Waited For The Luna
Chapter 32

“8 years I have been in peace, I come back in a few days and I realize that my life is in danger. That dad is in danger, that your pack is in danger. I wish I never came back at all. “

“Don’t say that, baby. I love you. I will do anything to protect you. ” He said as he cupped my cheeks.

“Stop saying that Luka?” I pulled back from his touch.

“That you love me. It’s barely been days since we met again. We both know the mate bond is causing this. Without it, you’d probably not care about me or worst treat me like how you did in high school.” I told him. I may have pulled a nerve since his gaze got dark. But he has to break the mate bond. Their quest needs to be halted. If these rogues are dangerous I wouldn’t want to risk a single person’s life.

“Can you stop bringing the past? Your brain must’ve spent too much time with humans you’re starting to see love their way. We’re werewolves, I’ve sworn to protect you and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.”

“But I don’t want you to. Luka if I wasn’t your mate, you wouldn’t be risking anyone’s life. If I wasn’t your mate you wouldn’t care if I leave. You can only do one thing now Luka. If they’re after me, they might use you to hurt me. I’m not gonna let that happen.”

“Well, you are now Bellamy and there’s nothing you can do about it. Stop forcing me to reject you.” He roared sounding agitated.

“Who’s Maya?” I don’t know why I asked that out of the blue. But I was looking for ways to force him to reject me. I always heard her name. Eric mentioned that if it weren’t for me Maya would’ve still been here.

“Stop bringing the past now!” He yelled.

“Stop yelling at me and tell me who Maya is?” I yelled louder. This was my house so he can eat shit.

He then brushed his hair with his hand and settled in one position, calming his self down. “She was Eric’s girlfriend and we all loved her. She was attacked by rogues when she went out in the woods alone. She tried to contact us, but we were held in detention because you told dad about us bullying a boy in school. When we got to her she was already dead.” He explained.

I didn’t know how to answer. I couldn’t even remember that incident. I don’t even know who Maya was, and yet her death is being blamed on me..

“That day our group held a grudge against you.”

I was in shock. Was it really my fault? Was Maya a victim of my jinx, as Luka is now?

“But I know now Bellamy. It wasn’t your fault at all. Eric and Maya fought that day, that’s why Maya ran off in the woods alone. If we weren’t acting like assholes, we wouldn’t have been detained. We only blamed you to keep our conscience clean.” He calmly told me the story.

“Don’t you realize it, Luka? I’m a jinx. I bring bad luck upon people.”

“Stop bringing up the past Bellamy. That’s over. Her life is not on you, and not all the other wolves’ life. If you want them safe, fine then, I would go after them myself. Just never ask me to reject you because I love you and I need you to calm down and understand me.” He raised his voice one more.

“I completely understand Luka. Fully. I’m not part of your pack. I don’t want to be part of your pack and I don’t need your protection. You have to reject me now, Luka! That’s all I want you to do.” It was the only logical way I can think of. If we cut ties from each other then the rogues won’t go after the pack. My brother Noah won’t be in danger and Luka wouldn’t have to put anyone’s life in danger for me.

“Reject me now or I’ll kill myself. I’ll kill myself in front of you. I’ll break this curse on my own. ” I said gritting my teeth. His eyes widened when I said that.

“Don’t you dare Bellamy!” He then tried to get near but I broke the wine glass on the table.

“Back off, Luka! Or I’ll do it. Just say the words now! F*****g say it Luka or I swear.” That night I had my emotions raging. I was no longer thinking straight. I didn’t even know what would happen if I do this. In those few minutes, I was only thinking of a way to escape the protection that Luka feels for me. I’ve lost all logical reasoning and was again building a wall this time to protect everyone else.

“I Luka White Alpha of the White moon pack…. reject you Bellamy Cross as my mate, at your own request and shall be voided on your own accord.” He said before turning his back and slamming the door.

I smiled for a few minutes. I’m free. It’s over and he’s gone. I then sobbed hard and wailed. HE REJECTED ME. But why does it feel so painful? I bent on my knees crying. “I Bellamy Cross. Accept. Your. Rejection.” I mumbled the words. I thought the weight I was feeling on my shoulders would be lifted but I clenched on my body. It ached all over.

I dropped to the floor. Every part of my body felt like it was burning. My throat was thirsty and my lungs were gasping for air. I could no longer think and closed my eyes shut. My heart was pounding fast like it was trying to come out. My claws then went out and I started scratching my chest digging my heart out from my body. I wanted to stop but my body couldn’t.

I felt a surge of different emotions and I couldn’t think straight. It was all like a nightmare.

“Luka!” I then called out. “Luka! Come back to me. Luka White, I don’t accept your rejection.” I could feel my b***d gushing out on the floor. I stared at the ceiling awaiting my death when I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps rushing towards me. I closed my eyes and all I can see was darkness.
