I cant bear it anymore.Every mating season , the heat is painful and uncomfortable for me.I have been going to the Mating Ceremony in hope that I would find whom the moon goddess had chosen as my fated mate but everytime am dissapointed.
One thing I won't get my hopes high this time am not going to the ceremony.I woke up with the unceremonial heat with my clothes and sheets drenched with sweat.I was profusely sweating with heavy sweat glands on my face.
'Moon goddess why have you been tormenting me every year like this'.I asked this unanswered question to myself as I made my way to the bathroom to dip myself in a cold bath.What I was feeling was nothing compared to the way I felt when ever I was under the moonlight during the mating season.
I flunged my body inside the water tub filled with ice water.I dip myself and for a moment it helped to soothe the uncomfortable feeling caused by the heat.It was more depressing how I could also go innto heat even when I have never felt the companionship of my supposed wolf.I was a wolfless werewolve.
Everyone within the pack did not like me and I have always felt this disconnection between me and the rest of the pack.What I remember was that I was picked by the Alpha and Luna years ago and they brought me back to the pack.
History about my parents has always been vague all I get whenever I try to recover the memories of my family is just fire blazing everywhere and someone pusing inside a well.How I got out of the well and how I managed to get to the river where the Alpha and Luna of Moonrose pack where passing is always a mystery.
Suddenly their was a knock on the door and it startled me for a moment because no one usually want to associate with me in this kingdom.It must be the Alpha's messengers.I took my robe and wrapped over my both ad went to open the door.
"Gentleman, to what do I owe the pleasant visit from the messengers of the Alpha?"I asked as I studied their expressions to see if I was in trouble or not.
I don't know wher eit came from but whenever I looked at a weak person I would determine what they were feelinng and these two were calm which made me breath a sigh of relief.
"Good day. The Alpha has ordered for every unmated maiden within the pack to be at the mating grounds by sundown" they relayed the news.
"Why has he suddenly ordered everyone at the ceremony I thought those that had not been mated went to the ceremony willingly" I questioned because I of all the people have not been seen at the ceremony for a while after some of the pack members said I was messing with their scents since I wouldn't control my pheromones whenever the moon shone on me.It was like the moon was the catalyst which could cause me to lose control in covering my scent.
"I heard these were not his wish as well but they were orders from the Lycan King.I thas been rumoured that he will be joining us this year for the mating ceremony because he too is searching for his mate" they said in unision and I burst into a loud laughter.They looked at me with confusion.
"Sorry. Thank you for the message I will be available"I said because going against the orders of my Alpha and most importantly the Lycan King was applying for death.
How ironic the greatest warrior and the cold and feared Lycan King s still looking for a mate after all his 500 years without one.Rumour has it that he was cursed and he could only have an heir with his true and only fated mate.
The people once said a lady had consulted dark magic to be made his mate but she didn't survive his bite so ever since he has not mated with anyone. Today will be a perfect day to see him for myself to see if the legend was true.Some said that he was so handsome with a scar on his left cheek and taller than normal werewolf with heightened senses and speed.
Such a being existed! I went back to the bathroom and dipped myself into the water. If I fi were to survive this night I needed to calm myself down a lot because I might lose it which is actually the scary part.
I had to prepare the gown to wear for the mating ceremony because it was customary that we wore some flashy showy clothes. I took out a piece of cloth and started making designs when all of a sudden I was pulled into a vision.
"You need to take revenge for us, baby. You are strong Selene and when you find your way and discover who you truly are, promise me you will hunt whoever is responsible for the death of our people. Please baby they must suffer" the voice said and I could only see wounded hands.
"Mommy please am scared " I heard myself say in a voice that seemed to belong to a 6 year old.
"listen baby, you are strong and wise .You are the strongest of us all and you are the child with the blood of the dragon and phoenix .When you embrace that power that you have baby you will be unstoppable.Now nomatter what you see and hear don't come out o the well okay.Hush baby I love you" the voice said and the warmth and familiarity I felt at this moment told me that this was my mother.
When the vision ended I gasped for breath and I was sweating profusely again now it more times worse than before and I felt that I was nearly losing control of my pheromones. The last time I lost control of my scent all the unmated males picked it up and they had lust on their eyes. They all wanted to mate and claim me as their but I had to escape because this was becoming too troublesome.
I watched th sun set slowly and the nightime come, the once blue sky was covered with a dark quilt with shiny stars.The ceremony was going to be held at the old temple grounds and this was a long walk from my home.
I had been living away from the other population because I feared causing trouble with my uncontrolled heat. What always troubled me was that I had not met my mate so why did I have to go into heat? Some people say that a female werewolf goes into heat when they have come across their mate. This is a way to communicate with their mate and draw them closer to them.
One most important factor was that wolfless werewolves did not experience heat but with me it was always a surprise.
I stepped out of my shabby room and made my way towards the old temple and I met some werewolves along the way but htye were not friendly.
"Look at her, she doesn't have a mate and still emmitts her choking smell" I heard this from the ladies that were walking behind me .I had heightened senses more than an ordinary werewolf.
"Do you think that she can find a mate this year?"Someone asked among the gossipers.
"Even if she found one , I hope they reject her because she is actually nothing.She is poerless, wolfless she is a rank below the omega in this pack" one boastful lady said and I paid a deaf ear to them.
"O h Selene.We were just talking about you and how you are bad news.Your presence will make my Lycan King uncomfortable.Why did you even leave your rabbit hole?" One lady with shiny balck hair called.
I caught a scent of perfume and she seemed to have one all out to catch the attention of the Lycan King.Well I wish them well because the Lycan King is not my main concern tonight.I just didn't want to disobey the orders of my Alpha and wanted to acutally find answers to treat this unbearable heat.
Just then the moon started coming out and I felt like its rays were rejuvenating me .But one thing that followed was unpredicted.I started feeling this new wave of the heat.
I squatted and grabbed my hair roughly. This was driving me crazy. I don't think I will be able to survive tonight.
I saw my body produce a faint glow and a moon carving on my arm when I was feeling the heat just now.
"Selene how many times do we have to tell you to cover your stinking scent " one lady called, "Are you trying to snatch our mates you wolfless and unmated werewolf" she added as she scoffed.
The moon was covered by some clouds and the carvings also disappeared as well as the pain.
What is happening to me today?
