Filed To Story: Fated is Overrated Novel Free by Brenda Minnaard
The moment we both realized we were mated to one another, the look on her face turned into one of pure disgust and it had my heart crumbling in pain. To top it all off, she wasted no time officially rejecting me. Never in my life had I felt so hurt and rejected. She didn’t hesitate for a second and never explained why she did what she did, but the look on her face said it all. She was disgusted to be mated to just a warrior. The pain of losing your mate is the worst pain out there for a werewolf. It literally feels like your heart is being ripped out of your chest, I can tell you that. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but I crumpled to the floor like a puppy, gripping at my chest. I didn’t want to accept her rejection at first, which is the only way for the bond to officially snap. But upon seeing my reluctance she wasted no time in bringing in the Alpha and Beta’s sons and her own brother, to literally kick me while I was down and force me into accepting her rejection. The only bittersweet part to all this was the sight of her also crumpling to the floor and gripping at her chest, crying for the pain to stop, when I accepted her rejection and the bond snapped. She may not have wanted to be mated to me, but at least she physically went through the same pain I did. What she stupidly enough probably didn’t realize though, is that the moon goddess very rarely ever blesses the one rejecting the other with a second chance mate. As she was so focused on being mated to any rank higher than me, she wasted no time thinking about that little detail. But unless the wolf has severe reasons for rejecting their mate – such as abuse, infidelity, etc. – the moon goddess won’t grant another chance. And if you were to lose your mate somehow, she would also give you a second chance of course.
As if it wasn’t bad enough for me to be rejected in the first place – she decided to taunt me further by being very openly affectionate with the Beta’s son every chance she got, every time I would be in close proximity. Seeing her personality like this made me wonder why I was ever in love with her to begin with. All the higher rank’s children seemed to relish in her taunting towards me, not caring at all that this was the worst pain for anyone to endure and that it was completely f*cking me up mentally. It got to the point where I felt I would rather die out there in rogue territory, than stay another minute longer. And so I did. I rejected my pack and walked out.
As I was almost drowning in my own thoughts of the past, I completely forgot about the girl and notice she is approaching the tree line already. As I move closer towards her but still out of sight, I see her head snap to the right and I see her freeze in her spot. Following her line of sight, I see two of the Rogue King’s other warriors approach her in wolf form, fast. F*ck. The wolves aren’t growling or snarling at her yet, probably just as intrigued by the sight as I was, but I can see their lustful gaze lingering on her while they start circling around her. If it were one wolf I could have easily snapped his neck, but with two of them the chances of them overpowering me is more than likely and for sure I would be wounded badly if I tried. I recognize the two wolves as two who are still partially in control of their wolves and not completely feral yet, but they are vicious f*ckers even in human form. My eyes snap to the girl, who seems to be eerily calm considering the circumstance, staring the wolves down. Which solidifies my earlier theory that she really has no clue what she is getting herself into being out here all alone.
Lola POV
F*CK. Right when I have finally managed to reach the tree line, I have to get caught by two wolves eyeing me out. ‘Ehmmm Lib, I could use some help here …’ ‘try to stay calm, don’t let them smell your fear. You are well trained. Don’t doubt yourself. And if it does go sour, I will take over. Don’t worry, ok?’ ‘kinda hard not to worry, when we are just one she wolf against two massive wolves…’ I reply, cutting off the link to focus on the showdown that is about to unfold. “Can I speak to your human forms, please?” I ask the wolves. The wolf in front of me remains on the spot until the other wolf joins him and they both shift to reveal their human forms. Completely naked, of course. I notice both men are covered in all sorts and shapes of scars all over their bodies. They are definitely rogues. Shifting my gaze to their faces, I can see their eyes are pitch black, completely filled with lust, staring at my frame. Although I am – as always – in wide clothes to try to cover as many curves as possible, I still feel insecure with them right now. I know my curves are still showing as I cannot hide them completely no matter what I wear. As if they read my mind, the smaller of the two guys asks “what is a pretty little thing like you wandering out here, all one?” whilst the bigger guy just stares at me, arms folded across his chest, with a devilish grin on his face. The sight of them both and their demeanor makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. These two definitely do not have good intentions. All of a sudden, the rogue from earlier doesn’t seem so bad anymore.
“I am just passing through the area heading to the next human town” I reply curtly, as I do no want to piss them off. I have a bad feeling about this. “Hmmmmh. You know it’s not safe for a little one like you to be out here all alone. We could offer you protection or even shelter since it is getting dark in a few hours, but for the right price, of course” he grins at me whilst the other one is still grinning at me as well. “Thank you, but I will be fine on my own. And I have nothing of value to offer anyway” I decide to bring that up, in case they were thinking of robbing me. Barely having finished my sentence, I notice the bigger guy is starting to make his way towards my side, wanting to circle me from the back, whilst the smaller guy takes a few steps closer towards me. “Oh but you do, little one. We are nice enough to offer you something in return. But if you refuse to take us upon our generous offer, we will take what is ours anyway”. I sense the bigger guy has completely circled me by now, and I can feel myself starting to panic. ‘RUN Lola RUN!’ Liberty yells, but somehow I am frozen in my spot, letting the fear of possibly being assaulted paralyze me. Where is my anger when I need it?! ‘LOLA NOW!!!!!’ I snap out of my thoughts and, although still terrified, I find myself jolting away as fast as I possibly can.
My leg is still not up to full speed, but I have to push through. If there is one fear I really have, it is being r*ped. The thought of someone so vile assaulting my untouched body gives me an enormous adrenaline rush and I push my sore leg harder and harder. Just as it seems like I am getting away from them ever so slightly, I hear two big roars coming from behind me, indicating they have shifted to their wolf forms. And without shifting to mine, they will definitely catch up to me now. ‘Liberty, what do I do?!’ ‘keep running until they catch up and then try to fight them in your human form, you got this! And if I sense we are fighting a losing battle, I will step in I promise. Trust yourself and trust me’. I hear the growls and paws bashing into the ground getting closer and closer. Just when I can almost feel them breathe down my neck I think to myself “well, it’s now or never”. I dive towards the ground, spinning myself around midair to land on my back. As the wolves hadn’t expected this move, the one right behind me is about to sprint over me at full speed. I use this to my advantage while I lunge my legs upwards, hitting him full force in the lower abdomen, forcing him up in the air and thumping to the ground a few feet behind me.
