Rejected Mate, Innocent Assassin.

Chapter 4

Ch 4 – Jessica Smith – POV (Anna & Anya’s Mother)

I gave one to my mate (James Donahue) because I knew he would never stop trying to find me.  He was a werewolf and I’m human. I cannot live in his world. He is the third Rank in what they call a Pack and he commands a certain amount of respect. He has cheated on me and it hurt.  When I ran I knew I was pregnant but I didn’t care. I almost lost the baby (I didn’t know it was twins) when he cheated.

I swore to love my baby but when Anya was one and a.half years I happened to see my mate. He was with another woman, someone who he had marked, unlike me who was never marked. I knew then that he had never loved me. I lived with him for 18 months, but he never marked me.

He said it was because a human could not bitten, but here he is with a human. How do I know she is human? Because I’m a witch, of course no one knows this, hell not even I knew it until the night my twins were born. I felt the power course through me after I pushed Anna out.  The power was so dreadful that I got scared and almost passed out, but a wonderful nurse help me through because I had another baby to push out of me. Anya was born 12 minutes later, they looked almost the same except for the birth mark on Anya, it seemed to be a combination of both a crescent moon and a pentagram.

When the midwife saw this she told me I needed to protect this child with everything in me. She is what is known as a hybrid and she has also been blessed by the gods. She also asked me who I really was but I couldn't answer. I have been Jessica Smith since I was one year old and left at an orphanage with a blanket with the name Jessica embroidered on it, a silver necklace with the most unusual pendant, a few pieces of clothes and a stuffed toy. A place I stayed in for years until I was moved from foster home to foster home until I met James.

I kept Anya and I  loved her because she is mine and James. She looks a lot like him. I wonder about Anna and prayed that she is well. But now it hurt looking at my mate and that bitch that he marked. I know I ran and made him believe I was dead but I still felt hurt looking at the mark, I also realized that she was pregnant.

The rage I felt was unbelievable and I could not stop what was happening, the power coursing through me together with hate. Next thing I heard a woman screaming, when I looked I saw the bitch screaming and crying as blood flowed from between her legs. Then she fainted and I, I ran. I grabbed Anya and left the country  that night. I was scared and I had little or no money and the power in me was trying to consume me.  Everything change after that I no longer cared for anything. I had taken an innocent life in my anger and hate, I could no longer look at my baby without feeling that anger and hate and guilt nor could I look after her and protect her as I should. I tried many times to lose Anya by abandoning her, but she always found me.

Charles approached me when Anya was just 6 years, said he had been observing her for the past year and think that she had the potential to become someone great and that his Training Institution could help her. I didn’t hesitate. Almost immediately I made plans to leave, I knew when I left Anya and told her to stay, she would listen. She always listened, was always obedient. I was sobbing as I left her in the ice cream shop. I had already made arrangements for the furniture etc. to be moved. I hope that Anya would be safe and well taken care of. I will miss her.  I hope the protection spell the midwife placed on Anya suppressing her powers keep her safe.

I met Anna Donahue when she was 16 years old. I was a nurse at their school. I had changed my appearance a bit and learn a few spells that helped me mask my scent. She looked a lot like Anya except her hair was not as pale and her eyes were a lighter shade of blue and of course she had no birth mark.
