Ellie and Jengo were both shocked with what they discovered. How could they not? Not only did Jengo meet a mate- the mate- he was fated to be with… Ellie found herself with another mate?! No… Not really ‘another’; since her wolf got swapped, it was more accurate to say that she met Maddie’s real fated mate. And she knew for sure that it was going to cause some complications in explaining to Jengo the truth.“J-Jengo… I-”“IT’S A LIE!” the Beta shouted, much to the female werewolf’s surprise. “You?! You’re my mate?! That is not possible!”“I-I understand if you’re having a hard time believing this, but if you can give me the chance to explain…”“No need to. It’s as William said, isn’t it?”Ellie was confused when he said that part. What William said? What did he say to his Beta?“The night you came to our pack? He told me that you must have used something strange to trick his wolf into thinking you two are mates. Neither of us could figure out what that was, but after experiencing it f
William lied in bed in relief, having just finished the last of the paperwork he had to do. A few minutes passed since Jen left to see their prisoner, and the Alpha could not help feeling a little restless for some reason. It couldn’t be that he missed Jen; there were times when he and his Beta had to do their own work, especially in William’s case, and thus could not be with one another. This? This restless feeling was not that…‘Liam… Are you the one feeling restless?’ he mentally asked his wolf.‘How did you figure?’ Liam indirectly confirmed.‘So it was you… Don’t tell me you’re feeling restless because of what happened to that girl. Even though you know she is not our mate?’Liam gave no immediate answer at the question, causing the werewolf to raise a confused brow. ‘… I know she may not be our real mate, but that does not mean I cannot worry about her. Rather… I can’t help but worry about her regardless,’ the wolf said at last.‘Seriously? You would worry this much for a strang
It hurts… Everywhere Ellie feels, it was just nothing but excruciating pain… From her chest, to her torso, her legs and arms, even to the tips of her fingers and toes. Heck, it even hurts to just breath, whether it was through her nose or mouth.‘I didn’t feel this much pain… back when Steve rejected me…’ she thought. ‘My wolf is not in me… Maddie’s wolf is… So why… does it hurt so much…?!’ Amidst the agony she was going through, Ellie could’ve sworn she was hearing a voice call out to her.“…-ey… -re you o-… Hey!”‘A voice…? Who’s… calling for me…?’ she wondered then, catching whiff of a familiar scent. The moment she caught the smell, to her surprise, the pain was starting to subside. It was not as though the pain was fading away, as it was more that another feeling was starting to well up in her once more. One that was making her head feel fuzzy, and her vision blur. ‘A-… Again…? What the hell is wrong with me…? What did that stupid rite do to me…?! Someone… help…’******“Hey! Are
As Jengo exited out the dungeon, William did not pay his boyfriend any mind at all, as he only kept his attention on Ellie, who seemed to be doing somewhat better than before. Well… Rather than say that he did not pay Jen any mind, it was more that he couldn’t focus on anything other than the female werewolf in the room with him. Not only did his senses feel dulled with every passing second, but his mind… All he could think about was Ellie. Particularly… About taking her.The pain Ellie had been experiencing got completely suppressed by the other feeling that sprouted by Jen’s presence. Why that feeling returned when the Beta had completely rejected her, she did not know why, but she could not find herself hating nor rejecting the feeling. No… It would be more accurate to say that she was not able to do either. Not with how close William was to her.For some reason, just his presence alone was helping her recover from the pain. That is, if she could call it a ‘recovery’, when really i
Jen could not sleep at all last night. How could he after everything that happened? What happened with Ellie was one thing, but right after that? With William? … He tried to sleep it off at first, hoping that it was nothing more than a bad dream, only to end up with an even worse dream. One that had William leave Jen for that female. And the horrible part of it? William reciting the words of rejection to Jen… with the Beta experiencing the mate rejection…After having a nightmare like that, Jen did not dare return to slumber. He much rather not has any more negative thoughts about the circumstance. Just the possibility of his boyfriend succumbing to the mate bond was worrying enough; he did not want the thought to become a reality, much less see it in a dream. And so, instead of returning to slumber, Jen spent the night training. He had to keep his mind occupied so he wouldn’t at least remember how William pushed him away. Despite his best effort, though, the training only did so much
William was puzzled by what Jen just revealed to him. Did he hear his boyfriend right? He and that stray… They’re mates?!“Well, ‘was’ is more appropriate, since I rejected her,” Jen corrected. “But, regardless of that, just the fact that my wolf got attracted to her’s, when she already has you- her mate… Not only that, but when I used the words of rejection, she seemed to be in real pain from that. For her to react that way… Something is definitely suspicious about her.”“Is that so…” William could only say, unsure how he should feel about the news.On one hand, he was glad to hear this, for it meant that his suspicions about Ellie were true. That the girl could not possibly be his true mate, if she was able to attract another werewolf, and be attracted to him. He did not know what pack she came from, but if they were planning on what Jen assumed they would, those people must be quite desperate to get rid of competition. Either that or they may want to simply rule over these woods. R
It was the middle of the afternoon when Ellie woke, feeling quite sore all over. Her mind was hazy for a moment, but then she recalled it… Everything that happened last night. Her attempted escape from the Devorare Pack, the discovery that Jengo was her- well, Maddie’s- fated mate, her second experience of the mate rejection, and… what she did with William…Her face heat up at the memory, her eyes and mind now wide awake. What the hell did she do?! Did she… actually spend the night with William… in that sense?! Moreover, it was her first time! Her first time! Even back with Steve, not once did she ever get in heat! And yet… And yet she did it so passionately with him…Was she out of her mind or something?! Even if she was in heat, for her to do it with William- he who not only was not her mate, but also did not think of anything good or decent about her!- right after getting that second helping of the mate rejection?! … Even if she knew that rejection may not be directed to her, but M
When Ellie was told that the two patrolling werewolves- whom she learned were called Morgan and Ashina- were ‘assigned’ to her, she was more than convinced that they were tasked to either torture or kill her. Given their first impression to one another, she could’ve sworn William allowed them to deliver some additional pain to her, especially after she somehow got the guy to have sex with her last night. Forced him to be with her instead of his boyfriend, whom he truly loved more. “Hmm… Looks like the injuries you came in with are all healed up,” Samantha said, looking over Ellie’s bare body in her office. She did not think the pair of patrols- now her wardens- meant it in a harmless way, as they brought her to the healer’s place. All so she could get proper recovery from the beating they gave her from her escape attempt. At first, she didn’t even know where they were going to take her, as they led her out the dungeon- without even bothering to bind her like they did to their traito
