REJECT ME.

Oceana's Pov.

"That's what I'm also saying, how is that possible and I still couldn't find my answer to the mystery of why you would absolutely be my mate who is chosen by the moon goddess. Anyway, it should be a mistake.' He reasoned.

"Why didn't you say anything to me and all this time I have been searching for my mate, going from one ceremony to another, I once began to have these certain thoughts that maybe I am wolfless." I softly asked with concern.

"You were just a child, it was hard keeping it away from you, yet I tried and I'm sorry for taking this long to say it." He took his hand away from me.

"What do you want me to do now, you've made me suffer so much.' I said through tears, my voice choked at my words.

"I'm sorry about what you went through, let's do the needful since I'm here now.'

"And what is that?" I asked with curiosity.

"Reject me." It took me by surprise, several minutes to get a sense of what he just said.

"What? I should reject you?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes, better for the both of us, you are getting married soon and I will not like anything hindering between us. Do you understand, my love?"

"Gerard.' I whispered. "We haven't met each other for years and this is what you say to me, how hilarious." I snapped and he held both of my shoulders, and got really close to me, I could feel his hot breath on my face.

My heart skipped.

Suddenly, I wanted to do all sorts of things to him, kiss him, touch him and hug him, not to ever let him go again. For in the sense that he is my mate still shocks me, I never expected my fate to turn out this way, I have always wanted my life to be filled with blissful memories with the one I love, my mate and my brothers alongside me, congratulating me on my wedding day, giving me flowers and presents.

I love them and I look up to them so much as my role models, finding out he was my mate didn't make me disgusted at all. I felt so happy he was fated to me, though he is my brother, I don't care anymore. What gives, does it matter if he is my brother, I love him for who he is.

"I'm sorry, we have to part ways, I don't want to have anything to do with you or ruin your life, I can only say that we have to let go of each other." I raised my toes up and kissed him.

I could feel he was stunned at what I just did as he swallowed. I needed to know how it felt like, kissing him, how awkward it would be, would it be abnormal or disgusting.

To my dismay, to my excitement, it felt wonderful, his lips were so soft and firm.

I can't explain this feeling of mine, but he accepted me, kisses me back and we both roughly smooched each other's lips, his hands roamed around my fat ass, as he carries me up and put me down on the table, moaning and groaning with lust, his lips were grabbed my lips as he sucked them, I wrapped my arms around his neck as we continued kissing, including my legs fastened around his waist, I felt the bulge in his trouser.

Fuck, I was enjoying this and released my pheromones on him.

Suddenly, he pushed me away from him. "Let's cut this off, Oceana."

"I'm not rejecting you, I'm not sitting by…"

"WE ARE SIBLINGS." He yelled, ruffling through his hair. "You kissed me, Oceana, did you forget that I'm your brother? I think I should remind you about that, so you will know what I'm thinking about."

"If you are my mate, was that the reason you've always been away from home," I asked.

"Yes, that's the reason and we have to stop this, it is not right." He licked his lips and rubbed off my lipstick. "This is insane," he muttered.

"I don't care if you are my brother." I shook my head. "I don't give a damn, you are my mate and that's all that matters." I was persuaded by these feelings and sensations running through my bones, how could I let him go?

"You are an Alpha, you should know this, we can't be mates, we are siblings. Siblings can't be mates, Oceana." He turned away from me.

"I don't care, you are the one I want.' I went to him, grabbed his shoulders. Gerard frowned and shoved me away from him.

"Don't come close and be ruled by your feelings…"

"I think I understand now, why I always think about you," I revealed. "The reason why I always yearned for you is because you are mine, Gérard."

He began laughing and sat down on a chair opposite me and looked up at me. "You are just a child, you will find someone you truly love soon, you are saying this because you don't have someone you are in love with." He got up and walked past me.

"Is this how you choose to behave after fucking six years? You never called me or asked how I was doing,' I turned to him with tears spilling down my cheeks, my heart was aching. "You…you pushed me out of the way without any remorse, you came back out of nowhere and you want me to reject you. What sort of a brother are you?'

"Yes, keep that in mind and don't ever forget, I am your brother, Oceana.'

"And my mate.' I talked back. "All these years, you yearned for me, you think I have forgotten how you were masturbating because of me, that proves it all."

"Oceana, let's forget this ever happened. You are getting married soon, let's go back to how we were, don't spit out nonsense."

"Gerard.' I shouted.

The door opened and Carmine came in with my father. "What's going on here?' My father's dark tone rushed through my veins, I clumped down the table and shook my head. "It's nothing, I'm just happy to see both of my brothers." I was happy to see them and at the same time disappointed. What were they hiding? Gérard just told me that he has been my mate. How could I not have felt it, back then.

Kissing him earlier, I felt it and knew he was saying the truth.

"Oceana,' my father called me with a worried look. I dashed past him and ran to my room, shutting the door. The fear, anxiety, and of being so perfect made me burst into tears, as I lay down on my bed and cried so bitterly.

The next day, I couldn't leave my room. I stayed in my bed all day crying till the next morning and my wolf consoling me.

That's the reason he was not always home, because of me, he left home and hardly stayed because I was his mate, he was trying everything possible to hide himself.

We are both destined to stay together, I can understand why I never saw him, and I can understand the reason my heart aches whenever I think of him.

I realize it now, the signs, the sleepless nights were all him.

I was in love with him, in love with my brother.

Was that even possible?

How could I be in love with my brother, I wondered and yet, it was the truth.

I was in love with Gérard, why did the moon goddess have to grant me a mate from my flesh and blood?

He is my brother. I felt bad, recalling his words yesterday broke my heart. Why, just why should Gérard be my first love?

It excited me the minute he said he was my mate and at the same time I felt disappointed. If he wanted to reject me, he could have done it a long time ago, why inform me now?

I miss him. I miss and love my brother but the clan will never allow us to be together, it's strictly against the rules and forbidden for siblings to be mates.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

I got up and wiped off my tears, jumping out of the bed to see who it was. I unlocked the door and my mother was standing in front of the door dressed majestically as always as she walked into my room without a word.

I sighed and shut the door, turning to her as she sat down on my bed. "I heard you ran out of the chambers after seeing your brothers yesterday, what's going on, Oceana?" She softly asked.

"Nothing is going on, Mother." I frowned and sat down on my white couch beside the bed in the clothes I came with from my school yesterday. After hearing the news from Gérard, I couldn't take a bath, nor eat the food that was brought to me yesterday. I was just too weak to get up and eat, besides I lost my appetite in the process of my sobbing and all.

"Mom, what do you think is going on with me?"

"How will I know, that's why I came to ask you, you were weeping. Your brothers refused to tell me anything and kept insisting there was nothing wrong with you. Though, I don't believe that because you hardly shed tears, my dear, what's the matter, let me know so I can help you to solve it, my sweetheart." She spoke, her voice was filled with concern but she couldn't help me.

This is not something that needs to be solved, this is my fate, my destiny that I am talking about, what will her reaction be, if she discovers my brother is my mate?

Wouldn't she be disgusted?

"Mom, this is not something you can solve simply because you are Luna, this is beyond you and you can't stop it," I revealed, putting my feet on the couch and pushing my knees to my cold chest, indirectly referring to Gerard. "No matter what you do," I muttered.

"I don't understand, what is beyond me, tell me and let's…"

"Mom,' With a broken voice, I said. "I don't want to get married to that Alpha, I've heard a lot about him, he's not a good man."

I changed the topic, I know she will be pissed at my words, I can't tell her about Gérard, all hell will break loose if I do such a thing, I can't help it, it will break her heart.

Her daughter was in love with the boy she gave birth to, it will damage her spirit.

"Is that what's bothering you, my dear?'

I swallowed. "Yes, Mom." I lied.

"My dear, you are the daughter of the ten realms, everything is at your privilege…"

I quickly interrupted. "I don't want to get married to him, I know what it's like being with him."

"He's a good man, Oceana, a good Alpha who has contributed so much for this clan, and lay down his life for everyone, your father demanded to grant him a favor and he asked for your hand in marriage, everyone adores him, he's nearly the top in rank, a strong brown wolf who no one dares to bring up a combat before him." She explained. "He's a good Alpha, from a good family, his reputation, and his image both with his family are clean, pure blood from the Mackenzie Clan, they are the fastest wolf alive in history and hardly any wolf outrun them, can't you see we want the best for you."

"Mom, you are not giving me the best, I don't care where he comes from, how good his reputation is, you don't even know what he likes, what he dislikes, if he has anger issues, difficulties in understanding someone, you don't know that and you are gifting him to me."
