Unexpected Newcomer

(Angel's POV)

(Past)

"You will never get away from me, my sweet omega." He states while rubbing my bruised cheek with soft strokes.

It's hard to believe that at one point I had trusted this man to care for me, as would an older brother, but the man's growing obsession has become a living nightmare. At first it was just small things, his possessive tendencies were nothing new, until one unfortunate night finally took claim on his dangling sanity.

I hadn't known the length he would go to keep me all to himself, but it seems that jealousy had truly drove him mad.

"You let that disgusting beta touch you in ways that only I should." He spits out while tightening the ropes around my exposed chest and thighs. I whimper at the harshness in his movements, small cuts form under the tight restrictions.

"I-i'm s-s-sorry mas-master." I try to speak through the metallic taste in my mouth.

"You think that will save you? Tell me you're mine omega." He puts his face so close to mine that his hot breath lingered against my tear streaked face making shivers rake through my immobile body.

"I-I'm yours." I whisper trying to convince him enough where he'd let his death grip loosen. It seems to have worked, because he suddenly let's go completely. Retreating back into his secluded corner and leaving me suddenly cold, a little to cold.

"Of course you're mine and you will always be mine. I'll protect you from the moon goddess herself, I never wanted to hurt you my love but if you had known the vulgar thoughts that beta had been thinking, you'd...." He puts his head down in shame and for a moment a glimpse of the man I once knew was standing before me as if he had never left.

"I love you. Why can't you just love me back?" He looks up at me, true tears brimming his solemn eyes. Pain suddenly strikes my heart.

"You're my mate... but I do not love you." I whisper out to him. I want him to understand that we will never be together, even if it's what the moon goddess had wanted.

Anger makes his dark brown eyes turn even darker with concealed rage, I immediately wanted to take my words back, but it was too late when he slowly began to stalk towards me. I flinch and close my eyes, waiting for his hateful strike...

But it never came, instead he began to untie the ropes.

"I Nathan Alexander Daniels, Alpha of Shadow pack of the northern regions here by disown you, Angel, from our pack." His voice was crystal clear as he spoke but it turned into a deafening hum as everything started to fade away. There was a sharp needle-like pain that overtook my body, far worse than any beating i'd ever taken. It was crippling and made my toes and fingers curl as I tried desperately to escape myself. I wanted to peel the flesh from my face but couldn't, all I could do was cry and howl out for anyone or anything to help make this agonizing pain go away.

Sad howls filled the air, my pack members cried out for me, feeling our tie break.

"Let's see how long it takes for you to come crawling back to me. My sweet.... omega...."

Once all the ropes were gone, my body fell limply to the floor with a loud thump. The ringing began to cease but the pain still lingered heavily.

I look up to see Nathan standing there with an indifferent expression, before he turned and faced the other direction.

I could barely turn my head towards the way of the door as thoughts flooded my mind. Is this real? Is this all just some sick dream? I couldn't help but let a few tears shed.

Am I gonna miss you? I look back to Nathan.

He used to be my best friend, why did the goddess have to be so cruel and make this man my mate?

My legs rose shakily from the floor, and with the strongest voice I could muster I spoke from my heart for the last time.

"Goodbye Nathan... In some aspects of the meaning I do truly love you, just not how you need me to" and with all the courage I could muster I ran away, not before noticing how his shoulders tensed and how words seemed to fall out his mouth, but between the chaos and the thumping of my running feet I couldn't at the time register what he said.

"If I can't have you, no one will."
