George P.O.V
My wolf has been restless since this morning and it was getting on my nerves even Vanessa couldn't calm him down I couldn't concentrate on the training and my eyes kept wandering to the wench's room window annoyed I took off running to the woods and help with securing the perimeter I hadn't seen her around nor Diego I did see the Alpha who looked different from usual his eyes were no longer held worry or sadness and had a smile plastered on his face I figured he would be worry like he always is whenever she fainted but it was different when he talked to my dad they both smiled and looked up to her room I tried to stay away from that damn house as much as I could but it seemed impossible it was pulling me in and decided to give up when it had gotten dark making my way to packhouse the most delicious scent of cinnamon hit my nose sending my heart beating out of its chest eagerly I followed the scent and saw her a silhouette walking towards me. The moment her face was clear we were left in shock as our eyes locked.
"Mate!" we both said
"You" his words were filled with pure vile hatred "can't possibly be my mate!" I was disgusted and livid that my mate was none other than the Alpha's daughter Asu!
She growled at me as a warning I forced myself not to bow, how can she growled at me when she has no damn wolf!
" reject her! I do not wish for a weak mate!" Leo growled" she doesn't have a wolf I can't sense it how can she even tell we are mates! fight this damn pull!"
"don't you think I know that" I spat back at him
"Dear goddess" I spoke her name with bitterness "why pair me with this stupid useless b***h!" I growled louder " why you! you're not only useless but an ugly wench you don't expect me to want to claim you as my mate do you?" I spoke with vile words but the pull of this damn mate bond was harder to control than what I imagine. I wanted her to feel this agony I was feeling.
"you damn omega, I am going to be Beta of this pack! I don't give two f***s if you are the daughter of the alpha and sister of our future alpha you can go to hell for all I care even kill yourself if you wish to I will not be your mate not in this life not in the next life and not ever!" I was livid " I am not going to have an omega as my mate I deserve better not you!"
I saw her begin to shake out good my words were making effect good. Yet the thought of causing my mate pain was creeping in the back of my mind, quickly shaking it away I looked at her
"I, George Carrillo, the future beta of the shadow pack, reject you, Asu Fabela, as my mate and future partner" I didn't bother to fix my tone I was disgusted and angry.
I waited anxiously wanting to see her fall in pain from the rejection, but what I saw was different she smiled and sighed almost happy " I, Asu Fabela, daughter of Alpha Mathew Fabela of the shadow pack accept your rejection"
the moment those words left her beautiful mouth agonizing pain knocked me off my feet I touched the side where my heart was clenching it from the pain of the rejection and Leo was whimpering from the pain as well he was regretting it and so was I. I struggled to even look up at her how was she even able to stand there with no feeling of pain while I was agonizing in it. I looked up just in time to see a flash of violet light coming from her eyes as she turned away I couldn't hold in any longer and let out a loud groan as I dug my claws into the soil before everything went dark.
I was roaming in the dark for what felt like years until I saw Leo who was whimpering in pain "Leo" I called out
using all his strength he looked at me " My other half" he said weakly " she left I saw her"
" what do you mean you saw her?" I sat beside him.
" I saw for a brief moment paw's retreating " his massive head made a THUD sound when it hit the ground
" paws?" wasn't she wolfless I gazed at the darkness before us, well it doesn't matter now, I looked at Leo he was in bad shape and so was I we both lost our mates our destined ones. we were broken and empty. I had taken lightly the mate bond my arrogance my damn stupid pride has led me to this.
" We are both are at fault," he said bitterly and pushed me aside
"ASU!" I yelled as I sat up quickly unaware of my surroundings until I looked around the bright white room and a loud beeping sound of a monitor that reassured me I was alive. I looked around feeling lifeless and empty the pain hadn't subsided it was breaking me apart I needed my mate I NEED Asu here by my side. the door open and saw my parents' coming in I saw the disappointment in their eyes and the hurt I had caused in them they respected the mate bond something I had taken too lightly.
"George sit down" Mom came forward " you shouldn't be up the pain hasn't subsided"
"How long was I out for?" I shook her off and she stopped in her tracks concern flashed on her face "HOW LONG!?"
"GEORGE!" dad growled, " watch that damn mouth son, respect your mother, at least that much you should!"
I flinched at his words and Leo whimpered, I wanted to retaliate but he was right it wasn't my mother's fault I was in this mess "I NEED to see Asu, I need to know how long was I out for and why she isn't here"
" You have no right to know why she isn't here " dad began and I saw how he was forcing himself to calm down " you been out for a night and a whole day is nighttime now about to be 12" he leaned in the wall and saw his watch
I had lost so much time a whole day and night I need to get to Asu fast I need to tell her it was all a mistake " Call Asu she needs to be here"
"I am sorry son but we can't do that" mom said pity and another emotion played in her face.
"well, why not? she is my mate!" I yelled
" Let me remind you as it seems you have forgotten" mom was furious " she is a girl YOU rejected my dear son, so you have no right to call her your mate any longer nor do you have any right to demand her to come do you understand?! you are in some deep s**t right now so goddess help me before I beat some sense into you like I should have done a very LONG time ago."
" mistake is when ordering coffee instead of tea, what you did was uncalled for, stupid, and dumb you took for granted something that we consider sacred even after we both warn you!" mom was bright red," I warned you many times that you will regret it but you never listen you brushed it off. If all this time you had thought with your brain instead of your damn-
"Honey!" dad interrupted her and shook his head coming to her I was left speechless boiling mad and hurt
"your mother is right, you have done enough damage for today go back to rest we will stay here" Dad spoke not looking at me in the eye
I huffed angrily and began to yank the needles in me "If you won't help me then I will do it myself I made a huge mistake I get it I do not need to be reminded of it but I will make it right!"
the door slammed open knocking a frame and a mirror off the wall and shattering it into pieces dad took a protective stance between him and mom while I faced a very pissed-off Diego. he knew.
he yanked me violently from the collar of my shirt his aura was intimidating that it made me submit to him. s**t.
"Diego!" my younger brother's voice yelled in alarm from behind him,
" Why you son of flame!" he roared making all of us shiver and slightly bow " if I had no respect for your parents' I swear I would have already kicked your ass you FUCKER! how f*****g dare you do that to my baby sister you damn mutt!" he pushed me back slamming my back against the wall making a hole in it I hissed from the impact that took the air out of me.
he let go and coughed I look at him "Look" I whizzed out "I know I messed up don't you think I know that! but this concerns only your sister and me!" I warned him,
" You f*****g asshole mess up?? MESS UP?!" his face turned red " you will have been long gone by now if she hadn't intervened!"
I look back at him with hope " she- she did?!"
His glared pierced right through me " don't you f*****g dare go near her ever again, do you hear me George" he threatened with this alpha voice
I couldn't and I wouldn't agree to this I didn't want to but his voice commanded it from me " let me see her!" I struggled to get out
"GEORGE STAY DOWN!" my brother warned me I ignored him and proceeded until Alpha Mathew was there standing in the doorway I was ashamed and couldn't even look him in the eye.
"Alpha" my mom pleaded
I held back a growled I didn't want her to plead but she was right I had done enough damage.
" Do not worry Emma I will not harm your son" he said but his eyes said otherwise " is not any of your faults so do not feel ashamed to look me in the eye"
My dad and mom seemed to have relaxed.
" I came here to warn your son" he spoke menacing "You are never to go near my pup," his eyes shifted and I knew his wolf was on the surface "Do you understand me?"
" Alpha" I tried to fight his dominance his wolf was protective of his kids and what I have done to one of them was unforgivable " I-I can't do that she is my mate-
" Really?! as far I know you rejected your mate!" Diego yelled, " so tell me how is she your mate my dear friend?"
"Diego," Alpha Mathew said warning him his eyes back to normal " if you weren't his son I would have already... ENOUGH OF THIS!"
we all lowered our heads all except Diego who came to stand next to his dad his arms crossed against his chest and his back facing me. I had lost my friend.
" I am sorry alpha I didn't raise my son properly I am ashamed of the pain he caused please forgive me," My dad said and came forward to stand next to me
"We are truly sorry about this outcome," My mom said coming next to dad without glancing at me " we will make sure he stays away"
"I am sorry Alpha what my older brother has done" Will spoke as he came forward and step in front of me shielding me " I will atone for his mistake"
I shot a glare at my mother and she didn't even bother to look she was angry both were and I knew I deserve it I felt bitter and like a loser been protected like this by my own little brother when it should be in reverse but still, nothing brought me more pain than rejecting my mate.
I pushed my way out I needed to fix things I needed to talk to her and explain all of this tell her it was all a mistake it was due to my pride my arrogance I will beg her to forgive me I will tell her that I needed her that she is my life and reason for breathing that she was my everything even if I had to beg for all eternity I needed her back.
"Don't bother" Diego walked past me grabbing my shoulder tightly as he could digging his claws deep into my skin.
"Ugh" I hissed
he let go " you won't find her, she is gone, "
I looked at him horror-struck No! my body went cold did she die No! I couldn't believe it he must be faking it he is just saying it to hurt me as punishment for hurting his sister yeah that's it. I waited for him to say it wasn't true but nothing came out I yanked him to face me "you're lying!"
He showed no emotion and pushed me off him " let's go, dad"
I looked back at my dad and he shook his head alpha Mathew didn't even look at me.
"Will" I looked at him and his face showed no emotion and only walked past me " let it go, big brother"
" she left, son" my dad placed his hand on my bleeding shoulder " that night she left the pack"
I felt immense relief for a minute I thought she was dead but that relief only lasted for a mere fraction of a second until his words sank in 'she left the pack' echoed in my head I then remember the bag she was carrying I hadn't paid attention to that until now brushed him off and ran to the packhouse.
"SON!" my mom yelled " DON'T YOU DARE!"
I ignored her warning and let my nose follow her still strong cinnamon trail not bothering to look at the alpha, Diego nor at my own brother as I ran past them I went up to her room and felt the emptiness and coldness the moment I open the door no, no, no, I chanted in my head as I looked through her drawers and closet everything was on boxes while other things were missing her bed was neatly made as if no one had slept on it I slammed her door shut, Leo whimpered I slowly walked to her bed and indulged in her smell the only thing that remained was her scent.
"mate" Leo cried out as he took in her scent mending only for a bit our heart.
"she is gone Leo" for the first time I cried I was haunted by memories of her looking at me for help when the other kids were bullying her all those times I turn a blind eye the disgust I felt for her is now directed at me and the words that I spat at her when I rejected her replayed none stop in my mind her small fragile silhouette fading little by little as she turned away I cried clenching closely one of her pillow's.
"MATE..." I cried out " I am sorry...."
I lost track of time until my mom came in she saw me in a pathetic state curled up into a ball.
" son" her voice was soft and mellow "let's go to your room" she patted my head
I shook my head " No, I will stay here this is the only place that has her scent"
"Son this is not your room, if the alpha finds you here even your father won't be able to stop him, he is furious at the moment" she hesitated " and I am sorry to say this but you have no right to be here"
"I.AM.HER.MATE!" I growled
"No," she said sternly " not anymore now let's go before I drag you out, I do not wish to hurt you more than you already are."
before I could respond I felt a stabbing pain in my heart that made me fall off the bed I clenched my chest the pain was unbearable.
"Geroge?!" mom said frantically
then feeling something snapping inside of me I was left hyperventilating when dad rushed forward but their voices were echoed. All I could think of was Asu, my beautiful mate.

Diego P.O.V
It took all of me not to break every bone in his body I didn't want his parents to see him in that state so I refrain from doing any damage plus Asu didn't wish for any of this the look on his face when I informed him she was gone would've been rewarding but nothing could make me happy not even his damn pain he should've taught about that when he rejected her I bang my hand on the wall causing my handsome damage.
"Diego" dad called out " I do not wish to see my office full of holes"
I was very annoyed at this situation I wanted nothing more than to have him throw out of the pack but that wouldn't be a proper way for me to act
"In a minute " dad sighed interrupting my thought
I glanced at the dark night sky " I wished we were there with her"
I knew what he meant and I also felt the same it would have been her first birthday with us we would have celebrated it the right way making a huge party with the whole pack and even invited other packs to come but the thought of not having that chance made me angrier.
I was lost in my anger when the clock hit 12 we well fell to our knees from the amount of pressure we were feeling in our entire body.
"George?!" we heard Emma yelled frantically
I looked at dad wanting to go and check but our bodies were basically tied down to the floor I wanted to speak but I couldn't make out any words pressure lessen but we didn't have time to relax when a sudden gust of wind blew us to different sides of the wall knocking frames and books down while breaking the table in half and shattering the windows.
"Ugh" we both groaned
" what the" I gasped at the sight of father's tired face beginning to change his dark circles were fading and his hair was turning black once more the shine of his eyes return and his face no longer looks exhausted it was like time had reversed and brought back his youthful look " dad"
"Son?" he questioned his eye wide as he stared at me with awe I glanced at my hands and saw a blue light surround me the gash I made when I punched the wall was healing rapidly.
"She did it" he whispered
" who did what?" I asked him he looked out the now open window, Ah, yes!
" your" he turned to me tears began to roll down his face " sister did it"
we both rejoiced and got up dad pulled me into a crushing hug we roar with laughter both of us were so proud of her it settled in us fear crept up on both of us.
" Diego is time" I have never heard my father speak in the way he spoke to me today but hearing him made me realized how dangerous the situation really is and he was right.
" yes, dad it is, and I am ready" is time for me to take a stand for the safety of the pack and for my future luna and for her.
**************************
Asu P.O.V
" we"
" we"
" Are a special kind of Hybrid" Celene and I voiced together
Although I had more questions than answered I was aware of one thing I looked at Sandra who was kneeling before me.
" You have awakened" she spoke softly " I will introduce myself I am Sandra -
"witch of healing and power control" I chuckled " I am aware of the power you possess"
I rushed to her, helping her up " there is no need for you to kneel to me" I smiled " after all you are my godmother"
Her eyes water and gave me a small warm smile and nod " as you wish my child"
I looked back at the water " I have no control of my powers godmother and that is why we must go"
" yes" her voice was lower than normal she didn't want me to flee "I will help you to control it Asu,"
this power is dangerous if I stay I could bring damage to the pack, I needed to control it, " we have a long road ahead of us"
She giggled " but who knows you might learn quicker than expected and will be able to return"
I glanced at the direction of the packhouse " No" my voice void from emotion her eyes flashed to me with uneasiness
"why? your dad and brother it will drive them mad not seeing you!" she exclaimed
Shaking my head I turn to face " I can't return to the pack, even if I learn to control my powers fast I can't return to them I need to keep them safe I don't know what can happen if rogues decide to attack and see me there I fear the worst can happen Celene herself doesn't want to return their something out there that can hurt us I am sure of it"
"let me speak to her" Celene wished
I let her take control of my body
"Sandra" Celene's voice wasn't rough, harsh, or deep it was angelic strong, and full of authority that it made my godmother slightly bow " even with the lock broken I can only see who we are, our powers, and what could happen if we were to fall to the wrong hands I know what powers a magical being posses once they are present in front of us, and many more things even I am not quite sure of yet, you and the alpha know something that is been kept from us I will not force you to speak it even though I can I will let you and him tell Asu when you feel like it's time"
I was witnessing Sandra from the back of my mind and saw her shiver at Celene's words, she was angry to still be in the dark and so was I, I thought that once I shifted we will learn everything but it wasn't the case.
"I feel a threat and enormous threat I do not want Asu to remain here for the safety of the pack and more importantly for the safety of Asu I will not let anything that could place her in harms way touch her, do you understand know why she doesn't want to come back? " Celene moved closer to her.
"yes, I do, " my godmother smiled and sighed defeated " if that is what you both wish for then we will not return, Celene, Asu, what I keep from you can not be said from my mouth do you understand ?"
"yes" we both voiced out
"You truly love Asu don't you Celene, even going through such lengths to protect her" my godmother chuckled
"of course, Asu is someone I have looked after for a long time, she is very important to me" Celene let out with a smile
" So are you Celene" how did this bond formed was very weird but our bond strengthens the moment we both shifted she was a complete part of me and I was part of her I could feel all her emotions and thoughts easily know at any giving time and so could she, her anger, frustration and overprotectiveness with me was all very clear to me I was her world and she was also mine.
"the bond" I gasped
Celene gave me back control " the bond broke"
My godmother nodded " as it should be, the moment you shifted into your Lycan form the unwanted bond-mate broke you are no longer mated to him " there was poison as she emphasized the last word
immense relief grew in us, good at least that is gone.
"it's time to leave," I said
"Where to?" she raised her eyebrow
"To a new beginning," I smiled
"Hmm, I hear that the snowy mountains of Chamonix mont-blanc are a great place to start training" she winked
"Yes, that sounds perfect" I nodded.
