Chapter 12

“I am not planning to reject you, okay?” I said.

“You don't?” he asked adorably with his eyes blinking.

I shook my head. “No. Where did you got that ridiculous idea?”

He looked away as his lips protruded.

“Reui, look at me.” He did what was told. Our eyes locked. I heave a deep sigh. “Okay, I will give you a chance to change. I'm not saying I want you to totally change yourself. I like the way you are, just reduce being so possessive. It's not healthy and it's creeping me out to be quite frankly.”

He nodded his head. “Okay then, starting from today onwards, I will try my hardest not to suffocate you. As long those men has no hidden agenda or feelings towards you, I would behave.” He smiled gratefully and held my hand. “Thank you, baby. Thanks for giving me a chance, and thanks for understanding my situation. Rest assured, I won't act that way ever again. I apologize to all the foul, offensive words I said to you whenever I lost my control. I promise not to do it again.”

I smiled in satisfaction.

Using my free hand, I patted his head and smirked. “Good boy.”

His eyes lightened up as he beams. Cupping my face, he pecked my lips.

“Then, we're good now?” he asked.

“Yes,” I replied. “But do it again and I'll chop your dick to pieces.”

He visibly paled and nodded his head vigorously.

After a moment of just staring into each other's eyes, we came to a decision to go downstairs to grab some lunch. Hand-to-hand whilst walking down, all those people present looked at the both of with surprised and amused expression on their faces. Some women are even squealing silently. My face flushed but I tried my best not to show it to them that I was kinda shy and uncomfortable under their gazes.

They must be wondering how we made it up. It's been a week but we always argue. I always flip him off and he's always pissed at me. So to suddenly see that their alpha and his mate were now in good terms, they are probably relieved.

“Hey, mom,” he greeted his mom and kissed her cheek.

From attending the stove, mommy Cam looked at his son and smiled brightly, kissing my cheek, too.

“Hello, dear,” she said sweetly. Her eyes landed on ur intertwined hands and she gasped. I smiled shyly and blushed profusely. “Sit down, you two, I prepared a pasta for the twins since they're doing a great job at school, but since I've cooked a lot, you guys must help them finish this off.”

“Thanks, mommy Cam," I gratefully uttered.

She went back to the stove and finished off making the sauce. I swear, I literally drooled. The grinded meat and the tomatoes sauce and paste, added the peppercorn and then cheese, gosh! She made the most delicious pasta ever!

After eating eating a pasta, Reui and I decided to go for a walk outside the pack house. He brought me to a lake and we sat there under the tree whilst facing the beautiful scenery in front of us.

“What...” I cleared my throat. “What are you talking about with Catherine last week? I'm curious.”

“Oh, nothing significant. She just discussed some things to me.” He caressed my head and pulled to his shoulder. I leaned on him and sighed. “Why? Were you jealous?” he asked.

I pursed my lips and didn't answer him. I don't want to look so defensive if I denied it, but then, silence means not objecting his words. Ugh!

He suddenly chuckled. “Don't.” He kissed my temple. “Don't be jealous. She's more like a sister to me.”

“But her face is annoying and I want to scratch it badly.” I went straight to the point. There's no need of pretending that I've got no bad blood towards that woman. She always glares at me at me as if I did something wrong and whenever Reui sided her, she would smile smugly at me. Like, bitch! I badly want to slap her hard across her ugly face! She's not even that beautiful. She's nothing compared to me!

Reui laughed louder. “She's always like that. She has grown a liking to me and since she hasn't found her mate yet, her infatuation towards me cannot diminish that easy. But rest assured, I won't take a liking to her, too. My mind, my body, and my heart, only belongs to you, Katia. You are the gift from the Moon Goddess to me and I'll treasure you like a rare gem til death.”

His sweet words always caught me off guard. No one has ever sweet talked to me, and I was never intimate with another people. But now, I was casually and comfortably leaning against him.

“Thank you," I softly said. My heart was in content. The beautiful scene before us made it even more potent. Everything was perfect.

However, the peacefulness soon vanished when a group of rogues suddenly came to attack us.

I gasped and held Reui's arm tightly as fear engulfed me. Reui held me securely and pulled me close to him.

“R-Reui...” I worriedly said and 4 huge wolves started advancing towards us with their canines and sharp teeth bared.

“Baby, do you know how to climb?” he whispered.

“H-Huh? What, no, I don't know—”

“I want you to climb on this tree.” He meant the tree behind us.

“I-I don't know if I c-can.” This is my first time to encounter such scene. I've never seen a wolves before because I mingled with the humans. I've never seen such angry wolves and it scares me a lot! To experience it your own is kinda terrifying!

“You can do it, I believe in you. Now, climb up before they attack us,” he said in a low, angry voice.

“Reui...” I said through shaking voice. I held into him tightly. “How about you? Let's just call for your men to come. Mindlink them.” My voice was as low as him. I was trembling and I think I could piss on my pants any moment from now. At this time, the four wolves were now circling us like a predator to its prey. Reui was glaring at him.

“There's no time. Now, Katia. Climb!” he hissed just when I saw one of the wolves attacked us. He quickly avoided it and held my waist. He forced me to go up the tree as four wolves started advancing towards us. Reui cursed under his breathe as he dodged them by leaving me hanging on the tree. I shrieked and held on to the trunk tight. I was forced to climb up on my own even though it was practically my first time climbing. My heart speeded when one wolf almost reached me. I clutched my chest as I panted.

Oh, gosh! It was too close! 

I gritted my teeth. I almost got eaten because Reui suddenly let go of me! What if I fell down?! I would've been dead now! 

“What the fuck was that, Reui— REUI?!” I looked around, trying to find Reui to scold him from doing that, but I found no one. Worry filled my chest as I frantically searched everywhere but no trace of him could be seen here—aside from the shred clothes on the ground.

I felt tears brimming in my eyes as my throat dried. No... No... No...

“R-Reui?” My voice was trembling as tears roll down on my cheeks. My chest tightened and I could barely breathe. “Reui!” I yelled as I cried. Panic rose within me as my whole body went cold. “Reui! Please!”

I heard a growl.

“No... R-Reui! Don't leave me!” I cried hard as I looked everywhere. Where is he?!

Another growl erupted again.

“R-Reui... please, don't leave me...” I sobbed.

I covered my face through my palms as I sobbed. Wolves could not reached me because I am in a high level. They can't climb up, either. I think I just need to wait for someone to rescue me before I go down.

Seeing the teared shirt that's no doubt from my mate, my heart just broke. I don't want to admit it, but I hate the idea of him leaving me. We barely even know each other—we barely even do what mates supposed to do. I still want to love him. I still want to discover what love is all about, through him. I don't know what is love, but I knew I already like his company. I cared for him—a stranger like him. 

I still want to see him, even though his face is annoying and his possessiveness always pissed me off, but as much as I denied it, I knew deep down I was touch. I was touch because he was claiming me as his. He was showing to everyone that I belong to him as he belong to me. 

I don't want him to die yet. I still want to experience being in love with him...

“Katia..." I heard a hoarse voice from below. It could be my imagination. Reui is gone. He was ripped off to pieces with these cruel rogues. I, myself, is a rogue, but I was never been that wild like them. So, maybe I was. It's terrifying. Rogues are terrifying. “Katia, baby. It's okay, they're gone. You can open your eyes now.”

My heart took a leap as I heard his voice again. Slowly, I peeled my palms from my eyes and looked down below the tall tree.

I saw a handsome man with half naked body, looking up at me. His silver eyes were shining through the setting sun that reflects through the peaceful lake. He smiled at me, which brought warm through my chest. His perfect set of white pearls was in a view as he extended his arms in the air, as if motioning me to jump down and he would catch me.

“R-Reui...?” I asked as I blinked my misty eyes.

“Yes, baby. It's me,” he spoke gently.

Instead of smiling back, I only cried hard. Without informing him, I jumped down and he caught me. We ended up falling on to the ground with me on top of him.

I sobbed as I hugged him tight, my face was buried in the crook of his neck. Relief washed through me and I couldn't ge grateful to see him in a good state. Reui seem shocked at my sudden pounced at him, but he later on got back to reverie and he hugged me back and caressed the back of my head.

“Hush, everything's okay now. You don't have to worry, you are now safe.”

 “I h-hate you...” I uttered. Silly. It was you whom I got worried with. It's your goddamn safety.
