Chapter 2 - Ex-Mate

-Flashback-

"What the hell are you doing here omega" the girl with my mate spat.

I looked at my mate to see some form of guilt or worry in his face but was rather met with his furious face. I just wanted him to be with me, I didn't care if he had dated anyone in the past, as long as he is willing to be with me, I would run into his arms. I was pathetic, but that's what mate bond does to you, you will forgive your mate no matter what.

"Don't you know the basic manner to knock before entering, especially if the one inside is someone with delta and alpha blood?!" My mate, whose name I still didn't know, growled.

"Sorry" I mumbled. Never in my life, I felt so pathetic, so weak, so broken. Guilt was consuming me for barging in but it's not like they locked it either. If they were to do something like this, they could have the decency to lock the door at least.

"Do you think your sorry will solve everything? If you tell anyone here about what happened here then I will murder you myself, you filthy omega." the delta girl threatened. Lyca, vamp, and wits were trying to force themselves out, angry, for disrespecting me, ignoring the heartbreak we were going through.

My mate growled at the girl who just threatened me. That small gesture got us all excited for a second.

The girl was confused and seemed a bit hurt, and my mate seemed to be having a battle with his wolf. Soon he composed himself and started apologizing to the girl. Our happiness started to fade.

It was not the best way to meet my mate, he was probably not the most attractive either but it was fine as long as he wanted me. I am the type to hold grudges but at this moment, I just wanted him, to console me, to wipe the tears which were falling from my eyes involuntarily.

"Why the fuck are you whining?" he snapped at me.

I was hurt, I couldn't register what was happening, I just wanted it to be all a nightmare. The mate for whom I waited for over a century was with another girl and was yelling at me. I didn't know what I wanted, I didn't know what I should say. I could feel lyca sobbing in the back of my head and vamp consoling her and wits staying by my side.

"I- er am your mate." That's all I could say, I didn't know what else to say.

"So? Should I stretch my arms and wait for you to jump in and hug me." he scoffed. Well duh, that's what normal mates do, I am just unlucky to have a jerk as my mate. My pain was now being wrapped by a thick layer of anger.

"So you don't want me to be your mate?" I asked, my voice now more stable and void of any emotions.

"I don't want a lowly omega as my mate, I am the son of an alpha, my brother is alpha from today on, and I will be beta with alpha blood and you will be a burden for me and my pack," he said in a matter of fact tone.

I felt the vamp's desire for blood increase, she is basically the daughter of the true king of a vampire kingdom, and this alpha blood was mocking us. Even lyca's, mine, and wit's blood started boiling. Wits started calming vamp and lyca stood beside me in my mind with hurtful yet anger-filled eyes.

"You don't even know who I am, you don't know my name, my face," I said, feeling irritated that my jerk of a mate was going to reject me without even seeing my bare face which had a masquerading mask on.

"I just know that you are an omega and that is enough for me to reject and mark and mate with my love," he said, turning to the girl beside him with a smile reflecting her's.

If my mate loved another girl then I am gonna back down.

"So I, Abaddon Huxley of Blood Moon pack reject you..." he trailed off, he didn't even know my name.

I scoffed, held my hands to stop him, shaking my head.

"Since you don't how to reject lemme just do it for you Mr. Arrogant-soon-to-be-beta-with-alpha-blood," I said, earning a glare from two naked wolves in front of me. Being naked was something normal for wolves, I didn't mind much either.

I brought my hands to the air and snapped my right finger, blocking any noise or scent from traveling out of the room, and removed my mask, he looked a little bewildered. Took off the fake omega scent which was cast by my mom.

Witch spells won't work against our mates, and so my grandma cast spells like the fake scent, blood, etc in case my mate is not the best person. Well, she was right and I was more than grateful that she did it.

"I, Melian Yanaa Young, the tribrid, reject you, Abaddon Huxley of Blood Moon Pack," I said those words, I felt the bond disappear, and a shocked expression appeared on both of their faces. I had to reveal my identity to reject him, I couldn't say omega of the crescent moon, because I am not.

"Y-you-" my mate, I mean my ex-mate stuttered, he lost his chance to embrace me when he had the chance.

I raised my hand to stop him," save the stuttering for when you explain to your pack about getting rejected by your mate, I mean 'omega mate', dear ex-mate." I said and brought my hands up again and knocked both of them unconscious. replaced his memories of my identity with the one he thought I was, omega from Crescent moon pack. Now that he is not my mate, I can do whatever I want with him and he won't know a thing.

I concealed my scent myself, no one else will be able to recognize me since I don't have a mate anymore. Removed my scent from the room and removed all the spells I cast earlier in the room and jumped out of the window.

Transformed me into my fake blonde wolf, mind-linked Brina that I am going for a run and to not worry about me for the next few days.

I ran into the depths of the forest after conveying my message to Tessa in a stern voice to halt any further questions. Using a spell I transpassed the territory without any permission and ran and ran and ran until my limbs gave out.

I transformed back to my human and sat down, leaning against a huge tree. I created a protective barrier around me and released all my forms. Another skill of mine and my mom. A spell my mom created for hybrids that is me and mom.

Letting all our forms out in their original form, human form in the same cream gown, lycan in its four legs, vampire and witch in their chosen outfit.

Lyca stood on all four legs and looked at me with teary grey eyes. Unlike werewolves whose wolves' eyes are golden and human's eyes depending on their genes, lycans have the same eye color as humans. All the lycan have white fur on the other hand werewolves have darker fur according to rank, the most powerful being black.

Wits stood in front of me in her black and purple corset dress and long black cape, with her clearly hurt purple eyes, she looked at my puffy eyes before walking towards me, she sat beside me, letting me rest my head against her shoulder. She patted my head as I let out silent cries.

Vamp floated, her legs not touching the earth, in her black and red corset dress and identical long black cape. Her merlot eyes, now, even brighter shade of red with fury. I could feel her desire for blood growing as her anger escalated. Her fangs started growing to their original length as she started to float higher and higher until she reached the top of the canopy, to dash and hunt and savor her prey.

"Vamp" I called her softly, her eyes darted towards me, I gestured to her to calm down and come down. She stayed in the air, frozen, debating over satisfying her thirst for blood.

Losing patience, I made my voice sterner "Vamp, down, now." this time she didn't have a choice to debate over, she slowly landed back on the ground.

I motioned her to sit down next to me, she obeyed and sat down next to me, I looked at lycan who was now looking at the full moon.

"Lyca.." she shifted eyes from the moon to me. "Sit down... Come on. Here." I said and gestured to her to sit in front of me, she rather came towards me and nuzzled her head in the crook of my neck. I patted her head as wits patted mine and vamp leaned against the tree. I brought the vamp's head to my side as she started patting Lyca's fur as well.

"Do you want to call the goddess?" wits asked, breaking sob-filled silence.

"Yeah.. lyca.." lyca took a few steps backward, looked at the moon, and started howling. Her voice is probably blocked because of the shield but Selena could certainly hear her.

We sat around lyca in a circle, with our hands clasped, our eyes closed. The sobs are now replaced by Lyca's howling.

After a few minutes, she came, our goddess, in our mind.

She gave us a sympathetic look.

"What will happen now, Selena?" I asked

"You will find your second chance dear," she said, her soothing voice, calming us.

"What about Abaddon, will he mate with her or find his second chance" vamp asked

"That is his choice, second chance is not known in the werewolf world, so he probably thinks that he is mateless and will mark and mate her" she replied.

"Is his second chance already chosen?" I asked

"No, I will choose, I am thinking of choosing the delta girl but she has a mate, so I will probably mate her real mate with a mateless girl and choose her as Abaddon's mate."

"What about me? Will I get a second chance, I am the one rejected after all," I asked again. Slightly regretting, rejecting Abaddon.

"You rejected because he was worthless of your love, you did great dear, he has done so many bad things. I knew that you would reject him once you found him. You will certainly get a second mate, and he will be worth your care, your trust, your love," she reassured me.

"I know that the one who rejected does not get a second chance, you don't make an exception for me, I can actually live without a mate...I guess" lyca winced at my words.

"No dear, I know you deserve a good mate, and I will find the worthiest one for you, you are my favorite child," she said, with her motherly warm smile, which could erase every worry.

"Thank you, Selena"

"But there will be a punishment, it will be the worst of all the pain you've gone through, even though you don't deserve it," she said with a sad smile.

I nodded my head, with a small smile that hopefully assures her that I understand.

"The punishment will be-" Selena started

-Present time-

Loud snores interrupted me from my short train to the past, signing, I did my morning routine and headed back to my room.

To see a dark and toned naked body in my bed, snoring.

"Lenon, how many times do I have to tell you to not sleep on my bed. Naked." I said to the cute but annoying boy in my bed, he is old enough to be a man and looks like a man too but for me, he is a boy.

The snores stopped, and tired eyes looked at me with pouty lips.

"Pleaseee...I love your bed more and sleeping naked is more comfortable, it's nothing you haven't seen," he said in his deep voice.

I signed in defeat and walked to my closet as a heard him saying a happy and excited 'thank you, babe'

He is too cute to argue. At home, he is my pet lion, yeah lion. My neighbors think he is a Siberian black cat since I made him look like one with my wonderful magic but he is actually a black lion who I was saved years ago in Ethiopia.

He is a lion shifter and is extremely strong but he lives with me because I saved him, grateful bitch.

He is also my friend at school, he is super built and is really helpful when it comes to keeping horny teenagers away from me.

Many assume we are dating, not true. We share a sibling bond like a sweet elder sister and a cute little brother.

When it comes to shifters, being naked is normal. I don't mind much either.

He just lives with me as a pet cat because I don't think it is normal to have a pet lion.

He likes being in his cat form, he says it's easier to get in between things and all.

"If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy And I can take you for a ride I had a premonition that we-"

I checked my ringing phone to see who is calling, 'Yash' appeared on the screen and I answered the phone

'Howdy sis'

'What's up with the new greeting'

'Nothing'

'Why did you call'

'You seriously don't like small talk do you'

'I don't. Now straight to the point'

'Okay okay'

'I am going to Canada with Oliviya'

'To pack?'

'Yeah. Since Octavia's due date is nearing, Oliviya is getting more worried so we are gonna go'

Oliviya's twin sister Octavia is pregnant with her mate Caleb's pup. She is the first to get pregnant in our generation and the pup is gonna be the oldest of the fifth generation of lycans

'Oh'

'I would like to come but I have some things to deal with so...'

'It's ok, just come before she gives birth, your magic might be helpful to reduce pain.'

'Also, I called you to ask for help'

'What is it'

'Can you help us with the paper works and all that shit required for joining Crescent Moon pack'

'Yeah sure.'

'Thanks my favorite sister'

'Yeah I know, I am everyone's favorite sister'

'I regret saying that anyway bye, don't be late to school and blame me if you get scolded and then you will complain to Oliviya and she will upset with me so hang up bitch'

'Whatever bye hoe'

Yash and Oliviya are going to join the Crescent Moon pack, my actual bestie's pack, Brina. She is now the luna or Alpha-female of the pack. She hasn't found her mate yet but her parents decided she could have the pack.

I went to take my usual outfit which is a blacktop or hoodie with black or blue bottoms before lyca grunted disapprovingly.

What is it lyca, I asked her

Are you gonna wear your usual funeral dress to school, she asked

Hey, don't disrespect my black outfits, also going to school is no better than a funeral so yeah I am gonna wear this.

No no no no no no no, she said, pouting

What lyca, I asked getting slightly irritated.

Mate, Miss Melian. Mate. He is most probably in our school, you don't want to wear such dull clothes for our first time meeting mate, she said with a sterner voice.

This time I grunted disapprovingly before giving in to her demand

Vamp wanted me to wear a cool dress, like a leather jacket, boots, leather pants and all, she said boys love cool girls.

Lyca wanted me to go with an innocent yet sultry, like a short skirt and cleavage exposing shirt.

And Wits wanted me to wear a bodycon dress with slits and a deep V neck, to seduce our mate. And I was dumb enough to think that she was the prude here. Well, I would've agreed to what she said if we were not going to a FREAKING SCHOOL.

After taking 30 minutes to decide on the outfit. I settled with high waist black jeans paired with a black lace tank top and a cream short cardigan on top of it.

It was the most humble yet elegant dress I could find because one massive side of my closet was filled with extravagant dresses and party dresses and many slutty fits which I love, and another side of my closet is filled with the most basic graph tees and hoodies and plain jeans and pants and oversized shirts and shorts and another small part are filled with some random dresses.

I quickly put on the outfit and for makeup...I am not the best. I did the most basic thing I could find online. Hopefully, I don't look horrifying by the end, or else I am just gonna wipe everything and go bare face.

I put on some moisturizer, primer and liquid foundation, and a little concealer. I put on some foundation powder before taking out my eyeliner and applying a thin line on both my eyelids. I don't use fake lashes since my lashes are pretty long(that's an excuse, I don't know how to put them and am also kinda scared) so I just put on some mascara. And for lipstick... I don't normally put lipstick on, I just use some vaseline since my lips are pretty sensitive and are allergic to some products. I haven't tried a lot of brands, the one I tried and didn't have a reaction was Maybelline so I am just gonna use a Maybelline lipstick. According to google, nude lipstick looks best on olive skin. What? Internet is my bestie, I listen to them before doing anything.

I put up my long dyed dark chocolate hair into a messy ponytail, fixed my curtain bangs to both my sides. Perfect.

I adjusted my cardigan to reveal my cute collar bone tattoo which is my name- 'Melian'

I have 5 tattoos. My name is on my left collar bone, 'vampire' below my left breast, 'lycan' on my left hip, 'witch' on my left inner thighs, and 'Yanna Young' on my left wrist. Yes, I love myself. A lot.

I rushed to the kitchen, made bread toast, and stuffed it into my mouth before running out of my villa.

I could sense my mate's scent but it is old. So is my mate my neighbor and not a student? Ugh. I wasted my time.

I went to the nearby Starbucks and ordered a Biscotti frappuccino.

I walked to my school as I sipped my drink and threw it inside the dustbin once it was finished.

Mate scent reached my senses again but this time I know that he/she is here.

I think it's a he from the scent. Not sure. Me being bi and the possibility of me being mated to any species of any age never really helped in me finding my mate so I just waited for him or her to show up when it's time.

My mate could have literally been a male/female penguin and I won't even know. Apparently, Selena wants to experiment with which all species can be mates, and those she chose to experiment with are me and my family. She chose us because our healing is best compared to any other and so we will be able to overcome any complications. Not that we mind, at least my parents and grandparents don't, they are so in love.

I am literally surrounded by cute couples who are passionately in love and I hate it. I am the only single one in the family, and soon my unborn nephew/niece will join me but if I mess up and get rejected or reject this second chance of mine, then I will probably be mateless forever and all my unborn nephews and nieces will also have a mate. Gosh, will I be the single forever aunty? Ugh. I think I will just fuck some attractive human I find and live with him or her.

Can you please stop overthinking and go to our mate Yana lyca said feeling extremely irritated

Whatever lyca I said, tried to lace my voice with irritation.

I normally come early in the morning, because why not. No, it's because I want to read peacefully in the library before that grumpy librarian shouts 'quiet' every two minutes. I don't think there is any librarian who is not grumpy. I have lived for 200 hundred years and 50 years in the human world and attended school in different countries but I haven't come across a good librarian. I think being a librarian automatically comes with grumpiness.

So I am late than usual but not too late though.

I walked in the direction I got his scent.

Since I am lycan, I can smell him but I don't think he can smell me yet. He will probably get my scent when I am nearer.

My grandma hid my lycan, vamp, and witch scent so he can only detect my human, so he won't know I am a tribrid.

I was walking towards the principal's and I could sense 3 senses including my mate's and the principal's scent is not present which means he is not there yet. The other two scents must be his friends and new students as well since I don't recognize any of these scents.

How should I greet him, hello? Hi? Hey? Howdy? Morning? Ughh this is harder than I thought. I feel like a teenager who is going to confess her feelings to her 2-year crush.

Will he be an alpha or a beta, Abaddon had alpha blood but his rank is beta so what will his rank be. I think alpha. I don't care even if he's an omega or rogue. But i don't think it will be someone too weak, the only one who at least stands a chance against me is probably an alpha.

Wait what if he is an alpha, and is a single child, and doesn't have siblings. Shit, I haven't thought about it yet. Wonderful Yanna! you had 2 centuries to think about it and now you are worried about that.

My grandma had siblings who could take care of the coven, so she could easily leave all those behind and be with grandpa. My dad had a younger brother to whom he could hand his kingdom. So he could also leave everything behind and hide with my mom.

It will be greedy of me to ask him to leave his pack and come with me. I think he will reject me for asking such an absurd thing. I don't think I would leave behind my pack for a mate who I just met.

Stop thinking. Take deep breaths. Calm down. Walk. Wits said. I nodded my head and walked. Without thinking.

When I took the turn and looked at the principal's office, I was blessed with an amazing sight. Did I mention that I have a huge thing for good-looking, tall, tanned men? Wow. There stood three guys.

But only one stole all my attention.
