Heart Of The Forsaken

Secrets cut deep

🌜Welcome back readers! How many of you are mad at me after the ending of The Undesired? I had that ending planned since before I even started the story, an all throughout the story I left hints to it, some picked up on them and even messages me with their deductions as to what was going on. I have to say I am so excited to write this story, Kin has always been my favorite character, I know it's not proper to for a writer to say that because its like a parent choosing a favorite child, lol. I hope you all enjoy this story!🌛

SONG ON THE SIDE FITS WITH KIN'S THOUGHTS. :D

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• KIN'S POV •••••••••••••••••••••••••

It has been three days since the attack that nearly took our lives, three days and he has hardly said a word to me. I can't get him to understand why I lied to him from the moment we met, not without revealing secrets that are not mine to tell. The secret isnt mine alone, but I'm not sure even if it wa I woul be ready to tell him. To tell you the truth I'm scared. I'm close to 3000 years old, I'm a hybrid and more powerful than almost any creature, and yet I'm afraid to tell a 5'5 wolf why I couldn't tell him w were meant to be together, or how I have kept it hidden from him.

"Your little pet still not speaking to you brother?" Severin asks as he walks into the small house with a large grin on his face. He doesn't need to ask, he knows he isn't, but it make him more of an asshole if he does. There is one thing you must know about my brother, he wants the world to see a heartless bastard, without a hint of remorse or a spark of feelings. I know deep down within that cold heart there must be something, after all he once saved a half dead gypsy we stumbled upon, knowing he would be with him for eternity.

"You know he isn't brother." and then because I couldn't help myself, "is he still out there, trying to track him?" Call me a masocist but I needed to know. Sighing and looking down at the ground before shaking his head and looking at me, but not in my eyes, "yes he's still trying to find him. He deserves answers, from both of you."

"You more then most know I can not give him the answers he most seeks. To much is at stake to lay all of cards out on the table. Only part of it is even my story to tell, and I can not give him some of the truth without reveling the secrets of others. I just hope that he finds the truth he needs, the one that lead us to that clearing that night."

Standing up I walk out the door, lost in my own thoughts, but I realize I'm not the only one lost when my large frame connects with a much smaller. In my desire to catch him, I throw myself off balance, I know there isn't a way to correct and keep us on our feet, so I do the only thing I can. I turn my body when we are just a few inches from the ground and hit the rocky ground hard, followed by the impact of a small beautiful body falling gracefully on top I me.

I know on a few moments he is going to come to his senses and leap to his feet, so I take this moment to my advantage and bury my nose into his long blonde hair and inhale his wonderful scent. All I can feel is the shocks running through my body where his skin is coming in contact with mine. I have longed to feel this since I first laid eyes on him, I just wish things had been different, that I hadn't had to hide all of this from him. That I still have to hide I remin myself.

After a few moments he does exactly as I knew he would, and leaps to his feet and walks into the house without a backward glance at me. I lay my head back down on the ground and let the waves of his rejection wash through me, the more he shows it the deeper the pain is that runs through my very core. It has been weakening me and increasing my hunger. I have already fed today, and I'm suddenly feeling as if I haven't fed for months.

I'm drawn out of my thoughts as my brother steps out the door an approaches my probe body. "It's painful without it isn't it?"he asks. Nodding my head, simply because I do not think I have the strength to reply, befor enclosing my eyes and trying to concentrate on anything other than the thrist and th weakness. Without it I can barely hold on, Skyler's rejection is killing me, literally.

"I found something that belongs to you brother, and I might just return it if you beg me." Severin states while jingling whatever he pulled from his pocket. Cracking my eyes open slightly, the sun being to bright for my eyes with the hunger burning through me, and see that he has pulled it from his pocket. How long has he had it? He has watched me suffer, knowing he could do something about it? It's times like this that I begin th doubt that my brother has a single redeeming quality.

I open my mouth only to cough, once my glfit was done I clear my throat an try again. "Please." "Please what brother?" He responds with a smirk and a dark gleam in his eye, he truly is enjoying my pain. "Please, I need it." "Still not goo enough, try again." With what feels to be the last of my strength reserves I sit up on to my elbows and look him straight in the face,"plead brother I need it, I don't have the strength to protect him without it. You and I both know what will happen if something happen to him."

"Well now brother, that's all you had to say," he says before handing it to me and standing back up to his full height, "see I knew you still had it in you to stand up for what you want." Once finished speaking he disappeared in a flash into the woods, to hunt I presume. I sit up further, and slip it, my amulet around my neck once more. As it falls back into place I feel the weight lifting from me, the hunger fled and the pain of rejection gone. I can still feel the ghost of my mate bond, as I always have.

If it wasn't go him ripping it from my neck during our battle, Skyler never would have known the truth, but he also wouldn't have felt the pain and arrived in time to save me.

I know the moment that Skyler feels the amulets power take effect because he rushes back out the door, looking almost frantic, before his eyes fall on me. Seeing in alright he relaxes slightly but tenses back up once the truth hits him.

"How is it possible to sever the bond? How have you been doing it? I think I deserve at least one truth from you, I your even possible of it." Hearing him say the words, it was like a kick to my stomach. My own mate doesn't trust me, but I can't blame him at all. After an internal debate I come to a decision, this is one truth I can give him without having everything come tumbling down around me. Motioning for him to take a seat on the small steps of the porch I slide down onto the step next to him.

I hold my amulet up and watch as it spins in the chain and reflects the light from the sun. "Many centuries ago, my brother and I learned of an upcoming war, one that would foreve change the world. The only question was would it become the second dark ages for all of the super natural creatures, or would it be the beginning of a new era on which we lived peacefully next to the humans. We were told of two boys who would be born, now these boys weren't ordinary boys, no they would be the key to the war."

I pause to see if he was paying attention before continuing, "these boys woul have untold power, an if taken by the darkness would ensure the fall of all supers, but if kept for the light would usher in the new era, one of peace. Now the youngest was destined to lose his heart to one of great power, one who would swear his allegiance to the boy. Now if the boy knew of his destiney he would second guess his abilities and wouldn't allow his powers to grow and develop like they would otherwise. If the boy knew his other half was going to be the one to push him to embrace his potential he wouldn't allow it, he would shut down and become the perfect pawn for the darkness."

I pause once more, and hold my amulet up in front of his eyes, "now this seer who saw it all knew of only one way to keep the boy out of the hands of darkness, and that was to hide the bond of his mate from him. The seeing knowing of only one way to hide the bond calle upon a very powerful warlock and struck a deal with him, he would give the warlock his life in exchange for a powerful spell that would block the bond of mates. Th warlock agreed and forged for him an amulet from pure power, this amulet.."

At the end of my story Skyler looked up at me. To say I was shocked by what he said next was an understatement. "Then who is the mate that Severin is hiding himself from?"
