him for about two years now. He has regular therapy sessions and has been holding out on having the bond broken, either through rejection or magical means, as he hopes his mate will change his ways. Tatum’s mate was an adorable Omega from one o
Ezra I was more uncomfortable with my mate having a child with another then I let on but how could I fault him for wanting to protect himself and these Omegas by doing as told. One of the Omegas told me some of things that would happen if Lucas or Bennett ever didn’t do to them as they were told. I could not understand at first why Bennett didn’t just use his Super Alpha strength to get away but as the day went on I started to get it. He couldn’t leave them all there. He had to help however he could. The doctor came in and was talking to Alex, Lucas and Bennett about the pregnancy. I was over by an Omega named Zander listening in. “So it is almost impossible for someone other then your mate, chosen or fated, to inpregnant you. It can happen but usually only a strong Alpha can with an Omega. You are an Omega and Bennett is a strong Alpha but you both already know who your mates are so your body would reject the pregnancy as your wolf wants your mate’s babies. Over time your body wou
EzraIt has been a few weeks since Bennett left with his pack mates to go home. I gave him my number but the only message I have received was very confusing. His text said that he was home and would be thinking over keeping me as a mate. He seemed so willing to take me as I am but now he said he had to think about us. I tried to put Bennett out of my mind while I trained with Timothy to hone my powers a bit more. I did some training with the pack m no that I am over 16, almost 17 now, but Timothy was helping me personally as he has kind of filled an uncle role in my life. My parents were busy making themselves useful for the pack and Astra was trying to accept Isaac as her mate. One day we were near the forest edge with one of the warriors having him fight Timothy and I would use my powers to heal Timothy or make his injuries worse. We stopped when we heard a whine just past the border through the woods. Timothy and Zack, the warrior, started to rush to the noise. Zack howled to a
BennettI cannot believe that I ever listened to my idiot friends on how to get my mate to come to me. What is worse is I had no idea that one of them liked me and was manipulating me to make me his. I confronted him in the car back to our pack. “How long have you liked me? Why did you purposely attempt to weaken my bond with my mate? If you actually loved me you would have told me or felt happy knowing I would be happy with my mate. What you did isn’t love. It was selfish and evil.”Augustus smirked as he answered “Oh I don’t love you but you are mine. No one else can touch you. I have known since the day we met that I would ruin you and make you mine. I WILL possess you! I am very selfish and evil. I’m glad I don’t have to hide it anymore. Lucas has already admitted defeat and is my pet and you will also be. That puny Omega brat can’t have you. I will kill him before I will ever let that happen!”Lucas, the one we usually hung out with, looked at me with pity and guilt. He softly s
Michael,I am happy for them… I swear! I’m not jealous at all of my little brother having a mate that tries to make it work. Astra has a lot of trust issues but still puts effort into forming their bond. Isaac can’t feel the mate bond yet but he is fully courting Astra. Okay, I am very jealous. My mate claimed to have loved me for a while and I had a huge crush on him but he never tried at all! I am not far away from my 18th birthday now and Dominic is still hung up on the hag. He sometimes looks at me with interest but he told me one time it was just the bond and he still felt so much for Melissa. He doesn’t even remember much of me from when we were growing up! Matthew and Jeremiah were doing amazing. Even Taylor and Nathan were making some sort of progress. Dominic was still very handsome but he looked so tired and haggard all the time. My crush on him is long gone at this point as it just hurts. He still tells stories of all the fun things him and Melissa did even though he know
