Goodbye Bane
RENEE'S POV.
As I stood watching the new luna being introduced, my breaths started to become shorter, I was starting to feel warm and I knew that my eyes were starting to warm up.
I didn't want to cry but it was unbearable.
Carlo turned and waved at the pack members with a smile on her face. "I'm really happy that I'm going to rule this pack as your luna and am in really in love with your handsome Alpha." she said and I could hear due to my enhanced hearing. She took a step closer towards the Bane and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
I felt that.
Bane smiled accepting the kiss and before I knew it the first drop of my tear dropped. As if on cue, his eyes widened and searched the crowd until his blue eyes met mine.
He didn't show any emotions. He gazed at me for few seconds then turned his eyes on Carlo.
I watched but while biting my lip so hard to keep the tears from falling. I really tried to keep myself together but it was no use. I felt so hurt.
I couldn't breathe and I had to get out of there. I turned around, pushing people out of my way. As I rushed away, Images in my head started to flash
Tonight so soon... Carlo's lips will be on Bane's. Her arms will be wrapped around him, breasts pressed against his chest.
Shit! Nooo
I shook my head but the images were already starting to haunt me.
I felt my wolf's hurt too. Yes we knew it that our mate didn't love us but this was so much. Being rejected verbally was better than this.
He has a right over me and that was destroying me. He refused to reject me verbally and it was now the reality I must face.
My heart clenched at the thought. My life, my choices, are no longer my own. I'm bound to him, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. A cruel, twisted version of vows humans make, only, in my case, death might not be the end if he's an immortal.
A mate, in the werewolf world, has a full claim over the other one.
Before I knew it, I found myself outside the pack house and next thing I knew, I was running mad fast towards the forest.
I wanted to get away.
Why was the moon goddess so cruel to give me a mate like him
Everything was annoying me more. I couldn't think as I ran. I was just an emotional wreck.
The hurt I felt was eating me up.
Yes at some point I didn't blame him. It was my father and his father's plan. I knew it was things he couldn't control. But still, it hurt like hell.
I didn't understand. I normally could control my feelings no matter the pain that I felt, but when it was things revolving my mate, I'm an easy target.
Bane was messing with the coping mechanism that I had built for years, easily making them crumble in his feet. And I hated it.
I had to be strong no matter what, even in front of my mate. I couldn't dare to trust anyone with my life anymore, I had to carry myself alone.
'Not even Bane?' my wolf asked inside my head.
'Not even him, I will be fine alone without a mate", replied bitterly. As I ran towards who knows where, I shew my wolf to let her understand of how deep my emotions were. 'You're the only one I trust", I added.
And so I ran. I ran till I forgot about Carlo's face. I didn't even understand why I was so mad, but then I caught a glimpse of the almost full moon at the pond. I stopped, looking up, and feeling the water surround my feet.
A sense of peace dawned me and I remembered the weird dreams I have been getting. Why did the moon goddess mate me to Bane?! I wondered as I stared at the moon. However, as I stared longer, I felt myself getting pulled by its light.
Shaking my head, I continued running. I wondered if I passed over the pack's borders but when I if I passed over the pack's borders but when I concentrated, I could see the barrier was still far. I looked behind me and tried to sense if there was anyone who followed me.
I doubt Bane or anybody in particular was able to follow me. The party had just started when I left and he sure couldn't leave the event without a good excuse. And knowing him, his pack would always come first.
I looked ahead of me. Maybe it was time to do what I'd always dared to do.
To go rogue.
My wolf instantly started scolding me, but I was ready. I had nothing to lose. I'll go anywhere.
I looked up to the moon once again who seemed to be staring at my every move and that's when I decided.
I was going to follow the moon.
After about an hour of running, I stood in front of the pack's barrier. I could feel how strong it was. It wasn't going to be easy getting out. I could get electrocuted by even trying to step out. Staring at how it glowed so brightly in the dark, it scared me. I remember learning that if it was powerful enough to glow, it was strong one cast by strong barrier users.
I breathed and tried to touch but immediately, I felt a stinging current on my finger.
It's impossible after all.
'You can get through.'
'How do I do that, smarty?'
'Shush, Renee! Can't you feel it? The barrier, you can manipulate it. You don't have to be afraid, you have to be calm when touching it.' she instructed. I didn't understand what she was saying but I knew there was some truth in it.
I could feel the barrier's strength. I could feel how far the barrier's users were located. I took a deep breath and decided to trust my wolf's instinct. I calmed myself down, lifting my hand up.
A part of the barrier in front of me started dissolving, just enough for my height to be able to get out. I looked behind me, deciding for a moment.
Goodbye Bane.
