To Break The Mate Bond

Perfect Luna

Ayla was truly perfect to be Luna. She was kind and helpful to both the young and the old. The best in the grades and her training. Truly lovely as can be. Everyone always talked about how she would become the next Luna of the pack, the praises and the whispers.

Well, Ayla disagreed... very much. There she has a kind smile always but soon hears about her being next to Luna. In her mind disgust and frustration caves in. She liked to help out others, she didn't need to force it or try to be kind always. Though she now definitely regrets being more in the spotlight as she should. After all, she did not want to be mates with the future alpha.

His whole persona was arrogance and nothing of what you would think of the future alpha. Parties that last till the sun rises, barely paying attention in lessons, hooking up with every girl that passes and having boys that support the bad choices. My list can go on and it seems he too wasn't thrilled with the idea of me being his mate. After all, I rejected his many advances towards me.

Thinking I was just playing hard to get. True he has some good points, with a bit more years of training he'll be at the top. Hopefully, he may get his head straight and know the important priorities for the pack more than himself. I'll admit he is handsome that's it. I just really liked helping the pack but not as much anymore. So I've been mostly hiding or avoiding people in general. I know it's rude but I need some of my own space.

I've been dreading this week, but others have been very excited. It was his birthday...
The day when everything changed, I hadn't seen him in two years until he finally returned a month ago. He went for alpha training and took some of his buddies with him. It was a lot calmer and I felt a bit more at ease but now, the talks, the whispers and the stares are back.

Of course, I didn't go, I went and visited my grandparents who live quite far away from the main pack lands. My parents weren't happy with me that I suddenly left and didn't even go to the welcome/birthday party for the man of honour. And I heard he hasn't met his mate yet... I still think it's not me because he would have come running to me or I would have smelt something. Still, I felt my wolf more antsy than normal and I hadn't gone anywhere near the way he is.

I had bad timing because my wolf was begging for a run and I let her. I heard it... I heard the howl and the sounds of paws running closer. The big black wolf came near me and we both just looked at each other. Quickly shifting behind the tree and wearing some clothes that's always left for other shifters I took a deep breath but didn't move.

"Ayla I know it's you."

I didn't want to deal with this, I didn't want to believe it either. Damn the moon goddess, this is a messed up joke. I quickly walk towards him.

"Let's just get this over with." I cross my arms and look at him with annoyance.

"Get over what?"

"Just reject each other and forget everything."

"Ayla, are you being serious right now? We mates and no we not doing that."

"Look I know all those years of what I did, wasn't the best I'll admit. I've changed much better in the last two years and have been thinking seriously about the future, not just my own but the pack. Please Ayla let me show you, give me a chance." Looking with full determination and a bit of uneasiness in his eyes, I was hesitant and not impressed. Sure how he holds himself feels much different before but it'll take more than words.

"I never wanted to be Luna! Everyone has been telling me my whole life that I'm going to be Luna! We both going to be mates! This constant reminder and I hated it! And what's worst you took advantage of that! You hated it, you didn't care about mates. You only cared about yourself. You know what you did..."

With his hand still stretched for me to take I shift into my wolf form and run further away.
