The Broken Werewolves: The Forbidden Law

Chapter 3

Mates

When I reach the Pack House, everyone is busy doing their antics. Even the Great Alpha himself. I'm guessing there's another letter has arrived. Lately, the Pack has been receiving full of threats letters and it's been stressing the Great Alpha Cloud. Just by looking at his expression right now, I know that he's in a deep thought. His eyes meet mine and I feel my breath hitch. His eyes are so beautiful and it makes me want to kneel down and worship him, but I'm not going to do that. That would be weird.

"What the f**k are you looking at?" Alpha Cloud bellows and I bow my head down in shame. Even Furion whimpers at the tone of his voice. His brown eyes are like piercing my inner soul and I can't move my feet at all. It's like my feet are glued on the floor. "Get out of my sight, I don't want you in my sight. If I ever see you this day, I'm going to f*****g rip your throat out." His voice holds malice and knowing him, he'd really do it to me, so I make my way towards my room, to the basement that has been so old, with full of spider webs and garbages.

When I reach my room, I immediately jump into the bed and start to cry. Everyday, I'm living hell. Everyday, I'm getting hurt. What Furion said to me, that I needed to stand up for myself, I know he's right, but how can I stand up for myself, knowing the Great Alpha can kill me in just a second? Even Furion is not talking to me right now and I think that he has hidden himself out of fear. I can't really blame him though. The Great Alpha is so scary. But at the same time, he looks really cute and handsome. Today, he's wearing a grey beanie and a great tank top, his necklace is dangling gorgeously around his neck, and to top it all, he's wearing a faded dark jeans and everything about him looks perfect.

That's what I do all day, cry my eyes out inside my room. My stomach is grumbling, demanding food and I'm not allowed food, not without the Great Alpha's permission and considering that he's in a bad mood right now, I don't want to die yet. I look outside through the window and see that it's already night, the moon is shining bright and glorious and it's in full moon. Full moon has an effect on werewolves, it makes us calm and right now, I'm thankful of the moon. Deciding to ignore my stomach's grumbles, I decide to roam around the room. This room was onced sacred, they said, and I wonder why they let me use this room. I mean, this was once a sacred place, why did they put a lot of trash in here? Wiping my strained-tears cheeks, my eyes catch something interesting; a treasure box. It looks like it's very important and I walk over in front of the box and surprised to find it unlock. Once I open the box, there are a lot of thick, old books, its rim already decaying from the oldness. I'm bored right now, so this book might help me some day. I randomly open a page and my eyes widen in realization.

The book I'm reading right now is the Old Tales and Laws. They say that this book is forbidden to be read. Maybe that's why it was thrown away here. I immediately read the Old Laws and something catches my attention.

Soul Conversion: One of the old Tales from our ancestors. Soul Conversion means conveting yourself, a werewolf, into a normal human. The wolf will be gone inside you and will fade away. Some say that werewolves who tried to do a Soul Conversion has died, failing to do the conversion. But some say that some have successfully converted themselves.

Before the Soul Conversion, a chant must be said first. "Grant my wish oh Eternal and oh powerful God," and after that, "Oh mighty Goddess, please guide my soul and I may find peace."

A place should be peaceful in order to communicate with the God and Goddess, and once they heard your wish, they'll speak up into your mind and ask you a couple of questions and once satisfied, they'll grant your wish of being a human. And once the wish has been granted, you will be forever human, with no wolf, with no wolf instincts, just plain Human.

That's the most ridiculous tale I've ever read. Soul Conversion? What the hell? I can't imagine life without Furion. I mean, he's the only family I have left and if I really did this conversation and turned human, what would happen next to me? I don't like this Soul Conversion thing. It makes me sick. Throwing the book somewhere, I decide I should call this a night. Even though I haven't eaten yet, I'll force myself to sleep. Tomorrow will be a same day and a special day. Tomorrow is the Great Alpha's birthday and I'm excited to know who would be his mate.

With that in mind, I throw myself in the bed and snuggle a pillow and shut my eyes tight. The Great Alpha has filled my head and all I see is how great he is. Sleep is the only time I can be peaceful and with the Great Alpha inside my head, it's a bonus. But always, I have nightmares. But this dream, it's rare to have, so might as well savor it while it lasts.

Morning comes and I can hear everybody is already cheering. Today is the day. It's the Great Alpha Cloud's birthday. He's turning 18 years old and he'd get a chance to meet his mate. Furion being excited, I immediately roll off my bed and decide I should take a shower. I'm not really late. The fact that it's just 7am in the morning, and it's Sunday, nope, I'm not really late. Usually, the people here wake up at 9 in the morning on weekends. The birds are chirping happily, as if they're singing a lovely song, which I think they are. I don't know why I'm in such a good mood today. Maybe it's because of the Great Alpha's birthday.

Once inside the shower, I quickly strip off myself and open up the shower and the cold water pours down on me and I yelp. Unlike the others, I don't have a heater and despite the fact that I'm showering every morning with a cold water, I'm not really used to it yet. While I'm showering, a song pops inside my head and I sing it loudly. They won't hear me since the walls of the basement are really thick.

After showering, I decide to wear my favorite attire - a light blue shirt and a beige short. Pants are not really my thing but shorts look good on me. I'm not flattering myself though. Once I'm dressed, I immediately head upstairs and see that the Pack House is in full swing. Everybody has been enjoying, celebrating Alpha Cloud's birthday and here I am, about to join them. Today, I think they are going to leave me alone.

"Good Morning, everyone!" The Great Alpha's father, the current Alpha right now, greets everyone. His name is Sky and the Luna Marie are smiling proudly at everyone. "Today is my son's, the one you call the Great Alpha, birthday and we should celebrate it with happiness. My son's birthday marks the day that he'll find his mate, and I'm hoping that his mate would be beautiful as my wife here." The Luna blushes at her husband's compliment and when Great Alpha Cloud steps up onto the stage, my heart beats faster.

I don't know why I have a sudden feeling like this. All I know right now is I like staring at him. The way he walks, the way his lips pucker, the way he smiles, everything seems noticeable to me. He's really handsome and I can't form any thoughts inside my head. Today, he's wearing a black tank top over a black sweater and I gasp when his eyes meet mine. My whole world stops for awhile as soon as our eyes meet. My heart, it feels like, is about to burst from the excitement and unknown feeling. Blood rushes into my neck, to my cheeks, travelling through my veins.

The people stop from cheering and everybody looks on me but I can't focus on them, now that I have his eyes on me. My wolf Furion is clawing inside me and jumping around and I already know what this means.

"Mate," Alpha Cloud says as he gazes right into my eyes. For a second, I see something flicker in his eyes; admiration and love, but then it fades quickly and has been replaced with disgust and hatred. "I, Cloud Alistair Lyleson - the next Alpha in line of the Blue Sky Pack, reject you, Kieran Lars Lockwood, as my mate."

Then I hear my wolf, Furion, inside me howl in pain and my heart clenches at his words. I whimper and kneel down, massaing my chest where my heart is, hoping the pain would go away. Tears begin to slip out of my eyes and I can't do nothing to stop them. Patheti, weakling me.

It's one of the many reasons why Alpha Cloud, my mate, rejected me as his mate. I begin to cry, as well as Furion, and no one's helping us. From the looks of the people, I see disgusted faces looking down on me.

Looking up at the Great Alpha, I open my mouth and form coherent thoughts and then say it to him, the words he's been wanting to hear ever since he said I was his mate. "I, Kieran Lars Lockwood, a member of the Blue Sky Pack, accept the rejection of my mate, the next Alpha in line of the Blue Sky Pack, Cloud Alistair Lyleson."

Then I stand up and run away, like I always do. But this time, with a broken heart, not with a fractured bones and ribs.
