How to reject a Luna

Chapter 19

*Tobias POV*

I look at Sebastian lying on the ground. I hate him right now but he is right this is all my fault I should have just told him about her, and I should of accepted her straight away, if I hadn't been such a d**k to her she would be in my arms right now, Sebastian and her would just be friends, of course I know he wouldn’t have touched her if he knew, he wouldn’t have coveted my mate, I wouldn't be losing my best friend, I wouldn’t be losing a fantastic beta, I wouldn't have lost my luna.

My life wouldn’t be in disarray and I might even by happy, the long lost feeling of happiness.

The crashing weight of the situation nearly cripples me. I struggle to breathe, have I lost the most important people to me? Have I fvcked everything up so badly that it is all beyond repair?

I look back regretfully at Sebastian, but I stand stand to help him, the smell of my mate all over him makes me nauseous.

I link some warriors to take Sebastian upstairs to his room. I am lost, I am so far gone I don't know what to do, I have not even the slightest inkling of a solution, my wolf needs violence. The only thing I can think to make myself feel better right now it's to go pay a visit to those rogues.

I walk in and see them dangling from the ceiling by their feet, Sebastian must of come in yesterday while I was gone and done some damage while, the blood spatter all over the walls and ceiling is prominent and somewhat artistic.

The 2 scumbags look up at me as I walk in, heir faces are red from the gathered blood. While the walls floor and ceiling paint a violent picture it is nothing like the dried blood on their bodies, the wounds are healed, but the blood tells the story, it shows me that Sebastian had fun yesterday.

That makes me even more homicidal, such a good beta, what a waste.

This time I don't sit this time, this time there is no calm, this time there is no reasoning and persuading, I just extend my claws and walk straight up to them, fury burning bright a murderous aura radiating, they know I mean business, I am not here to play games, I am not here to calmly ask questions. Today there is no longer just a beating in order, today I am here to eradicate the problem.

I have all the time in the world but I don’t even have a single second to waste on these oxygen thieves, why don’t I do the world a favor and eradicate the problem?

"You will fvcking talk right this minute"

I snarl through extended canines. Even though their fear is evident, and there is a slight shake in his voice, one of them says

"We are not telling you anything"

I shrug nonchalantly, my aura doesn’t diminish at all and my thirst for violence only peaks.

"That's fine you die"

I walk up to the first wolf, the one that spoke, the one that dared to look me in the eyes, I extend my claws and rip through his skin, the screams of anguish are nearly deafening but they bring me a sort of sick satisfaction. I smile as my eyes glint with cruelty.

I rip until every shred of his skin is hanging like ribbons from his body, until he is silent and dead, even then I keep tearing. I finally stop and leave his bloody corpse dangling as a bleeding tattered mess, not much left to show what he even was. I laugh, I laugh with all the hatred I have been inside of me. I walk to the second rogue, his eyes are wide open as he stares in fear at the brutal scene.

His whole body is trembling so much that it even makes the chains grind in a heavy metallic sound. His breathing is raspy, can can hardly correlate a sentence and I don’t think he has even dared to blink.

"Please, please I will talk"

I am not sure I even want him to talk anymore, I just want to end it. They have had enough time, does it take death to push that point?

"It's a bit late now, don't you think?"

"Please I don't know much, but I will tell you what I do know"

I assumed as much, they are just low level idiots, with no information why even waste my time, but I pause my movements, he has 30 seconds grace before he dies.

"I'm listening, make it quick"

"We were sent here to collect someone"

"Who?"

"Like I said I don't know much I just got told that she would be here"

"Who would be here?"

"A powerful huntress"

"A huntress?"

A huntress? I don't know a huntress there is no hunters in this pack why would there be a huntress in a wolf pack? It is their job kill our kind, does he think we are harboring one or that one is sneaking around? But hunters are human and there is no humans in my pack and I have been doing a lot of patrolling the only time I smell human is when I go to school.

"Yes we get sent to bring home a huntress"

"There is no huntress in my pack what are you even talking about? Why would you come here looking for one?"

"There is"

He looks serious and thoroughly convinced, why would he think that way? He doesn’t seem like he is lying, so someone is lying to him? For what purpose?

"There is no huntress here, I am sure I would know, so why would you come here looking for one?"

Rogues are generally stupid, but they value their lives and are rarely suicidal, coming so far into a packs land is as good as a suicide mission, especially for a strong pack like mine, so why take the risk? Why do something so stupid unless they had proof? But what proof? Obviously there is no huntress here.

"We were told she would be close to you"

If this mans face wasn’t so serious and his expression without a trace of a lie, I would think that he was lying to me just trying to buy time, to save his worthless life.

"Close to me, what do you mean?"

"We got told that she would be around you, that she was your……..."

He stops and looks at me. Because she is my mate. The only human in the pack is Willow, she would be around me because she is my mate. But it makes no sense. My mate is a huntress and rogues after her? Willow can't be a huntress, it's impossible. So why would they think that way? It can’t be right, I must be mistaken, that is not what he meant, I want like anything to be mistaken.

"She is my fvcking what?"

"She is your mate"

"And how would someone even know that?"

"The person that wants her knows that"

I open the door and run out the cell, I don’t even bother to kill him. I just need to check on her, I need to make sure she is safe. While I don’t believe what he said, I don’t like the thought that anyone could be after her. If someone truly believes that could they harm her. Could they kill an innocent person over a mistake?

Is she in danger?

'Sebastian'

Even through link his furious roar hurts my brain.

'Fvck you Tobias'

I don’t even acknowledge the grudges, that can wait, Willow’s safety is my main concern.

'Are you with Willow?'

'No, I just woke up you fvcking bastard'

I want to wring his neck, he can shout and curse me all he wants later, for now I just need him to answer the questions. I snap impatiently.

'Where is she then?'

'Why do you care anyway?'

'Do you really think I don't care about her at all?'

'I know you don't, if you do, you have such a fvcked way of showing it'

I am well aware of that fact, I want to fix all my wrongs, I want her to forgive me, I want him to forgive me. I am willing to work hard to make it all better, no matter how hard I work it may never be fixed.

Her safety is more important than anything, even if I can never be with her, as long as she is safe, then I will get over it, I will keep her safe from afar.

'You are dead wrong Sebastian, I need to know where she is, the rogues finally told me what they were after, it was her, it is her Sebastian, they were after my mate'

'Why would they be after her? That makes no sense, what has she done, she is just a human, even I didn’t know she was your mate so it makes no sense to kill her to get to you'

'Someone knows she is my mate and for some reason they seem to think that she is more than just a human, they seem to think that she is a powerful huntress'

The more I say it, they more it sounds insane.

'There is no way on earth she's a huntress'

'I agree with that, it is impossible, someone is wrong, but until we get this sorted out I need to find her, I need to protect her, she is in danger, even if it is false, as long as they believe it she is no longer safe, please just tell me where she is, I only care about her safety'

'I gave her my car keys and told her to drive back to her dorm, if I didn’t come for her in 2 hours I told her to leave town'

‘What? Why would you tell her that? How long has it been? She could be anywhere’

‘You were going crazy, I thought you might hurt her’

I am beyond frustrated, why is everything spiraling so far out of my control? I bark.

‘I admit that I went insane, but I would never hurt her’

I take a deep breath and compose myself, the more crazy I go, the less I can think straight. She is probably fine, I just repeat this over and over again trying to calm myself enough to formulate a plan.

'I need you now, I need you back by my side, I need my beta back, you are the only one I can trust, until we get this all sorted out then you can do with me whatever you want'

I run towards the pack house and see him running towards me he is on his phone.

"She isn't picking up"

I grab my keys out my pocket.

"Let's go get her"

We sprint towards my car. I noticed that Sebastian is not beside me anymore. I turn around to look at him, he is frozen on the spot, I follow his eyes and look, he is staring at his car. My heart drops, I would usually think it was a good thing that she is on the pack lands, but right now that is the worst possible scenario

"She is still here?"

I link the entire pack no one has seen her. I shift into my wolf, four large paws hit the ground, I may be an Alpha but I've had a lot of experience in tracking as well, honing those skills is actually a bit of a hobby of mine. I like spending my alone time in natural form and that that happens to be one of my favourite activities.

'Where did you leave her?'

I could just find it myself, but I know it will be a lot quicker if he just tells me the starting point. He points to a patch of grass, I hurriedly run over and pick up her scent. I can smell him but I can smell her, her soft jasmine mate scent still lingers in the air. My nose is good and it is even more finely tuned to her scent.

I can't help but let out a growl and the smell of their scents intertwined, now is not the time so jealousy, I can throw a tantrum once she is safe.

I follow her scent, she must have followed Sebastian, the scent stops near a tree I look over at the view from the tree, see what she would have seen, from this vantage point I can clearly see where Sebastian and I were fighting.

The scent is quite strong here, I don't know how long she actually stayed here watching, but I can assume it is a relatively significant amount of time due to the accumulated amount of scent, she knows, she must know about us.

There is no time to worry about what she knows and what she doesn’t know. I follow her scent again, it heads straight toward the tree line, I pause as I see Sebastian’s keys and her phone ditched on the ground, I curse, no wonder she didn’t answer the phone, completely ruling out the easy way of getting in contact, they are deposited just before her scent enters the thick cover of trees.

'Sebastian with me now'

He runs after me still in his human form, if nothing is wrong we can't just go both barging through as wolves. If we come across her she would have a heart attack. I don't wait for him, I can run a lot faster than his human form and since time is of the essence, I will just wait for him when I find her, just keep an eye on her and protect her until he arrives.

He can easily follow me so I just run at full speed, breathing her scent, making sure I'm still on the right track. She actually managed to get a fair way.

I suddenly stop and sniff again, I still have her scent but now it's mixed with other scents. FVCK.

Rogues.

The worst possible scenario has come to fruition.

My mind wants to explode but I breathe deep and struggle to keep myself calm, losing myself now helps no one.

'Sebastian they have her'

I stand still taking in all the different scents so that I can track them with more ease. A grey wolf runs up beside me.

'Let's go and get her'
