Novel & Cerita The Spurned Mate

I hated that more… But then the truth came out. The bond. That undeniable pull we both felt. She was my mate. And now— She was gone and the mate bond was severed, like it was never there. I stopped pacing for a bit, as the thought hit hard.. The mate bond was gone! I grabbed the nearest object, a small vase on the side table, and threw it across the chamber. It exploded against the wall in a violent crash, the shards scattering across the floor. I dragged both palms down my face and forced myself to think.

Caspian remarked dryly. “I think it’s kind of romantic.” Visenya replied, a wistful smile playing on her lips. “That’s because you’re a girl,” Caspian muttered under his breath. Visenya always treaded lightly with Caspian when it came to the subject of mates. He had found his wolf the previous year and had learned the moment he first shifted that his mate had perished. The way he described it was as if a part of himself had been stripped of all light and replaced with a harrowing void.

I could feel my heart sink as she spoke, a heaviness settling in my gut that was impossible to ignore. "Mates," she said, the word hanging in the air like a delicate thread, "means two people the gods themselves have deemed to be perfect for one another, two souls intertwined in a way that transcends mortal understanding. It's a connection that is said to be forged in the heavens, an unbreakable bond that pulls these two individuals together across time and space, across lifetimes. It’s a love that is supposed to be pure, untainted by the world's harsh realities. But that’s the thing—love is never that simple, and neither is the idea of a mate."

She looked like the girl I loved, but also… not. “Freya,” I said. “Come back. Please.” Kade laughed. “She’s seen the truth, Finnick. She knows what she is now.” “What truth?” I asked. Freya lifted her hands, and the shadows rose. They formed pictures in the air, symbols and images I didn’t understand. A two-faced wolf. A bleeding moon. Fire burning the forest. “There’s a prophecy,” Freya whispered. “It says the Cursed Mate will either save the packs… or destroy them.”

He turned away from me dismissively and took Sarah's perfectly manicured hand in his much larger one. "Sarah," he said in a voice warm with affection that he'd never used with me, "I'd be deeply honored if you'd accept my proposal to be my chosen mate and future Luna." Sarah's smile was absolutely radiant and triumphant. "Yes! Of course, yes! I'd love nothing more!" The entire pack erupted in thunderous cheers and enthusiastic congratulations. They looked like the perfect couple standing there together and destined for greatness. Everything a pack could want in their leaders. While everyone celebrated this wonderful news, I stood there completely invisible and utterly forgotten. Kira whimper

Cameron I watched Athena leave, and with every trace of excitement, I felt drained like water from spaghetti. I was doing everything I knew to make her see reason with me, but she didn’t even care about me. My mood was ruined by her blatant refusal, which made me think about forcing a bond by marking her. I couldn’t do that, though. Even though I was desperate to retain my father’s legacy, Athena was my mate, and I wanted a natural bond to form between us.

When they finally parted, Kian looked straight at me, a conqueror’s smirk on his face, and delivered the killing blow. "Ember and I will hold our mating ceremony at the next full moon," he said, his voice dripping with a victor's pride. "We are second chance mates. A gift from the Goddess herself." Second chance mates. A bond even more precious than fated mates, a gift from the Moon Goddess to wolves who have been deeply hurt. I looked at their clasped hands, and the world crumbled before my eyes. I had lost her. For good.

But everyone had their weaknesses. This time it was a mate. The warriors believed that one of their members had their mate among us. So we had to give up one of ours, if they were mates. I reluctantly agreed under the condition that the mate, whoever he or she was, was on board with this. I would allow this only if they are willing to. “We are on board with this. But we need to stay connected on this always.” One of them quipped.

It looked really nice. “You know that answer," she shrugged again. “Unlike you, my mate didn't want me and denied me," I gasped. “What?" “In our pack, if one mate doesn't want the other mate, the unwanted mate would be banished, unless you have a family to go back to. In my case, my parents were long gone," “That's so cruel of them," She raised a brow at me. “I'm sorry," I said. “That must have been tough for you to let out,"
