ā€œRUN Kody!ā€ I yell at my terrified looking mate.

I feel myself getting weaker. Blood loss isnā€™t something Iā€™m used to feeling. Iā€™ve been in plenty of battles but no injuries have ever hurt as badly as this.

ā€œYou stupid boy. I wish your mother and I had more cubs. I canā€™t believe what a disgrace to my name you are.ā€ he looks down on me while I bleed out, ā€œif you want to survive this mishap you will reject that used up pack toy and mate someone I choose for youā€.

ā€œN-neverā€ I say defiantly.

ā€œYouā€™re in no position to deny me. If I donā€™t call Owen here soon you will not sur-ā€

Marcus runs into the cabin and tackles my father without stopping to think about the consequences. While they fight I was able to link Owen before everything started getting dark.

Les is furious, going on a rant about Marcus daring to defy him. I think Les forgets that Marcus is my Beta and his loyalties lie with the pack and whatā€™s best for them and losing their future Alpha isnā€™t in their best interests.

Marcus yells at him that he should be happy for me finally having my mate and being able to claim my rightful place but if this is how things are going to be in RavenWood then heā€™s not sure he wants to be a part of this pack anymore.

ā€œAlester! What the hell happened.ā€ Owen asks Marcus in a panic.

ā€œTake him and get out of here, he canā€™t die Owen he has too much to live forā€.

The last thing I see before Owen helps me out of there is Marcus slashing up my father.

šŸŗšŸŗšŸŗšŸŗšŸŗ

I wake up and my mom is sitting at my bedside asking me to wake up. How long was I out? Where am I?

ā€œMom?ā€ I try to ask, my throat and mouth are dry.

ā€œHoney just relax, there was an accident and youā€™re recovering in the infirmaryā€.

She helps me drink some water before I try speaking again. ā€œMom it wasnā€™t an accident I found my mateā€.

ā€œYouā€™re mate did this? Why would she do that?ā€ she fusses over me.

ā€œNo mom, my mate is a maleā€.

ā€œOh sorry, was he one of the trainees?ā€

ā€œYeah. Heā€™s amazing, Mom. Heā€™s been through so much in his life and he somehow found it in his heart to trust me enough that he was able to be completely alone with meā€.

She smiles at me and takes my hand, ā€œIā€™d love to meet him, where is he?ā€

ā€œSafe I hope... Mom, Les did this to me. He hurt my Little Wolf and is trying to force me to reject him.ā€ instantly her demeanour changes.

ā€œWait, where are you going?ā€ I am worried, Iā€™m a bit defenseless here.

ā€œOwen and Marcus put guards by the doors. Iā€™ll be back as soon as I can. Your father and I need to have some wordsā€.

She storms out of the room, I wish I could be there when she confronts him.

šŸŗLuna TracyšŸŗ

I was so worried about Alester when Les told me heā€™d been in a terrible accident and now I find out my mate has tried to kill my son and force him to reject his mate.

That is not the Alpha I mated all those years ago... I should have seen the signs but I was blinded by our bond. I wonder what else Iā€™ve been oblivious too.

The guards outside the office try to stop me but this is my fucking house and Iā€™ll go wherever I damn well please.

ā€œWhat the fuck did you do to our son?ā€ I demand.

ā€œTracy, my love, he defied me so I did what was necessary.

ā€œAlester hasnā€™t defied you a day in his life. Heā€™s always been the perfect son. He worked at being the best warrior in his class, he works hard to improve the pack and he does all your training camps. Why couldnā€™t you just let him have his mate after nine fucking years?ā€

ā€œHis mate is a MUTT, a fucking used up pack toy. Heā€™s not worthy of cleaning Alesterā€™s shoesā€.

My wolf Sasha takes control and snarls loudly. She is just as furious as I am.

ā€œIf Alesterā€™s mate was worthy in any way even if it was a male Iā€™d allow it but heā€™s a disgrace and isnā€™t worthy of leading my pack with Alester. There are far better females here that would be perfect Lunaā€™s so my son wonā€™t be a fucking faggot!ā€

Iā€™m going to lose my goddamn mind, ā€œAlester waited NINE FUCKING YEARS! I will not allow you to take his mate from him and deny him what you and I were so lucky to haveā€.

I stare at him wondering what happened to him. Was he always like this?

ā€œTracy, you need to leave and settle your hormones before you say something you regret.ā€ to say he was condescending would be an understatement.

ā€œIā€™m not going to regret anything. You tried to murder my son and force him to reject his mate.ā€ I take a breath to steel myself and continue, ā€œI, Tracy Locke, reject Lester Locke, current Alpha of RavenWood Pack as my mate and my Alphaā€.

The moment I finish the room fills with a blinding bright white light. When it dissipates there is a blonde woman standing before us. She smiles and says hi to me.

She turns on Les immediately, ā€œyou!ā€ she yells at him.

ā€œWho the fuck are you?ā€ he snaps at her.

ā€œI am your creator and Iā€™m disgusted by youā€.

She moves towards him with the grace and agility of a vampire.

ā€œHow could you give that disgusting thing to my son?ā€

ā€œI do not answer to YOU, YOU answer to ME!ā€ her eyes turn black with swirls of red, Iā€™ve never seen anything like it.

ā€œMy dear Tracy, are you positive youā€™d like to reject this garbage?ā€

ā€œAbsolutelyā€.

ā€œThen I recognize your rejection.ā€ as soon as she says that Les doubles over in pain.

Some of the warriors run in when they hear him screaming, ā€œtake him to the infirmary. Heā€™ll likely be out for a whileā€.

They donā€™t even question her, they just pick him up and leave.

ā€œWhat do I do now?ā€ I ask her, feeling a bit lost, I didnā€™t think about where Iā€™d go.

She grabs me by the shoulders, ā€œspeak to your people. They have a right to make the choice to stay. As for where you should go, you should go to Blue Moon. They have the land to house and care for those that followā€.

As Iā€™m about to leave I notice Iā€™m not feeling any pain. When I ask her she says Les is being punished for being a monster and I wonā€™t feel any pain. Thatā€™s actually a huge relief, I need to pack.

I link the whole pack and have them meet outside the pack house. I give them half an hour so I have time to link the scouts that are too far away to join. We have a large pack consisting of over fifteen hundred wolves.

Itā€™s the largest population of wolves in one pack. The next largest has about eight hundred wolves. They have larger lands than us but most of that consists of lakes.

Once thereā€™s a large group I step forward ā€œI am here tonight to give you a choice. Your Alpha tried to murder our son and his mate. I have rejected him as my Alpha and my mate and am taking my son, your beta and anyone else who wishes to follow and we are leaving to BlueMoonā€.

Stacey is here and asks me why Les tried to kill Alester. I always felt badly for her, Les always trying to push her on Alester and him rejecting her advances. It seems sheā€™s happy with her mate now though.

ā€œAlester found his mate but heā€™s not female so Les doesnā€™t think heā€™s worthy. You may not know this but Les finds women and gay men weak and he doesnā€™t respect many of them... He wasnā€™t bad when I met him but heā€™s grown cruel since we mated and I no longer feel the need to stand by him. I am leaving tonight, you may come or stay, the choice is yoursā€.

With that I turn to go pack my things. Over the next six hours I packed all the things Alester gave me growing up, my clothes and photo albums. I leave all the gifts from Les over the years.

I then go and pack Alesterā€™s room since heā€™s still recovering. Marcus packed his room and came to help me with Alesterā€™s. Heā€™s a good beta and a more amazing friend, his mate is a lucky girl.

When we finally get the stuff packed up in the trailers. Marcus goes and gets Alester and then we head out. The rest of the pack knows how to find BlueMoon Pack. When we finally cross the border Marcus and I feel the pack bond slip away. Itā€™s a bit painful but mostly itā€™s just uncomfortable. Marcus linked me, Alester didnā€™t even flinch. My poor boy.

I should have left a long time ago. I knew Les was cruel but I didnā€™t know how bad it really was until Marcus shared something with me about what all Les had done. I had no idea Les beat Alester... Iā€™m a horrible mother, how did I not know? I think about that for the rest of the drive.

Itā€™s around six in the morning when we finally cross Blue Moon Pack borders. Since they donā€™t know we are coming we wait at the borders for the warriors to head down.

ā€œMarcus!ā€ a purple haired girl yells as she runs over to him and leaps into his now open arms.

ā€œTessa, Goddess I missed you.ā€ she giggles as he inhales her scent, ā€œwhy do you smell like Kody, Sadie and faintly like Brandon?ā€

He letā€™s her go, ā€œOh Brandon, Sadie, Kody and I had a sleepover. They used to have them all the time when Kody first came to live here. I joined last night because I didnā€™t want to be aloneā€.

ā€œHow is Kody?ā€ Marcus asks her and she says he had a hard night because heā€™s so worried about Alester.

Kody has to be my baby boyā€™s mate. Marcus comes over to me and says Tessa is linking their Alpha. I met him once, years ago but I couldnā€™t tell you anything about him now. Les handled all the pack relations.

When Tessa is finished talking to her Alpha she comes over to me and extends a hand, ā€œHi Iā€™m Tessa Matthews.ā€ We shake hands and I introduce myself.

ā€œYouā€™re the Luna?ā€ she asks.

ā€œI was. I rejected my mate and left the packā€

ā€œWow, well Alpha Zane is an amazing Alpha Iā€™m sure youā€™ll be welcome to stayā€.

She says heā€™s ready and we can make the drive up to the pack house now. She gets in with Marcus and they lead the way.

They picked a beautiful place to build, thereā€™s a lot of room for expansion. I wait for Tessa and Marcus to exit and do the same.

ā€œThere he isā€ she whispers at us. I stand up a bit straighter and Marcus tries to help Alester out of the other vehicle.

ā€œHello, welcome to Blue Moon, Iā€™m Alpha Zaneā€.

ā€œHi there, Iā€™m Tracy, former Luna of Raven Wood, the barely conscious one is my son Alester and the one holding him up is our former Beta Marcusā€.

ā€œTessa, why donā€™t you help Marcus take Alester to Kodyā€™s room and Iā€™ll take Tracy to my office to talk about them joining usā€.

Tessa nods and they disappear into the house. We follow them inside but head into his office. Itā€™s very different from Lesā€™ office.

Zanesā€™ office is warm and inviting where Lesā€™ was cold and dark. I spend the next forty-five minutes explaining what happened and he looks appalled that an Alpha would act like that especially towards his own son.

ā€œI think thatā€™s everythingā€.

ā€œOh no, youā€™re forgetting one important thing.ā€ he says.

I nod in agreement and he walks around to where Iā€™m sitting, takes my hand and pulls me up. Then he sits me back on his desk and kisses me.

ā€œIt was so hard for me and my wolf to contain ourselves. I havenā€™t had a mate in twenty yearsā€.

ā€œZane, letā€™s go somewhere more... comfortableā€.

ā€œAs you wish, my beautiful Lunaā€.

I could hardly believe it when I caught Zaneā€™s scent. I knew immediately why I was told to come here. She gave me a second chance, but maybe it was more for Zane than me.

We enter his room and he pins me to the wall. Heā€™s looking at me like heā€™s a starving man and Iā€™m his feast. Les never looked at me like that.

This was the best decision I ever made.
