The Fight For Love

How Strong is The Bond Between Mates

Chapter 2

“I Xayden Alexander Cane refuse your rejection Briella Jane Mozarc.” He says with such authority in is tone. My heart starts racing as I realize he is the alpha of the Silver Moon Pack! I look down at the ground with tears in my eyes not knowing what to do now that he has refused the rejection. My wedding is in just a few moments, I should be getting my hair and makeup fixed to look my best. Instead, I am standing in the garden with my mate, not the man I’m supposed to marry.

I start to panic, my breathing is now rapid, my heart feels like it’s about to bust out of my chest any minute, tears are streaming down my face destroying my makeup. I must look a hot mess right now, but I can’t bring myself to walk away. Forcing my feet to move I turn to walk away. He grabs my wrist to pull me back sending sparks shooting through my arm. I turn to look at him and pull my arm free even though I really want to move in closer, breathe in his scent, goddess is it hypnotizing. Quickly looking back at the ground careful not to get lost in his gorgeous green eyes.

He must notice my panic and fear because he raises his hand to gently rub his fingers across my cheek wiping away my tears leaving a tingly feeling where he touched. I miss the warmth when he pulls his hand away to look at me. I still don’t look up at him, I’m too embarrassed. That’s when he wraps his arms around me pulling me close to him. I tell myself to push away, but can’t, I snuggle in deeper. Cali is going nuts in my head when he leans in and plants a kiss on the top of my head. She is now fighting for her way to come out to meet our mate but I force her back. If she comes out, we will be marked and mated right here in this garden. I feel my cheeks burn at the thought. I breathe in his scent and wrap my arms around his waist to calm myself. It’s truly amazing how a simple touch from your mate mixed with their scent can calm you from even the worst of moods.

I pull back just enough so I can look at his face. This man is gorgeous, how can he want someone like me? I’m just a girl who happens to be the alpha’s daughter, but it feels like I am treated like nothing more than an omega, the lowest ranking members of the pack. I’ve never been shown how to fight or protect myself, just locked away in my room like a prisoner. Now I’ve been promised to marry someone who I have never met for the sake of my pack. I force all my thoughts aside and try to focus on the man in front of me. I notice he has a scar in his right eyebrow and can’t help but wonder why it hasn’t healed.

Not one feature makes Xayden so gorgeous, though his eyes come close. People often speak of the color of eyes, as if that were of importance, yet his eyes would be beautiful in any shade. But even after a few moments I find myself in love with his bright green eyes. They are like my own dreamland, staring in to them makes everything else fall away, it’s just me and him without a care in the world. It makes me want to feel how his lips move in a kiss, how his hands follow the curves of my body. A blush creeps up my face, and I look back to the ground. I’m too embarrassed by the thoughts in my head, what has come over me? These are thoughts for married or mated couples only. This thought brings tears to my eyes, he will never be able to be mine. I have to marry that damn Beta, I just wish I knew why. I hear someone behind me but don’t bother to turn and look, I don’t want this simple moment to end.

Suddenly I hear Marie shout “Briella! What are you doing? Your wedding is about to start and you’re in another man’s arms? How do you think your husband is going to feel when you walk up the aisle and he smells another man on you?”

I quickly pull out of Xayden’s arms and turn towards Marie, surprised that she is back out here before I called for her. I start to walk back to the house with her without saying anything. I turn back to see Xayden standing there just staring at us with sadness and confusion written all over his face. I can’t help the tears that start to fall as I look him in the eye and say “I’m sorry” and turn to walk away. My makeup is a complete mess, my heart is hurting and it seems Xayden is the only one that cares about how I’m feeling. Even Marie who I have always considered my to be like my mom is against me being with my mate, this all sucks and I just want to crawl into my bed and never wake up.

“How can you just walk away from him like that?” Cali whines

“Dad will for sure kill us if we stayed”

“He is our mate Briella we can’t just leave him”

“We can and we did, now don’t think about him. We have to get through this wedding.”

“f**k this wedding!”

“Trust me I know I hate it, but we have to go through with it.”

“I will get us with our mate one way or another, you marry the Beta today but we will be with our mate soon.”

“Don’t think like that Cali! Once we are married, we are there for life, that’s why I tried to reject him. I just have to figure out another way”

“This is the other way. We marry the beta then one night we make it look like there is an accident or like someone attacked and we run never to be seen again.”
