His Snow Princess

No More Lies

~Aneria's POV~

Was this the day for which I was desperately waiting for years?

No!!! Hell no!

I was waiting for my mate to appear in my life right after I shifted into my wolf on my sixteenth birthday, only to get rejected after my eighteenth birthday?

This is not how I dreamed up my first meeting with my mate.

I wish I had listened to my parents and never gone there. But no, this obstinate side of mine wants to get involved in anything and everything.

The uneasiness settled inside me as soon as I got close to the red river pack. All of sudden, the environment, surroundings, people, air...I began to find everything intriguing.

My legs moved on their own as if they knew where he was and his scent...his scent was lingering all over in his place. The scent with which I fell in love the moment I stepped inside the packhouse. That pleasant aromatic aquatic scent of the ocean matches perfectly with my waves of the ocean.

I lost all my senses the moment my eyes landed on him. People standing in his office didn't matter to me at that moment. What mattered to me was... Just him and I...

I couldn't put my mind to my family's questions, it was his eyes that were forcing me to look at him only until his harsh yet pleasing voice busted all the happy bubbles forming inside me. He doesn't want me...he doesn't want to see me... ever. Unless it's a matter of life and death. My mate...he rejected me.

Once again tears started blurring my vision as the never-ending rejection pain came back to the living with the thought of him telling me to stay away from him. He didn't talk to me but the way he said everything while looking at me made it crystal clear that he doesn't want anything to do with me.

Then why the f**k does it affect me so much?

If this stupid enmity is more important for him than our bond then why the heck should I consider this relationship which is not even established yet?

It was HIS FATHER who tried to hurt MY MOTHER, not my father harming his mother. Why am I even considering this relationship in the first place?

He should be left alone. Alone for what he thinks. Alone for what he is choosing.

"You still can't bring yourself to hate him?" Reva whispered.

Hate him? How can I hate someone who was a kid when everything took place? Who didn't know what was happening in his pack or what his father was up to?

Alec didn't do any harm to the blood moon pack or my parents, so how can I bring myself to hate him?

I can't...

I never can...

"Love him already?" Reva whimpered.

"I DON'T!" I growled with all the energy left in me.

How dare she think that I can love someone who rejected me even without having a word with me? Without knowing me, without trying to clear our differences. I can never love someone with a heart made of stone.

"Then why you've created havoc in this place? Look around you Aneria. Look at what mess you are sitting in right now." She said.

If Reva wasn't in my head, I'm sure I wouldn't be hearing her right now. I'm in no state of talking to anyone but my stubborn wolf is just not ready to leave me alone for a while.

I did as she said and I can say that I'm not surprised or shocked by myself. It is who I am. It is what I do when I find myself in a situation like this. A mess.

Snow was everywhere in the room, on the ceiling, walls, mirror, furniture, and picture frames. Water was floating everywhere in the room with my belongings in it.

I'm glad that I froze the lock of the door after entering the room and chose my secret space to let my pain out. I don't want my family to know about this. Things are already messed up between Blacks and Cohens and if this comes out, no one will be able to stop the leftover relations of Blacks and Cohens from getting destructed.

With a suspicion raising in my mind and not minding the temperature of the room and the coldness of the bed, I fell onto the bed and called Reva, "Why do I feel like you are hiding something? There is something that you are aware of but I'm not. What is it, Reva?"

"Nothing..." She lied.

"I know when you lie just like you know about my lies. Tell me why I don't remember anything that happened on my eighteenth birthday after my transformation. I'm sure you have a pretty good story to tell."

Sometimes I thought she was jumping on my questions and ignoring everything on purpose but never bothered to push her once as I never suspected her. I trusted her words. But today...she makes me doubt my trust in her.

"I already-"

"No more lies, Reva!"

Her silence confirmed my suspicion, something did happen that night that she was trying to hide from me and till now, she has successfully hidden everything from me.

I bitterly chuckled, wolves and their abilities. If I wasn't going through a transformation that night, she wouldn't be so dominant. Along with the transformation influence, it was a full moon as well and there was no way I can escape the powerful energies of the moon.

"You blocked my senses. You stopped me from seeing or remembering anything. And you are still tampering with my mind." I stated.

"I'm sorry Ann...but I have to. I've always seen a strong and fierce Aneria; I didn't have the courage to see a shattered Aneria. Forgive me please."

Reva's wails made me cry. How can I think my wolf is betraying me? All the while she was trying to protect my heart from breaking. This mate thing is driving me insane.

I shook my head, "I guess both of us are at fault at some point. You shouldn't have hidden something from me for so long and I shouldn't have accused you of protecting me. We are even like always. But please tell me what happened that night. I want to know."

She took a long pause and then heavily sighed, "I saw him that night."

"Saw whom?"

Her voice broke down and my heart shattered into million pieces, I never saw Reva crying but only one guy managed to make the princess of werewolf cry, both Reva and I.

She sobbed, "I saw mate."

"And?"

"He doesn't want us Ann... He was running away."
