Iris's POV:
I can feel every inch of my skin burning. My eyes are feeling heavy. Priston carried me in his arms and started running. I hold onto Priston as my life depends on him. We reached an open area, close to woods. He laid me down and started staring at me.
My body is hurting. I feel like dying. I can see the claws coming out from my fingertips, tearing my skin apart. It hurts. I looked at him with tears that pooled my eyes.
"Priston" I whimpered in pain.
It felt like my ribcage would explode out into pieces. The pain is unbearable. I feel like I was being torn apart. I closed my eyes wanting the pain to go away.
I heard my bones snapping and they adjusted themselves to fit my wolf form. When I opened my eyes I found myself standing on four paws and there's Priston hugging me.
Priston's POV:
I saw my mate being vulnerable in front of my own eyes. I felt her hurt. I feel like crying. Being an Omega her first shift will be tough. Low-rank wolves suffer more during their first shift. Mates are supposed to help during the first shifts and calm the wolf down.
I ran toward Iris and hugged her.
I saw her shifting finally. When she shifted, I took two steps back to take a look at her wolf.
Brown furred wolf, Brown like chocolate, and her scent is of vanilla, blue eyes, and weak wolf.
I can feel Percy going all crazy in my head, wanting me to let him out. He wants to be with his mate. I thought of letting him out because this will be his first and last time meeting his mate. I didn't want to take away this chance from him.
Little does he know that I'm gonna reject our mate. A mate is supposed to be the one who makes you strong, who makes the pack strong, but the irony is my mate herself is weak. She can't be a luna. The one who can't even protect herself, how can I keep the future of my pack in her hands. I don't know why the moon goddess chose her to me. Maybe some bonds are bound to be broken.
I know this is going to hurt, hurt like hell but as an Alpha, this is for the future of my pack. I didn't let my wolf hear my thoughts.
She stood on her paws. I remove my shirt and shorts and shifted into my wolf. In front of my wolf, her wolf looks petite.
Percy howled in aww. I am watching everything through his eyes. Adorable? Seriously? Dude, I can see her bones.
"My mate" he growled.
Iris's POV:
I tried not to fall in this form. My legs feel all wobbly. Priston changed into his full form. This is my first time seeing his wolf. I never got a chance to look at his wolf. I watched everything being in the back of my head.
"Mate" she let out a little growl in excitement.
Priston's wolf came near my wolf and started licking the face. I can feel my wolf's joy.
"I'm Anna" she introduced herself.
"I'm Percy, your mate," he said.
Hearing "my mate" feels so good.
Percy kept his head in the Crook of anna And started licking the sweet spot while howling in joy. I sniffed his scent, it's chocolate and cinnamon.
Percy rubbed his fur on mine. We looked at each other. I saw my wolf's reflection in his eyes. I feel like a petite in front of his wolf.
This feels like the best moment of my life. I wish for the time to freeze.
"You look beautiful," he said.
I don't know about my wolf but I did blush at his words.
I saw him shifting back to the human form. Hurt was written all over his face.
"Shift" Priston said.
I just stood there not knowing how to shift.
"Shift" he roared in his alpha tone. That made Anna obey his orders and I fall to the ground naked.
I covered my bare skin with my hands being self-conscious. Priston threw his shirt at me and Turned to another side. I wore his shirt and called him.
Priston turns around. He scanned my whole body which made me blush.
"Priston" I called out his name. I can feel his scent all in the air.
"It's Alpha Priston for you," he said in a loud voice.
I am confused. why? I am his mate, I got that freedom. I am feeling a bit of uneasiness in my gut aside from My sore body, something is not well. Something is going to happen, which is going to hurt badly.
I held my hand out to him to hold his, he took few steps back.
"You are not supposed to be my mate. It is a mistake" he said and that broke me.
"I am a mistake?"I looked at him.
"Yes, and I will correct it," he said, and then came the words like daggers that pierced into my heart.
"I Priston blue, in the presence of moon goddess, doesn't consider you Iris Carter as my mate"
Those words shattered me into pieces. My mate rejected me. I heard the painful words a werewolf doesn't want to hear.
A lump formed in my throat and my voice didn't come out. I looked at him with pleading eyes "why?"
I can feel Anna whimpers. She is not ok with it. I tried calling her but she didn't respond.
"You aren't enough to be my mate, to be a luna. I am sorry but not sorry for doing this." he avoided my gaze
"let's go" he added.
I followed him.
The journey was filled with silence. We reached our pack. I looked at Priston before getting down.
He pulled me in his arms and placed his head in my crook. Sniffed my scent. I felt sparks on my neck wherever his breath touched my skin. He pulled away and sighed.
"I am sorry," he said. I looked at him with a daze"don't say anything about this to anyone, anything about me being your mate. Let's be this a secret" he said
"Do you realize that every word you speak is hurting me?"I asked with my eyes full of tears.
"Rejection is done by both of the Wolves and me as your mate I will never reject you. Moon goddess chose you for me and I will obey her."I said.
"I hope there won't be a day where I reject you. I don't want to cause you the pain" I finished.
Priston just stared at me.
Those beautiful green eyes. I know if I lost in them I can't find my way back.
"Is this the end?"I asked.
"There was not any beginning to start with," he said and I got down the car.
As Every step I am moving away from him is breaking me.
"I don't hate you, "I said.
I got into my house. I don't want my mother to see me in this state. I opened the door of my house and found my mother and Eva on the couch with a worried face.
Grant me as soon as she saw me and pull me in a hug."Are you alright sweety? I got worried about you" she tightens the grip around me.
I pulled away and smiled "I am fine mum" I replied.
Eva hugged me "I am sorry," she said.
"Why?"I asked.
"It's because of me we went to the human land" she replied.
"I am fine and I am glad" I smiled.
"Who got you here?"Eva asked.
"Alpha Priston" I replied.
I can hear Low whimpers of my wolf by hearing his name.
"I should thank him, "my mother said.
"What about your shifting?"Eva asked excitedly.
I smiled wide. The only thing I am happy about today is my shift.
"I did shift, her name is Anna, "I said.
"Woahh, finally. Congratulations"Eva squealed.
"Can I see her?" she asked.
Ana is low, she doesn't want to meet anyone except her mate.
"She is tired, you know first shift and all, "I said.
"Yeah, I can understand"Eva smiled. My mother broke down into tears. I ran towards her "mum, why are you crying?"I asked worriedly.
"These are happy tears, Iris. I am proud of you and maybe your dad is feeling happy in heaven" she smiled.
"Why mom? all of a sudden, "I asked being confused.
"There is something you should know" she stated. I and Eva glanced a look at each other. I kept all my pain and worries aside and concentrated on my mother.
"I am not like you, I am a human," she said. I and Eva gasped at her words.
Mum is a human and I never knew, I never asked her to shift. I thought she didn't want to shift because her mate died.
"Your dad is a werewolf and one day he found me as his mate. Alpha George was okay about me being human and welcomed me into this pack. During the rogue attack" she closed her eyes for a moment, maybe not wanting to think about that day."Your dad was taken to the hospital and I know what was coming. I said him that I will take you back to the human land and will raise you like one, but your dad was against that idea. He wanted his offspring to stick to his roots. That is why we ended up here" she finished.
It is a big thing and I never knew, but I'm still confused about why is mom saying all this to me now?
"I thought you will never shift due to your human genes, but today you made it. You had your first shift and I am proud of you." she kissed my temple. That made me cry.
"You aren't weak sweetie, you are strong. Strong enough to shift and that's not an easy job" she ruffled my hair.
Soon Eva left and I went to bed. I cried all night cause it's hurting in my heart, in my head, every inch of my being is hurting. I heard a loud howl, my wolf got alert and felt the pain of her mate.
Priston's POV:
The pain is unbelievable. My wolf is not happy about what I did. He blocked me. He wanted to come out and take control. I let him out and went for a run. He reached to the lakeside and let his pain out by howling. Today my wolf lost his mate just because of me.
But I'm doing this for the pack's own good.AS an alpha of this Blue Moon Pack.
