CHAPTER TWO

**Adam's POV

It was a very exhausting day; I was busy attending pack meetings and training, and I could not wait to finally get some rest.

When I left the pack house to my chambers, I immediately went to my room and let my body rest in my soft bed. As I faced up, the blank ceiling appeared in my eyes.

"I, Adam Smith, Future Alpha of the white wolf pack, reject Lara as my mate and Luna."

Remembering the words I said to Lara I felt heartbroken, my wolf hated me for what I said but it had to be done for me to become the greatest Alpha of all time. I can't have a weak mate.

Maybe from what I said, she would understand that I didn't like her. Even if she tried everything, I would never let a weak human be my Luna.

Lara was weak. She didn't even meet my expectations for the mate I had wished for. I didn't know why my parents wanted her to be my Luna. I did everything to be as powerful as my father, and then the one who was supposed to be my Luna was far away from having the strength I wanted.

That was unfair on my part. Some other girls had the power that would make all men turn. But how the hell, among those girls, did the moon goddess choose that pathetic weak human as my mate?

From the very start, she shouldn't be in our pack, I hated it when my mind kept reminding me of her.

One knock on my door brought me back to life.

I got up and walked to my door.

When I opened it, the cold wind blew in my face. "Adam, was Lara here?" It was Lara's mother.

I opened the door widely to show her that Lara was not here.

"She didn't even come here."

"She told me before that she would be here. she wanted to talk to you about the ceremony plan."

"She was not here," I lied. I had been with her a few hours back and rejected her.

When I said those words, she cried out loud, and before she fell, Henry carried her mother. I arranged myself just to give them sympathy for the things that I didn't have any idea about.

"What happened?" I asked calmly.

"We don't know where Lara is. She disappeared."

I fell silent when I heard those words. I remembered what I had said earlier. Did Lara do that?

"Have you checked anywhere she could go? What about her friend's house?"

"She didn't go to anyone. She wanted to come and spend the evening with you. Besides, she only has one friend, and she was not with Alice," Henry said. Before I could say any words, he carried his mother who couldn't stop crying away.

I went outside and talked to Henry.

I just need Henry to tell me everything he knows.

"I was not sure about this, but what if Lara jumped off the cliff?"

"What? No, she would never do such a thing." I said immediately, even though I wasn’t sure about it.

"Did you tell her something that would trigger her?"

"No, of course not."

I had. I had told her everything. But I never thought of her doing such. But what if she did?

I remembered all the hurtful words I had said to her earlier.

Was this all my fault? Did she feel hurt by what I said to her? I rejected her as my Luna. But I only said what I felt.

"I would take the responsibility to search for her." I said using my Alpha tone.

"Please, Adam." Lara's mother begged.

Henry told me more about her sister's disappearance. He told me, someone saw Lara cry and go somewhere. When the moon came, they looked for her, and my place was the last place they searched for her.

"Please... Please, bring my sister back. My mom would be sad if Lara never came back."

Lara was not his real sister, but he loved her that much.

"I will find her soon. I hope I will," I said in a low voice.

After that conversation, I went back to my house. I wanted to have a good night and sleep peacefully, but how could I, if I was worried about that weak human?

I had rejected her and wished for her to be gone. But now… I felt guilty for what I did, I felt like my heart was torn out of me.

I couldn't control myself, my wolf wasn't stable, he loved Lara even if I didn't, he charged at me for what I did but it had to be done. I know he won't let me sleep and deep down I know I had to trust my wolf instincts.

I changed my form and went to where Henry told me she was last seen. The wind blew slowly, while the moon brightened even more. My silver fur showed its power.

There was nothing on my mind right now except for the urge I needed to find the mate I rejected.
