Chapter 55

When the world spins…

(Fraction)

I’m drinking way too much. To keep myself away from Anna I have taken to drowning myself in a

whiskey bottle, or four, each night.. Tonight is no different. Anna nearly put me on my as s today with

her Luna Aura, she was nearly as strong as an Alpha. I was so shocked at how powerful it was that I

didn’t even see the hand coming towards my face. I have one pis sed off Luna on my hands and I can’t

say I blame her. I have done everything I can to not be in the same place as Anna.

As an Omega she is more aware of the feelings and emotions of the people around her. If she gets

close enough to read me and realises I have a second mate it will crip ple her. Once I realised Faye

was my mate as well I dived head first into the old musty library of books we have here at the Pack.

After many boring reads I finally found one on Omegas, it didn’t say much but it said enough.

Omegas don’t share, they can’t. It’s physically impossible for them to share their mate, they need a

strong Alpha to help them with the additional emotions and burdens they have. Basically Anna needs

my strength all to herself and if I was to divide that with another female, another Luna? It would make

Anna lose all sense of herself, she would become swamped in the people around her, overcrowded by

the rush of emotions and overwhelmed with the needs of the Pack. I can’t do that to Anna, she is my

Luna and I can not and will not accept another.

Cracking open bottle number five I lean back in my chair and strain my ears to listen to Anna putting

Thomas to bed. I am so focused on the strength of the Alpha and the Princess that Anna is reading to

our son, that I don’t hear the office door open. I don’t realise I am not alone until Faye’s smell

overwhelms every sense I have. Just because I want

to choose Anna doesn’t change my b*dy’s needs each time either one of them are close. It’s almost

hardwired into my b*dy, into any shifter’s b*dy who has found their mates.

“Most people knock before coming in here. Faye.” I say without looking at her. I’m leaning far back in

my chair and I have my eyes closed. I’m willing to ignore my b*dy’s natural desires.

“I haven’t seen you for a while and i thought we should…maybe…well talk?” She starts off sounding so

strong and ends so lamely She’s nothing like Anna, my little wolf is filled with confidence and strength

“We don’t need to talk. You can leave.” I tell her bluntly without looking at her.

“We are mates, so yes we do need to talk.” I splutter on my whiskey as she says this. I sit up in my

chair coughing

‘We aren’t mates. Anna is my mate and Luna.” I tell her plainly, I watch as her face goes from calm and

relaxed to complete rage. She schools her features in a second but I caught it.

“I know we are. I also know you can’t reject me.” I co ck my head to the side, she’s been speaking to

someone to know this.

“How do you know that?” I ask her between my teeth, she’s pis sing me off now and the room is

starting to spin a little.

“Because I’m not a child. We both know I am your fated true mate. I know you love Anna and I will give

you time to let her down gently but I will be taking my place as Luna within this pack.” I am standing

from my chair before she can even finish speaking. I stumble a little but I manage to right myself by

putting my hands on the desk.

“Don’t threaten my family Faye! You will leave this pack and never

come back I banish you from this Pack!” The threat doesn’t do what i expect it too, usually when i have

banished people i feel the snap of the bond. But she’s still there as strong as ever

“See? Didn’t work, did it? It’s because I am your true fated mate and Anna is just the fake Omega who

has wormed her way into the pack.” I slam my hands on the desk which makes her jump.

“Anna is my fated true mate, you are just a twisted mistake the universe sent my way “I see the

moment my words connect in her brain and the rage is back on her face.

“You will see, we are meant to be together. The Omega will turn on you” She screeches before

spinning on the spot and throwing the office door open.

My hope of her leaving without anyone seeing her is dashed when James is standing there with his

hand raised like he was about to know on the door. He quickly jumps out of the way as Faye storms

past him. James seems to stand there for a few minutes looking after the female. he seems to shake

his head and comes into the office. I watch as his pupils blow and his nose twitches. As my Beta he’s

attuned to my emotions in much the same way as Anna is. Maybe even more considering we have

known each other for so long.

“What the hell was that?” James asks, closing the door behind him.

“That was Faye “I say slamming my as s back into the chair. I even sound angry, bringing the whiskey

bottle to my lips. I decide to forgo the glass tonight

“Do I even want to know what is going on with you lately? Ignoring Anna and now you have a pis sed

off female in your office?” I just stare at the wall over his head, I’m trying to decide how much to tell

him. “Don’t give me some bull shi t answer…I highly doubt she was in here over nursery fees.” He’s pis

s ed at me too, I guess I get that we normally

share everything so to be withholding from him has to be frustrating.

“I don’t know what to say” I tell him lamley, “I can barely wrap my head around it as it is.” James just

sits there and looks at me. “Faye is… well…she’s my true mate.” I watch as James’s eyes get

comically larger and larger as he processes what I’ve just said.

“But Anna…” He whispers.

“I know.” I tell him while holding out the whiskey bottle.

“True fated mate…two of them.” He says in a whisper accepting the bottle. “I assume Anna doesn’t

know?” I shake my head no and tilt back in my chair. “Have you tried rejecting her?”

“Leo says it won’t work, her wolf is too strong and we are apparently true mates.” The words taste bitter

coming out of my mouth. “Rick is training Anna so she can win a challenge against her.”

So you think a female who thinks she is your true fated mate is just going to back down after being

defeated in a challenge?” James asks around a chuckle. “I think you delusional Anna will have to kill

her not just eat her and sorry to be the one to tell you this…but your mate is no killer” James isn’t

wrong

Anna is kind, considerate and emotionally open to those around her. There isn’t a single part of her that

is able to take a life. She simply does not have the mean streak in her. My only hope is to bring it out in

her and pray to the Goddess I can bring her back from it.
