    It takes a long time before Selene continues. Normally that would make me feel anxious or jumpy. And


    I am not a fan of it now either. But, in an environment that is as peaceful as this is. I cannot feel too


    anxious.


    “I have seen a rise in chosen mates in the recent five years or so. Not situations where you lost an


    earlier mate. Or if you never found your mate and fell in love with someone. No situations where wolves


    think they can find a better wolf than the one I picked out for them” Selene suddenly starts, and I blink


    at her in confusion.


    For most of my life, I had an opinion about chosen mates just because you think you can do better too.


    Still, I do not see what this has to do with my situation.


    “Davides from a long line of chosen mates. You A Hemming on. the other hande from a


    long line of people who stayed loyal to their loyal mates. Even your great–grandfather who found out he


    had a human mate, and even more special his human mate. The one who did not grow up with the idea


    of ever finding a soul mate that was created for her” Selene continued and I could not hold back the


    scoff.


    Because where Selene is now praising me for my honorable heritage. with my human great–


    grandmother. It was one of the main reasons why David rejected me. And it was the main reason why


    most of the pack

    had whispered behind my back. It fueled the bullying, even if I now believed it was because Hannah


    never got over her petty little jealousy, not even when David had rejected me.


    “I know what you must think, I truly thought that having a mate so close to him. One who he grew up


    with, that it would stop him from rejecting you. Sadly I was wrong, both in David’s capability to love and


    in Phillip‘ s capability to let his family make their own decisions.” Selene looked guilty and I still had a


    lot of questions left. I sort of got why I was mated to David and what it would bring him. Or would have


    brought him if it was not for him rejecting me? I still couldn’te up with anything David could bring


    me. Nothing that was in it for me so to speak.


    “What would have been in it for me, what made David the perfect mate for me?” I asked Selene, unable


    to hold back even with her looking as guilty as she did.


    “Nothing, only he could give you. You are meant to be a Luna or, the Luna of all Luna’s but I figured


    that outter. There is a reason why sometimes mates get rejected. Or that some mates turn out to be


    terrible. All of you still have a free will. All of you will develop your personality. And those personalities


    will either make the paring better or worse. It is not an exact science” She pauses speaking for a


    minute to smile a nostalgic smile.


    Almost like she wishes it could be an exact science. That she could. make sure every mate would be


    as perfect as Griffin is for me. Weirdly, she is the Goddess. The one I have been told to honor and


    praise for all

    of my life. But as we are sitting here speaking she doesn’t seem unreachable or untouchable. She


    reminds me of a young mother. Who is still finding out what she needs to do to best raise her pup/?


    She tells me all about mates, and how she hoped I would be the one to save the Blood Moon pack.


    How her heart hurts every time she sees a pack failing. The longer she speaks the more I get her


    reasoning. David might not have been right for me. Not even when I tried to believe that he was. He


    could have made me happy if he had tried better. If he would have been a mate like Selene intended


    mates to treat each other’s.


    He would have never made me as happy as Griffin is doing now. And his first fated mate would never


    have made him so happy as I make Griffin. But it’s not like we would have known about each other and


    what lives could have been like. You cannot miss what you never heard. So the four of us wouldn’t


    have been unhappy. We would feel like we had all we could wish for.


    Just looking at the carnage that had happened now showed how much better the Kingdom would have


    been if Selene’s first n had worked


    out.


    Now that I had her next to me and she seemed to be so eager to speak I wanted to take advantage of


    the possibility.


    “Okay, I get that you cannot stop people from changing and bing crappy mates. Or even rejecting


    mates but why do you punish the rejected mate? When David rejected me and I was hurting like that. I


    felt

    abandoned by you” I asked her and her face fell.

    “It was not meant to be like that, the reason I made a way to reject your fated mate. Was to make sure


    you would not feel the bond, the sparks if your mate was unworthy. Alling back to the fact that I


    foolishly thought that you would all be so happy with your fated mate. That no one would ever reject


    their mate, not unless they had a very good reason to do so” She says and she gives me that same


    sad smile she has given me a few times.


    While it is still weird to see the Moon Goddess so humanlike sad and vulnerable. It does make sense


    why wolves that get rejected hurt so much. It was meant as a punishment. Not punishment for getting


    rejected as much. But punishment for being someone so bad, so vile that not even your fated mate was


    left with another option than to leave you It could have been beautifully poetic if only Selene had fully


    taken our free will into ount..


    And talking about free will she had told me a lot but nothing that had made me rethink my want to get


    back to Griffin. I was shocked and sad about how things turned out. Deep down I wished that Selene


    had made me and Griffin fated mates at the beginning because it would have saved me a lot of pain


    and trouble. I couldn’t change the past, and since it had led me to Griffin I wasn’t too sad about it either.


    “Selene you said you would tell me something that might make me reconsider wanting to go back and


    be with Griffin. But nothing you said so far those. Because honestly, part of me is still hoping you just


    hurry up so I can go back to Griff, you know I think he needs me.” I tell her

    Her smile is radiant now and bright as she looks at me. Before telling me to listen closely. For a few


    seconds, I have no idea what she is talking about. But then I hear it, Griffin’s voice in the far distance.


    “Come back to me now baby, I need you” I cannot see him, and his voice sounds too far away.


    “He found your body, you’re in aa and of course, Griffin wants you back, but I have put you


    through so much. You are wee to just stay here. And I will make sure Griffin doesn’t hurt too much


    after you die.
