Waited For The Luna
Chapter 18

“I met her….” “I met my mate.” Hearing that my heart dropped. My eyes started to tear.

“Bellamy I’m sorry.” He reached for me but I moved back. There wasn’t a tinge of rejection in his eyes. I knew then that from the moment he set eyes on her he fell head over heels for this wolf. Her luna.

“You don’t have to be sorry Collin. You found your mate. It’s okay.” I was truly hurt. A few days ago I fully gave myself to this wolf. I betrayed my own mate and pushed him away knowing that Collin would mark me, rejecting his mate if he ever meets her.

“Everything I said a few days ago…” he paused for a long time.

“I meant it with all my heart. But things changed when I met her. It felt like I was being drawn to her, I long for her. All I want is to protect her with all my life. I loved you Bellamy if I had a choice then, I would always choose you. But she’s here now, I know I said that I’d reject her, But I couldn’t, her eyes feels like they hold the ocean. She’s everything to me now.” He said. You can see in his eyes how happy he was to have met his mate but at the same time regretful. And I couldn’t deprive him of that. He is a good man and he deserves to be this happy.

This is why you should never decide in a rush. I was happy for him. He didn’t feel the way I felt when I found my mate having s*x with another girl. And I didn’t want her to feel the way I felt with my mate. The only right and sensible thing to do was to let him go.

“It’s okay Collin. I understand. Truly. You are a good person, a good alpha, and nothing deserves this more than you.” I hugged him crying. It hurts like hell. Collin was what I wanted as a mate but he belongs to someone else as I am. “I’ll be okay. I promise you.” I assured him wiping all the pain in my eyes. He then stood up, held my hand, and leaned on my forehead.

“I only wish you well Bellamy.” I let go of his hands and watched as he retrieved back into the packhouse. I saw a girl with black hair and green eyes looking at us. Collin then held her hand and she smiled at me. I knew who she is, her name is Olivia Smith. A sweet and kind girl. Very beautiful and someone easy to love.

I didn’t love Collin, but it still hurt. We had our plans already. I was building my life around him. But all that was gone in one night. But it was fine. I would never know what imprinting on your mate feels like because mine was unpleasant. Something I would never want anyone to experience.

During that night I bawled my eyes out. Thank goddess for waterproof eyeliners.

LUKA’S POV

“Hi, babe!” Ellie walked to me. It was the b***d moon many wolves who were of age will start meeting their mates. I hope Ellie meets hers tonight, so she can stop leeching on me.

“What’s up, man!” Eric greeted.

After what transpired in the previous weeks I didn’t have time to mingle with them. I spoke to Ellie in private just to get things over with.

“I have a mate, Ellie. I broke up with you” I vaguely told her.

“So? You can always reject her.” She replied kissing me on the neck.

“I can’t reject her and you might meet your mate tonight. Just shut up and stay away from me.” I told her and then she teared up.

“No Luka! You promised me! I gave everything to you. I love you” She replied hearing the hurt in her voice. I felt sorry for her but there was nothing I can do. I was drawn to Bellamy day-by-day and being near Ellie only made it painful for me and Bellamy.

“I’m sorry Ellie. I love my mate.” I humbly said. I wasn’t entirely loyal to Ellie as I knew relationships for werewolves can be unstable due to the mate bond. But I did love her at some point.

Ellie’s expression turned dark.

“No, Luka! I will not let you! I will kill her if I have to! I will tear her heart out if I have to!” Ellie threatened. The idea of someone killing my girl triggered my nerves and instinct to kill.

I then lunged and held Ellie’s throat “You dare touch a single hair on her and I will torture you till you beg for death.” I angrily screamed.

“You don’t get to threaten me, Ellie! I’ll be your alpha! I’d kill you if I have to if you dare do things to my mate.” Holding her neck she struggled to get a word out of her mouth. Just then Eric saw us.

“What the f*ck Luka! Let her go.” Eric screamed worrying for his sister.

Hearing Eric, I let go of Ellie as he hugged her from her side. “You teach your sister how to behave in front of an alpha. She dares threaten me again will be the last time she ever speaks! And don’t you dare raise your voice on me, Eric!” I told him using my alpha tone to which they bowed down.

I then exited the packhouse. It was nearing the b***d moon and everyone seems to be excited but I wasn’t in the mood. Just the thought of Bellamy dying makes my b***d boil.

The frown on my face relax and my teeth stopped greeting when I saw a view of my mate crying on her knees. If I touch her I knew she would get angry at me and ask me to leave. But I know I should.

I slowly walked towards her and as I grew near her, her sobs halted and her eyes looked at me with disgust. It showed how much she hates me. Before I could say a word she stood up to leave.

“Bellamy!”
