Blood Moon Mate

Blood Red

Chapter 3 ~ Blood Red

Rayne POV

Are you f**king kidding me! I knew she was a freak our whole lives but this, this just takes the damn cake. I have always hated my sister regardless if we were twins. She was always the weaker one between us and she spent most of our childhood being in the pack hospital. That hair of hers, the disgustingly unnatural red hair was all our pack and other packs spoke of when they saw her; "it's the colour of blood" or "she was born into death". To say it pi**ed me off was an understatement with the attention she got and didn't deserve or even know she was getting.

I spent our 19 years as "sisters" and now that we were 19 I could be my own she-wolf and find my mate and get away from this pack and that freak I called; no was forced to call "sister"

My night would prove to be more disastrous as the night continued. Diamond my wolf let me know our mate was close by just two hours into the party. I was beyond excited and followed the scent of pine and almonds through the crowd; much to my disappointment I found "our" mate stuffing his greasy face at the buffet table that Alpha Domino and Luna Megera had the omegas slave over all day. In hopes he wouldn't catch my scent I tried to walk away but to no luck; he spun around and said "strawberry shortcake" followed by "mate"!

I was horrified by the food coming out of his mouth as he said those words. The introduced himself as the son of the  Alpha of the Blue Rivers pack. F**k! I was about to reject him when Alpha Domino mind-linked.

Autumn POV

"Why are they staring at us Harvest?"

I was full on panicking when I saw all the stares from the pack and the glare in my sisters eyes. But before she could answer me I ran away, fast and into the woods. When we finally stopped by the pond every wolf swam at in the summer time; I finally let Harvest explain what was going on. "Look into the water Autumn" was all she said and so I did.

I was stunned into shock seeing the blood red fur and they amethyst eyes staring back at me. Harvest please I'm begging you what is going on, why are you we this colour? Why are our eyes practically glowing?

Harvest POV

Please calm down Autumn, I will try my best to tell you what I know from the Moon Goddess when she gave you me. You and I are what is known at the "Blood Harvest Moon Wolf". Your mother died giving birth to your sister and was dead when you took your first breath; she was a pure blood wolf descendant of the Great Luna Warrior Wolf.

Autumn seemed horrified learning about her mother and where she came from and started to cry. "Were you my mother's wolf?" she asked. No I told her with pain in my heart. The reason we are the colour of blood is because you were born from the dead and during the Blood Harvest Moon. But please do not weep I know that you are stronger than anyone knows and we have special, magickal abilities. Most of which you won't discover until we are fully mated.

Autumn POV

Harvest's words cut me deeply and she could feel it. But now what do I do? Will I be hunted and killed? Why does a mate matter so much? I never wanted one was all I could think and Harvest whimpered at my thoughts.

CRACK... SNAP....

F**k what was that? Harvest how do I turn human form again? "Imagine yourself as you were before you shifted". I did as she said and although I was n**ed I hid in a bush and watched and listened for who or what was following me.

"AUTUMN WHERE ARE YOU! PLEASE MATE IT'S ME! AUTUMN I SAW YOU COME THIS WAY!"

Oh for Moon Goddess sake it's Ragnar! "That's a viking name" Harvest purred. Shut up Harvest I spat before I mind blocked her.

I'm over here and please stop calling me "mate". Are you going to kill me because I'm a freak? Or to reject me for being a freak?

He looked so sad when I asked him these questions, but he smiled and replied "No I am here to be by your side and to protect you and to love you. The Moon Goddess made us for each other and I will not leave without you".

But why I'm a freak of nature and just learned I'm a Blood Harvest Moon wolf born during the Blood Harvest Moon and my mother, my birth mother was dead when I was born and my birth father abandoned me.

Ragnar POV

She was so beautiful in the moonlight and I handed her some clothes so she could get out of the bush she was hiding in. When she emerged I couldn't help but notice her pale radiant skin, her small frail body and her red hair. But her eyes had not turned back to the blue I first seen at the party, they were still the colour of amethyst stones. My breath was taken by her beauty and my wolf Night agreed.

I wanted to cry with the pain I could feel from our mate connection and hold her. When she asked me all those horrible things and confessed what her wolf Harvest told her I wanted so much more to take her away to protect her and love her. But something told me it wouldn't be that simple and I was ready for the war ahead to keep my silent promise I already made to myself and my wolf.

I will admit her wolf's name just seemed to suit and the Moon Goddess paired them well together.

Can we go back now my beauty? Everyone is worried about you and Alpha Domino sent me alone to get you when I told him you were my mate and future Luna of my pack.

"WHAT! Luna, no way! I'm not suited to to be anyone's mate, let alone a Luna." Autumn expressed to me.

I took her hand and felt little shocks and tingling from her touch and I wanted this to last forever. I could tell Autumn could feel the connection as well when she intertwined her fingers with mine.
