Chapter 10: Chapter 10- The better
Three months later -
Do you know the feeling when you are angry, frustrated, irritated, and lonely at the sa ti but still can’t endure soone’s presence? The last three months were hell for . Layla and Matt(with his mother) went to the crescent moon after a week they found their mates. They tried to convince
to shift with them, but I declined their offer till mate ball. Ellon and Mia told
that they would talk to the alpha king about
joining their pack, but I declined their offer also....{I don’t like the idea of being bullied by the royals}.. they tried to find sothing about the vampire attack, but they got nothing. Ellon promised Alpha Aiden, on behalf of the alpha king, that if sothing like that happened again, then the alpha king would himself co and look into this matter.
Being a royal wolf, Ellon knew about many things about rejection and mates. I told him about the secret of my scent. He told us that if soone rejects their mate moon goddess blesses the rejected one with sothing, but still, he promised
that he would find more details about rejection for my help.
After Layla and Matt departed, I dedicated all my ti and energy to the warriors’ training. I trained to surpass all my limits and cleared the warrior’s test after a month. Everything was going fine, but things changed when my weird dreams started becoming wilder and wilder. I have not told anyone about these nightmares because I don’t know how to explain this.
Sotis I dream of that similar insane man experinting on soone, but I was never able to understand and hear anyone except the whimpering and painful groans. Every ti he did so experint, I felt the pain, but once I was awake, everything vanished as if nothing had happened. These dreams are the major reason for my anger. I try to stop myself from thinking about them, but no matter what I do, my mind wanders to those dreams again and again. I feel so suffocated and irritated.
Many things have changed that I have not told anyone. I can feel myself getting more robust with each passing day. My speed and strength increased trendously. My senses are similar to the other werewolves now, but still, I don’t have a wolf.
Initially, I was concerned about this, but then I rembered Ellon’s words and convinced myself that the moon goddess gave
werewolf abilities in return for my mate. I have also felt the changes in my nature, and this is sothing that I cannot hide from others. I cannot tolerate soone bullying ; one day, I had an insanely ruthless fight with Stella. I don’t rember the exact things because I was beyond angry and out of control at that point, but I rember very clearly that Stella had to stay at the infirmary for an entire day, and after it, alpha Aiden punished
with double training and duty, but that was not the punishnt for . After that fight with Stella, no one tried to bully
or even called
a weirdo.
Ethan doesn’t behave like the jerk that he is. Instead, he gives
longing looks whenever he sees , so I try not to co before him. I don’t feel any effects of mate bond, so I don’t care what he feels and does now. When I joined the warriors, I left the pack house and shifted to the orphanage with the alpha’s permission and with the mate ball’s preparation. It was not a monuntal task. Beth doesn’t act an to
anymore, but I can’t say we are friends. The day she told us that I used my command on her, I never tried once to talk with or befriend soone. Mrs. Black made a rule for . I had to have dinner with them at least once a week, and no matter how much I wanted to deny her, I couldn’t, so that was the only interaction I did with others.
The only day I feel a little cheerful is the day when I dream of my parents. I knew these were just dreams because, in those, I saw myself playing with my parent’s wolf, but those were enough for
to keep going. We were attacked twice after the last attack, but these were just rogue attacks and hence didn’t get much attention from the royal pack.
Irrespective of , every mber of the blue moon pack is on cloud nine for the mate ball. I am glad that I have enrolled for the warriors training, or with the current state of my mind, I don’t think I would have been able to tolerate the commotion going on here. I looked at the clock and sighed in relief as it was five o’clock in the morning.
I quickly got up from my bed and went to the bathroom to take a quick bath. I changed into a black tank top, jeans, and a brown leather jacket and wore my specks... {I am used to it}... I took my bun stick and removed its top cover to see the hidden silver blade in it. When I was sure about its sharpness, I again covered it and tugged it in my bun. Then I took the sharp silver claws from the cupboard and put them in my pocket. I tucked a few silver knives into my jacket and boots and ca out of the room.
"Will you please bring a chocolate for ?" I heard Diego’s voice behind
when I was closing the door. Diego is a five-year-old pup who ca in the blue moon pack when he was 2 years old. His father was an alpha and is a good friend of our alpha. He died in an airplane crash with his mate, and alpha Aiden took Diego under his care. When I shifted to the orphanage, Diego got my attention on the very first day. He is the youngest pup in the orphanage and is often bullied by others, and this bullying is one of the primary reasons we bond well together.
"And why would I do this, baby?" I teased him, and he pouted.
"I am not a baby, addy," he said to
stubbornly, and I laughed.
"Complete your howork on ti, and you will get your chocolate," I told him and pinched his nose.
"Pinky promise," he said adorably and extended his pinky finger towards . I sat on my knees and locked my pinky finger with him.
"Pinky promise" he gave
one of his dazzling smiles, encircled his arms around my neck, and hugged
tightly.
"I love you, addy," he said and snuggled more into .
"Take care, dee, don’t fight with soone, but if soone bullies you...you have my permission to kick their asses," he giggled, and I kissed his forehead "now go and take so more sleep," I told him, and he nodded and went inside his room. I smiled and walked out of the orphanage. I started walking towards the eastern borders, few people crossed
as they were going to the training ground, but each one of them practically ran away from
as if I would eat them alive. I was a lowly human for them until a few months back because I had never stood for myself, and now when I have stood up for myself, they are scared of . I smiled and took those ’silver knuckle claws.’.. {this is the reason why you should not test soone’s limit}
"Aadhya," I heard Ethan’s voice and turned towards him. Rejection is neither easy for
nor for Ethan, but we both dealt with it in our own ways. I made myself more potent than ever, stopped thinking about what others say about , and did everything I wanted. I even stopped using that fake scent while Ethan did the stupidest things. Every ti he saw , he gave
longing looks, and I bet he tried to sniff my scent many tis. I don’t know for sure, but his decreasing weight and constant dark circles made
think that he is not even eating and sleeping properly.
"Ethan," I told him, and he ca near
and took deep breaths but sighed in defeat after a few seconds.
"Dad called all the warriors in the warrior’s training ground," he said, and I nodded and turned towards the training ground while he walked along with . "so, how’s life going?" he asked .
"Good," I told him, still fixing the claws.
"So, piercings and tattoos, huh," he told , proving that he was giving a lot of ti to observing . I humd in response.
"Can you tell ?" he asked hesitantly after a few minutes.
"What?"
"You are dealing with rejection very well," he said hesitantly.
"Yeah, I don’t want to spend my emotions and feelings on soone who is nothing in my life," I told him, and he flinched but didn’t ask anything after that. After a few minutes, I broke the silence. "Staying away from
will help you," I told him, and he stopped with a jerk while I continued walking. He ca running behind
after a few minutes.
"Did-di" he stuttered and stopped but then took a deep breath and continued, "Did you also feel that constant hollowness that sothing is missing? Did you also feel that nagging feeling that nothing is going to be alright in your life?" he asked
and his expressions are similar to Diego when he is curious to know sothing.
"If you were expecting sothing other than this, then I am sorry, Ethan, that’s not how the moon goddess works," I told him and walked towards the other warriors waiting for the alpha. When I went there, so of them gave
nods for acknowledgnt which I returned. Alpha ca after a few minutes, and everyone went silent. "Warriors of blue moon pack," his voice bood, and we all bowed slightly to show respect to our alpha. "I believe that you all know that we are going to host the mate ball day after tomorrow," he said, and we all said in unison, "Yes, alpha" suddenly, his gaze turned towards , and he clenched his fists, but in seconds he beca normal.
He nodded and continued, "warriors are the shield of the pack. I know that many of you are unmated and are excited to find their mates but I don’t want any lapses in security" he stopped and gave us pointed looks. "all the unmated wolves should talk with Gamma after this announcent so that he can free you on the day of mate ball while I am sorry to inform the mated wolves that they have to do double duty during this ti." he said, and no one said anything. "Our guests will start arriving in a few hours from now, so behave yourselves. Is everything clear?" he asked, and we all shouted "yes, alpha" in unison. With it, he dismissed us and walked towards the pack house.
Gamma Alexander ca in front and put a pen and paper on the table. "I wanted all the warriors’ nas in this paper in separate columns ’mated’ and ’unmated,’" he said, and with this, one by one, warriors started walking towards him and entering their nas. I walked toward him, and he looked at
questioningly.
"I can do the double duties, gamma," I told him, and he scrunched his eyebrows.
"But you are unmated-" before he said sothing, I interrupted him.
"Human," I completed his sentence, "I am an unmated human, and instead of wasting my ti at so ball, I would like to stay at borders protecting the pack," I told him, and for a nanosecond, I saw a little smile on his face.
"I am glad that you joined the warriors, aadhya," he told
while his eyes were settled on the silver knuckles that were fixed on my hand. I nodded and went towards the woods. I reached the eastern border, and the warrior that was there gave
a nod and went towards the pack.
