"Shadows and Monsters"

Chapter 21

***Keishre's POV ***

I know that I was mad at Clarissa because she tried to kiss my handsome mate Trent but I feels bad for her. When she told me she will gonna be rejected I saw myself reflected on her, I know how painfully rejection is, it feels like you're burning inside, you feels like you will gonna die, you can only think What do I do to deserve this? She made mistakes but after all she's a great woman and warrior, she could be a good friend too if we achieve that someday. Maybe I'm crazy well for sure I am, I have a plan and if he's gonna rejects her at least he will know that she will not gonna be alone for log time, I know that I'm trespassing my limits with this but I have to help her someway. Chad was the warrior I sent for her when she was in her bedroom so he has to be her mate, I called him so he has to be with me on this meeting, I pretended to needs him in case we need some strategies. I heard a knock on the door while I was on the office with Mrs. Moon.
Come in - I said - welcome Chad
You requested for my presence here Alpha? - he said
Yes, I did,please come in, I have to discuss some matters with Mrs. Moon before but you can listen. - I told him and pretended to continues with my reunion.
As I was saying Mrs. Moon, Clarissa will be my representative at the Supreme Council so she will be barely on my lands but since this fact I will need to talk to the other packs to informs them about this, she's no longer a rogue so she will not be treated as one by anyone. - I said
That's perfect but she doesn't have a mate waiting for her? - Mrs. Moon asked
Yes, about that, in effect she found him but probably she will be rejected and I want to ask you and the Supreme Council for a favor. - I said
Is a shame, I saw a great future with them but what is your request Keishre's?- Mrs. Moon said, there was a hint of hurt on her voice, like she failed once again with mating.
If she get rejected I want the council assigns to her a new mate like they did with me- I said firmly
But that's only for hunters and the leader of the Council - she said surprised
I'm aware of that but as the leader I am and as the representative she will be I want to give her that right, she doesn't deserve to be unmated. - I said this time a bit pissed
Wait, what are you talking about? - Chad asked - which Clarissa are you sending away?
I doesn't have to answer that Chad because you seems to forgot who are you talking to but I'm talking about the Clarissa that came with the rogue's pack. She will gonna be my representative at the Council as you heard but she needs a partner capable enough to stay with her and accompany her through this journey and since she doesn't have one I will gonna give her one. - I know that this words will gonna hit on his ego, it was his time to decide if he will lose her or accept her, I know I'm pushing things but is the only way, he wouldn't reacts until he think that he lost her.
No, you'll not gonna give her to anyone - he said rising his voice
I can and I will Chad, if her partner are blind enough to see what kind of woman he was mated with then she deserves someone who loves her as she is. Someone who doesn't care if she was a rogue or not because he only wants to be with her and makes her happy. Someone who can see a life by her side and care for her like my mates do with me. Now if you excuse us we have to continue our conversation - I could see the rage on his eyes and it was like he suddenly woke up.
You're not gonna give her to anyone I said, she's MINE and no one deserves her more than me. - he said
You don't have to tells me that you have to tells her that because in this moment she's preparing her luggage for tomorrow and she think that is better to go instead of remains here with someone who will rejects her, because if you didn't knew she has the pack's mind link and she could hear what you said about her being a rogue and you told Mrs. Moon has to hate you for doing that, even Me heard what you thought and I'm really disappointed with you because I know how it feels being rejected. - I said and I was really pissed off at this point
You said I hated you? - Mrs. Moon said - Young Man you know why I mated you with her?  She was the best warrior on her pack, she can love like no one on her pack couldn't except for her leader. She has been in love of the same person for years knowing that he loves other girl, she was loyal to him as a leader besides her feelings, she could give her life for the people she cares, she accepted keishre's as her alpha knowing that she was the woman that the man he loves was in love. She grew up alone because she didn't have a family and you're judging my criteria to pair soulmates? Certainly you don't deserves her and you will be lucky if she decides to give you another chance. Now get out. I don't want to see you.
It was the day that Clarissa should go with the Council and outside the Alphas house was a huge discussion that woke me up. When I saw by my side my mates weren't here with me, suddenly I felt empty, I wanted to cry and I did. Last night we finished our mating process but I didn't expect to wake up all alone. For a moment I forgot that they can feels me and they arrived at the same time worried to my bedroom and I was crying.
What's wrong babe? - they told me
I....I... I must be the dumbest girl in the world, I woke up alone and I started to cry when I didn't saw you here with me. I felt like the most horrible person in the world thinking that you don't wanted to be with me because you didn't liked what happened last night. - like a little girl I covered my face with the sheets, what's happening to me? I'm never ever has been so girly in my life.
Babe we wanted to give you a surprise so we went downstairs and we couldn't finish because we heard about the discussion outside - Mason said
Everything was the best that could happened to me in my entire life - Max said
If you ever said again that we will not wanted to be with you again we will gonna be really mad at you, we love you keishre, we want to be with you every day and night. - Trent said
So, what's going on there? - I asked curiously
Apparently Clarissa rejected his mate because he told her that she was a rat for telling you he was her mate and how it was possible that a rogue will gonna have another guy and that she was even lucky to have her. She slapped him and then rejected him but then she kick his ass. - Trent said
He deserves it, yesterday he told that Mrs. Moon hated him for gave him a rogue as his mate and then he pretend to care that I will assigns her a new mate. He told she was his and then he said those things to him, his an idiot. - I said - but why didn't you interfered?
Are you crazy? Did you saw her? She's a mad woman I wouldn't fight with her in that state of mind. The only crazy one enough to do it was you. Even Trent told us that he will be a dead man. Besides we were naked, not in our wolves, did you want her to see us your matelacs naked? I'm not ready to die yet. - Mason said
You will be dead men if you do that, but that leads to the question I will be a widow? For how long? Because the Council will assigns me other mate......
Not gonna happen, no,no,no, young girl you're a pretty bad girl and we're not gonna leave you or die so soon so you have to deal with us - Maxwell said and they jumped to the bed over me.
Today is the big day, my matelacs will be presented to the pack. I will wore a long black fitted strapless dress with lace that shows a little bit of my belly with black and silver tone earrings and metallic shoes. With my purple hair the black dress was stunning. My mates wore  black tuxedos with red shirts, they really looks awesome. We went to the backyard where everything was ready, they lit the candles and it was amazing. Oh right I forgot to tells you, here in Shadows Blood we have a particular ceremony, when someone is becoming the Alpha or in this case Matelacs they have to lit the candles because they're accepting that as a leader they have to be a light for the pack and take wise decisions for the best of all the members. They swear that they will be compassionate, to take care of them with their lives and no matter what always listen to their needs and problems and find a way to solve them if they can do it or give them choices to do it. We can't humiliate them or makes them feels lower because we become a family. Everything was perfect, we dance, we laugh and everything accepted my mates as they're matelacs. Yes I know that I created the term Matelacs for my purple princes but they accepted to calls them that way, my pack said that I'm special for being different and they're part of my life so if that implies to be different too they will do it, they loved to be different with me because they don't want another leader and I'm happy for that. I always hid myself for being different and now they love me for that for being just Me. I can't believe it. Some of the pack members asked me why hunters need a Supreme Council, well if the hunters are pure they always gonna follow up their instincts to kills other species but when you have people that even when they're hunters they belongs to other species they can assure themselves to take the right choices. You'll see if you want war with wolves the hunter wolf will analyze every detail and determine if its right to betray someone on her own species. It sounds weird but even humans use this method, they protects their nations and people but sometimes attack others at the end they're attacking their own kind and I'm not judging I'm trying to explain. Anyway hunters needs people to stop them sometimes.  Fortunately they understood this.
I can't believe that Dayna and Chris are waiting their first baby, the doctor's today them that it will be a boy and they decided to calls him Darren Sebastian. I am so happy I will be an aunt.
Keish, I have to tell you something - Daina said
What happened? Are you alright? The baby is coming already? - I asked worried
No, everything is fine, Darren will come in two weeks you knows that. Is just that I want to tells you something that I kept a secret but is nothing bad and Im gonna tells you as a friend, not interested anymore. When we were younger I liked Mason but I never said anything because I saw how he looked at you. When you were outside the house he was always watching you through the window and pretended not to do it when someone could see him. I started to think that he likes you because every time I saw him looking at you he smiled and was the most pure and prettiest smile I've ever seen. What I want to tells you is that even when you all denied the feelings for the other one and hid it for yourself and I'm talking about all of you, it was obvious that you were meant to be together. Is not like most of the couple's that hate each other or bullied each other until they find each other, all of them fell in love with you even without knowing you, even without knows that you were meant to be together. They could give their lives for you and you knows that. Even when I likes him he will never have seen me as the way he did to you and I'm grateful for that because I have an awesome mate and you have three great matelacs. I know that you always said that you didn't wanted to choose and you didn't because when someone or something is meant to be yours they shine and one smile or one glare can say everything. What is mean to be yours always reach you and always wait for you. It doesn't need to see other girls, it doesn't need to be on other arms, beds or even other hearts because he will knows that doesn't belongs there and that always being someone's waiting for him and he will find you no matter what.
