"What are fated mates, and why am I one?" I asked, seeming to be confused by her words. She had confirmed that Rebecca was the chosen, which meant she had to be with Aiden, and his Luna. Which gutted me, but I wanted to know how, I and my pup fitted in this scenario. "In ancient times, before humans knew about werewolves and tried to slaughter us all, every werewolves had their mate. A fated mate. A chosen mate was rare, reserved only for widows and widowers. Once a wolf turned eighteen they moved out of their packs, and went hunting for their mates. It took years for some, while it took some found them within weeks. But it was a pride for werewolves to find their other half. The person the goddess had simply created for them. But after the war, mates started being rare, and soon they were long forgotten. That's how the season came about, but you Eveline are a fated mate to Aiden. You have a bond even you two can't deny. Your souls call to one another, and as much or hard as you
Aiden. I heard the first shot, just a mile before I got to the cottage. I could feel it, my mate was in danger but what I didn't expect was to see my mother's car parked there also. Before I could wonder how she knew Euphoria was here, the smell of gunpowder and copper tainted the air. I ran inside the small cottage only to be met with the lifeless body of the Seer on the floor, covered in her blood. There was no sign of my mother or Euphoria. But there was a set of blood leading to the kitchen which I followed with a heavy hard. It's either it was the blood that belonged to my mother or my mate. I don't know which one was worse. The blood led me to the garden where I found my mother crouching in pain, but still moving towards the forest. You could see she was in a lot of pain, but trying to endure, and move forward despite that. "Mom" I called out, and relief passed through her eyes when she saw me. I hugged her waist and sat her down, but she refused pushing me towards the for
"I lived in the forest for years, there is nowhere to run, little one. If you come out now willingly, I am going to make your death quick and painless but if I have to find you myself, you're going to regret the day you agreed to join the season." Andrew called out. He didn't think I was stupid enough to come out, did he? Who comes out to die even if you promise them a quick death? He was delusional. He shot his sister, and now he was hunting me. Who was the person mated to him? Just the air near him seemed to turn cold, and gave me shivers. Imagine having to live with this monster. I also grew up in the forest. Got trained by my father to hunt, and be hunted. He showed me ways to hide, and how to hide your scent when hunted. Andrew didn't scare me, because he could never find me in this forest.We will see who knows the forest better.My hoodie was already a hundred feet from where I was, leading him further away from where I was while I on the other hand hid on top of the old ro
"I have killed a man!" That's all I heard when I got to my mate. I had never ran that fast in my life. I was so distracted by the scent of blood that was mixed with her scent, I didn't realise the blood was not hers until I got there and found her walking aimlessly in the forest, a severed head on her hand, and she didn't seem lucid enough to see me. "Babe, it's me. Please snap out of it. We need to go." I would have carried her, but she didn't want to let go of the bloody head. I wanted to know what happened to her, and whose bloody head she was holding, and wouldn't let go of."I killed him, I killed a man, '' she repeated, and I could see the trauma in her eyes. The trauma of killing someone, can get to you, and it didn't help that now all her senses were on overload because of the pup she was carrying. My pup. Many things were happening in our lives that we didn't have time to talk about or acknowledge what we felt. I hate knowing she thinks I don't care about her, and now she
"Aiden, calm down. We don't know the whole story." I tried to make him understand even though I didn't. It was a hard line to cross, but I needed him focused. The pack needed him focused so we didn't have much time. The full moon is in two days, and we can't let the change of power ceremony take place. "He is my father, Euphoria. How can he do that to me and my mother? How could he?" He paced in the living room, his fist clenched hard, and his skin turning pale. I get that he was upset, but right now that's not what we need. I needed Aiden the Alpha, not Aiden the child. I wanted him to be able to fight this, and we can deal with everything that happened afterwards. "I understand you're upset, so is the rest of us, but we have pressing matters at hand. We can't let the ceremony happen but we lack manpower. All the deltas, and warriors are supporting the Williams, and we can't tell the pack what is going on because they will panic, and wolves don't do very well." I told him hoping
"Join me!" His husky voice whispered when I gave him a towel at the bathroom door.He was tempting me, and he knew it. Those ripped muscles were begging to be touched, run fingers on them, and that tight ass that was begging me to bite it. I was meaning to do it at the river but shit happened and I forgot about that tight ass until now. "I can't." I answered even though everything in me was begging me to jump him, and make right the wrong of our mating night. He came closer, his bare chest within reach, and his mouth so close I could kiss. "Can't or won't?" He asked, trapping me on the door, and I could swear I felt his cock twitching on my stomach. My panties got wet at the same time, but I knew we couldn't do it. Not today. "Can't!" I repeated. "Why is that?" This time his mouth was on my ear. Why wasn't I pushing him away? I know it felt good to be with him again like this, but this isn't the right time. "You just lost your mother, and we are burying her in a few hours" I re
We cremated Luna at dawn, and I held Aiden's hand tight as he watched his mother's body burn. By the time we woke up, everything was ready. Jerome, and Amy prepared the ceremony and even went back to fetch the Seer. The ceremonial white cloths were already wrapped around them both. The wood set up, and gasoline soaking their dead bodies. All we did was show up, and let Aiden do the honours of lighting the first match. Even a strong man breaks at the sight of what happened but Aiden couldn't. All you could see was the tears on his cheek, and how tight he was holding my hand as evidence that he was hurting. "Aiden, it is time to say your goodbye's, and say your last wishes." Amy told him, but I didn't know if he could do it. I know how it feels to lose a parent and I could barely say two words at my father's funeral. "I am here for you." I whispered, squeezing his hand as a form of my support. I couldn't help but feel guilty for this. If Luna hadn't come with me to see the Seer, sh
"Eveline Marcus Richy!" Terrence greeted with a big smile on his face. He was one of the kids I used to train with in what my father used to call a parlour so the higher-ups wouldn't know it was a training ground. He was smart like that. Who would have thought something called a parlour would have wolves running track, learning self defence, and becoming warrior's in their own right? Beta Williams may not have liked being challenged by my father or failed him because of his status so, he wouldn't become a warrior but that didn't take his passion away. He took his skills elsewhere, and decided to teach in the pack. The parlour wasn't big, having about fifteen males, and about five pups including me, but we learnt a lot, and Terrence Brody was the only pup that managed to challenge me, and almost won, but that was on my sick day. "Terrence "sore loser" Brody. How is your arm?" I teased. I was a little surprised when I got to the parlour and it was open. Everyone was still there tr
"Yes baby, just like that!" I moaned, clutching the linen. His tongue slipped in and out of my swollen, and pulsing entrance.This was the best thing I loved about our mornings. No kids, no responsibilities. Just me, and my husband falling in love over and over again. The road hasn't been easy, and we knew that from the beginning but I loved most of it, especially after we got married and we settled into our daily responsibilities. "You love my tongue, don't you?" He asked even though he knew the answer. I loved his whole damn mouth. The things his teeth can do to my clit, oh moon goddess it was fire. "You fucken know it, now stop talking and give me what is mine!" I moaned, when he teased my clit by nipping and sucking it. Five years of this but I was still panting like it's the first time. It was so good. "On your fucken stomach mate!" He growled, kissing my navel, which made me whine. I loved where he was previously sucking but I knew what's to come was much better. I like thi
"Are you going to tell me what you've been up to or not?" I asked my sister who was fixing my hair. She had been scarce for a couple of months now, and I wondered if she was following up with her vergence plan. "This is your wedding day, Eva. Enjoy it. Don't let my problems become yours. You have too much to deal with already. It's not easy raising two pups." Again she refused to tell me anything. Didn't she understand that I will always be worried about her? She was my sister, and pups or not that will never change. "I am worried about you. You can't live your life changing ghosts, by living a lie. That's not what I wish for you." "Lies? You want to talk about lies? Tell me, little sister? Because I didn't ask questions when I found out Rebecca died and suddenly you had twins. Mind your own damn business and I will do the same. I didn't come here to fight with you. I came to enjoy my sister's wedding day. Let's be happy, and enjoy it okay?" I nodded, suddenly quiet. I forgot ho
The future's not set in stone. That was the words running through my head for the last couple of weeks. Today was the day I was going to be appointed as Luna. It should have been two weeks ago but again, Rebecca had her minions who fought tooth and nail to make sure it didn't happen but as always Seer was in our corner and I already gave birth to Aiden's baby, making sure the haters didn't have much to work with. I was in the season, which worked as an advantage too. "Are you ready?" Aiden asked ready to get this over with, and tonight would be the first time we mated since I gave birth and I'm not counting the three months before that. Truthfully it had been a long time. He couldn't wait, and the truth is neither could I. Finally knowing he is mine for the rest of my life, would make me whole, complete. I was ready to leave the stress behind, and start anew. "Been ready since the first day I met you." I said handing the pup's to him. "Good luck!" He whispered as I walked away t
Seer. The truth is, both the women gave birth nearly seconds apart, I didn't know which child was born first, and I had promised Eva not to tell her either but this time the goddess played a prank on me too, since I didn't know either. But…That was the least of our problems right now. "Give me my fucken son. I want to hold him, why are you resisting and why the fuck did you send Eva outside. What are you two playing at? Are you the one going to finally kill me, because I swear to you on my dead mother's ashes, you will not succeed." Rebecca whined. Why are she-wolves in this pack so whiny? In my opinion, especially when you're bleeding out or tried to kill yourself just an hour ago or two ago, you should not be accusing anyone of trying to kill you. You just did the same to yourself. "Listen here you little bitch, if I wanted you dead, I would have left you for dead in Eva's kitchen but I am not your prosecutor, and as evil as you're. I don't wish anyone dead but if you do, tha
"Aiden!" I whispered but he heard me nonetheless. He wasn't supposed to come back now. We still had an hour before our plan could be a success. He wasn't supposed to know which child belonged to whom yet, nor did I. That was the only promise I made to the Seer before we executed the plan. I wanted to treat the pups the same. Not knowing would make that easy. I know I still have a lot of anger to deal with and at the end of the day even with good motives and a good heart Rebecca hurt me, and I was afraid I was going to unknowingly punish the pup for her mistake which I didn't want to do. I am not perfect after all. No one is. "What is going on?" He looked at my stomach and I knew what he meant. "Baby, I can explain." I came closer but he took a step back. You could see the sadness written in his face. He felt betrayed, and I knew that. "Where is my son?" This time he looked at the room I just came out of, and I knew I had to stop him. I hoped I could buy the Seer a few minutes be
"Where is Aiden? He is going to kill you two when he finds out what you're doing to me!" Rebecca screamed while I tried hard not to do the same. She was hysterical, but the pain had kept her movement at bay, otherwise she would have been out of the infirmary from the moment she woke up. She was surprised to see that she was no longer at my house, moreover the fact that she was still alive. "Just push, Rebecca. There is no use fighting the inevitable. The pup is going to come out whether you want it or not. Your choice, if you want it the easy or hard way." The Seer threatened. "Which one is the easy one? This damn pain? because as of now, you two kidnapped me, you fucken kidnapped the next Luna of this pack." She whined even after she knew the truth and still insisted she is the rightful ruler. Which planet is this girl coming from?"You tried to kill your pup, and frame me for it. What did you expect me to do? Let you kill an innocent pup?" This time I was moaning in pain while
"You're late!" I sneered but she just rolled her eyes at me. "What if she died, what were we going to do then? I have been lying to my mate for the past three months, and I didn't want to add murder to the list. You're supposed to see the future which includes saving the pup at any cost and you decide to arrive while she is bleeding out?" I carried on even though she was not answering. I knew she was listening to me after all. "I am here now, am I not? Ain't I the one stitching her up again and cleaning this damn blood? You know it's not my job right? I am doing this for the future of the pack. I was sent by my leader to protect. Otherwise I wouldn't be listening to your stupid whining and schemes. Now listen to me, and listen to me, clearly Eva. The future can be predicted but that doesn't mean it can't change. Do you know how many scenarios I saw about today? Seven. Seven and only one came to pass. How on earth would I know this stupid she-wolf would choose the most unlikelies
Three months later…."I am glad that you had kept to your promise, Evelina." A voice said, and I already knew who it was. I should be scared, I should be hiding but I wasn't. Time had passed, and Seer had told me about this day, the thing is I wasn't sure if I was ready for any of this. This wasn't normal, and it didn't help that I felt guilty for betraying my mate. "I don't lie, and don't you think for a second that I did this for you. I did it for Aiden and the child in your womb." I told her. "No matter who you did it for, I am still happy you did because from tomorrow I am going to be the Luna of the pack. My son is going to be the next Alpha from today, and I am going to wear Aiden's mark proudly by the next full moon." She taunted. I should have known she only came here to gloat even though coming here was the biggest mistake she ever made in her life. "What makes you think the pup will be born today?" I tried to make it seem like I didn't know. I had a new friend that coul
"The Seer said what now?" Aiden asked and I looked outside the window into the forest. I knew after talking to Amy I couldn't hide the truth from him anymore, and telling him to just trust me, without a reason, wasn't going to work either. He is not only a man but an alpha. They were possessive, and stubborn. Three months doesn't seem like a lot to me, but I knew it would feel like a decade, especially with Rebecca by his side. Men liked to show off their mates like new toys. They wanted others to know whom we belonged to, hence the mark. It may sound off, but they liked marking their territory not only on the pack borders but their mates too, especially a rare true mate. "I am sorry, I am only telling you now, but I didn't have a choice. You just have to do this, only for three months, and once the pup is born we can be together, and you can mark me as your Luna and mate. Three months that's all I ask for. I know it's going to be hard not telling anyone about us or the pup but i
