Soul Mates

Hope

*Carolina's POV*

My treacherous wolf is elated, 'Mate' she shouts. She doesn't understand why I don't just run into our mate's arms. I don't expect her to understand. She wasn't there when he ripped my heart out, when he broke my spirit to pieces. She was still dormant back then, awakening only on my 18th birthday. Oh yeah, that was an awesome birthday present. 

I take a step closer to Logan. My wolf fights for control. Honestly, I don't know why she even tries. I've never allowed her to take full control of our actions. My son, AJ, is now standing next to me holding my hand. Is he trying to hold me back? Is he worried I'll throw myself at Logan? There's no need for him to worry, the mate pull is strong but my hatred is stronger. I smile reassuringly at him and let go of his hand. 

"Mate" I hear Logan say. I don't think about it twice, I know exactly what to do. I step closer to him, smile seductively, put my hand on his chest and say, "I, Carolina Thomas, former Luna of the Boston Pack, reject you, Logan Matthews, Alpha of the Starlight Pack as my mate."

*Logan's POV*

She rejected us? I hear Raegor whimpering. The pain of her rejection burns through me like fire. Everything hurts, but I won't accept this. I've dreamt about Mia being my mate for so long and now the moon goddess has granted me my wish. I'd rather die before I allow Mia to sever the mate bond without a fight.

She's smiling but I know her better than she knows herself. Her eyes are showing the pain her own rejection has caused her. She starts to leave and I hold her by the wrist. Sparks shoot up my arm from the touch. "I don't accept your rejection. Do you understand, Mia? I will never accept your rejection." She pulls her hand away from me and rubs her wrist like it hurts, but I know she's trying to erase the sparks. 

As long as I don't accept her rejection the mate bond remains open. As long as I don't accept it, there's still hope. She gets into her SUV, a brand new Jaguar I-Pace, and drives away. I have so many questions, how is she a wolf? Did she say her name is now Carolina Thomas? The former Luna of the Boston Pack? A growl escapes my lips, just the thought of her being with another wolf is enough drive my beast insane.
