Destined to be His Luna

Chapter Five: Aiden

I wake with a start, panic rocking my entire body, bolting up right trying to get my bearings I realize I'm at the pack hospital.

“What the hell happened” I whisper to myself

I remember the pain it was like fire racing through my blood my entire body was agony I hear a commotion outside. My father's voice booming down the hallway “where is she” he growls. I'm assuming at the doctor. A minute later, he barges through the door to my side.

“Hey sweetheart are you okay” he looks at me worry etched in his face his body rigid “I'm okay dad” I say trying to ease his panic a bit.

My father turns to the doctor “what happened” he demands

“Beta Nicholas we're not certain, she was found screaming in pain so they brought her here” the doctor states shaking his head, confusion written across his face.

My father looks back at me, “Sweetheart, do you remember anything?” “No, I was just headed to class and all of a sudden, it's like I was burning” a shudder rolls through me.

"s***” he says, “it's the mate bond”

“Excuse me” disbelief is in my voice “what does the mate bond have to do with any of this” I demand.

My father refuses to meet my eye for a second, it's like he's having to muster up the courage to tell me what's going on. “Sometimes you can feel the bond if you've met your mate, and they've either rejected you or are with someone else, physically it manifests the pain as a burning feeling.

I'm confused “but I haven't met my mate, I don't understand”

He takes my hand trying to comfort me, you can see the wheels turning in his mind trying to figure everything out. From behind him, I hear the doctor state “maybe she's met him before today she wouldn't have felt the connection, she was underage”.

“I guess it's possible” says my father, “it would certainly explain what happened”

Everything having clicked in my mind anger starts to course through my system “so wait you're telling me that I've met my mate and what, I felt, was him f****** someone else”

“Aiden” my father chides, “watch your language”

I'm angry I can't stop the words coming out of my mouth I've never been able to control my temper holding my tongue is not my strong suit “are you kidding me right now” I tell my father.

“My mate is someone I know. Now I get to go through that every time he wants to have a go between the sheets with someone who's not me” I yell! Tears burn the back of my eyes, but I refuse to cry. This can't be happening to me.

“We'll figure it out, sweetie. I need you to calm down. Let's go home, and you can rest, we still have the party tonight.”

“I'm not going to that stupid party”. I say, crossing my arms over my chest. “I never wanted to go in the first place” “Aiden this is not up for discussion you're going, you cannot disrespect our new Alpha.”

"Whatever" I say throwing my legs over the side of the bed, standing and walking out. Just what I want to deal with our new Alpha. This day wasn't bad enough already it just got a lot worse yeah happy birthday to me what the f*** ever!
