Jackson and I had started removing our clothes so we could shift. We didn't bother going behind a tree anymore, but he couldn't keep his eyes of my whole body and it made me a little self conscious. After I had removed my dress and folded it and Jackson had folded up his shirt and jeans, we heard a rustling in the trees.

"Who's out there?" I called out using my alpha voice.

Elliot's wolf came trotting out and saw us half naked. That could not have looked good to him. Hunter started growling and barking threateningly at me and Jackson.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!? WERE YOU FUCKING MY MATE, JACKSON?!? AND YOU, YOU FUCKING BITCH! ARE YOU REALLY LEAVING ME, YOUR MATE, FOR THIS PIECE OF SHIT?!? YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING WHORE! I, ALPHA ELLIOT, REJECT YOU, STELLA DEA, AS MATE AND I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL!

Elliot all of a sudden started ranting through our heads but when he formally rejected me, it felt like my heart was being ripped out. I collapsed to the ground in pain and curled up into a fetal position. The pain was unbearable. I think someone actually cutting out my heart would have hurt less.

I could feel Ana in more pain than me. She whimpered loudly and eventually I couldn't feel her anymore. I knew she was there because I still felt that weight and pull on my mind, but I couldn't feel her or hear her anymore. Jackson tried to rush over to me to help but Elliot wouldn't let him. He used his alpha voice to keep Jackson at bay. At some point, Elliot must have switched back to human form.

"Jackson, due to your crimes against this pack, I, Alpha Elliot, hereby banish you from the Mooncrest Alliance Pack and condemn you to an eternity of living a rogue lifestyle," Elliot announced as Jackson's pack mark disappeared and he screamed in pain. Additionally, Elliot took out a blade and cut his shoulder where his pack mark was and where his mate mark would have been.

"As punishment for stealing an Alpha's mate, you will now never find your mate and if you happen to, she will only know. You will not be able to sense her. And this mark will make her aware you are not a good wolf. You are condemned to an eternity of loneliness."

Jackson collapsed in pain and grabbed his shoulder. His breathing shortened drastically, like the air in his lungs was being vacuumed out of him.

"Get out of my territory," Elliot said cruelly.

By now, I had managed to get the pain under control but everything still hurt.

"Elliot! Stop this!" I screamed loudly.

"Shut up, you stupid bitch!" Elliot kicked me right in the face and I could feel the blood pouring out of my nose.

My vision crossed as I saw him walking over to Jackson. He punched Jackson repeatedly and continuously kicked him. I saw Elliot draw his blade again and I realized that he was going to kill Jackson.

I felt something surge through me, unlike anything I had ever felt. I transformed into my wolf, shredding my clothes in the process. While I underwent my transformation, wind picked up and swirled around me heavily.

Ana, whatever happens you have to stay out of this.

I trust you, Stella.

I finished my transformation and I stood taller, broader, and stronger than I ever had. My wolf felt like it was a completely different structure.

I thought my original form was badass.

I had no words for my new wolf.

Elliot turned around and saw me shift. His eyes filled with fear as my power literally surfaced from every pore of my body. Every strand of fur was on some sort of magical fire. Elliot transformed quickly, giving Jackson time to back away.

Elliot moved forward and growled at me. I growled louder than he did and Elliot visibly shrunk back. By now, the sun had set and the stars were out. The shined brighter than they should have and ass the night became darker, my glow became brighter. I menacingly stalked towards Elliot and growled, baring my teeth.

I deny our bond.

I mind linked him and his wolf collapsed. He whimpered in pain as if he was dying. Even thought he had rejected me, we still had a bond. But I had broken off our bond.

I deny your wolf.

Elliot started howling as he slowly transformed into being human.

I deny you the privilege of having your other halves.

I was standing over Elliot's shaking body as he screamed.

I deny you the Moon. And I deny you the stars.

The flames that were dancing around me spread to Elliot and swirled around him. I could see his wolf being ripped out of him, all his power being taken away. Elliot laid there, shivering naked. I turned away from him and shifted back to my human form.
