CHAPTER 5
For two good days I was locked up in my room, crying and mourning over the loss of my other half. I refused to open the door for anyone who came knocking, I wasn't ready to face mom Kayla and anyone else, and when I mean anyone else, I meant Mason, that's if he ever came which I so much doubt. He didn't care for me at all.
The pain of his rejection was still fresh in my heart. It was as if a other part of my soul was burning, seriously burning that I couldn't even quench it with my tears.
I wasn't worthy to be loved. At first I was abandoned by my parent and now I was rejected by my mate. Why was life treating me this way? Why can't everything just go well for me for once in my life?
"We'd have to get over this one way or the other." Nicky said and I could feel the pain still evident in her voice.
"But it hurts, I doubt I'd ever get over this. It's too painful, you know... It's like a dagger was thrown directly to my heart, I don't think you understand this feeling!" I doubt she understood what I was feeling. The pain is so brutal in my chest and I don't think I can survive another day with it. I don't think I can survive another day locked up in here without seeing him. He was like a drug to me, especially now I knew he was mine, he was my happiness and also my sorrow.
"I do, and I also feel this pain, but we've mourned enough already, what's done is done, he rejected us, remember?" Nicky reminded me of what he had said two days ago and my heart hurt again like hell. It was merciless.
"Must you always remind me of those dagger-like sentences?" I asked her as I clenched my chest. It was painful, I wasn't been dramatic or anything, it was really painful.
"So that you can remember what he did always. Has he always been this way?" Nicky asked me and I nodded.
"Yes, always." I told her. Mason had said all kinds of hurtful words to me but never once rejected me but now he did outrightly say it to my face, and I heard him loud and clear, again and again.
Then I reject you! Those words taunted me and I tried to close my ears with my hands, trying to words from taunting me.
"This is extremely serious, I'm sorry I never took notice of him until the day before yesterday, since he was our mate, but he's now the mate who had rejected us." She said and I cried.
"We can still work it out, we can make him like us. Don't you think so?" I suggested. I wasn't ready to give up on Mason just yet. I couldn't just let him slip out of my hand when I just found out that he was meant to be mine. He was mine. Mason Israel Maxson was mine! And no one, I repeat, no one would take him from me.
"What I think is that you've never ever succeeded in him liking you, so how do you think you'd succeed this time. I doubt it Nicole, it's impossible, unless perhaps a miracle occurs." Nicky voice was like two-edged swords cutting through the last bit of hope I have left.
"Well, I really hope for that miracle." I sighed.
Suddenly a knock disrupted my conversation with Nicky, this knock wasn't like the soft knocks of mom Kayla, it was hard. Like extremely hard that it was threatening to break my doors.
"Open the damn door Nicole or else I break it!" Mason's voice roared from outside and I tensed. It was really him.
"Open it." Nicky urged me and I shook my head.
"He sounds so angry, what if he tries to kill me?" I asked her dramatically as I cleaned the remaining bit of tears that had stained my cheeks.
"Seriously Nicole?"
"Don't test my patience Nicole! Open this damn door!" Mason shouted and that made me jump out of my bed running to the door to open it.
"Why are you such a selfish being?! Don't you ever care for anyone?!" Mason scolded, and I flinched, his hatred for me showing evidently in his eyes, but I was confused. Even though Mason always shows his hatred for me on his face, he has never ever raised his voice at me and this was a first. What was happening? The next word he spoke to me really made tears well up in my eyes, yet again.
"Such a selfish monster!" He spat and I didn't know when I fell to the ground, clenching my chest due to the pain, tears pouring out of my eyes. It was like he literally came here to shatter my heart. "Don't you dare pour out that crocodile tears in front of me! Mom's sick all because she's worried about you and you didn't even give her the decency of opening the door when she knocked at it!" As I heard the mention of mom and sickness, I didn't know how I got the strength in me but all I knew was that I stood up and ran straight to her room.
"Mom!" I ran to the bed mom Kayla was laying down and squatted so I could really see her.
"My darling, my precious darling. How are you feeling now?" Mom Kayla asked me as she tried to get up from the bed.
"Mom, you are the one sick, not me. I should be asking you that, not you asking me. How are you feeling mom?"
"I'm fine now that I can see you're also fine. Why didn't you answer the door when I knocked for these two days, you really got me worried sick."
"I'm sorry mom, I won't do that again." I apologized to her.
"How are you feeling now that you've seen your precious damsel?" I heard Mason say and I knew he was being sarcastic.
"Fine. Thanks son for bringing her out."
"I just wish she was the one sick and not you." Mason said with all seriousness and tears poured out of my eyes, again and again.
"Mason! Apologize to her now!" Mom Kayla exclaimed, so shocked at the words her son just spoke out.
"Never mom, I hate her, she should have just died in the forest..." And that was it. His words pierced my heart so deep that I fainted.
CHAPTER 6By the time I awoke, it was already so dark and I caught two pairs of eyes staring down at me, the emotion present in their eyes is what I can describe with just a word. Worry. They were worried about me. Mason was worried about me!"You're awake, you scared us both." Mom Kayla said. I looked around and wondered how I was in my room. The last time I was alive, I was in mom's room so how am I in my room and on my bed? "Mason carried you." Mom answered my unasked question and I blushed."I'm sorry..." He said and I got shocked.What just happened right now? Did the cold Mason Israel Maxson just apologize to me? This was his first apology to me in my whole life since I knew who Mason was. I stared at him and I could see the sincerity in his eyes."Let me leave you two to settle your differences." Mom Kayla said and left my room leaving me alone with Mason. I have never been left alone with Mason and it was dark. A blush crept on my cheeks as some perverted thoughts ran through m
CHAPTER 7I raised my head so that my lips were inches close to his. And just like that, in a heartbeat, his warm lips caught mine, kissing me, claiming me, making me feel a sudden surge of electricity rushing through my body. This was it. This was heaven. I was kissing Mason and it was my first kiss! My love took away my first kiss! My mate! And my dream man! I wrapped my hands round his neck, bring him more closer to me, as I kissed him back, hungrily, as if he was my last meal before going to heaven. As I kissed him, I decided to explore, his bare muscular chest and broad back that I had always fallen in love with. This was my chance, to touch and explore it to my heart content. And I did while still kissing him senseless.He disengage his lips from mine and traced kisses down my neck, to my collarbone, lingering there, biting me, marking me, making me burn for him more and more and more. And then, I did something I hadn't done ever in my entire life, I moaned. I freaking moaned due
CHAPTER 8The sound of the alarm once again blared through my ears making me throw cuss words at it. It was damn annoying. "Remember, Nicole, wake up!" My annoying wolf, aka Nicky, reminded me once again."Ugh! Have I not woken up?" I asked her even though I knew what she meant."You know what I mean Nicole, stop playing dumb." She shot and I rolled my eyes."Fine ma'am... But I can't promise you anything, not after knowing how Mason's lips feel..." I moaned as I remembered what transpired between us yesterday."Stop thinking dirty, he's our mate, yes... But he has to accept us first, I don't want our heart breaking to pieces over and over again!""Fine, fine! It won't. I'm positive Mason would accept us now, don't you remember how his lips moved in sync with ours?...""Nicole!" Nicky protested but I didn't care, she would thank me later when Mason finally accepts us and I just feel it was so soon."I won't and I don't think it's so soon either." Nicky replied to my thoughts and I fro
CHAPTER 9"You... You say what?" I stuttered, quite shocked at the words Mason had just said."You heard me right Nicole, don't make me repeat my words, Now get out of here, this instant!" He roared angrily, however, I didn't budge."What did I ever do to you, Mason? Why do you hate me so much?" I mustered the courage to finally ask him the question that had been eating my mind for years.Mason didn't answer me, he just stared at me, his expression blank and passionless. This was what I disliked about Mason, he knew how to envelop his feelings well. "Mason, answer me...""I don't hate you..." He finally spoke out, "I just don't harbour any feelings for you in my heart, whether hate or like, I won't waste my feelings on you." He stated making me tongue-tied. I didn't know what to do anymore, but I knew I was able to fall, so I held the door to hold my stance. His words sounded so painful, thus, making tears itch my eyes before it finally flowed out mercilessly. This guy was so heartless
CHAPTER 10If confusion was a human, then it would definitely be me. I stared at Mom Kayla, totally confused as to why she would say such a thing. "Why?" Mason asked the same question I was tempted to ask."She knows why." Mom Kayla said and I became confused once again. Did I know why?"Me?" I asked Mom Kayla, not wanting confusion to disrupt my mental health. "How?" Mason shot another dark look at me, as if not believing that I also didn't know what mom Kayla meant by me knowing why."Your admission, remember?" Mom Kayla said and I remembered. "Oh!" I exclaimed, it was true, I had gotten admission to a university in the city."You got admission?" Mason asked and I nodded."Yeah." I replied him. Now that I had gotten admission and would also be moving to the city with him, would he now see me as a city girl?"Which school?" He asked, quite amused as if not still believing."Everest University." I said feeling so proud of myself, that was when I caught something, a smile—a genuine sm
CHAPTER 11As mom Kayla said those words, I could see flashes of emotion on the face of my beloveth mate. It was all pain. Mason was pained. I couldn't take this any longer, as he was pained, the more I felt my heart squeezing. Was Mason pained because mom Kayla said we would have to get married? Or was he pained because he couldn't believe what his mom said? "Mom, we don't need to get married. We will be just fine on our own." I don't know how or why I said those words, but it was like I had this reassurance that Mason would be mine whether or not we get married. "I was the one that pushed those words into your mouth and I will tell you why when we are alone." Nicky's voice rang out and I became disappointed. So now, not only that she could here my thoughts, she could also push words into my mouth?!"Are you sure?" I heard mom Kayla asked, I wanted to say no, but I found myself nodding and then Mom Kayla smiled. "When you both are done with your detrimental planning, let me know. I
CHAPTER 12Finally, the day that I would be following Mason to the city came sooner than I expected. After the revelation Nicky told me, I became relax, all I needed was just to be all alone in a house with Mason. Even though the beautiful mark he has given me has long since disappeared because I didn't also mark him, that didn't make me scared or afraid. I knew deep down that we would have another day to experiment that."My dearest children, I would miss you." Mom Kayla cooed and then she hugged us both. A treat slipped out of my eyes as I hugged mom Kayla. I would miss her terribly. I would miss her love and care, her pamper and her support. "Mom, since Nicole is finally leaving, perhaps you should employ some helps. It would be better for you, or better still come live with us in the city." Mason suggested."No, I would employ some helps, yes. But I won't live in the city. This is the house your dad built with his love, I won't leave it to go live somewhere else just because I hav
CHAPTER 13Mason didn't answer my question, instead, he took a gulp of his beer, and passed a can of beer to me."Care for some?" He asked me and I shook my head. I have never any alcoholic drink before in my life. Although I have attended a lot of parties back at home, but I never allowed myself to drink. I hate to lose myself."No. I can't drink." I told him bluntly."Then you're still a child. It's only children that don't drink. So tell me Nicole, are you still a child? Or are you an adult?" He taunted me, and then I saw a glimpse of mischief in his eyes. He took another can of beer and gulped the whole contents within a minute. "You know I'm not a child Mason, stop taunting me." I told him and then he smirked at me."I like girls that can drink with me." He said as he stared at me, I didn't know what happened, perhaps I was in a trance, cause I saw myself opening the can of beer and gulping the contents inside my bowel."Good girl." He ruffled my hair as he smiled genuinely at me
