The Rejected Mate novel Chapter 25

The chilly wind whipped strands of my black hair as I ran through the forest, the pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. The stars spread around the sky glittering like small diamonds in the sky.

Tall tress swayed as the wind picked up. I relish in the feeling of wind whipping in my face bringing forth a thrill in me.

The night was quiet just like how liked it, there is something about this serene time of the day that makes me relax. I'm the type of person who likes staying up late, because in those hours the world is so quiet and nobody expects anything from me. I could stare at the wall for all I want and there wouldn't be any consequences. It's so silent and calm, just how I like it.

Usually I like to let loose at this time of the night, when the moon is up and bright. But today is different, today I'm out here for a purpose which I intend to complete as soon as possible. At this time in my life I've come to realise to never take any chance and screw yourself over, and later regret thinking about how things would've gone if you didn't take the chance at protecting your loved ones.

I halt in my steps when the familiar cave comes to sight. It's dark and usually no one would spare a glance towards the dark cave, but I knew better than to ignore things that hid in plain sight, past mistakes teach you better.

It was a old cave in the middle of the no man's land, covered in moss and hidden behind branches that helped hiding it a bit better, it would probably go unseen to a naked human eye but thank god I wasn't a normal human being, thanks to my werewolf genes that played a great part.

Immediately shifting from my wolf side to human, bones snapping in the process. I wear the only article of clothing I had with me for the time being, slipping on the jeans I take careful steps towards the old looking cave.

Upon entering everything appears to be dark, but I knew it was all a trick to hide what was really inside. Stepping in further a dimly lit makeshift room appears before my sight.

I look around I find candles over every corner of the cave, their flames casting a shadow onto the stony walls of the cave. Upon further inspection I see a lot of liquid stuff, probably the potions, herbs, plant like things and elixir the witches used in their witchcraft, and this wasn't far from that. At the corner, there was a perfectly made single bed. The place smelled of all the different herbs and whatever the witch had used before.

"Ahhh, I thought I'd never have a change to meet the Alpha about whom I happen to hear a lot lately, thought you'd never come." A voice breaks the silence.

"Kaya" I address her seriously.

"Oh loosen up, will you? I promise I wouldn't do my witch craft on such a handsome young man" she states trying to flirt.

"Good, you wouldn't like the consequences of messing with me otherwise" Ignoring her last words I reply to her, a clear warning behind my words. Its true, I wouldn't think twice before retaliating especially since she's a witch.

I should've snapped her neck for helping out the rogues and Roman specifically, but if I do that then I wouldn't be able to do what I came here for today.

Werewolfves and witches aren't the best of friend but sometimes they join

forces in time of need and mutual agreement, like an ally.
