"You what?" Tears jumped into my eyes and my vision became blurry. Finn flinched at the pain visible on my face. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist and pulled me tight against his chest. "I'm so sorry Autumn," He mumbled against my hair. Tears stained my cheeks and the world was spinning around me.

All this time I thought Finn was my mate, our bond was so amazingly perfect, it seemed unbreakable. How wrong I was. I laughed at my bitter thoughts and sobbed against Finn's chest, wetting his shirt.

Never had I even thought of the possibility that Finn didn't belong to me, or maybe I'd just suppressed the thought.

From the moment me and Finn met, I knew he was something special to me. The memory of Finn with his braces and star wars sweatshirt was like stab in my back, how he smiled at me back then summoned more tears. We met at the Chris' birthday, Chris was our Alpha. I didn't know he was the Alpa's son back then, so I was teasing him about his braces all night. I was about eight and he was nine, we became friends and it had always been that way. Three years ago we kissed for the first time, he was thirteen.

Finn turned sixteen a week ago, and since then he'd been distant. He hadn't touched me or kissed me, hadn't even talked to me. I knew something was up, but I didn't want to believe my suspicions.

And today he told me. He found his mate.

It hurt, a lot. As if someone cut out my heart with a knife slowly ripping it out. Finn's hand stroke my hair as he comforted me. I felt weak, dependent, pathetic and stupid.

Stupid because I believed that the Alpha's son was my mate.

Pathetic because I couldn't stop crying over it.

Dependent because I didn't know how to move on without Finn's kisses and love.

Weak, because there was nothing I could do.

"Do you love her?" I looked up at Finn and studied his tightened jaw. He avoided my gaze and I got my answer, of course he loved her. What did I expect?

His dark brown eyes used to weaken my legs and drop my stomach, but now they didn't look the same. It wasn't the same adoring gaze he always studied my face with. Now he found his Luna, his feelings for me were gone, just a mere memory. I wanted to cry more, but I put on my big girl panties and wiped the wet saltiness from my cheekbones. I inhaled his scent deeply and pushed him away.

"It's okay," I whispered with a shaky voice. He blinked and looked at me, completely stunned. He gently pushed a strand of hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead.

"It's so confusing Autumn," he said "every part of my body, my wolf wants her. " I cringed but nodded." I understand Finn," I interrupt him but he stopped me by holding up his hand.

"But, my heart, my old heart still belongs to you. I don't know what I feel, or what I want to feel. I only know what I have to feel, and I need to become the Alpha, without my Luna, I can't."

I sighed, this was hard for him too. He didn't want this, he too always thought we were meant to be. I was his, he was mine, forever. I'd have to make it easier for the both of us, there was only one way and I was determinded to stop this heartache.

"I'll fix it, for the both of us." I replied calmly as I stood on my toes and pecked him on the lips.

He frowned but before he could protest I jumped out of his window and ran into the woods.

Are you okay?

I smiled relieved when I heard the voice of my wolf, Kiera.

I'm fine, I'm going to shift now if that's fine with you?
