Moon Blessed

Episode 3

Her

I jolted awake from the pain on my body, looking around I’m surrounded by tall trees. Yesterday wasn’t a dream, I could still feel the pains of rejection and I’m really tired even after sleeping.

Sitting up, I can’t actually understand what happened from zoning out in that arena , to being labelled a Rogue, to being rejected by my mate. I was given only an hour to leave the pack, a minute later, I could be beheaded because no one knows when I would start changing.

So am actually a rogue? Both I had a mate.Dad left to buy sometime and I was left with Aurora who told me to leave since the clock was ticking and my dad wasn’t coming back, she gave me instructions on how to reach a little rogue village on the outskirts of the Eastern kingdom where a peaceful pack of rogues lived.

I walked for some hours before I saw the stream. I bent down to drink some water and caught my reflection, what sin did I possibly commit to have this scar, silver just like my hair. Looking around the two paths Aurora talked about was there, she said take the left right? I was too disoriented but the left path feels eerie and the right feels welcoming.

“Go left child”

What was that? Was that my wolf or am I finally loosing it like a rogue?

“Who are you?”

I waited but no response so I got up and took the left path maybe it’s leading me to the village. After about some minutes of walking I felt a presence like I wasn’t alone. The faster I walked the more people I could feel but I couldn’t see anyone.

“Rogue” I turned “state your business in the capital city”. I saw a bulky looking man but there was three of him. Triplets?

“Capital city, I don’t understand?”.

“ You must be joking thinking we would think you don’t know you are in Mortavia”.

Oh no, I took the wrong turn, Aurora must have said right.

“Bound her let’s take her to the alpha, she might be a spy”

I ran back towards where I came in from with all my remaining strength, I was being chased but I didn’t run for long because I was stopped by a body and the most intriguing earthy smell hit me first before I stopped, he smelled like the following morning after it rains, he smells peaceful. I looked up, if I thought the first guy and the others chasing me was bulky I was wrong, he was nearly twice the man they were. It was as if everything slowed down and I looked into his bright green eyes, I could feel all the emotions he was feeling, but one was very clear anger.

“Mate” He said before I could with clear disgust in his eyes.

How was this possible?

He removed his eyes off me for a second to look at someone behind me and immediately a hoody was used to cover my head and I could feel my body being thrown in something I assumed was a four wheeled cart. Another mate? The moon goddess must be having a laugh, another rejection?

I just felt a lot of movement till I’m guessing I reached my destination, since I was forced to sit in a seat and the hoody removed. I looked around, I was in what looked like a holding cell, entirely made of wood and just two chairs separated by a table. Few minutes later I heard shouting out in the hallway. “How is this even possible, is this another manipulation?” A man said, the man from earlier said, mate?

“Just calm down” a lady responded “I will go in first”. The door opened few seconds later. A tall very attractive brunette came in dressed in an all black outfit. Wow, Maybe she is his chosen mate.

“Hi, I’m Rose” the beautiful lady stated.

“I'm Ember Jackson” I replied

She looked at me intently and says “ so it seems”.

“You look tired, so I would make this easy for you and also for me, I need you to think about what has happened between the last 48 hours” she said sternly.

“what? I don’t want to” I think she could see the hurt in my eyes.

She sighs “ look honey, I don’t know what you have been through but it’s either this or I let the big bad wolf in”

I immediately accepted her offer. She stepped forward and placed her hands on my head. Is she a telepath?

“yes I am, now focus on the events I told about and I will know if your lying”.

I did as I was told and by the time she was through I was on the verge of breaking downand I was shouting.

“oh my goddess, you poor thing, I’m sorry I had to go deeper to make sense of everything, how are you holding up, you must be feeling terrible”

“ I don’t know honestly” and I’m not sure I want to tell the chosen mate of my second destined mate anything.

Laughter erupts in the room, what’s so funny?

“You think Alpha Kilian is my mate?”

“He isn’t?” I asked and she shakes her head turning to the left side to show her neck, a clear mark was there already.

“sorry to burst your bubble but I’m taken”

“Oh okay” I said with relieve.

“We need to get you into clean clothes, you need a proper meal and a hot bath too” she said with a smile on her face.

“I’m sorry for everything till now and I don’t want to talk about it till your settled here, so for now,” “ Kara” she called and the door opened and a girl came in, “ she will make you something from the kitchen while I get you settled in a room”. She said so smoothly. She talks with ease.

I was lead up the stairs by Rose, and finally went down the hallway and reached the extreme room.

She opened it and that beautiful earthy smell hit me again.

“ This is Killian’s room” she says and my eyes bulged.

“Don’t worry he doesn’t usually stay here and I don’t think the wing for guests suits you”

“Okay”

“Go into the bathroom and take a shower before you come out fresh clothes would have been laid down for you” She said and I listened.

Entering the bathroom, it had everything I needed and for the first time in how many hours I took a proper shower with nothing ommy mind those few minutes, no thoughts just hot water on my skin. When I was through I came out and she handed me clothes to wear. I dressed up in the bathroom and looked into the mirror when I was done. My hands went up to touch my face, the scar was still there. I was ug...

“Ember” Rose called out to me.

I came out of the bathroom

“food is ready, you should eat and rest”

I sat down and ate in silence, while my mind roamed, when I was through rose broke the silence between us as she stood up.

“you should rest now” she said leading me to the bed. She was like a mother I needed growing up.

“ You have been through a lot but I assure you that the way he is acting, there is a solid reason behind his actions, your not the only one whose hurting” “ Get some sleep dear” and she left.

How did she know? oh right. What does she mean by what she said? Was he hurt before? I wouldn’t dream of him accepting me, a rogue that has an ugly scar. I only hope he would let me to plead my case and spare my lifebecause Mortavia is a one way entry.
