The Unwanted Luna

Amelia

I stood at my bedroom window watching as Xavier emerged from the woods after what seemed to be a run.

He walked as if he had no care in the world and he was completely naked, all the splendor that is his carved male body on display for all to see.

This was a few hours after I had left his office with the kids.

Being with the kids had distracted my mind but now that I was alone I couldn't help but think about what happened.

I knew that Xavier and Bianca were most likely happily mated by now given all the trouble they went through to get me out of the picture so I didn't understand what had gotten into him.

He was my sister's mate and despite how I despised her I wouldn't go near him, there was also the fact that I hated him to the core, so why the hell did my body respond to him?

And how the hell had I forgotten the fact that just a few minutes before he grabbed and hauled me to his office, another man had been in me?

Something wasn't adding up because Xavier and I were completely done, I had made sure of that seven years ago.

"That may be the case, but I don't think we are done" Onyx said lazily.

She can be so quiet sometimes that I forget I have another entity sharing a body with me.

"What do you mean we are not done with them?" I ask her, referring to both Xavier and Ace. I haven't felt the bond in years so it had to be dead right?

"Exactly that, I don't think you dying had the desired effect of completely destroying the bond" she tells me sarcastically which makes me wish I could smack.

Don't get me wrong, I do love Onyx but when she decides to, she can be a handful and she usually knows which buttons to push to annoy me.

"Can you please just get to the point Onyx" I tell already feeling a bit irritated and not only at her but the entire situation.

The last thing I needed was something else to distract from focusing on a way to save Tristan and killing Agron.

My life was already pretty filled up with things to worry about without adding more to the pile of things I was supposed to deal with.

"Well, when Xavier had you in the office I felt a glimmer of the bond, it was weak and dull, and it wasn't buzzing with energy as before but it was there none the less, trying to push through" she says then continued.

"You are being serious right now? but that's impossible" there was this part of me that was afraid of what it would mean if the bond hadn't been severed. This book has many missing chapters and scenes if you're not reading it on [J] o bn lb. c [o] m ."Yes, as much as I like getting on your nerves, I wouldn't lie to you or joke about something this serious" I could tell that she was being honest and that it wasn't one of her jokes.

I sigh then started to pace around the room because I didn't need to deal with this right now.

I already had too much on my plate without having to be bothered with a mate bond that just refuses to remain dead.

I needed answers and there was only one person or should I say deity that could give it to me. Selene had a lot of explaining to do.

I leave my room but before going downstairs I check on Tristan and Frey, they had been too tired after our play date and had immediately taken a nap in Tristan's bedroom.

I find Xavier's mum with a book babysitting but I don't pay her much attention. After checking that they are both okay, I leave without saying a word to Emma.

Today wasn't my lucky day because I bumped into Bianca just as I was walking towards the stairs.

I truly did not need to be in any close proximity to her.

Looking at her now, my hatred for her resurfaced, before I used to hold on to hope that we would get back to how things were, that she would finally forgive me and love me again, but those dreams died when I ascended.

Now I have no ounce of love for her and she is like a stranger to me. The only family I have are Tristan, Sophie, Freya, Selene and Nolan and if I am being honest they are all I need.

No need to surround yourself with too many people, people who would turn against you without batting an eyelash.

"Amelia, can we talk" she says while grabbing my hand just as I was about to bypass her.

I shake her hand away and move to go past her but she blocks my path.

"Get out of my way" I grit out through a clenched jaw.

She was starting to piss me off and I was already on edge and if she didn't move I would end up doing something that we would regret.

The last thing I wanted was trying to save a pathetic pack after I somehow accidentally killed their precious luna.

"Please"

"There is nothing you can say that I would be interested in or wanted to hear Bianca, so just step aside before I really hurt you!" snapping at her I try to move past her again but she just blocks me.

"We are sisters, remember that, I beg you" tears running down her face would have moved me in the past but not anymore.

"Sister? Sisters!?...were you my sister when the pack turned on me hmm? Were you my sister when you refused to believe me that I wouldn't kill our parents? Were you my sister when you left me in this god forsaken pack to be tortured and humiliated? Or when you didn't contact me for ten years, or when you told me you were enjoying my suffering and finally when you took my mate and threatened to take my child...tell me! Were you my sister then?" I was shouting at this time and I didn't care who heard me before I continued.

"You don't have any fucking idea what it means being a sister, so don't come to me with that nonsense...you are dead to me Bianca Solace and you have been dead to me for a long time so the next time you decide to come to me with that type of bullshit I will end you" I snarled her. "That's enough Amelia! Leave her alone" I heard a deep voice say and when I looked up I found not only Xavier but some other people too, including Emma, Sophie and Jayden.

Bianca was now sobbing, heavy heaves racking her body, but I didn't care, like I said I no longer considered her family.

"Gladly...keep your fucking mate on a leash and away from me or I won't be responsible for what I will do to her if she doesn't. You once told me to stay away from her, remember? Not to be in the same vicinity as her, well today I am demanding the same damn thing" Without sparing them a second thought and filled with so much furry that I felt like I would explode, I teleported to Selene's castle.

I appeared in her formal living room and started pacing, rage emanating from every pore of my body. I hated that even after all these years they could still manage to arouse any type of emotion from me.

"What is the matter, why are you so angry?" Selene asks me, her voice still as sweet and gentle as always which rubbed me wrong for some reason.

I wanted to punch something, punch someone.

"Why the hell is Onyx telling me she is beginning to sense the mate bond between Xavier and I? I thought I got rid of that thing for good" I asked her deciding to go straight to the point

Smiling I knew she was about to say something cheeky or funny but as if sensing that I wasn't really in the mood she decided to tell me the truth instead.

"There was always a chance that it would resurface Amelia, I made the bond between you two strong and special so I am not surprised that it's starting to emerge now that you are in close proximity to each other" she tells me casually as she takes a seat as if she hadn't just uprooted my whole damn world.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Fucking shit Selene, what the hell?" I shouted at her but she wasn't even moved.

"Language Amelia, you know I hate it when you swear"

"To hell with that, right now I don't care what you hate or don't hate I only care about the stupid bond... why the hell would you design such a bond in the first place?" I asked her, my anger still refusing to cool down.

"Because the fates personally asked me too. I don't know why but the fates don't really get involved with these type of things but when you were born they told me to form a special bond between you too, different and stronger than the others and we all know no one goes against the fates and no one says no to them, not even a goddess" she tells me gently.

"Break it, right now" I hissed, beyond the point of reason.

"Not even I can break the bond Amelia, I may have created it but I don't have the power to break it. It was blessed by the fates and only they have the power to destroy it"

"Then where can I find them, we need to have words" I say, cracking my knuckles ready for a fight.

I don't care if they were the fucking fates, I wanted that bond broken and that was exactly what was going to happen.

"I don't know the reason behind their desire to have a special bond between you two, but they did have a reason and the fates always know what they are doing" she says before pausing then continuing.

"Besides, none of the deities know where the fates are or how to find them...if they have need for someone then they find you...they know everything and they see everything"

I continued pacing because it seemed that I was stuck with the damn thing. I turn to look at Selene but she doesn't seem to be unfazed by what was happening, instead she seemed to find this whole thing amusing which makes me want to bitch slap her.

"I just can't accept that there is no way of destroying it for good"

"But dear Amelia, there isn't unless you have a way of finding the fates" she tells me and her answer just annoys me even more.

Why the hell did the fates feel the need to create such a bond in the first place? Especially if they usually don't get involved in such matters.

I wanted to know the reason behind their reasoning but how can I when no one even knows where they are.

I stared at Selene for a while before I decided to leave. I needed to get rid of the negative energy that was sure to swallow me if I didn't get rid of it.

It has always been hard trying to control and reign in my dark side and I could already feel it showing it's ugly head.

I needed to kill, I needed the taste of blood and I needed chaos even if it was just for a while. I needed to hunt.
