1396 Words
LIAM'S POV
I knew I shouldn't come. I knew I was going to regret it. The second I stepped inside I felt her, it didn't take long to find her, she was dancing too close to a guy, I could tell he is a vampire, but I knew she was a witch. I am going to kill Adam, his mate is who dragged us to this club, she was all excited about the transition moon, and I couldn't care less about it, but Adam is a different wolf since he met Riley.
"She is ours, is no spell." My wolf cries in my head.
"She is a f*****g which. They are not trustworthy. The Goddess wouldn't do this to me. I can't have a witch for a Luna." I retort bitterly.
"Excuse me! I am not that kind of witch. I like this probably less than you do. So let's get this over with!" She tells me offended. I may be wrong, but I think I can see some sadness in her expression. I quickly shake my own feelings of sadness, and continue.
"I don't believe you! Why me?" I ask her upset. I have to get to the bottom of this.
"I said I didn't do anything, wolf! I don't want to be your other half or whatever you people call it. So let's go outside and get this over with!" Her dark brown eyes look like two flames about to kill. For a moment, I wish that I could accept her, I wish that I could kiss her just once. If I reject her, I may not have a chance at another mate, my pack would suffer my actions, a mateless Alpha is weak, and their people are weak too. I can't do that. Can I?
"No!" I tell her flatly.
"What?" She looks at me in disbelief. My mate is a fiesty one
"If you really are my mate, I can't reject you, that would make me weak and my pack will suffer. A pack is as strong as their Alpha. I couldn't do that to them just because the Moon Goddess made a mistake." I have to find a way out of this bond without hurting my pack.
"An Alpha? Of all people that could be my soul mate, it had to be an Alpha! Unbelievable. My coven would never accept you and your pack? No, let's just start the rejection. I will ease your pain with my magic." She starts suggesting.
"No, look, my wolf won't allow it either. He wants to get to know you. We need to stay together and see what happens. I already told you, rejecting each other would mean suffering for my pack." I explain again.
"Oh, well, if your pack is going to suffer.... then let's stay together, better yet, let me take time back to the moment before I came into this nightclub and stop myself from coming. Would that be easier for you?" That is perfect!
"Really? Can you do that?" I ask hopeful.
"Of course not. Going back in time is as crazy as what you are proposing. I don't want to be mated to you. You are a wolf and I am a witch, that is not only forbidden, but wrong in so many ways. I'll start!" She starts saying.
"Do something!" My wolf demands. as she starts saying the words that feel like I'm being ripped in half.
"I Isabella Altamirano, daughter of the Moon Dust coven, reject you...." She stops when she realizes she doesn't know my name.
My wolf starts taking over, and he pushes her against the wall and starts kissing her, wrapping his arms around her slender frame. It feels like time is slowing down, like an experience out of this world. Her kiss tastes like cotton candy with a hint of tequila.
"Really? with a wolf?" An annoyed voice interrupts our moment. Making us pause and turn around.
"Not your business, Patrick!" My mate, who I now know is Isabella responds.
"Oh, it is very much my business if you start making out with undesirable creatures just because you are drunk." The guy lectures her. I let out a warning growl. My wolf is defensive, and doesn't like this asshole talking to my mate.
"Sit, dog. Let the people with an actual brain talk." The bastard says laughing.
"Never talk to me or my mate like that again!" I finally snap. I may not like that she is a witch, but I can't stand the disrespect. I move towards him, claws out, but I am frozen in place, like I am being grounded to the floor with strength.
"I can snap your neck with just one finger. Learn how to address royalty before you talk to me, and I better not see you touching my sister ever again. She is not your mate. She is reserved." I am growling louder, nobody seems to notice what is going on with the music and light show the moon is putting up, nobody could care less.
"That is enough, Patrick! I can handle my business. Why are you even here?" Isabella asks her brother, she looks upset and embarrassed.
"Can you? Have you forgotten what happened last time?" That seems to make Isabella more upset, and she pushes her arms to the front with strength, sending her brother to the other side of the room.
"There isn't much time. You and I obviously don't belong together. I promise that what I am about to do is what's best for everyone. The pain won't last long, and if I do this correctly, we will not suffer for long." She sounds so serious. I am afraid what she's going to do is going to change my life forever. I know I didn't want her, but after that kiss, things changed. I want my mate, I will fight my father and anyone else.
I am fighting the spell her brother put me under. I can't move and I can't speak, I can't feel my wolf either. Is a lost cause.
"I can't reject you, because I don't know your name, but I can still help us." She holds my hand slowly, almost sweet, and she gives me one last kiss, soft and tender. "Forgive me." She says with tears in her eyes.
"The bond that the Moon Goddess has created may be broken by her children, by rejection, not affection. Tonight will be a dream, and tomorrow forgotten will be. With this spell, our souls are free, and our hearts won't cry. May real love find its way in the future life to be." As soon as she finishes chanting my body unfreezes, I can finally move again. I rush to her, but a bright flash of light coming from the moon blinds me completely. By the time I am able to see again, She is blinking away with Patrick. Leaving me sad and empty.
The transient moon show is over, yet I don't seem to remember what am I doing all the way in the corner of the room all by myself.
"Dude, you missed it! The moon was throwing lights and fire. It was like magic. Riley and I started making out in the middle of it. It was unbelievable. Hey, where's the witch?" Adam is talking nonstop.
"What witch?" I ask him confused.
"The girl, the one with the big... You know, she was wearing a skirt and the small top. Really?" He looks at me like I lost my mind, and I feel that maybe I did because I have no idea what he is talking about.
"You were like hypnotized or something and took after a girl, a pretty brunette. I watched you two had a conversation, and then you were making out pretty passionately. I lost you after that because, you know, Riley is just... wow!" He is pretty smitten about his mate. They have been sneaking around for days because she doesn't know how to tell her friends, she said they are her only family and she needs time to talk to them.
"Adam, come on. Is time." Riley comes trying to pull my Beta away.
"Babe, did you not see Liam with a pretty brunette making out a minute ago?" He asks his mate, hopeful that he isn't the one losing his mind.
