Chapter Five

Rex pov.

Den has been looking like a zombie this couple of days, he has not been sleeping or eating well and it scares me. He goes to the human world every single day and spends hours looking for his mate and with no luck comes back with grim face.

Justin and I have been taking care of his responsibility as beta so that he can put all his attention on looking for his mate. I am trying to be positive and trying to convince him that the moon goddess did not take back his mate bond because that is not how that works.

His guilt is blinding him, he has always thought that he didn't deserve love so this situation is kind of reassuring his self hate. He keeps repeating that he is at fault for all the bullshit that has happened in his life because he was not strong enough which is stupid of him.

He did lose her scent which is possible. Every creature has a specific scent on them and it can be modified with perfumes and stuff like that but it can not just go away. Even when you are dead I'II be able to sniff the direction you came from days after you have been there.

The moon goddess might have taken the bond away thus making it hard for Den to track her or she might have taken a corner and considering Den had not being able to memorize her scent well. It might have gotten confusing for him since he was in a new place and it was crowded. These are the two options, Den is taking that an all powerful being will take a time out of her busy day to concentrate on Denny boy which seems a little self centered of him.

I am the sane one so I will pick option number two. I did tell him that if he needs any kind of help, me and Justin are going to be there. It's been five days and he has not asked for any help even though he looks like he has been hit by a bus.

The mate bond is a connection between two people who have been made to be together. It is a strong connection that is very hard to be broken. It's just so special that you can find someone who was made for you and you just click, you know. Since the bedtime stories my mom told me, I knew it was something I wanted, just someone for me.

Someone who you don't have to say anything, there the other half of you. Someone who is going to understand you and be there for you at anytime.

I have always seen the good side of mate bond, I know there are negative results from it. Example one if your mate dies you could be suicidal because you feel like a piece of you has been ripped off. Two if your mate does not want to be with you they can cut off the bond, just say you don't consent and the bond is gone. This situation will cause depression to the both of you.

It's moon goddess's way of saying you 'better do what I say or else'. The consequences of losing your mate or rejecting your mate is too great. It's not like it's forced, the moon goddess does choose who is going to be the best choice for you and your life and she is rarely wrong considering rejecting a mate has never been heard of.

She did decide not to give any of the leaders of this pack a mate for a century and a half. A long time ago an alpha killed his mate and then his son tried the same and it seems the moon goddess got really mad cause she decided not to give the following leaders mates.

She might have thought the next generation of the leaders did not deserve an other half and she was right considering how murderous they were. We thought for a long time since our fathers and grand fathers were cursed in this aspect so were we until Justin.

When Justin met Basil I was so damn happy, Basil was kind of my hope that the curse was not passed down to us. There was a a meeting with the next door pack and Basil did decide to come with his Alpha.

When Basil first saw Justin, he screamed so damn hard, we all got at of our offices and homes to see what was going on. Getting out what we Saw was Basil hanging off Justin by the arm and looking like he was not going to let go anytime and Justin looking awkward and not knowing what to do.

Basil signed the paperwork for moving to our pack the same day and got authorization from his Alpha and just sent his friend to get his stuff because in his own words was " I am not leaving my man." Justin did find a half naked snoring mate on his bed when got from his duties as gamma. He did not know what do cause he is very socially awkward and decided to sleep in the next room and the next morning found Basil snoring down his ear.

That is what I want, not really someone who is a big hopeless romantic like me but someone who is going to be there for me.

Today I am helping fix one of the schools in our pack, a kid wolfed out and destroyed half of a class. Thankfully he had help from the teachers, he is one strong wolf for a ten year old. He did turn really early but it does happen sometimes. The earliest turning was me when I was seven, seeing your mom die in front of you does that.

My father was so proud of me, he had a big smile for a week while I was very much traumatized. People do turn to protect them to make themselves feel better and for some reason by body thought it was best for a seven year old to break every bone in their body for safety.

But being in this reformed pack that we all worked for makes it all worth it.
