LUCIUS
What transpired in the pack's hall shocked me beyond belief. Knowing that I would be rejected by my mate and in front of the entire group in a matter of minutes made me feel anxious. Although I knew that having a companion would be enjoyable, I was afraid of how my friend would treat me. I am aware that I will be turned down since my partner will not desire an omega along with her partner. I learned that she was an alpha, but based on my position, I was certain that she would reject me.
Selene was near the area because I had told her about it, and she was prepared for my rejection. She was upset because my mate had been such a cunning and egotistical woman to wish to deceive her partner in front of the entire pack. Despite her distaste for the idea, she understood that there was nothing more we could do.
She was quite astonished to discover that she hadn't rejected me. She understood that my mate was just torturing me with that.
I groaned loudly, trying to force the thoughts out of my mind. My purpose in being here in the woods is to prepare the items we will need for our date. I was thrilled that I would soon be seeing my fiancé, even though I knew I definitely needed some time.
I realized that this was precisely the kind of diversion from my surroundings that I was looking for. Selene doesn't seem to care that I've been the talk of the group, even though I made a concerted effort to get things back to how they were. She was merely looking for methods to lift my spirits.
I took a seat on the bench that Selene and I had prepared. I gazed at the moon, its light illuminating the trees and adding to the beauty of the location I had set up. The moonlight enhanced the place's beauty, which I had made more beautiful by adding lighting. I couldn't resist thinking about my partner.
I have a strong connection to her that I doubt is the result of the mate bond; the more I attempt to push it away, the stronger it becomes, but it will eventually break when I realize why I wanted to be rejected. I knew I would soon be rejected by my partner, and going on would cause me to think about her and entertain fantasies about what we could do together.
I knew I had to give Selene my whole attention since she is the only woman I will ever open my heart to. I was aware that falling in love with my lover could be difficult. I was aware that I would ultimately suffer hurt and experience some form of rejection.
A voice called out to me, "Lucius," which startled me out of my reverie. I turned to face Selene and noticed how attractive she looked in her blue gown with knitted blossoms on the sleeves.
"You look fantastic," I gave her clothing a quick compliment and then looked over her entire body, trying to take in all she was wearing.
Her clothing was appropriate and accentuated all of her curves. My gaze seems to rest on her curves for a long moment before settling on her breasts.
I grinned back at her as she looked over my body and remarked, "You aren't looking bad either."
I was completely exposed by my abs in my brown shirt. I was wearing black pants with a handy zipper slit that opened and closed with ease. The jeans' tips were designed to be extremely little.
Though I knew I looked amazing, I blushed when Selene said something kind about the clothes I was wearing.
I approached her and held her hands before guiding her to the bench.
"You did a fantastic job decorating this space." "It looks amazing, and hopefully the wind won't ruin it like it did last time," she said, looking around in shock.
"What's up with you?" I was a little awkward at first, not knowing what to say.
We've always gone on dates, so I haven't felt shy before, but I do now. I was aware that everything and everyone has an initial instance and that things can happen at any time.
"I'm doing great," she answered, and then her stomach rumbled.
"Are you hungry?" "Want some snacks?" After some time, I asked again, but this time I was not as afraid as I had been, and I smiled at her.
She said, dreamily grinning, "That will be great," as she fixed her gaze on the basket in front of us.
"Foodie," she grinned, and I joked.
As soon as I poured the snacks into a dish, she exclaimed, "Let's dig in."
I took some and was ready to put it in my mouth when I suddenly felt uneasy, and Selene appeared to sense something wasn't quite right.
"What the heck is wrong?" I let out a deep breath as she gazed at me questioningly.
I felt her face fall as I answered, "I don't know, but the smell is familiar to that of my mate," and that's when I recognized my error. I was aware that calling my pal "mine" was incorrect on my part because I don't know her name.
"That's not how it works." She looked at me furiously and puffed. "The truth is that I don't know her name, and that is the only way I can refer to her," I said.
"You could have called her the crazy alpha," she remarked, and I understood by nodding. I knew she was right to be upset, and I also knew I would have to help her see things.
What a charming location! "Apologies, am I disturbing someone?" I turned to gaze at my mate fiercely as soon as I heard her voice.
Although, as an omega, I have no right to reject my partner unless she rejects me first, I would have rejected my partner nonetheless.
Are you here right now to turn him down? Selene looked daggers at my friend, who laughed, saying, "You should get over this and stop pestering his life."
She smiled and said, "I'm here to get it done," but I could see she didn't think I would approve of what she intended to do.
Better, Selene muttered, breathing heavily and gritting her teeth.
Her words, "I'm here to take him with me," caused my eyes to widen in disbelief.
Selene stood protectively in front of me and exclaimed, "No, that ain't happening." I got up and gave her a furious look.
"Nobody can stop me from doing that, and not even your petty alpha can do that," she said, grinning at me before clicking her tongue and walking away. She turned to leave, saying, "You should be ready around 5 a.m."
************
When I awoke, I found myself cuddled up against Selene, who had put her arms around me in a protective embrace. She wants me to stay, as much as I want to, and I don't think I'll be able to get away from her for very long.
Selene had discovered that we might attempt to flee; thus, our attempts to do so had been unsuccessful.
I had made the decision to fight Selene until the end. Although I was aware that things might not work out, I'm not willing to give up without a fight.
Oh, Lucius. Now get the heck out of your room; it's time to go. Selene was asleep when I heard my friend's voice.
With straight faces, we left my room together. As I gazed at my partner, I became aware of my heart thumping against its confines.
Since rogues receive training in our pack, I understood that since she was the only one that arrived, defeating her would be simple for the two of us.
It looks like a gang brawl. "You shouldn't think I'll go easy on you both; I'll be the only one fighting you," she said as we charged at her.
We were both on the ground with bruises all over our bodies after she got into a fight with us. I always sense a spark bursting from my skin whenever our skin comes into contact with one another, and it gets stronger with each passing moment.
She went away, saying, "Take him away and lock him up in the chariot."
At that point, my only emotion was hatred for my partner. That this might ever happen to me seemed unthinkable. Having always imagined that I would get old and give birth to Selene, my dream was dashed the moment I met my partner. I was so furious that my only thought was to murder my partner.
FREYAThe satisfaction of accomplishing my goals was overwhelming. As we emerged from the group, I was happy and delighted to see my mate's fiancée. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy."I love you, Selene," he replied, watching as she made a valiant effort to lose the chain. I growled to myself as tears began to stream from his eyes. In my presence, my partner confessed his love to another woman, which upset me.Although I realized it wouldn't be a good idea to take him to my pack violently, I had already made up my mind and couldn't go back. He will not be put back in his pack by me.The instant I laid eyes on him, I knew something was not quite right. There was a sense in which he was both my mate and not. I was caught off guard because, despite my wolf and his scent telling me otherwise, his behavior led me to believe that he wasn't my mate.Even without knowing who I was, I don't see why he would want to reject me. I knew something had to have p
LUCIUSI woke up with a pang in my head and heart. My heart felt heavy as I stared around the room I was in. All I could see was nothing but white ceilings. I stared at the ceilings for a while with a foggy head.My heart was racing like I had just run a race of five hundred meters. I could hear my heart beating rapidly. I tried hard to contain my breathing, but I couldn't. I was able to contain my breathing after a while. I tried hard to remember what brought me here, and all I could remember was my mate. I could remember the hatred I harbored for my mate. She doesn't care about anything or anybody. She brought me to her pack forcefully, and when I tried to escape, she almost killed me. She told the guards to throw me in a cold room, which I thought she was bluffing about, but it's nothing like I had thought. The cold room is a place I can describe as a torture room. The room is so cold that I would have been dead if I wasn't a werewolf. I knew that I would have been able to wit
FREYAI frowned as I took a seat at the training ground. I was in shock at what had transpired. I was unaware that my body was overreacting to something. I'm concerned about something or someone whose name escapes me. I think I may have insulted someone, even if I didn't know them.In my entire life, I have never felt anything like this. I've never had this much concern or worry about someone or anything. It seems as though I have deeply hurt the individual. Anxiety was permeating every part of my body.I heard Seraphina exclaim, "Alpha, I'm here," and I smiled as I turned to face her. I was relieved she could come. I was hoping for a duel between the two of us. I hope she feels the same way I do—that is, to let off steam.I started to continue, "I called you here because..." when Seraphina interrupted."You called me here because you want to have a duel with me, right?" I nodded in agreement as she hurriedly remarked, "Just like old times when you are confused and don't know what to
FREDAIt was unbelievable to me that my mother would say something like this. I lost it when she said that. I didn't do anything, so how dare she try to blame me for it? Despite knowing that I wouldn't act in such a manner, she consented since he is my partner.Is she aware of the damage he has caused me? She ought to be aware of what made me act in this way. With an authoritative, deep baritone voice, my dad responded, "Don't talk to your mom like that, young lady."His tone made me want to give in to his voice, but I was able to ignore it."You should know what he did before questioning me." What would you do if it were your turn? You would perform worse than I did, I'm sure."How would you feel if my dad was telling someone that he loved her and not only that you were there?" Would you have felt comfortable rejecting me the moment he saw you because of the person he thought he loved? How might you respond? I angrily exclaimed at her, "You can't understand a thing because you haven
LUCIUS After hearing what Freya's parents had to say, I couldn't help but feel bad about what I had done to her. Though I understood it was inappropriate to say such things, I assumed she would treat her spouse the same way others do. I wanted her to reject me because I had assumed she would. I was shocked at how much I had wounded her. Encouraging Selene that I loved her and then encouraging her to reject me felt like a terrible mistake.I doubt the love is still present in my heart, but I knew that what I felt for Selene was love. If I kept claiming I loved Selene and would do anything to get back to her, I knew for sure that things would not work out the way I wanted them to. I was aware of the harm it could cause her. Knowing that she was open to giving other men in her life a chance made me feel hurt. I knew such thinking wasn't appropriate because I had already done that to her. I'm having trouble deciding what to do. There was part of me that wanted to stay with my mate and
FreyaMy heart felt like it had been pierced by millions of swords that are laced with wolfsbane. I couldn't bear to see my friend say to my face that he thinks I'm someone else. I felt sad knowing that my own mate doesn't recognize me but instead thinks that I'm somebody else, but not anybody but the person he said he loves. I don't know whose partner had the guts to tell them to their face that they loved someone else and that their partner looked like the person they loved. My heart wasn't in good shape, and I knew if I didn't take care of it, I might break down. I knew for a fact that my partner is in love with someone else, and it hurt me to know that, but that's the absolute truth that can't be changed. I knew that, being an alpha, I might be able to hold it, but this is different; I wasn't able to hold it. I knew that I had no strength in me to withstand the fact that my partner thinks I'm not the person I am but another person. I feel hurt knowing that my mate loves someone
SeleneI woke up with a pang of a headache, hoping to see Lucius beside me, but I couldn't. I felt my heart ache immediately. I couldn't believe he had been gone for days now. I felt the need to hate him, but I knew that I didn't have to do that because he wasn't responsible for that; Freya was. I felt the need to strangle her and bury her for letting me be apart from my mate.I felt the need to cry and kill him for what she had done, but I knew there was nothing I could do about it. I have been restless the past few days for Lucius, but there is nothing I can do. I have been trying to find ways to contact him, but I have found none. I tried hard and even tried telling the Alpha to contact him, but he didn't want to. I have made up my mind to keep bugging him to give in to my demands. I knew that he would have no choice but to do as I have said.I stood up from my bed and staggered into the bathroom to have my bath. I walked out of the bathroom shortly with my hair dripping with water
LUCIUS I was confused, knowing that my companion had looked in on me while I was sleeping. I had no idea what to do. I sensed a physical drain on my abilities. I knew that anything I asked of her would infuriate her, and moreover, I knew that I now knew her true intentions, so I felt compelled to find out. She had expressed a desire for me to accept her, but I refused to do the same as I was already engaged to someone else and I was in love. I was forced to explain that I believed her to be Selene, even though I knew there was nothing I could say or do to justify what I had done the day before. Furthermore, I have no idea why I did what I did yesterday. I'm walking back and forth in my room in the morning. She knew that I was going to be leaving shortly, but I couldn't understand why she would come look at me. Although I too don't want to leave, I knew that I had to go regardless of the circumstances because of Selene. I knew, as much as I did, that she would be devastated at not
