Chapter 16
As Darien had been scolding Sarah, the winds had carried Matt’s scent to Alora. Now that she was eighteen, she could confirm who her fated mate was just by their scent. The confirmation made Mora sad, inside her Xena whimpered.
Kain looked at the devastated look on Alora’s face. One moment there had been an anticipatory smile on her face, the next, this. He saw where her gaze was directed. “It’s him isn’t it, he’s your fated mate?”
Alora nodded, then the winds changed again in the opposite direction. Darien was about to start carrying out his plan to humiliate Sarah. When Matthew suddenly stood up straight, almost aggressively. Matt was sniffing the air, scenting the wind, then his gaze suddenly snapped in Alora’s direction.
“Mate.” Matt growled.
Sarah spun and looked at Matt in surprise when he said these words. Sarah knew they were not fated mates, but that didn’t matter to her Clan. It was perfectly acceptable for her to be with Matt, but she knew someday his fated mate would show up and ruin her plans.
That was why when Matt tried to break up with Sarah one day, she had given him a sachet her Aunty Rebecca had given her. Aunty Rebecca told her it would make Matt obedient to her, and her alone. Aunty Rebecca had also given her some other sachets to
make sure her friends remained obedient and loyal to her.

When Matt said the word mate, Sarah looked to see who the bitch trying to steal her path to status and power was. Sarah looked
in the direction he was staring and was instantly enraged. It was the mongrel her mother had birthed, Alora.

Spinning she turned back to Matt, “YOU WILL REJECT HER AND YOU WILL REJECT HER RIGHT NOW MATTHEW!” Sarah shrieked at the top of her lungs.
Matt didn’t seem to hear Sarah, he just started forward, towards Alora. Alora had stayed against Darien’s car until Sarah had shouted her orders for Matt to reject her.
Alora took in a deep breath, then released it, almost sighing. “Better to get it over with now before school starts, I guess.” Alora
said in a tired tone.
She gets up from her position against the car and starts calmly walking forward, intending to meet Matt halfway.
Kain looked at Alora and wondered how she could be so calm, her mate was just ordered to reject her, but then that mate was her
sister’s boyfriend. That was a betrayal most couldn’t tolerate from their mate, let alone an Alpha.
“Goddess! Kain this is so fucked up.” Galen said without using their mind link, his voice strained with sympathetic pain.
“She knew Galen, she knew this would happen.” Kain responded, his heart clenching with what he was about to witness.
Gale shook his head in disbelief, ‘Matt wouldn’t be so stupid, would he?‘ he wondered.
*MATTHEW FROST STONEMAKER! YOU WILL REJECT THAT WHORE RITE NOW! YOUR MINE NOT THAT WORTHLESS WHORE’S!
YOU HEAR ME!” Sarah shrieked again, loud enough to make the ears of those nearby ting.
Darien was shocked by what was happening, he was frozen for a moment. ‘Why?‘ he asked himself, and not for the first time.
Matt and Darien used to be as close as Damien and Xander, Matt’s older brother. Then Matt suddenly changed one day.
At one point he had been nice to Alora and was even her friend. Then Sarah saw Matt and somehow got her claws into him. There had been a brief moment, when they first started going together, that Matt had told Darien he was going to break up with
her.
But that never happened, in fact, the next week Matt had demanded Darien choose between his friendship with Alora, or theirs./2

By then, Alora had been more sister than friend for years, their bond was strong. Unfortunately, when Darien told Matt he refused to choose between his sister and his best friend, Matt had gotten angry.
Matt was so angry he started calling Alora all kinds of names and things that were not true. Infuriating Darien into throwing the first punch in the fight that had ended their friendship. Sarah had a hold on Matt that no one could break. Now Darien understood the utter sadness in Alora’s eyes whenever he had asked her about her potential future mate.
Alora’s denial that Damien wasn’t her mate hadn’t just been based on her thinking she was unworthy of him. It was because she had already known who her mate was going to be. Darien felt a tug on his sleeve, and he looked down into the face of his adorable mate.
