Fated Or Doomed

Trouble

Liv

We enjoy a nice ride home. Despite all the other mess. And how we left the pack. We return better than before. Even a heat couldn’t keep us a strain. No matter how much I wanted to stay mad. Or tell my mate all the truth. All the fake lovely happy s**t he so easily believe. I wanted to tell them how it won’t last as long as they dreamed.

Yes I still have this dread over me. Bigger than ever. I hate that I feel I can never give it all to my mate. Never an enough. I wish I can be better and do better for them. And on an odd day I’ll sorrow my anxiety of it all elsewhere. But for now. I will give it to my mate. We left happy and I intend to keep it that way.

So long nothing else pops up. I can only hold on so long. Being in this heat does make the time fly by regardless my disaster to bring in our home. And all I want is to be around them. The remainder of the time, I will give them my all. Stay at their side.

The guards lets us in. We park up the car and right when we got out. A loud ruckus was heard.

Both Travis and I give each other a look. Following people running towards an area. We follow.

So much to a no problem today.

Pushing through the crowd we can see two males arguing. And a female yelling at them both.

“What is the meaning of this?” Travis shouted.

“He slept with my girlfriend.”

“She wasn’t yours when she yelling out my name most nights.”

You see a girl shield her face of embarrassment.

“You took advantage of my girl!” The boyfriend roar.

“Well I won’t say I took..” Said one male proud of his smug comment.

In a second the males begin to fight. Throwing punches after punches. Travis push them apart before it could get any worst. I took the lead to railing the witch male.

They lash out more while the girl yells for them to stop. She didn’t deny any actions on her part.

“Stop it now!” She yelled. The wolf growl as Travis and the girl holds him back. You can see his eyes flicker at the witch.

She whisper something to the male. He never stops his harsh graze at the witch who smug proudly at him. Travis lets go when he sees he’s calm from girlfriend’s words.

Lies. I heard a comment slip her mouth. Making the wolf lash out. Before they attack I knock the witch down. Swinging my arm out to bring a force to push the wolf back. His feet dragged just inches back. Snarling his teeth at the witch who chuckles words at him.

I kick dirt on his face. “Shut it!” I tell him.

I order the wolf couple to dealt their s**t in private. While the witch goes home. No more out bursts. Or else.

I honesty didn’t know what my ‘or else’ comment meant. What the hell should of done.

In the lost of my mind. Cherry’s b***h ass walks to me. “You see. I told you this wasn’t gonna work out. They’re gonna wipe us out easily in our s..” She whispers.

I snap my head. “Is there something you’d like to say!”

“Oh I have said it. Again and again.” She chuckles. “Tell me. When will it happen Luna?”

“When will what happen?”

“When will the beast attack our people? By means it seems anytime now. How are you gonna defend them huh? A little magic won’t help. Not when they shift.”

I step close in her space. My eyes glow red in full exasperation. “If I were you Cherry. I’ll shut my mouth and go home. Otherwise you can pack your s**t and go while you still have a chance.” I smile sinisterly at her. She flinch back. As I hit a nerve. “You are on thin ice dear blooms girl. The word of your bullshit is spreading more than your damn legs. You won’t be able to find a home then. Nor a man.”

She goes to try to slap me but I caught her wrist. Tightening my grip, nearly snapping it. I push her back and walk off. Leaving her to rub her wrist.

Travis wraps his arms around me. Once inside I push him aside. Unable to deal with more s**t after the Elders visit. He whispers my name. Telling me to slow down. But I don’t until I leave out of everyones sight. Close to his office he pulls me in. Shutting the door hard.

Travis

Clearly frustrated with everything that has occurred these last few days. She toss herself on the couch. A heavy breath leaves her purest lips.

I walked over my desk. Grabbing the letter Mason texted me about. I saw nothing on it but the packs name. I scan through it. The handwriting is familiar to me. Yet this time this person doesn’t seem to be our ally. They have more of a threat in their words.

“Ugh. They almost got each other killed. We need to enforce some rules. No. Maybe. We need to do something before we lose it all. This isn’t working like I thought.”

I brought my head up. Listening to her concern. I shove the letter under some other mail. I didn’t want her to worry about it. Nor know. It would only add on, she’s already feeling more trepidation

“Maybe so but it’s like that naturally with their own kinds anyways. Some rough housing may be what they need. I’ll invite them to one of workouts. No shift, no magic. Hand to hand combat until the problem is solve.” It was an old school way. But hell it always works.

She seat up quick. “To kill each other? Are you serious?” She didn’t approve of it. Hated to see us wolf fight like that. So we stopped since she moved in. She wanted peace. And beating each other like that wasn’t peace she says.

I chuckle as I try to ease my mind away from the letter. “The circle is for fun. No one dies. And hey? Maybe this is a start of something good baby.”

“Good? How..” I run may hand to hers. She pulls away.

“This can be a start. We have made a change. They’re getting along. Hell I’m sure there’s others f*****g around as well. And with this. Who’s to say Goddess won’t bless us to be the first start of hybrids. Well maybe just mates. We can’t say if breeding will created. But it won’t be just us. Plus We’re the safest pack.”

“Safest.” I see her think for a moment. “You know what. You’re right. This is a good thing.” She chuckles from the conclude of her mind. “Maybe we should pray to the universe to allow this to happen.”

“Ohh really?” I smirk.

Happy to see she didn’t go straight to a fight. I never win with her. Feeling proud I grab her hands and intend to escape our minds from all of this s**t.

Ring Ring

Beep Beep

She grabs her phone sending another quick text to whom been texting and calling obsessively. I ignore it in the car while I thought of this letter s**t.

“It’s him. Isn’t it?” I growl.

“No. It’s Lou.” Looking at her phone. “I’m grabbing Gamma and leaving the grounds.” Sending another text.

I grabbed her phone and pin her to the couch. She frowns. Yelling at me to let go. “I don’t trust Gamma anymore. And right now isn’t safe for you to leave. Lou can wait.”

She pushes me. But I fought her. “Stop it Travis!”

“No! You’re not leaving!” She pushes me off her and hurries to her feet. I met her face and she grunts at me. “Don’t Elizabeth.”

Just the thought of her away right now is unbearable. Someone can be watching her. Or us. Gamma is pregnant and won’t protect her Luna like she should. She has failed way too many times now. So her insisting this train s**t now. Is bullshit. It trigger my protection for her.

“It was me not her. She was following my orders. Now stop. We’re not having this fight again!”

She goes to leave but I grab her arm. She turns back yanking it away.

“She can’t protect you! You’re staying!”

“Yes she can!”

“No she can’t!” I shouted in anger. Malcolm tries to surfaces. Just as angry as I. Her shoulders drops when she sees. I take a deep breath. But my jew clench hard. “Gamma can’t shift. I don’t want you anywhere without me right now..”

“My heat is contr..”

I raise my voice to stop her. “I don’t trust them! Lou! Xion! Or Gamma! You’re staying here! Not out there! Not with them. And not near their f*****g pack where he can..”

“I can protect my God damn self!” She gets in my face and we breathes her down. “I’ve lived without a wolf protecting me for years! I don’t need one every second of my remainder life!”

“You will now!” I demanded.

Yelling the words I see I ticked a nerve. She bites the inside of her mouth and nod. We knew how she felt. And she knew how we did too. She just didn’t know the real reason why. And it’s not the heat or them.

“I blew her off once. I’m not doing it again. I’m going..” I growl her name. “Whether you approve or not ALPHA!”

Before I knew it she storms out. I don’t bother to chase her. I knew better. Regardless of my aggressive need to keep her chain up at home. After the Elders, the cast, and everything else leading up. She would of found a way to go out to meet Lou.

I texted Gamma.

“Protect her or don’t come back!”

In seconds Elizabeth text me.

“We’ll be back before dark. Gamma and I.”

I knew that last part she had to be scowling.

I stare at her text. Thinking how it may be her last. Thinking that this morning may be the last time we touch her. Kiss her. Hear her say I love you and us saying it back to her. Or how this room was the last place to ever collect her perfect scent to hold. And most likely keep me hostage if I shall lose her today.

It traps my heart and mind.

My feet takes over and I sit at my desk. Just there. I look for the letter and crush the envelope, throwing it in the trash. I hold the letter itself and read it over again.

Dear Alpha and Luna of Black Harvest.

Or should I just say Alpha.

I’m sure my words may not faze or even come across your mind. We all know there’s others out there who feels the same as I do.

Some of us are waiting. For you. For her. I guess you can say you are always being watch. Everything you do is heard all around.

Even secrets come up the surface sometimes. Even the really, really kept secrets.

Your peace of home you tried to adjust to will fall. The other ends are coming. If you do not take the action to do what’s right. Do what Moon Goddess intends for you to do.

Those who follow her shadows will make sure you do.

You are friends to the end of all love if that’s what you call it. Keep telling your hybrid lover the sweet words your father whisper to your mother once. All the promises and dreams. The safety, the love. The worship. The world.

Ends.

It will end. It will fall.

It’s not you Alpha. Not your life. She cripple you. And will do so your pack.

It’s her. It’s them. All of them. And they will all burn if they don’t go. Give it up. All of it. She’s gonna be your fallen empire. She will destroy it all. You will be left on your knees when it’s all gone knowing you should of walked away the moment you saw her.

She will die soon. Just like the others. If only you allow your brother to live and give him what’s yours. You could of live on for say. Maybe she would have a chance. With you? Or not. You’ll be force out your ways soon. Your brother could of helped but she made you think he wanted no peace. Now you have no family. Because of her.

Either way the time is near. Her death is plaster over the world. Her name branded on soldiers to hunt her. Her people. And anyone near their way.

Be smart like your father. Find a better woman who can give you more. Leave your so call mate and start the life your father fail to. Don’t be the reason you get your mate kill. Don’t be your father.

This is not about strength, brain, or love. Be the Alpha your pack always known. Think of them. The wolves. It is only and should always only be the wolves.

Be ready for what will happen. The lost if you shall fail in Moon Goddess’s eyes. She sent her own soldiers to protect her children. Even if a few have to die in doing so.

Be wiser son of former Black Harvest Alpha.

The person who wrote this letter was wrong. And right.

Both Elizabeth and I have gotten many threats. I have gather most. I wanted her focus on the pack and the coven. Her mental health is tipsy. This should be my issue. Unless it’s more than issue.

Any threats. Anything at this sort I ignore them. They don’t faze me one bit. I know it can faze her. Her mind has worst ideas. She has said worst to herself. Others will just make it worst on her. She’s known to pushing others away when she sees herself as a problem.

“She wouldn’t be able to handle this. Not this. Not now.”

So much has already happen. I can’t tell her. And when she asked in the car. I said it was nothing. I shield her from this. She’ll flip. She’s always ready to just go.

“She’ll stay. For love.”

“I hope.”

Remembering all our fights. She believes we’re better without her. But we’re not.

“Her past is bad. She still needs time.”

“And in time she will get.”

“We can’t hide this forever.” Malcolm says.

“I know. I know.” I scoff to myself. But I try to tell myself it’s for her.

This threat was different from the others. That I know. This hit home. This person knew something. They knew about Devin and my father’s affair. No one knows about it. Only that Elizabeth killed some heir. Not all.

“You figured out who wrote it?” Mason’s voice caught me off. I didn’t hear him come in.

I was too lost. I saw every threat happen in my mind. It made me think if this is how it is for my mate.

“Is this how everyday is with us for her? Are we hurting her?” I asked my wolf.

“All we are doing is protecting her in all ways we can. We’re her mates. It’s our job.”

“How does she go on? With the nightmares? What if one tells her to leave us?” I feared.

“She won’t! She’s our mate. She loves us.”

A hand touches my shoulder and I jump. “Ah man, did you heard me?”

I blink a few times before I hand the letter to him. My leg shakes aggressively as Mason reads it again.

“Who will sent an actually letter to threaten you two? Everything digital now.”

I point to where it reads about Devin and my father. Mason just gives me a look.

“It’s someone we know isn’t it?” He asked.

“Only a few people knows these things.”

“So..?”

I look up at him. “Don’t trust anyone. Not a single soul.”

Mason nods. Agreeing with me.

“What did Liv say about it?” My eyes drop. Mason shook his head at me. “Travis?”

He suck his teeth and I grab the letter back. Staring at the handwriting. I still couldn’t tell who it was from.

“Who else knows about this letter Beta?” I asked him. Keeping my voice firm.

“Just me and you.”

I tilt my head to the side. Giving him a stone look. “Keep it that way.”

“Alpha I think it’s good Luna is aware of this threat. Where is she anyways?” Stepping closer to my side.

I take a slow breath. Remembering she’s off with her so call protected guard who can’t shift while she walks some unknown land, in the middle of her heat.

“Her and Gamma are out.”

“Okay well when they return we all should have a meeting and..”

I slam my fist on the desk. “No! Elizabeth is not gonna know about this. She has way too many..” I point to my head.

Mason nods. He puts a hand on my shoulder. “Her mind is her worst enemy. But hiding this from her..”

“She’s my mate okay! I will decide whether she knows or not. So for now. Keep this between us. And if another letter comes. Do the same.” I ordered.

“Another one?” He asked.

“I doubt this will be their only one. There’s always more.” I scoff slightly.

I look up at Mason with my hand on my jaw. Giving me a look I seen way too many time. He thinks the same when it comes down to his sister.

We don’t argue much but with Elizabeth it’s different. He has known her practically her whole life. While my wolf and I only knew her the variation of our bond.

I don’t know how Mason has done it all these years. It’s only beens months with Elizabeth. And I’m terrified and hopeful all at once. I wanted her love until my death. I will bring stock of our enemies heads for her. All I wanted in life since I knew my mate existed was to do whatever it took to keep her. I didn’t want to fail her. Not like how my father felt with my mother. I wanted to fight for and with her. Even in our dark times.

It’s her.

I am grateful we have this bond to connect with. It brings me security. But at the same time I know for her it’s a different story. She had a past and I get it. She pushes us even after our devotion to her with our mark. She wishes it didn’t exist. The bond. I try to respect it but God damn it. It was so hard at times.

I go to Mason for advice. Her best friend, her brother, and now her Beta. He knew her better than anyone. I hate it honesty. My stubborn Alpha mission had me pushed so many opportunities for us to have. All because I didn’t want anything to do with a witch. I regret it more every day.

Mason’s advice is wise base on her. It helps when all things fails. And I know he said he wanted to step back as her brother and step up as her Beta. But at times I know he couldn’t just look away. I’m still trying to be okay with it.

When she pushes Malcolm and I away. I know she’ll pull to Mason and Oliver. And now with her growing relationship with her Gamma. Now when she turns pass either of us, it’s Gamma who she goes to.

I’m still hurt by it. So is he. But since our knowledge of her, it was one of our goals to get them bonded before her taking. I shouldn’t be so jealous but hell. I am.

Malcolm wanted our mate to relay on us. To need us. For whatever outcome she has. We wanted to be the one she goes to. But we’re not. She pushes and distances herself. Leaving us to feel at failure so soon.

We promised and promised to fix it. To do better. And I only hope we don’t break that promise.

“Elizabeth comes first. In anyway or shape. For her. We will do whatever to ensure she’s okay.”

He nods in agreement. “You know she’ll only fight you on it. She will always believe everyone is worth better. She was never put first. That feeling. She doesn’t accept it.”

“She will now. Since the woods. She will.”
