THE MYSTIC ELEMENT

CHAPTER SIX

JAMES WESTON

I knew Charles was going to reject his mate but I didn't know he was going to do that the exact moment they met.

"You rejected her?", Fred asked in disbelief.

"You heard what I said. I don't have time for shits. What's the use if wasting my time with her when I was going to reject her anyways", he shrugged and Fred opened his mouth in awe.

"I can't believe you two are my friends" he shook his head and made to leave. Immediately, the house began to shake and we fell down on the floor. It stopped as soon as it began and we stood up.

"What the f**k just happened?", Charles asked, panting in fear.

"Did an earthquake just happen?", I asked in disbelief since an earthquake has never happened since the day I was born. As reading each other's mind, ran to the door together and ran out of the room.

"Dad, what the hell just happened?", I asked, mindlinking my dad as we ran out of the house.

"I think it was an earthquake, where are you?", he answered.

"Fred, Charles and I are going out of the house to go check if it was an earthquake", I replied and closed the link.

Immediately we got outside, heavy lightning striked and we saw as trees splitted into two. Almost all the pack members were here and we heard gasps from where they were. Charles, Fred and I watched with our mouth wide opened.

As soon as the lightning strike stopped, a heavy wind began to blow which made dust fill every where. I tried to keep my eyes opened as dust flew into my eyes. Tornadoes began to form and everyone ran for safety so as not to be carried by the tornado. Soon, trees began to catch fire. Where the fire came from, no one knew. Trees burned down to ashes and most of the vegetation in out pack was destroyed.

"Look here", a young boy screamed and everyone ran to where he was. He was standing in front of our fish pond which was beside a river at the last end if our pack territory. The pond was overflowing with water and the fishes which we were rearing for both consumption and sales were on the floor. Some were dead while the others which were still alive were struggling for their lives.

"What is happening?", a pack member cried.

"What did we do wrong to deserve this calamity that has befallen us?", another cried. I could feel my dad's presence behind me and I turned to him, bowing slightly in respect.

"What's going on, Alpha? What's this?", Charles asked him.

"This is all your fault, Charles. If only you had not rejected your mate, this wouldn't have happened", Fred accused.

"What did I do? I don't want an omega as my mate and I rejected her. What the f**k is your stress with my life?", Charles charged towards him and I held his hand. He looked at me and I shook my head as a sign for him not to fight Fred and he removed his hand from mine roughly.

"You're asking me what you did? So you don't even feel for that poor lady? Oh! You're trying to defend yourself, right? I told you, didn't I? I told you to consider the fact that the moon goddess chose her as your mate and not to reject her but you didn't listen", Fred stated.

"Listen Fred, let me make this clear to you. I'm not gonna stoop so low to be mated to a freaking omega and whatever the f**k I do isn't any of your f*****g business", he growled showing his wolf.

"Fine. Just know that whatever disaster that will befall us, you have to take responsibility for it", he declared and stormed away to the park house.

"You rejected your mate", Beta Thomas, Charles dad and the Beta of our pack, asked and Charles rolled his eyes

"Not now, dad, please?", Charles pleaded and went away.

"James, what going on with you friends?", my mum chipped in and I sighed.

"I don't know, mum, don't ask me", I said, rubbing my hair roughly.

"Inform all pack members that there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, after breakfast", dad announced and went away with my mum.

***********

"Hey babe", Sam entered into my room just as I finished showering.

"I'm in the bathroom, give me a minute", I shouted back for yet to hear me. Soon, I came out of the bathroom with a towel loosely wrapped around my waist.

"Awwn......... babe, you look so sweet", she said, standing from my bed where she was sitting and she came to me, wrapping her arms round my waist.

"I rejected my mate", she confessed, kissing my bare chest and I moaned in delight.

"It was time you did, I was going to duel with him if you didn't", I said seriously and she chuckled.

"Did you think I was going to leave you alone for him? For f**k sake, I don't love him and besides, everyone knows that we're meant to be together. It's just that I was a little disappointed that you were not my mate, it would have been great", she said and bit her lower lip. My eyes darkened in lust and I growled in warning.

"Come to me, baby", she double closed her eyelids and took my hand, dragging me to the bed.

*************

I woke up from sleep but Sam wasn't there anymore. I got out from bed, naked and I walked to the bathroom.

"Hey babe, I thought you were gone", I said, kissing her neck and she giggled.

"Good morning too you too, James", she said, applying makeup to her face and I stopped her, pouting.

"You look more prettier without makeup", I admitted and she snorted.

"Go freshen up, James, I'll be at the dining room downstairs", she said, standing up and she left the room.

After breakfast, we all moved to the pack hall where other pack members were waiting for us. Something was not right. My wolf had been restless since we woke up and he even got worse now that we were in front of the pack hall. Immediately we got inside, a strong scent of apple mixed with tree filled my nose.

' Wait. That can't happen, right? It's probably my mate?', I thought to myself as my dad went up there stage. He started to talk but I couldn't hear what he was saying as I was so captivated and distracted by the scent of my suppose mate. I decided to trace where the scent was coming from after the meeting.

After the meeting, my friends and Sam came to me and we all left the pack together. I saw two girls walking in front of us and the scent became even more stronger.

"Wait", I ran to one of them whose hair was black and held her hand to stop her from walking further. Sparks erupted from my hand and she turned to look at me.

' Mate, mate, mate ', my wolf was chanting in my head.

"Mate", I spurted out without thinking and eyes widened. That was when I recognized her, she was Sydney Gold, the omega Sam hated with so much passion.

' My mate is an omega?'.
