Disatrous Fate

Chapter Two: Disastrous Fate

Luca’s POV

Penelope ran her long fingers down my chest causing shivers to go down my spine. She couldn’t take no for an answer. I grasped her tiny hands in mine.

“Penny, I’ve got things to do”. She giggled in response. Her long blonde her cascaded down her back in waves as she placed her cheek onto my chest.

“Luca, I want to be with you.” Not this again. I groaned internally at my best friends sister. She had grown into a stunning young lady. But I just wasn’t into her as soon as I'd decided that I wanted to find my mate. Which was a year and a half ago. My mother and father asked me countless times to just make Penelope my Luna. I'd made a mistake of sleeping with her once. It was in the moment of weakness. The chemistry we shared was undeniable but, I almost marked her. I couldn’t do that to her or the mate that was surely waiting for her. I couldn't do it to my mate. Or to my best friend for that matter. He has no idea about what happened between her and I. I felt like scum for not telling him.

"We can't Penny". She pouted. It was adorable. She had me and her brother wrapped around her finger from a young age. But I wouldn't give into her antics or the lust.

"If you don't find your mate by the end of the year, marry me". She demanded.

"This girl is relentless"! Growled my wolf in disgust. He couldn't see her as anything more than a sister.

“Alpha”. My patrol Commander’s voice was wary as he mind linked me. Thank the Moon Goddess for the interruption.

“Yes Victor”?

“Beta Astor and myself have a rogue girl in custody. We are taking her to the basement now”. Rogue? Well I’ll be damned. Since I took over being Alpha 2 years ago following my brother’s death there hasn’t been a single sighting of a rogue. The thought of my older brother made my heart clench. I pushed it down. I didn't want my thoughts to spiral out of control. I’d made a name for the Rebel Moon Pack. Other packs either feared or envied us. Rogues made it a point to stay far from my territory.

“Don’t let the other members of the pack see her. I don’t want to cause a scene. Keep her quiet understood”? I commanded in a respectful manner.

“Yes Alpha”.

“I’ll be right there”.

I cut off the link quickly. I looked down to Penelope’s awaiting emerald green eyes and kissed her forehead.

“We’ll take later Penny”. She caught my hands, determination overtaking her delicate doll like features.

“Promise me first"! For the love of the moon, she truly doesn't quit.

"Fine, but we'll finish this conversation later". She squealed in delight.

"Thank you Luca". She whispered as I walked out of my office and made my way to the basement of our Holding/Interrogating rooms away from the Main pack house.

******

Victor stood waiting at the door that leads to the basement. An uneasy feeling settled in my chest. He nodded at me.

“Beta Astor waiting with the girl Alpha”.

“Thank you Victor, I’ll link you if we need you”. I walked past him going further into the basement.

“Yes Alpha”. I made my way downstairs. The hairs on my skin stood up. I broke out in a sweat. I could feel my wolf Lucian pacing impatiently in the back of my mind.

“What is going on Lucian”? He growled lightly

“Wait” He all but whispered.

Great. Astor stood at the foot of the stairs waiting for me patiently. As soon as he saw me coming he nodded.

"Alpha we found her hiding in a bush, she reeks of magic and blood". I turned to take in this beautiful brown eyed, hot mess of a girl in front of me. A low growl escaped her plump lips while she stared daggers at my best friend and beta. Her heavenly scent invaded my senses nearly knocking me to my ass. Only one thought came as Lucian howled in happiness.

“Mate”. I roared, fuming as the scent of death followed. Death as in Vampire. Of course the others wouldn’t have been able to catch a whiff of it. It was barely there, but me being an Alpha, I did. I reacted so quickly, in an instant I was in front of my mate and pulled her shirt down. Exposing her neck. There it was. She was a wolf bitten by a vampire...I could smell the venom in her blood.

What disastrous fate has the moon goddess bestowed upon me?

Charlie’s POV

“What the hell are you doing”!? I pushed at my so called mate. He looked murderous. His blue eyes glued to my neck. My skin tingled a bit at where he had touched me.

“What is your name”? He girt out.

“Charlie”. I whispered as I pulled my shirt up.

“What happened to you”? He asked vehemently. I crouched down hugging myself. A feeling of dread invading my body.

“I… I don’t know”. I gulped down. “I can’t remember anything. My head hurts when I try to remember anything. I only remember that I am a werewolf, my name, and that I am 17 years old…. I’ll be 18 in a week. I can’t remember anything else” I croaked out as tears of exhaustion ran down my face.

“A full moon”. He whispered. “You were bitten by a vampire did you know that”? What the hell? I felt with a shaking hand on my neck at where he had been staring. I felt puncture wounds. I shivered as I felt them. My life was slipping through my hands.

“No”! I sobbed. Clutching at my heart. Goddess it hurt.

“f**k”! My mate roared pacing back and forth clenching and unclenching his hands. The other wolf approached my mate, placing a hand on his shoulder making him stop.

“Luca, this isn’t good. If she has vampire venom in her blood stream, she could die. She hasn’t even shifted yet. She'll shift on her birthday. No wolf has survived a vampire’s venom upon shifting before, it’s surprising she’s here at all”!

“YOU DON’T THINK I KNOW THIS”! My mate Luca roared. He stood there for a long time, staring blankly. I could see the wheels turning from here as he took everything in. He turned his gaze to me as he spoke to his beta. “Wait outside and link the pack doctor Astor”.

"Yes Alpha". Astor hesitated and gave me a look full of pity as he marched up the stairs. And I hated it...I was done for. That much I knew.
