Chapter 2
Star's pov
My life used to be a good one, well mostly anyway, I grew up with both of my parents who loved me and my sister very much. Dad is a fae lord, and mum was a betas daughter in a wolf pack. So my sister and I are here because of Princess Ruby and King Christian, showing everyone that it is OK to love another species and how special a child can be because of that bond.
Rayne the now queen of the South lycan kingdom, opened the way for mixed mate bond couples to accept their other half the way her parents were unable to do at the time, and my parents benefitted from it and are just as in love now as the day they met.
With having such an amazing example of the mate bond, my sister and I always dreamed of the day we would meet our mate. It is just a shame that jealousy and bitterness overtook her and changed her into a person that I didn’t know or like much anymore.
It started in her early teenage years, Joy started to hate me. It started with jealousy as I managed to get two fae powers where she only mastered one. She was happy at first when dad started to teach us our powers as they both had water as their element, where as I had fire, she felt that her and dad shared more of a connection.
She had always hated combat, so she was always jealous of the time mum and I spent training, and she convinced herself that mum preferred me because I shared the same interests. It was bullsh.it, mum and dad loved us both the same.
So when I started to show that I also had the power of water, it upset her so much she fought with me. There was absolutely nothing wrong with having only one power. The majority of the fae only have one power, with mostly royalty having more.
To Joy, this didn’t matter. She always preferred her fae side, as she had a weaker wolf half. Unlike me, who inherited the beta gene from mum, Joy’s wolf was an omega. Now omega’s when trained right can become powerful, but she ignored her wolf Sana, which was a shame as she was a very sweet wolf who loved her family and their beasts and wanted nothing more than to be allowed to love and bond with them.
She was so upset with Sana not being as strong as Sapphire that she would never let our wolves get close to each other as she just blocked her away most of the time and pretended that she didn’t have a wolf.
In school, it became really bad. Any guy who showed the slightest bit of interest in me she would either blow them or fu.ck them to get them to like her more. There was even this kid who was a bit of a nerd. He took time to grow into his looks (he is now actually very handsome), and I was doing a school project with him.
Now, Joy would never have been seen dead with him, but because we spent so much time together on the project, she assumed we were dating. So long story short, Hank got the best blow job of his life, and Joy ended up rather embarrassed when he said to her he can’t dump me because we were never an item. She got a lot of sh.it from her peers for that one as he wasn’t one of the popular kids.
You would think she would have learned her lesson after that, but no, it didn’t stop the behaviour, and she even tried to screw my best friend Clark. She seemed to think him being gay was an excuse not to be with her and that he secretly loved me. He did love me, but as a sister, I just don’t have the right parts for him.
The poor guy was hounded by her until he got a boyfriend and she caught them snogging together, and the guy asked her to stop trying to make his boyfriend straight as even if he was he wouldn’t go for a skanky sl.ut like her.
Because she had slept with half of the guys in school, her first mate rejected her. It happened to be Hank, and by this time, he was considered hot and a catch as his parents were also Lords. She was upset by this, but at the end of the day, you can not go around acting like that and expect no consequences.
She got really jealous when I met my mate just after turning 18, and he was a future lord in one of the towns quite far away from us. Tywin was quite good-looking with his green hair and light green eyes. The bond made me trust and love him instantly. I never thought it would end up being the worst decision of my life accepting my mate.
Everything was great at first. Yes, I did miss my family like crazy, but his parents were wonderful and treated me like the daughter they never had. Clark also moved towns with me as his mate was nowhere to be seen, and he thought he would try somewhere new. It worked out in his favour as 5 months in he met the man he was meant to be with, and they are happily living together.
It was around 8 months into our bond that Tywin’s behaviour changed. He had always been a bit sour that I had more power than him and made sure I didn’t tell anyone about it, so he looked the more powerful out of the two of us. He was also extremely jealous when any man would look at me.
I think it was in our 9th month that he hit me for the first time. I almost ripped his hand off. If it wasn’t for Sapphire, I think I would have, but she couldn’t stand the thought of hurting her mate. Then, another month after that, I felt the pain of betrayal for the first time.
Sapphire retreated into me in pain, and when I confronted him about it, it led to a physical fight. One where he attacked me, and I tried to defend myself without hurting him. Damn mate bond made me soft. As he fought me, he denied touching anyone else. That wouldn’t be our last altercation, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t catch him in the act.
When I found out I was pregnant I had mixed feelings, I hoped that this would change him for the better, but I also knew that that probably wouldn’t be the case and that I would be bringing up this little one on my own, once I could get him to agree to reject me.
Well, he took the news worse than I thought, accusing me of sleeping with someone else and it not being his child before he attacked me again. Sapphire came out of hiding to protect her pup, and let’s just say I left him with a couple of black eyes and a broken nose before going to Clarks house to stay the night away from him.
It was the next day near lunchtime that the pains of betrayal started again. Perseus, Clark’s mate, told me he had seen Tywin going in our house with a woman. Both men asked if I wanted them to come with me to confront him, but I knew I had to do this on my own.
I was surprised as hell when I managed it back to my home with all of the pain, and saw my sister riding my mate on our sofa, as if this was an acceptable thing to do. I instantly soaked them with my water to let them know I was here, and my sister just covered herself with a blanket while she smirked at me. This is a new low even for her, I hadn’t even realised she had moved here.
“I take it you are the one I have to thank for all these pains I have had for the last couple of months dear sister” I say with a hint of sarcasm at the end.
“Don’t blame your sister it is all your fault for lying and cheating on me, you mutt” he shouts, not even bothering to cover himself up, I laughed an evil laugh.
“I Star Clementine, reject you Tywin Hampton as my mate” I say firmly, being spared of the bond breaking pain because of his betrayal of the bond.
“Remember what we talked about sweety” Joy’s voice screeched.
“I Tywin Hampton, accept your rejection and break all ties with any child conceived in this bond. I will no be responsible for a child that is not mine” He says, looking at me with disgust.
“Out of curiosity, who is it I am supposed to have betrayed you with, and why didn’t you feel the pain of it like I did?” I ask now much calmer and happier now that he had freed me and my child from him.
“Clark obviously you are always sneaking off to him and I would not feel the pain as I am not a shifter but you were seen with him by your sister” he sneers and this time I really have to laugh.
“Oh thank you for that. After the last few months, I really needed a good laugh. Now that I am free from you and you thought it was a good idea to listen to the town sl.ut, I will point out a few things for you. One Clark is gay, and he has always been gay, Joy knows this as she has tried to sleep with him on several occasions to get him away from being my friend. He is also happily mated to Perseus. Now that is sh.it about not feeling pain. You should have learned that in school, so maybe you should ask your parents as you tell them how much of a fu.ck up you are. I’m off, have a great life, I am so glad that you will not be in MY sons life” I say walking out the door, getting in my car and driving off to the sight and sound of my ex mate calling my name desperately as he is covered in just his boxers. Well, the neighbours got a great show.
I called Clark to let him know I am going back to mums and then call mum saying I am on my way and I will explain when I get there. Then I put my phone on silent to stop the incessant calls from Tywin the pr.ick.
