Her Love and Revenge

Desolate

Anahi’s POV

I woke up to Elara singing Happy birthday in my head. I woke up smiling. This was the best part of my birthday, having Elara with me completed me. “Thank you Elara”. I could see her bow her head “anytime Anahi” she says. I got out go bed and began getting ready for the start of this dreadful week. If I could just stay in my house every day, I would, then I wouldn’t have to deal with all the bullying and abuse.

“Don’t worry, Anahi, this year will be different. I can feel it. I don’t know what it is but we are even stronger now that we turn 18 today.” I couldn’t help but feel relief.

As I sat there smiling I started to feel down thinking to myself. I wish we could just escape from the day and go visit our parents grave and spend the day at the Blue Moon Pack like we use to. I wonder if they know what today is. Who am I kidding they are probably upset with me with how much time has passed that I haven’t reached out to them.

“They probably know, I don’t think that they would forget about us ever. Especially Xaloc and Quill, they were our best friends. They would never forget about us. Even though we could just explain them we didn’t have a way to contact them” Elara soothed.

“You’re right Elara, as always” I chuckled. I wasn’t lying she was right, we weren’t allowed to leave the pack grounds unless it was to go to school and even then if I tried leaving they would know. It was like they were always watching me, making sure that I never leave. It was a bit unsettling seeming as how mom never liked anyone in the pack. Maybe it was because dad was the beta of the pack.

I never knew what being lonely was until I couldn’t be around the ones that mattered the most and it doesn’t help that I have gotten bullied everyday since I came back and found out my parents were murdered. I never could figure out why everyone here hates me. At least now I know that none of them were my real friends. I never defended myself knowing very well that I am stronger than every wolf in this pack including the alpha.

I can’t let them know that I’m strong, mom and dad both did everything they could to keep me out of the limelight. I never understood why but the day I first shifted Alpha Kalei expressed how important it is that I don’t let anyone find out about me shifting early. It would be best if I could just mask my wolf’s scent so that everyone would think that I am wolf-less. That is when the bullying got worse, my 16th birthday. To everyone else I was the weakling of the pack who didn’t get their wolf like everyone else.

I get out of bed and start getting ready for school. An hour later and I’m finally done, I look myself in the mirror in shock. My body looks like it went through a transformation over night, my legs tones and long, my hair shiny and not it’s usual dull color, and bigger and rounder boobs. What the hell? While I’m being astonished by my new look I see the clocks reflection and realize the time. s**t I’m going to be late. I grab my bag and sprint out the door and head to school.

I finally reach the school with 10 minutes to spare before the first bell. As soon as I step into the school building I catch a scent that captivates me. I looked around, trying to figure out what that smell was coming from. I could feel Elara fighting to link with me but since I have her sealed she isn’t able to and I start getting a headache. Elara has never done something like this before.

I run to the bathroom, I clutch my head and crouch down onto the floor. I unseal Elara panicking. “Elara what is going on, why are you trying to break the seal?” I ask breathlessly.

“Mate is near” those words that I’ve longed to hear but feared of the outcome. He won’t be able to sense Elara so he won’t know that I’m his mate. I sat there pondering on what to do when I heard the bell ring. s**t, I’m going to be late to class. I grunt while sealing Elara back up and headed to class. As soon as I walked into the class, I caught the scent again.

When i found who it was coming from I couldn’t believe my eyes. Sitting there with another bimbo in his arms was Aibek Cohen, the future alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. This can’t be happening to me? How can this asshole be my mate? This has got to be a joke the moon goddess is playing on me. I can’t believe this. I ease the seal on Elara just to hear her growl and in distaste I hear her say “Mate”. I know for a fact he will be rejecting me.

I was brought out of my thoughts by his little bimbo, Celia, as she laughed “Looks like the pack trash is trying to make friends with you Aibek, why else would she be standing there looking at you longingly.” What the hell is her problem? “She wants to get her ass beat” I hear Elara growl. s**t I forgot to put the seal back up. Sure enough as soon as I realize this Aibek locks eyes with me and looks murderous. Figures.

I seal Elara back up so that I don’t have to see the look of disdain on his face, he definitely now knows we are mates, now just to wait for him to reject me. About 5 minutes after the last bell, the teacher finally walked in. She looked to be really out of breath.

“Anahi Halo, there’s a gentleman requesting to see you outside” she says fast and tirelessly. This has got to be a joke, right? I get up and headed to the door. “Who the hell thinks they can just ask to speak to anyone in my pack without asking me first.” I stopped in my tracks. Why the hell does he care? I turned glaring at him while talking to the teacher “Thank you Mrs. Lynn, if you would please excuse me I don't want to keep him waiting”. I could see the anger rolling off Aibek.

I usually keep to myself and ignore everyone and their bullying, but not today. Today is different. I turned and walked off without saying another word. As I was walking down the hallway, I thought I caught a familiar scent but that couldn’t be because they were banned. I pick up the pace and start lightly jogging heading outside of the building. God I really hope that my mind isn’t playing tricks on me right now.

I get outside and start looking around frantically looking for Quill. I know that was his scent I smelt, it has to be. I feel my heart breaking as I look and look but don’t find him. I start walking back inside disappointed. It’s wishful thinking to hope for either of them to come see me especially with being banned from the pack lands.

“Looking for someone” I froze halfway up the stairs. I know that voice and that chuckle, it’s just manlier now. I slowly turn around hoping that I’m not imagining things. It really is him. I couldn’t help the waterworks as they ran down my face at the sight of my childhood. At the sound of his chuckle I’m brought out of my thoughts. “Are you just going to stand there and pretend you don’t know me or are you going to come give me a hug”

“QUILL” I yell running into his arms. Oh god his arms feel like home. “I’ve missed you so much, is it just you that came or is Xaloc and Alpha Kalei with you, omg you’re going to get into trouble. You guys were banned from the territory”. I spit out all out once, I just couldn’t believe it, Quill is here standing in front of me. This is the most amazing birthday ever. I stay in his arms until he finally gives me the answers I was looking for.

“Calm down Anahi, there is time for all your questions but for right now I’m taking you out of here so we can catch up. Xaloc will be here in about a week, he had some things to do before he could head here. Dad and him don’t even know that I am here right now, I was suppose to wait until Xaloc was ready to head this way but I couldn’t wait any longer. Now to answer your question your alpha doesn’t own this whole city just the pack grounds so technically I’m not breaking any rules.” I just sit listening to him explain everything to me. I was so hard to believe that I wasn’t dreaming.

“Quill, I have missed you guys so much. I have hated it here ever since I came back that night. They mistreat me here and I can’t do anything about it because mom told me that I couldn’t let any of them know about me. So now everyone bullies me and gets away with it on top of that I found out that my mate is Aibek Cohen. Like can life get any worse.”

“Shhh Anahi, don’t worry they will get what is coming to them for how they did you, now about this mate thing. What are you going to do” before I could reply we heard a low growl come from behind us. I wiped my tears and turned around to see Aibek standing there looking rather murderous. What the hell is his problem.

Aibek’s POV

I don’t know what is going on but as soon as I got to school today Axton, my wolf, has been restless. He couldn’t tell my why because he had no idea what was going on either. As soon as I get into the building Celia walked up to me and tried talking me into one of our sessions before class but I wasn’t really in the mood. Usually I’m down for it whenever, wherever but for some reason today I’m just not in the mood to do anything with anyone.

I tried waiting for my mate but its been a year and still haven’t found my mate, I’m convinced that she is at another pack. I just don’t care enough to go looking for her, besides I need a strong luna not someone who can’t fight for themselves. Celia is just someone I pass the time with so making her the luna was never the plan, however, she thinks I will make her the luna because I’ve only been with her all this time. We walk into class and head to our seats next to my best friends, Cadence and Tyler, our packs future beta and gamma.

As I was talking to Cadence and Tyler about pack issues I feel Axton start to stir relentlessly. I was brought out of my thoughts at the sound of Celia’s voice “Looks like the trash of the pack is trying to make friends with you Aibek, why else would she be standing there looking at you longingly.” What the hell is she going on about now, jeez sometimes I really question myself sometimes. If she didn’t have such a terrible attitude then she would be perfect. “MATE!” I hear Axton purr as I catch the most amazing scent in this world.

I turn around to see the person who Celia is talking to only to find it to be Anahi, I look her in the face and I knew right then and there that Axton wasn’t wrong, she indeed is my mate, there is no denying it. I couldn’t believe this, is the goddess trying to play some kind of joke on me? How could the wolf-less and weakest link of our pack be my luna. She isn’t fit to be luna, I have to reject her. “Don’t you even dare think about it you i***t, you know that we will not be able to run the pack without her” Axton growls into in mind loudly.

“She can’t be our luna, she is weak, she doesn’t even have wolf you would not have your other half. Celia will make a great luna, she’s strong and smart” I say confidently. He scoffs “the moon goddess paired us with her for a reason, that means that she is strong. Besides I will be fine, ill have her that’s all that matters” he snarls. Before I could say anything to him I am brought out of my internal battle by the teacher telling Anahi that some guy wants to see her. Who the hell would even want to see her. Especially some other man, is this the kind of person that she really was?

I always thought that she never interacted with anyone so how could someone want to talk to her and what about. I couldn’t think about anyone else that she knew. “The Evedane brothers” I heard Axton whimper. She can’t go talk to them, she will leave and then father would be angry, I have to stop this.

“Who the hell thinks they can just request to speak to anyone in my pack without asking me first.” I growl slightly before getting a grip on myself. I see Anahi turn and glare at me before saying something to the teacher that I couldn’t hear due to the ringing in me ears due to her glare. What the hell is wrong with me? I shake my head and decide to head out there with her, this would be a great opportunity to reject her without anyone finding out that she’s my mate.

I tried catching her scent but I couldn’t, that’s weird. Its like the scent up and disappeared, like it never existed. Where the hell did she go? I kept walking when I saw some guy holding Anahi in his arms while she cried. I walked out the doors when I heard this guy asking Anahi what she was going to do about ‘this mate thing’ like it wasn’t anything major or important. Before I could think properly I found myself getting furious about this interaction she is having with this guy. Where did she know him from, I know she doesn’t have any friends.

Before I could stop myself I growled at the way he was holding her. “What the hell is going on here?” both me and Axton growled. Anahi glared at me after turning to see it was me. I don’t care if I pissed her off, she knows I am her mate but yet she is out here with some other man. One I don’t know at that, I know he doesn’t belong to our pack by his scent, although it is familiar and so is he. I was trying to calm Axton down so we didn’t do anything on school grounds and got into trouble.

“Anahi we need to talk, privately” I say to her hoping that she will come with me away from this guy. She looked at the man behind her raising her eyebrow like she was expecting him to say something. Who exactly is this man for her to trust him so much. He chuckled shaking his head at her. “Ill only leave if you want me to love” he smiled at Anahi. Love?!

“She isn’t your love watch what you call her pup” I snarled loudly. He just chuckled at me not phased. “The name is Quill Evedane ‘pup’ and I can call Anahi anything I want. I have known her since she was six years old” I froze hearing him say this. That means he’s the future beta of the Blue Moon Pack, the strongest pack in the U.S.

Anahi looked at me with a smug look on her face, she knows that no one would dare to say anything to her with those two around let alone with just one of them around. My father has told me that Quill, Xaloc, and Kalei all tried to take Anahi in after her parents died, they loved her and are very protective and possessive over her, especially the brothers. I was brought out of my shocked state by Anahi’s voice “why don’t you just get what you came here to do over with”

She’s right, I need to reject her before the bond has time to form fully, if that happens I won’t be bale to bring myself to do it. I look over at Quill who is just standing there leaning against his car like he’s waiting for her to be done. “Quill stays” Anahi demands. I just nodded at her. Maybe if he sees exactly how weak she is he and Xaloc will drop her. I will do anything to break her.

“I Aibek Cohen, future alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, reject you Anahi Halo, as my mate and luna” I feel my end of the bond break. It hurts like hell but I can’t let her see that. Axton is whimpering in the back of my mind. He wanted her but I know we need a strong she wolf to be luna not this pathetic woman who doesn’t even have a wolf. Anahi smirks.

“I Anahi Halo, daughter of the late beta of Silver Moon Pack, reject you Aibek Cohen as my mate” she says without hesitation. The pain gets worse ten fold, she doesn’t look to be in any pain at all. What the hell? I thought she would be in worse pain than I would be. Its probably because she doesn’t have a wolf. I stood there staring at her not understanding why this hurt me more than it did her, every she wolf in this entire pack would kill to be in her spot but she doesn’t even seem to want it.

Quill’s POV

I almost laughed at his reaction, anyone with eyes could see that the rejection hurt him more than it did Anahi and that pissed him off. I stood there waiting for Anahi to walk away but Aibek didn’t want to let her go. This was starting to piss me off and the minute I tell Xaloc that he rejected her, he was going to go on a rampage. No one hurts Anahi and get away with it. Xaloc is scary just on a normal day and no one would ever even think about doing something to piss him off but messing with Anahi made him turn into someone unrecognizable, and Aibek just managed to do both all in the span of ten minutes.

It took everything in me not to laugh or smirk about everything. He just allowed Anahi to find her second chance mate without even knowing what he was doing. She is the most powerful werewolf in the world just because of who she is and the gifts that she carries, he basically just gave her to someone else. Even though second chances are rare she will get one because o who she is. In order for her to flourish and reach her full potential she needs a mate. She will be able to share her gifts with her mate once they completely mate and mark each other.

“Anahi are you ready to go? I still have a few things that I have to do and some places to take you” she smiles at me and nods her head. I know that she is wanting to hear about Xaloc, I smile knowing that the love they have for each other will never die no matter what. I sometimes wonder if they are more than just mates, like their souls being intertwined. Everyone could see it when they were younger and the way Xaloc was possessive over Anahi told us all we needed to know.

“She isn’t going anywhere with you, you aren’t even suppose to be on our territory” Aibek growls like he is trying to intimidate me. I smirk and look at him amusingly “She is allowed to go with me wherever she wants to go pup so watch how you talk to me and watch who you growl at, as for the territory thing your father and mine made a deal. Me and Xaloc are allowed to see Anahi on her eighteenth birthday and if she wanted she could finally move to the pack with us. Even if he didn’t agree to it, we would’ve done it anyway since she would be of age and it wouldn’t be illegal.” I snarl getting annoyed with this sorry excuse of an alpha to be

“Anahi is my mate, she will not be leaving with you or anyone else!” he snarl angrily. I shook my head. “Get it together Aibek you just rejected her, you don’t want her.” I turn get in my car and we drive off.

Aibek’s POV

I don’t want her with anyone else. Quill just looked at Anahi raising his brow at her. At this motion Anahi didn’t hesitate to obey and get in the car. She isn’t the same with him, she’s comfortable and obeys him without hesitation. Even my father couldn’t get her to just obey like that and it seems like they have their own language.

I noticed that anytime he did that motion she would just listen. Weird. I walked back into the school grabbed my stuff and headed back to the pack house. I needed to let my father know what was going on. I wonder how he will take it when I tell him I rejected her. He has always had a weird fascination with Anahi, as if she were some mystical being. I never saw what about her could be even the slightest bit of admirable. I mean she is pretty but she could definitely tone up and maybe wear different clothes. Maybe she would look a littler prettier.

As I’m pulling into the driveway of the pack house I mind link my father ‘dad where are you?’ He answered a few seconds later ‘in my office’ I ran to his office and barged in not caring about knocking. “You better have a good reason to barging into my office like that without knocking.” My dad huffs I just role my eyes. We don’t have time for this.

“I saw Anahi today and she was talking with Quill Edevane, they ended up leaving together today. I followed her out, I found that she is my mate but we rejected each other. I know I can’t have a weak wolf as the luna of my pack.” My dad’s face turned crimson. He looked absolutely furious, why the hell would he be mad? “YOU DID WHAT?!?! My father snarled loudly. He took a few breaths “Do you have any idea how much of an i***t you are? I can’t believe i’ll be passing the alpha position to you. Anahi is special you dumbass, you just rejected the most powerful wolf in this entire world!” What the hell is he talking about?

“How can she be special or powerful, she never defends herself when abused or bullied, not only that she doesn’t have a wolf.” I looked at my father like he was deranged. “Her mother was the same way, I’ve been suspicious for years now. I think Anahi was taught how to conceal her wolf so that no one could sense it and you just rejected her like she was nothing. You just gave her to her second chance mate and didn’t even realize it.”

I really think my father has lost it. Anahi doesn’t have a wolf, it would be hard to not shift. After you get your wolf, they could go crazy if you don’t sift regularly. There is no way she would be able to hide that, someone would have seen her in her wolf form. I’m sure of it, and what the hell is he talking about with this second chance mate thing. That’s rare, in history there only a handful recorded to of happened in all of history and the ones recorded were of those that were the most powerful.

None of this is making any sense to me. “You need to take back the rejection and find a way to get her to accept you” my father spits out at me. I just nodded and left his office. I needed somewhere to think, I need to find Anahi. I run out and shift into Axton and head to Anahi’s house but she wasn’t there. I’m guessing she is still with Quill. “I will rip his head off this shoulders and shred him into pieces” I hear Axton growl

Anahis POV

Spending this time with Quill has been the best thing ever, after leaving the school we stoped at a restaurant in town, ate and talked about everything. According to Quill him, Xaloc, and Kalei weren’t allowed to come see me or have contact with me. It makes sense, Matias has always been weirdly attentive to me and my mother. Xaloc is suppose to be coming in a week and I can’t wait. Don’t get me wrong I missed Quill but Xaloc is a different story. I don’t know how to explain it but ever since we were little it has always felt like me and him are each others halves. Like he was the missing part of me.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Quill waving his hand in front of my face, “what yah thinking about?” He asked smirking I just roll my eyes he knows very well what I was thinking about, more like who I was thinking about. “N-nothing” I internally grimace at my stuttering. God he is going to catch onto that, unfortunately the goddess just loves making things embarrassing for me. Quill looks at me with amusement and a smirk on his face.

“What are you wanting to do after this?” I ask him trying to change the subject, he just chuckles. “We can do whatever it is you want to do, but we do need to go pick something up from my hotel.” I looked up at him wondering how long he had actually been in around here, especially if he has a hotel. “You could just stay with me at my parents house Quill, you don’t need to waste money on a hotel.” I huffed out at him. He knows he will always be welcomed at my house. He sighs, “it isn’t that easy Anahi, Matias has banned me, Xaloc, and my father from ever actually entering the pack territory, he only agreed on today because he knew we would come to you today whether he permitted it or not.” I didn’t know that things were that bad between the packs.

Back when my parents were still alive, Alpha Matias didn’t seem to have had too much of a problem with the Blue Moon Pack. Letting my curiosity get the best of me, I asked Quill what I’ve wanted to know for years. “What happened between your dad and Alpha Matias?” Quill is silent sat there looking like he was having an internal battle with himself on whether he should tell me or not.

“Well, you Anahi, you’re the reason why those two don’t get along. As you know both you and your mom are special and we have always suspected Matias suspected your mom was special, which is why she didn’t trust anyone in that pack and she stayed to herself. Both of your parents kept it all a secret which is why they raided you the way they did and keeping your secret is absolutely top priority, they didn’t want him or anyone else to try and use you for their personal gain. So when your mom found out that she was pregnant with you she went to my father and asked he take you in if anything happened to her or your father and when Matias found out he lost it saying she was disrespecting him as her alpha because she was trust another alpha over him.” I sat there shocked, I couldn’t believe all of this.

With what Quill said, it makes me wonder if my mother somehow knew something was going to happen to her. I looked at Quill after mustering up my courage. “Hey do you guys know if my parents somehow knew if something was going to happen to her?” He looks at me and gets closer to me. Before I could question him, he leans in and whispers “Not here Anahi, I promise I will tell you everything but we can’t here. We are being watched and spied on” I grimaced. What is he talking about?

I turned and looked, I couldn’t believe my eyes, it couldn’t be.
