*Alex POV*
It’s been almost two weeks that Evelyn was missing, I have no idea why it bothered me so much but it did. I paced back and forth in the living room and ran my hand through my hair that was already a mess. The door cracked open and my father walked inside the house and looked over at me with a small smile.
“We have found where Evelyn has been staying boy, so stop stressing.” I chuckled and patted my shoulder as he walked by into the kitchen. I turned around and followed him in there wanting to know right away where she was.
“Where is she at, I’ll go get her and bring her back.” I rushed. My father looked over at me and smiled softly.
“Your little mate is in the pack Midnight Light, she is safe. She is being trained as the Luna of the pack.”
“What do you mean Luna? All she is, is an Omega wait what?” I had just realized my father said she was my mate. It hit me like a ton of bricks, almost knocking me off my feet. That’s why I was having such a hard time with her being gone, but how could my mate be an Omega. My mate was supposed to be strong willed and stubborn, l-like Evelyn was.
“Evelyn is your mate Alex and no she is not an Omega, she has the Alpha blood line of the Werewolf court. One of the most powerful blood lines.”
“Y-you’re saying i-i humiliated my own mate?” I fell into one of the kitchen chairs and put my head into my hands. I hurt my own mate, which caused her to run away, I had to go after her and bring her back. I stood up and walked out of the kitchen to my room. I slammed the door closed behind me and let out a frustrated growl. How could I be so stupid to not have realized it? Why did I treat her so wrong? Why the hell didn’t my father say anything to me?
I grabbed a bag from my closet and tossed it onto my bed. I would have to bring a few things so I could cross the Midnight Light packs territory.

*Evelyn POV*
I let out a growl toward Vincent as he stepped closer to me on the training field but for once it was a playful growl. I stood in a fighting stance with my ears laid back and my tail high in the air as the dominant one in the field. His wolf let out a soft chuckle as he leaped forward, making us tumble onto the floor and him pinning me to the floor. I looked up at him and smiled shyly and flicked my tongue against his cheek.
“You are so cute when you actually let your emotions show Eve.” Vincent whispered into my ear. He nuzzled his head into my neck and nipped at it softly. I let out a whimper of pleasure before pushing at his chest for him to get off. He got off with a groan and sat down waiting for me to get up. I sat up and looked down, I felt bad because I knew Vincent liked me and well to be honest I really like him too but the problem is that I haven’t found my mate yet. I wanted to wait and if I don’t find him within the year I would be more than happy to stay with him considering his mate rejected him a long time ago.
“Come on Eve let’s head back to the house so we can get dressed.” Vincent grumbled, walking ahead of me. I walked slowly behind him when a familiar sent floated around the territory. I let out a low growl and took off into the brush leaving Vincent behind.
As I pushed my legs harder to run faster so I didn’t lose track of the sent I could hear Vincent calling me back to him through the mind link. I shook my head as I shut the link out and jumped over a large tree root and landed right in front of the one person I never wanted to see.
I was looking into the eyes of the one and only Alex from the Black Moon pack. He was in his human form and looked like a mess but I didn’t even have a hint to care for him. I bared my teeth and growl at him. No way was I going to let him ruin the life I was finally happy in.
“What do you want Alex.” I snarled and snapped my jaws at him. He knelt down at my large wolf form and looked up at me. I backed away and heightened my tail to show I was the dominant one on this territory.
“Please Evelyn you have to come back to the black moon pack.” He stammered out. I rolled my eyes and snarled at him.
“Get off this land Alex, I’m not going back to a place I was tortured.” I went to turn around but he grabbed onto my paw and pulled me closer to him. I snarled and wiggled in his arms. I may be in my wolf form but I was smaller than a normal wolf. I felt a park against my skin as he held me tighter and let out a yelp.
“Do you feel that Eve, it means we are mates.” He whispered in my ear. I stopped wiggling in his arms and looked up at him. There was no way he was my mate, there was some mistake.
“Let her go!’ I heard Vincent growl as he pushed through the underbrush. I looked over at him and frown some. My mind was running a marathon in my head and was making me dizzy; I looked back at Alex before down onto his shoulder hard enough for him to let me go. Normally it worked but now he just snarled and held onto me tighter.
“She is coming home with me, her rightful mate.” Alex growled at Vincent. I looked over at Vincent who was looking at me with hurt plastered a crossed his face. I growled and wiggled harder in Alex’s arms. I couldn’t stand seeing Vincent hurting like that after everything he has done for me. I finally broke free from Alex and walked over to Vincent and nuzzled into his neck.
“Alex I am staying here as the Luna of the Midnight Light pack and staying as Vincent’s mate, so get off my territory.” I snapped and turned my back so I didn’t have to see Alex shattering on the inside. Vincent let out a low growl before turning and following behind me.
*********
I laid on Vincent’s and mines bed curled up in the blankets once we got home. Vincent tried to follow me into the room but I had closed and locked the door before he got to it. I could tell Alex had left the land because I could no longer smell him around the area. I took a deep breath and whimpered softly to myself and clung to the bed sheets. It shouldn’t matter that I hurt him so much because he had hurt me in the past but I was shattering on the inside.
I heard the bedroom door jiggle and then open up. I could hear muffled voices before the door was closed again. Footsteps came close to the bed before it dipped in the persons weight at the end of the bed. I knew who it was I just didn’t want to face him right now; I didn’t want him to see how weak I truly was.
“Eve I need to speak with you.” Vincent’s voice was low and soft on the end of the bed. He was hurting, I could tell. I sat up from my spot and crawled over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist from behind.
“Evelyn you have to go back to him, you know? HE is your mate after all and I don’t want you to regret rejecting him.”
“B-but.” I whimpered and nuzzled into his back, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. Vincent turned around and pulled onto his lap, rubbing my back in a soothing way.
“I want to stay here.” I said in a small whisper, I wasn’t even sure if he heard me or not but I knew I wanted to stay here with Vincent because it wasn’t right for me to leave him after all he has done.
“I will get over this Vincent after all he was the one who had hurt me first.”
“But will he be able to get over it Eve?” I looked up into Vincent’s eyes and saw pity along the edges of them. I sighed and nuzzled into his chest hiding my face away from his.
“He can get any girl he want’s that’s why he is called a player.” I said but I think it came out more muffled than anything.
“I see well how about we talk more about this tomorrow and get some sleep?” Vincent picked me up from his lap and crawled onto the bed with me in his arms. I curled up closer to him and fell into a dreamless sleep.
