Forbidden Mate

The Humor in Destiny

Chapter 2

Humor in destiny

I stare up at the the large black wolf that has me pinned down on my back. I search around for Ben, but he is nowhere in sight. I want to scream, but my mouth can’t seem to move. I feel terrified and alured by the man standing over me. Then it hit me. This is Alpha Jacob of the Red Moon pack. I feel a lump in my throat rising and quickly push it down to keep from showing ay fear.

“Who are you?”

I flinch at his tone and try to scramble up the words.

“I am Alaina Silver of the Blue Moon pack”

His demeanor instantly changed. He seemed as if he was was going through something similar to myself. We are from rival packs forbidden to be together and we have just found out the Moon Goddess has mated us together. I think of all of the other wolves she could have paired me with. This is my demise I think. He won’t have a second thought he will rid of me now in hopes to find another mate I am sure of it.

Jacob POV

As I stand over the small white wolf looking into her glowing green eyes I can’t help but breathe her scent deeply. It has the most alluring fragrance. I am trying to uncloud my mind, but my wolf Acheilles is howling

“Mate! Mate! Jacob it’s really her!”

I have waited for this moment my whole life I have to find out who this beautiful delicate wolf is.

“Who are you”

I ask still on alert as I know alpha David has doubled down on patrol on the pack lines. She looks so afraid I am not trying to scare her, but the patrol groups could be coming at any second.

“I am Alaina Silver from the Blue Moon pack”

I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I waited anxiously all this time to find out my mate belongs to the biggest rival of my pack. What a Joke. The Moon Godess has some sense of humor to do something like this. I could never bring her home I think to myself. I think I should just kill her here now and move along, but Acheilles won’t have it. He is howling with excitement begging me to mark her. I have never been so conflicted in my life. I want to touch her and make her mine and at the same time I want to kill her. I can see in her eyes she is having the same dilemma. Thankfully I am the one in control right now she doesn’t seem to be having such a hard time making up her mind. Just as I finished that thought I could hear someone coming from the distance. I make a split decision and grab her and take off retreating back into the woods towards my pack house.

Alainas POV

I could hear Ben coming in the distance He was calling out to me via mindlink.

Alaina where are you?

Ben help Alpha Jacob of the Red Moon pack Has me.

Look around you try to tell me how to get to you.

I think the alpha knew what was happening, because no sooner did Ben say that that he scooped me up and tore off through the woods. I thrashed and tried to shout. Still trying to battle the mate bond internally. I had never smelled anything so delicious in my life. It was putting me almost into a trans. I knew I had to get away, but how. After a few minutes of fighting it he looks down at me.

“Keep squirming and it will make my decision a lot easier” he seethed

In that moment I decided I would just try to keep calm. Ben would find me…right? Eventually we reached what looked to be their pack house.

“Michael get everyone out of the main area of the packhouse now”

I assume this is his Omega. The tall dark headed man quickly turned no questions asked and quickly made sure no one was in the pack house. Alpha jacob quickly tore through the house and up the stairs. We reached a door at the end of one of the hallways and he swings the door open. He tosses me in the middle of the floor and I groan at the impact. I can see him flinch at my pain but his stare remains burning through me. I look up at him unsure of what to say or even where I really am. My eyes quickly travel the room trying to find a way out. It was a cozy room. It had a large wooden frame bed in the middle of the back wall with beautiful hardwoods. What appeared to be a bathroom attached to the side of the room on one end and what I assume to be the closet on the other. My eyes quickly travel back to him. He steps toward me in which i slide backwards against the floor with my hands until I feel my back make contact with the bed. He towers over the top of me his infuriated gaze only seeming to worsen.

“What kind of sick joke is this” he spat

“I am just as upset as you”

I said a little more hastily than I would have liked, but stuck to my tone and pursed out my lips. His lips curled at my tone and his hands balled into a fist. With that he turned and rushed out of the room with the slam of the door. I hear the clicking of a lock directly after. I begin to sob. I was locked in a bedroom of the rival packhouse with no way out. I wallowed in my self pity for a while and eventually pulled myself together and managed to pull myself off of the floor. I pace around the room and confirm my suspicions about the closet. I walk in to the oversized closet filled with all sorts of outfits. I run my hands across it all as I make my way towards the back and stop on the soft fabric of a t-shirt. I pull it out off of the hanger and hold it out for a better look. I turn and make my way out of the closet with the t-shirt in hand and cut off the light and shut the door. I made my way across and decided to take a shower. I stepped into the bathroom and quickly locked the door. It was a gorgeous bathroom. A glassdoor floor shower with porcelain tiles on the wall and a clawfoot tub directly beside it. There was a double sink vanity at the front of the bathroom and a separate door for the toilet. I walk infront of the mirror and look at the mess that had become of Marissa’s once stunning make-up and hair. Between my breakdown over Ben and everything that has transpired in the last hour and a half I looked a wreck. I cut the shower on and slip off my shorts and undergarments and pull off my tank top. I step into the cool shower. The water felt amazing on my skin and on my puffy eyes. I cup my hands and splash the water over my face and begin to wash. Once I was finished I stepped out and grabbed one of the softest towels I had ever felt in my life off of the shelf between the shower and the bathtub and quickly dried off. I wrapped the towel around my my body and stepped infront of the mirror to try and comb my hair out with my fingers. I slipped the t-shirt on and put my shorts back on and stepped out of the bathroom placing my dirty tank top on the table beside the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed and everything really started to sink in. I could feel the tears rising up again and my cheeks were flaming hot.

‘Absolutely not Alaina you have cried enough for one day’ I think to myself I take a deep breath and start to get angry. How dare he drag me off here without letting me get any kind of say so. Who does he think he is. He is not the alpha of my pack so he has no control over who I am or what I do. I stop that thought and Jasmine pops in. ‘He is our mate Alaina we must listen.’ I know Jasmine is longing for her mate I can feel it in my chest. I can still smell him from somewhere in the pack house. Suddenly I hear the door unlatch and the lump in my throat is back.
