Revelations... by Seery Awbrey (free ebook novel .TXT) 📕

The rain poured on me as I ran to him.  I could barely make out his dark brown eyes due to the hot salty tears falling out of my own.  My long blonde hair stuck to my face like glue.  My white dress and makeup were completely ruined and my flowers had disappeared.

I jumped on him wrapping my arms tightly around his neck crying into his shoulder.  He was startled but slowly enclosed me the way I should have let him a long time ago.

“What are you doing?  Your free why would you return to the monster who prolonged your happiness for so long?”

“Because...I realized something as I walked down that alter.  I realized that...I love you, I love you Aiden, and I don't care if you're a monster or an angle or just a figment of my imagination because I love you.  If I could only see you in my dreams I would sleep forever.  If I could rip my heart from my chest I would give it to you.  And if I never loved you I would die hollow and empty from never having known you.  Earlier my mother said something, she said everyone will hurt you you just need to find out who is worth the pain, and Aiden, you're worth it...”  more tears spilled out of my eyes.

“No, I am not for you and you are not for me.  I am the monster that haunts peoples nightmares and you are the light that they seek for solace.  I am the epitome of dark while you are the epitome of light.  We can never be together because you make me want to be good, and to be good is to let you go.  Please...Please just go.”

“So thats what's good?  Pushing me away, breaking my heart, destroying my soul?!  You can't push me away I won't go!  I belong to you and you only and you belong to me!”  I pushed away from him anger boiling inside of me.

“You belong to Xavier and you know it!  He is good and can promise you a long safe life!  Don't be stupid...”  He turned around and started walking away.

“Why do you think I was reincarnated?  So I could be with Xavier?  Have a long safe life?  I was reincarnated so I could be with you dummy!”

He turned to me and looked me in the eyes.  At first I saw pain but it was quickly replaced by determination.  He stalked towards me slowly and every step he took made my heart pound faster.  In a matter of seconds my body was pinned against the tree behind me.  Aidan's face loomed dangerously close to mine and I know that any longer like this would push me over the edge of sanity.

“Wake up!”

“Huh?”

“Ana!  Wake up you're going to miss your own wedding dear.”  The words of my mother fell past Aiden's mouth.  I felt myself being pulled through a rabbit hole and woke up to my instantly sore bum hitting the ground.

I woke up to a hard floor hysterical laughing and sun in my eyes not exactly ideal if you ask me...especially for my wedding day!  

“I swear you would sleep through a tsunami girl!”  My mothers sweet southern drawl, that somehow skipped me, said laughing hysterically.

“Its not my fault, sleep just calls too me..” I slurred already falling back into the state of bliss known as sweet sweet sleep.

“Ana Rosa Moon!  Don't you dare go back to sleep on me!  You have a wedding to attend!  And your the one getting married!”  

Ugh oh yah i forgot about that...I honestly don't get it how soul mates work and stuff.  Don't get me wrong Xavy is awesome!  I mean we grew up together our entire lives I couldn't imagine life without him its just that...I don't know.  All my friend have found there mates and they can't seem to get away from each other.  But Xavy and I?  We couldn't care less really.  I mean I love him i rally do but its like a brother kinda love, and i'm pretty sure he feels the same way its just....our parents.  They have alwys pushed us together like our lives depended on it.  

I pulled myself off the floor and walked over too the bathroom stopping to stare st my reflection in the miror.  My blue eyes stared back at me as I took in my almost perfectly semetrical face, framed by Straight golden locks that flowed to my waist.  My waist was perfect along with the rest of my body that was in the perfect hour glass figure.  My mother was always going on and on about how perfect my and Xavys children will be.  

Where I have blonde hair Xavys is pich black like his wolf.  His eyes are a beautiful blue that has always worked in his favor when comming to girls.  Except for me.  I don't understand how Xavy and I are mates it just doesnt sound right.

“Ana dear, what ever were you dreaming about that couldn't wait till after the wedding?”

“Nothing mom just had a late night, uh bad stomach.”  I almost felt bad at how easily I lied to my mother...almost.  The truth is that  went to bed feeling amazing, and pretty early too.  Its just that dream...I've had it for as long as I can remember.  You know how everyone in your dreams you have seen before?  Well i'm pretty sure I would remember seeing him...He was godlike perfection.  The best part was that...he loved me.  At least in the dream he did.  

“Its only a dream..”  I wisper to myself taking a deep breath and splashing icy water on my face.

“What was that deer?” my mother asked peeking her peeking her chesnut brown head into the bathroom.

“Nothing.”

“Okay well as you know the wolf rituals are tonight just to show the high council that you are both ready to become a mated pair.  Then tomorrow is the actual human wedding.  So-”

“Hey mom?”

“Yes sweetie?”

“What if we aren't ready to become a mated pair?”

“Well don't worry cause i'm sure Xavier is ready but then the council will decline your request.  Then you wait till you are both ready.  Or theres a rare instance where two arnte actually mates and try but the council rejects and you arnte allowed to see each other till you have both found your actual mate...But don't worry things will go great.”  she said walking up behind me and stroking my hair as we both stared at our reflections.  I stay quiet thinking about what she says...But all that was stuck in my head was, Xavy might not be my mate...I might have a chance a passionate, wild, crazy love!  I smile at the thought and my mother smiles back, if she only knew we were smiling for opposite reasons...

(Xaviers POV)

I woke up with a huge head ache.  I hate the thought of mating Ana.  I mean I love her but she is not my mate and I know it....I know cause I read my fathers files once.  Ana and I have been set up.  She has a mate somewhwere some dude, Ardrian?  No Aven or Aiden I can't remember somthing like that.  I have a mate too her name is Gwen...Absolutly beautifl.  All I know is that she has raven hair and is in the vamp slave trade...All thanks to my one and only amazing father.  As soon as he found that I had a REAL mate he made her family go out of the pack and all were classified as rouges.  However to save her family she sold herself to the slave trade...My loving mate.  I know that the council will not approve of my and Anas bonding...At least I hope they don't.  If they do I will have to regect Ana and go in search of my real mate.  I hope I don't hurt her.

After a trully gruling day here i stood. Ready to her the words from the council.  Ready to be eternally bound to Xavier.  It felt wrong and unnatual.  I can't even imagine a life with him that way.  I know this isnt how it should happen, but we are mates.  We have known this all along but i still cannot wrap my head around it.  The man in my dreams haunts me...but not in the bad way.  Instead of haunting my night mares he invades my wildest fantasies.  My body calls to him and my wolf howls in my sleep begging and whinning for him.   But he is not our mate I tell her.  He is a figment of our imagination.

Never will we actually touch his cool soft skin.  Never will my lips land on his.  Never shal I feel the extasy of being near him.  Never shall our breathe mingle leaving the suspense of what could, and should, be.  Forever I shall long for him.  Seeing him only in my dreams as I rise Xavy an d Is children.  The anchient books, I have been taught, are wrong.  They all statted that the mate bond was only about love and compassion not matteeing about silly mortal endevors such as lust for power and wealth.  In recent years it has shown that not only does the mate bond not care for wealth and power, it also throws away any boundries between the mythical realms.  Such as fairies, vampires, werewolves ect.

I hear screams erupt all around me pulling me out of my daze.  I look over a t avy and see him looking at the high council as a small almost nonexistant smile crosses his features.  I look to the council and the man at the center raises his eyebrows.  

“Did you not hear me my dear?  You and this man are certainly not mates far from it actually.  I can see it from a mile away you hold no true mate love for this man and none from him iether....You may go.”  He says in a loud booming voice.

“What?”  I ask a retorical question.

“Here I come Gwen.” I hear Xavy whisper as I look over at him.  He looks at me smiles and embraces me in a bear hug...Just like my beloved brother he has always been.  

“You knew this was wrong right? You didn't think.”
