"What are fated mates, and why am I one?" I asked, seeming to be confused by her words. She had confirmed that Rebecca was the chosen, which meant she had to be with Aiden, and his Luna. Which gutted me, but I wanted to know how, I and my pup fitted in this scenario. "In ancient times, before humans knew about werewolves and tried to slaughter us all, every werewolves had their mate. A fated mate. A chosen mate was rare, reserved only for widows and widowers. Once a wolf turned eighteen they moved out of their packs, and went hunting for their mates. It took years for some, while it took some found them within weeks. But it was a pride for werewolves to find their other half. The person the goddess had simply created for them. But after the war, mates started being rare, and soon they were long forgotten. That's how the season came about, but you Eveline are a fated mate to Aiden. You have a bond even you two can't deny. Your souls call to one another, and as much or hard as you
Aiden. I heard the first shot, just a mile before I got to the cottage. I could feel it, my mate was in danger but what I didn't expect was to see my mother's car parked there also. Before I could wonder how she knew Euphoria was here, the smell of gunpowder and copper tainted the air. I ran inside the small cottage only to be met with the lifeless body of the Seer on the floor, covered in her blood. There was no sign of my mother or Euphoria. But there was a set of blood leading to the kitchen which I followed with a heavy hard. It's either it was the blood that belonged to my mother or my mate. I don't know which one was worse. The blood led me to the garden where I found my mother crouching in pain, but still moving towards the forest. You could see she was in a lot of pain, but trying to endure, and move forward despite that. "Mom" I called out, and relief passed through her eyes when she saw me. I hugged her waist and sat her down, but she refused pushing me towards the for
"I lived in the forest for years, there is nowhere to run, little one. If you come out now willingly, I am going to make your death quick and painless but if I have to find you myself, you're going to regret the day you agreed to join the season." Andrew called out. He didn't think I was stupid enough to come out, did he? Who comes out to die even if you promise them a quick death? He was delusional. He shot his sister, and now he was hunting me. Who was the person mated to him? Just the air near him seemed to turn cold, and gave me shivers. Imagine having to live with this monster. I also grew up in the forest. Got trained by my father to hunt, and be hunted. He showed me ways to hide, and how to hide your scent when hunted. Andrew didn't scare me, because he could never find me in this forest.We will see who knows the forest better.My hoodie was already a hundred feet from where I was, leading him further away from where I was while I on the other hand hid on top of the old ro
"I have killed a man!" That's all I heard when I got to my mate. I had never ran that fast in my life. I was so distracted by the scent of blood that was mixed with her scent, I didn't realise the blood was not hers until I got there and found her walking aimlessly in the forest, a severed head on her hand, and she didn't seem lucid enough to see me. "Babe, it's me. Please snap out of it. We need to go." I would have carried her, but she didn't want to let go of the bloody head. I wanted to know what happened to her, and whose bloody head she was holding, and wouldn't let go of."I killed him, I killed a man, '' she repeated, and I could see the trauma in her eyes. The trauma of killing someone, can get to you, and it didn't help that now all her senses were on overload because of the pup she was carrying. My pup. Many things were happening in our lives that we didn't have time to talk about or acknowledge what we felt. I hate knowing she thinks I don't care about her, and now she
"Aiden, calm down. We don't know the whole story." I tried to make him understand even though I didn't. It was a hard line to cross, but I needed him focused. The pack needed him focused so we didn't have much time. The full moon is in two days, and we can't let the change of power ceremony take place. "He is my father, Euphoria. How can he do that to me and my mother? How could he?" He paced in the living room, his fist clenched hard, and his skin turning pale. I get that he was upset, but right now that's not what we need. I needed Aiden the Alpha, not Aiden the child. I wanted him to be able to fight this, and we can deal with everything that happened afterwards. "I understand you're upset, so is the rest of us, but we have pressing matters at hand. We can't let the ceremony happen but we lack manpower. All the deltas, and warriors are supporting the Williams, and we can't tell the pack what is going on because they will panic, and wolves don't do very well." I told him hoping
"Join me!" His husky voice whispered when I gave him a towel at the bathroom door.He was tempting me, and he knew it. Those ripped muscles were begging to be touched, run fingers on them, and that tight ass that was begging me to bite it. I was meaning to do it at the river but shit happened and I forgot about that tight ass until now. "I can't." I answered even though everything in me was begging me to jump him, and make right the wrong of our mating night. He came closer, his bare chest within reach, and his mouth so close I could kiss. "Can't or won't?" He asked, trapping me on the door, and I could swear I felt his cock twitching on my stomach. My panties got wet at the same time, but I knew we couldn't do it. Not today. "Can't!" I repeated. "Why is that?" This time his mouth was on my ear. Why wasn't I pushing him away? I know it felt good to be with him again like this, but this isn't the right time. "You just lost your mother, and we are burying her in a few hours" I re
We cremated Luna at dawn, and I held Aiden's hand tight as he watched his mother's body burn. By the time we woke up, everything was ready. Jerome, and Amy prepared the ceremony and even went back to fetch the Seer. The ceremonial white cloths were already wrapped around them both. The wood set up, and gasoline soaking their dead bodies. All we did was show up, and let Aiden do the honours of lighting the first match. Even a strong man breaks at the sight of what happened but Aiden couldn't. All you could see was the tears on his cheek, and how tight he was holding my hand as evidence that he was hurting. "Aiden, it is time to say your goodbye's, and say your last wishes." Amy told him, but I didn't know if he could do it. I know how it feels to lose a parent and I could barely say two words at my father's funeral. "I am here for you." I whispered, squeezing his hand as a form of my support. I couldn't help but feel guilty for this. If Luna hadn't come with me to see the Seer, sh
"Eveline Marcus Richy!" Terrence greeted with a big smile on his face. He was one of the kids I used to train with in what my father used to call a parlour so the higher-ups wouldn't know it was a training ground. He was smart like that. Who would have thought something called a parlour would have wolves running track, learning self defence, and becoming warrior's in their own right? Beta Williams may not have liked being challenged by my father or failed him because of his status so, he wouldn't become a warrior but that didn't take his passion away. He took his skills elsewhere, and decided to teach in the pack. The parlour wasn't big, having about fifteen males, and about five pups including me, but we learnt a lot, and Terrence Brody was the only pup that managed to challenge me, and almost won, but that was on my sick day. "Terrence "sore loser" Brody. How is your arm?" I teased. I was a little surprised when I got to the parlour and it was open. Everyone was still there tr
