"You're going to leave me alone?", Kailee asked in disbelief as her eyes bulged from her head.

"It's only for a few minutes, I need answers, I'll be back soon", I replied as I looked at her. Mykel said it was best if we talked alone and he was currently waiting for me at the stairs.

"Fine, but I won't forgive you for this", she stated before taking a seat on the black leather couch. I smiled apologetically at her before going over to Mykel.

He looked at me deeply for a few seconds before holding out his hand. I looked at it for a while before taking it. I followed him up the stairs as I tried to ignore how soft and gentle his hands felt. It was a great contrast to his muscular size. I wonder what else these hands-

-No. Stop thinking these thoughts Lina!.

I passed some persons on the way, their eyes boring into my figure. I gripped Mykel's hand tigher before a growl came from him. They averted their eyes and continued on their way. He was really an Alpha.

He stopped infront of a large grey door and opened it. I gulped harshly before entering.

It was his room.

There was a large bed to the left with thick grey blankets covering it. A huge black carpet laid on the floor, a few pieces of furniture here and there and also alot of abstract paintings on the wall. I took a seat and looked at him.

My eyes were met with his naked, toned body. I swallowed harshly.

I averted my eyes and looked down at my hands. I heard his footsteps going towards the right of the room before I heard some shuffling. I took a chance and looked up to see him in a pair of black jeans. He pulled on a shirt next before turning and making his way over to my side.

"Lina, this will be alot to take in", he said as he looked down at me.

"I'm ready", I said as we locked eyes with each other. He took a seat on the opposite of me and I sat up in mine. I was ready and eager to hear everything.

"A mate is a wolf's other half. It's that special person that the moon goddess chose for you to be with for all eternity. It's basically like marriage but you're together forever", he told me not once breaking eye contact.

"But, why me?", I asked quietly as I stared at him. Why was I chosen for him?. I'm just a normal girl with a normal life!.

"I don't know but she saw something special about you. She knows that you will make the perfect Luna. And I believe so too", he answered and I ran my hands through my hair. This was truly alot to take in.

"What does Luna mean?", I asked as my fingers massaged my temples.

"A Luna is an Alpha's mate. You'll be by my side and help me lead the pack. A Luna is meant to produce kids and help make decisions. That is if you decide to be my luna", was his reply as I stared at him wide eyed.

I was suppose to do what?.

"And what if I chose not to be the Luna?", I asked and his right eye twitched. I heard a deep groan and I shifted in the seat keeping some distance between us.

"If you don't want to be my Luna then you can always reject me. But before you do that, rejection is the most painful thing a wolf can go through. It takes alot of time to heal and it will actually damage both you and me emotionally. I will never force you to do what you don't want, the choice is yours".

I stood up and went to the other side of the room. My brain was trying to register everything he just said. Why was I chosen?. Why did this moon goddess thought that I was fit enough to be an Alpha's Luna?.

"I still don't understand why I was chosen for you. I'm a human and I can't lead a pack. I'm different. If I'm to be Luna there will be alot that's expected from me and I won't be able to handle them. Plus I can't be around wolves all my life, I have my own plans and I can't stay here forever. I'm sorry but I can't do this", I said to him and each word tasted bitter coming off my tongue.

He was staring at me the whole time with a blank expression. I wasn't meant for him. Something had to be wrong. I can't be a Luna and lead a pack of wolves. I can barely even take care of myself in the woods for christ sake!.

"How does this rejection thing work?", I asked, shuffling in my spot.

He got up and started coming towards me. I stepped back but he grabbed my hands and pulled my body to his. His breathing was heavy as he placed his head on mine.

"Lina, I've waited five years for you. I know I said I'll never force you but please, I need you".

I closed my eyes, his hands found their to my cheeks and he caressed them. I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't focus. I needed space, I needed time to breath and think about what I wanted.

"I need to go", I said forcing myself to pull away. His eyes were a pale shade of red as he nod and walked towards the door.

"Will you think about it?", he asked and I nod slowly. I had to think about it.

"I'll carry you back to the borders", he said and we both walked out of the room.

I was upset to the point that I didn't care if my parents were up or not. Nor did I care if they knew I wasn't in bed. I explained everything to Kailee on the way and her reaction was what I expected. She asked me what I wanted and I couldn't tell her because I didn't know.

I didn't ask for this. I can't be his Luna. I had to do this rejection thing and move on from this. He said that it will damage both of us emotionally but eventually it will pass right?. He will find another person maybe even one of his own kind and then she will be his Luna. There was some mistake on the moon goddess' side.

I was wrongly chosen.

The lights in my house were on and that meant my parents were up. I was planning on climbing back up to my room but decided against it. If they were up then they most likely knew I wasn't in my room. I knocked on the door and in a few seconds it was opened by Avan. He grabbed me and pulled me in for a death grip hug.

"Lina, where have you been?. Why are you always sneaking out at nights?", was his first words as he pulled away. My expression was unreadable as I turned and locked the door.

"Mom and dad are up. Lina I think something is going on but they won't tell me anything", Avan said and that's when worry started to creep in.

I made my way to the living room and sure enough mom and dad was seated. I swallowed harshly as I crossed my arms.

"Did you find out what you wanted to know?", mom was the first to ask.

"Yes I did. You both knew this would happen and you kept it from me-

"-Lina stop it. I only found out when you were explaining everything to me in your room. I talked to your father about it and we put two and two together. There's nothing we can do about it".

"Can someone explain to me what's going on!?", Avan shouted getting frustrated that he was oblivious to what was happening.

"Your sister is mated to the Alpha", dad spoke nonchalantly and my hands dropped to my side. He made it sound so simple as if it was nothing.

"What does mated even mean?. Look I need a serious explanation right now. I'm a part of the family too", Avan stated with frustration lacing his voice.

"I'm the Alpha's mate. I'm to be his Luna. A mate is considered the other half of a wolf and I'm the Alpha's. He said that I am destined to be by his side and lead the pack with him. Unless I reject him", I said explaining it all to them. I wanted to cry but I wasn't sure why. All of this is just so messed up.

"But, isn't it as simple as that?. I mean you said you can reject him and it will be over right?. The bond between you two will be broken right?".

"I don't know Avan I don't!. I need space please", I shouted before running up the stairs. I locked the door and jumped on my bed. I hugged the pillow to my chest and let the tears fall. I was confused as what to do. I wasn't built for this. How can I lead a pack of wolves?. Me, a human. How can I give up my life and dreams to be a Luna?.

I need time alone to think. I need to decide what to do. But most importantly, I need to figure out if rejecting him was the best thing to do.
