Gone

I wasn't going to let Mason or Luna Samantha see me cry. But, as soon as I saw Alpha Brian, I couldn't help but to let it go. He's always been like a father to me in a sense. And just like my father, I saw him as my comfort. 

He stood there, rubbing my back as I cried. I don't even know how long we stood there. He just kept whispering "It's okay. Everything is going to be okay, Alex. We'll fix this. I promise." He made me feel better, but I knew nothing was going to be okay. My fated mate, the one who was supposed to love ME, had been marked by some low level she-wolf. Breaking a bond through chosen mates is still very painful and dangerous. It could kill not only Jacy, but Mason too. And as much hatered I had running through my veins for the both of them, I still love Mason. I've spent years by his side. 

I finally released my hold on Alpha Brian. "I'm so sorry, Alpha... Please forgive me." I whispered looking down at the floor. Alpha Brian grabbed my face with both of his hands and made me look at him. "Alex, I have always seen you as my daughter. Don't you dare apologize. This is Masons' fault, not yours." He growled. I nodded my head and gave him one last hug. "Thank you, Alpha. And thank you for being so kind to me all these years. I'm forever grateful." I let go of the Alpha, and headed for my parents house.

May was still whimpering in my head, but everytime I tried to talk to her, she'd block me out. I know she was probably hurting just as much as I was. I walked into my parents house, and called out for them. They still weren't home yet, probably still on the training grounds. I walked into my room, and my body felt like it was on auto-pilot. I grabbed my duffel bag out of my closet, and just started throwing my things in there. I didn't know where I was going to go, I just knew I couldn't be here anymore. The thought of seeing Mason walking around with Jacys' mark on him made bile rise in my throat.

I started thinking about my Aunt who stays with the Demoncrest pack not too far from here. It's maybe about a 2 hour walk from here. I thought about shifting, but May is too hurt right now to shift. I can't blame her. 

I hurried up and finished packing my things, as I knew my parents would be done with training and be home any minute. I zipped up my duffel bag, and walked towards my door. I looked around my room, knowing that I would miss it. Miss being home. I sighed, turned off my light and walked out.

I didn't even bother leaving a note. Everyone would know what happened between Mason and I. I knew Jacy would go around bragging to everyone that she marked him, and that I was his fated mate, but he chose her over me. I hated this feeling. The feeling of not being good enough.

I walk out of my parents house, and I darted for the forest. I wanted to make sure no one saw me leaving so no one would follow me. As I got to the end of the pack territory, I stopped and said quiet goodbyes. I walked off the territory, and started heading for my Aunts' pack.

The entire walk there, I kept replaying the day in my head. I started wondering how long he had been cheating on me before I found out. Now that I think about it, she was always sending him seductive smiles and waves ever since we started dating. Maybe Mason really didn't care for me. Sometime during the walk, I got a mind-link from Alpha Brian.

'Alex, Luna Samantha told me you rejected Mason. Is that true?' He questioned with saddness in his voice.

'Yes, Alpha. I did.' I replied. I tried sounding brave, but he held me when I broke down, so there was no need to hide the hurt from him. 

'Are you sure this is what you want, Alex? I can make them both break the chosen bond.' He said.

I started questioning myself. Is this what I wanted? I've loved Mason for a very long time now, and gave all of myself to him. May started getting angry. 'Mate let another mark him! Reject him!' She yelled. Hearing my wolf saying to reject my mate made me realize that this is what I not only wanted, but needed. 

'Yes, Alpha Brian. Mason has been with Jacy for a long time. I'd rather let them be together than risking either of their lives. It seems like this is what both of them wanted, so i'd like to stand by my rejection, Alpha.'

I sighed after I replied to him. My lungs felt like they were on fire after saying that. Alpha Brian mind-linked me one last time.

'You would have made a perfect Luna, my dear. So selfless. Too bad my idiot son couldn't see that. I stand by your desicion.' With that, he cut the link. 

I was already an hour and a half into walking, when I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I dropped to my knees, screaming and hyperventilating. My wolf was howling and whimpering. Did Alpha Brian make Mason accept my rejection? 

The thoughts were wiped out of my mind as another sharp pain ran through me. I felt the snap of the mate bond, breaking and unlinking us from eachother. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt. 

I laid in the grass for what felt like hours, just trying to catch my breath. It was already starting to get dark, and I knew I needed to continue to my Aunts' pack before it got too late. With all my strength, I pulled myself up, grabbed my bag, and continued walking.
