Operation Unite The Beasts.

Triggered memories

~Talon's POV~
I raced through the woods, driven by my pain, the moon was already high in the sky, I couldn't tell how long I had been running for since I left that clearing, I had lost track of time.

I pushed myself harder, trying in vain to relieve the pain in my heart, my chest felt so tight and stuffy, each breath was painful, I felt like I would pass out any moment, panting hard, I came to a sharp stop when I realized my usual relieve wasn't helping this time, when I rejected Jay, I had felt I wouldn't survive the pain, somehow I had, but something told me I wouldn't be so lucky this time, the pain was intense.

I was glad she hadn't insisted on us accepting the rejection, I couldn't imagine putting her through this, the pain slammed into me continuously, radiating from my heart to every other part of my body, I was left with no relieve.

I lifted my head, howling my pain up to the moon, looking at the moon, the pain doubled and I whimpered crumbling to the ground as I was force shifted into my human form, somehow I understood what the moon was trying to remind me, that it was all my fault, curling around my self, I gritted my teeth, refusing to let my tears fall, letting out another whimper, I felt Raine in my mind, he had shut me out after the rejection.

"Give me control Talon." he mindlinked me softly, relinquishing control to him, I felt the pain reduce drastically as my wolf took on the bulk for me.

"Thank you." I whimpered gratefully, he hummed in response, I could feel he was in intense pain, I sighed feeling like the scum of the earth.

"I'm sorry Raine, I'm so sorry." I said quietly, he gave no reply but I understood his silence, he was angry at me but i was his other half and he would never let me be in pain, not when he could do something about it, he didn't agree with me but he loved me, and that was what mattered most, closing my eyes, I shifted and lay down, deciding to let my wolf be among the elements he loved, badly hoping it would provide even the slightest of relief, as I settled down in the quiet of the woods, my mind wandered.

~flashback~

"I Alpha Jaylen Alexander Shadow..." Jay began, I looked up at him in shock and hurt,

"I..." he trailed off, looking away, I realized, he couldn't do it, shaking off the slight comfort I felt from that, I knew it was up to me.

"I Alpha Talon Raine Moon of Crescent Moon Pack reject you, Alpha Jaylen Alexander Shadow of Blood Shadow Pride as my mate." I said without a breath, hearing his sharp gasp of pain, I looked up at him in shock, as he grabbed the wall for support,

' what had I done?' I thought in horror, as I saw his beautiful features scrunch up in pain, he looked up at me, those blue orbs held so much hurt and pain, I sucked in a sharp breath as I felt my heart breaking at the sight, steadying himself, he struggled to an erect position, taking a deep breath in, he shut his eyes.

The moment his eyes fluttered open, I felt myself grow cold at the look he gave me, smiling coldly, he replied,

"I Alpha Jaylen Alexander Shadow of Blood Shadow Pride gladly accept your rejection Alpha Talon Raine Moon." I gasped as my chest tightened in pain, closing my eyes with gritted teeth, I struggled to take in a breath, grabbing at my shirt, he briefly looked at me before turning and walking away, stopping halfway,

"From this moment henceforth, I and my pride will have absolutely nothing to do with you and your pack, I'd also appreciate it if you stayed out of my sight." he informed me without turning, not waiting for a reply, he headed out, and the farther he got out of my sight, the more I fell apart.

~flashback over~

My eyes fluttered open, looking around I registered that we were still in the forest. I was now in my human form, I immediately checked in with my wolf, noticing he was resting, the pain had subsided to a bearable extent, and I took complete control from him, easing his burden, he hummed tiredly and I sighed fully aware that for it to be possible for me to sleep through all that, Raine must have expended a lot of effort.
