The fate of the Rejected Alpha

THE BOND BETWEEN MATES

GETS STRONGER

In Selene’s eyes was visible the love and hurt blending together, but even then, she went according to justice, and as much as she loved Lycaon, she would never allow him to continue with that bad behavior that left physical and emotional marks on his mate’s body.

“Pay attention. She’s your mate and without her, you will not survive, as punishment for all the evil that you have done to her,” she looks firmly into his eyes. “I will intensify the bond between you two and all the pain that your mate feels, you will also feel. If she is sad, you will get worse. Your role is to protect her and love her. Her role is to help you, love you and take care of your puppies.”

“If I’m going to feel everything she feels, when she dies will I die too?”

“No, that depends on how you die. But even then, the longing can kill both of you,” Selene says enigmatically.

His eyes widened in surprise. She couldn’t be serious, that could only be a joke. But the goddess was speaking very seriously.

She approached him and placed her hand on his neck; the heat emanating from her hand ran through Lycaon’s entire body making him sigh. He felt a silver light cover the region and his groan of pain did not stop her. When she withdrew her hand, the first letter of his mate’s name appeared on his skin. He was left gasping in pain.

Lycaon knew exactly why he had become a werewolf, he knew that it was his beloved’s twin brother who made him fall into this disgrace. Mahni even made a point of clarifying how one day he would die by the arrow of the woman who stole his heart.

However, Lycaon did not die and at that moment he swore that he would make the best of it.

His mate had eight cubs, four males and four females. He knew that too was the goddess’ doing, that she made them to become mates. But still, the hatred he felt was too much. He was forced to live eternally to love his mate and even though she had been made for him, his heart already belonged to another woman and he had no room for anyone else.

Lycaon raised his cubs and told them several stories. Told them about Mahni and his sister, told them that the goddess of the moon is the one who will raise them.

Lycaon made divisions among his children.

When they reached the age of sixteen, they were set to face each other and the strongest one was elected and would inherit his place when he died. And as he expected, his oldest son was the strongest, earning the title of genuine alpha. The second oldest won the title of alpha, but head only of his family. The third took the title of beta, and the fourth had no brute strength like the others, was thin and weak, did not hunt and refused to kill anyone. He was the youngest son, he was submissive and very sensitive. Lycaon called him an omega.

The moon goddess watched everything from above. She didn’t fully approve of Lycaon’s regime, but she couldn’t keep interfering with his life.

The genuine alpha’s mate carried the traces of the moon goddess in her lupine form. With her white hair and dark blue eyes, she gained the name of genuine lunam and from her womb was generated the strongest lycanthropic of all species. She could only have one cub and was the second in command of all species, her dominance losing only to her mate’s.

The alpha’s mate was called velut luna and from her womb was generated all the lycanthropes of her pack, being able to be alpha, beta or omega. Her fur was white and her paws were black.

The beta’s mate received the title of lunae. With her brown fur with a white stain on the back, she could only carry a child if the alpha dies and her mate takes his place, and so she would have to kill the current velut luna.

And lastly, the omega’s mate was called luna cimex. Her fur was silver, her eyes gray and she was the smallest, almost the size of a common wolf. Her womb was dry. Despite having great beauty, she couldn’t reproduce. Even though the omega couple were the weakest, they should be protected.

The years passed and Lycaon died at the conclusion of his millennium of life. He and his mate died together. His sons made changes to their father’s regime, and the moon goddess was put in the background.

More years passed by, and the moon goddess was forgotten.

Lycanthropes became evil, hunted and ate humans, and this did not please Zeus at all. They made humans slaves, the omegas were servants and the luna cimex became prostitutes. Several packs emerged, but few still remembered the moon goddess.

She couldn’t allow things to continue like that. One night when the genuine couple was mating in their lupine forms, the moon shone brightly and only the voice of the goddess could be heard:

“Get back on the right path, or your bloodline will end.”

But they didn’t listen to her warning and continued on their wrong path. So the goddess was forced to keep her promise, but no one could have known what she was planning besides that.
