Werewolf stuff or whatever

Chatper Tan

I woke up the next day, feeling sore and in pain. I slowly moved my hand to my neck, where Iain had marked me the previous night.

The bite was still a bit raw but it had started to heal a little bit.

I stared at the sleeping Alpha in front of me and slowly moved my hand to his cheek. As soon as my hand touched his face, his eyes shot open.

He was smiling at me.

It took me a few seconds to realise it...but the mating ceremony did not work. Panicked, I tried touching him again.

Nothing.

"Iain...do you feel anything? Because I don't ! The mating didn't work. I... I still...for Xavier..."

He sat up, frowning.

"It should have. We've both rejected our mates back, cutting the bond ties... And sealed new ones with the mating and marking. It should've created a new bond between us !"

"Rejected... " I gasped. "I haven't ! I haven't said the words to him yet ! That I accept his rejection !"

He stared at me, his frown lessening.

"I suppose that is why it didn't work... You will have to face him. And reject him back. That's the only way to definitively break the bond between the two of you."

"How are we going to do that... I don't want to see him ever again."

"You'll have to. For your sake...and ours."

He put a hand on my cheek and leaned in for a kiss. He then pulled back and we stayed there for a while, touching foreheads and staring in each other's eyes.

"Alright. I will do it. I want you to take me back...to the Dark Night pack."

"It's settled then. We're going today."

It sounded like such a rushed decision...maybe I wasn't ready yet to meet him again. I don't know how I would react once I saw him, or how the mate bond will affect me when I see him.

I watched Iain get out of bed, blushing a little at the sight of his naked body, turning my eyes away. He swiftly showered and got dressed then left the room, to prepare for our leave.

I got out of bed as well, and took care of my morning routine. I left the room as I was done and tried guessing my way downstairs.

Finally ! The living room !

I thought as I walked inside, seeing many new werewolf faces all staring at me. They must have smelled Iain scent on me and were trying to figure out what was happening...they couldn't have noticed the mark since I made sure to cover it up with some shawl.

I didn't really know what to say or how to act around them : Was I supposed to act as a Luna? But Iain and I haven't been fully mated because of the rejection issue... And he's the one supposed to make a proper announcement to his pack.

Just as I was thinking that, I noticed the werewolves lowering their head and nodding hello to someone behind me. I immediately recognized the scent to be Iain's.

He walked to stand right beside me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to his side.

"I see some of you have already met your future Luna." He said casually.

Hophelia could hear some of them gasp and whisper amongst themselves. It was big news after all... A new Luna !

She smiled their way then focused on Iain who offered her some breakfast.

"We'll be leaving soon. I've told Alexander to prepare the car for us. He'll be joining us in our journey...I hope you don't mind. Of course, I haven't made him privy of the specifics of our visit."

Iain told her, thought his mouth didn't move. She heard his voice in her head ! Of course. He was mind linking her. The mating might not have been complete to form a new mate bond between them, but the mixing of their two bloods allowed for them to communicate in such a way.

"We can mind link now." I remarked, my voice filled with surprise.

"Yes." He said before adding. "We don't want the pack members to overhear our conversations now do we? Although some of them might have been woken up by the moans of a special she wolf I heard...."

I blushed. Fully aware of what he was referring to.

"You !" I said hitting his leg with my foot, from under the table so the other wolves wouldn't see.

We ate our fill then both walked to the garage where I could see all sorts of cars, some fancier than others. Iain walked me to a black Jeep where Alexander was already seated, in the driver seat.

"Alright, you ready, Alpha? Luna?" He said turning the ignition on and setting off, taking us closer to the Dark Night pack territory with every mile.

Soon, I will stand face to face with Xavier.
