Silver wolf - Chapter 2



Chapter 2

EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER


 


(SUN CREST PACK)


 


“Beck, where are we going?” Veronica asked, feeling tired already, “We've been walking for hours now, and the full moon festival is about to start.”


 


“We're almost there, it's not really far anymore.” He said, still walking further into the woods.


 


They kept walking for twenty more minutes until he stopped walking and turned to look at her, who was already exhausted, “Is this where…where we are going?” She stuttered.


 


“Well, I don't know.” He responded.


 


“What? What do you mean you don't know? We've been walking for an hour and a half, and you're saying you don't know where we are going?” She said, almost screaming.


 


“ Well, I mean, yes.” He finally answered.


 


“You are really something, so what are we doing here?” Veronica asked him.


 


“ You know I love you, right? And I will always love you.” He began.


 


“ Yes, I do, and I love you too, but that doesn't give enough explanation for us to be out in the woods this late.” She said, looking around.


 


He didn't say anything, but just stared at her with a blank expression. 


 


She raised an eyebrow and looked at him, “Something about you seems off today,” She said, breaking the silence they were in.


 


“ I'm breaking the mate bond between us tonight,” He said, leaning on a tree with his arms folded across his chest, surprising her.


 


“ What do you mean? Is this a joke? If it is, please stop, because it's freaking me out,” She said, searching his face for any giveaway that he was joking, or maybe he was trying to get a reaction out of her?


 


His face was devoid of emotions, and her smile disappeared as she realized he wasn't joking.


 


“ Using the power of the sky and forest as my witness, I Beck Goodman hereby break the bond with you, Veronica Silver.” He declared.


 


“ What are you doing, Beck? You're going to be Alpha in three days, and I thought I was going to be the female Alpha and your wife.” She said, her voice shaking.


 


“Say that you accept the rejection,” He said, ignoring her question.


 


“ Why?" She asked, close to tears.


 


He answered her with a growl, his eyes changing from the familiar green to a darker shade.


 


“ Veronica, say that you accept the rejection,” Beck growled again, his voice sounding icy.


 


His words were like daggers that pierced through her heart. As far as she could recall, everything was fine between them, so why did he suddenly want to break the bond?


 


“ Beck…” She managed to call out, her heart clutching with pain from his rejection, making it hard for her to breathe or talk.


 


“ You are nothing but a weak omega, and I can't be with a weak omega who can't even defeat the weakest wolf of our pack, as the Luna of this pack.” His words picked at her weak spot, her biggest insecurity.


 


“ Why? I don't understand,” Veronica struggled to say.


 


“ You don't, or won't? Just accept the rejection and let's leave it like that.” He yelled at her.


 


“ But it's been three years, three whole years, I know it's because I'm an omega that's why you're saying this, if I wasn't an omega you…” She said but he cut her off before she could finish her statement.


 


“ I would do the same thing, as long as you are weak, I would do the same thing.” He said, with no remorse.


 


It broke her heart hearing what he said,'' Beck please, don't do this,” She pleaded with him, hoping he would change his mind.


 


“I can't let a relationship of three years go down the drain like this, please.” She begged but he turned dead ears to her plea.


 


“ Veronica, don't you get it? I risked dating you for three years, no one wants you as their Luna!” He thundered.


 


“ It's because I'm an omega, right?” She asked, amidst sobs but he didn't say anything for a while.


 


“ Just accept the rejection, and let's get this thing over with.” He finally spoke.


 


She tried to talk, but Beck grabbed her by the neck, slamming her back hard on the nearest tree, leaving her shocked because she had never seen that side of him before and this was something he had never done to her.


 


“ You have risked so many wolves’ lives trying to save you whenever you were in danger, you can't even save yourself. Put yourself in my shoes, would you pick you as your Luna?” He asked, as he shook her, still with his hand in her neck.


 


“ I would only say this one more time, Veronica, accept the rejection, I'm done being your mate.” He said.


 


Veronica's eyes got blurry from the extra tears that were building up. Staring into his eyes that were filled with scorn and irritation while his hands held her up, she gave in to his wishes.


 


“ Beck, please,” She tried pleading with him one more time, but his hold on her neck got tighter.


 


“ I… Veronica Green accepts your rejection, with the Moon goddess as our witness. As of today, the mate bond between us is broken.” She finally said.


 


Right after she said that, Beck's hold on her neck loosened, and she fell to the floor, gasping for air, while he fell backward, clutching his chest and groaning miserably from whatever pain the bond breaking was causing.


 


“ Good for him,” Veronica said in her head.


 


If it wasn't for the fact that he was the future Alpha of this pack and how much she still loved him, she would have wished that he died of the pain the mate bond was causing him. The pain he caused for both of them.


 


Veronica didn't even know where exactly her pain was coming from. She struggled to stand up, but her knees failed her, and she fell back to the ground.


 


Tears she had been struggling to hide for Beck burst out as she struggled to get back on her feet once again, ignoring the pain she was feeling in her knees.


 


More than anything, she wanted to be away from Beck at that moment and so, she wobbly held on to a tree until she was balanced on her feet.


 


Earlier, Beck and Veronica had walked into the woods, which was far from her house and the pack house. She silently cursed him for making them walk that long distance just for him to reject her as his mate, right after saying how much he loved her.


 


“ What a jerk!” She said, not minding If he heard her, and left him in pain.


 


She looked up to the sky and the full moon was already peeking out beneath the night sky. It had everyone upbeat to celebrate the first full moon they were having in months.


 


No one noticed as she trudged ahead and finally arrived at the front of her home. Seeing that she had finally arrived home, she heaved a sigh of relief.








Chapter 3



Veronica didn't know what to call the emotions she was feeling towards Beck at that moment. She was mad at him, she was sad about the things he said to her. She also wanted to go and help him with the pain, but at the same time, she just wanted him to suffer more pain than she was feeling.


 


Instead of using the front door, she went through the back door because of the other omegas that hadn't left for the Moon festival and Kiera. 


 


“If they saw me like this, they would make me explain what had happened.” She thought to herself as she sneaked in through the back door.


 


She thought about it for a while and decided to go back into the woods. The pain of the mate bond was killing her, so she couldn't think well. She didn't want anyone to see her like that, so she ran into the nearest woods.


 


Not thinking straight, she kept running in whatever direction her legs took her. She didn't know for how long she was running until she came to a stop after hearing a growl coming from the woods.


 


At first, she thought it was just her stomach grumbling or something else until she heard it again.


 


“ Who's there?” She asked, scanning the woods with her eyes.


 


A rough-looking wolf with dark brown fur and brown eyes came into sight. “ What is a rogue wolf doing here?” She asked no one in particular.


 


Then another one with gray fur and dark eyes came out from the shadows with two more.


 


Then it occurred to her that she had gone into the part of the woods that was off limits. She saw the signs, but they weren't clear, “Fu*k! Is this how I am going to die here? No, I won't die here, not now and not by these rogue wolves,” She said to herself, with fear and determination.


 


She was about to turn around and run back to where she was coming from when the brown one charged at her. She immediately lowered her body, and it flew over her.


 


She tried to stand up immediately, but the pain from the broken mate bond held her down. “ Curse you, Beck,” She said with tears fighting to come out.


 


The one with gray fur and the two that were behind it came at her. She tried transforming into her wolf form, but she couldn't because of the rejection. She took cover in the nearest tree, which was an oak tree and climbed it.


 


“ What can I do? I'm surrounded by these ugly-looking things, and to top that, I can't transform into my wolf form. Geez! Moon goddess, please help me, what can I do?” She said, looking up at the clouds.


 


It was like the Moon goddess heard her silent prayers, because right at that moment, the cloud that was covering the full moon parted ways and the full moon began to shine on her.


 


She could feel her wolf receiving strength and clawing at her, trying to come out. She could still feel the pain of the rejection, but it was bearable. 


 


“ Time to dance, boys,” She said, looking down at the rogue wolves with a smirk on her face.


 


She jumped some metres away from the tree and landed in her wolf form. The brown, and gray colored wolves came after her with their fur bristling and growls rumbling from deep within their chests. The barks and snarls of the other attackers reverberated through the dense undergrowth, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the forest.


 


Their eyes gleamed with primal fury as they lunged, their teeth and claws slashing through the moonlight shadows. Even though Veronica was outmatched in size, she fought with a fierce resolve, using the speed and agility the moon gave her to dodge their vicious attacks.


 


She was a bit surprised at why the other wolves didn't come after her. As she tried going to them, they ran backwards as if sensing something in her. Likewise, she turned her attention back to the two wolves, who looked like they weren't ready to give up.


 


The relentless pursuit of the rogue wolves finally turned in favour of Veronica and with a burst of desperate strength and cunning strategy, she managed to overcome the larger wolves, swiftly turning the tables on her attackers.


 


The tables turned, and her determination and refusal to surrender to fear, fueled a newfound ferocity. With swift, agile movements, she lunged and nipped at the flanks of the larger wolves, surprising them with her tenacity and bravery. The intense chase continued through the twisting, shadowed paths of the woods, with Veronica refusing to yield ground for her survival.


 


Driven by survival instincts and a fierce will for her survival, she rebounded and boldly faced the rogue wolves. The once-aggressive wolves found themselves overcomed and annoyed by her. She was now empowered by a wave of intractable courage. With a definitive, thundering howl that echoed through the forest, she boldly chased the rogue wolves, leaving them to retreat in disarray and defeat.


 


She transformed back to her human form, and it felt like the pain of the rejection became worse. She managed to get to where her clothes were, but they were torn.


 


“What am I going to wear?” She asked out loud as she searched through whatever was left of her once-called clothes.


 


Everywhere was freezing and foggy. She managed to look up and saw the leather jacket she wore earlier hanging on the tree which she hid on, before jumping down.


 


“ Oh, thanks to the Moon goddess for this,” She said as she tried climbing the oak tree but fell on her butt almost halfway through.


 


She tried to climb a few more times, but it was the same. “How did I get up there in the first place? It's so freaking high.” She said, kicking the air.


 


She got up from the floor, to clean herself, and shivered from the unwanted wave of air that passed through her. 


 


She jumped up with full force and got hold of one of the branches and thankfully, she managed to climb to the top where her jacket was. She got hold of it, "thank goodness that it's not torn too,” She said and wore it.


 


Thankfully the jacket got down to her thighs, covering it. “ How long have I been out here? I need to get home before Keira notices that I'm not home or at the festival and starts getting worried.” She said, realizing she had stayed out too long.


 


“ But speaking of going home, I can't remember the way back home. Damn! I think I'm lost." She said, as her eyes scanned through the woods, hoping to find a familiar path or something that could give her a hint of where she was to go.


 


Suddenly, she began to feel her head ache and at the same time, she felt dizzy, her vision became blurry and in just a few seconds, she fell and blacked out.
