Mate me

29

Third part p.o.v

The ice King, that's what he was called during his empire: he wasn't able to keep his emotion under control so he kept them locked and showed a straight face that can at times be misinterpreted to be angry or scary

He slept during the day and roam around performing his duty at night escaping the curious eyes of the outsiders

The people never saw him as often as before but they understood, the pain of losing a mate was known and pitied between them werewolf packs

They acted normal and smiled at him the little times they were able to cross him

He didn't mind the looks nor the nags of the relative asking him to just have a surrogate for the throne

He did everything for the people to make them happy thinking that maybe their happiness could transfer to him

It didn't work

He played with the children just like she loved doing but instead of joy he felt bitterness: "Oh, my child would have been this tall if I had arrived a bit earlier" he often think while smiling at them

He was nauseous at the sight of blood and nervous around a pregnant woman

"The King is here, go to the back" the guard says to the pregnant mate next to him

Dereck heard but just kept walking

His empire did not last long as he died before the former King and Queen did

But he was remembered, he was the beloved Ice King and the mate of the daughter of their Goddess, the first female alpha.

It was a love story that was fated to die as it was formed by a mother who didn't have enough time to share her love and consign toward her only, birthed, daughter

A mother who had enough time to create millions of lives but none for a talk with her daughter

"Are you really asking me to go down there and intake all the negativity on earth, to die for them? I'm your daughter for crying out loud!" She once cried to her
"What? you can do it, I believe in you!" she responded distracted with her eyes still closed focused on events down on earth

Our Janeth looked at her mother one last time before leaving the room
"At least if you can't see me, give me someone who will"

It took years, no, centuries for her mother to realize

That she was in fact sacrificing her daughter for her own need for praise

Then she gave her love not the love of a brother like Marco or the one of a friend like Lucy and Nicole

A real, honest, and pure, not a lesson for her to focus on her mission like her first mate was

A man who after seeing her will love her for real and forever despite her position or character

But once again she was the reason why her daughter suffered: her bad example made her daughter question herself and created problems in her life

She was never a kind and supportive mother, she was not even present most of her life always working and leaving her in the hands of helpers, so our Janeth didn't know how to act as one and was worried to mess up and have her child hate her just the way, some time, she hated her own mother.

"I'm sorry" the Goddess looked at the sleeping figure of her daughter still unconscious while patting her wolf who was sleeping on the feet of the bed guarding her owner "I'm so sorry"

HI, MARCO AND JANETH ARE NOT BLOOD-RELATED: THE GODDESS LEFT HER WITH THE HELPERS AND ONE OF THE HELPERS WAS THE MOTHER OF MARCO, SO THEY GREW TOGETHER AND SEE EACH OTHER AS BROTHER AND SISTER. HOPE I WAS CLEAR.
