1- Most Undesirable Mate

3 Years Earlier

A deep sigh escaped my lips as I looked around to see if the preparation for the ceremony was done or not. My silver eyes are tired due to lack of rest but I don’t care because there are a lot of things to do and I don’t want anything to be left unchecked at my sister’s marking ceremony. I don’t know why but she wanted to show it to the world that she found her mate but all I could do is to fulfill her wish.

I am Alpha Blaze Allen of the Fiery Fire pack, I am 26 and still haven’t found my mate yet and could feel this sensation of unbearable passion and losing control over myself surging in me but I have to contain those uncontrollable urges inside me and keep up a strong front for my pack. The lack of having a mate bothers me a lot but I didn’t show it. But, I am happy that my sister; Ashley Allen found her mate at the age of 20 and that person is none other than my beta; Gordon Smite.

I want it to be perfect how Ashley used to imagine. I ran my hands in my pitch-black hairs and turned to see Ashley coming to me and engulfing me in a hug. I smiled and patted her head. “Rest, Brother. You must be tired.” She said, taking a seat beside me.

”Hmm. I am going.” I replied.

“Uh… Brother.. I want to ask you something.” She said nervously. “What is it?” I asked, looking at her.

“You know Avery Cray.. My best friend.” There she goes again, talking about her childhood human friend. Sometimes I don’t know why she is even friends with her. She knows I don’t like it when she talks to humans and she has one. I haven’t met her before, whenever she comes I leave the home and go back to our territory mansion. I literally hate her without even knowing her.

“What about her?” I asked, uninterested. “I.. want her to come to the ceremony as well.” She said hurriedly. My eyes widened when I heard it. I narrowed my eyes at her and said with my voice low and keeping it cool, “Why?”

“Brother she is my best friend. We have known each other for years, in a sense it’s my wedding and I want her to come. Please brother, fulfill it as my last wish, I truly want her to come.” She pleaded and looked at me in hope. I gave her a sour look and turned my head away. I sighed heavily, not liking this idea even in the slightest because I don’t want her to ruin my day by bringing a human here.

“What are you gonna tell her about the ceremony?”

“I have explained to her that it’s the way to get married in our religion, you don’t have to worry about it. She won’t suspect a thing. Please just let her come.” she said with her blue eyes shining in hope. I spared a last glance at her and stood up, “Do whatever you want.” I said and ruffled her hair and left.

 I entered my room, filled with fury, why of all people she has to befriend a human. A pathetic and cruel creature, Just the thought of being on the same roof as the detestable creature made me burn in anger.

…My hatred was my strength, my weakness and my regret. The resentment inside me ate me up and I wasn't able to do anything but let everything crumble to pieces…

“Please spare them, Blaze.” I heard a voice and turned to see who said it but there was no one and I was alone in my room. I took a shallow breath and ran my hand in my hair in distress. I don’t know why but I could hear some voices calling me, accusing me for things I couldn’t even imagine doing, calling my name again and again, sometimes even saying a sentence, I don’t know what is that but they evoked some kind of strange emotion in me I cannot explain. It was somehow mournful and induced something terrifying in me which is not good for me. I think it’s because I don’t have any mate and that fact is taking over my senses.

I am already stressed out and I don’t want anything to destroy tonight's ceremony. I shook my head to let this thought out of my mind and not give me any more dismay. I have to be fresh. Some time has left so I decided to take a nap to fresh myself and ignore it like always and pay heed to what I should be doing.

I looked at my reflection, wearing my black coat with the black shirt. The few buttons of my shirt were opened, I wore the brooch my late parents gave me and set my hair. I applied cologne and was satisfied with my looks. I first went to see Gordon.

“Alpha.” He quickly sat up when he saw me. I entered and looked at him. Since I don’t have any experience about this, I need to be cautious about my words and not mock their sacred bond. I put my hand over his shoulder and began to say, “Look Gordon, today, I am giving my precious to you. Take great care of her. I don’t want a single tear in her eyes.”

“Rest assured, Alpha. I will try my best to give Ashley all the happiness I can.” He said sincerely.

“Good.” I patted his shoulder and passed him a faint smile and went to see Ashley now. I knocked and entered and saw my sister looking so beautiful in her red dress, just like a princess. I motioned all other girls to leave and leave us alone. Ashley was looking at her phone in worry, “What happened?” I asked.

“Oh, Brother.” She smiled when she saw me. She hugged me. I rubbed her back and kissed her head, “You are looking really beautiful.” I said, smiling at her. She smiled back and then her concern came back.

“Are you okay?” I asked her.

”Brother… Avery is still not here. I guess it must be hard for her to come here from the forest. Can you do me a favour and find her, please..” She said, Even now she is worrying about her.

“You should have given her thorough guidance.” I told her.

“I did but it seems like she is lost. Please find her, I don’t want something to happen to her. It’s almost midnight. There’s still time, please get her.” She said in anxiety. “Okay. I will send someone, don't worry.” I assured her. She passed me a faint smile, “Thanks.. Love you brother.” She said, I smiled back and kissed her forehead. 

I then walked out of the mansion with Dalton, a member of our pack with me. “You called me, Alpha?” He asked. I hummed and turned to him.

“Yeah. Dalton, I want you to go to the forest. Ashley’s human friend-” I stopped mid sentence when my eyes widened as I sensed my heartbeat getting loud and fast.

A sudden wave of euphoria rushed in me. Sparks travel to my core. My heart began to flutter, I felt butterflies in my stomach. An unbelievably exquisite emotion was invoked in me and gave me a mere sensation of heaven. A bliss filled me up, letting me receive the gratification I hanker for in all these years. I quickly turned to apprehend the source of this strange numbness in me. My heart was pulled there and that’s the feeling I was dying to have. The emotion I was craving and now when I am feeling it, I want to embed it deeply into my core and never leave me. The surging sensations in me were delicate. I want to immerse myself in that more and never get out. The rapture of having a mate.

 My steps turned to the origin of this sweet affliction in my mind and took over my senses with the only need- to reach the person who is making me feel like this. I ran, I didn’t transform, something inside me didn’t let me but I kept running.

I ran as if my life depended on it and I ran towards my destination where I wanted to say; stop and live this over and over again. A wide smile spread across my lips, I ran, removing everything that was coming in my path, my feet leading me to the fate of heaven I desired to see but…

…I never knew that the Moon Goddess would punish me for having too much hatred in me, bounding my life with the most undesirable mate ever…

I heard a scream and quickly went there only to see the person who caused me to feel all those unforgettable sensations, crying with her back pressed against the wall with a werewolf of my pack in front of her, ready to rip her apart. She shut her eyes and he jumped at her but I tackled him and gave him a death-stare to not even lay a finger upon her. When he realized who I am by my presence, he retreated quickly not before apologizing. I quickly turned to her and asked softly, “Are you okay?” She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me with her frightened blue gaze. Her brown hair was messy, she was breathless but even in that state I found no less than an angel descended only for me.

“H-He… w-was..” She was barely able to speak. I took a step towards her and said reassuringly, “It’s okay… he ran away. Don’t worry.” It took her a few seconds to put her senses to normal, to stop crying. She was beguiling and I couldn’t help but to stare at her pleasing features. When she put her rapid breaths to normal, she passed me a faint smile, “Thank you.. for saving me.” She whispered. I didn’t say anything and was about to leave, happy that I found the one I was looking for but why isn’t she realizing it what I am her mate. I was bewildered but didn’t ask anything. I turned to leave because I have to find a certain human- even though I don’t want to leave her- the I always imagined to meet. “Can you help me?” She asked. I stopped in my tracks and turned to her, “I-I am lost… Today is my f-friend’s wedding a-and I have t-to be there… There’s a m-mansion nearby.” She said hopefully.

 My eyes widened when I heard it. Wedding. I cannot fathom what just happened. I blinked trying to comprehend and deeply hoped that what I was thinking was wrong. A sudden horror of having the lamentable fate swept across my face, My breath caught in my throat. I sniffed and couldn’t recognize if this smell was of a human or a werewolf, I observed her and realized she was wearing jewellery made of silver. That's why I couldn’t tell that she is a human. Praying in my heart, not wanting to have her as the one I dreamed to have the honour to meet. Swallowing hard, I managed to speak.

“Who are you?” I asked conservatively.

“I-I am Avery Cray..”
