Chapter Nine

*Two Years Later*

Olivia

I look around my bedroom and I walk to his office to see him standing, looking out of his window again. I walk behind him and wrap my arms around him and take his smell in. I stay like this for a while before I kiss his shoulder and told him goodbye. I walk out of the pack house and into a car to go back home.

I get home to see my brother waiting for me. I give him the biggest hug. "I never knew the day would come that I would actually miss you." I laughed in his tight embrace. "Come in Sis we have much to talk about and I have to show you what has changed."

Christopher was telling me all about the changes in the pack and I saw a bunch of my old friends mated and with kids and it tugged at my heart.

That night me and Chris were drinking around the firepit, "So Sis you want to talk about it? I'm here to listen." He turned to me for an answer.

"Brother, we are making progress, but I know he stills loves her, he still waits for her." I said while I was staring at the fire.

"I guess we were both unlucky in love." He chuckled.

"Oh brother, I know your mate is out there somewhere, just waiting for you to find her. Don't give up." I encouraged him.

He looked up to the stars and sighed, "Livi, I actually found my mate. I rejected her-" I intervened before he could finished.

"What!! When? Where? Why? You've been waiting for so long Chris!"

Still looking at the stars, "When we went to your mates pack. I was walking around to check things out. I smelt this wonderful smell, I started to walk towards it. When I saw her, she was the most gorgeous creature I ever laid eyes on. I wanted to mark her on the spot, so I was showing my dominance, she also showed hers and I was in love. She didn't bend, I knew she was for me, I walked closer to her and then I smelted it. She smelled like another man; I was hurt she didn't save herself like I did for her. I was mad, so I rejected her. But the thing was when I was about to leave she got back up with vibe of hurt but she still made it to her feet and accepted. My heart broke so I wanted to leave. I can't believe I was mated with the town slut. That night I came back home I was drinking and BOOM! Pain shot through me…. I couldn't believe she just got rejected by me and she was already with another man. What I couldn't believe, was who the hell has sex that long!?! It was all night til the sun started to raise. Who in their right minds can last that long!?! After he finished he looked at me with his sad eyes. "I didn't want to tell you, but she smelt like the alpha, your mate."

Then I knew who he was talking about. I looked at him with pity. "Chris I think I need to tell you a story." He looked at me with a questioned face. I told him about how my mate always loved Nayla and how here father died and the medical help her mother needed and the deal they made. He looked at me we glossy eyes. "Oh brother the Goddess sure knows how to pick our pairs." I laughed while I was looking at the moon. "Your mate was innocent; it was mine that couldn't let go and held on to her. I'm sorry Chris." We stayed in silence for a bit more.

"Olivia, can we go see her?" Chris asked

I look down, "I'm sorry, I have no clue where she went. After her Mother died she left the pack. She came to see him before she left. She told me to take good care of him. And too have patience on love. But when the time is right, he is going to need tough love to help him out. She said to promise her to never give up on him. After that she left. It has been 2 years now.

Chris looked like his heart was breaking knowing he couldn't mend the misunderstanding.

Two Weeks later - I see a familiar vehicle parked in front of our pack house. I walk to the living room and there he was in all. He looked sick and haven't slept. He sees me and with a chin up, "Olivia its time for you to come back home."

"I am home Leelan" I fold my arms to my chest looking at him. "I have no reason to go back."

He looks at me hurt. "Olivia, what will it take for you to come back home with me?"

Is he submitting to me? "I want you to love me as your mate."

"Okay." He agrees so easily

"I want you to mark me and make me officially the Luna."

He looks down and balls his fist, "Give me time Olivia" he struggles to say

"No Leelan. I have given you enough time. Either you agree to my terms or I will reject you. He flinches at the word "reject"

"Okay I will." As he walks to me to get my hand I stop him.

"One more thing… I want you to stop your search for Nayla." He looks at me with his hurt eyes. His eyes are turning glossy, will he actually cry? Will he agree? He kneels on one knee while he looks down. What felt like an eternity he finally answers.

"Okay." I see a tear fall on the ground as he answered.

Finally, we are taking a step to our future, it may be a rough one but it's a step.
