Shawn's POV

When she left with Elder Oldega everyone inside the room did not speak up again. Alpha Colby stands there with his eyes close. However, for the rest, their eyes were on me as if they are expecting me to say something or even better to explain myself.

Clearing my throat, I stand up from my seat and face them without fear. I wanted to point something out to them that Jenna was never at fault. I heave a sigh before closing my eyes for a minute and opening them up again to see their attention. They were waiting for my explanation.

"I do believe that this is entirely my fault. I know you are blaming her right now. But, there's one thing I want everyone to be clear of. The reason why you think she doesn't remember us or have chosen the life she lives was entirely my fault," I said while bowing my head in shame.

"You can do this Shawn," I hear Colby through our link.

I look over my shoulder and he gave me a reassuring nod. I turn back to our pack with confidence after encouragement from our Alpha and clear my throat and casually said. "Still, I do not want you all to blame others as you also have to think before pointing your fingers at me or her family. Keep in mind Sr. Claire is not Jenna. She may be in her physical form but in heart and mind she's no longer that person we once knew."

I stop and tried to not break down cause I know my next words hurt but still it needs to be said. "She's not my mate anymore...I don't expect anyone in here to harm her or bully her innocent soul."

Emotions overwhelmed me and I did feel like breaking down right there in front of them but I am a man. A Beta of this pack and I have pride too that I refused to be tarnished. I know it's already tarnished when my mate left me but I keep my head high like nothing ever happened.

So instead of letting it all out I withhold it all and conceal it. It is only now I am starting to wither and the strong Beta they used to know is now constantly back to his darkest days.

Elder Ray stood up from the middle of the crowd which snap me out of my daze thoughts. He look me dead in the eyes and I knew that he was disappointed with me. "You broke the law by neglecting your mate and turning her away. Yet, you have the nerve to tell us what's not to do and what to do," he said to me angrily.

"I am very disappointed Alpha. How can you let your chosen Beta become unstable?" he questions Colby who frowns back at Elder Ray. I fear that by the way, Colby looks at Ray he is not taking the Elder's works well because by the end of this everything will point back to his mate and Luna.

And I hate to hear Ray spatting the words chosen Beta. In some way he is right but I think he is now crossing the line. I may be chosen but I know I earn that privilege. Their former Beta and other warriors couldn't take the responsibilities.

"Elder Ray, my Beta is not unstable and things happened in this life," Colby said.

"Alpha- "

"Not now Ray," Colby raises his voice, warning elder Ray not to cross the line with him. Colby's expression clearly shows his disapproval of how Hobert tries to blame it on him the Alpha for such behavior caused by his Beta.

"We will discuss this when elder Odega comes back tomorrow. I want you and our older members of this pack to discuss this before the council"

Ray heeds Colby's warning and sits down on his chair. He still looks angry and I remember the man never likes me ever since I step foot in this pack.

When I first move with Hailey here, thinking we were going to be forever and she had long forgotten about Colby. Elder Ray was the first one to disagree with reinstating their Luna. He called her names which made Colby go Alpha wolf on him but the Council was there to restrain him. He even spews venoms at me and tries to kick me out. And when I was chosen as a Beta for the pack, he never approves.

The very reason why he is still in this Pack was that he's an elder who was in this pack way before Colby and I were born. So, he cannot be easily removed.

'We should have killed the bastard,' my wolf growls through our link. 'The old fart is sick in the head,' my wolf spat.

Colby pats me on the shoulder, drawing me out of my thoughts and I shut off my link with my wolf. He then dismisses everyone. Everyone left the room leaving only the two of us inside.

"It's not worse than we expected," he said while still patting me on the shoulder. I know he is trying to make me feel better but I do not want to add more pressure on him.

"You think?" I ask and he just replied with a nod.

"So where is she going to stay?" I ask in curiosity and change the topic.

"At Mr. Odega's home, starting tomorrow. I want you to send her stuff there," he said.

"Are you kidding me Alpha?"

"Nope, Shawn. You are going to be a good mate and sent her stuff there. It's not miles away...it's three blocks dude, three" he said showing me his three fingers and almost shoving them in my face.

"So hurry up," he added and I groan at that.

"You can't possibly send me there knowing I have feelings for her," I said. "So, it's not my fault, that you guys are not together," he replies and shrugs his shoulders before moving to the door. He opens it and walks out leaving me there speechless.

"I hope she gives you hell," I shouted after him.

Yeah, I do hope Hailey doesn't give him an easy way out because the jackass is not helping me here. Scratching my head I walk out of the conference room and made my way into the hallways then up the stairs. I hear shouting from Colby and Hailey's room but I ignore it and walk into my room.

"Dad" I hear my seven-year-old son named Hans call me and I turn around to find him came running up to me. I catch his body and lifted him in the air.

"I miss you," he said, burying his head in the nook of my neck. "I miss you too buddy," I answer and kiss him on the forehead. I open up the door and went inside.

"Daddy, why are mommy and daddy Colby fighting?" he asks in a sad voice and I just scratch my head not knowing what to do.

"Damon and Sora are in their rooms not talking to each other," he added.

I let out a sigh and put him down. I know this is fucking messed up because I fell for Hailey and look at where it got us. Our kids are confused here with our relationship.

Damon who's fourteen is well versed in our situation but he's not taking Hailey's side and is only closer to his father Colby. While Sora on the other hand is confused just like my son about the fact that Hans has two daddies and she doesn't.

She only has Colby and the girl loves her daddy dearly. I don't want to talk about it with my son. I want to explain what was going on but I have a good idea now and I hope he would like it and forget about the fight.

"Okay, why don't you go and ask Sora and Damon if they wanted to take a ride? But after we drop off a friend of mine's bag. What do you say?"

Hans nodded his head happily and went to get his brother and sister. I lay back on my bed to take a rest, thinking that this is all my fault. If my son asks me in the future who was at fault. I with no doubt will tell that it was me.

It’s a good read but it’s a little all over the place. I’m often confused on what is going on in the book. It jumps around to much and makes it really confusing.

    Sr. Claire/ Jenna’s PovThe sound of waves crashing to the shore made me close my eyes and enjoy the breeze. I love this and I wish to enjoy this beautiful scene and moments forever. “Aunty” I smile upon hearing that sweet voice and turn back to see my nephew namely Wes waving at me. That kid has grown up so quick and I love to spoil him as he is my only nephew. He took both of his parents looks which is an excellent combination. "Aunty" he calls again and I wave at him, shaking my head casually. Today’s my vacation day and I decided to spend it with my family at the beach house like I did every year. We have been doing this practice every year during the warm summer season. I do not own the beach house as I don’t have money and yes, I finally have a family now apart from the nuns, my mother superior and the children at the orphanage.“Jenna” my mom hugs me to her side when she reaches me.

It is nice to have another child on the way especially its the one I created with my loving mate. Colby looks up at me through his reading glasses. A smile broke on his face and he took them off, rubbing his eyes. He placed the reading glasses on the ledger in front of him and let out a long exhausting sigh.“I can’t do that,” he simply replies and slumps back to rest his head on the leather chair.Seeing him work so hard makes me worried all time. I always worried about his health. I slowly walk toward him and move to the back of his chair.I place my hands on his head. . “I know you have a lot on your plate and it’s your responsibility to do this but sometimes we all need to rest.

  • Mate or God?   Epilogue

    Our Theme song for the epilogue is "Always" by Yoon Mi Rae. Your author will always love you, my readers. So please 'unfollow my heart.'~~~Shawn's POVWe sat there silently waiting for her. It has been an hour since we'd waited outside of Lucia's Cabin. She linked us earlier today to come to her place as Jenna wanted to talk to us. Nervously my right leg bounces up and down with my sweaty hands rubbing against my jean. Mrs. Harrison reached out and takes my hand into hers. "It's going to be alright," she whispers to me in a very comforting tone. I am thankful to have her here with me. When the door opened I saw Jenna laughing at something Lucia is saying before she turns around and settling her eyes on me. Lucia smiled and mouth to me you'll be okay."Hey," I stood up abruptly and walk over to where she stood. "Can I have a moment with you?" I ask and look back and Mrs. Harrison gave me a reassuring smile. Taking a deep breath, I look back to face Jenna and nod my head yes to he

  • Mate or God?   Chapter 32: Mate or God?

    Jenna/Sr. ClaireThoughts flow in my head. I don't know what to do anymore. There is still a part of me who longs to stay here with my mate but then, there's another life I have as a human. Sometimes I feel like I am going crazy.After my Mother's Superior left, I stay inside my room and skipped dinner. Her words today made open my eyes and brought me back to Colby's question and now I didn't even get a good sleep as I am indecisive about what to do and who to choose. My thoughts keep going back and forth. I am conflicted as I look at the promising glover Shawn gave me over and over again before I pray again to God to show me the way by giving me a sign.After hours of wondering in the darkness of my world. Finally as if something dawned on me, I thought of a perfect way to solve all these doubts and unanswered questions I have. I get up right away on my feet. I know where to go to find my answers.

  • Mate or God?   Chapter 31: Mother Superior

    Jenna/Sr. ClaireOn the next day, I was sitting in my room meditating when my mother came inside unannounced. "I am sorry to interrupt you," she said. "Anything I can help you with?" She shook her head no and came to sit beside me. "I don't know if you still remember or even want to know it. Your sister has a pup. Ken, her mate took him away when Sophie died." I raise my brow. "Nephew?" I question and she nods her head yes. "I do visit them sometimes but ever since you came I haven't. Today I am going to see him at the Nightfall Pack and I just wanted to know if you want to come with me" I try to blink my eyes. This is another shocking news that I did not remember. Taking deep breaths I stood up and try to calm myself. When I am calm I said, "I want to see him if that's okay with you?" "Thank you Jenna" she raised her hand to touch me but I step back. I may have forgiven her but there is a boundary between us. She looked taken a back for a moment she look sad before she cover it

  • Mate or God?   Chapter 30: Forgiven

    Jenna/ Sr. ClaireTo forget is the hardest thing to do and that is why I don't forgive anyone easily. However, to see people that I used to despise work their way for forgiveness, my heart wavers. Shawn did live up to his promise and so did everyone else. After another month Shawn did earn my trust but not my heart. However, recently I am starting to feel it wavers for him. I have to be honest that every time I am with him I am smiling and happy. He didn't do anything to relive the unforgiveable past we had, rather he filled it with lights. Now I am conflicted between my feelings for him and my responsibilities as a nun. A woman who is already anointed to serve God. "Do you want more" Shawn said, pulling me out of my train of thoughts. I look up and see him wiggles his brow at the waffle on the spatula in his hand? I groan and rub my stomach. "No thanks, I am full," I said. He shook his head and place the waffle on an empty plate. "Morning uncle and aunty" I hear a cheerful voice
