Fated Or Doomed

Ego

Travis

At times I hate being alpha. It may just be the shit Elizabeth and I had went through. But my title has seem to always find a way to pull me from her.

I crave her more each day. Every moment that has be apart from her just eats me alive.

"Hurry up so we can find her!!"

I roll my eyes as I finish up a quick email. I set things straight from the other day with the humans. Elizabeth made a well put argument and I follow behind in her glorious steps.

With that said we have been fine for most of the time. Still new, we get a spark of betrayal through each other. Making us jump back. I try ignoring it and just hold her tight.

But then she tremble and I kiss her head tenderly. Her body ease less and wraps herself more into me. I wish I had the right words but at the time I feel I may say the wrong ones.

I turn to my side to see a new photo I had of her. Taking a glance I looked to my computer. I clench my fist as I read over another threaten letter. It was from the same person. I just know it.

Just this time it was small but each word felt to cut deep.


You have made your decision alpha. The hybrid will bury not only yourself. But your people. I thought you'll be wiser than your father and leave what you know you shouldn't have. Leave her.
She a waste of time. A devil in the making.
I will pray for you and your wolves. Good Luck.

When I enter my office today. I didn't expect to deal with this. I didn't want to. It was the last think on my mind.

Malcolm barks in my head. Needing to be with his mate. I still couldn't rattle my emotions. So I push my desk and chair. Standing to my feet I slam my fist to the desk and head to my witch.

I headed off to the library to find her. She had texted me an hour ago that she took some time to read. Not study. But read.

"You know reading calms her down. It was like a drug to her."
I nod to Malcolm. I have seen her in transition when her body shivers in a panic. Not fully relax, she sits with a book in her hand and in minutes she in peace.
"It use to be us." He whins.

I shake my head to the empty feeing I get when I know we still need healing. And I try every day to gain our love back. Every second wasted I try to make up for it.

Heading in I am greeted. I nod and follow her scent. I hear a rumbling snarl from Maloclm when he smells a males scent mixing behind hers.

"He's with her!"

I growl back. "He's suppose to be somewhere else! Not with her!"

My footsteps grew louder and heavier the closer I get to them. And the moment my head pops up the floor. I quickly turn over the shelf to the lounging space.

I lost control of everything the second I see them squeeze tight in a corner couch in the far end.

They didn't sense me in the room. I knew this when I watch how he brings his arm closer to the back of her head. Touching her shoulder. She smiles a giggle thats meant for us only. And he!

Ohh that fucking bastard smirks his charm to her. Making her cover her face at some nonsense her speaks to her.

Seeing them like this had my blood boiling. I feel the burning sensation the moment I saw them.

I wanted to strangle him with his own tail and throw him off the railling for even making her smile that way.
In my last few feets from them. Their heads pops up. Still in their bubble they smile to me as if this was innocent and I didn't just catch them in the act of their betrayal of me.

"Hey babe."

"Hey I ran into L.." I ignore every calling that told me to look her in the eyes. But instead I just look at her lover brother and grab him by the collar.

"What the hell Travis!" Closing her book to yelled.

I throw Mason over towards the bookshelf's. His body makes a large huff sound. I take no chance and bite my tongue and allow my fist to talk.

"Yo why.."

Not wanting to hear any of his pathetic reasons I begin beating Mason. My fist connected to his face until his brow bleeds. My ring cuts a nice scar over his smirky grin. I lift him up to drag him in a column so I can throw him at the hard wall. I kick him in stomach where I slash a large cut in belly.

As I go to grab a chair. Elizabeth fights me. Yelling at me to stop. I bare my teeth at her as I push her off of me. She froze in her spot and stares at my in a soft gasp.

My eyes blacken while I couldn't speak right now. I was hungry for Mason's near death. Thats all I knew now.

I stand before my brother and held the chair high. And as I do Elizabeth speed her way between us both. Holding her hand up to me.

"Move Elizabeth! Now!" I growl between Malcolm and I. But she doesn't budge.
"No! What the hell has gotten in to you! Its Mason!"
"Excatlly! He was all over you. I knew there was something!" I barked back.
"What! No man gross!" He says as he coughs up blood.
"Don't fucking act like you didn't. I saw you. The both of you." My eyes shifted to them both. Their expression don't compose to my acid.
"Travis theres nothing going on! stop this ego shit!" She calms her tine but still spoke a loud firm to me.
"You gonna tell me there isn't.."
"Theres isn't! And never had!" She yelled from her chest.

I search her eyes to read what she meant. But her touching him and his body so close behind her sent flashes of what sexual act they done. What secrets they hold.

"Fuck!" I grunted to myself.
I go to put back the chair. In return I see Elizabeth hovering over Mason from his side. He lifted up his shirt to review the wound.

Again my feral need grew as I go to yank her off of him. "Let go of me!"

"I don't want you two alone anymore. He knew that!" I continue to drag her down the column.

Elizabeth claws at my arm but I don't let go. Reaching the open air I turn to bend and throw her tiny body over my ahoulder.

"No more library. The books will come to you!" My alpha voice demanded it.

She continues to fight me. "Travis stop! Put me down. He's your bestfriend for goddess sake. Let me help him!"

I bite hard on my tongue but my Malcolm growls through our teeth.
"I know who he is. And so did he." He doesn't stop his growls. Pleading she stops being so fucking stubborn and behave.

Making it to near the stairs her body falls down my torso as she wiggle nonstop. Dropping to down, she takes a chop down on my shoulder hard. My body flex back and she pushes off of me.

My arm loosen to her and I grind my teeth to the sharp pain. She takes one step away and I grab her arm to stop.
"Leave him Elizabeth." My voice horsey now.

You hear a grunting sound behind us. She looks up to see Mason limping towards us. I fight through the pain my mate gave me and stood up.
Her eyes fall to him in concern."Hes really hurt."
"Ugh. He'll be fine." I pull myself together and take a small breather.
"Do you not trust me?" She ask me with her willow green eyes.
I look away and stop my gaze at Mason who holds his side. "I do. Its him I dont."
"Wow thanks. Cradle buddy." He frowns.
"You keep your hands off of her!" Mason hands flys up when I threaten him.

I hate how he has this sensitive spot from her.
"God damn it Travis STOP IT!" She stood right between us.
Every step I took closer she took back. I feel his eyes more on her than me. It enlarges my claws.
"No! You are mine. I just got you back. I am not losing you again. To no one. You think I didn't smell those boys over you when you came back."
Elizabeth crosses her arms. "And I told you nothing happen. I didn't cheat. I was drugged and dance with Connie. Thats it."
"Yet I couldn't sense you for days." Now my focus makes it to her.
"Because I choice to not to." Her voice snaps and I feel this ache that washes from her. I try fighting it. I thought I knew but seeing them. Seeing him brought me back to that pit.
"Just stop touching him." I beg in a raging tone to her.
"No! You leave and i'll take care of him. Now go!" Waving her off to us.
Mason moans in pain and Elizabeth makes her way to him slowly. I watch and just stomps my way out. I saw that there was no talking when she fucking choice his need over mine.

I don't see why she had to help him. I seen Mason 10 times worse. He's just being a fucking baby.

But now I see what he done to make her this way. His baby sweeter act had her running to him after all these years. Maybe that was always his trick. Before we meet they were glue together. And they can't be pull apart.

Malcolm took a pull and I waited for her near the sundown. Like promise she always return to bed.
Yet the view and air darken and when she enter she sat down with her hands crossing her chest.

I compose myself as I go to kiss her cheek. She yanks herself away once my lips make a connect.
"Are we gonna talk about what happen today?"

I sense she still mad but I bet she was all nurse to fucking Mason. Waddle all his needs and kisses for his fucking boo boos.

"He's not a baby." I grumble to myself.

I walk away to grab a change of clothes for her in the closet. But as I return. She left. All I see was the door closing and her figure vanishing.

My head falls down and I wonder if she was pulling away again. She knew me and knew him. There was boundaries and she choice him over me each fucking time.

I try not to let it bother me. I know the talks she assure me. And I believe her. Its just after the treason. After her collide resume. Its hard to see any wolf or another male take her attention but me.

So I lay and waited for her to return for slumber.
"She says she'll always come back to bed rather she mad or not. She'll come to our arms. No one else."


Liv

I shake off any mood I have trap inside me. Today was gonna be a good day rather Malcolm and Travis found a way to tick under my skin.

I get a call of Connie's arrival and try not to run to her. But I guess I speed walked my way to her. And once I saw her we hugged like little kids on a playdate.

"Yay! I can't wait for you to see it all." I cheers.

"I am at your disposal Luna." She smiles and nudge my shoulder. "Now show me the witches."

We trail our way through the grounds. Talked over little needs and role switches for her first day tomorrow. After some time I get a text that Connie's cowork is almost here.

"Okay so heads up. You will be working side by side with Milow whom been doing great since he joined."

Connie smirk a cocky brow. "Oh that new guy you told me about?"

I nod and talked her through the things they will work on and things I left for her to handle. Connie was my main go to person. Milow was top two. He did a amazing job in his tribe before he came to us.

We quickly get interrupted as a male voice bubles in. I turn to say hello to Milow. As I walk to his side and bring him closer for Connie to see. "And this is Connie. We spoke of her and the changes."

"Hello.." As Milow grins at Connie. She bites her lips as she traps her eyes on him.

"Mate?" She finish for him.

He chuckles and take her hand. I step back and watch them. They don't speak much but I see they clicked right away.

"Well I guess I'll have your stuff put in my..our home."Milow's voice carry a nervous tone.
"Well buy me dinner first." She jokes.
"Why don't I show you around. We can take a walk." I see Connie blush hard to his accent. And in all my years Connie doesn't blush.
"Well haven't you won my heart by just your accent." I can hear heart dancing in her chest.

Milow is an 186 Australian former tribe witch. Immortality has done him good. His tribe has been wiped out 2 decades agos. He holds a fire element. And two months ago he calls me for a new home. His skill of high communication got him the job. He had been prefect. And when I left I saw he took a great lead.

"Well I was just about to head to the kids. Its my turn for snacks." He tilts his head blonde hair to Connie. "Would you join me?" She nods to him.

"Well congrats." I clapped. "I'll allow you to take the day off Milow. Connie." I gave her a look to be gentle and not too formal. She quickly nods. Aware of what I mean.

"Well doesn't being mate to a close friend of Luna has its perks." He chuckles.

I see Connie blush to his accent once again. "I got a few perks myself."
I hold a laugh as I she Milow swallow hard. Connie has her way with boys. And now her mate will see. Along with her maintains.

Milow hand willow up and a fire rose in his hand. Connie's eyes widen. The rose blended to hers. As she shows her gift connection.

Milow was branded to his tribe. So he still holds his element even with it no longer there.

I sore in happiness.

"I'm happy for you both. You got your hand fuller Milow. Good lucky. I mean it."

"Thank you Luna." He bows slightly to me.

"Yeah. Thanks Luna Liv."

Milow takes Connie's hand and they both head off to kindle their new fire-burning life.

Later That Day

I decided to host a small dinner welcoming to Milow and Connie. Everyone agreed and I pray no fights start.

Everyone comes in one by one. Sarah and Kan takes one side while Travis and I take the other. The tension is still thick. We try thinning it out but a flash of what happen at the library hits and I pull away.

Travis whisper in my ears. "The longer you're upset the longer i'll eat your pussy tonight." He runs his hand up my legs and I clench to the heat. My head spin and he smirks away.

God damn bond shit. Not now!

Coming in a slow chuckle is Mason. Eveyone says hi but Travis who plays on his phone. I try to stand to have him sit next to me but Travis claws at my leg and I stayed seated.

Mason sits next to Sarah at the far end. I look over to him and his head falls down. I see him shaking his head slightly and I know its to me.

I hate how I put a strain between him and Travis.
Mason runs a conversation to Kan. After a minutes we all chat and the cutest couple makes their entrance.

"Well isn't it time you two join us?" Kan says.

They don't respond but Connie whispers something to Milow. He looked destress a bit and I wonder why.

Connie pulls him by the arm and I go to stand but again Travis catch me. I gave him a look and he doesn't flinch.

My eyes widen up to see Milow steping towards Mason whos turn around to congrats him.

"Aye I heard th.."

In one back sucker punch to the jaw Milow drops Mason on his ass. He falls over his chair and hits the ground hard. I lean over the table to see as much as I can.

"What the fuck man!" Mason rubs his jaw to the pain.

Travis laugh loudly to the assault. Again I gave him a look. And he only shrugs at me.

Everyone else moves over and gasp to Milow hitting Mason.

When Mason looks up to see Milow and Connie. Connie had a guilty look. "Sorry I told him about the you know."

Mason nods and looks to Milow. He sats back up slowly. And begin to rub his head that hits the ground. "This has really been a bad day for my head."

"I would say." Travis snicker.

I restrain from slamming my fist down. Instead I kick him under the table.
"What?" He snaps at me. I say nothing. "Milow has a hell of a arm. By looks beta getting rusty. He should of saw it coming."

I shook my head. Connie and I meet a look. Empathy hits hard. Both our mates are not in good well from our brother. And its because of our relationship itself.

The dinner goes on and the end falls. They begin to talk about doom fights. And I felt a ache in my belly.

I look up to see Mason trying hard to not make eye contact with both his sister, nor their mates.

With the aura turning dark more than light. I grew to miss the love that should join.

I thank everyone and begin heading out. I have lost all interest to the gather. As I leave before eveyone finish their meals. Travis is on my heels.

"Hey whats wrong?" Catching my hand.

I turn and my eyes fall down. He lifts my chin and I tick to his touch. "Elizabeth? Baby don't worry your pretty head over that dog.."

"I have emails to return before it late." I interrupt him. I keep my cheek blow put in visible anger.

His hand slips and he nods. Understanding I was not in the mood to speak.

I go to leave and he pulls me back again. I yank my arm and he yanks back. I fall to his chest and his stare was not kind.

"You didn't have to start more reckness. Doesn't help." I nudge hard to his torso that flex back at me.

His grip tightens and I pull myself tall so I look him in the eyes that displace my anger to him even more. I focus and I allow a flash of my heart being ripped out in agony for him to feel. A 2 second mind flip he loosen and I calm my body.

"Guys fuck around. He's being a baby." He joked.

"And you're being an assshole!" I poke his chest.

Travis expression fall dry. And mines stays strain to him. He moves my hand and nod. "I'm gonna enjoy dinner. How about you? Cake?"

My eyes flare red and he replies with a fine. I turn to leave. But not until he ask me one more question. "You coming to bed." This wasn't even a question. He said it more in and demanding tone.
I reacted like the good wife he thought he was getting. The shut your mouth like a staute. My exist itself responded for me.

No words. No sensation. No spark nor shiver. I try to not start another fight. And this goes on for the next two days. I kept silence and work. I engage little as I feel his chest rumble in any jealousy.

For today I work in my spell room. Just a small time to fill the dark with more dark.

Mason sits and fidgets in a chair. I spot him trying to avoid me. I catch him and force him to spend time together. Mason knows better than to just ignore me.

"Are you gonna tell me now whats up you two?" I ask while I clean some mess.

"He didn't tell you after ripping my lung out?" Mason says this in a bitter tone.

I dust off some powder and lean in the edge of my island. "He has been very closed up about why. So its time for you to tell me."

Mason sighs. "Its my fault Liv."

"What is?" I asked.

"I lied to him about you that day. I was never planing to tell him. And he knew. He placed treason and it never been the same. He thought I wanted you for myself and other shit. So its my fault okay."

I shake my head in disbelief. "No its mine. I'm the reason it happen. You lying and him.." I pause. "Its mine. I'm sorry I put a toll on you guys."

Mason shurg it off like its all okay. "We fight just as much as you guys do. It'll blow over."

I let a faint smile out. I worry it won't just blow over. What if they never see each other as brother again.

I try for the remainder of the day to ignore it. We go back to just enjoy our time.

I go to grab a jar from the top shelves. I couldn't reach and ask Mason for help.

"Just let me climb on top. I'm short."

"Fine. But don't fart." He warns me.
I slap his shoulder and he went on to let me climb over him.

As I'm in near fingers to grab my fariy dust a door slam open with bolts faling down. Both Mason and I eyes turn to see a piss off alpha at the enterance.

Fuck!!

Mason helps me down before raising his hands in defense. Travis take no chance but take a strike to Mason. I center myself between them. I can see fire blowing out his nose and ears.

"Really this again." With my arm stretch out in protective mode.
"He was touching you!"
"He was helping!"
"Like hell!" I bring my arms down and Travis tries to get to Mason. I rise them up again and flare my hands in a glow of violet and blue. He sharpen his look and sees I'm ready to attack.

Growing so sick of this ego mucho alpha shit. I thought a major threat to Travis will get him to drop it all.
"Stop it or else i'll make sure you can't have a heir. Because I'll make sure the heir will be half Mason."
Mason gags to my threat. "Gross Liv. Wer're not.."
I snap my head to him. Shaking in a pitful disgust."Gross no! There's other ways."

"Impossible! Even if you say this truth. An alpha bastard will still hold regin. An lunas bastard is just an bastard."
Travis makes a stand and a good point. But I make one better. I know how he feels about the pups. So I drop my arms and push his chest back a inch.

"I'm aware. Which state if things were different Devin could of.."
"No!" He shouted at my reminder.

I take a deep breath out and face my beast alpha. I hold his anger. "Either way you won't have an heir from me. And from what we talk about. Mason will."
Mason grips my elbow. "Don't poke the bear Liv."
"Stop touching her!" Travis grab a glass object and throws it at Mason who dodges the hit.
"Enough I said!"
I step closer to my mate who intends to keep up his wall. Yet he has forgotten I can do better. I can hold his and mine for far longer.

My chin lift to look him in the those dark eyes. Flickers of flaring brown caught my attention and I see his hurt.

He is still angry towards me.

"You haven't come to bed. You promise no matter what you'll come. And you didn't." I look over his shoulder to see the clock reads 11:48.

God damn it. I got too caught up I didn't know what time it was.

Stupid Elizabeth. You keep fucking up you dumb bitch.
I sigh in utter guilt. "If things were reverse i'll 100% get it. But through our past. All the girls and boys.."
"What boys?!" He snarls back. His eyes blacken and the brown hide away.
"I won. You won. You are the one waking up in our bed next to me. You go to bed holding me." I keep my breathing low as I do my voice. He watches me and see his ease. "I win. And you need to understand that. Its you. Only and always you. Okay." Caressing his face. His brown started to come back.

"You have the only attraction to me. The only pull I can't resist. Its only you. Others will try, we knew. But we pay no mind because you have ways to make my knees weak. I never knew of such things until you." I feel him back as he lay his head to the side.

"Its you okay. The only one in my mind and desire wants is you." I look down to see his lips wet for my taste. I lean in to kiss his preying lips. Just a small peck and a huge wash blow between us.
"Fine. I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose you." He gasp in heavy breath
"And you wont." I promise to my grave.

He pulls me in by his elbow. Cradling my head to his heart. I could feel so much center in life than even when I am held in my mates arms.

Of course things won't stay calm between us. But we will stay center.

Any battle we face, we find ways to center it all out. And from here out. I kept my promise to return to bed.
