Chapter 1

1. Sophia

              He was everything I'd ever dreamed he would be. Blonde, blue eyes, high cheekbones, straight nose, plump lips and already mated. With two kids on top. Talk about karma. As I'm handing him his phone back, our fingers brush. The little contact sending shocks of electricity up my hand and straight to my heart. My wolf whines halfheartedly, knowing what is coming next but surprisingly, not scared. Maybe because we expected this. The moon goddess is punishing me for that one mistake, although I refuse to see it as a mistake. It was a decision made by two people who... I shake my head to clear those thoughts. What good would it do to live in the past? He probably has two kids, too, or more.

"Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be" I reply nervously. This isn't something people do every day "You go first"

"Before that, I want to tell you how sorry I am"

"You've already apologized. Please just say the words and get it over with" so that I can find a hole to crawl in and cry my eyes out for the next fifty years. I am going to be alone. The only chance I had to forget him just went out the window when I found out my mate isn't mine. I'd hoped he would save me from this madness. Erase his touch and kisses from my body and replace them with his. But what do you know? Even he is taken. The one person who was meant to be mine isn't mine. What am I going to do?

"I, Fred Upton, reject you, Sophia Rush"

"I, Sophia Rush, accept your rejection, Fred Upton"

I see the tears shining in his eyes, feel his regret at letting me go, and feel even worse. He truly is sorry for not waiting for me but what can we do? I can't ask him to leave his family. Maybe I would have fought for him if the children weren't in the picture but I can't bring myself to tear apart a family. I know first-hand how painful it is to be left behind. Because I've gone through that twice already. But damnit! How can fate be so cruel?

He was supposed to be mine.

"I hope you have a happy life. Don't worry about me. In a way, I think I was ready for this. Somehow I knew it wouldn't work out between us"

"How would you know if you never even tried?" He snaps at me and I twist my head back in shock.

"Don't use that tone with me when you are the one who has a family" I throw back. I only gave my heart to someone else. I didn't start a family with him. But I would have done it if he'd asked. Goddess knows I would have mated with him right there and then. If only... Too many ifs.

He bows his head in shame "I'm sorry. I just..." He pauses and takes a deep breath then looks up at me "Can I have one kiss?"

"Wouldn't that be cheating?"

"No. Anais would understand. She told me it was okay to uh... Um be with you for one night" he says rubbing his neck. The tips of his ears red. I'm offended that she thinks she can rent me, my own mate, for one night. If I was a bitch, I'd take that offer and while we're in the middle of sex, mark him. He'd mark me back because the mate pull wouldn't allow him to walk away. Even now, we're both finding it hard to walk away. But I'm not a bitch. That's my mother's expertise.

"In plain terms, she's okay with you having sex with me as long as you go back to her. Is that right?"

"Don't misunderstand her. She just wanted to give me a chance to know what it's like to be with your real mate because she'll never know. Hers died shortly after they met"

"Well, either way, I don't think it's right for us to kiss. Since you chose her, just stick with her to the very end"

His face falls making me wonder if he really thought I would jump into bed with him "You're right. I hope you won't hate me. It's too much to ask but I hope you won't hate me for not waiting and I wish you would find someone who would love you because you deserve it. Because you're beautiful and kind and..."

"You don't need to say that. Like I said, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me" the fucking compliment sandwich. Never thought I'd live to hear it but here we are.

"Okay"

Before things get awkward, I point at the door "You can leave. I'm just going to sit here for a while" he gets up, takes a few steps, stops, turns around, and comes back to where I am. Before I can ask if he has forgotten something, he bends down and takes my face in his hands. Kissing my forehead.

"You will find the right man for you" he murmurs before leaving. Fucking hell. That stupid sentence is my undoing.

Tears burn at the back of my eyes and I struggle to keep them at bay. I already found that man, but he'd forgotten about me the second he met his mate. After everything that happened between us, he hadn't even bothered to say goodbye when I left. All these years I'd hoped my mate would help me forget him. I'd held on to the fact that our connection would tramp every other feeling. Just as how it was supposed to be. How could I have known that he too had already chosen someone else? If I'd found out earlier, would it have made any difference?

Deep down I know my tears aren't for Fred. Yes, I'm heartbroken that he has a wife and kids but that isn't the reason I feel like bawling my eyes out. It's the idea of being stuck with his memory forever. Of remembering every single touch and kiss but knowing those touches and kisses now belong to another. Of being stuck pining after a man who was never meant to be mine. Of the fact that I already knew Fred couldn't erase those memories even if he'd waited for me. What had I been thinking back then? Falling stupidly in love with someone who wasn't my mate?

My wolf whines, retreating, further in my mind, silently blaming me for our predicament. I angrily swipe at the tears, get up and go home. If I'm going to cry, it would be better to do it in the privacy of my bedroom. Where no one can witness my shame and embarrassment.

"Sophia, you're back. Sit, we have to talk"

"Not now mom" I reply breezing past her and straight to my room. Locking it just in case my mother comes barging in. Whenever she wants to talk, it is either about a new boyfriend or moving. As a kid, I can't remember how many packs we've been to. Mainly because we didn't stay long for me to remember anything. I understood my mother was mourning the death of my father but did we have to jump from one pack to the other? It was her fault I met him. If anyone is to blame for my heartbreak... Fuck. I have no one but myself to blame. I'd known he wasn't my mate. Had known we were only seeking comfort in each other's arms. He'd even told me it was a one-time thing. He would make me forget everything for a while. In the process, he'd do the same. We only wanted to shut out the world for a while. How could I have known I would never be able to forget him?

The next few days, getting out of bed becomes a chore. I have to force myself to leave my room so my mother wouldn't suspect anything. Leigh Cassandra Rush famously known as LC can be a nightmare when she wants to be. I don't even want to think what she would do if she caught wind of my situation. She'd probably find someone else and have me mated to them in a matter of days. The more powerful they are, the better. A week goes by with me feeling like a zombie then I force myself to snap out of it. The world hasn't come to an end. Those two men are living happily with their mates. Why am I the one wasting my time wallowing in misery? I will live. No one has ever died from heartbreak.  

Constant moving made it impossible for me to make friends but since we've stayed in Bittercrest for a while, I managed to make one. Reagan. We are around the same age. She was born and raised in Bittercrest and when we first arrived, it was Reagan who had helped me settle down. I can't believe we've managed to stay here for five years now. Although, it's solely because my mother is banging one of the members. I'm yet to figure out who it is. So unlike LC since she's the type to brag to the world about her new boyfriend. Reagan went to visit her mother's relatives in another pack and the moment she arrives, she can't wait to gush about all the hot guys in Silvercrown pack. It's the perfect distraction from my predicament.

"I should have dragged you by your hair, Soph. I swear you would have drooled" she says fanning herself

"That hot. Huh?"

"Don't even get me started" she goes on and on about them and how she almost embarrassed herself. I zone her out, my mind on what to do next. Now that there is no mate to rely on, I have to plan my future. Figure out what to do and where to go. Should I find another pack and start over? It would be best if I did that. Far away from my mother and her complicated relationships. Reagan grabs my hair and gently jerks my head back "Are you even listening?"

"Yes. Let go"

"Nuh-uh. Now that I think about it, you look weird. Did something happen while I was gone?" She brings our faces closer and narrows her eyes "Were you crying?"

"No-"

"You were. I know you, Soph. If you hadn't cried, you would have gone 'Who? Me? Why would I do that?' but you replied with just a no. That means you were crying. What happened? Is it your mother? Or one of the members? Don't tell me Nova and his crew are still bothering you. I will fry their asses and feed it to them"

"It's not that" I know Reagan will follow through with that threat. Not fry their asses per se. But she could report them to the Alpha who would punish them or create a scene so the whole pack would find out and criticize them. They'd never hear the end of it. Having grown up with her, Nova and his crew know not to mess with Reagan. So they'd stopped bothering me after she warned them. I can't have my friend accuse them wrongly. Besides, I need someone to unload my shit to. Who better than Reagan?

"Then what?"

"I met him. My mate but he's already mated and has two kids" there are a few seconds of silence before she shrieks,

"What?"

"We rejected each other"

"No way. At least tell me you rejected him after knocking off his front teeth" I shake my head no "How could you let him get away with it? That fucker. Tell me his name. I'll kick his ass for you"

"It's over. We are not connected anymore"

"Still, he knew better than to mate with someone else and have kids with her. How can you forgive him, Soph?"

"What was I supposed to do?"

"I don't know, kick his balls. Scratch his face out. Light a fire under his ass. Anything" 

"It's over. We were not meant to be" I stop and take a deep breath "I wasn't meant to be with anyone Reags"

"Bullshit! You are beautiful, smart, intelligent, and hot as fuck. It's his fucking loss. Don't you dare shed another tear for him"

But I end up doing exactly that because I'm so miserable. I don't know how I can move forward. What's there to live for?

"I don't think I can do this"

"No Soph, don't say that" her arms come around me "If it comes to it, I will give up my mate for you. I promise I'll help you find your happy ending"

"How? Fate screwed me over. I fucking hate my life"

"Give it time hun. So what if your mate rejected you? We can easily find-"

"Who rejected who?" An eerily familiar voice asks. We jump apart to find LC staring down at us "Sophia, did your mate reject you?"

Fuck my life.

"What did you do? Why did he reject you?" "Why are you assuming that it's something I did?" "LC, Soph's an angel. That moron didn't even wait for her. He mated with someone else and already has kids" Reagan defends me. But when it comes to LC, words go in one ear and exit the other. It's like her brain has a filter. She only accepts the things she wants. The rest vanish into thin air. "He's your mate. It doesn't matter who the other woman is. She should step aside now that you found each other" "Didn't you hear the part where he has two kids?" "It's the twenty-first century, Sophia. Ever heard of co-parenting?" She'd do that. It wouldn't matter if she's breaking up a family or not. LC would demand he leaves them for her. Funny thing is, she didn't use to be like this. Once upon a time, she was the most loving and caring mother and mate. I remember a time when she wasn't such a bitch. When she had feelings and cared about other people. I guess my fathe

"Soph, what's wrong?" I blink, looking at Reagan then back at the entrance of Cipher where I saw Kaden. But there's no one there. Was I hallucinating? Am I pining after a man so much that I've started conjuring him up? He looked so real. Older, different, and... Yeah, that was so not him. The guy I thought I saw looked at the car. At me. But Kaden couldn't have looked at me because he was born blind. This only goes to show how much I need to get over him. "Let's go," I say getting out of the car. This obsession I have with that man ends today. I refuse to be a slave to these feelings. Before I left, Kaden had found his mate. The Alpha was over the moon because his son had finally found his other half. I remember wanting the earth to open up and swallow me. There I was, building a future in my head with a man that wasn't meant to be mine. I felt so stupid and heartbroken that I didn't say goodbye to him before I left. After spending hours crying and begging

I pop my eyes open and stare at the ceiling. Focusing on the light bulb because my mind is blank. There's nothing. No thoughts of anything or anyone. Even my wolf is almost non-existent. A fly buzzes above my face and I settle for watching it. What does it feel like to float around in the air? Do flies have thoughts? Like do they understand each other the way humans do? How did it get in here anyway? I'm sure the window is closed and I used a net to cover the vents so I could keep out lizards and spiders and anything that crawls through there. Fucking insects. Tired of the buzzing sound coming from the fly, I time it. My eyes track its movements and when it's close enough, slap it. The action requires me to lift my head from the pillow and just as I go to lie back down, everything comes rushing back. I jerk upright. "What the fuck?" How did I get home? The last thing I remember is Reagan suggesting we go home. There was a voice in my head agreeing with her. I know for a fact it wasn'

"Are you going to hide out here forever?" "I'm not hiding. This is my way of saving LC's life. If I see her in the next forty-eight hours, I swear I'll rip her apart" "She doesn't know who Logan is. You didn't either when you met him. Looks can be deceiving" "Are you defending her?" Reagan sighs "I've been thinking. What if they're just rumors? You saw the guy. He's smitten. The man you're in love with found his mate and Fred couldn't wait for you. What if this is the goddesses' way of making it up to you?" "By sending me a billionaire dickhead? No thanks," it's been two days since Logan showed up at my house. I don't know what he told my mother but she's now obsessed with him. LC has been singing his praises non-stop. Even after I made it clear to both of them that I wasn't looking for a mate, they still wouldn't listen. It doesn't help that he's sent enough gifts to fill my house even after I kicked him out. Now it's not just LC that's pushing me to mate with him. Even Alph

Sweat trickles down my hairline, back, and the valley between my breasts. I spent the last hour running because my wolf is hiding. She's still hurting from Fred's rejection. As much as I hate to admit it, LC was right. Saying the words isn't the end. A week after rejecting each other, my wolf became depressed. Which means I am also depressed. Negative thoughts have been popping out of nowhere. All of a sudden, I'd wonder if I wasn't pretty enough for Fred. Then I'd start thinking about his mate and how she looks. If she's better than me. More than once, I've caught myself on the way out to go looking for him and ask him that. He showed me a picture of his children but not her. Judging by how beautiful they were, I'd say she's pretty. But Nova just told me the other day that he would leave his fated for me. Why couldn't Fred leave his chosen for me? Was LC right? Should I hunt them down and break them up so we can all be miserable? Will that make me happy? It's thoughts like these tha

"I'm going for a run" I call out pulling the front door open and slipping outside. LC is still busy calculating what she'll do with the money to pay me any attention. If she looked up, she'd see that I'm not dressed for running or doing any exercise. Granted I'm not taking any luggage in case I bump into someone and they go talking but she could at least look up. I don't know when I'll see her again. I'm not even sure where I'll end up. But I have to go. Glancing one last time at her, I step out and close the door behind me. Aside from my phone, I have a purse with my savings and ID card. In case things don't work out where I'm going, I can have some money to relocate. As I walk towards the east, I take in Bittercrest for possibly the last time. There's no guarantee I'll be coming back. We've moved to so many packs that a part of me resented LC for uprooting us. I wished we would stay in one place and never move again. I wanted to plant roots so my kids could have a place they called

8. Kaden
Past I'm an almost eighteen-year-old virgin and Walter thinks it's time I get some experience under my belt since I'm about to shift. His argument was that it would be embarrassing if I met my mate and didn't know what to do with her. Being blind doesn't mean I'm inexperienced in other areas. But he's my older brother and I know he only wants to help. Out of everyone, only Walter and Dad don't treat me like a disabled person. They don't feel sorry for me or whisper behind my back the way others do. I think the rest of the pack doesn't understand that my other senses work just fine. Maybe a bit too fine if you asked me. Especially my hearing. I could be sitting in the pack house but hear a conversation that's going on at the other end of the territory. Compared to humans, wolves have advanced abilities but our sense of smell is the sharpest. In my case, I've come to realize that every other sense is better than even my father's. Walter once told me that maybe i

Past I almost crumbled right there. I've never had anyone speak to me like that. He's the cutest boy I've ever met but he has the filthiest mouth. Not five minutes after we met and he was offering to pay me double to sleep with him. At first, I thought he was pretending to be blind. These disabilities are rarely found in werewolves. They're not unheard of. Just happens like once in a decade or a millennium. So my first thought was that he was pretending to be blind so he could sleep with me. But it's real. Not that it bothers me in any way. I could spend all day staring at his handsome face. It's even better since he can't see me doing it. I wonder why he needed to pay someone to sleep with him. I wouldn't need money to do it. His hand lands on top of mine then slide up my arm and to my neck to hold my face."You have the smoothest skin," he says rubbing his nose along my cheek. Should I stop him? There's no way he'd want to have sex here. Right? Do I want to

"Why? What's wrong?" "I just... I can't be here, Hector. Please turn..." Someone knocks on his window, cutting me off. Hector rolls it down. I half expect to find Kaden standing there but I remind myself that he's blind. He won't receive visitors. Besides, the pack members won't let him do anything. He's probably screwing his mate in that cabin or in their house. Or maybe he's trying to put their pups to sleep. Bile rises up my throat, and I struggle to swallow it down, blinking against the tears that are threatening to spill out. This is so much worse than mating with Logan. I'd rather go back and do it than hide out here. "I'll have some guys unload the cargo. Come with me. We prepared a room for you. I bet you'd both kill to lie on a bed" "You have no idea" Hector pushes his door open and gets out while I continue to sit there, frozen, my insides twisted into knots. Images of Kaden kissing his mate pass through my mind. The both of them walking hand in hand with a little girl
