Howling for Forgiveness

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

Once I was done with filling Robert in on my current mate fiasco, I saw a confused expression cloud his eyes and I couldn't help but fear the worst. Was this all a big misunderstanding? Is Matt nothing but a hope? Am I truly stuck with Marco as my one true mate who left me to crumble and deteriorate from the inside out?

Before I could start panicking aloud, Robert spoke. "It is possible... It's rare, but possible." He tapped his chin while he stared at me and then the ground.

"What's possible?" I pressed, he was taking too long to give me the answers I was seeking. He was succeeding in bringing forth my most impatient side.

"I've only ever personally come across one other werewolf who experienced what you are currently going through and it was recorded in the records to have occurred a total of eleven times in the past 500 years." He grinned up at me. "It's the moon goddess trying to make up for a mistake she made in choosing your mate, now she's given you a choice. You can either complete the mating process with Marco or complete the mating process with Matt to fully remove the current bond holding you to Marco." He clarified.

I blinked. Blankly staring at this man, I knew that I was given a second chance and I wasn't about to waste it. "That sounds easy enough!" I grinned from ear to ear at the great news.

" But... " Why is there always a "but"? Robert looked uncomfortable saying the next line as if saying it would sting him. " Whoever isn't chosen by you to be your new true mate will never be able to find a mate again and will lose their wolf forever." I gulped.

Was I capable of stripping someone down to absolute nothingness like Marco had done to me? Without their wolves they wouldn't be able to continue being in a pack and would be forced to leave and live among the humans. My wolf is still gone, imagine that and the fact that you don't belong to your true race anymore. Total devastation.

I promised Marco I'd let him try to win me over for a month. It'll probably never work, but one thing is for sure once that month ends I'm going to fully mate with Matt and cut all ties with Marco. He deserves to feel the pain he caused me all those years and this is just the payback I need!

Grinning evilly to myself, I hugged this Robert guy and thanked him for all his help. I told him to take care of my aunt or I'll be back with a less friendly motive and remove him from this world. Royal or not I'd have his arse for hurting her. I gave Aunt Susan a kiss on the cheek and grabbed an apple from her basket beside the door before exiting the house and smiling all the way back to the pack borders.

"MATT!" The wind was howling in my ears as I let my legs propel my body forward as fast as my slowly recovering body could take me. The thudding of my feet against the hard ground and my uneven breathing was flooding my hearing as I swing my arms back and forth trying to reach the pack house as fast as I could.

I hope Matt hasn't left yet. I left him just a few hours ago but if I'm lucky my mother reminded him that he was staying for dinner. I was excited to tell him all about what I figured out!

The familiar grand entrance of the house came into view and I huffed out as fatigue started setting in. Maybe I should have walked fast instead of running, but it's too late now. I just had to run for another meter or s-

All the air in my body escaped through my mouth as something hard jabbed into my stomach. My head swam as the world twisted around me. I felt my back collide with the dirt floor and a vile grin looking back down at me as I coughed to find some way to let air into my lungs. "W-who... are y-you?" I choked out, grinding my teeth together as I rolled onto my stomach groaning to get off the ground.
