Filed To Story: Fated is Overrated Novel Free by Brenda Minnaard
Even though he is surprisingly quiet right now. It helps that our Lycans absolutely despise rogues by nature. I growl viciously before pushing out “you either go with him, or you will leave here. But it’ll be in a body bag. Your pick”. I glance over to Zane from the corner of my eye to check if he was able to see through my fa?ade, but he is just staring at Lola. “F*ck you. Try me, *sshole” she spits out with as much venom as she could muster. Damon just grins and winks at her while playfully saying “leave that part up to me”. And as we had discussed, this is now Zane and my cue to shift. Zane is just standing there so I mind link him to shift as we had discussed. Lex and Lance take over and within a second we are in our Lycan forms.
Lex and Lance are snarling and clapping their teeth at her, while stalking forward like a predator stalking its prey. I feel confusion coming from Lex when she doesn’t even flinch, she just stands her ground. Who the hell just stands there, arms folded across her chest, when 2 angry 10ft Lycans are approaching. I keep saying this, but her balls must be the size of the Avicii arena. Lex and Lance are snarling viciously at her. And yet she doesn’t move a muscle. I doubt she is even blinking right now? She looks completely unimpressed, and I can feel Lex doesn’t know what to do now. Nobody has ever had this reaction to him before, not even when he wasn’t snarling and stalking someone. And furthermore, we don’t actually want to hurt her. We just want to scare rogues off our land. While Zane, our wolves and I are lost in thoughts and a bit dumbstruck, she drops her gaze to the floor and lets out a strained chuckle. ‘What is wrong with her?’ Lex asks me, but I am still at a loss for words. When she looks back up, Lex and I stop dead in our tracks and I am sure Zane and Lance have too. Her eyes are pitch black, not just the irises, completely pitch black like a demon or something you see in movies. And as she starts to speak, actual fire erupts in her eyes and from her body. It looks like she is actually on fire and if I hadn’t seen the anger in her eyes, I might have thought she was. It’s unlike anything I have ever seen before in my life.
She speaks up in a voice that isn’t her own or not only her own. The voice is primal, mixed with her own “So. I have survived being abandoned in rogue infested woods as a baby. My mother’s death. Being bullied and beaten for years by the person I loved and trusted as a child. Almost being s*xually assaulted by sthe same person. Betrayed by the only friends I ever had. I survived 2 weeks in the wilderness being chased by s*xual deviant rogues and I even had to throw myself off a massive waterfall because I was being chased by a rogue army and their f*cking deviant leader. Only to end up here, in the “arms” of you 2 entitled wastes of oxygen, trying to sell me off as a s*x slave to this guy here – whatever the hell he is. The only people ever who should have loved me and wanted to protect me. ARE SHIPPING ME OFF TO BE VANDALIZED?!?!”. She started of soft, but she is yelling at the top of her lungs near the end, while she pushes out an aura that has us almost suffocating and buckling our knees. We are just hanging on by a thin thread here. How the hell is she able to push out an aura like this? It’s equal to my father’s aura or perhaps even, stronger? I was so distracted by her appearance, her aura, everything, that her words failed to sink in sooner. What does she mean by the only people ever who should have loved her and wanted to protect her?
“We have been waiting for this moment, to see if your wolves were equal pieces of sh*t as you are, and I guess we just got our answer” she continues, as the most delicious scent I have ever smelled hits my nose all of a sudden. It’s the smell of fresh amber wood, mixed with jasmine. My mouth waters instantly as Lex swallows hard and speaks the shocking words ‘MATE! Zeke, she is our mate….’ ‘f*ck! How? How is that possible? How have we never noticed the bond?!’ ‘I don’t know Zeke… I didn’t even sense her Lycan at all. But mate is very, very powerful. I assume she was hiding on purpose’. Well f*ckkkkkkkk. F*ckety f*ck f*cking f*ck f*ck. I could go on for days. It can take a Lycan decades to find their mate! We only get one mate, and she is chosen by the moon goddess to be our perfect other half. And looking at her now, she is obviously very powerful too. And I f*cked up royally. How can I even begin to fix this?! I wonder if she is Zane’s mate too, but I am pretty sure she is, as we are identical twins and identical twins always share a mate. I get my answer when Zane mind links me ‘f*ck f*ck f*******ck!!!!’.
Zeke POV
We both shifted back to our human forms to be able to speak. Just when I am about to.. Well, who am I kidding? I wasn’t going to do anything. I am actually rooted to the spot, too stunned to do anything and too many thoughts running through my mind. How is this possible? What have I done? How could I ever fix this? From what I have known about her so far, there is no way on earth she will ever forgive us. I would call it hard-headed, but honestly, she knows not to take sh*t from anyone. Which is exactly what we have given her over and over again. If I wasn’t so sour about the situation, I would have admired the karma that has been dished out here. We treated her like sh*t when she was nothing to us. Now she turns out to be everything to us, and we will be treated like sh*t. I can’t even blame her, but that doesn’t mean I am going to give up. The mate bond is sacred, and I feel like the biggest fool on the planet for not recognizing earlier how perfect she is. We got stuck up our own *ss and thought we were better than her because she turned herself rogue. Oh, how the tables have turned. Luckily for us, she can’t just get rid of us even if she were to reject us – which I am sure is coming. It would crack the bond severely, but it wouldn’t break it all together without us accepting the rejection. And nobody in their right mind would do that. Not just because a fated mate makes you a lot stronger, but because being mated to your fated mate is so much more.. Everything than a chosen mate. Your fated mate is your soulmate, the other half of your soul. And not to mention, you only get 1 shot as Lycan.
You can smell them a lot stronger than any other wolf or chosen mate, they will carry your favorite scent and the scent is maddening, mouthwatering. When you touch your fated mate electrical sparks and tingles will run through you wherever you touch. Your mate also has the ability to calm you whether you are nervous, angry, scared or any other bad emotion, just by having them in your proximity. Their scent and touch will soothe your soul and calm you down instantly. Having them close will also stimulate the healing process when either is hurt. They really are the yin to your yang, perfect for you in every way. And Zane and I have messed this up, probably beyond repair. All I can hope is that perhaps our mother, who she seems to like a lot, can jump to our aid somehow. Although, knowing mother, she is going to give us the scolding of a lifetime. And even after all that, I am not sure if she would help. And even if she did, I am skeptical if it would do any good. We really have been terrible to her, our latest stunt being a prime example.
Before I can open my mouth to say anything, or just keep opening and closing it like a fish out of water like I have been doing, her fire blazes up and I am dropped to my knees by an invisible force. It’s unlike anything I have ever felt before. I am unable to struggle back as the weight crushes me down, and I can’t move my body an inch. Before I can ask Lex or link Zane what the hell is going on, I feel the bones in my legs snap, and the pain is excruciating. I can’t help but scream out and as I do, I can hear Zane screaming in agony as well. Although we heal amazingly fast, it still hurts like a b*tch. I look up to Lola and her eyes are still blazing with fire, but there is now also a bloodshot red color in the mix. Whatever the reason, it can’t be good. Never in my life have I seen or heard what is happening to her eyes right now. She saunters towards us and I have to admit I am a little scared of her right now. I don’t know what is up with her eyes, she looks demonic. And how the hell did our bones just snap? Is she part witch or something? I wonder what she is going to do, and I don’t have to wait long for the answer as she says in a gruff voice “we, Lola Chevron and Liberty, reject both of you, Zeke and Zane as our mates”. I clutch my chest in agony, the pain being a lot worse than the bones that just got snapped, or any other injury I have ever had. The pain is excruciating. Is it like this for normal wolves as well, or just for Lycans, as we only get one mate? And normal wolves can get a second chance mate? I can’t imagine a normal wolf living through this much pain, it’s absolutely gut-wrenching, and I try hard not to pass out from the pain.
