The Rejection Pact

Oh Look, We Made Up.

*Ethan's POV*

As soon as I was a reasonable distance away, I felt a deep rumble building in my chest.

'Calm down.'

'I cant Stardust.'

'Ethan everyone is going to hear it. Push it down.'

I started breathing really heavily. I felt my fangs come out, and my claws extract.

'It's the alpha coming out. Fight it back.'

And I tried, but what came out of my chest was not a howl, or a bark.

It was a full-blown roar.

"Ethan!" I heard my dad from behind me.

I shot around. "Will me!" I growled. "Will me to stop!"

His eyes started glowing. "Back down. Now. Put them away, calm down."

My claws and fangs retracted as Stardust whimpered, and my breathing evened out.

"You OK?" He raised his eyebrows.

I took a deep breath and nodded.

He sat down on a log and pat next to him. "Come on."

I shook my head and sat down with him.

"Quite the fight." He nodded.

"And how would you know?"

"Are you forgetting that I am an Alpha and my sense of hearing is higher than most. Along with Orian."

I sighed, "Great."

"Between you and I, he agreed with you."

"Good!"

"But I don't." He shook his head.

I groaned. "I hate this fucking fate bullshit!"

"Watch your mouth!"

"No dad! I'm sorry but come on! The moon goddess knew exactly the kind of person I wanted, and well, I got her, but she decided to throw in stubborn, way to fucking independent, way to strong willed, and completely psychotic! The problem is, I want it to work so bad because I know she's going to make an incredible Luna. I'm trying but the girl makes me want to rip my claws out one by one!"

He nodded. "Have you by any chance met your mother?"

"Mom was not that bad!"

"Ethan. You know even though her and her parents were Omega's from another pack, it took her 4 years to decide to join our pack when we found out we were mates?"

"Really?" I pursed my lips.

He nodded. "And then it took another 2 for us to finally get married. I waited 6 years to get married because she didn't want to get married. I was 17 when I got my mate. I was 23 when I got married, and we didn't even discuss having you until I was 26, and it's because she was already pregnant. She was screaming and crying and scared out of her mind because she had never wanted kids. And I never once pushed her. Because we both agreed when she moved into the house with me, that we would take things as they come. I understand the situation. You two only have 3 months to figure out what you want to do, but stuff like that takes time. So, take these 3 months, get to know each other, make your decision, then go from there.

I sighed and nodded.

"Good kid." He ruffled my hair. "Now I have a question."

"OK." I nodded.

"Orian and I, we have a mind link because of our bonded agreement. But you and Cyrus, you're not Alpha's yet. How do you two have one?"

"Harlow." I pursed my lips.
