Elijah
I paced around my office, not sure what to think.
“Chosen Luna? Are you f*****g crazy?” I asked Landon, who lowered his head, not saying anything.
“I f*****g asked you a question. What do you mean Chosen Luna? Do you think that woman is capable of leading my people?
Are you f*****g nuts?” I pointed to my head.
“She’s just as the prophecy was told. A woman is born from a bloodline that is not meant to be known. What else do you need? It also explains why she was able to be there for you when that thing happened,” He explained to me as I shook my head. There was no way that I was letting some w***e be my Luna.
“We will have to perfume the ritual. If she dies, then she wasn’t. It will also save you from the pain that you are constantly experimenting with because of Ashley,” He advised as I shook my head. There was no way that I could let myself into something like his.
“So you expect me to just forget about the fact that she lied to me and accept her as my Luna?” I asked him and she sighed heavily.
“Her people deceived me. I could easily have them—“
“Why are you making such a big deal out of all this? You didn’t even want her in the first place,” He chimed in, jumping off the table where he was sitting.
“What do you mean? I did...”
“You didn’t want her. Now it’s shown that she’s able to continue your bloodline. You are failing to accept it,” He said to me as I swallowed hard looking. Away. What more could I say?
I needed to teach them a lesson about what they did.
“Get out!” I ordered.
“Whatever you want, but don’t you hurt her because she’s your Luna,” He smirked as I growled at him,
Why wasn’t Silas howling and growling when he said that? It’s been two days and his been trying to convince me to perform the ritual of accepting her as my Luna.
I will not accept a w***e in my pack as my Luna. What kind of example am I setting for everyone? That they can be stepped on all over and just show weakness by accepting it?
‘Come to my office’ I linked to Marie.
‘I am out in town at the moment.’ She responded, as I sighed heavily. What was I going to do>? I needed to make myself feel better and just forget about what happened.
‘Let’s take a walk or go for a run,’ Silas suggested to me and I sighed heavily, leaving my phone on the table. I had only one place that I usually go to for my runs or swim.
“I need you to sign some documents for me,” Avery said as I walked past her, going down the stairs.
“Not now, Avery,” I shouted to her, walking away as I made my way out the back, heading to the lake. I wanted to swim and probably just forget about the nonsense that Landon was talking about.
I walked through the woods before I found myself at the edge of the lake and I sighed heavily.
I remember coming here to swim with Ashley the first year when we found out we were mates. I loved making love to her and how the cold water always felt on our skin.
How her silver eyes looked every time we swam here. I took off my jeans and t-shirt, throwing them aside together with my shoes.
I walked over to the lake, and when the water reached above my waist, I dived into the water, swimming around.
I swam around, recalling the day that she got her heat. I made endless love to her on the shores of the lake, and I could feel tears fill my eyes as I closed my eyes.
I swam to the middle of the lake so that I could float in the middle just like she used to do.
A piercing pain suddenly came again in my chest as I growled. My legs felt weak, and I found myself failing to swim.
I try to head for the shore. The pain is just too much. f**k you, Ashley! I screamed, struggling to stay up and breathe.
I felt my legs sinking, and I closed my eyes. This was the biggest weakness that I had. What if someone saw me right now? Won’t I be the talk of the packs? They could use Ashley to get to me.
I inwardly thought as I try to swim up, but I can’t. My lungs hurt as I start to run out of breath. I slowly close my eyes.
‘I need you at the Lake. I am drowning’ I linked to Landen and Declan at the same time hoping one of them would be able to make it before I finally drown.
The pain is still there and I can’t believe that Ashley would be f*****g someone this time of the day.
The pain suddenly subsides as someone pulls me out of the water. I close my eyes, trying to breathe. I am pulled out of the lake and I coughed, trying to breathe.
I want to try to open my eyes and meet with the one person that I don’t expect to find.
“What the hell are you doing right now? I snapped, and she looked aside, not looking into my eyes. She drags herself to the edge of the shore just in her pant and bra.
I follow her behind and walk towards her. Who the hell does she think she is?
“I just saved your life,” she said, turning around to leave, but the pain is back again.
“Ah! f**k!” I yelled at the top of my voice as my claws started digging into the ground again. What was Ashley doing right now?
“Hey!”
She rushed towards me, trying to touch me as I pushed her away. She fell on her butt and I continued growling while digging deep into the ground.
