Mira's pov

I stood at the gazebo outside the great hall, panting like I had just run a marathon.

In retrospect, I had.

This was not how I had planned my evening to go in any way shape or form but here I was hiding away like a coward.

I backed into one of the pillars of the gazebo and held onto it to prevent my legs from giving out on me.

I was glad that the gazebo was hidden from the main hall. It was very close to the garden and was dimly lit.

I counted one to ten as I took in deep breaths, trying to calm myself down.

Once I felt like myself again, I raised my head up to the sky and sighed.

"Let's go back to him;" my wolf, Claudia, urged.

“Absolutely not!" I shook my head, knowing that if I went in there now, I wouldn't be able to control myself or Claudia.

I needed to stay far  away from him. As far as possible.

The memory of his green eyes staring deep into my eyes caught me off guard.

Why was he so fucking hot?!

With that long black hair and green eyes and plump lips that looked like they could do unholy things to my lips and body.

I wanted him, I wanted him so much. My body ached for him and I just met him.

Was this how everyone felt when they first met their mate?

"Who was that young man you were practically all over?" A familiar voice said, startling me.

I jumped and glanced back to find Kayden standing behind me, his eyes dark as they accessed me.

There it was again, his scent taking over every rational part of my brain.

"I… I… I mean, he…he's a friend," I stuttered as he walked up to me.

I backed away from him, trying to put distance between us.

"A friend… I see." He said simply, his eyes still accessing mine like he was reading me.

I swallowed, feeling self conscious at his stare.

"Did you want something?!" I finally found my voice.

"Your mother asked me to find you so we can take a family picture together." He said in a clipped tone.

Oh, that was right.

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"I followed your scent," he said. "It was too potent to miss,"

I bit my lips, unsure of what to say to that.  Suddenly, I heard Kayden groan and I looked up in confusion.

“What do you want?” I asked him trying to sound firm but it came out squeaky and small.

"Don't do that, Mira."  he said with a strained voice that sounded like he was restraining himself from doing something unholy.

We were three feet apart but it felt like we were skin to skin. I should reject him or at least bring it up!

I kept telling myself it was for the best but for some reason, I couldn't open my mouth to speak.

I was too mesmerized by him

My eyes fell on his hands that seemed to be tapping furiously at his sides and  looked up at him.

"Do what?" I finally asked after several moments of silence.

"Nothing." He whispered and in the blink of an eye, he grabbed me.

He backed me into the nearest pillar and caged me there.

For a moment, I thought he was about to kiss me but he paused, closed his eyes and whispered something into my ear.

At first I didn't catch what he said because I was distracted by his closeness.

I opened  my eyes once again  and stared  deep into my eyes as I tried to pick the meaning behind what he was saying.

"Now, listen to me, Mira. You can't tell your mother about this…about us, about me being your mate…" he pointed out and I shivered at the whoosh of my ear.

"I wasn't planning to." I breathed out, aroused by his proximity to me.

Was he feeling the things I was feeling? The need to close the distance between us and let our bodies do the talking?

The need to kiss him senselessly without caring who was watching us?

He was too close, so close that I could feel his breath on my lips.

"Good, because if you even think about it, I'll break your brittle little bones. I can't be with you, you being my mate is irrelevant.” He remarked in an icy tone that made me shiver.

He'd just promised to break my brittle bones but all I could think about was my legs on his shoulders as he made love to me staring deep into my eyes.

I expelled the thoughts out of my head immediately. This couldn't be. I couldn't allow it. I just couldn't.

"You should reject me!" I breathed out, my face heating up.

"You are right." He said and stood up straight and began. "I, Kayden Remy Darkclaw hereby reject…" he began but stopped immediately.

His eyes fell on my lips just then and he let out a low growl before crashing his lips on mine.

My hands went around his neck easily as I kissed him back, my need to feel his body against mine winning over common sense.

He growled against my lips, his mouth molding with mine roughly. His hands moved to my breast and squeezed and I screamed out with absolute need.

I wanted more of him, more of his strong solid body against mine, more of his sweet, addictive musk wrapped around me.

I wanted to feel inside me, my inner thighs were already starting to ache from the passionate and frenzied kiss.

"Please," I begged, trying to get closer as possible even though there was no more room for me to get closer

"Yes, don't stop."  I moaned as he began to kiss my neck and his grip on my breasts grew rougher and more urgent.

Just when I thought I'd get the release I desired, he broke the kiss and stepped away from me.

"You, stay the fuck away from me." He pointed at me like it was my fault. “I, Kayden Remy Darkclaw , reject Mira Frost as my mate.”

He turned around and started walking away without another word.

I placed my hand on my chest where I could feel an ache coming from within.

I watched him go confused by what just happened. He headed towards the great hall while I stood there watching and asking myself what the fuck had just happened.

Did my mate just reject me?

    Alpha Remy’s povI thought of all he had said and sighed. He was right. “Alpha. Whatever decision you want to take, we will support you. But as your elder, we are here to lead you to the right path.”I looked back at the two other elders whose eyes moved like snakes.I didn’t trust them. But they had the right to speak their mind. After all, they had the good intentions to help the pack.“I’ll think about it,” I said as I walked past him and got out of the throne room.I walked for a while before bumping into Kayden who had his shirt off with sweat glistening his body.I looked behind him to see the maids and some women ogling him like he was a piece of chocolate.“You know you should cover up,” I said as he shrugged.“It doesn’t matter dad. I’m kind of working.”I nodded. “Is something bothering you?” He asked. He must have noticed my sad face. “We can talk about it if you want.”I needed the thoughts of someone else. Maybe he would work.“Come with me,” I said sharply as I led hi

    Mira’s povHe grunted over the phone but finally accepted as I cut the call and smiled at a fuming Zane.“See? That wasn’t so hard.”Zane wasn’t happy about that but she decided to play along with me.A maid came to tell me to help them carry something as we were short staffed and we went to help.For the next hour and a half, we were doing chores before Cameron joined us.“Hey, guys,” he said as he saw us lifting a tent to fix it. “What are you guys doing?”“Helping. You should be doing the same,” I grunted as I successfully lifted it to its position before standing back to make sure it was okay.He looked at Zane and they both looked away.“Okay; one of these days, you both will tell me what the matter is between you two. Until then, just help me fix things around.”Kayden showed up and looked at me. “Can we talk?”I looked at my friends before nodding and following Kayden away from the crowd.He led me to his room as he sat down and leaned forward. “How are you?”“I’m doing okay.

    Mira’s pov“Because,” she said while going to stand at the window. “I don’t know. I just… connect with him. You know. How it was with you and… what’s his name? Lucas?”I scoffed. “Oh this is definitely not like me and him. We were way off and you know it. Besides, you were the one forcing the elder on me. This time it’s you who has to make the choice. Do you stay with him or let him be and find another person to be with.”“But my mate is dead,” she said with tears in her eyes. “Your father is dead Mira. I can’t find anyone like him.”“It doesn’t mean you need to settle for alpha remy. Trust me, it won’t end well.”She sighed and nodded. “You have no idea what it feels like being on that seat and being alone. No one feels what you feel. No one understands your pain. No one sees you as anything more than the title. Alpha this, alpha that. It’s all they care about. I’m either talking about the pack or how to avoid war or how to turn my daughters in royalty. But what about what I truly wa

    Mira’s povI stayed at the stairs that night, looking at the bulb that flickered in the distant. I didn’t know what to do or how to keep this feeling that was growling within me.It was too much to handle and all I could do was think of all the ways I could break in there and tell my mother that Kayden was my mate, but that would do little to help me. In fact, it would only cause more problems once they find out that I had bonded with Kayden.I sighed and got up to the sound of my mother and alpha remy really getting into their sexual moment.I took in deep breaths as I shook my head and looked at the door.“Where is Jamie?” A voice said behind me as I turned to see Kayden.“Shouldn’t you be like a thousand miles away from me?” I asked. “Our parents are back together. There is no hope for us.”He looked around as I smiled. “No need to bother. No one here knows about us. Everyone into busy trying to understand what’s going on between my mum and your dad to even look at me.”“Look, I ju

    Freya’s povI saw Jamie running about as Mira stood by the stairs as if she was not eavesdropping.“You all should really give me some space,” I laughed as they nodded.Mira came forth. “I wanted to know if you were okay. That’s all.”I laughed. “I am.”“So does that mean you two are getting back together?” Jamie dropped in as I sighed and closed my eyes to indicate I was already losing my mind.“How about you let me and remy decide what to do next. You kids should give us some space. Go hang out with Kayden or something.”They nodded and walked off as I looked at remy.He held my hand and we walked down the stairs with my workers bowing as we walked to the car.With a chivalrous smile, he opened the door and I got into the passenger's seat. His driver tried to get in but he told the man he would drive and took the key from him.“I find how you take charge very sexy,” I said while he closed the door and started the car.He looked at me. “Anything for you my darling.”I leaned in to ki

    Freya’s povHe stood up slowly and smiled at me sadly. “Freya,” he said softly, like the sound of my name was something beautiful to him. “I was hoping you’d come with me. I wanted to take you out.”“What?” I laughed darkly. “Take me out? Oh you must be joking. You think you can show up and I’ll drop everything to be with you?”He looked hurt, and said, “I didn’t mean it like that.”“Then how did you mean it?” I asked sharply. “Because to me, it sounds like the guy who never saw me is back again. Only now he’s trying to charm his way into my life.”He looked down. “I made mistakes,” he said quietly. “I know I hurt you. I know I failed you, Freya.”I swallowed hard. I didn’t want to feel anything right now. Not sympathy. Not hope. Nothing.My daughters came down the stairs at that moment. Mira and Jamie. I flicked my eyes towards them, and they both stopped on the steps, questioning expressions on their faces. It would be impossible to keep this from them now.Remy saw them, but instea
