14. The Oracle

Avery's Pov (A week later)

"No!!" I yelled furiously banging my fist on the table, my wolf was out as I growled at Alpha and the Oracle in front of me. We sat here, telling the oracle about me finding my mate. She wasn't as shocked as she was supposed to be and somehow knew as if she waiting for this to happen. She wasn't even surprised when I mentioned that my mate was female. But throughout this whole discussion, she never once said anything yet. She just listened to us, thinking.

"Avery calm down," Alpha demanded, his arms crossed. Mum placed her hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down but I pushed her hand off it. I growled, tugging on my hair. I can't leave her!

"No, how do you want me to calm down?! I can't live without her, you know that and you want me to leave her?!" I raged out again, I was livid. I'm not leaving my mate. Not now. Not ever. They cannot make me do such a thing.

"There's nothing we can do Avery," Jake mumbled. I glared at him.

"You can let me be with her," I stated and Alpha put his hand up.

"You know we can't do that, what happens when the full moon comes?" he asks now looking at me pointedly.

"I'll control myself. It won't be that hard, please Alpha, you can't do this to me." I begged. Jake's dad has always been another dad to me. He needs to trust me, it can't be that hard to control myself when I go into heat, I know she's young, I would never do anything till she's 18 and ready. Please. I pleaded now. I can't lose her. I can't. She's my mate.

"Avery, I'm sorry. If something happens, you know what will they will do, the Elders are not forgiving." He says softly now. By this, tears were already pouring down my face. I fell to the ground.

"I can't- please, please." I sobbed, my wolf wailed and my heart shattered, I was so numb, I could hear a ringing sound in my ears again, no.

"Sweetie, calm down, hey." Mum kneeled beside me and pulled me for a hug. I sobbed and cried into her, grasping her blouse, and heaving.

"Mum, I can't not see her, please. I'll go crazy, I just found her. I know I can control myself. Please." I begged, whispering in her ear. She says nothing but held me tighter.

"Avery, listen, I'll give you time till you have to leave for the academy. Since your heat will only start 3 full moons from next week, you have 3 months. Then I want you to stay on campus, or get a place. You can see her, but have to remain just friends." Alpha says again and I curled my fingers into a fist, trying not to get angry again.

"Will I get to try, just once to see if I can control myself? We don't even know if the bond is there. She isn't a wolf and she isn't old enough. What if there's nothing?" I try, goddess please, give me something, I cannot be apart from her, I can't. I looked at him and he sighs.

"Fine, just once. If anything happens, you know what will happen." Alpha says and I nod, sighing sadly.

My heart ached at what was happening. How was I going to tell her? What do I say? Do I tell her the truth?

"I can help you with something." Zara, the Oracle said, her eyes hard and stoic. I immediately looked at her, my eyes silently begging for something.

"You can give her a forgetting potion. She'll have no memory of you, and meeting you and you keep it that way till she's 18. Her memories may or may not come back then." I shook my head, no. I can't do that. No. I've got to let her go for two years? What if she meets someone else? No, she's mine.

"There is another way and I'm going to be frank and say you won't be able to control yourself during heat. You're a beta, and you're taking over the pack soon, the power you have in you is at its peak, and you need your mate by your side through this. And it's only fair that it happens that way. But, you know the rules, mates are not allowed to mark each other or mate until both are 18 and are consenting to it. You can tell her this, but when your heat comes, I'll give you a potion that will suppress your heat. It'll keep you intact and not want to jump your mate or anyone else during that time. Though we have to try it out and see if it works for you, it might not be strong enough, as in you can be around her but no touching her at all during those 3 days." she explains and my thoughts are all over the place, my wolf is a mess, crying, not wanting to let our mate go.
