THE UNMATED

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

"It's your birthday tomorrow."

He said to me holding my arms around his body. I was leaning on his shoulder with my head buried at his back, I can feel his breath as he touched me with his hands, so cold, I can feel his icy palm as he touched my waist. I was intoxicated, in love, yes I was yet anxious about tomorrow.

I was lost deep in thought of what becomes of my new age some hours to complete my eighteenth birthday. I was indeed in a fury of what becomes of me after now, turning into a teen wolf is something every werewolf family wanted from their offspring.

"Yeah, I know ". I said to him, gently still leaning on him.

"Come here. I know exactly how you feel right now, I can tell you, I felt this way too ."He said squeezing my butts. He squeezed them so gently that it aroused a sequenced felt for pleasure, simultaneously, I knew he wanted to mate but it's not just time for it, We had waited all these years being tomorrow without mating. I knew very well that Josh wouldn't let anyone ruin my day.

Josh had been my childhood boyfriend my family knew him, he comes for dinner sometimes with his family. They were a decent family just like mine. My father Hooggs, a descent werewolf had trained us to be just like him, we would correlate with the Cullens though they knew our weakness. As for Edward and Bella, they were not a problem to us, they were another set of lovers just like Josh and me, Lucas and Flutta. Bella was a human yet she fell in love with a vampire and so did the vamp that turned up for her. I am like a half-mortal and half wolf. This is because I was a breed of the werewolves clan, an offspring, also one of them, but yet I possess no special abilities, I had kept it to myself though everyone wants to see it; my abilities, they all want to know what special powers I've got in me but the truth was that my inabilities were my one big secret.

Only my family and those around me; my best friend could see it, If only they did pay attention to observe me. At times when the hungry wolves wants to bully me, I ran like a human until Josh could come to my rescue. Edward had once saved me once from them, his type, the bloodsuckers and white walkers.

I felt like the night never breaks to a new dawn. I was almost hopeless but Josh was there with me, this was the time I needed him most and he was there with me I was never deserted.

"It is your big-time tomorrow, I can't wait to see you crowned a teen wolf as you see your flowers". He continued

"It's nothing more important I am just a she-wolf," I smirked

"I can devour any human for you, my love."His eyes staring at mine, I felt his breath again, his palms on my cheeks I can feel his lips touch mine before I knew it we were kissing. He flipped the edges of my hair, he does that occasionally when we are together all alone in the woods, the same place we were now, the lover's track, where there are many large oak trees

Concurrently, we never wanted to leave each other this minute, he held me by the waist, like he was going to lift me, I liked it, I liked the moment, I loved Josh. Josh loved me too I could see it in his green eyes, his hair was curly, mild but not blonde like mine.
