The Blinded Luna

CHAPTER FIVE:

Meg’s POV

I stood there staring into my mates’ eyes, I had been thinking about the moment I would find my mate for years. Everyone always said, it’s magical, the scent, the tingles, the draw to them. Well, I hadn’t realised until I saw him that it was his scent I was picking up on all day and many times over the last few weeks. Lizzie had been blocking me from knowing until I turned 18 and now, I find out my mate knew all these years I have been here! Probably from day one of seeing me three years ago and he hasn’t told me!

“Meg, please, I couldn’t tell you. We had to wait until you were of age.” He sighed and I snatched myself away from him turning my back on him.

I hear a low growl from his wolf Loki, which in turn upped my anger.

“YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO GROWL AT ME LOKI!?” I scream at him as I turn to face his huge wolf eyes filling William’s face.

“Meg, please.” William pleaded with me, his eyes flickering between his own and Loki’s.

“MINE” Loki growled and stepped forward to reach for my arm.

I spun on my heel and manoeuvred away from him, the hurt on his face shocked me, but I couldn’t help feeling my anger and pain at knowing he was here all along.

“DO NOT TOUCH ME LOKI! I NEED SPACE!” I growl back at him, although it was a low growl as Lizzie had gone to the back and was not willing to be hostile towards our mate.

I ran from William as fast as I could on my human feet and headed straight for the pack house. I could hear William running behind me but giving me enough distance to respect my need for space.

I ran through the front door and was aiming for the stairs, but Ellie was stood there with John.

“MEG!” Ellie shouted, as I pushed her out of the way and rapidly got to my bedroom, slamming the door and sitting against it.

I sat there for awhile in the silence in my darkened room, listening to the rain hitting my window. My mate, he was here, he was my alpha, everyone knew! Ellie had hidden it from me as well as William, or she would never have signed over my guardianship. I wonder how many people knew. Xander, Phillip, Grandpa Ron? They were my closest relatives, even though none of them were my relatives. Grandpa Ron was John’s father, but he took me under his wing and treated me like a granddaughter, Xander and Phillip my surrogate father’s. They all must have known, Xander and Phillip went to Purple Star for me, they left their home at Red Moon for me. Why didn’t I see it before? Was I really so stupid? The only reason they would have been good about me leaving home would have been if I left with my mate, not college! College I could have just commuted, but no I was here at Jewel Diamond because they all knew! I was so dumb!

“I’M AN i***t!” I screamed to myself, standing to head to my bathroom.

A knock on the door came just as I reached the bathroom. I went to it and could smell his scent before I even opened it.

“WHAT?” I growled at him as I opened the door. Subconsciously scolding myself for treating him this way.

He looked miserable and tears were in his eyes, “Meg please, I didn’t want to lie to you, you were so young.”

I slammed the door in his face and ran to my bathroom, slamming that door behind me too. I got in the shower and sat there crying to myself until it went cold. I was angry at myself for treating my mate so mean, but at the same time I was furious at everyone else too. Emotions were ripping through me as I replayed the last three years of my life. I had a major crush on Alpha William ever since the first day I met him and now I know why. I felt even more stupid now because I didn’t recognise why I had such a crush on him.

‘It wasn’t time for you to know about him Meg, you were underage. He could have been sentenced for being with you before today. You need to listen to him Meg, you need to listen to me!’ Lizzie sighed at me as I climbed out of the shower wrapping a towel around my freezing body.

‘Shut up Lizzie!’ I moaned back at her and pushed her to the back of my mind.

I knew I was being mean, but I was hurting. I’ve never really been a girl of romance, never really bothered about finding my mate and just always thought if I do, I do. This last year I’ve seen some of my friends find their mates and it looked amazing, I had started to feel like I would like to find mine, it looked like they were the happiest they had ever been. Yet here I was, miserable and heart broken at the betrayal, probably been the laughingstock of the adults that knew as well! Stupid teenage girl didn’t even know her own mate!

“AAARRRHHH!” I thumped the wall and stormed out of the bathroom.

Another knock came on the door, this time it flew open and in ran Daisy.
