His Unloved Mate

Chapter Three

    I ran through the streets of my neighborhood. The sky was pitch black but I could see everything perfectly. I kept running, still having no Idea where Lola was taking me. I ran out of the neighborhood and straight into the woods I winded trees and took turns and I had no idea where they lead to. After a couple straight hours of running I still wasn’t tired. It felt amazing just being able to run for fun and not worrying that I wasn’t fast enough and would be late coming home. I shuddered off that final part of that thought. One more hour passed and I made one last turn which took me to a house larger than my school. I Was amazed with the house but was quickly shaken from my thoughts when I was tackled by a large black wolf and was pinned down. My wolf started whining and so did I. I was so scared that I started shaking. An unknown voice of a man became present in my head.

What are you doing on my land! The voice yelled, making me whimper louder than before.

I...I don't know this is my first time in this form I don’t even know where I am. I’m not here to hurt anyone, I just need help. I pleaded hoping that he heard me and I wasn’t just talking to myself. The wolf moved off of me and shifted into human form. He was naked so I looked away allowing him to cover up. I turned back around and saw a man in his late forties maybe. He started talking in my head again.

What is your name girl and what pack are you from?

My name is Jean Bluemoon. I don’t know what you mean by pack. What am I and how am I a wolf.

You don't belong to a pack . So you’re a rouge!

What is a rouge?

Wow you really do know nothing. What is wrong with your eyes girl? The man asked, making me really self conscious.

I have two different colored eyes in human form is that what you are talking about?

Yes normally that sort of thing doesn’t transfer to your wolf form. His eyes got really big for a moment. Why are you covered in blood?

I turned into my wolf form for the first time a few hours ago. When I did I attacked and killed my father. 

Why?

What do you mean by that?

Why did you kill your father?

It would be easier to explain if I was in my human form.

You don’t know how to change back do you? 

No I don't, could you tell me how?

Of course. You have pictured yourself as a human; it's quite simple actually. But before you do that let me get a blacket for you. The man ran inside and quickly came back with a blanket “You can do it now.” I did as he said and in a split second I knew I was human again. The man handed me the blanket and I wrapped it around my bare body. The man looked completely shocked by my human form.

“ How were we talking in my head?”

“ oh that is called mind linking. I was surprised we could communicate because you are not a part of my pack and pretty sure that we aren’t related. That means you must be an alpha.”

“ Oh.” I am still very confused.

“ Why don’t you come inside and get dressed. I think I can trust you.” The man said helping me up. Now that I was in my human form I was really weak and could barely stand on my own. The man picked up and carried me inside of the massive house. “ What is your name?” I asked him. 

“ West Knight.” he carried me to a couch in the living room. “ What made you come here Jean?” West asked while laying me down.

“ My wolf said that she would take me to my mate. What does that mean?” I asked but he ignored my question. 

“ Your mate.”

“Yes.”

“ In order to be able to track your mate down you would have had to have met them.”

“ Ok are you the only person that lives here?” I asked, still wondering what was going on.

“ No, I wouldn’t be much of an alpha if I had no pack.”

“Ok, if you're the alpha do you know who my mate is?” I asked with hope creeping into my face.

“ No girl but you will once you see him. Let me go round up all the males in my pack that have not met their mate yet. I will be right, just sit tight ok.” I nodded my head and watched the man walk into what I think is the kitchen. A couple of minutes later West came back into the living room with a young girl around my age. “ Jean, this is my daughter Rose. I have asked her to lend you some clothes so the men of the pack won’t see you with only a blanket on.” The young girl nodded and reached for my hand. 

“ Hi.” I said and took her hand. She helped me up and assisted me while we walked to her room. After about five minutes we arrived at what could only be her room. She sat me down on her bed and walked over to a very large closet. She glanced at me and nodded 

“ You will look very beautiful in this.” She pulled out a yellow form dress with cutouts at the sides and gold rings by the belly button. 

“ Thank you for this. Should I be nervous?” I asked her and she started to giggle.

“ No sweetie. You are very beautiful and no man in their right mind would reject you.”

“ Reject me?” I asked, raising my eyebrows a little.

“ Oh right I forgot that you just found out that you are a wolf. Don’t worry about it won’t even matter.” she said and handed me the dress. She helped me up and walked me to the bathroom. She was about to leave when I blurted out “Could you help me?” she seemed confused by this but quickly agreed. She closed the door behind her and stepped towards me.

“ I promise I won’t peek.” she said and smiled. I dropped the blanket and she yelped.

“ What is wrong?” I asked but quickly remembered my new scars and all of my other ones. I was about to try and run but she wrapped me into a bear hug and I started crying.

“ How did this happen?” she asked with a lot of emotion in her voice.

“ My father was a very bad person. He never loved me and would never let me forget that.” I said choking on tears. “ Don’t tell your father I will do that myself.” She just nodded and gave me another hug. When she pulled away she picked up the dress and helped me pull it on. I looked at the cutouts on the sides making sure my scars weren’t showing. To my surprise nothing showed. Rose looked at me and cupped her hands over her mouth.

“ You are incredibly beautiful.” She helped me walk out and we made our way to the living room. While we were walking I noticed that she had a small tattoo on the nape of her neck. It was a small red crescent moon. “ every person in the pack has to have one.” she said, apparently noticing that I saw it. I nodded in understanding. When we got closer to the living all I heard was a bunch of male voices. We rounded the corner and the room went dead silent and I feared that I did something wrong. All the men in the room were staring at me which made me very uncomfortable because there had to be close to 500 men in that room. Finally West broke the silence to explain why he brought them all here. “ This is Jean Bluemoon, I found her on our territory and she told me why she was here. Miss Bluemoon turned into her wolf form for the first time tonight. Her wolf told her that she needed to find her mate. Her wolf led her here. You are all here to see if she is your mate if she is not please leave the room.” West finished his speech and all of the men that had a good look at me left the room. It took about ten minutes to get down to the final fifty or so. The men filtered out until one stood. He wasn’t facing me but something about him was familiar.

“Dad I told you I already found my mate.” the man that was left behind spoke and my jaw dropped. I knew that voice and when I heard it I blushed intensely. “ Roland?” I asked my voice quietly. He turned around and the beautiful face that I had run into earlier today appeared in front of me.

“ Jean?” he asked, his silver ears staring upon my body. I felt my mind sharpen and I felt my wolf go crazy

Lola what is it?

It’s him, he is our mate! 

She was so excited. My chest was on fire. In a good way. Roland ran to me grabbing my face and bringing mine to his. How had I not felt this earlier.

You didn’t feel this earlier because I wasn’t fully awake then.

Roland lifted my face and Pulled me into a kiss.
