Novel & Cerita Forsaken Mate

She felt really sad, realizing that her dreams for the future were gone because of her duty. Looking at the moonlit forest around her home, the familiar trees felt strange. Their shadows seemed to tell her ancient secrets and warn her about a path she had to take now. Turning back to her dad, her voice shook with both defiance and sadness. “But Father, what about what I want? What about love? What if he isn't my mate?” Her words hung in the night air, a fragile plea.

Mate bond got me pretty cool. Alpha Ford never gave them a chance. I saw him burn one to ashes in the woods some years before he died. He made his point clear; they are cursed and shouldn't be allowed to wander around or be pitied, they were stoic that even if you shove chunks of glass through their holes they wouldn't wince. They were mechanized. They bore the mark of the Abyss. Now Ariadne is at risk. The whole pack will be aiming for that. I run my palm down my face.

​I begin moving before I can fully grasp onto my thoughts, fully consider who the owner might be, my instincts taking over to find her, to find my mate. ​I feel my chest tighten at the thought. I had a mate. A mate of my own, made for me and perfect for me, somewhere out there, and I wanted nothing more than to lay eyes on her. ​My mate. ​I had a mate, and she lived literally one door away. I smile at that, oddly pleased that fate was blessing me with such an unexpected situation. Why hadn't I smelled her clearly when I first moved in? Her scent profile was strangely faint from a distance, almost completely masked, but up close like this, it was intoxicating.

"Enough riddles. Speak plainly." The figure nodded, their eyes filled with an unsettling mix of solemnity and urgency. "You are not the only ones seeking the truth of fated mates. The malevolent force that has awakened is drawn to the power within your bond, and it seeks to exploit it for its own malevolent purposes." My heart raced as the implications of the stranger's words settled upon us. The sanctuary we had once thought to be a refuge now held the very danger we sought to escape. Before we could press for more information, the figure vanished into the shadows, leaving us with a sense of foreboding and uncertainty.

Yep, there must be a logical reason that my still-muddied brain just can’t quite comprehend yet. Regardless, their words play in my head over and over again until I have them memorized. 'The fated mate bond is not the be-all and end-all of your journey, Vanessa. You can still be happy. You deserve to be happy.' Those words challenge everything I thought I knew about fated mates and even the Goddess herself. I’d held onto the belief that finding a mate would mean finding a family for as long as I could remember.

My grandmother passed before I was born due to grief, but I've been told she was a very remarkable lady. A door closing makes me jump, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turn off the shower and grab the towel, drying off as I step out. I grab the clothes he gave me, enjoying these ones a lot more already. I throw them on, enjoying the clean casual clothes. I look in the mirror, seeing the red dye from my hair fading away to leave my bright white hair showing. I grab my hair and tie it up in a bun, trying to hide the white showing through. My fathers words echoing in my head yet again, and yet I had let Talon see my wolf. "He is our mate. You will not keep me from him." Freya snarls. "The moon

Jeremiah asked with a teasing tone. “Well, yes I have, Jeremiah…” Engram's expression suddenly turned somber, “I’m a mateless wolf because my parents were not a soulmate… but still, I always dreaming that someday I could find the one who can complete me…” It melted Jeremiah’s heart to hear Engram’s confession. “Don't worry, I am sure you will find someone.” Jeremiah genuinely felt sorry for the prince. ‘After he cut the bond with his mate, he also would become mateless, just like me…’

I picked her up by her throat and screamed inches from her face “WHERE YOU DISTRACTING ME SO SOMEONE COULD TAKE MY MATE?” “What?! Of course not! Was she in the pack house? YOU ALREADY BROUGHT HER HERE BEFORE YOU BROKE UP WITH ME?!!” She screamed back. Pack house guards ran out of the house in groves. I threw her to the ground. Stepping on her as I walked. “Someone throw her in the dungeons. Whatever happens to my mate, Is going to happen to her.” Chelsea cried and begged me to change my mind but she couldn’t be my focus anymore. My mate was in pain, she needed me. I shifted and took off into the Forrest trying to track her scent.

“Such a low blow coming from you, brother. And no, I meant you were always with your friend Dyan for the longest of time and after his death, you just withdrew and the only maiden you showed affection for was Mia.” “I mingled with a few maidens in the past, but withdrew after Dyan’s death and I don’t prefer the companies of men. I always appreciated the beauty of maidens. I had a belief Dyan had a thing for you when he yet lived. But he told me he admired you a lot and it might show off as more, but it wasn’t. I have loved this girl since I was but fifteen summers old and I have not stopped since then. She’s my mate and the one I want to spend the rest of my existence with. It can’t get any

"You've already mated with her. Backing out now will start a war between our packs!" I froze. He was right. I had mated with Ravenna. I’d sworn an oath before everyone, witnessed by the Moon Goddess. If I chased after Ember now, I would be betraying them all. But… I remembered that soul-crushing pain. That was Ember's pain from the brand. And I was about to mark another woman. "Which way did she go?" I asked, my voice hoarse. Marcus hesitated. "North… towards the No-Man's-Land."
