100 Days With my Ex's Uncle

Luna I don’t know whom I should hate more. Levi and Sabrina for breaking my trust and cheating on me, or I myself for being blind enough to not see their true nature behind the mask of lies. I sighed while gulping a big jug of beer. I should have known that they were cheating on me behind my back. I should have known. Why do bad things only happen to me? I hate when everyone who is important to me in life eventually cheats on me. “I hate all of you." I mumbled, laying my head on the countertop and sinking down in my misery. The weight of betrayal and heartbreak felt suffocating as I drowned my sorrows in alcohol. It seemed like a never-ending cycle of disappointment, leaving me questioning my own judgment and the worthiness of love. Desperation filled my voice as I whispered, "When will I find someone who won't break me?" I don’t want to wake up; all I want is for this to be a bad dream and nothing else. I don't want to see Levi cheating, and I don't want Sabrina, my best friend, to break my trust by sleeping with my boyfriend. I don’t want a life where I’m alone with no one by my side. I want to love. I want a family of mine. “Can I have one more beer?” I asked the bartender as I tried to drown my sorrows. The pain of heartbreak was overwhelming, and I hoped that another drink would temporarily numb the ache in my chest. “I don’t think you should drink more." I heard a voice from the left of me say: I turned my head, staring at a handsome stranger who seemed to be staring at me nonstop. “And who are you to stop me?” I said, taking the jug of beer close to my lips, but the jug was taken away from my hand before it could touch my lips. “How dare you?” I said, trying to take it back from him, but he held it firmly out of my reach. “Calm down; drinking is not always the solution to escaping your problems.” He said, taking a sip of the beer he took away from me. “If you want, I can ease your pain a bit,” he smirks, with his fingers touching the palm of my hands. I pulled my hands away from his touch, feeling a mix of anger and confusion. "I don't need your help," I snapped, my voice trembling slightly. I shook my head. Even if I am drunk as hell, I can’t let this man take advantage of me. "Leave me alone." I stood up from the barstool, my vision slightly blurred from the alcohol. "Wait, you can't leave now,” he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me to him. I struggled against his grip, my heart pounding in my chest. “Leave me alone,” I said, punching his chest, but he was too bucky for me to handle, and my fist started throbbing just from a punch. He smirked, tightening his grip on my hand. Panic surged through me as I desperately searched for an escape route, my mind racing with fear and adrenaline. “She said…leave,” A voice came from the back, and two arms pulled me away from the bucky stranger. I stumbled backwards, relieved to be free from his grasp, and struggled to catch my breath. “Who are you to interrupt?” The bucky stranger said, trying to pull me to him again, but the newcomer stood firm, his expression unwavering. "Leave; I don’t want to repeat myself,” he said, as if his words worked like magic and the bucky dude finally left. I wanted to thank the man for saving my ass today, but just as I turned my head, everything started to dance in front of my eyes before it all shut down and turned black. ********* Andrew “So, how long are you planning to stay single?” My friend and my beta Lucas, brought up the same topic that he brings up a hundred times in front of me. “I will when I find her.” I sighed, repeating the same damn words I said to him. Lucas nodded his head. “I know, but you also know that finding a mate is not as easy as one might think; some wolves couldn't even find one in their whole lifetime.” “I know, but I still wait,” I repeated, taking a big chug of my favorite whiskey. “But you also know that a pack needs a Luna and an heir to run our bloodline.” Lucas continued. “You know what? I need some fresh air,” I said, escaping from the conversation and walking away from him. And just as I was making my way downstairs, a faint smell flare my nostrils—a smell of something so different yet very pleasing—and I let my nose follow my step, walking one step closer to the person with the pleasing scent. Following the scent, my feet brought me to the bar table, where there was a human female who was having a guy. Everything seemed good at first, and I wanted to intrude, so I stood close to her, hearing all the words. Never in life has a human smell so amusing to me; her fragrance electrifies all my senses; maybe she is the one I was trying to find all this time, my one and only mate. But along with her pleasing fragrance, I can also smell her sadness in her mood; she is sad about something. Maybe that is the reason why she is here drinking all alone while everyone else is enjoying their lives. “Leave me alone.” I heard the female shout as she was sitting, grabbing her hands, and pulling her to him. She punched the chest of a man trying to escape, but he was too big for her handle alone. “She said... leave,” I said, freeing her from his grasp and pulling her to me. “Who are you to interrupt?” The nasty man said he was trying to pull her away from me. "Leave; I don’t want to repeat myself,” I said, and with eyes dark as my wolf tried to take control over my body, fangs appeared in my mouth, and before I could say anything, the man left. Good thing that he left, or my wolf might destroy him into pieces for laying his hands on my mate. Her hands touched my shoulders, making my wolf calm down. I stared at a person whose scent was so exciting to me. My eyes stared at her, and within a mere second, I knew that she was one for me. But before I said anything, she turned limp in my arms, her body going completely still. Panic surged through me as I frantically checked for a pulse, relieved to find that she was still alive. As I held her close, a wave of protectiveness washed over me, vowing to keep her safe no matter what.
