"I can't" I say breathlessly as Tristan's hand holds my cheek, his lips moving dangerously close to mine. "You're mine" he growls, his hands reaching around me crushing me against his body. I feel his manhood growing and pushing against me as I try to form coherent thoughts. The sparks light up my body as I feel my undies soak. Every part of me wants him to take me. "No" I yell. Letting my wolf Aurora give me strength. We both want him. We want Tristan & Nate to do all sorts of naughty things to us. "I will never be yours, I Armina Carter of the blood moon pack reje.." his hand covers my mouth. His eyes glowing orange as his wolf growls. "WE WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOUR REJECTION, YOU ARE OURS" Armina is a young wolf never accepted by her pack 'Blood Moon'. Left at an orphanage as a baby, she was taken in by the 'cruel' gamma Aiden. It is believed he only took her as he was told he needed to show the pack he had a compassionate side after the loss of his mate Elena. Losing her to the war with the pack Eclipse. In secret, Aiden trained her and showed her how to use the weaknesses of those around her to win every battle. He showed compassion, love, and support in secret. Around the pack was different. He had his mask on. He taught her that while love gave us strength, showing others who we love gave them a weakness to exploit. Aiden was the best warrior our pack had ever known, with Alpha Ethan knowing he could easily take his title. All of this changes on her 17th birthday when she meets her mates. The feared alpha twins of their rival pack 'Eclipse'.
View More"Freak" a laugh sounds as my shoulder meets my locker. "Poor little orphan Annie" Selena's voice sounds, her pathetic entourage laughing as she keeps walking. "Can't blame her parents for dumping her, who would want to look at that everyday?" her friend adds.
Every day. The same taunts, the same laughs. You'd think they could come up with something more original after all these years. 'Please' Aurora begs in my mind. The same way she has since she appeared when I was 14. 'Not yet Aurora; I'm not even meant to have my wolf yet' I remind her. She scoffs; "You can't do this to me forever Armina" retreating to the back of my mind. I hate letting her down everyday. Aurora came to me early, most wolves get their's at 17. I'm now 16, so I don't need to hide for much longer, but she hates it. As the bell sounds I sigh. English. The class where Serena has full range to torment me. "Last class" I remind myself out loud. Finals are over; the trials are tomorrow. One last class, which unfortunately I am sure Serena realises too. I've been dreading this class all day. I made sure to pick classes her and her friends were too dumb to be in, but English is a core subject and unfortunately I got stuck with her. If I've survived our whole lives pretending to be weak, I'm sure I can survive one more class. That thought quickly diminishes as I enter the classroom. Each one of her friends has a smirk on their faces, their eyes watching me closely meaning only trouble for me. "Hey orphan; come sit here" Serena laughs; patting the desk beside her. Ignoring her, I take my seat near the window, being closer to nature has always soothed me. "Aw, too scared as always loser?" She tries, I ignore her. I am so used to her that nothing she says actually affects me anymore. I can't say the same about when we were kids, she'd had me in tears so many times I was sure the teachers were sick of seeing it. "Maybe I want to make up" she adds, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Serena is the alphas daughter and a notorious bitch. That title has also given her a get out of jail free card from the adults in our lives, something I knew they were all sick of. "I'm sure she's just scared" Serena says loudly to one of her lackies, "After the trial's tomorrow, she's sure to be a breeder" she laughs. I scoff internally. With my grades I'll be cleared to go to university, unlike her I wasn't an empty headed bimbo. I'll be able to be study to be a doctor or whatever else I want to do. 'We're a warrior' Aurora growls, coming out of hiding. 'You promised Aiden we'd stop hiding' she reminds me. Aiden is the pack beta, and also my adopted dad. Although the pack thinks he doesn't give a shit about me. After losing his mate to a war with the Eclipse pack Aiden has been scared to let the world know he cares about me. He thinks I'd be killed. 'We don't need protecting anymore' Aurora growls, hating that the world doesn't know she's here. She is a gifted wolf, a fact I've often felt guilty about as she has been stuck with me. I've always seen her as the best part of me. "Okay class, we all know school is basically over" Mr Hall's voice fills the room as he enters silencing the bitches at back. "This class will be free reading, select any book from the library" his hand pointing in the general direction of the books as he stares at his phone. Oh please no. I can feel it coming. "I'll be back, don't mess around" he announces leaving the room. Selena instantly laughs, "Free class" she beams, throwing a paper ball at my head as I duck, feeling it coming. Why didn't I bring my headphones? I sigh. I can't think of anything worse than another 40 minutes of Serena's crap. "Do you think Aiden will even show at the trials?" Her voice is shrill, making my head hurt. Refusing to give her an acknowledgement I walk towards the books, taking one I've already read to give my throbing head a break. I know Aiden will show. His changed the last few weeks, pushing me to stop hiding how strong I am and promising to stop hiding himself. Aiden has always supported me in secret, he just didn't want any other packs to think I could be used as a weapon against him. To be honest, Aiden should be alpha, his a hell of alot stronger than Ethan, our current alpha. "Freak" Serena calls out, trying to throw another paper ball at my head. "Don't you have anything better to do?" I turn around, snapping at her. Her eyes widen in shock before she sneers, "Going to pretend to have a back bone now?" She spits, "Like we don't all know what a pathetic little burden you are?" Her friends laughing around her. Why react? I scold myself turning back to my book. "Aiden was forced to adopt you leech" she sneers, "We all know my father just wanted him to regain some humanity and look, 16 years later and his still as cold as ever" she laughs. "Although that's probably because he has to deal with you." He isn't cold. Not to me, atleast not in private. Aiden explained this all to me as a child. But it didn't stop the torment at school. I manage to ignore her for the rest of class, grateful when Mr Hall's comes back in and she has to pretend to behave. I can't wait to leave this school behind me. Knowing she's going to follow me I ask for the bathroom pass five minutes before final bell. I've always been a good student so he doesn't hesitate. I leave school grounds immediately, basically running back home as I remind myself, repeating the words 'one more day' in my head like it's a prayer that's going to save me. When I get home I'm grateful Aiden isn't there. I escape into a book before heading to bed. Knowing tomorrow is a fresh hell in itself. 'Surely you're going to stop this tomorrow' Aurora begs in my mind. She's held back from me for years, spending most of her time sleeping in my mind, resentful over my choices. 'I don't know' I admit, unable to lie to her. 'This isn't who we are destined to be' she says, the same words she has said to me every single night. Sadness fills my chest as she pulls away, she's half of who I am and I'm constantly disappointing her. Sleep doesn't come easy, when it finally does it's a relief to disconnect, to not have to deal with my own thoughts or Aurora's. "Armina, time to wake up" Aiden's voice coming from the kitchen as I smell bacon and eggs cooking. I throw my pillow over my head. Refusing to acknowledge what day it is. When I feel him enter my room I sigh heavily. "Aiden, I'm not ready." I shake my head into my pillow. I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Armina, you have been ready for these tests since you were a toddler, none of your classmates stand a chance." I lift my head and look at his face. His bright blue eyes look back at me, his sandy blonde hair framing his face as he stares into my eyes. "Armina, you've hidden long enough," his voice darkening. "You're one to talk," I say without thinking; the moment I see his blue eyes sadden, I regret my words. I'm about to apologise when he shakes his head. "You're right," my eyes widen, it is not something he admits often. "I'll stop if you do," my mind blanks. He can't be serious. "Aiden, we know I'm not going to be an omega or breeder, I don't need to do the tests" I try. Knowing my luck is slim. "You are destined for much more than that" he sighs, "I'm sorry if I made you think less of yourself" "Aiden, don't." I touch his cheek, feeling the wetness of his tears. "I've taught you to hide" I shake my head. "I understand why you did Aiden, if you didn't I would have been attacked by now" I say the words out of habit. Remembering him having me repeat them as a child when I was upset about the way he acted in front of the pack. "No Armina, you've been strong enough to defend yourself for years now" he finally looks into my eyes. "I have always treated you like I'd lose you, like Elena, but Elena wasn't a warrior, you are" his eyes take on a new shade, an eagerness to have me believe him. "Please Armina, don't let my weakness hold you back, it's time to show everyone who you are" as his words sink in Aurora stirs, stopping her sulking. I feel her truly spread through my body, ready to be whole for the first time in years. 'About time he started talking sense' she beams, feeling this fills me with joy, she's been angry for so long. She's had to watch as I threw fights I could easily win, taken crap from Selena & held her back from being herself. A sense of power and confidence flows from her to me. Reminding me we are one, I'll never be alone. Feeling them both pushing me forward I find myself nodding. "Let's go" I nod, relieved as Aiden start to smile. "I can't wait to watch you kick everyone's ass" he grins, "We'll see" I laugh.“Armina, I need you to let me in” a voice that sounds familiar plays through my mind. A voice I once welcomed with open arms, but now find myself pulling away. “My child I want to help” the voice tries again; the sadness heartbreaking as I keep pulling back. “I am not ruled by you anymore” I answer, the darkness in my mind embracing my heart as I find it harder to resist than ever before. “Baby please wake up” another voice whispers in my ear. “You can’t leave me” this voice pulling at the heart strings the other could not. “Baby you promised me forever, this isn’t forever” the break in his voice snapping me out of the daze. “Tristan?” I whisper, pulling myself back from the darkness. I feel the pull on the moon goddess, she’s still trying to get my attention, but the other voice wins as I force my eyes open, seeing a tear-filled Tristan breathe with relief as he sees my eyes reflected back at him. “Oh thank the goddess” he sighs, pulling me against him hard as his hands play with my
Tristan's perspective: It feels like it was days of being completely lost in my mate yet it wasn't nearly long enough. As we finally got dressed and started walking towards Layla's house, I kept my hand firmly in hers, feeling like if I could just hold on tight enough, I wouldn't lose my mate again. She grips my hand too, circling the outside of my hand with her thumb as she takes in the pack grounds, her eyes filled with wonder and amazement as she looks around the Forrest. It was different here than it is at Eclipse; the trees have almost a mystical feel to them, like they're created my magic, which given the population here it is entirely possible. The sky is filled with stars; the lack of pollution from the surrounding areas creating a beautiful star filled sky like those straight out of a movie. As I stare up at the sky with her, my mind more at ease than it has been in a long time I find myself staring at the beauty that is my girl. Her face is framed perfectly by her blonde
Armina's perspective: I'm dreaming. I can tell. The world around me doesn't make sense, random memories and pictures floating around me as a voice tries to break through to my subconscious. Knowing what the voices bring, I try to fight back. But being asleep means I'm not in control, the voice sounds around me. But it's not the one I've learned to fight, it's something else. The tone not evil, but a warning. As the darkness consumes, Will it bring the end of light? With hope being lost, Can he win the final fight? Always the protector, The one to hold the line, Will he be able to hold on, Or will he run out of time? As darkness fills the world, A choice he must make,One that will destroy his soul, He must not hesitate, If the choice is not made, Destiny will choose, It is up to him to decide, Which love he must lose. I'm shaking, trying to wake up. A feeling of dread filling my mind. A voice sounds, something breaking me out of my dream, "Armina, Armina" a voice I lo
Tristan's perspective: Armina is fast asleep, when I hear a faint knock on the door. I can feel who it is; the faint scent, the way he knocks, all of it familiar as I manage to move my arm out from underneath my mate and throw some clothes on. It's only 3pm, still a few hours before we plan to go for dinner with Layla. It feels weird to call her mum in the mind, the word still foreign to me as I try to keep up with the times since the summit changed my life forever. I open the door to a nervous looking Nathanial who looks relieved to see just me answering the door. "Hey" he starts, looking around behind me. "She's asleep" my nature to always reassure him. He tries not to make it obvious and fails epically so I just laugh. "Come on" I smile; gesturing to the chairs not far from the door in the garden, wanting to let Armina rest. "Sorry; I just don't know how to be around her" he laughs, no pain in his voice. "It's okay little brother" I laugh, he scoffs. "We don't even know which
Nathanial's perspective: "Are you okay?" Cassie asks as she holds on tightly to my hand as we make our way back to her house. "I am" kissing her head as we walk. "She's very pretty" Cassie notes, I'm suddenly kicking myself for not thinking of this from her side. 'Reassure her idiot' Croxus notes, "Baby, come on" I stop pulling her to look so me. "You have made me happier than I've ever been in my entire life" Looking into those bright blue eyes I've adore, "Armina was never my true mate, she was always meant for Tristan" knowing my words are true. I honestly believe the moon goddess had no choice but to pair us both, but this place; the woman is where I was meant to find my happiness. I kiss her nose, "I always felt like a third wheel with Tristan and Armina, I know we have so much more to share before we understand each other's past, but you don't feel like a second chance mate to me. You feel like my true destiny" needing her to understand. Cassie feels like home. I never
Armina’s perspective:It feels like years since I have felt this free. The dark hold over my heart has lifted and while I can feel the truth in Greta’s words that this isn’t over, I want to enjoy the feeling I have in my heart right now. “I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself properly earlier” I say to Layla as she explains she will show us where we will be staying. “Oh child please, I can not even begin to understand what you are going through, if you were looking for judgement from me, you will find none” her voice kind as she gestures towards a small house, close by to Greta’s. “I’m sorry it is only small” I can only smile at the simple beauty of it as I follow her, “Greta said you needed to remain close by so I can only think of here, it has always been used for a guest house when Greta has visitors, so it is always stocked. I believe there should be some spare clothes in the second bedroom too, we also keep different sizes on hand” she explains. I can’t help but smile, enjoying wat
