Warren's POV:

After taking the shower I slipped out with Bella still sleeping on our bed. While going there I felt weirdly nervous. Like something drastic is going to happen. Putting that aside I reached the location and the foul stench of blood hit me and a nice fresh scent making me confused and scrunch up. I hate seeing things like this, especially rogues. They are vile creatures worthy of death. I don't want them in my territory at any cost. I snap their necks without hesitation. Anything for my pack protection.

I saw the pack's belle Sapphire. This is my first time seeing her close. Though her parents are well accepted in our pack somehow she is not, even by her own parents. Though bloodied and dirtied she still looked cute and lovely. I've seen her before only once and that too from a distance.

I was having my Alpha training at a different place. I wasn't at home mostly and whenever I was here I never saw her. But I distinctly remember that her parents don't like her. I mean being disliked by their own parents is not a common thing. Her dad is a well-known warrior in our pack and her mother is well liked among she-wolves too. So it is a wonder why she is disliked by such wonderful beings. How bad she must be to be disliked by them? Must be a bitch.

Taking a look at the kid in her arms I couldn't help but frown. I don't approve of rogue kids. That was one of the foolish orders the young Alpha King issued. If you take a rogue child who knows who might come into your pack territory for them? It's definitely dangerous for my pack and I am not willing to allow it. What if the rogue grew into a traitor?

I asked her a detailed account of what happened and she delivered it to me. But seriously she shouldn't be out for a walk all alone. It was good that it was a dying rogue. What would she do if one attacked her? Rogues are known for their viciousness! But she was damn stubborn and refused to leave that child and even reminded me of the useless order Alpha King issued. When I voiced my thoughts out loud she even had the gall to call me heartless and that he was a noble alpha.

I roared at her but unaffected she raised her eyes to glare at me and that is when all hell broke loose! Her eyes captured mine and I knew what that meant. She is my mate. That alluring smell I found along with the blood stench was hers. No way! Anyone except her! She must be a bitch to be hated by her parents and her behaviour with me earlier proves as much. I love Bella. I can't do this to her.

No! Fuck you Warren! Don't you dare do it!

My wolf roared at me in anger but I chose to ignore him. I choose my own fate. I rejected her then and there and I turned away fleeing from there before I regret what I did seeing her in pain. I don't want her. I already have the love of my life waiting for me in our bedroom. She is my life, not her! This is what should happen. Bella and I will be happy now. I reached our home and I quickly rushed into our bedroom. I locked the door behind me. Bella woke up and gave me a smile like usual which melts my heart every time but now I felt empty. No! What I did was right! She is my life.

"Warren! Pack duty?" She asked me calmly smiling at me. Noticing my sweaty form and frown she immediately eyed me with concern. "Something happened?"

"No, just some dead rogue." I answered vaguely.

"But..."

Before she could say anything else I climbed up the bed and cut her off by pressing my lips to her. I need to get my senses back. She is my love. I put everything in the kiss and kissed her quite aggressively and demandingly. I need her now to bring my sanity back.

"You seem quite eager." She giggled.

"Yes, I am always eager for you." I continued kissing her and removed the bed sheet away from her body to reveal her naked form. She tugged up my T-shirt and I moved away from her enough to take it off and continued kissing her.

No! Don't! We have our mate! We should be doing this only to her!

No! It's not! I choose bella and she will be our mate, not her!

She didn't reject you back, not that you gave her enough time bastard! Though I am glad for it our mate would be in serious pain now if you continue!

Shut up! I need her now. I don't care about her! I love Bella!

Sapphire's POV:

My morning walk was interrupted when the smell of blood reached my nose. Normally I wouldn't have gone in that direction but I could also hear faint whimpers. I am strong because of the so called training I do with my father but being strong doesn't mean I search for dangers. What if someone needed help? I followed the smell and soon enough I found a female rogue wolf bleeding. I don't know what happened but her injuries looked fatal. She was already looking thin to the point of showing bones and this doesn't help. She will die.

I found a child no more than a year old crying near her. Her child I guess. I sat on my knees near the kid slowly in order to not frighten them of my presence. I leaned him on me and soothed them as much as I can. I looked into her eyes directly with sincerity conveying all I could through my gaze. I am not sure what I can do but I will do my damn best to protect this child. I will try to see that he will not be bullied like others.

I linked the pack officials as per the pack rules and to my surprise the Alpha's son arrived. It was my first time meeting him directly and I kept my gaze lowered as a sign of respect but with time he is slowly losing the respect. He is behaving like a jerk. How can he ask me to kill him? He is heartless! And then he wants me to leave the kid there? Even with the Alpha King's orders against it! When I reminded him of that he not only ridiculed me but also the Alpha King, calling him useless when he was the useless one.

I normally refrain from being rude to anyone, no scratch that I am never rude to anyone but he is begging to be an exception so I granted him that. He roared at me expecting me to back down but like hell I will. I lifted my gaze to glare at him but as soon as my eyes met his I was shocked. He was my mate. He is not only a jerk who wants to leave an innocent kid alone but I also heard that he is in love with his childhood friend. Bloody hell! What did get myself involved in?

"Fuck no!" He roared. "I reject you! I don't want you as my mate." He immediately turned away and left me without another word not giving me the chance to utter another word. When he said 'I reject you' something broke in my heart and gave me immense pain making my legs buckle and I fell to the ground in pain. Tears pooled in my eyes and everything buzzed for a second. This pain is unbearable like my heart is being ripped in two. I didn't feel anything for him but still it hurts very much! Why? This unbearable pain!

I don't even know him but I yearned to be accepted by him why? It suddenly feels like all my world turned black. When the me, who was never loved by anyone heard of mates I was very fascinated. Mates meaning loving each other unconditionally, I wanted it. Being loved by someone was what I dreamed for and yearned for but obviously it wouldn't come true. I forgot about the fact that none would want to love me. He didn't even want me in the first place. May be I was not enough for him. Or the rumor that he loves his childhood friend was true.

Whatever the case the fact remains that I am unwanted and right now my heart is aching over someone when I don't even want it or him and the fact that I am unloved all my life. Why is fate so cruel as to pair him up with me? Why? Why couldn't fate give me someone who loves me? Why? Why should I suffer? All my dreams for love are shattered now. That was my last ray of hope. All my hopes dashed to the ground cruelly. Why? Did I do something wrong somewhere? I always thought I was a good girl. Was I not enough to be loved? Am I not eligible for the simple notion of love? The mate who is supposed to love me unconditionally, doesn't even want me, didn't he say that himself and quite aggressively at that?

The kid in my arms stirred. I think my cries disturbed him, I even forgot that he was here. I stopped crying looking at him. I will be brave and I won't let this rejection bring me down. It's not like I wanted Warren. I don't know him and from the conversation we just had he sounds like a jerk. Even if he is not a jerk I am not interested in knowing him. He can do whatever he wants for all I care. I am not going to let something I am not responsible for bring me down. I was never loved to begin with and hoping for such a thing, thinking naively that a person called mate would enter my life and love me for all I am worth is quite foolish. I lived without love till date and I will continue living without it. I will never be loved in my life. Period.

To be frank I am lucky. This kid here is a rogue and he even lost his mother as of now. Though they are not much I have someone to say they are parents, a shelter over my head and food to fill my belly. I should be thankful for what I have instead of crying for what I don't have. I smiled at the kid but I can still detect some sadness in me. But that's not my fault but the rejection's I guess. It would hurt for some more time but I will get over it.

My wolf whimpered and howled in sadness and anger. I know her pain would be a thousand times worse than me. And here I feel like I could die any moment. I can only try to imagine how she must be feeling like. Don't cry snow, it was not meant to be. I know it is heart breaking for you since he was your supposed mate but we can't do anything now. He loves someone else. I will always be there for you and I care for you. Like I said even you don't know him! He is not what we want. We will get over this together Snow.

Give me some time to heal.

She replied. I smiled at her. Take all the time you want. I am here for you. I started moving to the orphanage. I can't take the kid with me. Wish I could but for my parents even I am a burden so bringing a child with me would be a total no! The child has the right to be here, until the Alpha King's people come and pick him up. But I am really scared for him.

Of course he has the right to be here temporarily until he can be transferred to the orphanage in the capital but I better keep out an eye on him in case something happens. Rogue kids are highly mistreated in our world. They are somewhat like taboo but seriously? They couldn't help who they were born to! It was not their conscious choice. I am highly against the mistreatment of rogue kids too. Everyone has to be treated equally.

As soon as I went kids came to me seeing the child in my hands and started asking me questions. I visit the orphanage often. It gives me peace of mind and help out any way I can, not that I am welcomed here by the adults or that they recognize my efforts but still I help them and they are more than happy to throw all the work on me whenever I come. But still I love it here. This is my little sanctuary, the place I run to when I want to escape the reality. So I am known here for the kids to gather around me. I shushed them because he is still sleeping. I placed him in one of the available bed to let him sleep peacefully. I am sure that is a better place to sleep than my arms.

"Now he is a new kid but I don't think he will stay here for long." The kids frowned at him not being able to stay with them making me smile. Kids are the most pure creatures, not showing discrimination against anyone, no prejudices too. But growing up we werewolves get biased, greedy and what not, losing the pureness we once have.

I noticed a person standing just beside the door. He made his presence scarce and despite his large body he was still able to blend in. He is above 6 feet for sure and looked a little on the huge side. I bet he has eight pack with muscles inside. I found his presence intriguing and was somehow drawn to him. What's weird was he wearing a hood and I couldn't even see a glimpse of his face. Letting the children scatter around I slowly approached him. He stood there without moving an inch and I somehow felt like he waiting for me to speak to him.

"Hello." I greeted him and he gave me a nod in acknowledgement. I didn't know what else to say so I just stood beside him and looked at the children.

"Why are you wearing a hood?" I asked suddenly. Shit! Would that be considered rude?

"I can't show my face." He answered in a deep baritone. That's one masculine voice! I like th..wait he can't show his face? May be has some nasty scar or something on his face? Considering his build may be he is a pack warrior and received it in some kind of war or training and he hid it because children are easily afraid.

"Oh!" I replied not knowing what to say. "Children take things at face value and word value huh?" I commented. "But it might be surprising sometimes how well they take you." I said turning to him and smiled at him but I froze mid smile as sharp pain hit me. My legs almost buckled with the force it hit me. It was like someone twisted a knife in my stomach and continuing playing with my insides. It was such a sharp pain. I didn't know what happened but by the time the second wave of pain hit me I understood what it is.

Warren is sleeping with someone!
