Nightfall of Embers

Chapter 8

 I felt so out of control and overwhelmed, the panic was rushing over my mind and body like a bucket of ice cold water.I needed to get out. I needed to get away.

"I refuse to be mated." I stated, while looking directly at Blake and James.

" I never wanted this, I simply refuse this." I continued on with my jaw clenched, forming an slight ache from the tension.

"You can't."  Those words coming from Xander's voice.

We all turned to him. I didn't fully understand my situation. I just knew that I had plans and they did not involve being stuck with a possessive Alpha. 

"What do you mean I can't? It's my life I could refuse my mate, just like any other were!" My voice was rising with a slight hysteric. My panic level was continually rising by the second.

"Again... you can't Nate." Xander spoke with a soft tone.  I could tell my negotiation skills were not working to my advantage. 

"You are not a full Were, Nate..." he paused a moment before continuing on with the full explanation.

" According to Were Law you must accept your mate. You're body will not accept a rejection. It will kill you, maybe not quickly but it wouldn't be a pretty sight. Overtime your body will wear down and deteriorate." he finished.  

I just stood there in shock. I couldn't think fast enough to form a complete thought. My life is now officially on the line if I refuse my mate, but wait I have two of them, would that affect the outcome?

"But I have two mates, if that is an exception to the rule, then shouldn't it be the same for a rejection?"  I questioned. I needed to find a solution, the quicker the better. 

"I don't know to be fully honest...These kind of situations don't arise all to often, I mean maybe one of the Elders might know but still...." Xander didn't continue. He knew better than to suggest that an Alpha, let alone his Alpha's mate reject him. That would be a death sentence in itself.  

The silence and tension hung in the air surrounding the two packs. Nobody knew how to approach this situation, especially with it being led my dominant testosterone filled males. I hated to admit it let alone to myself, that I am not strong enough to deal with this. I could feel the anxiety levels increasing and about to reach a complete and utter breakdown. If I didn't leave soon I would be in hysterics I mean who wouldn't be in this fucked up situation. Feeling the sweat drip down the back of my neck and the clamminess of my hands I knew what I had to do.

"Spencer." I called my brother without even looking towards him. "I want to go." I finally looked towards him. All I could see was the worry etched on his features.  He was having an inner battle with himself, he had to make a decision. Choose to follow his Alpha or protect his sister. His head was whipping back and forth between James and I.

"Uhhh....sure?" Spencer finally spoke and started to walk towards me. He was a foot away when all of sudden he stopped like there was an invisible field between myself and him. Spencer's facial feature switched from confusion to pure malicious. He started to growl and his body was shaking with tremors. His head whipped towards James, looking almost like a rabid animal about to attack its prey.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" he roared towards James. "SHE IS MY GOD DAMN SISTER!" .

" Follow my order or you will regret it Spencer, remember I am your Alpha now." James spoke with a low authoritative voice that also happened to send a chill along my spine, and not in a bad way either.

"Natassia," James finally addressed me. I turned to look at him face-to-face, even if he towered over me. I didn't want him to know how much I was freaking out internally so I put a blank on my face and met his emerald eyes. He looked at me with such intensity it made me want to look away, almost.

"You are coming back with me tonight." He finished. I continued to look at him to see if he was joking. The serious look in his eyes told me otherwise.

"What makes you think that I would go anywhere with you?!" I questioned. I was getting furious with all these idiotic men telling me what I am or am not doing. I don't need to follow any damn orders, I'm not a damn dog. James took a step closer to me to the point where I could feel him pressed next to my chest. I couldn't deny the feeling of his body pressed against me sent a small electrical current across my skin, but would I let him know he caused that effect on me? Hell no! I continued to have a full on stare down with the delusional Alpha and ignore the tingles he was giving me. Finally James broke the silent moment we seemed to be having, but what he said next would send me into a rage of fury.

"Because. You. Are. Mine." he said in a low threatening tone. That line was the what finally broke the camels back. Not only did he think I was some sort of property, the smug ass thinks I would be doicile enough to follow his orders. To say I was pissed would be the understatement of the century . I glanced around the group of guys, which made no effort to come to my rescue. Even Spencer looked at me with defeated look to him. My next move wasn't purely on impulse. I took my nude heels that I was still holding onto and hit him in the head with them. The force of my pumps caused his head to whip to the side and in the moment I made the only rash decision I could think of.

I ran.

I know it's a small and it doesn't cover what Blake's role will play but he will make more of feature in the next chapter (which yes I have already started). I'm hoping to have chapter 9 up by sometime this week and with a lot more pages for you guys. I'm hoping to upload regularly and give you guys the best quality I can provide you with.
