Fated Mate
Nova POV.
“MATE”
One word. That’s all it took and my life as I knew it had changed. My breath left me and my heart
started beating erratically as the realisation my chosen mate had found his fated mate hit me like a
train. “Rx Nova, remember Axton loves us and we have an agreement in ce” I hear Kia my wolf
murmur to me. Ignoring the devastation I feel making my b*dy turn numb I put up my mental blocks
which I had hardened over the years and I force myself to rx and smile.
“Deep breaths Nova that’s it, we knew this day coulde. We are strong, we are Luna” my wolf Kia
whispers strengthening me.
I look forward and see that Axton is frozen, staring towards thedy in front of him. They are both
mesmerised taking in each others eyes, oblivious to the world around them. Despite the pain I feel in
my heart and the tears that are threatening to fall I reach forward and ce my hand on his lower back,
gently I push him forwards. With that, Axton lurches towards her and wraps his arms around her waist,
bringing her close and lifting her off of the ground giving her a loving k*ss, her hands tangling in his
hair. Feeling taken aback by his outward show of passion with his new mate in front of a gathering of
Alphas I try to stifle a gasp. I assumed he would introduce himself and exin his current situation with
me as his Luna however seeing him take another woman in his embrace so naturally causes my breath
to hitch once again as my mind goes nk. Waking up today I had been focused on moving forward to
try and sort our rogue problem, now I am faced with the heartbreaking reality my life will never be the
same. After a long minute I get control of my breathing once again and force my eyes to look away
from the passionate scene in front of me to address the other Alphas who are stood staring in shock at
the turn of events.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“How about we all move along to the conference room and begin our meeting, let’s leave them to have
some privacy.” I say in a soft voice, ignoring the stabbing pain in my heart. Looking up I see the
sympathetic looks and pity in their eyes which makes my heart tighten in response as I gesture towards
therge double doors behind us. “Come, we have lots to discuss” I utter trying to keep my voice strong
despite my inner turmoil.
As I make my way towards the conference room I see Alice and immediately I see the questions in her
eyes. “Not now Alice,ter. Can you please ensure refreshments are brought through for us all” I say
via mindlink. Her eyes soften and with a nod of her head she turns towards the kitchen making me
grateful she didn’t ask for more information as I’m unsure I could answer rationally right now.
Ignoring the whispers around me I take my seat at the top right of the table as I try to straighten my
thoughts. “He didn’t even look at us Ki” I say to her sadly to which she has no response. Organising the
files in front of me I steal a few deep breaths before lifting my head and addressing the room.
“As Alpha Axton is currently familiarising himself with his new mate I will head the meeting, are there
any objections?” I ask proud that my voicees out steady and clear. With a raised eyebrow I look
around and see everyone shaking their heads. “Fabulous, then let’s proceed. As you are all aware we
have had peace for thest 5 years, with the odd loner passing through we have seen no threat until a
month ago. It began one night with the attack of 5 rogues on one of our border patrols, we kept two and
after interrogation they admitted to following a new Rogue King. Their purpose was as they stated “to
take back what was his.” These attacks have be more frequent and are increasing in size.
Reports have also been made that rogues have been spotted scouting the borders of our neighbouring
packs, Midnight Sky and ck Star. If I can pass over to the Alphas of both they can fill us in.”
Alpha Jax of the Midnight Sky pack nodded and began addressing the room. “We have had 3 reports
over thest 2 weeks of groups of 3-6 rogues scouting our borders. They have not once crossed our
borders and have ensured they stayed in neutral territory with no signs of aggression. Last Thursday
we were alerted to a group staying towards the northern end of our territory requesting a meeting with
myself. I met with them and a rogue who called himself Beta Kingsley asked if I had a she-wolf under
the name of Athena Prince living within our packnds. Upon me saying no he simply thanked me for
my time and retreated.”
“Did he provide any more information as to who this she-wolf may be?” Interrupted a young man. Alpha
Jaxs aura bristled at the interruption before he turned his bright green eyes to the man who interrupted
him. “And you are…”
“ze, warrior scout of the Moonbeam Pack.” His neck bowed in submission.
“Next time ensure there are no interruptions” Alpha Jaxs voice was clear and stern. His Alpha wolf
clearly unhappy with his tantck of respect. “As I was saying, there was no more said between us.
The meeting was short, very short. I believe he sensed no deception from myself and thought there be
no need to continue the conversation.”
With that he gestured to the Alpha of the ck Star pack, Alpa Brent, to speak.
“We have also had simr interactions with the rogues. No aggression has been spotted and I myself
had a meeting with Beta Kingsley upon our eastern border. With my answer the same as Alpha Jaxs he
retreated and we have not seen any movement since, this happenedst Friday.” His piercing blue
eyes turned back to me indicating he had said what he needed.
“Thank you for filling us all in. I’m unsure as to why they are showing aggression towards our pack, I
can assume they believe the she-wolf in question is staying within our pack however I can assure you
all we have no she-wolf under the name Athena Prince sworn in to our pack or staying within our
territory.” I said clearly. “I would like to proceed with requesting a meeting with this Beta Kingsley you
have both mentioned, however I do believe it would show unified strength as part of our peace treaties
if representatives from both the Midnight Sky and ck Star pack could join me. My n was to
release one of the rogues with a message requesting a meeting on our border, however this morning
both wolfs were found dead within their cells. Apart from the silver cuffs to prevent shifting and the
injection of wolfsbane to gather the information we have, neither wolves had received any physical
harm from us. I believe this to be the actions of a witch to prevent any information being passed on to
us..AHHhh.” I groan unable to stop the shock of my pain escaping me. I clutch my stomach, biting my
lip to try and stop further sounds of pain escaping me. “Deep breaths Nova, I’m here with you.” Kia
breathed. Whilst I had been able to deal with the pains in my heart, it now felt as if I was being stabbed
in my abdomen over and over, the physical pain adding to the emotional distress made me struggle to
keep control. “The f**kers” I growl softly through clenched teeth as wave after wave of pain surges
through me making my neck burn at Axtons betrayal.
“Would you like to postpone this meeting Luna Nova?” Alpha Jax asked softly. I looked up and I could
see concern flitting across his green eyes before they hardened and the Alpha mask was back up. “I
mean we can consult our Betas and resume this meeting this evening over dinner if it would be more
suitable. I myself find no objection in your request however as you have mentioned a witch may be
involved so we do need to consider our packs safety. Although after hearing you I do believe you may
be right. We need to focus on the best way forward as allies.”
As the pain momentarily subsided and I managed to regain my breath I offered him a small smile of
gratitude at his suggestion before straightening my back and speaking “Thank you for your concern
Alpha Jax, dinner will be at 7pm served in the dining room. We can discuss the way to proceed then. If
you may excuse me, I would like to freshen up and inform the kitchen of our evening ns. Alice is
outside the door, she will be more than happy to show you all to the guest rooms I have readied for
you.” My voice clear yet short indicating the meeting was now over. Everyone stood and began heading
towards Alice, sympathetic looks thrown my way. Taking a moment to myself before leaving the room I
can’t stop the tears from slowly falling down my face, “he was never ours Nova” Kia murmurs to me.
“I know Ki, I knew this day woulde but it hurts just the same. We have grown to love this man and
now his love towards me will be gone. I just need some time to ept that” I whisper.
“I understand Nova, I’m sure he wille to see us soon. Once we have exined to his mate our
agreement we can proceed and end this mateship so we don’t suffer anymore pain” Kia soothes me.
Hearing those words I shake my head to get a hold of myself and I stand up to leave the room.
Holding my head high and ensuring I have a smile on my face for my pack members, I hide how
devastated I truly feel. I make my way outside, however before I can reach the entrance hall a searing
pain in my abdomen causes me to call out and tears pool in my eyes. Doubling over the pain only got
worse, feeling as if I had been stabbed and the knife was being twisted in my stomach I fall to the
ground clutching at my sides. My heart breaks as I realise my mate is so lost in the throughs of passion
he hasn’t considered the pain he is inflicting on me. I hear Kia growl in anger as waves of loss hit me
through our breaking bond. Gritting my teeth I call for Alice silently, “Alice..help. Hurt…” gritting my
teeth to prevent the screams leaving my mouth, I groaned, tears streaming down my face.
“Luna…LUNAA” I heard being screamed before strong arms lifted me up off of the floor and my mind
went nk.
