Ruined(Eternal Monarch)

~JUNO’S POV~

“Can you tell me what that was?”

Our mate

“Please, no more forcing me to kiss males! Put an end to it! You assured me that Alex was my mate. You are the absolute worst. You are the reason I am enduring all of this. Why did you not warn me that Alex was not my mate? You’re now returning and compelling me to kiss him? You shone at Alex when I met him. You’re doing the exact same thing with him. Why are you unable to leave me alone?”

Juno, I’m afraid I can’t.

“What exactly do you mean by “can’t”? You fled from me at a time when I needed you the most. You abandoned me. Then leave right now!”

Juno, I can’t leave now. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t leave you. Even though I was still with you, the pain I was experiencing made it impossible for me to speak with you properly.

“Why is it that every time you appear, you coerce me into doing stupid things? Our son died. You were not present at all. You left me to deal with everything on my own. You are the utmost worst!”

Juno, I was right there with you through it all. I attempted to talk but was unable to. When you wept, I wept beside you. Alex’s predicament perplexes me as much as it perplexes you. I was under the impression that Alex was our mate. When he didn’t know why I couldn’t shift, I thought something was wrong. I want to inform you that something was wrong, but we were constantly in pain. I couldn’t bear telling you Alex was not our true mate. When he coerced us into shifting, I realized Alex wasn’t our mate. Our mate will be the only one who will understand why we haven’t shifted. Additionally, only Rex is capable of assisting us with shifting. Juno, we are more than just wolves. We are a critically endangered species. A distinct breed, similar to our mate, yet our mate is stronger.

“Please stop referring to him as our mate. He is not a mate for me. He is your consort. I’m not looking for a mate. I’ve had my fill of this mate babble.”

Juno, you cannot reject Rex. Even if you attempt it, it will fail. His breed, unlike Alex’s, cannot be rejected. Rex is a wolf, but only when he feels the same way towards your rejection. Will it work, although, in the end, you will still find your way back to each other? Rex genuinely cares about us. Juno, you can rest assured that he will never hurt us. Rex would prefer to die than hurt us. To him, we are everything. In order to prevent us from being scared, he had to leave as soon as he realized he needed to shift. He is trying Juno. Please give it a shot.

“Definitely not!” When it comes to men, they’re all the same.”

Rex is our protector, and we can put our faith in him. I know that what happened with Alex was the most heinous experience.

“Keep your mouth shut! And get lost.”

How is it possible for a man to transform into something with wings and also have claws? She wishes for me to have faith in him. He is a man, and males are inherently evil. To be honest, the most I can offer is to be a friend rather than a mate. I’m not looking for a mate. Yes, he is nice to me, but I don’t want to be in love with him.

“My love, are you okay?”

He’s at it again, referring to me like that. My mouth opened to speak, but nothing came out. What the fuck is going on? I recently spoke. I tried to say something, but nothing came out of my mouth. I flung myself onto the bed, desperately trying to make sense of it all. Instead of crying, I found myself giggling. I smirked as I thought about my miserable existence. I removed my phone and returned to square one. I penned.

“Stop calling me your love. I am not your love. My name is Juno.”

“I thought we discussed this already, babe. You may ask me anything, but never to alter the manner in which I address you.”

“Please do not address me as such!”

“Can you tell me what I should call you, darling?”

“Stop it!”

“I will always refer to you as my love, sweetheart, my queen, my universe, and babe, and every other name I see fit, my love. Name it, you are all that to me. More than that.”

“I’m not interested in you. If you want me to love you, I am incapable of doing so. You’re squandering your time! I do not love you and will never love you, so please stop addressing me as such!”

I could see he was hurting. In the blink of an eye, his mood transformed, and he walked towards me and hugged me tightly. What is the matter with this man? Why is this man unfathomable? I felt myself embracing him in return. What is the matter with me? Why am I compelled to perform tasks I despise? This time, I know that it is not my wolf who is forcing me. Why am I incapable of resisting his embrace?

“I’m sorry, my love; I care about you so much that any cruel words you say to me are not taken seriously. My love, I am sorry. Athena, you are mine and mine alone. I don’t care if you don’t want me right now, but one thing I guarantee you. Until you want me back, I’ll wait patiently. Even if it takes 100 years, I will wait for you. I guarantee you that I will never do anything for you. I will not compel you to do anything. I am aware that you do not love me, but that is your choice. As you can see, Reina, I breathe and live for you. You are the reason for my existence. You are the focal point of my existence. It is acceptable if you do not love me. However, I love you so deeply that I will disregard all your terrible comments and will not leave you, knowing full well that you are broken. I am capable of obtaining the truth from you without your knowledge, but I want you to inform me. I respect your privacy and believe that you will inform me when you are ready. I will love you regardless of whether you love me back.”

Is it possible for me to ever push him away? Why do I feel helpless in the company of this man? I despise the way I feel. I raised my eyes to him, and he raised his eyes to mine. He kissed my brow, but I prayed he would reach for my lips. I’m beginning to believe that I’m insane. He swept my hair back and cupped my face in the palms of his two enormous hands.

“I love you.” He mumbled under his breath.

He dragged me into bed bridal style, kissed my cheeks, and whispered,

“Rest!”

I’m not sure why I felt the sudden desire for him to lie down with me. I found myself pulling him down to lie down next to me. I relaxed with my head on his torso. I’m not sure how he manages to always quiet the storms in my heart. Yesterday, I was quite depressed, and he took everything away from me. Why do I feel as though I’m missing something? Have I previously met Rex? If so, where exactly? He is so familiar with me that I feel as though I have no secrets from him. How did he discover my fondness for turkeys? Who is this man in his true self?

~Alex’s POV~

I traveled to university in my car. I parked my car and waited for my mate. I saw the twins, but not my Luna. I’ve been looking for her for almost five years and I’m not going to give up. I’ll wait until she arrives today. She needs to return to my house, where she belongs. We must lead alongside one another. She is on a par with me. If she refuses to come home with me, I shall compel her to do so. I couldn’t care less whether she had a boyfriend. Wait a minute, boyfriend. Is the boyfriend the person they advised me to avoid? No, I’m not sure why a high-ranking official would visit a school. Unless he’s a wolf trying to impress his mate, hold on a sec, mate? I am her consort. Has she had sexual relations with that man? I swear that if she lets another man who is not me touch her, I will punish her. I have to fucken wait for her to arrive. She is required to accompany me home today. I have pursued her, and that is sufficient.

~Janet’s POV~

Why didn’t that mute girl show up?

I need to meet with the wealthy individual that has been mentioned, as well as consider my options. I absolutely gotta have one of them. I must possess either the wealthy gentleman or Alex.

Why would two attractive men fall head over heels for a mute? I need to speak with the other gentleman and consider my choices. If I could have Alex, I can have the other guy as well, right?

I approached Alex after spotting his car in the parking lot.

“Can you tell me where she is?”

“Alpha, it appears as though she skipped school today. If you don’t want to wait, how about you allow me to call you when she is around?”

“That sounds reasonable; come with me.”

“Alright, alpha.”
