Emma's POV
I woke up in pain, which makes sense considering I almost died last night. Rogue life is awful, even people who claim to be your family will turn on you, which is why I have learned not to trust.
I try not to move, because even with supernatural healing it would still take a while to heal the deep gash in my side. Damn, rogues. I think to myself, purposely trying to anger my wolf.
"Rude," my wolf Olivia chides in my head. I smirk knowing my plan worked. I put up a mental block not wanting to deal with her bullshit. After a while of just laying there, I start to get up but wince at the pain, trying desperately to ignore it because I knew that once I ate, I would heal quicker.
I shifted and started to search for deer or some other animal. Accidentally, I walk onto pack lands, and my wolf starts singing and prancing around in my head, I try to come up with a reason why she would be like this, momentarily distracting me from my predicament.
I am snapped out of my thoughts by a howl, and something inside me screaming at me to run towards the sound, but I know that the pack's warriors would be there soon to capture, torture me for information, and then kill me if they wouldn't do it immediately.
I start to run even though I know I won't be able to get away. I get corralled in by wolves and they just stand there, waiting for me to submit. After ten minutes of useless growling I shifted. One by one, the wolves shifted and put on shorts, while I didn't care whether or not they saw me, and made no effort to cover myself.
The one reeking of the most power looked at me and I met his gaze, showing that I wouldn't submit. But then my wolf took control and next thing I know I hear, "Mate."
Well, s**t. Then I gave in to the pain, and passed out.
Aiden's POV
For the past five years I have been searching for my mate, hoping she would be everything I ever wanted. But I didn't really care, all I knew I that I couldn't become Alpha until I had my Luna. Which meant that if I became Alpha I would lose my freedom.
I don't like commitment, I don't want to be tied down to just one person, sometimes it's more fun when you can be with anyone you want.
That's the downside to being a werewolf, you have a mate. Or at least that's what I thought my whole life until I saw her for the first time. When I heard the word, "Mate," come out of her mouth, I couldn't be happier.
My jealousy kicked in when I noticed that she wasn't wearing anything in front of other males, and not even making an effort to cover herself, then she fainted.
My heart stopped, when I noticed the blood seeping from her side. I secretly vowed to kill whoever had dared hurt my mate later, then I put my shirt on her, picked her up and ran as fast as I could to the pack hospital.
It had been a few days and she still hadn't woken up. The seconds seemed to go on forever, and I began to think she may never wake up. The doctors kept saying
"Any day now," but I think they were just saying that because an angry Alpha is never a good thing. I had her moved to my room, for my personal comfort, and secretly vowed stop sleeping around. I kept praying to the Moon Goddess that my mate would wake up, while my wolf, Damien, just whimpers constantly.
Emma POV
I woke up in an unfamiliar place, normally I would've been trying to run, but instead I felt at ease, because my mate's scent covered everything.
Wait, MATE! I suddenly felt the need to run, get out of here, away from him. I opened the door, and was met by a very happy girl who introduced herself as Jasmine. She seemed nice enough. I was lost in my thoughts when I hear Jasmine say, "Luna, are you okay?"
I cringed at what she called me and replied, "I'm fine, and my name is Emma not Luna, so please stop calling me that. I'm not your Luna, I don't need a mate, I only need revenge, then I can die peacefully, and be reunited with my family."
She stared at my pity lining her features.
"But Lu--I mean Emma," she started, "You can't leave, Alpha needs you."
"She's right you know, we can't leave him, he's our mate," my wolf stated, not caring whether or not I got angry.
"Bullshit," I snapped at her, "He's your mate, not mine, and if he tries to stand in my way, I'll kill him too."
Olivia whimpered, knowing I wasn't lying and blocked me. I decided to play along and try to get info, so I replied to Jasmine with a swift,
"I guess you're right. So what's he like?" I asked Jasmine. We had been talking for twenty minutes and she has been dodging the topic the entire time, and I'm curious.
"Well..." She began, "He's impulsive, but he cares about the pack."
Her brief explanation had me even more curious, What is she afraid to tell me?
"So what's his dating life like?" I asked, honestly curious. She paled as if she had seen a ghost, and I only got more interested. "You can tell me, it's okay",
I told her trying to sound comforting. She quickly shook her head. My patience had run out,
"TELL ME," I said in my Alpha tone. She started talking, and I listened intently.
"He doesn't have a dating life... He says he doesn't like commitment, so he just sleeps around instead," I growled and she flinched before continuing, "If it makes you feel any better he hasn't slept with anybody since he met you."
I smiled at her, praying to the Moon Goddess it didn't look as fake as it was. "Thank you for telling me."
I ran back to my room, and started to sob uncontrollably, I couldn't help it. After ten minutes of crying, my mate barges in the room with a worried look on his face,
"Are you okay," He asks, "Did someone hurt you?"
"Yes."
I quietly replied. He growled, and visibly shook with anger.
"Who?" He asked, trying to control his wolf.
"You."
