Episode 19

James: I seriously mean nothing to you.

I told him with a trembling voice, I felt my wolf wanting to come out, swirling inside me the jealousy and anger of knowing that my mate desired another wolf and not me.

Sofia: Do you really want me to tell you? Or do you define it for yourself, I don't love you, I don't want to settle for just being the wife of a second, who will always be in the shadow of the sun and that's not for me.

James: Are you serious? Because after breaking the bond there will be no turning back.

Sofia: If you don't do it, I will, because I don't want you as my mate, I deserve better, a queen's life, and with you I won't have it, so make it easy for me.

At that moment I realized, she would never see me as her destined, in fact I would never be with her, she despised me, so with a broken heart and my soul tearing apart I lifted my face and said.

James: I, James O'Connell, future beta of the Blood Moon pack, reject you Sofia Smith as my mate, life partner and future mother of my children.

Sofia: I, Sofia Smith, accept your rejection as your mate, life partner and future mother of your children.

After that I fell with a sharp pain in my chest. I didn't feel anything else.

I wake up and see Stephen lying next to me

James: Dude, what are you doing in my room?

He wakes up and sees me and hugs me immediately

Stephen: Dude, you woke up, you've been sleeping for 3 days, we called the pack doctor and he said that your bond with your mate was broken, what happened?

James: I realized she would never choose me so I broke it.

Stephen: Ok buddy, so from today on it's just you and me, so moving on we have to get over this and move on because we are still young, we have to train and be the best.

From that day on, everything went uphill like foam, some time later I learned that Sofia's family was asking the alpha to sew her back together as his Luna because they saw her as dishonored, at that moment we realized that her father was the one who had been fighting to stay as beta and there we realized that they only wanted power, so we banished them from the pack.

When Stephen turned 22, his great friend stopped communicating with him, which drove him crazy, he didn't understand why he didn't answer his calls anymore. It destroyed him, he was depressed for a few days but there I was taking care of him and encouraging him like he did with me.

After a while he decided to move on and from there between Stephen and I everything was going well we went out, we had fun and we drank, we went out with girls nothing serious just sex.

But today, 16 years later, William returns, I have seen my poor friend going through ups and downs.

He's really in love with him, and from what I've been able to tell, he's not entirely indifferent to him, and besides, the fiance instead of being bothered that his boyfriend sighs for another, seems amused.

Although there's something going around in my head and that is that when Russell invited us to the bar to celebrate the partnership, by chance and not because I'm a gossip I overheard Tyler saying to William.

Tyler: William you have to tell him, you won't be able to hold on much longer like this, besides your seal is a few days away, you already found him it will be more painful for you.

William: I already said no Ty, I know I said that this would be over when we found our mates and we wouldn't talk about it anymore, but I can't with him

Tyler: and what do you plan to do? Suffer and let him suffer, this could backfire.

At that moment William hugged him and started crying.

Tyler: I'm sorry baby, I understand, I'm sorry, you know you're not only my bed partner but also my best friend. That's why I worry about you, I support you as always ok.

This one gave him a kiss on the forehead and then holding hands they entered the bar.

That was an unusual little chat to have with your supposed fiance, but after that something strange happened, I had gone to distract Tyler so my friend could get closer to his love, but what I couldn't explain was what happened to him during those 3 days he was locked up with his mate and even more so when he didn't remember anything about it, he had his scent impregnated in his clothes but that's it.

For months we've been searching and searching and nothing, it's like the earth swallowed him up. Only now the one I'm worried about is Stephen, lately he's been vomiting a lot and the worst thing is that when he finishes vomiting he immediately tries to leave so I can buy him more food.

I had to move in with him because he would call me in the middle of the night wanting me to pick him up and take him to eat.

And if I don't do what he says, he gets aggressive, the other day in warrior training I went into the showers, I ordered one of them to go get a lemon ice cream and crackers while he was showering, that combination is weird but he likes it a lot, the warrior didn't do what he said and his fury was such that I sent him to the punishment field.

The punishment field is only used in extreme cases. There the warrior must remain without food for 3 days, only water, and not only that, he has to do twice as many exercises as they do in a day.

But that's not all, because when I told him why I wanted that dessert he started crying and saying what if he was a bad alpha? That nobody loved him anymore.
