Regret and frustration

"Come on Casper we have to see Mr Harrington". John, one of he's friends dragged him out of class before he could look at the guy beside her.

Olivia looked different. She looked more full. Too bad he didn't get to bully her before John dragged him out. What was he saying, he didn't even get to stare at her the way he did.

They reached Mr Harrington's office and he took them to the school hall.

"I was supposed to call all the wolves present today for this announcement but I didn't want to create any suspicions". Said Mr Harrington.

Mr Harrington was the schools chancellor and also a ware wolf. He was the one in charge of the upcoming pack in which Casper was to lead.

"Some of you died during the transmission. Jody didn't make it. Kingsley didn't make it".

When Casper heard Kingsley's name he felt bad. He had a fight with the boy and he couldn't even get to win it before he died. What a looser. Giving up without even trying.

"Andrea didn't make it". Mr Harrington continued. Andrea's name brought a series of laughter among the student present and Mr Harrington had to stop talking. "Is anything funny".

"No sir". they all answered.

" Hey Casper did you hear that, your bitch is dead". John whispered to Casper who frowned.

"I told you it was only friends with benefits".

"Yeah right , too bad that friend is dead. So who's going to replace her". Luca added. Casper ignored them and faced Mr Harrington who continued talking.

"And as you all know. Casper is the alpha here so let's all try to be cooperative even though he tends to act sour and out of control and very demanding at times". Mr Harrington looked at Casper who frowned. And he's friends laughed.

"But the main reason I'm here is to inform you all about the......"

"I thought Casper had to have a mate before he could become a complete alpha". Someone shouted and all heads turned back to Mr Harrington for an answer.

"Well as you can see I was getting to that. But let's just hope he's mate doesn't eventually becomes one of the people he has bullied". Mr Harrington added making Casper go deep in thought and every where went silent. He remembered the wolf he had saw when changing.

This was a very risky part. If he's Luna tends to hate him this could make the pack loose strength. Everyone had this similar thought in mind.

"But the real reason I called you here was to tell you this. Who remembers the time we had a fight with the witches". Mr Harrington said and everyone faced him.

Mr Harrington sighed. "Don't you guys do history. Oh right you go to school meant for mortals. Well I'll break it all down. We've been hearing rumors that they are coming back. And we lost a lot of men during the battle. So it all comes on you". He faced Casper.

"Your father's pack needs your help".

Casper nodded. "The moonstone pack will be ready to help".

"Now the main point is you finding a Luna to strengthen your pack. And you guys will Begin training immediately. I'll see the rest and tell them". With that Mr Harrington left the students to think.

"You better find that Luna of yours as fast as possible. I'll love to see you go all lovey dovey and act like a lost puppy". John said and patted Casper on the back before going. Casper hissed. He didn't want a Luna. Because. One, he was afraid of who it might be. and two, he didn't want to be bounded to someone.

Olivia was greatful to Ralph. The boy had not let her get out of he's sight. And she had successfully succeeded in spending half a day in school ignoring all the scary eye monsters.

She and Ralph walked to the school garden to sit. It was her idea though. She told Ralph she preferred eating outside than in the schools cafeteria. That place held too much degree in bully. It was like the cafeteria was their main branch.

"So are you now willing to tell me why you have no friends". Ralph said and Olivia's heart skipped. If she told him about Casper would he also leave her like the rest. But Ralph did not look like that kind of guy. So she was going to try her luck. I mean you only know real friends when you need them the most.

"I'll tell you but first let's eat. I didn't get to finish my food this morning". They both sat down next to a tuba tree and unpacked their food and then they ate.

Casper laughed out as John got snubbed by a tenth grader. "Hey man I've told you to stop going for low keys.

I can't help it".

"They are the naive ones and pretty easy to fool. But that girl had some guts". John replied with a frown making he's friends laugh harder. She really ignored...... Casper stopped talking as a flowery scent overpowered him. Wild roses.

He sniffed in again and it felt like he would run mad if he didn't find the place it was coming from. He had been able to control all the scents that came form he's friends and any one he came In contact with. He's father trained him how to. But how come this one was so overpowering. He needed to find the person. He just needed to find it.

"Hey man what's wrong". John asked and all he's friends turned to look at him.

" Wild roses". Casper muttered earning a look of confusion from he's friends.

"What do you mean wild roses". Luca asked. Casper sniffed in again and walked away he's friends looked at him in confusion until they all gasped out loud.

"Are we all thinking about the same thing". John asked and they all nodded.

"I hope it's not a teacher". Luca added and the rest of the crew shaked their head in disbelief.

"You have problems man". Said Ryan.

Casper followed the scent. The person was walking in this direction. He looked upward and saw two people pass through a corner and that seemed to be where the smell was coming from because it got harder. He followed them and he saw them bend to seat but their back was to him. He saw the girl but couldn't figure out who she was. But whoever she was. He was claiming her. Casper shaked he's head. Calm down boy. You don't know who she is. He said to he's wolf. He walked forward and he watched the girl laugh turning her head in the process. And he saw olivia.

CASPER'S POV

She can't be, I don't want her to be. She hates me. I made her hate me and now I'm bearing the consequences. She's my MATE.

The smell of wild roses came again. God I had no idea she smelled this good.

I found myself walking towards her.

No stop, stop walking. I inwardly barked but my wolf kept on pushing me forward.

Touch her. You know we want to. My wolf barked at me. I really do want to touch her. But how would she react.

She suddenly turned towards me and I saw the fear in her eyes. She was scared of me. My heart ached. But I kept on walking anyway.

When she noticed I was coming for her. She stood up and ran. I followed her.

You caused this. my wolf cried out in horror.

Yeah and now I'm regretting it.

Olivia felt her heart in her throat as she ran. No no this was not possible. He shouldn't be, she doesn't want him to be. She felt herself at the point of tears.

Casper was her mate, she felt it. She felt the scent overcame her. She was scared when she saw him. When she saw that the scent had came from him. He smelt like wet earth. The cool and calming smell of nature.

She ran as fast as she could but she could feel him running after her.

Of all people moon goddess. Why him. Why the hell did you choose Casper.

Casper followed her until she stopped. She turned back and faced him and he could see the tears in her eyes. And at once he knew she also knew. She looked remorseful. Full of hatred and he felt he's heart ache. He suddenly felt like holding her, wrapping he's hands around her. And tell her everything was alright. That she shouldn't cry. But how could he. He was the cause of her tears. He couldn't say anything. He just watched.

Olivia felt her heartbeat almost reaping out of her chest.

She suddenly started laughing and it got louder Casper almost thought she ran mad.

She laughed and cleaned the tears.

Casper felt her laughter mocking. She was mocking him right.

Olivia looked at him straight in the eye. And smiled. A smile Casper saw through as a smile of hatred.

"How does it feel Casper. Tell me. How does it feel to know that the one you bullied her entire life. The one you made her entire life miserable for bad fourteen years. How does it feel to know she's your mate. Tell me how does it feel".

Olivia paused then continued.

"Well I'll tell you how I feel.

I feel hatred. I feel confident. I feel remorseful. But most of all I feel happy".

Casper was sure he was seeing a witch and not Olivia. But her last word made he's Brain ache. She was happy. Why.

And as if olivia could read he's thought she answered the question.

"I feel happy because I know the mating bond won't let you act to whatever I say. You won't be able to harm me like you do. Or will you?". Caper heard the sarcasm in her voice. He hated the fact that he could only stand and watch. It was like he was frozen to the spot. This olivia scared him. Of course he couldn't do anything to her now. He couldn't and Olivia knew it.

"_Cat got your tongue, Mr Casper. Or have you suddenly gotten short of words. Won't you tell me to kneel and lick your foot. Aren't you interested in seeing me crawl from the hallway to the cafeteria just so you and your friends could have a good laugh". Casper felt his heart squeeze more. Olivia continued.

"Won't you push me down and tell me to eat the grass. Uhh. Mr Casper". Olivia smirked. "Aren't you going to do something Mr Casper."

"Olivia". Casper finally found he's voice. "I'm sorry".

The dark chuckle that came out of olivia made she herself amazed. Where has this opposite of her been all this years.

She laughed. "Can you hear yourself Casper. You just told me please". Olivia laughed. "Oh my God. Why aren't I with my phone. Did Casper Sanchez just tell me sorry . Did you just say sorry. Aren't you going to tell me to run around the field until you feel satisfied and let me go".

Both mates were oblivious of the now gathering crowd that grew every second. Casper's friends had followed him when he ran of, now what they were seeing was unbelievable. They already understood what was going on. They chased the mortals so it only remained every member of the pack.

Casper had never felt like this all his life. Was this what they called heartbreak.

Olivia walked forward. She stood before Casper her eyes casted on him.

"Come on Casper say something. You always have something to say. Why be quiet now". Olivia scoffed. "Mr Casper Sanchez. Don't you have something to say." She smiled when he still said nothing. "I'll let you get back to your business". With all said she left ignoring all the unbelievable looks she was getting.

Casper felt a lot quid stroll down he's cheek and he cleaned it of.

"Man, that was Olivia's bad twin don't take it personally". John walked forward and tried to console Casper.

Luca sighed. "You're not supposed to make him feel good John. He deserves all his getting and more than that. I would have done worse if I was olivia. I told you Casper. Your sister told you. We all told you in our own way but you never listened. Now see what you've gotten into. You better find a way to put things right. You know we need her". Luca walked away. Casper stood stiff. Every other person walked away. He caused it. Casper growled out in anger, fury and regret.

Olivia searched the whole school for Ralph she saw him leaning on he's car.

"Took you long enough". Ralph said.

Olivia sighed. "I'm sorry I've just been busy. What's happening. We aren't closed yet. Why are you here".

Ralph sighed. "Well apparently you mom said to drive you to a place called moonlight. She said you'd no there".

Olivia's heart skipped for a moment. That was where the council had their meeting. Why would they want to meet. Nevertheless Ralph drove her there. The ride was silent cause no one said a word. Olivia was busy in her world and Ralph didn't want to interrupt anything she was thinking about.

They reached the moonlight and Olivia assured Ralph to go back that she could find her way from here. Ralph left after she promised to see him immediately she came back.

Olivia walked into the hall and sighed. Whatever they were going to say she had a feeling she didn't want the hear it. But no one could go against the council.

She pushed the wooden door open. She inhaled as she saw the twelve eyes that landed on her as she walked in. She bowed a little and looked up back.

A huge wide table stood between her and the council.

"Have a seat. Olivia". Mr McPherson said.

Olivia obliged and took the next available seat.

"We heard about your mate".

Olivia gasped but kept her face void of emotion. She knew it.

"You know we are at war and we need every available power we can get".

Olivia nodded.

"We need you to accept Casper".

Olivia chuckled deeply emanating a confused look form the elders.

"What makes you think I would accept him". She stood up.

"What makes you think so?".

"Because his your mate. You can't go against that". This time it was Casper's father that spoke.

Olivia looked at him. "Do you know what your son did to me?".

Mr Sanchez Sighed. "We just want what's best for everyone. So you need to accept him".

Olivia wondered how this people got to find out this fast that she was Casper's mate. Well she guessed nothing was kept secret from the council. "I don't want him as my mate".

"You are going to accept him either way".

This time Olivia felt more than angry.

"So what, because his your son he gets to go scot free. Listen here Mr Sanchez whether you like it or not, I'm not going into any mating bond with your son. Hell to that, he'll suffer for what he did". the whole court looked taken aback by her words. Olivia walked away.

"Olivia stop. Stop now". She heard her mother's voice but she didn't look back. She wasn't going to be controlled again.

A heavy rain started as Olivia walked down the road. They took her for a fool. She cleaned her face. The droplets of the rain felt like stings. What a perfect way to let out her anger. Thunder roured through the clouds.

She looked ahead. Everywhere was getting dark and there was no one in sight.

She chuckled. It's not like anyone had ever been there for her.

"Why me!!. Tell me why me. I wanted love. Someone who would love me for me. Someone who will look beyond my flaws. Hold me tight and whisper in my ears that he loves me. I wanted someone I could live with without having to be scared that someone would take him away from me. But look what you did. You gave me that monster. You gave me someone I hate. She scattered her hair in frustration. I wanted to fill loved naturally, but not because of some bond. He doesn't love me. The bond is in control of his mind. And I'm not going to let that happen to me". She laughed in frustration.

"They think it's so easy to forget. They told me I would have to either way." She chuckled, And cried out in pain. "Well let's see how that goes." Thunder roured through the skies and Olivia whimpered. Her clothes were soaked wet but she felt nothing she only felt hatred and betrayal.

*******************************

The moon goddess rotated the orb and sighed. She leaned on her mates chest. They both watched Olivia cry.

"Do you think I did the right thing".

Her mate sighed. "You did dear. You did".

"But she hates him, she doesn't feel anything". She rubbed her cheeks on him.

"She's blinded by fear, hatred and anger. But most especially. Mariofozna's dark powers, I'm sure Kaz will find something to do about it. She will come to love him soon. Soon or later dear. Soon or later". He lifted her cheeks and kissed her.
