Breaking Bonds

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

Blaze's POV.

I rolled out of bed with a huge grin on my face. I knew it was there, it had been for weeks, steadily growing bigger every day. Today was Thursday, this meant there were only two days to go until Roxy's sixteenth birthday. My beautiful, amazing Roxanne. I could hardly contain my excitement, two days until I could freely hold the other half of my soul, my world, my life, my mate.

I stood in front of the mirror brushing my teeth, as I wondered off into thought, thinking about the day I found out it was her.

It was my sixteenth birthday and being the future Alpha everyone in the pack was congratulating me. I had come of mating age. Not that it mattered much unless my mate was older than I was, or the same age. To explain why I wasn't excited about being mating age, I'll have to go into a history lesson.

You see, hundreds of years ago the Elders had made a blood oath with the Moon Goddess herself that both mates had to be sixteen or older to act on the bond, and you couldn't feel it until you turned sixteen. In the beginning of time, werewolves felt the bond as soon as they met their mate and usually marked them with a bite to the neck to show this, on the spot regardless of age, but being as we can be so hormonal and driven by lust when we reached our teen years, many of our kind strayed and had casual sex with other wolves and even humans. For those who had already been marked by their mate, the pain the heart and inner wolf went through when they were cheated on, caused many of our kind to kill themselves.

 When our population started to drop by the thousands because of all the suicides, the Elders journeyed to the Moon Goddess' sacred temple and summoned her to human form, begging and pleading her to make a blood oath to limit the age of mating. Agreeing with the terms of the blood oath, the Moon Goddess and Elders conducted the ceremony, hoping that it would prevent the deaths of so many wolves and save our race.

Being sixteen meant that I would know who my mate was the second she touched me. If she was younger than I was, though, I wouldn't be able to act on it until she also came of age. So while, the guys were clapping me on the back with well wishes and the girls were hugging me and kissing my cheeks I felt it. The magical spark that made my heart race, the spark that only my mate could give me. I glanced to my left to see a black haired, hazel-green eyed angel moving her lips away from my cheek and whispering happy birthday to me.

I grabbed my best friend, Baydon's, arm ordering him to follow her and find out who she was and what her age was. He gave me a knowing look before following her through the crowd.

The next ten minutes passed in a haze until he returned and dragged me away by the back of my shirt.

"I have good news and bad news," he told me bluntly. " But first I want to confirm - it's her, isn't it? She's the one."

I nodded my head rapidly in excitement, almost bouncing around in my haste to find out all about her.

Baydon sighed, "Her name is Roxanne, her friends call her Roxy or Rox. Roxanne Lei Spark. She is a femme wolf - obviously from our pack," he stopped there, looking at me worriedly. I growled for him to continue, but he remained silent. I clenched my jaw and asked him straight out.

"Age?"

Baydon gulped and ran his hands through his short blonde hair before whispering something I couldn't understand. I let out another growl, starting to lose my patience with Baydon, my eagerness overflowing to know all about her.

He groaned, "She is fourteen, turning fifteen in two months."

I let out a groan of my own, grabbing fistfuls of my spiky brown hair before bursting out into an angry flow.

"You are fucking kidding me. Fourteen. Shit. Fuck. Fuck. Shit. What the fucking hell. I have to wait fourteen months before I can tell her. Fuck I'll be past my seventeenth birthday by then," I finished off before glancing at Baydon.

"I want her now, right now, in my arms where she belongs. Please tell me your playing some kind of sick prank and I don't really have to wait that long," I ended in a whisper.

Baydon just shook his head sadly at me before saying, "And you know you can't touch her again, or tell her before she is sixteen, or you may anger the Goddess and the Elders."

"Don't remind me," I whined before flopping down on the ground with my head in my hands.

"She is perfect, and I'll just have to be patient, and wait for her to be ready, but until then I want her protected, do you hear me Baydon? Organise it now, make sure she remains safe, I can't do it, so it's up to you until I can," I commanded towards the end. Baydon simply nodded and walked away to start following my orders.

I snapped out of my memories, spat out the toothpaste and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. I walked out of the bathroom, again with a giant grin on my face and started to get ready for school.

"Only two more days until you can hold her Blaze, just two more days," I muttered, out loud, to myself as I grabbed my keys and jogged down the stairs.
