Oracle Of The Moon

Played with fire -Lucy's POV

Lucy's POV-

"Mate." The word came out of his mouth with such claim and power that his voice sounded so unhuman-like. It sent a shiver down my spine.

I would have loved to hear that word spoken to me over and over again. I loved that word coming out of his mouth... except for the fact that it wasn't directed at me.

Suddenly I felt pain run through my chest as I looked at the two of them. He had her in a strong embrace protecting her from the entire world. He ran his fingers up her spine sensually. I felt my heart crack as I saw the way he looked at her. I couldn't look away as I watched her run her hands up his chest and into his hair... my mate's hair.

I heard a whimper come out of my mouth and felt arms stop me from falling. I couldn't breathe and the world was spinning. What was happening? He was my mate! The moon goddess told me so!

Pain and sorrow: It's all I felt. It's all I could register. It went through my chest and I couldn't stop the tears that fell down my cheeks. Pain. Sorrow.

I looked at her and I felt so ugly. The female that was in his arms was gorgeous. She looked like exactly what you'd think an alpha's mate would look like. She had long luscious brown hair with honey blond highlights, she had brown eyes that resembled melted chocolate chips; they bored into Kale's hazel eyes strikingly, her skin was a light caramel color with no visible flaws making it known that she wasn't locked in a basement for most of her life like I was. She was beautiful in every way that mattered, flawless. There was no way that I could compete with that.

I could feel my wolf try to claw its way out of my body. If I were able to shift, I would have in that moment. I hated that she was so close to him, my mate.

It didn't register to me that the growl that filled the room was mine. The only thing I could think of was my pain and anger at the woman for taking what was supposed to be my mate. He was supposed to be mine. There was no way that he would pick me over her. I felt my anger flare at that thought and let another growl out while pushing the arms that were around me off.

I had finally caught the attention of the two people who had claimed to be mates. The girl instantly let out a ferocious growl. I didn't let that deter me though, she was touching my mate. She was trying to claim my mate. I had never felt so mad in my life. I was ready to kill.

"Lucy..." I heard but didn't really register that someone spoke. I didn't care, he was my mate!

I saw claws come out of the girl's hand and my foresight told me that she was about to swipe at me. I quickly sidestepped it and grabbed her arm painfully. She let out a loud whine as I let my claws scratch her.

"Stop, and don't you dare try to hit me ever again!" I ground out as a warning. I could feel my wolf wanting to break her arm, but I threw it down with a huff instead. She was lucky that I had such a tight rein on my wolf side. The girl growled loudly at me and tried lunge at me. I had already known what she was going to do and quickly threw her away from me to the other side of the room making her hit the wall with force.

"I said to STOP!" I yelled with power in my tone. The windows shook at my loudness and everyone in the room except the two Alphas bowed at my command.

She whined and after a few minutes of catching her breath, she made her way back to Kale. She put an arm around him with a look of victory making my wolf want to tear her apart. I balled my fists in rage and my claws cut my hands deeply. I could smell the blood that was dripping from the cuts, but I couldn't feel them though, I just felt anger coursing through me. I growled again when she snarled at me.
