Chapter 16 Chapter 16

POV Liberty

His words cut through me like a knife, he thought I would be safer with my old pack that wanted me dead than him.

I shook my head and said, “What does this mean now?“I asked as a shiver crawled up my spine.

“What do you mean?“, he asked.

He can’t be that clueless even though I had worked out that Jess was right when I felt the connection with him.

I sighed and stood up, He wasn’t interested in being my mate, he had rejected me in his heart and even though it hurt I rejected him too. He was a Drakos and I had to fight

what I felt because the hate and love evened themselves out inside “What is it that you want to talk about?“, I asked.

I held my hand to him but he didn’t take it and I shrugged.

“I have to tell you something“, He said.

I took a deep breath and awaited the rejection that I knew was coming.

“Liberty I hate that I want you, I hate that I …… Well I hate myself for keeping getting pulled to you, I hate that I hurt you but there’s something else, I should have told you when you joined our pack,” He spoke without looking at me.

I realised in an instance and before I could stop them I blurted out my thoughts, “You hate me because I am your mate?“.

He looked at me and narrowed his eyes, “I know you can’t help what you say as the moon rises and your 18th comes into view you can’t control it, you’ll understand that we can’t be mates“, he spat.

I slammed my hands on the counter, “Admit it Alpha! We are mates and you reject me as Luna!!!, not that I want you either I mean you haven’t had the best interests for me!“, I yell.

I honestly have never felt such hate towards anyone like I do right now, He watched as I moved and I could see the hostility shine through and then realisation hit me and I laughed, “Oh my god! That is it! You don’t want me to be your mate! You think I am weak! That is why you gave me back!“, I hissed. I couldn’t stop the tears rolling down my cheeks and I don’t know why as I didn’t like him either.

He stepped forward and I stepped back, I took a deep breath and then I uttered the

I went to say it again and I heard Carissa cry out “No!“.

Shaking my head in frustration, I couldn’t denyt I felt her pain rippleh me

Jake stepped forward shaking his head, “Liberty!“, he shouted,

I renounce you Alpha Jake“.

I huffed in frustration, “Why is it no one thinks that my emotions are worth anything? Harris and Millie became mates and brought me to your pack to protect me, making me be part of the pack that killed my mother! Then oh my god!“I cried in frustration.

“Liberty!“Jake called after me.

“Bye Alpha“, I said as I took off towards the door. As I opened the door I felt an arm glide past me and a hand sprawled out slamming the door shut.

“You know you can’t leave,” Jake said.

I cupped my face in my hands and let out a frustrated scream into them.

“Jake back off!“, I screamed.

“Your mother isn’t dead“, He said.

I started laughing what the fuck is he lieing about this for!, “Why don’t you go to hell!“, I said as I spat in his face.

The pain, bile from this sick joke rose within me and I couldn’t help feel my head spin at his lies.

“Liberty, it is true she cursed me and my sister and it is better that we are not together,” he spoke so fast that I couldn’t take it all in.

My head was spinning and the ground felt as if it was moving beneath my feet, how could he be so cruel to say such a thing.”

My whole body trembled as1 turned and pushed him away, “My mother died! You can’t even say that it’s just because you don’t want me. Go fuck yourself Jake“, I cried and with that I felt a surge of energy and pushed him away and opened the door. I won’t believe him, I felt the pain from my father the day she died and she died because of me, his sick joke because he wanted me to reject him as my mate, well he didn’t need to worry about that anymore. I hated myself for even contemplating what life with a cold Alpha would be like, I got so wrapped in Carissa emotions I had forgotten my own. I was seething as I stormed off down the path.

“I could command you“, He shouted as I ran away.

I just raised my hand raising my middle finger at him and waved it around, “Now you do not need to worry about me anymore alpha“, I shouted.

I could hear him curse in the background as I walked away and the tears fell, “That was pretty low saying your mother was alive just to not be your mate“, Carissa said.

I could feel her pace and whimper as I got away from Zeus.

I gagged on the bile that was caught in my throat.

“What if it is true?“, Carissa asked soothingly.

I shook my head, “It can’t be I would have known“, I countered,

“If it was true, where would she be?“, Carissa reasoned.

I was becoming numb from the words I heard him speak and then Carissa trying to find reason within, clutching at the last strand of hope within.

The tears freely fell and I didn’t notice the clouds that gathered and followed my path as I cried. “Why did I even think that he would accept me as a mate, I hate that I like him!“, I spat.

Shocking myself that I did indeed like this stupid man, that I found comfort when I was around him.

I changed course in my direction and decided firmly I would show that he was not a man of his word.

“Where are you going?“, Carissa asked.

“There was a cabin in the out of bounds area. I saw it when Jess and I went through town. To believe him I need to find out for myself, If she was alive and in the pack she would be there” I answered.

“Do you think she is alive?“, Carissa asked.

I rolled my eyes and shrugged, I just couldn’t think why someone would lie like that, I had so many questions forming in my mind I couldn’t help but be intrigued, a little hopeful that it was true.

I suddenly stopped and sat down, “You might as well come out“, I called.

The bushes moved and Jake appeared, his withered face and frustration radiating through him, I’d laugh if I wasn’t hurting so much.

“How did you know I was there?,” He asked.

“Well Naija Alpha, we are mates regardless if we like it or not I always feel a sense of calm when I can smell you which by the way is highly annoying, but as you have an hour before you can officially reject me I suppose I have to put up with it!“, I hissed shrugging.
