Hate and Love

Chapter five- Over the Edge ✅

Recap: I blush because I've never been complimented before, it's shocking. "Uh, yea I'm his mate. Why is it such a big deal?"

"It's a big deal because now the alpha doesn't need to have an arranged marriage. You arrived so that skank Delilha won't get to be Luna. I generally never liked her. She was just into the marriage for the power over the pack she would receive." Jenna explains.

{•}{•}{•}

"Why exactly did he get an arranged marriage? Doesn't he know if he mates with another woman I would feel everything. I would die on the inside." My voice rises in pitch as I get a little angry. Anger, sure I've had it before but I've never really let it show because I was scared of getting a beat down. So, this was something new to me.

"He knew, and he didn't want to go through with it. But he had to because if he hadn't of had a Luna by the end of this month this pack wouldn't be able to make it. Well, at least that's what I've heard." Jenna explains.

"Well, I'm gonna take Levy to see Brandon. We'll see ya later." Sara drags me off with her. I look back behind me and see Jenna with her hands on her hips, looking at us with a smile on her lips. I, being the nice person I am, wave goodbye and before I know it Sara and I are at the doors of Brandon's office, you know the doors that probably have a special meaning that I don't know.

Sara doesn't knock as she barges in, probably because she is Brandon's sister. "Hi, big brother. Guess who's awake." She says gleefully. Brandon doesn't look up from the paperwork he does. "Big bro, guess."

"I don't know." He finally looks up and sees me standing there, surprise fills his eyes before it diminishes and he speaks again. "You're awake, good." He stands up and walks over to me. He doesn't hesitate as he engulfs me into a giant bear hug. I couldn't help but hug back. The bear hug almost squeezing the life out of me, but I didn't mind.

I've never been hugged before. It's a good feeling, as from this hug it is. "I have a few questions." I utter into Brandon's shirt, seeing as our hug had still not been broken. We finally pull apart and I realize that Sara had left, probably when Brandon started making his way to me.

"You can ask anything you want." He tells me softly, his eyes showing sincerity.

"Okay. I heard there would be trouble for this pack if you didn't have a Luna by the end of the month, is that true? Would that mean I would need to marry you? On such short notice? Do you even accept me as your mate? We hadn't gone over that yesterday- or three days ago." I rant, looking at Brandon as I fix my mistake with the days. I really want to know these answers, I stare at Brandon with wonder and anticipation gleaming in my eyes and showing on my face.

"Ok um well. I accept you as my mate with my entire body. Yes the trouble to our pack is true. Yes we would have to get married. I'm sorry it's such short notice. Please, will you marry me?" He gets down on one knee and holds out a black box. Where he got the black box from, don't ask me, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

With his other hand he opens it and inside is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen, not that I have seen many rings in my lifetime. It had a gold band, obviously couldn't be a silver one, and a small diamond sat in the middle with smaller diamonds on either side of it.

"I..." No words come out of my mouth and I choke up. Without saying a word I run out of his office, yea, don't judge this is a big moment in my life. I actually never thought of this moment ever happening to me. I find my way to the entrance or exit. I smell the fresh woodland and morning dew scent as I run into the woods that surrounds me.

I run for many minutes, not even bothering to shift into my wolf, until I come across a cliff. I glance over the edge and see sharp rocks at the bottom. Definitely don't want to fall. I get up close to the edge. Feel the strong wind flow past my body. Yup, if I fall I would be dead.

"Geez, there you are." Brandon comes out into the clearing before the cliff. Startled I turn towards him. My flats lose balance on a loose rock and before I know it I'm slipping over the edge of the cliff.

Sorry for the cliff hanger (see what I did there) I'll update the next chapter soon. Until then, live life on the edge. (see what I did there also)
