The Unwanted Wolf

Chapter 7 Another Mate

I watch as sobs are racking her body, it is tearing my heart apart and I don't even know her name. I know this is the mate bond at work, but still my heart hurts watching the tears stream down her face. “Please stop crying, you are safe, no one will harm you, I promise you.” I gently place my hand on her chin and slowly raise her face to look me in the eye. It is the second time since I walked into the room that she has looked at me directly and I can see the recognition in her eyes. She knows that we are mates also.

There are so many emotions I see cross through her beautiful blue eyes. I want so badly to pull her into my arms, but I know she is not ready for me to touch her yet. Her breathing started to slow and she seemed to be calming down. “What is your name?” I asked her, waiting with baited breath. “My name is Isabella, but my friends call me Bella.” I could not believe how beautiful her name was and she is mine. “Where are you from Bella, if you don't mind me asking?” “Do we have to talk about that right now? I don't know that I am ready to talk about that just yet.”

Isabella looks shyly down towards her hands and then asks “will you tell me your name now?” “ My name is Logan, I am the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.” Isabella's head snaps up in shock, “what, oh my god! I know that we are mates. I felt it and my wolf confirmed it when I looked into your eyes. I need to know Logan, are you going to reject me too?” My mind is racing. I don't think I can take another rejection so soon after my first. Then all I can think is how could I get a second chance mate so soon after my rejection from Markus and how could it be another alpha? I know it is possible to get a second chance mate when the moon goddess deems you worthy. I don't understand why she would think I am worthy of another mate, I am nothing and even my first mate believed that. I was a waste of space, I am nothing. I know Logan will think that too, he doesn't know what has been done to me, who I am and what pack I am from. When he finds out these things, it will be over. I just know it.

“First off, yes, we are mates. I would never reject you. I have been waiting for you my whole life and what do you mean am I going to reject you too?” I am looking at Logan, doubting what he said. I know he can see it in my eyes. I don't know him and I sure as hell don't trust him. Seeing this, he gently grabs my hand and rubs circles on the tops of them. I look at him and ask “how long have I been here?” He looks me straight in the eyes with no hesitation and says “we found you last night on the side of the road at a roadside park, passed out after some wolves on patrol heard you scream. Logan looks at me and says "you are avoiding my last question.” I look at Logan, again straight in the eyes and stated "I am not avoiding your question, I just needed to know how long I was out to see how I need to explain some things to you. Let me start with, I just turned 18 yesterday. I ran into the wolf who was supposed to be my mate at 2 am when I was trying to escape my old pack. When he found out who I was, he rejected me. I accepted his rejection as I didn't want to be with him after what he had done to me and what I knew he was going to allow to happen to me. While I am telling Logan about my rejection, he starts growling and his eyes keep changing color from a stormy blue gray to black, indicating that his wolf is trying to come forward.

After he rejected me, he ran out of the pack house and I ran away in order to save myself . I renounced my affiliation with my old pack as I crossed the border, so I guess I am currently considered to be a rouge. I made my way to the car my best friend purchased for me in order to escape from my pack. When I was driving down the highway, I got this unbearable pain mainly in my heart and my wolf told me that our mate was having s*x with someone else and that was the cause of the pain I was feeling. I thought that once we both rejected each other there would be no pain, but she explained that one of us would have to mark another first before the pain would stop from the betrayal of the bond. I was able to get pulled over at the roadside park, the pain continued on and on and continued to worsen. I know I screamed out at some point and I must have passed out and that must have been when your patrol heard me.”

“Isabella, I need you to tell me what pack you are from. I know you said you didn't want to talk about it, but I need to know.” “Please, I don't want you to send me back there, please. I won't tell you, you can't make me go back.” “Isabella, I promise I will never send you back there, I promise I will protect you, but I need to know who I am protecting you from, do I need to worry about my pack.” “Logan, I.....am.....from.......” "Logan, Logan, you need to come now," I heard Amelia shouting, before Isabella could tell me where she is from. I ran towards the door, flinging it open to find Amelia running up the stairs toward me.

“What is it Amelia, w'hat is wrong, why are you screaming?” “ Logan, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, is at the gate requesting to speak with you about one of his missing pack members.” Both Logan and Amelia turned to look at me. I know in that moment they both realized he must be here about me. I can't even look either of them in the eye. I walked Amelia to the door, “Amelia, get me Aiden now and have him meet me at the front door.” I turned to walk back into my room to let Isabella know that I would be gone for a bit and when I walked in the door, Isabella seems to have disappeared, but I know that is not possible since, there is no way she had gotten out of my room. I start searching everywhere for her, under the bed, in the bathroom, in the shower, under the counter, and she is nowhere. I walked by my closet door and saw that it was not completely closed. I slowly opened the door and turned on the light. At first, I didn't see her. I walk further in and in the very right corner, hidden behind my suitcase, sets Isabella, curled up in a ball crying.

“Isabella, please come out, you are safe here, I promise.” “Logan, please don't give me back to him, please don't let him take me...please......I will do anything.” Logan looks at Isabella in shock, he is not sure what she is talking about at first, then he realizes that she must have heard Amelia from the hall and she is afraid that I will turn her over to Alpha Markus. Before I do anything else I need to confirm my and Amelia's thoughts on where she came from. I don't want to be wrong and not protect her. “Isabella, did you come from the Blood Moon Pack? Is Alpha Markus who you are afraid of? Was he your first mate?
