Mated by the Moon (SOPE X Reader)

Chapter 6

Y/N POV:

"FUCK!" I couldn't help the scream of frustration that left my lips as I collapsed in a heap by the lake. "WHY? WHY ME? WHAT DID I EVER DO WRONG?" Burying my face in my hands, I gave into the sobs that I had been trying to hold in, the sobs of complete and utter devastation. I knew what Atlas had said, but I just didn't understand what was happening, why this was happening to me. Why would Selene give me mates who didn't want me, allow me to be mated with someone else then take it all away again? I just didn't get it.

I let the tears fall unchecked down my cheeks as I thought about what had happened. Even thinking of the other two, Hoseok and Yoongi, made me want ton tear out my hair in anger. Why were they here? Why did they all of a sudden decide they wanted me? It didn't make any sense. If they rejected me from the beginning, what changed their minds? Part of me was curious, wanted to know, but the other part of me didn't care and never wanted to see them again. But as much as I hated to admit it now, it suddenly made sense why I had felt such a pull to them, why my inner wolf had felt the connection. She had sensed it when I didn't.

Even though I felt the connection, I didn't want to feel it. I didn't want them. I didn't want to leave my pack. I was happy with Charon, with the Makani pack. I had a home here, a family, a job I loved, and friends who cared about me. I had the love of a man who treated me like a princess, one who showed me everyday that he loved me, that he wanted me. And even though I could never give him pups, he showed me everyday that just having me would always be enough for him. Although I felt the desire for pups as an omega, I knew Charon would have always been enough for me.

"Rina?" The sound of my name had me standing up and whirling around to see Seren and Jimin behind me. Seren approached me slowly, as though she were afraid I was going to bolt. She had her hands up in a gesture of surrender. "Are... are you okay love?"

I snorted out a laugh at her question, a harsh sound devoid of any amusement, absent of any mirth. "Am I okay? Are you kidding me right now? I just learned that the assholes who are supposed to be my mates rejected me two years ago and the man I love, my real mate, was taken away from me. Do you fucking think I am okay?"

Seren sighed and I knew under normal circumstances I would be admonished for talking to a beta and the pack Luna that way, but I could see from the sadness on Seren's face that she was giving me sympathy instead of anger, that she was going to be understanding with the things I was currently experiencing, the situation I had suddenly found myself in. "I... I'm so sorry love. I wish... I wish I could make things better for you, wish I could change things, but..." Seren gestured towards the lake, the one where gave our offerings to Selene and I knew what she was saying. As much as she wanted to help me, she wouldn't go against the Moon Goddess, wouldn't go against the wishes of the goddess who chose our destinies.

As I turned back to face the lake, my shoulders slumped as I sat back down on the ground and I knew at that moment that there was nothing I could do, nothing to fix this situation. That no matter how I felt, I would be forced to accompany them, travel to their pack. At this moment, I didn't even want to acknowledge them as my mates. As far as I knew, they were not. They had rejected me. Why couldn't I do the same as them? Why did I feel the pull to them? Why did my wolf insist on claiming them as her own? Why did she want them so terribly? I hated the connection, but I also knew that it was out of my control.

A comforting arm came around my shoulders and I looked over to see Jimin seated on the ground next to me. His midnight blue hair was falling over his beautiful face and his coffee colored eyes were soft, full of tenderness and gentleness. "It's going to be okay sweetie. I... I know this isn't what you want, but... but we can't go against the Moon Goddess. Even if we want to." He pressed his lips to the side of my head, a sweet kiss that showed me he was there for me, a symbol of trust between omegas.
