Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 12

Even though I was away for so long, I still managed to stay in touch with Dylan and Chloe. While being here they kept me up-to-date with all that was going on back home. What I didn't expect is how different Kyle was after I left. Apparently, he had become deeply depressed and stayed home for a few weeks. I know that he deserved the pain he was going through but it didn't help that my heart clenched in pain for him, not wanting him to have to go through that. Dylan continued to explain that after a few months Kyle was completely different from his old self. He no longer went out partying all the time and decided to rather step up and be the Alpha his pack deserved. What had everyone in shock though was when Kyle had called a pack meeting, finally announcing that I was indeed his mate.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that the Kyle Black, would declare me as his mate. I didn't believe that he would regret rejecting me, and yet here we are. Sure, I wasn't over the fact that he did it, I was still deeply hurt but it seemed that, that anger I was holding onto was slowly fading away with how much good he was putting into the world now. I know it's cheesy, sue me.

What angered me though was right after he announced that I was his mate, was the fact that he believed I was dead. That I had killed myself. Dylan explained that Kyle could barely get the words out before he was a crying mess. Where on bloody earth did, he get the idea that I was dead?! Both Dylan and Chloe tried asking where he heard that but Kyle always ignored the question and walked away, pain radiating in his eyes. They both tried telling Kyle multiple times that I was alive, but he never wanted to believe them, saying that they were just giving him false hope. After that, they never got another chance to speak to him. He was always just throwing himself into his pack duties and school. Well he was going to believe soon enough when I get back.

I shook my head from my thoughts and continued making my way to Will's room, wanting to know what time we were leaving tomorrow. I didn't bother knocking and just walked right in. Big mistake. I screamed bloody murder, closing my eyes tightly while trying to rid the scene that I had just witnessed from my memory.

"My poor virgin eyes! Put on some damn clothes!" I yelled at them, turning to face now with my eyes still shut tightly.

"Well maybe if you had the decency to knock, you wouldn't have had to see that." He mocked as I heard them moving around the room behind me. I scoffed but didn't reply until I heard him say that I could turn around.

"So, what do you want, cockblock?" He teased as he sat down on the bed next to his mate. I growled at the nickname.

"We leave at 7 tonight. Now get out." He stated, giving me a look. I put my hands up in surrender, knowing exactly what was about to happen. I did not need to be here and witness that once again, so I quickly ran out and made my way to the training hall.

Today was my last day of training with the Ancients. The Moon Goddess had appointed all of them with different powers so they could train the next-in-line Moon Goddess, which would be me. They apparently weren't the first wolves to roam the Earth but they have lived for over 1000 years. They will finally start ageing once again when I appoint the new ten Ancient Wolves. I knew it was a big decision to make, but as they explained when the time was right, I would know who would be deserving of the title.

When training began, they pushed it over my limit, always telling me that I need to be ready for the toughest of choices from now on. Trying to master ten powers was difficult, they made sure of it. They explained that ever Moon Goddess has an eleventh power, no one knew what it was, but it would come to me at a time that was most needed. My powers varied in many areas: Water, earth, air, fire, teleportation, levitation, hypnosis, shape shifting, mind reading and finally healing.
