Chapter 5
Sadie had not come out of her shock yet but I didn’t blame her. I did not look at her. The only thing I did
was stare at the moon.
The moon was bright and calming but I was feeling the opposite of what the moon was.
Sometimes I wonder why the moon goddess gave her creations the ability to reject their mates.
Mates were supposed to be your only refuge, something you can’t do
without.
Werewolves had forgotten that mate bond was a way for a ersom to find their other halves. Now, they
look at backgrounds, bloodlines or something else when looking for a mate. The mates given to them
by the moon goddess has a higher chance of being despised if their background or their bloodlines
doesn’t make it to their mates’ unknown bottom line.
In this kind of world, I would rather choose who I want to be with after I have taken a good look at them
than succumbing to the mate bond again. It is not like I don’t believe in the moon goddess, I just don’t
want to be hurt again. The pain of a broken mate bond isn’t an easy thing to endure and it isn’t
something I want to reexperience.
Sadie finally calmed down. She sat beside me before taking my hands.
into hers.
“Is it because of that scu mbag alpha’s rejection?” Sadie’s voice was choked with so bs and I felt sorry
for her. She shouldn’t have been brought into my mess but she is the only one that mufgt be able to get
what I needed so I took the selfish option of informing her.
“Majorly.” I manages to croak out and Sadie patted my hands softly in a bid to console me.
“You know that guy from my pack that had been wooing me?” She asked as she looked away from me
to join me in staring at the sky. I missed to acknowledge her statement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had told me about the alpha that chased her fervently without any regard for her unsavory
background and status.
I was so happy for her when I hears it because Sadie deserved a burst of sunshine amidst the gloomy
atmosphere her lack exuded.
“He will find a way to get you the little but of wolfsbane you need. I just
want to confirm something. Are you really sure you want to do this?” Sadie asked as she brought her
eyes back to my face.
“It is what I want.” I said quietly. It is either this or extreme pain and suffering.
Sadie nodded and stood up. I knew she was about to leave. Wolfsbane was a product controlled by
those in power. It won’t be easy to get it. “Sadie, don’t stress yourself out. If you can’t find any
wolfsbane, you can stop searching for it. We would find another alternative.” I advised before I shifted
into my wolf.
I began to run back to my pack.
After I got to the Silver Crescent pack, I snuck back to my home.
I took a refreshing bath before relaxing on my old bed.
My mind couldn’t help but go back to the stranger I had a one night with. That night was the first time I
felt so free and uninhibited. That stranger had loved every inch of my body in a very memorable way.
Besides, I thought my wolf, Diver would complain but she didn’t. She was silent all through except for
when she purred when I saw our one night stand descending from the VIP or VVIP area upstairs.
‘Silver?’ I called. She answered me back enthusiastically and my mind settled down. I would not want
something bad to happen to my wolf because I decided to indulge myself. It would have been a painful
exchange no matter how I loved the stranger I had a one night stand with.
A quiet knock reverberated through my small house. It brought me our of my thoughts.
I stood up to check the door. I don’t know who would want to visit me at this time. Besides, nobody
comes here except to issue jobs and the like.
I had outgrown the expectation of someone visiting me because they liked me.
I opened the door to see alpha Jake, my former mate. His blue eyes were still as enchanting as they
had been the night before but for some reason, I didn’t like them as much as I previously did.
“Hello alpha Jake.” I said as I bowed down slightly. I would not want my pack’s alpha to punish me
because of setting as trivial as the respects for alphas.
Alpha Jake’s eyes scammed my body thoroughly and I began to feel
uncomfortable. It was not like the stranger’s hot gaze from last night. While the stranger’s gaze excited
me, alpha Jake’s gaze made me feel like ants were crawling along my skin.
He held me up as he righted my posture. When he finishes, I took a tiny step back. I didn’t want
anything to do with him.
Why would alpha Jake come here secretly to meet a shewolf he had already rejected? I knew his
motives for being here won’t be pure but for now, I had to listen.
He was more powerful than I am. I was just s weak omega. Going against him in a frontal action won’t
be wise.
“Alpha Jake, what can I help you with? I am about to go do my chores.” I said in a soft voice. I tried to
hint at him that I had things to do even if the action might be futile.
“Avery, I know my rejection was a bit harsh but I am willing to make it up to you.” Alpha Jake said and
horror began dawning on me. This shouldn’t be what I am thinking it is. Alpha Jake should not destroy
the good impression he had on me previously.
I took a deep breath, “Alpha Jake, why would you make it up to me? It is natural for you to reject me
because I wasn’t up to the standards you set for your chosen mate.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt pained me when I said it was natural for Aloha Jake to discard what didn’t fit his whims but I said it
anyway. I would do anything to make him leave right now.
“I am leaving this pack two days from today and I want you to come with me. I know you don’t get along
with Lily. Don’t worry, I will caution her. All I want is for you yo take me as your mate.” Alpha Jake finally
expressed what he came here for and it made disgust rise up from the pits of my stomach.
Alpha Jake wanted me to follow him to his pack to be his concubine while Lily takes Herr rightful place
as his Luna. A concubine that would never see the light. A concubine that would be ridden with side
talks and
rumors.
I stumbled back, “What?!”
I had suspected his motives when he appeared. I didn’t know one of my worst nightmares will still come
true.
I could not believe I had wanted to take this disgusting scu m as my lifelong refuge. Now I could
understand why the moon goddess allowed
her creations to reject each other.
If I had yo spend a lifetime with a scu mbag like aloha Jake, I would rather run away or commit suicide.
I stabilized myself with my doorframe as I observes the insect tahr called himself an alpha.
I couldn’t actually reject him here brcauose there was nobody around to stop him if he daecides to
force himself on me. Besides, even if my pack members are around, they wouldn’t stop him.
They would say it is my bewitching face that caused this scenario. They would a not lift a finger to herlo
meq.
My pack’s alpha might even give me out as a gift to improve hiosa relations with alpha Jake.
“Alpha Jake, give me more time to think about it.” I said after a long while. Alpha Jake took a long ko ok
at me before leaving. He knew I had no room to reject or object so he felt at ease but he didn’t know I
had other plans.
