Jasper's POV
What did he just say? My boiling blood and angry wolf didn't even let me process what he just said but I found myself punching the living daylights out of him and in the next minute my claws were out and I used it on his body as I fought to control my wolf.
But he wasn't having it my way, in the next second I'm strangling the living daylight out of him. "How dare you! She's mine!" I roared still tightening my hands on his neck.
I felt him getting weaker and weaker but I wasn't satisfied or should I say my animalistic instincts wasn't. As I tried to rip off his neck, Fred's scream and pleas were so distant to me and I'm so bent on seeing his head roll off before I let him go.
But just then I felt a wolf bounce on me from behind making me lose balance and I loosened my hold on his neck. Fred shifted back to his human form immediately and dragged the elder out. Just then the door of my study opened and my pack doctor walked in with two nurses and a stretcher and the picked the elder and carried him off on the stretch.
Fred must have mind linked to them, the elder is already unconscious,he deserves more than that. Stupid!
"Alpha you could have been strapped off your duty and sent to the royal dungeon if you had killed him." Fred said with concern in his tone.
"You may leave." I ordered in a low voice.
He bowed and walked out of my office, I can still feel the anger and frustration of my wolf. I walked out of my study towards the back door of my mansion and ran into the forest and in no time I shifted into my wolf who howled loudly in anger.
I kept running till mother moon reflected her glorious light to the world. I howled loudly to her beauty after which I became at peace and shifted into my human form and sat on the high mountain.
My life is so messed up. On one hand is my chosen mate who I claim to love and on the other hand is my fated mate who I get drawn to and find myself willing to protect her but I know that this is the wolf bond at work pushing me to her.
But I won't let the moon goddess decide my fate, everyone has the right to live his or her life with whom he or she wants. I'm supposed to conduct my mating ceremony with Anna and that I will do.
Before that I will have to reject Charlotte or let her reject me. We have to let go of each other. The moon goddess has to understand that we have the right to our lives too, we're not her tools to toy with in any manner she deems fit.
I shifted back to my angry wolf who's not pleased at my thoughts at all but for some reason didn't say a word and I'm grateful for that. We ran back into the Pack as though the Moon Goddess is in support of my decision in a way, the first person I set my eyes on is Anita.
Anna's POV
I flinched a little when I saw Jasper's wolf walking towards me. I hope he didn't notice a thing. I should have taken my bath before walking out and there's no doubt that he won't notice the fact that my scent was altered.
My heart hammered against my ribcage as he shifted into his human form and walked towards me with a smile on his lips and I returned it in the best way I can.
"I have missed you all day, my love." Now that's rather unexpected, ever since he found his fated mate he tends to change his behavior towards me.
"Wait! Why is your scent so altered, I can barely perceive your intoxicating lavender scent. Why?" He asked and detached from the hug and took a step backwards
"What do you think? I have been training the whole day."I said knowing that I stick of earth.
"Ohh!" He said and I let out the breath I never knew I was holding.
He walked closer again and I took a step backwards, "I need to take my bath. This is so unlikely of a Luna to be."I dashed into the mansion pretending to be chuckling.
"That was close." I whispered to myself as I closed the door to my room and leaned on it.
Jasper is real good at pretending, in a minute he will act as though I'm the only she wolf he knows of and in another he's all lovey dovey with his mate. I hate that he thinks he can deceive me so easily.
He thinks I haven't noticed the fact that he's trying to avoid having sex with me because he knows we will be inflicting pain on his mate. But perhaps he underestimates me a lot, I will make sure he rejects that cursed mate of his.
I stripped myself off my clothes and walked towards my bathroom. And began to wash off every trace of the man on mask from my body.
It happened in a blink,I didn't know that I'm capable of having a thing with a total stranger but it's better than someone familiar hence they use it against me.
As I swabbed the soap on my body the memory of how the elder was carried out of Jasper's study came to my mind. He beat up an elder simply because he requested to have Charlotte for the night. Was it necessary to do that to an elder?But for the fact that he strongly feels something for her, he nearly killed the wolf.
That was just a test I paid the elder to carry out so I would know if he truly hates Charlotte as he claims but it came out that he's only trying to make himself feel good because it's definitely not me.
Charlotte, doesn't know who she's dealing with at all but I'm about to give her a bite of how bitter I can be to the taste bud.
