UNEXPECTED MATES

Vonny’s pov I have been crawling in these forests for seven days now. I don’t know where I am or where I am going. All I know is that I am four weeks pregnant already and their father is the reason I am here. What is trust? This question has been in my mind ever since he made our alpha and king banish me from the pack. I tried telling him his twin brother had been defiling me for almost two weeks, but he couldn’t see reason and thought that I had betrayed him and our bond. What happened? What changed? Now I have to find a safe place to take care of my babies for the next five months and give them a good home. I found a cave that was relatively clean and warm to spend the night and rest for a while in. Maybe I will make this my home for a while. I was woken up by growls. I knew I had been found but not by my previous pack. This was a different pack. I could smell them, they were from the far east. Their alpha was a crazy one. He killed rogues on the spot. I just closed my eyes to pray to the goddess to help me through this. I was well aware of how much I smelt like a rogue and my end was death, but I had to protect the cubs in my womb. They are my world. “ Rogue, show yourself!” One of them said, venom dripping out of them. I sighed as I walked slowly out of the cave only to be met with bright golden eyes staring directly into my soul. I gasped as his scent knocked me over, vanilla and pine. “ MATE!” The tall brawny man said, he then took in a deep breath as if trying to confirm something. I knew he could smell the pups in me, I had to say something before he misunderstood. “ You are my second chance mate. My mate had just died, and I was banished because I couldn’t give my mate an heir. After running around for a month, I found out I was expectant. Please don’t reject me, I have no one else.” I said, praying to the goddess for this mate of mine to be open-minded. “ Everybody, this is your Luna from now on. You will treat her the way you treated me. The pack will protect her and her children no matter what. Come little red, that pack doesn’t deserve you.” He said as he took my hand and led me to his pack lands. The other wolves were following behind us as they howled in happiness. He showed me the pack house as he led me to a separate two-storey cabin that was behind the pack house. “ This will be ours after your Luna ceremony, we will keep the kid and I will raise it as my own.” He said and hugged me tightly. This warmth is what I have been craving from Blade, but here my second chance mate is giving it to me, but I don’t feel happy. I hugged him back because he deserves it for accepting even in this condition. “ Thank you. May I know your name please?” He smiles and says,” I am Justin Willow of the Red Emerald pack, and yours my lovely mate?” “ I am Vonny Clara Moon.” I said and saw the light in his eyes shine with affection. He introduced me to his pack, and they all cheered. I was accepted without a fit. I thanked the Goddess I did not have to watch out for any pack sluts, I sighed heavily and accepted my now new life. Months went by, and finally my due date was here, since my wolf rarely talked to Justin’s wolf, he didn’t know about the triplets. After giving birth, he was so mad because I lost my womb and couldn’t give birth to his child. That is how things started changing. He started with emotional abuse when the triplets were just six months old. To appease his anger, I had to name the triplets after him, so I named them Micael Willow, Mirael Willow and Micah Willow. The following six months were peaceful and uneventful. The boys were growing really fast and by one-year-old they could walk and talk a little. Justin got attached to the boys and I thought the abuse was over. Little did I know that my life was about to change and would be short. He changed drastically, as if he was possessed. He tied me up in our room on the bed. He would sexually assault me and beat me during the process. This was a living nightmare, and it had only begun. Days, weeks and months went by until the pack was worried about their Luna. He made up a story of how I was sick with a rare werewolf disease, and I was in isolation until further notice. Nobody was allowed to visit, not even my boys. I just pray to the Goddess to protect them. Five years later, Justin announced my death after a witch severed my bond with the pack. The witch was Justin’s friend, though she wasn’t on board with the idea she had to do it to save her coven. My boys had just turned six years old and Justin decided it was time to introduce them to their dead mother. I was happy at first, but as the days went by I realized what he was doing. I just sat there as I watched my sons being taught how to love their mates by beating them and assaulting them. The first few months were hard for me. As a mother, I cried until there were no more tears. The torture got worse until my wolf gave up and died. Justin felt it, and he decided not to visit me for a while. I am now human. My wolf used to take away all the pain, it seems now it’s my turn. This life has been so hard and painful, I thought that after meeting my mate I would live happily. It all went to hell when my brother-in-law started assaulting me. I knew Blade could feel it, but he never came to rescue me. Goddess, do I really deserve all these? I can’t even cry. My tears are all dried up after crying for years. Crying won’t save me. Three months later, Justin comes back with syringes full with wolfsbane and silver. For a wolf, they are truly dangerous, but for humans, they are strong painkillers and anesthetic. My life in hell continued, my sons following him once a week. I could only hold on for a few years. When my boys turned twelve, I gave up living. A bright light brought me out of my stupor, the woman who stood before me was beautiful and angelic. She had tears in her eyes while looking at me. “ My child, I am so sorry I found you so late.” I gasped, “ My Goddess, I almost lost my faith in you for all my sufferings. Do I deserve it?” I asked with tears in my eyes. I never knew I could cry again. “ No, you don’t deserve any of this. It was my neglect on my part. I thought after giving you a second-chance mate, you could be happy. I am here for you. Please forgive me, my child. I will reunite you with your wolf, but you can’t stay here anymore.” “ What about my boys?” I asked with hope shining in my soulless eyes. “ They will have to go through a lot of trials, pain and suffering before they meet their mates. They are destined for greatness, so they have to go through everything unimaginable to build their will, strengthen their hearts and, finally, they have to learn to be open-minded. Their future has been set. Now let’s go, my child, you have to heal. We will need you in the future.” The Goddess left after saying these words and for the first time in a long time I smiled as I took my last breath. Third person’s pov Justin ran in the cellar where his wife was locked. He felt their bond snap, and he fell to his knees before Vonny’s body. He held her in his arms and let out an overpowering howl. It made everybody in the pack kneel. The triplets fell down crying, they knew what it meant. Their mother is gone and never to return. In the middle of their mourning, the royal pack matched in the red emerald’s pack lands. Alpha Justin was reported to be aiding a rogue alpha who was killing other smaller packs to take their lands and women. Alpha Justin, who had just found his mate dead, was so out of it and didn’t care what was happening. The pack members were taken to the Black den pack, including the triplets. They were just twelve and they were now orphaned. Justin was taken back to the royal dungeon and, after he was locked away, his eyes, which were clouded over and looked merciless, cleared over, confusion and fear could be seen in those bright blue eyes. He remembered everything he did or whatever took over him, did, he wailed so painfully, attracting all the guards. The other cellmates hid in corners after hearing the wail, it was so sorrowful and defeated it could make anyone tear up.
