My Poisonous Destiny

Prologue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My own blood. Miles Wheeler, my twin brother. Everything comes down to the two of us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Third Pov Destiny is something that has a way to pull you in, even if you don’t believe in such a thing. As time goes by, you learn to accept it. The fact is, it’s not an easy task. Creatures and humans alike, have a stubborn streak. When something is decided for them, it takes harder to grasp the situation. To know that everything was decided for you, leaving it out of your hands. What can you do? Fight till you drop. Maybe that way, a different scenery will appear. Making every step that was anticipated miss the objective. For our beloved Max, it wasn’t just destiny, but a pull that drew him to a certain situation. He didn’t feel it at first, but meeting Robert that night was not a coincidence. Both of them met because they felt a connection to that location. Not the mate bond, just simple physics. A call of Destiny. Miles Pov Everything has gone downhill since Max cursed me and this pack. We all thought it was stupid. He wasn’t anything special and his words are nothing to us. Not that it matter later on, when we realized how dumb we were. Flashback It was good at last, Max's presence was a disturbance for my inner peace. He really thought his words would mean anything to us. How pathetic, not that it was anything new. Max is and always will be a pathetic excuse of a werewolf. Getting rid of him was easier, I had a whole plan to make him regret ever being born. Now I can just concentrate on myself. Derek is just a step stone, I only wanted him for spite. A mere cockroach in my sight. My very own puppet, his string is just a little different. Hard and long. It’s predictable, he followed my every whim. Not gonna lie, the witch helped. Obsession is a powerful weapon. She just gave me a push in the right direction. The potion made him crazy about me. In a way that he will discard anything that isn’t me. Which worked pretty well. Now his moping all over because the potion has lost its effect. I can remember his words perfectly “You know, I thought maybe Miles said something to you, but now I only see a sorry excuse of a man, crawling all over at Miles' command. You two deserve each other. I cursed you to never be happy, and you, little brother, you will never be able to bear a child. I won’t let you. I, Max Wheeler, reject Derek Burns as my mate. I hope for the worst life for both of you.” Everytime I remember it makes me laugh. I had been feeling queasy since then, I think I am pregnant. So much for being cursed. Today I have a doctor's appointment to check how it is. This is going to be a drag, I am happy to prove my brother wrong, but I don’t want to ruin my figure. Just thinking about hearing a baby cry everyday makes me believe it is true. Derek isn’t in his right mind at the moment. When I told him my suspicions, he just spaced out. I hope he gets over this faze, it’s really childish. I need his full attention for this pup. It won’t be me taking care of it. That is just disgusting. At the pack doctor’s office The few pack members that were here looked at me weird. As if I had done something to them. They better realize who I am, I won’t hesitate to kill any of them. I didn’t come this far to just fail miserably. “Luna Miles” I heard from one of the pack nurses, surprising me. I must have been thinking too hard. That means they took a lot of time before calling me. I am The Luna, I shouldn’t be waiting for them, on the contrary, they should be waiting for me. “It was about time. It seems some people want to be kicked out of the pack. I can make that happen. Believe me.” I said, giving them a warning. I could hear them holding their breath, scared of my words. Perfect! “Sorry Luna, it won’t happen again.” One of them said. “I will make sure it won’t, heads will be flying next time.” I snarled to them. “Yes Luna. “ They said at the same time. This is what I like about being Luna, controlling these idiots. “Great, let’s go. Where is the room?” I said to the nurse that called me before. “Follow me, Luna.” She said in a whisper. Seems she is still scared about my warning. “Lead the way.” I told her. The room was two doors down to where we were before. It was big, and colorful. This room is reserved for the Alpha, Luna and their close family. Which is a good idea, not having to share the same room as the rest of them. The pack doctor was already in the room, sitting in the chair by the desk. When he saw me he got up and bowed. “Greetings, Luna. What brings you here today?” He said to me. Dismissing the nurse using one of his hands. “I want to know how my baby is doing. “ I said with confidence, he looked surprised at my statement. His eyes were on my belly, trying to decipher if he could hear a heartbeat. It didn’t work, it seems. At least that is what I can see in his expression. “Let’s do a sonogram then. Get on the bed, and put your shirt up.” He said to me. Working with the machine and getting ready with gloves. “Sure.” I replied. My answer was short. I didn’t want to waste my breath on him. “Let’s search for the little Alpha.” He said, the insinuation that is an Alpha got on my nerves. Just because my mate is an Alpha. “Or Little Omega, we don’t know. Don’t put titles on my pup.” I threatened him. Feeling satisfied when he looked close to pee on himself. “Sorry, Luna. Please forgive me, I didn’t mean anything by it.” He begged on his knees. “Just get to work, stop your drama.” I said, rolling my eyes. “Yes, Luna.” He said in a hurry, getting up. He put some gel on my belly, making me flinch. The wand was pressed on the same area and he started moving it around. Trying to find the pup. Followed by silence, I saw a look of dread on his face. What is happening? Is it in danger? What is it? “What???! Tell me, now!” I said, ordered him to tell me. “I am sorry to say this Luna, but you are not pregnant. In fact, you don’t have an uterus. Getting pregnant won’t be possible for you. Again, I am sorry.” He said, scared of my reaction. He should be. “Are you stupid? How could that be possible? I am an omega. I was just fine two years before, you incompetent doctor. Who made you a doctor here? YOU ARE FIRED!!” I said to him, I was in a hysteria and started to scream at him. How can he say that? He is wrong, it has to be a mistake. “Luna, please. I am sorry, don’t fire me. You can check with another doctor, but it is going to be the same. I wish it wasn’t true. Please don’t fire me, Luna. I beg you.” He said, crying his eyes out. He was on the floor, hugging my legs. “Let go of me, you are still fired. Even if you were right. I don’t like you. Simple as that.” I told him and he was about to lash out at me, but was stopped by some of the nurses that came because of the commotion. “Call the guards and tell them to get him out of here. He is banished.” I order them, making them run out of the room. In search of the guards. What I didn’t know was that this was just the beginning of my brother's promise. Max Pov This ride feels like the longest hours of my life. What is waiting for me it’s not good. I wish I could get out of this ordeal. Unfortunately, I can’t. I am The Luna, and I won’t leave my love, family and pack alone in that horrible place. Whatever is happening in that pack, it’s well deserved. Not that I am gonna say it outloud. Robert and our family are too positive to a fault. Even so, they realized I wasn’t happy with the decision. How could I be? I am going back to the place that made me miserable and bad. My darkness is connected to my brother, he brings the bad side of me. I hope they don’t see the side of me that will make them hate me. I know it won’t happen, but it’s really scary for me. “Are you okay, baby?” Robert asked me, taking my hand and kissing the back of it. “To be honest, no. You know that my brother and that pack is a dark part of my past. I am scared of what I may be capable of when I get there.” I said to him, telling him my problems was never hard. He inspires comfort and love. “I know, but this time is different. This time I am there with you. We will face it together, okay? Don’t worry your pretty little head with negative thoughts." He comforted me with his words. Like he always does. “Thank you, I love you so much, you know?” I said, squeezing his hand to find more comfort. “Any time, I know, you know why? Because I love you so much too. You are my whole world.” He told me, looking me directly in my eyes. I only saw love there and admiration. “You make me blush every time, I got lucky with you.” I said, putting my head on his shoulder. We were at the back of his father's car, Nathan was sleeping in my lap. He is an angel. “Is the other way around, believe me.” He said with a smirk. What is going through his head right now. “Get your head out of your d**k, Rob.” I reprimanded him with a smile on my face. “I wasn’t talking about that, babe” He whined. “Like I don’t know you by now.” I said trying not to laugh, he was pouting, it was so cute. His father didn’t hide it as I did and started to laugh. As a consequence, we all ended up laughing. This is helping me get that out of my mind for the rest of the drive. You will regret everything you did, Miles. My presence will be enough punishment for you. Third Pov The scenery was amazing, one will think nothing bad is going to happen, but the direction tells another story. That pack is part of something that was left behind for a reason. The rogue problem has to do with Max's brother, Miles. It tracks, someone like him is bound to pick up some enemies. In his case, just by being near, he has bad juju. No one likes to be treated like garbage, the only difference is that some people do not retaliate against the situation. Someone from the pack must be helping the rouges, they get closer each time, knowing the vulnerable spots in the pack territory. They will have to smoke out the traitor before doing something else; because changing the schedule won’t work if the rogues have someone on the inside. The good thing is, Max will know who it is. He has a sixth sense that will help them. Even if he doesn’t want to do it. Not for that pack or anyone in it. He only has curiosity, that itch to know how miserable his twin must be. The thought crosses his mind once in a while, he won’t let his mere memory make him sad or regretful. “Babe?” Robert called Max, making him look at him with a smile. “Yeah?” Max answered. “Nathan is awake. The little one is hungry, where did you pack the snacks?” He told Max. Alerting him of Nathan’s awakeness. “Oh, sorry sweetie, I was just thinking. What do you want? I packed apples, oranges and some chocolate chip cookies.” Max asked Nathan, kissing his forehead. “I want the cookies, Papa. Please!!” Nathan answered, pouting. This is his technique to get what he wanted. “Sweetie, you don’t have to pout, if I didn't want to give you cookies, I wouldn’t have mentioned them. You look so cute, my little angel.” Max told him, hugging him and squeezing his cheeks. “Papaaaa, don’t squeeze my cheeks. Can I have the cookies now, please?!” He said with puppy dog eyes. “Sure, sweetie. Let me get the bag.” Max said, grabbing a bag that was by his foot. “It was that one? I could have done it.” Robert said to Max. “Yeah, I know.” Max said, laughing at Robert. He is really something. “Meanie, can I get cookies too?” Robert said, trying to use puppy dog eyes and failing miserably. “Yes, you can. I made a lot, you guys have a sweet tooth.” Max said giving three cookies to Nathan with a juice box, and then gave Robert three too. Both of them looked happy when he gave them the cookies. That made Max happy, seeing his two loves enjoy what he made. He is lucky to get a second chance at happiness. Robert Pov Now I finally get to see the place that made Max become something he is not. A vengeful person. He went from being happy to thinking he didn’t have any other choice but to get even. How will this even work? I hope this decision won’t end up making Max go back to a dark place. He is really strong. I wouldn’t be able to go back to the same place that was hell for me. If he wants to leave, I don't think twice before grabbing our stuff and coming back to our safe haven. Far away from his brother and ex-mate. I want to punch them so bad, violence is not a part of me. For Max I will do anything. Including killing those pesky bugs. They will pay for what they did. Helping them and forgiving them are not on the same page. Dart it, these cookies are good. It can make me forget everything. He makes these cookies once a month, because Nathan is getting addicted to it. Not gonna lie, so am I. Everything he makes tastes amazing. He has magic hands. And he knows it. He likes to brag, it’s kind of cute. We have that in common, or so he says. I don’t brag, I just tell the truth. “Nathan, do you want more cookies?” I asked Nathan, for me too. I want more. “Robert.” Max warned me. “YES!! COOKIES!!! More, please! I will love you forever.” He cheers and begs Max, using blackmail, even when he doesn’t know what it is. “You want cookies? Yeah, just you.” He answered Nathan, smirking my way. Darn it, he saw right through me. Now how am I gonna get some cookies? “YAY!! Thank you, Papa. I love you.” He cheered, hugging Max and kissing one of his cheeks. “Can I get one too?” I heard my dad whisper, trying to gain sympathy. “Anything for you, Dad.” Max said passing a few cookies to Dad, who was close to jumping, but stopped himself because he is the one driving. Mom was going to say something too and Max passed her some cookies. “How did you...?” She said surprised. “Robert is like that. He must have learned it from you guys.” He said, laughing. “Is it that obvious?” Mom asks with shyness in her tone. She must be embarrassed. “Yeah, sorry, Mom.” Max told her, smiling. “That is why I love you so much. It feels like I have known you my whole life. You really are special, sweetheart. I am happy Robert’s got you.” She said to my baby, close to crying. She always does this sometimes. Get a little emotional. “I am the lucky one, Mom. Thank you guys for being part of my family. I love you.” Max said, putting his head on my shoulder. “I don’t think so. Let’s just go with it, then. These cookies are good, sweetie, everytime.” Mom was devouring the cookies, seriously? She forgets her manners sometimes. The rest of the ride was us stopping for the bathroom and food. Unfortunately, good moments don’t last forever. As we felt the pull of crossing the pack territory, everyone in the car got tense. Silence took over the car. This is gonna get old, really fast. “Welcome to my past, the Redmoon Pack. Nathan baby, don’t talk to anyone here, even if they say they know me, okay? Promise me.” Max said, a little agitated. I grab his hand and kiss his temple to calm him. “Yeah, Papa. I know about it, stranger danger. Does it mean bad uncle here?” Nathan said to Max. We told him a few things, to avoid any confusion for Nathan. Even if we don’t want it, he has a twin and Nathan could be confused about them. “Yeah baby, don’t get close to him. He looks like me, but isn’t as nice.” Max told him, getting comfortable in my arms. It seems I helped him calm down. What awaits us won’t be easy, but we can overcome anything as a family.
