Werefate

Chapter 14

Lucus:

I am just so angry at her. I know she is hiding something. I couldn't stop the words coming out of my mouth.

I am f*****g livid with how she was talking. And in the moment of heat I uttered total nonsense.

I don't know what the f*****g thing to do. I need to make it right.

I cross the border towards my pack . If someone knew that I have crossed the border without permission, it could lead to war. But it is about her. Always about her m.

She makes me mad and makes me do things which risk everything and everyone, and I will do this in a blink of my eyes.

Once I reach my home, everyone is there wishing me a happy birthday.

I don't want to even celebrate because she is not here. She is always there for my birthday. She gifted me those custom-made t-shirts and I love it.

She is the first one to wish me when she messaged me on the pager.

She knows who she is to me. But something is stopping her and I have to know what.

She would never have left the pack voluntarily. I need to get to the truth.

" Happy birthday luke. " I heard Ashley's voice.

I feel guilt towards her. She is just an innocent bystander in the making of fate.

" Thank you Ash. " I reply. It was just so awkward talking to her now. I don't even know what to say to her. What I can do to get us all out of the cluster I made? A cluster we all made.

" Now you don't even want a hug? " she looks at me with tear-filled eyes.

" Of course Ash. " I hug her. My wolf didn't like touching her or any other unmated woman. He wants to be with the one who refuses to even acknowledge us. It is all just sad and depressing .

" You got your wolf? " she ask when I immediately let her go.

Something in me wants to refuse to tell anyone about me getting my werewolf. I haven't told anyone.

So the thing is, we gain our wolves after we reach the age of eighteen. We can get them the day of the eighteen birthday or we can receive the wolf after a few days , months and even a year. It depends on the person.

" Not yet. " I reply her.

" Then why lucus. Let's give each other a chance. " Her voice was begging me.

" Ashley, this will never happen. You need to understand. I have always seen you as a friend. I was just a confused, hormonal asshole teenager. I shouldn't have played with fate. I never want to lose you as a friend. After you gain your wolf you will know what a mistake it is of us to be together." I tell her as gently as I can. Breaking someone's heart is always hard. Now being an alpha, I am responsible towards her too. She is my packmate.

" Let's give us a chance please. Now Vanessa is also not her to change your mind. Give us a f*****g chance. " she sounds desperate.

" What do you mean? Why will Vanessa not being here will change my mind? What is going on? " I ask her.

" I need to go. " She turns around but I don't let her. I grab her arms.

" Did you tell something to your sister to make her leave the pack? " I ask her in my alpha voice. My wolf is getting angrier by the second.

My alpha voice should compel her to tell the truth.

" I. " she mumbles.

" WHAT. THE. f**k. DID. YOU. SAY. TO.HER? " I couldn't keep my calm. I could feel the party coming to a halt. I could feel hands of Ted on my shoulder as if to prevent me from attacking her, to keep me grounded.

But she said something to Vanessa that made her leave. I need to know now.

" She is behind our break up. I know that. She always comes between us. I need space from her and her nonsense. So I asked her to leave to give me my life back. To gain you back. To have my parents all by myself. I asked her to promise me that she would return only when I'll ask her to come. " she utters these words like a vomit she couldn't stop.

I couldn't even speak to her. I was that angry.

" For once and all. Vanessa was never the cause of our break up. You knew I always belonged to her. That's the first place you wanted us to date, right? Let's face it. You are my best friend and you will always have a special place in my heart. But you were always jealous of her. You knew she wanted me and we both were dumb enough not to see it. So you took the opportunity to have something she values more then life . " I shout in her face.

" Don't behave as if you are in a pedestal. I may have approached you but you were a willing participant. " She reply back.

" Yes, I was a f*****g fool. Damnit. But you should have thought before you made her leave. Her biological parents abandoned her. Her f*****g fear is getting abandoned like that again and you made her leave. Why Ashely? Don't you love her ? And it was never her that made me leave you. You and I aren't compatible. Even if Vanessa was not there, I wouldn't have been with you, Ashley. You need to realize that and grow up." I couldn't see her face. I was f*****g angry at myself.

I left her alone in that pack. But I can't do a thing now, so I go to the jungle. My parents stopped me to ask what it all about but I didn't want to speak to anyone so I just leave. They may have heard the desperation in my voice that they don't even question.

I take my clothes out and change into my wolf form after I know that no one was following me. It has started coming to me like it was my second skin. I am born to do this. My wolf barks as if telling me it is you f*****g i***t obviously it's going to be easy as breathing.

I stroll around the jungle. I hunt for a prey just to take my anger out on someone. I eat until I can without having to think about my calamitous life. Then I change and go to the beach. The place that was always ours.

I return to my house in the morning. My parents knew I wasn't in to mood to talk so they left me be.

I help my mom to clean all the mess. I do my homework. That's when I start feeling her pain. Since the beginning of when I can feel her pain I was just ignoring it as best as I can because of my f*****g alpha pride. And because it isn't f*****g possible to feel the emotion if your mate so early.

I ignore her pain the whole evening too. But I swear I can feel her pain increasing by the minutes . It was agonizing. I could feel her reaching out for me. I know it shouldn't have been possible. That werewolf only feels each other's emotions only after mating, but nothing in our bond has been regular.

I try her cell once again, giving up after it just went to bloody voice mail.

My wolf starts to pace in my mind. Something was seriously wrong with her. So, before I do something harsh, I call West Zane, the alpha's son of Zanedom. He was reluctant to let me visit at the beginning of the night time.

I just request him that it was just a visit to my packmate. He must have heard some urgency in my voice when he agreed.

As I am reaching the border I get a call.

I stop the car in the sideway and see Vanessa's dad, the beta of our pack ,my godfather Arthur is calling me.

" Hello son. Sorry to disturb you. I know it's a big day. But.." he sounds hesitant.

" You can call me anytime you know that uncle Arthur. " I try to make him comfortable.

" Vanessa needs you. You need to get to Zanedom as soon as you can. Please kid help me out. " he sounds so in distress. I could feel the wolf on my skin.

" Is she alright?" I am f*****g scared now.

" Just come here as soon as possible."

" You can tell me anything. " He says, and then I hear a agonizing sound of my mate whispering Lucus. That's all it takes for me to leap into my wolf form and reach towards my mate.
