Ketra Venture

She was torn between acknowledging the bond or rejecting it when she still had time but her wolf disapproved as she reminded her how much pain they could go through to the extent of losing her wolf if she decided hastily.

She wasn't stupid to overlook how mates suffered after rejecting each other and neither did she remove hands-on how mates were committed to each other which rendered much to leave behind what they cherished to go after the bond.

I'm her right senses, she could never look at a man twice but right now, she felt an enchantment. There was an urge to run and fall into that alluring man's chiseled chest, as she pictured it. Her eyes locked on his inviting full pink lips unbeknownst to her. The pull was intense and she didn't figure out when she stood on her feet. The iPad which was resting on her thighs earlier was now on the ground but she didn't notice either as her legs began moving on their own.

She wanted to halt and get back to her seat but her wolf interjected and threatened to take over. Besides, she could feel how those dark eyes penetrated her soul and urged her to get closer and seal this bond.

Without noticing, she was already standing in front of the man who stood grounded as if waiting for her to take the initiative and throw herself in his strong arms. 

Rain's mind was in turmoil as he suppressed his wolf that looked at every man as a threat of weakening their bond at given chances. He could sense that they were all humans using his sharp werewolf senses and that brought him to spare them. He focused on winning his mate because any chance created, this bond would be damned and he would be doomed big time.

The moment that he dreamt of was already here and half of what he always pictured was already playing in his eyes. He always imagined a moment when he finds his mate. He thought of it as the most magical moment that will happen in his life and be forever painted in his mind.

Like what always happened when mates spotted each other, he imagined pouncing on each other with excitement then moving to kisses and locking themselves inside the bedroom for days. But it was a disappointment to him because they only spotted each other and that was all.

"Rain Hilton." Alpha Rain introduced briefly in a low voice as nervousness still shadowed him.

"Ketra, ketra Venture," Ketra spoke back with the same low voice which made Rain's heart skip a bit.

"Ketra, you are my mate Ketra. You belong to me." Rain spoke firmly making sure that Ketra picked the possessiveness in his voice.

"Being your mate is the moon goddess' plan but I don't belong to anyone." Ketra retorted emphasizing the last five words.

Who told men that they could claim women as they desired? This is the only problem she found in men. They were so full of themselves to think that they could possess women as pets but she, Ketra Venture, could never become a man's possession.

'Mind your tone man. It's been a long way to reach where mate is.  I won't permit you to scare her away.' His wolf Carter said angrily in his mind and he agreed with what he just said. He didn't think about it twice when he spoke. He felt that he would do anything to feel the gap in his life which was a mate. His entire being wanted to scoop her and take her to a place where they could stay for days or even months alone but that wouldn't be the best approach for him to make.

"The plane will be taking off in fifteen minutes For everyone's safety, please fasten your seat belts and do not move. Thank you." The female voice from the speaker brought them back to realize that they were standing there without heeding anyone's presence.

Ketra was the first to step back hurriedly and get to her seat without saying anything to Rain. She released a shaky breath she didn't realize she was holding for minutes now and threw her head back to think about what just happened.

She had found her mate and he was handsome to the earth with his reasonable height and built physique. His sharp facial features and his deep voice were everything she could ask from her mate. But with all that, she didn't know the right thing to do. As she saw it, she had two valid options and they were all hard to choose from.

Rejecting the bond and moving on with her career as an international model and a businesswoman was the best option for her but what about the pain she would go through after he accepted the rejection?

And leaving her career to focus on a life with a mate would be incredible because apart from carnal pleasures among them, she could get to live merrily but that didn't guarantee the independence she had now. 

Ketra released a breath and turned to look at Rain who was already on his seat with his eyes never leaving hers. He was smiling at her. If she looked at him as handsome earlier, she was wrong. With his smile that allowed his arranged white dental to showcase, he was like a charming prince everyone wished to meet.

They both felt the feeling that called for them to be in each other's proximity and that was undeniable as longing was obvious in their eyes. Ketra decided to look back and swallow those damned feelings of the bond. She was glad, they didn't touch anywhere yet. At least she could deal with this without the sparks if they possibly or accidentally touched.

Rain looked at the woman who was his mate. With her dark sunglasses on, he missed seeing the color of her eyes which would captivate him if he got a chance. He imagined how drawn he could be once they looked at each other with love and longing as mates and his heart skipped when he imagined what could happen later.

But now that he came to think properly, he wondered where he was going. Wasn't his purpose of going to Chicago done? But he wasn't sure as well if his goal was achieved. He found her but she didn't acknowledge him and neither did she reject him.
