Filed to story: Oh For Mates Sake Free Online

Clover, don’t overthink this.

Please don’t Sheena. I wanted to have a family so badly. I wanted to belong to a pack. I wanted love…

My breath halted as I realized what I could have done. No matter what Sheena was saying, if I had willed Sion to me… the idea hurt. My throat closed and a sharp pain shot through my chest. I lowered my head and looked down at my hands. What had I done? I stared at my fingers, desperate for the truth. Did I really force a bond with Sion? Could my subconscious have been pulling the strings like a puppet master, guiding Sion towards me, even if I hadn’t known? A wave of nausea and guilt washed over me as I stared at my trembling hands. Call Me Bree tried to make him hers. Did I do the same thing?

You are not like her! I heard Sheena bark angrily in my head.

Maybe not exactly, but if I forced a mate bond, then Sion’s true mate is still out there.

He loves you!

Because I made him think he loved me. My lips parted as I looked down at the demon below. What if Hazel really was his true mate? I know Reapus said he manipulated the mate bond to help guide us… but… I felt so confused. I suddenly felt very lonely. What if all of my relationships were because I willed them? Denny, Jude, and Joey… what if I willed their friendship? Logan, Conner, and Kai…how could I ever know what was real?

The witch in front of me cackled. “You finally realize it! You’re just like me. You manipulate and control everyone around you. You’re not special. You’re just a pathetic little she-wolf who will do whatever it takes to get what she wants.”

I gritted my teeth and pushed against the barrier with all my might. “That’s not true! I love Sion! I didn’t manipulate him! I would have never done that on purpose.”

The witch just laughed harder. “Love? Ha! You don’t even know what love is. You’re just a selfish little creature who wants everyone to adore her. A sheya is a terrifying creature. They bend the wills of everyone around them. People are nothing more than puppets to you.”

I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes. Was she right? Was I really that terrible of a person? I shook my head and took a deep breath. No. I knew what love was. I loved Sion with every fiber of my being. I don’t know if I manipulated Sion, but my feelings for him were real. I couldn’t think about this right now. I would figure it out later and what that would mean moving forward.

Right now, this bi.tch needed to die. I pushed harder on the barrier, determined to break through.

“Sion!”

I glanced down hearing Demetri’s deep voice. Sion had his head bowed low towards Logan and Odell, but immediately his eyes were drawn to me like two electrified magnets. His head lifted skyward as if he was hunting for something… someone… me. He could sense I was here. His golden eyes seemed to lock with mine in an intense, enigmatic gaze. I wasn’t sure if he could actually see me or was just able to locate my presence.

“Tsk.” I heard Call Me Bree hiss. “How could Darcia have lost?!”

Sion’s body seethed with energy as he morphed into Anubis. His voice carried like a clap of thunder, reverberating through the air with unyielding vigor, “Demetri! Conner! Stay back!” He strode towards the demon with unparalleled confidence. I had no doubt that they would be safe now, but I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen next.

“So, the rumors were true.” Call Me Bree began to laugh, and I turned my gaze to her. “It is hilarious, isn’t it? He ended up dying and becoming a soul collector. He is like the garbage man of souls. Look what you have done to him. He was a respectable Alpha and had everything going for him. Now he is a slave.”

“He is powerful. He isn’t a slave. It isn’t like that.”

The witch cackled again. “You really are delusional. He is a host for Anubis now. He is no longer the same Sion. He is tainted. A soul collector for Reapus. He is a lap dog for death.” Call Me Bree sneered at me. “All thanks to you. I can see how you are good for him.” She said in a mocking tone.

I gritted my teeth, refusing to show her that her words had gotten to me. I don’t know if it was so much that her words got to me, or if it was because of my own self-doubt.

“You—” I began, but Sion’s furious growl interrupted our conversation. He had reached the demon and the two of them were now locked in a fierce battle. Sion moved at lightning-fast speed, his movements fluid and precise as he dodged the demon’s attacks and launched his own. The demon was larger and more brutish, relying on sheer force to overpower her opponent. Sion, however, seemed calm and collected. As if the battle was already won. And he would win… I already knew that. It was obvious by looking at the battle.

I glared at Call Me Bree with unbridled fury, my nostrils flaring in anger. No longer would I stand helplessly while someone else got the honor of claiming the kill. The taste of her blood was already on my tongue, and I was not going to let it go.

I focused all of my energy on breaking through the barrier, feeling the strain on my muscles as I pushed and pushed. Sweat dripped down my forehead and my breathing came in short gasps, but I refused to give up. I watched as white cracks formed at my fingertips. Call Me Bree stepped away from the barrier and shook her head.

“Impossible.” She muttered as intense pressure built up in my body. I was pushing past my limits, but I didn’t care. I was going to end this. With one final burst of energy, I broke through the barrier and surged forward towards the battle. She tried to run, but I was too fast.

My claws elongated as my fangs grew in anger. I pounced on her, my claws digging into her flesh. Blood splattered over me, the metallic scent filling my nostrils. She was using all of her power to hold the astral plane and had nothing left to fight against me.

My teeth bared as I growled ferociously, sinking them into her flesh. Blood flowed from her wounds, but I didn’t let up. I continued to attack, fueled by a powerful rage that burned within me.

“This changes nothing. You are just like me! You have done the same thing!” She screamed and then a pulsating energy flung me away from her. Her body shifted into her sandy colored wolf. She was going to fight against me in her wolf form?! This fight was already over.

I shifted into Sheena, and our two wolves stood adjacent to each other. I snarled and raced towards her; my fangs bared. She attempted to strike me with her front paws, but I had no intention of letting her. Her left side was now open. I rammed into her body, and she spun around, the momentum throwing her off balance. She spun around, her large, sharp teeth grazed my flesh and she bit into my shoulder. Her movements were so fast I barely registered that she was coming towards me until I felt the pain.

She must have enchanted herself. There was no other explanation. I attempted to attack her, but she had already left. I crouched and sprang forward, ramming my body into her. She tumbled across the astral plane, her body colliding into an invisible force. It was clear that this was a strain on her body. She couldn’t keep it up.

Knowing she was being depleted, I continued my onslaught. I didn’t give her a chance to catch her breath. I tore at her body, ripping into her flesh and relishing in the feeling of her warm blood dripping down my chin. I pinned down her body, my paws wrapped around her neck, and I squeezed as hard as I could, not letting up as her eyes bulged and her body twisted frantically. Her blood spurted across the astral plane. Her eyes widened with fear as I glared back at her. With a final snarl, I ripped her throat out, silencing her forever. Her body crumpled to the ground, and I stood over her, panting heavily. I felt a sense of satisfaction wash over me, knowing that I had finally taken revenge for all the pain and suffering she had caused.

I sank into the invisible barrier, feeling my body crushed by an unseen force. The area around me seemed to crumble away as if being slowly consumed by some unseen darkness. I peered down to see Sion slice through the neck of the demon, severing its head in one swift and fierce movement. Blood sprayed up in a gruesome arc, splattering over Sion’s face before he threw the head away in disgust. His gaze then lifted to the sky, once again searching for me.

I stayed there quietly waiting for the magic to diminish. The battle had been won… but I had lost something inside of me.

Clover

I shifted back to my human form and assessed the blood on my body. Most of it belonged to the witch but some was mine. My wounds were almost healed when the world around me began to warp. One moment I was above everyone, and the next I was back on the ground.

“Clover!” Sion said, jogging over towards me. He had shifted back from Anubis and his eyes were wandering over me making sure I was okay. I noticed Conner had a hold of Taylor. Looks like she gave up without a fight after Hazel went down. My eyes moved back to Sion. I had a lot of emotions bottled up inside of me, but right now wasn’t the time.

I turned away from him and ran towards Logan and Odell. Demetri was kneeling next to both of them. His face was crestfallen as he looked up at me, he shook his head.

“I’m sorry Clover…” Demetri said and I skidded on my knees next to them. “They aren’t going to make it.” I felt Sion kneel next to me. He placed his hand on my back to offer me comfort, but it didn’t.

Everything was wrong. We won. The battle was over, but I couldn’t stand the pain of losing anyone else. I didn’t feel like I deserved Sion’s touch. I scooted away from him on my knees. I didn’t dare look at him and kept my eyes focused on Odell and Logan.

“Please… you two have to make it. I can’t handle losing anyone else.” I watched as their chests rose and fell with deep labored breaths. Their eyes were closed, and they remained unresponsive.

“Clover, I know it is painful but—” Sion began to say but I shook my head.
