Unwanted Mate

Numb And Defeated

Fleur had already known that the white mating dress would look beautiful on Rosie as for Rosie was the definition of true beauty. The red jewels that Fleur had decorated over the dress complimented Rosie’s pale white skin. She looked beautiful as she wore the white dress that she was supposed to wear during her mating.

But her skin was a little bit too pale. Extremely pale.

Fleur closed her eyes as drops of tears began to fell off her face , running from her eyes to the cheeks all the way to her lips, she could taste the saltiness of her own tears. She wished that Rosie was there with her to wipe those tears away.

Rosie did looked beautiful in the mating dress but the difference was , instead of walking down the aisle for the mating, Rosie laid peacefully in the coffin. Dead and cold. The sight was disheartening.

Fleur looked up in the sky, silently cursing the moon goddess for taking away her sister. What was her mistake? What has she ever done to anyone? Yes, she did break the rule of not going out before mating but wasn’t the punishment a little bit too harsh? The superstition was silly to begin with and even if Rosie broke that rule, death was not the punishment she deserved.

It was early in the morning and all the wolves were gathered in the cemetery ground, ready to bury their angel. The coffin was placed on the ground, ready to bury.

Ironically, it was raining and Fleur chuckled at it. It felt as if even the sky was crying over the loss , raining when it was supposed to be the start of the winter. They were taking the angel away.

The head Alpha started reciting the rituals but for Fleur it felt a distant scene. None of these felt real, none of these felt as if it was happening to her, it still didn’t felt as if she had lost her sister because she was still with her, she will always be with her.

Fleur glanced at the Alpha who was suffering the most but it seemed that his condition was same as that of her own. He wasn’t crying and even though if he was crying , the rain was washing off his tears. He had a stern look on his face as if he was angry with the entire universe.

But on the other hand the situation with her mother and her father was different. They were crying , shouting and cursing at the fate which Rosie had brought with her. Fleur didn’t had ant energy to go and comfort them, she didn’t know what to say and what to do, being numb from the world around her. She was nowhere in condition comfort them anyway.

She glanced at Rosie and glared at her. How can she do that? How can she leave just like that? How can she leave all her dreams ? She promised to be with Fleur for lifetime.

Today was important to Rosie , she was supposed to be mated with Noah, the Alpha she had had crush on since forever. They had a future in front of them, how can she just leave everything behind and leave the earth?

She watched as Noah, closed the lid of the coffin with a blank face. She heard people trashing around , trying to glance at Rosie some more, even though it was for hardly a few seconds. She closed her eyes momentarily to keep the image of her sister engraved in her mind , the happy , cheerful face of Rosie.

She didn’t glance at her face. Fleur didn’t need that because she already have Rosie’s beautiful face engraved in her mind forever.

She remembered how Rosie was when they were younger.

When Fleur was three years old , she was bouncy on her feet. As mischievous as she was, she would ran around the ground carelessly, Sometimes behind the tiny yellow butterfly and Sometimes behind the dragonfly, trying to hold them in her tiny hand, albeit failing miserably. She was a cute and curious child.

During one of her such events, Fleur ran behind the yellow butterfly but her wobbly tiny feet stumbled on the stone that was on the ground, making her fall face first on the ground with a rather ugly thud but Fleur gave out even uglier cry at that.

“ Fleur! Are you okay?” Rosie had asked. “ What happened?” She asked as she ran towards her little sister.

“ Fell.” Fleur had replied with her limited vocabulary and pointed at the ground. Rosie immediately turned to glare at the ground before hitting the spot on which Fleur fell , effectively gaining a giggle from Fleur. “ Naughty ground! How can you give booboo to my Fleur! “ She had shouted with fake anger.

And Fleur closed her eyes as more tears began to fell from her blue eyes , making her vision blurry. She looked around herself, beside her was Felix who was too crying his heart out while he kept clinging to her .

“ Why do you even read this things?” Felix had asked on one fine afternoon as he made his way in their cabin, stumping his feet and glared at Rosie who was reading a romantic novel with a cup of tea in her hand. She raised her brow at him, clearly amused by him. “ All they write in this books are just a pure lie.” He said as he grabbed the apple from the table and angrily took a bite from it while Rosie and Fleur exchanged a look among each other. The Omega was Sometimes angry for no reason .

“ What is wrong?” Rosie was the one who asked as she placed the book down on the coffee table and looked at him who was munching on the apple. “ Did Daniel do something?” Rosie asked, knowing full well that the younger had a crush on the older Alpha, Daniel. Felix scoffed at that. Daniel was someone with cold heart.

“ That’s the thing, he does nothing!” He exclaimed and looked at Rosie who looked at him confused. “ Tomorrow is mating ceremony and that stupid Alpha had still not asked me for mating.” He pouted and Rosie frowned at him.

“ Dummy , you are seventeen! How can he ask you for mating?” She said . “ He is far more better than fictional character because he is waiting for the right time.” She had said making Felix smile at that and Fleur smiled too. Daniel was considering everything before taking a step ahead.

Seeing how Felix was crying right now made Fleur think that she is not the only one who lost a sister , Felix lost his sister too. Rosie was like his own sister too.

She turned her body and pulled Felix in a hug that only made the male Omega cry harder, his honey scent pungent . It was weird seeing a cheerful Omega like Felix cry.

From his shoulder, Fleur looked at Noah who was silently standing beside the head Alpha with his head hung low , coffin right in front of him in which his love laid. She can’t even imagine from what he is going at the moment .

Because she was there when they first started dating, she was their when Rosie can’t gush enough about how Noah held her hand and how big his hand was in comparison to her own. About how his decent was so good. She was there when she Rosie blushed all over and whispered in her ears that they both kissed.

She was there throughout their journey, from being shy couple to the confident couple who were always spotted cuddling somewhere, always together and inseparable.

Noah looked distraught in his state, far away from the world just like how Fleur is feeling at the moment. He was suffering too much.

It was one of those night when the sister duo would lay awake till late in the night and share interesting things that were happening in the pack. It was mostly Rosie who would talk about everything and on the other hand , Fleur would be more than ready to give her a listening ear.

“ You know, Fleur. Whenever I look at Noah I think I fall in love with him more.” Rosie had sighed dramatically as she rolled over the bed and clenched on the furs , pulling it close to her chest as she stared at the ceiling. “ I did something today.” She said. “ I almost gave myself to him.” She sighed.

“ What?” Fleur exclaimed at that and looked at her with wide eyes before crawling towards her on the bed and shaking her lightly. “ That’s so wrong! You aren’t supposed to do that before mating night!”

“ I know Miss Right but in my defense I was high on pheromones but so was he.” She explained with a smile , dreamy smile on her face , she had a blush on her cheeks. “ But you know what he did?” She asked and didn’t bother to wait for her reply. “ He pushed me away and told me that he would claim me with the permission of the entire pack. “ She said and giggled before looking at Fleur who was smiling at her too. “ How can I get so lucky?” She had asked that night.

Fleur wanted to tell her now that no, she wasn’t lucky. She was the unlucky one here who had everything right in front of her but ended up getting nothing.

Noah had lived Rosie to the bits, cried with her, laughed with her. He even tried his hardest to get Alex, Alice and Fleur like him which was not a hard task, considering that he was a charmer.

He would always stand tall and proud but right now he looked defeated, broken and vulnerable as he watched the love of his life being placed in the ground by four other Alphas and he could do nothing except watching. Her parents where crying too, loudest and most painful to hear. Her mother was not able to control herself when the Omega wolves washed Rosie’s body with rose water. There were scars deeper than visible. Their Rosie died a painful death.

Rosie was also their father’s little princess. Fleur remembered how she would go running in his arms whenever he would return home from hunting.

Their father had never cried in front of them but right now , he too was crying like a baby, defeated from everything. He had lost her baby.

Fleur finally gave our a broken cry when she watched Noah break down on the ground kneeling as he sobbed his heart out.
