Chapter 5

Everyone that was dancing all over the place stopped, and Alpha Jaime took his stand. I looked at my gold watch to see it’s 11:58, almost time for the big reunion. I actually bounce my feet up and make a little happy dance, Kia smiles and laughs at my silly happy dance.

“Pack members who will receive their wolves by the end of tonight's full moon, please step outside to welcome your wolf, everyone else can walk to the front of the cement area, once we have our newest members and they have sworn their alliance, we will have our pack run. Thank you all, for your attendance.

This is it! I am finally going to have my wolf, my wolf is so close by, I hold on tight to Kia who is now nervous, ou no. I hope she doesn't get a small panic attack, Alpha Lame is always being strict with Omegas, Kia is no exception, I walk holding hands with her to feel a bit calm.

Once we are outside the clouds above are hiding the moon, wired. The moon is usually visible in the time of the change, I stand next to my girl, hugging her tight. I look around to see if Mykel is near to have a small pep talk, but I don’t see him.

I see my mom from afar waving as Samie jogs to us, Kia is now shivering and my head starts to hurt even worse than when I talked about that kids story, it feels like a migraine but twice as worse. Samie pulls my hand and I see her hand has a swirling thing around it, I look at it mezmerised not paying attention to my surroundings.

Then I feel it the moon’s shining light, I look behind me and the head hack gets even worse, I hold on to my head from exploding, not seeing Kia is shifting to her wolf, all omegas are your typical gray wolf, none of them are of another color, unless they are mated to another class.

Kia actually shifted to a beautiful sandy colored wolf, she howled when she shifted, but I didn’t shift at all. I look at Samie and neither does she. I look around to see my mom but she is being held by Dante and I try to see Mykel but have no luck.

All the other people here also shift into their respected wolves, I hug myself as I hold on my tears, I have no wolf. “It’s okay Sue mom did say this might happen, don’t feel bad”, I nod at Sam so I don’t feel even more stupid.

I stay still but then other wolves come around snickering and pushing me till I fall on the ground. Really? Pushing a wolfless she wolf after one's first shift? I broke crying on the floor, nobody, not a single person cares that I have no wolf.

I cry hard and Kia places herself to protect me seeing that the others want to make fun of me. I then see Callum jog to Kia, “Hey shhh easy Susie won’t get hurt sweetheart I promise, I knew you were my mate.” he tells Kia who purrs at his sweet words.

I clean my tears from having them ruin my makeup, I doubt I did a good job at that, “congratulations to you Kia and Callum, you two make a happy couple.” I say with envy and cold words still on the floor when Samie comes near me.

“Hey you don’t get to act so bi**** with us, wolves” those words hurt more then I wanted to admit. It was just the Beta but that hurt so much, I am a Gamma and Luna’s daughter with no wolf.

I see a pair of shoes walk towards me and I can see they belong to none other then Alpha Jaime, please no more. I get it I am a nobody, I have no right to be here just make it quick, make it quick Alpha. I repeat to myself.

My mother walks up to me with Alpha Dante, “Sue are you okay?” my mom asks as if she doesn’t know how hurt I am that everyone but me got their wolves, I can’t hide my pain and start to cry all over again, my mom hugs me as I keep crying.

“Where is Mykel?” I ask her now, slowly giving up on the idea that I am going to be happy with my new best friend. “I’m not sure we haven’t seen him since the rays of the moon came out and Kia shifted first then anyone.” awesome, so everyone’s attention was towards me either way.

He didn’t leave me did he? My eyes start to get a fresh pair of tears as it hits the idea that can only fit my pathetic moment right now, I have no wolf, my boyfriend left me and now I have to be rejected as an outsider member for not having a wolf, please just end me now.

Alpha Dante comes near us and I am a bit scared as to what is going on. I look at my hands covered in my dark makeup, I try to clean my hands in something and Alpha Dante gives me his front pocket handkerchief, I use it and keep it.

“Well I will start the initiations first and then when Miss Drama Queen is over and done we will follow as the pack laws are well known to follow.” he says in a really annoyed voice, greate I have him on my case already.

“Callum, congratulations on finding your mate, Kilala Emerys, are you ready?” the Alpha asks her, she nods with her ears down, she shifts back to finalize her initiation, Callum gives her his jacket as soon as she shifts. I stand to watch as my friend gets to have everything I won’t be getting, I don’t hate her but it hurts me to know I won’t be a part of this.

“I, Alpha Jaime Larson of the Small Moon Pack, welcome you Kilala Emerys as my Betas mate.” He slices his hand with a silver and gold knife, it looks Victorian and then he slices her hand, shaking their hands.

I feel a power course from Alpha Jaime to Kia, she looks more fit, stronger even. She looks at Callum who is smiling like a fool in love and she has a new aura around her, I can feel her strength from my standing.

He goes a bit back and waits for the rest of the wolves to be welcomed and initiated, Kia and Callum leave to head inside. I stand there looking at their direction, knowing I will never have that.

Crying my eyes out gave me puffy red eyes, still looking at the direction Kia and Callum went, Mykel didn’t even say he wanted to end things with me, he just dropped out and left. I hear Alpha Dante clearing his throat, I move my eyes to him as Jaime also walks to us, it feels like only a minute passed when I look at my clock it says 2am, greate.

“Seeing as you will be put to outcast but staying as part of the pack, would you rather come live with us?” He asks in a really gentle voice and for a split second I felt I was important to someone but he is just my step dad. What the hell does he know about how I feel.

“Sue my little baby girl, I am here you know I will never leave you hunny.” My mom tells me to soothe my hand. I hate being pitied because my dad, in this I know I'm like my dad, he doesn’t say anything but he also doesn't make it worse, when I am sad and stuff like that I hold it. I don’t like showing others they got me but this one is very hard to hold.

I look at my dad with broken eyes, “If you want to go, you can Sue, I will be here if you ever need me.” I lick my lips and taste the salt of my tears, nobody gives me a moment to answer as Alpha Jaime arrives with his own answer.

“Since you have chosen to accept being part of The Green Pack of Alpha Dante then I will transfer you to him. Easier for me and a much calmer mind that my pack won’t have a weakness like you.” He says in front of my parents and everyone in my pack house.

I have no words of my own from how much I regret having to stand here alone. I snap, “Fine, Alpha Dante I accept to move to your pack.” As soon as my words left me the last one hit my head and my heart heavy enough to make me hold on to my mom a bit tighter.

“I Alpha Jaime Larson, Reject you Susie Brown as my Mate and Luna of the Small Moon Pack.” I felt my heart being shot and plunged into pure cruel pain, Jaime was my mate… my mate?

A cloud of green dust covers Alpha Dante, my mom, myself and then I see it to be Samie, all of this while my heart is slowly becoming ashes from my humiliating rejection.

Chapter 6

Jaime POV

“Callum!” I yell for his attention after giving him a punch on his face. Training to stay in the game and on top of that, distracting myself as usual. I am so tired of having to do anything just to get that person out of my head.

‘If you would have waited on her, we would have been in a better state.’ Kai tells me with a growl at the end, as he moves to the back of my mind. I have been in celibacy for almost 3 years, that is except 2 months ago. It’s only 8pm in the night in our third training of the week.

‘Even if it’s true, we are better off with our chosen Luna, no point in being ashamed of having a good Luna.” I tell my wolf, surprised he answers, as I duck a kick and keep my defenses up. ‘It is wrong, she not mate.’ Are the only growling words he gives me.

I hold on to Callums leg and twist it to the side. I hit one head with another of two other warrior’s, I hate my wolf when he acts like that. We have a strong Luna, she has even made changes that made our ways of living so much stronger and more complete.

He should be proud of her and move on like me, but no. He is stuck on his old mate. The one who was pampered like a poodle, the one who acted like she owned everyone and handled it all like a- a. ‘Goddess? A Queen? Say it Jaime, you love her too.’ Kai says.

“Ou for the love of it all Kai, stop nagging at me over a stupid poodle!” I yell out as I hit the shoulder of one warrior with my fist, hearing its shoulder pop, “It's been 3 years for crying out loud! Grow up!” he growls in response, I need him but he clearly gives no importance to me.

“Kai still giving you a hard time?” Says Callum with a snicker on his face, I catch up my breath from my internal fight. “Daddy!” yells Cree, Callum’s 3 year old son, after he marked and mated Kilala she got pregnant and had Cree. Now they are waiting on another baby, a girl. He hugs Callums leg and smiles with giggles.

He picks his son up to hold on his hip, us being in speedo’s makes us look like men from those types of calendars. We prefer this over other types of clothes this way less clothes are shredded and humans never get their curiosity towards us, accidents can and have happened, specially towards hunters.

I get to the center where everyone else is fighting, I place a small green back on a warriors speedo, these have pockets that help us train. “Rundown!” The warriors take off trying to find who is the spy, the one with the green bag. I was about to run after them till I see the shoulders of Mykel leaning on the door with both his arms and legs cross.

“Callum, supervise for now. Seems our neighbor has felt like visiting”. I take my towel and get up the stairs. “Yes Alpha.” He takes off and his son run’s to the far side where his mom is, I stand in front of Mykel after cleaning up the sweat from my face I extend my hand at him.

“Seems your training is as harsh as ever.” He reply’s dryly. “We can’t all depend on grandpa for training.” I smirk at his annoyed face, he is almost always here and rarely in my pack house, always over seeing the building.

I should feel threatened but to be honest I have been searching in his own pack, he is very proud of how he guards his pack but I have send rogues to attack his pack and not one came back. So to be on fair grounds, I called the elders on these suspicions, he hated that.

Two years ago we had a conflict that almost got us in a war but we dropped it because he agreed in helping my pack after dating my mate for a year, ‘that is on you, you allowed him to date mate’ Kai throws at me, like I was already expecting that.

The dog has got one big fight against anything I do, but enough of that I need to see what he wants. Haven’t seen him for a year and 2 months. We enter the pack house, passing the rooms to get to my office, as soon as we arrive at my desk he starts.

“We need to make preparations to test the builded wall.” He says in a calm voice, jokes on him that I already did but I will surprise him with something else. “I agree.” I hit the intercom to the direct line to the elders.

“Goodnight Elder Howl, it has been a while. How have you been?’, I ask with a little relief, Mykel looks pale, good. I don’t know how he actually believes I am the Alpha to have him take me for a fool. He is up to something and I am not going to be used.

‘Well it’s been a stressful week for my family with the surprise of the orphan boy within the island and the other two young boys who lost their own homes.” I can hear his stress and anxiety about that, three children within a week to take responsibility for.

“If anything you or the council is in need of please inform me, I am sorry for interrupting you in these difficult times”. I say sincerely, any job of an Alpha is a hard one to take, we take our jobs as if it’s our own life.

“I was hoping to ask to be helped but if it is too much, would you kindly direct me to another elder that is not my uncle.” I ask firmly but respectfully, it is disrespectful for any Alpha to overuse power especially to the pack, my uncle is the first elder of the organization.

“It would be best to redirect you, Alpha Jaime, allow me to contact Pezi Miller, may I ask to what the call is for?’. He asks me with a curios but tired sigh and there is where I can see Mykel seething.

“I need a group of trackers to make sure the wall Alpha Mykel builded is safe for my pack, I have no intention of doing anything out of hate but my pack deserves to be safe just as his own, if not more.” I state with a firm voice in my petition. He takes a small pause and then hit the speaker button, I know because I heard another person breathing near him.

`` What do you say to that Pezi?”. He says with a small amusement to his tone, I sit on my chair that’s nice and cold, Mykel has his now fingers in his pants, having a death stare to my telephone as he too takes a seat.

‘Seems like a good idea, I will be there tomorrow morning to have the full details of it all, please invite Alpha Mykel over.” I smile at this choice of words, I see his face not moved at all making me curious on his answer.

“Hello Elder Pezi, it’s Mykel.” His answer makes the two elders mumble on the other side, clearly taken back by the sudden greetings, I have my hand on my cheek as the other is near the phone.

‘Hello Alpha Mykel, I trust you heard what is needed from this conversation?”. The look Mykel gave me said he took the shot and is skipping like a happy little girl all over my patio.

“Crystal clear Elder Pezi and Elder Howl”. He says holding back his growl, so close at giving me the idea that he is super happy to be in this. He presses between his bridge between his eyes in frustration, “We will see each other tomorrow then. Goodnight Alphas.” They hang up from their end.

Chapter 7

Jaime POV

“Having a hard time there?” That comment snapped Mykel out of his thoughts, I press the button next to my calls and asked for an omega team to prepare two bedrooms one for Elder Pezi and the other for Mykel, ones I was assured it was taken cared of I stepped out of my chair. I walked out to the side where he was still sitting, his hand on mouth, eyes fixed on my phone and his other hand in his pocket.

“ Mykel, I am a good actor and even better Alpha, don’t worry too much about me and go get ready for your interview, see you tomorrow morning Alpha” I get off the side of the desk I was leaning on.

He says nothing, just gets up and walks out with a pace, I walk up to my house, I had the construction team of my pack do this, I have a very small pack but they are everything to me. I’m aiming to building up my pack, I need a good alliance but my human ambitions really did a number in that.

‘We can get mate, she can help us.’ Kai tells me knowing well I do not approve.

I open the door to my house after the hand print allows my entry, the house is all windows with the front having a dark gray color to help hold certain windows, my house is in a cave literally, the outs of it looks like a house stuck in the cave.

Ones in, there’s a stair case going downstairs where the pool, the guests with gaming area is and another one going upstairs where my bedroom with my office is, there’s extra two rooms for my future pups, my mates office as well as a mini kitchen, then there’s a direct line that heads to the main kitchen and living room, where there’s a fireplace out of stones.

The bottom bottom holds all my cars, the back is a clear beautiful view of the back forest, there’s a clearing then the entrance to the woods. My home is controlled by me, I can give access to others to enter or not, not even my current mate has access to the house.

Speaking of, where could she be. I go up to our room and as I open the door I see her sleeping in the bed, she is currently 2 months pregnant and I can’t wait to have my pup here.

‘She is not mate, that pup, I’m not sure.’ Kai rehearses his lines over and over again, never giving up on the idea that our chosen mate tricked him into going all the way with her.

‘At least we are having our pup you can’t deny me that old timer.’ I tell him as I pick some clothes to go to bed, I take a good time taking the dirt and sweat off my body, been training every week and I am so glad it’s Friday.

*BOOM*

The house starts to shake, I hold on to the tiles but slip and fall in the shower. ‘Callum! What is happening?!’ I mind link my Beta.

My chain of command is very tight and I don’t allow outsiders to talk to us like other Alphas do, I’m very protective of my companions.

‘The wall, it’s bombed it’s falling apart and Alpha, Rogues are heading this way! We are outnumbered! What do we do!?’ I can hear his panic and I can feel my own rising.

‘Get everyone to the bunkers, we need our warriors to defend the week, all omegas who don’t know how to fight, elders, children, pregnant women and those who are handicapped go in the bunkers, any she wolf that knows how to fight and any wolf as well goes to help our warriors, have the hospital ready for an attack.’ I mind link my beta.

‘On it!’ He cuts off the mind link and another shake goes in my house, I mind link my Gamma, he is the one who has the contacts of other packs who are our alliances.

‘Xandros, report to me this instant!’ I finish bathing and go out of the bathroom, I open the door and my mate is awake but puking in the small trash can, I go to hold her and rub circles on her back, I need to go and help my pack.

‘Yes Alpha? I’m contacting our neighbors for their support, so far we have the Paw Pack who will be here in 4 hours, the Silver Moon Pack in 6 hours along with the Red Moon, Moonstone and The Green Pack.’ Did my Gamma just said Green Pack?

I kiss my mates forehead and go to get my phone that’s in the bathroom when I feel something sharp from the back of my head, the last thing I saw was the bottles flying out, the cabinets opened up and stuff getting smashed on the floor.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

I try opening my eyes but close them instantly, the bright light of the room is piercing and it catches me off guard. My head hurts, as if someone hit me with a bat. I try again to open my eyes but I give up. Rather take my chances and rest.

‘Kai? Are you there? Talk to me old boy?’ I get no responses. I need to obtain my strength, my body doesn’t hurt just my ungrateful head. I need to stay sane. Whatever is going on might have to be put on hold, I close my eyes and turn to sleep after hearing the beeping my head was starting to hurt even more then it was.

My house was under lockdown and I remember that I had nobody in the house, my mate was sleeping then she was picking in the trash, what could have happened that I am now in this situation.

“Relax buddy, I have the pack secure with the help of the Elders, the other Alphas are getting here and Mykel is in the dungeons cellar till this mess is over, rest.” I hear Callum tell me and with that I rest, but what if my mate.

I Love You... Or You?
