Chapter 6 Choices And Rejection

"EXCUSE ME, Kevin, What is she talking about?"

"She is telling the truth, she is......my mate."

"Well, you are my boyfriend, so....."

"It's doesn't matter, I always chose you, Jen, you're my one and only. You'll be my Luna and I'm sure this pack will love you and you will treat this pack as your own children." Just then a woman appears and walks up to us with a big thing and before we can say anything she hit the thing on the ground, then an aperture slowly appears, a portal opens up. Out steps the council members, the council would decides what happens in the realm, they are like judges.

"Council, what are you doing here?"

"We have seen and heard enough." The woman takes off her cloak and reveals herself. It's the 4th council member. You see there are total of 6 council members, each one is ruler over a realm, the Vampire realm, the Witches realm, the Fairy realm, the Benders realm, the Human realm, and of course the Werewolf realm. The realms all benefit from each other and rely on each other during times of hardship, we all live in perfect harmony because of the council.


"It has come to our decision that the title of future Alpha shall be removed from Kevin Richards and given to Amber Richards." The shock on Kevin and Jen's faces is not surprise, but the Alpha also looks disappointed and sadness on Luna's face is evident. Ames sure isn't happy either, she never wanted to be Alpha, she always wanted to find her mate and be Luna of his pack so, I'm sure she is cursing herself right now.

"May I ask why?"

"Simple." The council member points at Jen. "She is not your true mate."

"Yes, that's true but, I love her.

"You wouldn't know it's love or not, even if it hit you on the head, you're far from love." Ames states.

"And you do, HA you don't even have a mate."

"But last we spoke, Amber did have a mate, and again we are so sorry for your loss." they tell Ames, Loss? what do they mean loss?did Ames mate die and I didn't know? Everyone has a look of confusion on their faces. "Well then, we must go. Amber, I believe your parents have told you about the Alpha training that you will attend, we expect to see you there in a week." With that, they leave the same way they came.

After the council leaves, we all look at Ames and begin to question her. I mean she had a mate for Goddess sake and she didn't tell me!!!! I mean, I guess she didn't have the chance to tell me, I was in school back then so, oh wait, she did tell me, he was the one who was human. I always wondered what happened to the guy.


We all sit in the living room as Ames begins the speak.

"His name was Ryann, I met him during the first year of college. He was one of the professors there and I was his student. We knew no one could know otherwise we both be torn apart from each other and not just because of the whole student-teacher thing so, we always hid our attraction and feelings toward each other until classes is over. The mate bond was so powerful, that at times I would just go see him in between classes and sometimes skip some of my classes, he knew I was a werewolf and he accepted me still, that's what made me fall in love with him even more. The night he was killed, some kids were robbing one of the stores on campus and Ryann was in the wrong place at the wrong time and so, they shot him. When I got the call from his roommate, I nearly dropped to the floor from the shock. When I got there, it was an ugly sight, they shot him 20 times, and then to make sure he was dead they slit his throat."

Ames is so strong, I didn't know this but I can understand why she would keep this from everyone. She dries her tears from her eyes and stands up and walks towards the door.

"Now you know why I keep pressing the mate bond talk. You don't want to wait until it's too late to tell your mate how you feel. The Moon Goddess gave us mates for a reason, mates are the best thing happend to us." She opens the door. "Are you really willing to throw away your position all for a silly little fling with the biggest slut in the school?"

"But this slut has her man and yours is gone, shot in the ground." All I see is red in Ames eyes, her claws come out and Jen hides behind Kevin. This would be the number 3 way to die, death by an object in arms reach.

"Ames, calm down, go for a run." She takes off in the woods, shifting in midair. Luna closes the door behind her.

"Look, now I am your mate and rightful Luna to this pack, but you keep doing this and everything you have worked for will be gone in an instant. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to find Ames."


"Ames, Ames............are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Ryann, I was afraid I would have been expelled if I told anyone, plus you know it's forbidden for a werewolf to be with a human."

"It's ok, I'm not mad. I understand why you kept the relationship a secret so, how long did you and Ryann in a relationship?"

"We dated for 2 years, we actually met in the summer before college. He was leaving out of the coffee shop when I noticed he left his keys and when I went to return them he bumped into me coming back into the shop. From there on we talked and talked and hung out a few times, I could tell he wasn't a wolf, he smelled different, I didn't mind though. Ryann then asked me out after a few days and then on the last night of summer he told me he was starting his teaching job the next day and likewise, I was starting college meaning we wouldn't be seeing a lot of each other but, we would try. So, you could imagine my surprise when I found out he was a professor in one of my classes, I walked in and sat in the back hoping he wouldn't notice me but, as soon as he started roll call he knew it was me. We tried to hide our attraction to each other during the day but, when it was after hours and everyone left, we couldn't keep our hands off each other. But, we made a rule to tell no one otherwise if someone found out then that would be the end of his teaching career and I would be expelled and I couldn't let my parents hear that. I mean granted they would be proud that I found my mate, but to be expelled, not so much. Two years went by and Ryann told me he got another job, in the next county with better pay and better benefits, and finally, we could tell everyone that we were in a relationship but, fate has a funny way of interfering. The night of his murder I was going to the store to pick up flowers for his Mother when I got the call. A group of boys was robbing the store on campus and they had shot the store clerk and another customer and him. So, now you see why I want Kevin to be with you, after all, you are his mate. Mate make you stronger, when I was with Ryann I felt nothing could stop me and he felt the same."

Just then we hear footsteps and then...

"Amber, how could you just run off like that?"

"Really Kevin, that's what you came out here to ask me?"

"Ok, why are you trying to defame Jen, she did nothing to you?"

"SHE IS NOT YOUR MATE AND DIAMOND IS!!" Kevin looks at me.

"I knew since I shifted a few days ago." Being a rare wolf means I can shift a little early. "I been meaning to ask you, what is it about her that I don't have?" I move closer to him and run my fingers over his chest.

"Diamond, you know she's my girlfriend and I like her. Why are you rubbing my chest?"

"If you don't like me and don't want to have anything to do with me, then i will stop, i will leave you for good and never bother you again," I fought back the burning feeling in my eyes, but suddenly, his eyes are trained to my lips and the next thing i know he is kissing me possessively. I hear Ames gasps besides us, then she talks in my head telling me good going and she will try to distract Jen long enough for me to talk to him.
