Thought I'd do something to mix it up so this is in Seth's perspective. If you don't remember who Seth is, that's Baila's ex-mate. Hope you guys like it! Don't forget to comment and Vote. P.S. Picture of Seth on the side.

Chapter 7:

Seth's POV right before Baila got marked....

The atmosphere was loud and booming like any good party should be. Today though I just felt blah. Lately, my wolf was really starting to drive me crazy about this mate thing. He is always talking about Baila and I'm sick of it. What is Baila doing right now? Does Baila's wolf miss him? Why did I reject Baila? Baila! Baila! Baila! That girl is all I hear about now. I'm starting to block him out more often than not because of his constant chattering.

Laughter brought my attention back to the dance floor as I watched my girlfriend, Wendy, dance with her friends. I don't know why I date her, she has no personality. I shrugged to myself, she was at least a good lay. I smirked thinking about three days ago. Damn that was some hot sex, I laughed to myself. Apparently, I'd marked her during it. Yet, all my wolf wanted to talk about still was Baila. During the time when I mated Wendy, all he could say was You're hurting our mate! Stop, you're hurting Baila. Annoying. Just then, Wendy came by me and plopped into my lap.

"Hey baby!" She was hammered. "What's Up?!"

"Oh, Just thinkin."

"Well, it better be about me." I smirked.

"Nah," I told her honestly

"Awww..." She pouted.

"Were you still thinking about your dumb mate? Baila, was her name? Baby, I'm your mate now. You dumped her for me remember?"

"I did not dump her for you Wendy. I just didn't want her."

"That's not what my mark says!" She bragged.

"You know that'll fade in another week or so, right?"

"Not if I mark you!"

"Nope, I refuse to let you mark me. I'm not going to be tied down by one person." She screeched and stormed off. I just laughed my head off, she was ridiculous. Good in bed, dumb in reality.

That night, I ended up staying at the house where the party was at. It wasn't until about 4 in the afternoon the next day, that I finally woke up and decided to go home. Dang, my friend's house was trashed. Sucks to be him! As I was walking back to my car, my chest started hurting. It started with a soreness then it turned into a full out burning. I dropped to the ground clutching my heart. Wait, was I having a heart attack? Luckily, a fellow pack member saw me go down and helped me to the pack doctor. I was about to start writhing in pain, it hurt so much. My older brother came through the door quickly and checked me out. He had been the pack doctor for 3 years now. He'd know what was wrong with me.

"Elliott, am I having a heart attack? It hurts soooo freakin much!"

"Seth, have you found your true mate yet?" I was about to say yes but he put his hand up. "Don't you dare lie to me, little brother. I know the whore that's running around with your mark isn't really your mate." I gasped as another wave hit my chest.

"Okay fine! You know the Alpha's daughter?"

"Yeah, Baila, the one that got rejected."

"She was my mate."

"Oh." The gears were turning and it hit. "Seth, please tell me you didn't..."

"She wasn't what I wanted. I'm positive the goddess made a mistake with that one. There is no way in hell that Baila could be my mate." His smacked me on my head. "OW, what was that for." He turned to leave the room, disappointment hung high in his eyes.

"Baila is now marked by another male. I think by how much pain you're in, it was her second mate."

"Second mate?"

"The Alpha told me about it. Wolves who are rejected get a shot at a second chance. It's to compensate for the ass holes that Artemis paired them with in the first place. Yes, ass holes like you."

"Wait, she's mated to another mate?"

"Yes. I can't say I blame her either. You should be ashamed of yourself, Seth. What if mom and dad find out? You could have been alpha! Mating her, you would have had extreme powers. But no, you had to keep up with the man whore image. Is it true the first thing you asked her was if she was good in bed?!?!" I looked at the ground. "Oh My Gosh! You little...I am ashamed to call you my brother."

"It's not like the Alpha thing matters anymore! The Luna is giving birth to two sons! Besides, Baila was a loser, let some other S.O.B. have her. She wasn't even that hot!" My brother glared at me. "Besides, I'm her 1st mate. It's not like I can't get her back."

"You are so stupid."

"What?"

"When you rejected her you cut off your half of the bond. Now that she's marked by someone else and knowing Baila, when her heat hits she'll be fully mated. That's her giving up her right to take you back. It's like her saying 'I give up on him,' or 'This one is better for me so I choose him.' Baila chose this other person. Plus, knowing Saira, her wolf, she gave up on you and your wolf the minute you rejected her. The burning you feel is the bond being severed. It'll stop in a little bit then it will start back up when she mates during her heat, then it's over. The bond will be one hundred percent severed." My wolf cried at the thought of completely losing his mate. He told me it was all my fault, and he wouldn't accept Wendy anymore because of this. I was in a crap load of problems.

"So there's no way to get Baila back."

"No, there isn't. Which, I'm grateful for when it comes to her. You don't deserve that girl as a mate. She was amazing. No matter how much you bullied her, she still never retaliated. No matter what you and your friends did or said about her, she took it because she felt that unconscious pull to you. Then when you got beat up, when you were thirteen, she helped you. Not that Wendy girl, who went running for the hills. Baila stayed. You don't deserve any mate, after what you've done to her." I let it absorb. My brother was always one to tell the truth to me, no matter how hard it was.

"What do I do?" I looked to him for guidance.

"If you ever see her again, I'd apologize. Then I recommend you just stay away from her. Let her live her life. The mate she has is probably amazing."

"Really helpful bro."

"I wasn't the one who rejected my mate. By the way, Mom and Dad are going to hear about this. They deserve to know why their youngest son will never have true happiness with a soul mate."

"Can't I just find my second mate like Baila did?"

"Nope, that's your punishment. By rejecting Baila, you lose your second chance mate as well."

I fell to the ground. I'd never experience that mate feeling. Being with your mate for the first time, marking them, mating them. All that was gone. What was I going to tell my parents? I understood why the Alpha now hated me. I'd been reduced to an outsider in the pack, but not fully rogue for the sake of my parents. I was never trusted anymore, I couldn't do really anything concerning the pack either. It wasn't an enjoyable existence. Funny how one night changes everything, right?

Two weeks later the burn came again. This time, it put me in bed for the whole week. My brother said Baila must be in heat. They'd be mating a lot and until she was out of heat, I'd feel the burn. The bond was completely severed when the mating was complete. It was the worst week of life. My parents hadn't talked to me since Elliot told them so it was just my brother to take care of me. Wendy found her true mate in the neighboring pack to the west. Her mark disappeared the moment she laid eyes on him. I was completely alone.

After the week was over, I regained my strength. I now just felt empty. I didn't notice how much my body needed my mate bond. I wasn't as happy now, I didn't enjoy parties as much, I couldn't even enjoy sex anymore. Life was a sob story for me and it was about to get worse. I heard the door open to the pack house and my ears perked. I smelt a familiar smell of warm vanilla and raspberries.

"I'm home!" She called through the pack house. Probably looking for her father. I walked downstairs a few steps to catch a glimpse of my ex-mate. Oh my gosh, she was beautiful. She glowed with power of mating. Next to her stood a 6'2", muscled, blond guy. He looked like he could beat anyone to a pulp. I knew the moment I laid eyes on him that he was an Alpha and worse, he was Baila's mate.
