Page 5 of Resisting Fate

I back Ryker up as the new alpha, which I can tell is a shock to everyone.

I have a feeling he’s going to do a lot of good for this pack.

He’s exactly what we need.

“You should leave now, son. Get some rest. She will be fine,” Scott says. I turn around and face him.

“I can’t,” I whisper.

He nods his head in understanding. “I won’t pretend to understand what you are going through. You two need to work through this on your own. It’s up to her if she’s going to forgive you or not. You can’t force it.”

“I know. I’m not going to, but I don’t think I could physically leave. My wolf won’t let me. I’ll stay out here. Don’t worry. I won’t pressure her into anything. I just can’t leave yet,” I say.

He nods his head without say anything and walks inside.

I decide to shift so that I would be more comfortable.

I take off my clothes and fold them on the chair beside me.

I let the change take over me and let my wolf pace the porch for a few minutes. When he realises our mate isn’t coming out to see us, he lays his head down and faces the window to where we know she is.

We stare for hours. Sleep never comes.

I peeked out the window and saw Isaac change into his wolf and pace. I move so that I’m not in view of him, but I can still see him.

I hate how my wolf seems to calm down now that she has him in her sights.

She whimpers inside of me when I refuse to head towards our mate.

He doesn’t want us. Not really.

I was nothing but a pathetic human.

The words he spit at me when he found out I was his mate repeat over and over again in my head.

His wolf may want me, but he doesn’t. Almost losing me is probably what pushed all this guilt forward.

Now that I’m changed, it appears I’m now considered by him to be good enough to be his mate.

He has another thing coming if he thinks I’m just going to swoon and jump into his arms.

Why does my mate have to be both ridiculously gorgeous and an asshole?

I don’t have a good memory of him growing up. I always knew who he was and could never see what Penelope saw in him.

Fate seems to be a real asshole.

Why would fate pair people who are completely opposite from each other? It honestly makes no sense. Sure, in the end it worked out for Ryker and Penelope, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to work for everyone else.

I stare at the wolf that fate would deem as mine and I hate the pull I feel towards him. The anger is burning up inside of me that this is what’s in store for me. My life had completely changed in the blink of an eye; heck, I can’t even see my parents right away which is just icing on top of the cake.

I would love to have my parents wrap me up in their arms and tell me everything is going to be okay.

How can I hate someone so much? My wolf doesn’t want to live without him, but I would be perfectly fine if I never saw him again.

I won’t take Isaac Kingston as my mate. Ever.
