Chapter 5


    Chapter 5


    Sadie had note out of her shock yet but I didn’t me her. I did not look at her. The only thing I did


    was stare at the moon.


    The moon was bright and calming but I was feeling the opposite of what the moon was.


    Sometimes I wonder why the moon goddess gave her creations the ability to reject their mates.


    Mates were supposed to be your only refuge, something you can’t do


    without.


    Werewolves had forgotten that mate bond was a way for a ersom to find their other halves. Now, they


    look at backgrounds, bloodlines or something else when looking for a mate. The mates given to them


    by the moon goddess has a higher chance of being despised if their background or their bloodlines


    doesn’t make it to their mates’ unknown bottom line.


    In this kind of world, I would rather choose who I want to be with after I have taken a good look at them


    than sumbing to the mate bond again. It is not like I don’t believe in the moon goddess, I just don’t


    want to be hurt again. The pain of a broken mate bond isn’t an easy thing to endure and it isn’t


    something I want to reexperience.


    Sadie finally calmed down. She sat beside me before taking my hands.


    into hers.


    “Is it because of that scu mbag alpha’s rejection?” Sadie’s voice was choked with so bs and I felt sorry


    for her. She shouldn’t have been brought into my mess but she is the only one that mufgt be able to get


    what I needed so I took the selfish option of informing her.


    “Majorly.” I manages to croak out and Sadie patted my hands softly in a bid to console me.


    “You know that guy from my pack that had been wooing me?” She asked as she looked away from me


    to join me in staring at the sky. I missed to acknowledge her statement.


    She had told me about the alpha that chased her fervently without any regard for her unsavory


    background and status.


    I was so happy for her when I hears it because Sadie deserved a burst of sunshine amidst the gloomy


    atmosphere herck exuded.


    “He will find a way to get you the little but of wolfsbane you need. I just


    want to confirm something. Are you really sure you want to do this?” Sadie asked as she brought her


    eyes back to my face.


    “It is what I want.” I said quietly. It is either this or extreme pain and suffering.


    Sadie nodded and stood up. I knew she was about to leave. Wolfsbane was a product controlled by


    those in power. It won’t be easy to get it. “Sadie, don’t stress yourself out. If you can’t find any


    wolfsbane, you can stop searching for it. We would find another alternative.” I advised before I shifted


    into my wolf.


    I began to run back to my pack.


    After I got to the Silver Crescent pack, I snuck back to my home.


    I took a refreshing bath before rxing on my old bed.


    My mind couldn’t help but go back to the stranger I had a one night with. That night was the first time I


    felt so free and uninhibited. That stranger had loved every inch of my body in a very memorable way.


    Besides, I thought my wolf, Diver wouldin but she didn’t. She was silent all through except for


    when she purred when I saw our one night stand descending from the VIP or VVIP area upstairs.


    ‘Silver?’ I called. She answered me back enthusiastically and my mind settled down. I would not want


    something bad to happen to my wolf because I decided to indulge myself. It would have been a painful


    exchange no matter how I loved the stranger I had a one night stand with.


    A quiet knock reverberated through my small house. It brought me our of my thoughts.


    I stood up to check the door. I don’t know who would want to visit me at this time. Besides, nobody


    comes here except to issue jobs and the like.


    I had outgrown the expectation of someone visiting me because they liked me.


    I opened the door to see alpha Jake, my former mate. His blue eyes were still as enchanting as they


    had been the night before but for some reason, I didn’t like them as much as I previously did.


    “Hello alpha Jake.” I said as I bowed down slightly. I would not want my pack’s alpha to punish me


    because of setting as trivial as the respects for alphas.


    Alpha Jake’s eyes scammed my body thoroughly and I began to feel


    ufortable. It was not like the stranger’s hot gaze fromst night. While the stranger’s gaze excited


    me, alpha Jake’s gaze made me feel like ants were crawling along my skin.


    He held me up as he righted my posture. When he finishes, I took a tiny step back. I didn’t want


    anything to do with him.


    Why would alpha Jakee here secretly to meet a shewolf he had already rejected? I knew his


    motives for being here won’t be pure but for now, I had to listen.


    He was more powerful than I am. I was just s weak omega. Going against him in a frontal action won’t


    be wise.


    “Alpha Jake, what can I help you with? I am about to go do my chores.” I said in a soft voice. I tried to


    hint at him that I had things to do even if the action might be futile.


    “Avery, I know my rejection was a bit harsh but I am willing to make it up to you.” Alpha Jake said and


    horror began dawning on me. This shouldn’t be what I am thinking it is. Alpha Jake should not destroy


    the good impression he had on me previously.


    I took a deep breath, “Alpha Jake, why would you make it up to me? It is natural for you to reject me


    because I wasn’t up to the standards you set for your chosen mate.”


    It pained me when I said it was natural for Aloha Jake to discard what didn’t fit his whims but I said it


    anyway. I would do anything to make him leave right now.


    “I am leaving this pack two days from today and I want you toe with me. I know you don’t get along


    with Lily. Don’t worry, I will caution her. All I want is for you yo take me as your mate.” Alpha Jake finally


    expressed what he came here for and it made disgust rise up from the pits of my stomach.


    Alpha Jake wanted me to follow him to his pack to be his concubine while Lily takes Herr rightful ce


    as his Luna. A concubine that would never see the light. A concubine that would be ridden with side


    talks and


    rumors.


    I stumbled back, “What?!”


    I had suspected his motives when he appeared. I didn’t know one of my worst nightmares will stille


    true.


    I could not believe I had wanted to take this disgusting scu m as my lifelong refuge. Now I could


    understand why the moon goddess allowed


    her creations to reject each other.


    If I had yo spend a lifetime with a scu mbag like aloha Jake, I would rather run away ormit suicide.


    I stabilized myself with my doorframe as I observes the insect tahr called himself an alpha.


    I couldn’t actually reject him here brcauose there was nobody around to stop him if he daecides to


    force himself on me. Besides, even if my pack members are around, they wouldn’t stop him.


    They would say it is my bewitching face that caused this scenario. They would a not lift a finger to herlo


    meq.


    My pack’s alpha might even give me out as a gift to improve hiosa rtions with alpha Jake.


    “Alpha Jake, give me more time to think about it.” I said after a long while. Alpha Jake took a long ko ok


    at me before leaving. He knew I had no room to reject or object so he felt at ease but he didn’t know I
