Chapter 1 My Mate

Even before I am fully awake, I know that this is going to be a day from hell and I have had enough of those in my life. If just one more thing in my life goes wrong, I am out of here and I will never set foot in this territory again. “Did the bond form?” I ask Charna, my Lycan. If it did, it would make my day better, or at least I hope so. “It did form.” She replies, but her tone tells me something is wrong. I turned eighteen a week ago and found a connection with the future Alpha, Nico, one of the people on my list for hurting me over and over again. No, he never hit me and neither did anyone else. Okay, maybe I need to explain something to help you understand what I am talking about. On my sixth birthday, I had been at the lake with my Father, who is our Pack’s Beta, and the Alpha and Gamma families. I had gotten bored with the games they were playing, and I had wandered off into the forest; most of our territory is forest. I knew to keep an eye out for the markings that tell us where our borders are, and I had been picking wildflowers as I walked around. A soft whimper had gotten my attention and being the curious little Beta, I had gone looking for the source. If only I had known that I would come to hate my sixth birthday one day, I might have walked in the opposite direction. I had found a girl in the forest. Later, it turned out that she was just a little older than I, and I had taken her to our Alpha. Her name was Lucy, but she couldn’t tell us how she had gotten here or where she had come from. She did know that her birthday had just been a few days ago or would be in a few days, and that had been the first time that she had gotten something that was mine. “You have so many dolls, why don’t you give one to Lucy?” my Father had asked and as I had thought about which doll to gift her, I had nodded my head. My Father had grabbed my favorite doll from the picnic blanket and as I had objected to it, my Father had already given it to Lucy. I had tried to explain to my Father that I didn’t want to part with that specific doll, but he had just said that I was being selfish, and he had placed Lucy next to him on the blanket. Lucy had lived on the first floor with the Omegas for about a week, when my Father had moved Lucy to our floor. He had said that Lucy didn’t like living with the Omegas, and she had asked my Father if she could come live with us. I doubt nowadays that she used the word “us” back then, but I wasn’t there when she had asked and therefore I can’t be sure. Lucy overshadowed every birthday I had; my Father always told me that she didn’t have parents to throw her a party, and I could just share my party with her. This happened again and again, not only due to my Father but also due to the Alpha and Gamma families. Nico was the worst, and he would always remind me that Lucy was much prettier than I was, at least in his eyes. So, now you might understand why Nico is on my shit list. I train every single day because I have to, because I am the future Beta. Well, I was the future Beta, and now I am going to be the future Luna. Nico had been as surprised as I was, but he wanted to form a bond with me. After all, the Goddess had made the connection, and we needed to respect her decision. Lucy hadn’t been too happy with it; she had been trying to get Nico’s attention for almost a year now and had failed miserably. She even went out of her way to make sure I knew that she would never accept me as a Luna and I had just laughed in her face. Being Nico’s Mate will make me the Luna, and Lucy cannot do anything about it, even though she might try. I have gone through my morning routine and am rinsing the dishes I used for breakfast. I hardly ever eat breakfast in the main dining room, because I usually train during that time. I see that the door to the master bedroom is wide open, which means that my Father is already downstairs, probably having an early morning meeting with the rest of our leadership. “Why are you so quiet?” I ask Charna, this should be a joyous day for both of us. She doesn’t answer me, but the moment I leave the Beta floor, she starts pacing in my head and forces me to head up to the Alpha floor. I enter the floor using the code I was given after I turned sixteen, and I am met with complete silence. It seems I was right about the early morning meeting, and Nico is using it as an excuse to sleep in, just like he does every time his parents are preoccupied or absent. I hadn’t made any plans with Nico, even though we knew that today would probably be the day that our Mate-bond would be completed. Charna doesn’t understand why we didn’t make any plans, and to be honest, neither do I. My steps falter as I stand in front of Nico’s bedroom door and I am glad that our bond hadn’t formed earlier. If it had and we had accepted one another as Mates, I would be in excruciating pain right now. Because the Asshole is fucking another female, the sounds coming from his room don’t leave any room for errors and I am not sure what to do right now. “Is this why he didn’t want to tell anyone just yet?” Charna asks me and I think we both know that that is precisely the reason. “Ohh, Lucy. That feels so good.” I hear Nico groan, but it is the name he called that has made me furious and I can barely manage to keep myself from bursting in. I need to find a way to expose those two, and slowly, I make my way out of the Alpha floor and back to my own room without shedding a tear. I am going to make them pay for what they did and everyone will know about our connection, but it ends today.

Chapter 2 New Life

I walk into my bedroom and grab my suitcases from the back of my closet, placing them on my bed to start packing the remainder of my belongings. There are only a few sets of clothes left in my closet, and only the daily essentials remain in the bathroom. Most of the things I want to take with me are already in my suitcases. I made the decision to leave Shadow Valley Pack at my Sweet Sixteen party, and I already know where I am going. I will be going to the Elders to learn everything I need to know to become the best Beta I can be, and I will find a Pack that will appreciate me for who I am. My weapons are stored in the trunk of my car; I retrieve them every time I need them and return them to the trunk after cleaning. All that is left is my luggage, and then I will ensure that everyone understands who is responsible for my departure. Okay, let’s get introductions out of the way. My name is Dallas, I am eighteen years old and my Lycan, Charna, showed up a year ago. My life hasn’t been a bed of roses and the only reason I stayed this long is the hope of finding my Mate. Well, we already know that it didn’t go as planned. I am officially done with the people in my life and the leadership of this Pack. I walk back up to the Alpha floor, and to my surprise, Nico and Lucy are still at it, but I no longer give a damn. “Nico, harder.” I hear Lucy moan. “Put a Pup in me, I want you to cum inside me.” I can hear Nico groan before he yells that he is coming. I slam open the door, and Lucy drops to the floor when Nico pushes her off his cock, startled by my presence. Both make a mess of themselves and the bedroom. I don’t wait for him to respond; I just turn on my heel and walk down the hallway to the door. “Please, Dallas. Stop. This is not what it looks like; it just happened.” Nico says, hopping on one leg as he tries to pull on some sweatpants. I don’t say anything; I just keep walking down the stairs, and I know that Nico and Lucy are right behind me. Everyone in the main dining room goes quiet the moment they see me walking in, and I can hear a few whispers the moment Nico and Lucy walk in behind me; everyone can smell the scent of sex in the air. “I, Dallas, reject you, Nico, as my Mate.” I say after I have turned around to look at him. “I don’t care if you accept it or not. Just know that it won’t stop me from finding my own happiness and you will have to suffer the consequences of not accepting my rejection.” I state.“Dallas, why are you rejecting our Son?” Alpha Leon asks and I turn around to look at him. “Because, as usual, Lucy wanted what is mine and got it. Your Son fucked Lucy, even though he knew that our Mate-bond was nearly complete and now I know why he didn’t want us to tell anyone.” I say as I look into Alpha Leon’s eyes. I turn back to Lucy and Nico, he is still staring at me and his hands are pressed against his chest. I don’t feel any pain, but that might change if he accepts my rejection. “You wanted him; you can have him. You can have everything that was once mine. I hope that the two of you become very happy together, and I hope that you enjoy your victory.” I say to Lucy before I walk past her and out of the main dining room. “Stop, you can’t leave. You are my Mate.” Nico says and I turn around to see him standing in the doorway. “I am no longer your Mate. You chose to sleep with her, and now you can deal with the consequences. You have always put Lucy before me, just like your family, the Gamma family and even my own Father. You never failed to remind me that you thought that Lucy was prettier than I am. Our Mate-bond would have made you see that you had been wrong, that you had hurt me with your words, and I would have forgiven you because of our Mate-bond. What I can’t forgive and what I will never forgive is that you chose to fuck another woman.” I say in a calm, cold voice. The entire dining room is quiet, and everyone is waiting for what is to come next. “Dallas, there might be a perfect explanation…” But I don’t give Alpha Leon the chance to finish his sentence. “What kind of explanation can your Son have for being buried balls deep in Lucy? Where in this damn universe could this have been an accident?” I growl in his direction. More Pack-members have gathered in the dining room, all of them curious about the drama unfolding in front of them. My Father finally gets up from his chair and I am damn curious about what he will have to say. “Dallas, you are the future Beta. You already have status within Shadow Valley Pack; why not grant Lucy the status of Luna?” My Father says. Charna is growling in my head, but she keeps to the back of my mind. Neither one of us wants him to know that we already shifted or that we know that he lied about our Mother. “HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND? YOU WANT ME TO GIVE LUCY MY MATE, JUST LIKE YOU GAVE HER THE LAST GIFT MOM GAVE ME OR THE FAMILY HEIRLOOM YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME ON MY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY.GET A FUCKING GRIP ON THAT DAMN BRAIN OF YOURS, I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS.” I yell at my Father and I take advantage of his shocked state. “Nico, this is your last chance to accept my rejection. Once I walk out the door, you might never get the chance again.” I state, looking at Nico and it seems to sink in that no one can change my mind. “I, Nico, accept your rejection.” Nico says, knowing that I will never forgive him. I walk out of the Pack-house without looking back; I get into my SUV to finally get out of this place and start my new life.
