_Damien’s POV_
“I, Alpha Damien Williams. Alpha of the blue moon pack rejects you-” I pause when I realize I didn't even know her name, waiting for her to fill in the silence by saying her name.
“Ariana.” she whispered, her voice barely audible.
“I reject you Ariana as my mate. You shall never be my mate.” I finish up and I felt the mate bond getting broken, it felt like a part of me just got ripped out from where it is supposed to be.
“I accept your reject." She says glaring at me with hatred in her eyes, mine widening with shock as she clutches her chest definitely feeling the same excruciating pain that comes with a broken bond.
“I hate you." She whispers before she runs out of the room with the duvet still wrapped around her.
Leaving me with a broken Alex howling in pain in my head.
_Ariana’s POV_
I don't know how long I stayed in my room, curled up in a ball under the duvet while lying on the floor.
I wouldn't have left my room if not for the manager coming to bang on my door to check if I was dead.
And I needed to get a pregnancy test strip. I can't be sure if I'm actually pregnant until I get the test done. Werewolf babies develop faster than humans so I should be able to check if I am pregnant or not.
“That would be 5.28.” The cashier said handing my bag of groceries to me.
Faking a smile, I take my bag from him after paying, avoiding touching him.
But my plans gets soiled when he holds my fingers instead of letting go of the bag.
“Can I help you?" I ask, trying to calm Snow down in my head. Ever since Damien rejected us she has been agitated, almost attacking humans.
“You're very pretty. I was thinking maybe some time later we could grab a drink or something." He says smiling at him, showing his braces.
I look down at our hands before lifting my eyes up to look at him.
“Let go." I say, my eyes flashing between their normal blue and my wolf's black.
He immediately leaves me, looking taken aback.
“Keep the change." I say walking out.
Taking a deep breath, I stared at the test strip on the bathroom counter with my fingers crossed hoping it would be negative. But I guess I've run out of luck.
I stared at the two lines on the test strip, my lips quivering as tears streamed down my eyes.
What should I do? What should I do?
I hold unto the counter as my legs gives up beneath me, sending me to the floor.
After crying for hours, I went over to Damien's room to see if he was still there. Banging on the door.
After knocking for thirty minutes on his door, a motel staff came to tell me that Damien had left days before.
Alpha of the blue moon pack huh?
I would raise this child on my own without anybody's help.
Two days later and I had my bags packed to leave the city, about to start all over again in another place.
I pray nothing brings me back to this place and the nightmares it brings.
_Three years Later _
“Mama let's go to the park." Dristian, one of my three year old triplets suggested abruptly.
I looked up from where I sat behind the counter in my flower shop, looking at Dristian who was painting with his siblings.
“Mama, we want to go to the park.” Alexia repeats what her brother said, all three of them staring at me with the same look in their giant green orbs.
It's been three years and a couple of months since I left behind everything and started all over again in a town with just humans.
Three years and I never once took my children out to the park because of fear of the unknown.
They always came with me to my flower shop and they played here. Up to me and they would get home schooled too.
I was afraid someone would come and take them away from me. The particular black van that has been parking couple of blocks away from my flower shop for some days now at a particular time didn't help with the paranoia.
“Why do you three want to go to the park suddenly." I ask smiling at them, hoping they don't see through the fake smile I gave. Most times they seem sensitive to my feelings. They might by three but they act like they are way older than that.
At times I don't like that they are werewolves, I want them to act their age.
“Mama doesn't want us to go.” Derek, my oldest triplet said not looking up from his paper, making my heart break with his words.
“Don't be too strict on them, they are just kids. It's only normal they want to go to the park.” Snow tells me and I sigh rubbing my eyes.
“Let me close up in five minutes. Then we can go to the park together.” I tell them and they all smile to each other.
_few hours later _
“Don't run Derek. You'd fall." I yell at my oldest son who was running after a puppy, moving Alexia who was in my arms, from my left hip to the right, I keep my eyes on Derek to make sure he doesn't get hurt.
“D. Mama said not to run." Dristian, my other son yells, running after Derek.
We were currently at the park, and I was tired already from work and having to play with the kids.
I needed a break or something.
“Are you alright Mama?" Alexia asks looking up at me with her giant green orbs, looking so identical to her father.
They all look identical to their father, why couldn't they have my blue eyes? Or my blond hair? Did they all have to inherit their father looks?
“I'm fine. Just tired." I smile at her and she returns my smile, showing her missing tooth.
“Mama. The pup ran away." Derek and Dristian runs back to me, I watch them carefully so they won't fall.
“I'd get you yours soon, I promise." I smile, holding Derek's cheek.
I got judgmental stares from people around, I was twenty two and a single mother of three. It's really not easy.
“Come on let's go home." I hold Derek's hand and he holds his brother, Alexia still on my hip.
“Don't mind them bug, they don't know half of what you've been through." Snow reassures me and I force a smile but I don't reply.
Sure enough everything happened cause I made a mistake, but I won't change my kids for anything in the world.
“Ari, the van we've been seeing is coming. I feel uneasy." Snow tells me while we were half way home and I pause.
My heart beating fast in fear.
