And as soon as I said that Adam’s face rolled on the floor.
“What did you say?” he asked with a perplexed voice, as if he couldn't believe his ear that I just said that.
Suck it sucker!
I didn’t come back, or better said, I was forced to come back to this horrible world just to be killed again. If the goddess forced me to be here, I need to stay alive and to do that I need to keep that bitch as far away from me as possible.
“You can’t be serious, Natalie!” he says trying to refrain himself from showing me how pissed off he is about my reaction.
“But I am, Adam. I am your Luna and here is my statement.” and squinting my eyes at him I point with my index finger in Lexie’s direction.
“If she stays here, I am out and you will need to explain a lot of things to our pack and to your family about that! It’s me or her.” I say as if it is nothing and turn my back to him ignoring Lexie’s presence and making her boil for sure.
“Babe, look” Adam whispers and I feel his arms wrapped around my waist, but it’s like a burning. After everything I remember that he was able to do for Lexie, after he dared to believe her and not me, after he killed me for nothing…I hate him. I just hate him.
Maybe this is why I feel angry for being forced to come back here. In the same position. I would have preferred to be reborn as an omega in a poor pack or as a rogue instead of being dragged in the middle of this marsh.
“You wouldn't” Kelly says. “I know you, girl. You would have long for a revenge. You are here, strong and knowing things that they don’t know about at this moment. You are at an advantage so act according to your purpose.” Kelly almost commands me.
“I have a purpose here?” I asked myself, being a little bit taken aback by Kelly’s words, to the point that I didn’t even realize when Adam kissed my neck, right on his mark. But what to see?
Kissing his mark is not making me fall for him, but annoys me more.
“Leave me alone, Adam!” and I push him away from me.
“You can’t bring this woman here!” I say and Lexie starts to cry as if I just pushed a button and a soap operas or namby-pamby show started instantly.
“And after you come here with ehr to think that I will just smile and say, oh babe, I am so happy, please let her stay! I am to the moon and back with happiness because you found your fated mate!”
“Are you insecure, Natalie?” Adam asks and looks at me with a stupid grin on his face but he makes me turn around completely and pointing to my face I ask damned seriously.
“Do I look insecure, dear husband?”
“Look, I just want to know that she is safe. If this is about your Luna position I promise you”
And here he starts.
“I promise you that nothing will change. You are my Luna, Natalie. The woman I love and that will never change” and he looks at me with a complex gaze, I already saw this in the past, and I am so angry that out of love for him I believed his shit.
He comes close to me and I look at him as he is taking my hands between his palms and kissing the tip of my fingers as he watches me.
“Please babe,” he whispers, “I promise that nothing will change. I love you and only you. It doesn't matter that she is my fated mate. I chose you . I will always do it again and again.” and he gives me a smile, but that smile only makes me want to punch him.
“Do you really love me?” I ask him, and I can see with the corner of my eyes how Lexie’s face becomes happy thinking that in the end I will allow her to stay in the Red Blood Pack.
“With everything I have” he tells me and leans in my direction to kiss me , but before he could do it I push him and say.
“Then reject her and terminate the fated mate bond. I want her OUT now. I command you to reject her!”
And I am so furious that he becomes pale.
You don’t like what you see, Adam? Well this is your fucking work. You killed my spirit , now enjoy it! I know that he is shocked that he is not used to me resisting him. Every time I was submitting to him but that is over now.
“Babe, don’t be like that!” he whispers.
“Unbelievable!” I say and in the next second I command him using all my Luna force.
“Reject her now!” and he is pale. If he is refusing me he knows what that means. That no one will ever believe him that he doesn’t have anything with his mate.
I know how this shit works. I’ve heard about this. He must feel the attraction for Lexie even if he marked me. The bond mate is there. But also he knows that this omega is not a Luna material. I am more than he could have dreamed to receive in this life. I am strong, smart and from a good family. And his fated mate is an omega? He will be in deep shit if I make a scandal about this.
He watches me with sad eyes and he knows that there is no way back.
We’ve been together for twenty two years. Since I was two I have my first memory with him. Best friend and then best lovers, loving each other to the point he promised he will never care about his fated mate.
Just as I said. He knows my value in front of the eyes of all werewolves, so even if he is not easy about this he turns around and looks at Lexie he says.
“I am sorry. I didn’t want to be like this, but my mate is right. I need to reject you.” and Lexis’s face just fell on the floor.
“PLease, don’t do it!” she says, looking at him in horror. Well this will be interesting to watch. Is he really going to do it?
“I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!” and giving her a serious look he commands her “Accept my rejection!”
And when he said that a lot of faces turned in our direction, we were already in the middle of the packhouse’s living room, where a lot of werewolves are talking and watching something on TV.
They couldn’t hear what we were talking about for sure, but when Adam commanded Lexie to accept the rejection she collapsed to the ground with a loud noise.
As soon she collapsed Adam flinched but he didn’t dare to help her in my presence.
“PLease!” she begged Adam, crying her heart out. “PLease don’t force me to accept the rejection. I am already weak and I can barely survive in this world. If you would have not found me I would have been dead until now, this is how weak I am. PLease, don’t force me. I will die!” and she looked in Adam’s eyes and pleaded for mercy.
“Don’t you dare!” I commanded using our mindlink and I wrapped my arms under my chest.
Now I am damned curious how this show will end.
But what to see? The bitch has a lot of guts and before I could react she grabbed my leg and knowing way too well that people were watching she started to cry even harder.
“Please Luna! Please, don’t ban me! If you will force me to leave I will die as soon as I step outside of the borders of this pack! PLease Luna Hawkins!”
And now I am outraged.
“Take your fucking hands off me!” I said and pushed her with disgust and took a step back.
“Don't you ever touch me again!” and she started to cry so hard , that now everyone in this pack must know that their Luna is a heartless woman.
“What had this poor Omega done wrong? “ someone asked.
“I didn’t know that Luna is so cruel!” another one whispered .
Well, I didn’t know either that my own pack would judge me and kill me, and seeing their biased gazes I remember one more time why I am here.
If they only knew Lexie’s real plan!
They wouldn’t judge so hard right now. But you know what? I don’t give a shit. This time is only about me and about surviving, so fuck you Lexie Banks, Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you!
“Natalie!” Adam calls me, but I just walk away and push everyone in my way.
I didn’t even have time to adapt to this new life that the danger is already above my head.
“Babe!” Adam says coming after me , but I motion to him to stop.
“Just stay there, Adam!” I tell him. “I am sick of you!”
And his eyes became angry hearing me.
“I need to be alone!” and saying that I ran to the forest.
I need to clear my mind!
“What’s with that face?” Phillip asks Alex, seeing him with a sullen face, as he was watching somewhere outside the window, but Alex said nothing as he was grumpy.“Do you know what is wrong with him?” he asked Evan but he just shrugged his shoulders.“I have no idea. And now that you mentioned it you are right, he will always have that Grinch face. He looks normal only when Natalie is around.” and both Phillip and Evan came closer and looked outside the window to see what made Alex pissed off.Right there in the middle of the backyard garden, right beside the pool area, on two Manutti Kobo sun loungers Aida, Judy and Natalie were laughing their hearts out and giggling while they were playing with Judy and Evan’s twins.The babies are three months older and they are the cutest babies, being a perfect combination between Judy and Evan, who are so alike with Margot Robbie and Judd law.They called the girl Jade and the boy Rocco. They have thin blonde hair and the biggest blue eyes you
TWO MONTHS LATER.It’s been two months since Jerel and Lexie died, since all the alphas of the Eastern Packs came and asked Alexander to be their king, and yet both Alex and Natalie still think they're living a dream. I suppose that sometimes you are so used to the tragedy and the drama that when the time comes to be happy, you are still on alert.Today is the coronation day for them and also their wedding day because with everything that happened and everything that followed after that their lives were intense. They almost forgot what it's like to wake up in the morning and have a normal day.Everything revolved around the restoration of the Shadow’s packhouse, on the construction of a place for the Sunrise pack and even if Alex was the one in charge with this task, Natalie was working all day long on the social component of the two packs, being both Luna and Alpha at the same time.Evan and Judy are helping them and they got married a month ago when Judy finally marked the poor man
Alex started to laugh but seeing how serious the Alphas were he stopped.“You are not kidding me.” He said in the end.“We are serious. We want you as our Alpha King of Eastern Packs.“This is not a decision for the Council. You are just a part of this story, there are so many other packs. I can't force them to submit to me.” and Alex was damned right, but the leader opened the door and said.“Why don’t you go outside?”Alex stepped outside the house and he was shocked. Natalie followed her and she covered her mouth with her hands, but the moment Evan, Judy, Phillip and Livia exited Judy exclaimed.“Are you nuts? You must accept!” and hearing her Alex looked at her like she was crazy.“I may be a damned good Alpha but nothing recommends me as a king!”“You must be hit in your head!” Judy said, and that made Alex growl at her, because Kenji was offended, but Judy continued.“You are a good leader. You have a strategic mind and under this papa bear and scaring bogeyman wolfy you are the
Losing Adam shattered Natalie's heart, but it was not the time to dwell in grief. She looked at Phillip and him to lead the search and rescue team that arrived later from Jerel’s to look after Adam's body. She had to leave immediately to join Alexander's pack and stand side by side with him.As soon as Adam died the alarm echoed and she found out that the pack was under attack again. Alex was fighting in the battle against the bears.Natalie and Judy, along with their warriors from the Sunrise Pack, set out. They quickly arrived in Alexander's territory where they were fighting. Natalie signaled her warriors to join the battle against the bears, while she went to find Alexander. Along the way, she fought off many enemies. Just as she saw Alexander battling a group of bears, attempting to bite him, a massive bear appeared, roaring and aiming to tear Natalie to shreds. In the nick of time, Alexander arrived.Alexander's wolf form engaged in a fierce battle with the bear. Eventually, he
Natalie looked up to see Lexie, who was filled with rage. She considered Natalie responsible for everything bad in her life. She lost Jerel because of Natalie, as he marked her. And when she found our that Jerel had callously destroyed the house without regard for her life or for his own pup’s life , that had driven Lexie to madness, and she blamed Natalie for everything.She was Jerel’s favorite until Natalie came into the picture.Without Natalie’s presence now she would have killed Adam and taken his pack, maybe Alex too, and she would have been Jerel’s Luna. But no! Natalie ruined everything.So she escaped from the dungeons and took a bow and arrow she found in her way and when she saw Adam and Natalie, with Adam almost begging for forgiveness she couldn’t take it.She fixed the bow in that arrow and released the bow , while intending to kill Natalie.She failed even in doing that!She would have killed Adam later, but now all she wanted, all she needed was to see Natalie dead!“
Author’s POV.“Evan!” Alex called him as soon as he and Natalie caught him. “We are close, just slow down or you will have a heatstroke.”Evan was running in wolf form too, and so were his warriors, because as soon he heard that the pack is at risk all he knew was that Judy was there, alone. What if something happened to her?“I can’t lose her!” Evan howled. “I really fucked up in my relationship with her and I am sorry and I can’t change the past, man.” Evan mindlinked Alex, while he was running with him and Natalie. “ I made up my mind a long time ago but I was too afraid to admit that I changed my mind and I want her. I marked her, I claimed her” and the moment he said that Natalie looked at him in shock.Did he mark Judy?“She will be fine, Evan.” Alex said as he entered the Shadow pack territory but when they exited the forest Evan almost died as he saw the packhouse under siege. That splendid packhouse was burned down and there was no one around.“Oh my goddess” Natalie was scr
