The Yōso-Takani Sonzo

Jealous

*EDREA*

We walked to the upper den area where the omegas went for entertainment. We sat down on the bean bags and started talking like time hasn't passed. Marcos and I were best friends before his parents moved to a different pack. Leaving us separated until now. He was 5'2 and skinny back then. Now he 6'2 with muscles popping out his shirt.

"How's life been?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders. I look at him cause he was acting weird and he started tearing up. I hugged him, allowing him to cry on my shoulders.

"Thank you" Marcos sniffed as he pulled away from me. I just nodded my head because I didn't know what else to say or do. "I became the top warrior at my old pack and second in command at the Royals palace." I smiled brightly happy for my friend but confused at his tears. "I've been assigned to come a stand guard for the Alphas daughter but she treats me like crap. Making me run errands and fetch people like I'm a dog." He huffed like a child. I can see how that could be upsetting but not to make you cry. I was about to ask why he was crying but he continued on. "My Mate also rejected me but I ran away like a coward. Now because I didn't accept her rejection. Even with hundred of miles between us, I feel like crap every morning and every night because my mate f***s anything she sees walking." He growls

How could she reject a beautiful man like Marcos. He was gorgeous, smart, tall and the top of his class. Anyone mated to him should be all over him. I didn't understand as I patted Marcos back. Letting him know the Moon Goddesses will grant him a second chance mate. Also giving him the chance to reject his first mate, so he can move forward. We talked for a while before he went on his way. I figured my Mate got busy with his sister and so I left to find Lana but I couldn't and so I came back. I asked the kitchen staff for some snacks and they happily gave me a bunch of junk to stuff down before lunch. I made my way back to the TV room and started binge watching a new show I've been dying to see.

Time went by and I watched the whole series. I noticed it was dark outside. I mentally punched myself for sitting in front of a TV for so long. I started to wonder why my mate haven't came searching for me as he said he would and so I went searching for my Mate.

I found his room and knocked on the door. He opened but he did not look happy seeing me.

"You can have the bed" He said with so much disgust. Did he expect me to move in so fast?

"Did I do something wrong?" He laughed at my question like it was the dumbest question anybody could have asked.

"Wrong? No.. If you don't see anything.. then I don't either" He replied with stubbornness.

"Alpha" I started to say but he cut me off

"Augustus" He turned to face me. "You are my Mate, Do not call me Alpha and take off those clothes! You smell like him!!" He growled. That's when a light bulb lit up within me.

He was jealous, my heart fluttered at the thought. Did he already gain feelings for me? It's been less than 12 hours, I mean of course, he's my Mate, why wouldn't he?. I guess that's how the bond works. He must've seen me touch Marco and instead of confronting the situation. He decided to retreat away from me.

I laughed as I turned to walk away, I was not about to hurt his ego any more than it was. Though it took everything in me not to speak on what happened. I would have to save it for tomorrow. I am tired. I opened the door to leave "And where do you think You're going?" I could tell he was inches behind me now but I could only roll my eyes and laugh again "What's so funny?" He growled, making me want to punch him. I'm so tired of his attitude.

"You are" I replied boldly "You think I have a thing with Marco but I don't. We are old time best friends. We grew up together until Marco moved to another pack. After that we haven't seen each other or talked until today." I blurted out before he could interrupt me again. I started to walk out. I had a good day today and I'm not going to allow him to mess it up.

I felt a pair of hands wrap around me, pulling me into his chest. I didn't protest as I felt him put his face in my neck and kiss it. "Don't go, I apologize for letting my anger get the best of me and judging you."

*AUGUSTUS*

I left Flora room five minutes after she started rampaging on about how Edrea wants to take her position as Alpha female. And how she knew all along that she was going to swoop in on the day I arrived to trick me into thinking we belong together.

I laughed in her face and she lounged at me, grabbing me by my collar bone. Yelling for me to not fall for the tricks. I told her you can't trick a Mate bond. It's either there or it isn't. She looked at me with disbelief on her face.

She started yelling crazy stuff into the Air like Edrea some how tricked us all to thinking she was meant to stand in the position of a Luna. Like she was an imposter who stole Flora's title but how is that even possible because my sister will never be Luna unless..

She plans to murder me

My mind started going overload. I wasn't even paying attention to her anymore but before I walked away my sister blurted out something that had me questioning everything.

"And I know she's been hiding her birthday from everyone." My eyes went wide.

What about her birthday that has my sister all worked up? I will have to find out. Though it could be she is delusional but the way she said those next words had me thinking.

"Watch, Watch!" She yelled. "Watch at the ceremony" She then whispers. "I will be the Phoenix Wolf and I will make sure that slut will never becomes Luna" I repeated the words in my head. Why would my sister call her a slut? Why do she want to stop her so bad from becoming Luna? Why does she want to control this situation? I asked myself as I walked back to my room.

I stopped as I caught a glimpse of my Mate hugging that young warrior again. I growled bawling up my fist trying to stop my wolf from surfacing. I turned and walked away, leaving myself heaving at the sight I just witnessed. I finally calmed down and laid on the couch.

I couldn't sleep as I thought of my mate comforting another all day as I tried to busy myself with pack work. I finally decided to go to bed but every step I took I thought of my Mate hugging someone twice in less than ten minutes. I felt possessive, I wanted to rip his arms off. But I couldn't jump to conclusions even though my sister calling her a slut rang through my mind.

Edrea finally walked into the room like she was looking for something or someone. Probably looking to see if she could sneak back in after hugging on another man. Again!

"You can have the bed" I scrunched up my face smelling the young warrior on my Mate. I was seething at the thought of it.

"Did I do something wrong?" She asked all innocent like. I busted out laughing sarcastically because she don't know she's been caught.

"Wrong? No.. If you don't see anything.. then I don't either" I replied with stubbornness.

"Alpha" she started to say before I cut her off

"Augustus" I turned to face her. "You are my Mate, Do not call me Alpha and take off those clothes! You smell like him!!" I growled I knew she caught on because she went silent for a little. She could sense my jealousy and hurt but I didn't care. She's my Mate and I'm going to have to put a stop to her touching other men. I don't want nobody else's scent on her but mine. At this point I didn't care if she was an omega. She was mine and mine only.

She laughed and started to walk towards the door. I became raged with anger. How could she laugh at my pain and then try to leave. I took deep breaths before saying anything. I was right behind her at this point. "And where do you think you're going?" If she thinks I'm going to let her sleep somewhere else tonight, she is madly mistaken. She says nothing but laugh again. "What's so funny?" I growled loudly with more anger than I wanted to show.

"You are" She replied boldly. I was shocked to say the least. "You think I have a thing with Marcos but I don't. We are old time best friends. We grew up together until Marcos moved to another pack. After that we haven't seen each other or talked until today." she blurted out. I started to walk away again but I pulled her into my chest. As I put my face in her neck and kissed it, happy she didn't push me away.

I didn't want her to leave. I needed my mate in my arms every night from now on. "Don't go, I apologize for letting my anger get the best of me and judging you." She relaxed in my arms and I took her hand and lead her into the bathroom.
