Laurel Monterello's POVThe harsh words fell from his lips.SlutWhoreHe growled dangerously, "You seduced me."Those eyes that looked at me with love and lust a few minutes ago had new emotions in them. Emotions I never saw coming.We were alone, in a cave for days with me in heat and he expected nothing to happen between us. We were mates!I was so shocked, my voice didn't convey the right words. I wanted to curse but instead, I mumbled. "What." He came closer. "I said, you seduced me you bitch!" He lunged for my neck but I saw it coming and moved swiftly to the side."You weren't saying that when you nearly broke my hips!" I lunged for him also but he pushed me harshly causing me to land awkwardly on the concrete ground.He pinned up against the wall. "I was only trying to be a gentleman by saving you from the unmated male wolves. I had no intention of mating with you." His eyes turned slits.That hurt. Much more than I cared to admit.Spitting out the words, I wanted to hurt him
Tommaso Castello's POVAfter dinner, Laurel raced to her room, leaving everyone dumbfounded. The news was shocking. I could kill my mate. I wasn't sure how to process it but I knew I couldn't take her back. It was just a small sacrifice to pay for the sake of my pack. Right?Getting to my room, I called Lorenzo, my gamma to talk about the discovery.Slouching in my seat, I inquired, "What do I do?"Not getting a response, I looked over at him. He was simply staring at me, not uttering a word."What?"He replied, "I think you need help.""Please, I need help on this. I think I'm losing my mind." I ran a hand through my hair. "I've trained all my life for this and it's slowing falling apart and I'm not even alpha yet," I added with a wry laugh."You brought this upon yourself if you ask me. You should have simply accepted her. The Moon Goddess knows best."I growled, my anger rising. "What would become of the pack then? The laughingstock of werewolves?"He wasn't bothered by my outburs
Laurel Monterello's POVI made my way out of my room to find another pack meeting in order. The alpha beamed a smile as everyone gathered including my parents. I found Gemma and Alessia at the foot of the stairs. We were all confused but that didn't seem to shimmer the alpha's mood. It was only then that I noticed Tom. He looked directly at me, throwing me a smirk before looking at his dad."Everyone," the alpha beamed. "Tomorrow, we'll host the tournament to pick your luna!" Gasps filled the air. My dad turned to his friend, seeming as shocked as the rest of us.Whispers began flying with Tom not bothered as ever. Something told me he was behind it all. Matter flew to my side, mumbling words I did not care to understand. He really meant it. I couldn't believe he was doing this to me."A true luna mustn't prepare for battle and is always alert to aid her alpha. It shall take place from dusk till dawn." The alpha states with a firm voice. "The news has been sent to other packs for t
Tomasso Castello's POVI sat in my seat, losing interest in the battle till I caught a glimpse of Laurel. I was a little stunned to find her participating. I was sure she wasn't going to as her ego was almost as big as her boobs.She gave the field a strange look, her eyes searching for something. My interest was piqued when she walked in. The alpha announced the battle immediately.A large female wolf went for her and my heart dropped in fear. She had a bad reputation and was hated by more than half of the female population in the pack. It was more of jealousy as she was prettier than most and was the most wanted female wolf. With each passing second, female wolves raged towards her. Her skills impressed me slightly as she won every battle with little injuries.She almost made it out when an average wolf went for her hind leg. I almost jumped in my seat as my mate jumped in fear. The stranger moved with precision, she was well aware of what she was doing, involving fear in her oppon
Laurel Monterello's POV"Happy birthday Laurel!" Alessia squealed as she pushed my front door open and headed straight for my curtains, her mini skirt swayed with her hips as she sauntered to my window."Don't even dare!" I said with the exact tone but it was too late. Rays of lights streamed through, attacking my eyes in seconds. I could only moan in pain and annoyance as Gemma sat at the foot of my bed with concern etched on her face. "How does it feel to be eighteen? If you are lucky, you will find your mate today!" Gemma squealed, pulling my foot while I tried pushing her away without moving too much."It feels like hell." I let out a groan, returning under my duvet."Just where were you last night? We searched all the borders for you. I was even tempted to call for a search party."I peered slightly from under the black duvet to find Alessia with her hands hanging from her hips, spotting a frown as she shook her head in disapproval, her brunette strands falling in waves over her
Tommaso Castello's POVWith intense silence, the brown papers stared at me in mockery. Watching as the pages flip from the wind, I buried myself deeper within my seat. My wolf growled in protest, "why did you reject her? She's our mate!"I ignored him as he clawed against the barrier I had put up to avoid his pestering.Suddenly, he went quiet. Curious, I pulled down the wall to have him yell. "I warned you against rejecting her for years! I thought I had finally gotten through to you so why did you do it?"It was starting to hurt. My head ached as he pushed on the barrier, trying to claw his way to the surface, to take over. I held him down, knowing well if he surfaced he'll go after Laurel, my rejected mate and I didn't plan on going back on my word.Not being able to contain myself, I let out a yell. My head banged hard as he continued to fight me. I slipped out of my seat and on dropped to the white, marble tile. Cocooning with my head in my lap, I yelled at him to quit fighting
Laurel Monterello's POVWalking back from school, my gaze fell in the direction of the pack house. With frozen feet, my thoughts ran wild. I wanted to see him, speak to him but I couldn't. No matter how much my wolf, Gain pestered me. I could never beg him for his love.Wanting to be around people, anything to make me forget about the rejection, I walked over to be pack house. My hands froze on the doorknob for over a minute as I collected my thoughts. Would I be able to control my wolf if I saw him?Would I snap in frustration when his scent whipped past me?Would I freak out and make a fool of myself?Decided against it even as Gain, my wolf begged me to go in, my lanky hands lowered from the knob. From where I stood, I got whiffs of his scent proving he was near. My wolf clawed and tried to take control to get to her mate."He wants us!" She snarled. With my internal struggle, I didn't notice the front door open, almost making contact with my face."Are you okay?"My eyes lifted t
Laurel Monterello's POVI walked down the halls, heading for my locker and fully aware of the eyes on me as I walked alone. I was never alone. Gemma and Alessia were nowhere in sight neither were they in their rooms at the pack house when I tried to apologize. They weren't at my locker or theirs. I knew they were avoiding me. I got insane on birthdays but never snapped at them. Yesterday was a first and we suddenly didn't know how to act around each other.A sigh left my lips as my fingers unlocked the lock. It gave a loud bang as I forced it open, drawing attention that I didn't need or want."What?!" I snapped at the brunette beside me as she gave me an unwavering stare. Hands up in surrender was the response I got and a mumbled apology that was anything but sincere.I turned to find a mini skirt in my line of sight. I lifted my gaze to a pair of black orbs glancing at my outfit. It was one of those days when I didn't give care and just pulled anything my hands could find.Her perfe
