The Cursed Mate

One day

Millie
Star speaks in my mind
Star: “He is our mate and I hate him.”
Collins or Blaze?
Star: “Poor Blaze, he knows me and he mourns for us.”
We already know he will reject us...but we are strong. Besides he only has to acknowledge us not accept us...and I will never forgive him.
Star: “I know Mina. Go look in the mirror. I need to see the real you and me for just a minute.


When Star felt my sadness creeping in she would always suggest this to remind myself who I was. The witch had given my mom two mirrors as a gift to me. She had seen I would need it in the furture. One was a full size that she kept in her bedroom at home and the other was a small compact. When I was younger Mom use to try and convince me I was exactly as I seemed but I knew something was wrong. When I shifted way too early she had to tell Jim and I the truth. It was then she gave me the mirror. More then once when I considered ending it all Star would give me hope by looking at my true form. Hope when I started to believe the lies. When I felt worthless. I hide in the bathroom stall and took out the pretty little pink mirror that had been broken half a dozen times but always fixed itself somehow. I look in the mirror and see my true self.


My name is really Mina Darkmoon. The oldest child of King Rolfe Darkmoon and heir to the throne. My true form has fire red hair and emerald green eyes with gold flicks. I have a powerful aura. Only a royal would have these traits. No other wolf had fire hair or gold in their eyes unless they were of royal blood. And then there was Star. Star is twice as big as any Alpha. She has black fur as dark as the night itself and a golden crescent moon on her forehead. I can feel her heart race and her pride bloom as she looks at her true form.


“One day Star.”


Star: “One day Princess Mina.”


My peacful moment doesn’t last long. Ashley, the current toy of Collin yells at me as I leave the bathroom. I don’t bother listening and try to head to class. Suddenly I am slammed into a wall and someone starts dragging me towards an empty room. I can’t scream. Star gives me her strength to fight. It is Eric, the future Beta. Ever since he hurt me at age 15 he has been trying to get me alone again. I scream in my mind linking my only friend. “Gray help!” He is there is seconds, almost like he knew where I was.


Gray: “Millie there you are.” 
He takes my arm and saves me again. I have lost track of how many times he has saved me.


Grey bows respectfully to Eric as he hides his hate. “Millie, We can’t be late for Mrs Beans class and she needs us to work on the alpha’s project.” I look up at him so grateful as we head to class. Once we are away from Eric he speaks. “I’m sorry Millie, I was almost too late this time. I got caught up in class. It won’t happen again.” Since that day he walked behind me back and forth to class. He made sure he was always close. He had seen every beating and heard every insult. He was the one who found me that day. The one that carried me home and helped me bath. The one who held me as I cried all night. How I wish the moon goddess had gifted me him as a mate instead. I smile and hug him whispering “thank you” before I head into class.


Star: “I love him.” 
Who?
Star: “Grey and Silver.”
They aren’t our mate Star. I wish they were but we aren’t that lucky. 
Star: “Maybe” 
I swear sometimes I think my wolf is delusional.
