Fated Disaster

Astra’s pov: “Ugh…this pain. It just won’t leave me alone!” I pounded my palm on my head and closed my eyes. A thought had been gnawing on my mind for the last couple of weeks. I reached out for the glass of water on the table beside me. My hands shook and the glass dropped with a huge crash. Pieces of sharp glass remained shattered on the wet floor. I stepped into the pool of water. An especially large piece of glass was right in front of me, its sharp edge pointing right at my toe. I continued to stare at it as if I expected it to move away from me on its own. “Astra! What was that sound? I heard something really loud,” my mom came in running as soon as she heard the sound of the glass breaking. I looked at her. “I was trying to get some water but the glass fell from my hand and it broke,” I said, coolly. Mom rushed towards me and held my hand, checking it. “Are you alright? Did you get hurt? You should be careful. What if you had been cut?” she ask

Jay's pov"What is it that you want to talk about?" I gritted my teeth. As much as I tried to hide the fact that I did not want him anywhere near my pack, it showed clearly in my face and tone. "Do not lower your guard," my wolf kept reminding me time and again. I did not have the intention to let my guard down for a single second anyways."Now, now. Cut me some slack and don't make it so obvious that you do not want me around here. Yeah, we are enemy packs now but we lived together for more than 4 years. Think about that time and spare me the hatred. Or maybe it is not hatred but fear. Maybe even...guilt." With that, he stood up closed in the distance between us, sending a chill down my spine. "By the way, is this the place you mentioned? The one that your dad built as a gift to your mom? Or is it the one behind? Since I don't see them here, it must be that one. Do you live here alone?" He kept talking."Lucas, I...apologized for that already." As soon as those

Astra's pov "Astra, are you asleep?" I heard a soft knock on my door.  "No, mom. I was just about to go to bed." I stood up and slowly walked to the door. "I wanted to talk to you about something." She said as I opened the door. "About Jay?" I asked. She nodded. We went in and sat on my bed. She gently took my hand in hers.  "Astra, dear, I know you don't feel good about this Jay being your mate thing but Astra, we've known that guy for more than 6 years now. He even lived with us for around 4 years. I know that kid. And I know he loves you. Remember how he saved you back then? So..." "You're just being optimistic, mom. Yeah, I know we've known him for more than 6 years, he lived with us for 4 years. Why don't you mention that it has been 2 years since he betrayed us? He saved me because he loves me? If anything, he must have saved me because he was guilty. Nothing...more..." I stopped as tears rolled down my cheeks. She hugg

Lucas's pov I heard a knock on the door.  "Lucas? You in there?" Astra's soft voice followed afterward. "Yeah. What is it?" I asked. She peeked in. "I want to talk to you about something. Are you busy?" she asked.  "Not at all. Come in." She shut the door behind her. "I am not supposed to say this to you. I went to meet Jay today," she said, fidgeting.  "WHAT?" I stood up. "Calm down and listen to me. Mom wanted me to meet him. I hate to admit it but staying away from him for too long was really hard for me too. So I went. But I hate him. You know that. I do not want to be with him and I made it clear to him. I told him that every time it starts to get painful again, I would go and look for him. The same for him too..." "Astra...but..." "He's the worst. He...he betrayed us, all of us, right after dad died...on top of that...and...and we all had to fight in our worst moments because of that

Astra's pov "Astra, sweetheart, hide here, alright? Don't make a single noise. AND DO NOT COME OUT NO MATTER WHAT!"  "B...but mom...you...and Lucas...you guys..." I remember hardly being able to speak as I was trembling all over, tears streaming all over my cheeks. I couldn't even stand up properly. I was clinging to mom's arm, refusing to let go and be parted from her for even a second. I had a huge cut under my elbow and blood gushed down from behind mom's left ear. Lucas was outside, fighting.  "I can fight! I can still go on, mom! Just let me!" She wrapped her arms around me. "Astra, the wolf that injured you had poison in his nails. It has entered your cells already. We have to delay the spreading of the poison throughout your body. If you move, it will just spread faster. I will be back soon, I promise." As much as she tried to make it sound convincing, I could still hear her voice shaking slightly. I nodded. As mom left, she s
