Mate

The scent smelled delicious like vanilla and chocolate which I do not understand why I was so much drawn to this scent.

I have been eating vanilla and chocolate ice cream several times, so why do I feel the sudden urge to have one? This particular vanilla and chocolate scent was really keeping me off balance that I had no choice but to trace where it was coming from.

I turned to glance around the hall to see where the scent was coming from but it seems to be coming from the other side of the building, towards the passage hall leading to the restroom I guess.

I looked to my father’s direction and saw him engrossed in what they were discussing and I quickly stood up, because it was the right time I could tour around the building; Alone.

Sitting there was so damn boring and the scent I perceived instantly had made me all excited and jumpy inwardly.

The sadness I was having in my heart suddenly dissappeared the moment I was out from the hall and into the passage way leading to the restroom.

I walked at a fast pace like someone who was on a spell, letting the scent lead me to wherever it was coming from.

As I walked further, the scent became thick and strong.

I felt my inner wolf jump up excitedly and I totally became confused because I have never felt such a feeling in my entire life before.

I felt a voice whisper something to me and I halted into a stop to look behind my back, perhaps someone was speaking to me and I did not notice who, but got more surprised and disappointed when I didn’t see a soul behind me.

Just as I was wondering about the voice that spoke to me earlier did I hear the voice this time, loud and clear.

“Selene, it’s our mates calling onto us… Hurry, so we could see him!”.

I became speechless and worried that I spoke out in fear.

“Who is speaking?”, I almost screamed  my lungs out. Turning left to right and right to left to find where the voice was coming from.

“I am sorry I got you a little frightened, but do not be mad at me for my bad manner of approach. I am  Nala ,your wolf”.

“My wolf!? “.

I question back almost immediately in amazement with furrowed brows.

A Lot of questions were running through my head and I was totally confused as to why strange things were happening today of all the days.

Why me? I said to myself inwardly but was snapped out of my thoughts when Nala spoke up again.

“I know you have a lot of questions to ask me as to why you haven’t shifted yet but don’t worry, I’ll respond to every one of your questions when we’re alone and no one will disturb our chat. Let us find our mate now, he should be at the male restroom side because I feel him there”.

Nala started calmly and I only nodded and walked as fast as my legs could carry me towards the restroom.

Just as I was about to open the door of the restroom, the door fling open and I was met with two dangerous ocean blue eyes of no other person than the man I despise the most, Alpha Damon, who stood in total shock as I am.

He looked dangerously attractive in his black suits and matching black shoes.

His hair was neatly combed to the left side of his face, and his cute ocean blue eyes were staring deeply at me in a confusing way.

His facial appearance looked to be a man of probably 25 or 26 years of age.

The scent I was perceiving ever since all landed on him, because it became stronger and my wolf , Nala yelp in excitement and was threatening to come out but I didn’t even know how I tried to stop her from coming out, because my eyes were now dark and all what was going through my head was;

‘MATE. MATE. MATE’.

SHOCKED by my sudden reaction.

Was Damon really my mate? The man I forbade and swore in my heart never to marry is my mate?.

Oh my gosh, this is not happening.

But it was actually happening and he was standing right before me.

I became lost when he came closer to me and inhaled my scent, looked at me closely and shook his head in a disgusting way, while I was busy smiling sheepishly ignoring my ignorant attitude.

His reaction made me look at him confusedly as I uttered the most dreadful word that left my mouth unexpectedly.

The word I know I would never have say to him, and the word I wouldn’t even call him,

But I did call him.

“Mate!”.

I said and I saw him shake his head in a disgusting way and I could see his eyes grow cold with either hate or so ,I couldn’t tell.

“You’re not my mate and can never be my mate”.

He spat out coldly in distaste with a burning rage that suddenly surged through him like wildfire.

I could feel how hurt he was to see me as he scanned me from head to toe in a disgusting way that got me looking at him quizzically.

“You look so tiny that I can even squeeze you with my bare hands. How can a tiny girl like you be my mate? NO. This can’t be happening”.

He spoke out with irritation and I looked so shocked to hear him say that to me to my face.

I know I have spoken all manner of words against him but knowing he is my mate now , I can’t just resist the feeling of not wanting him.

Can I ?

I ask myself but no answer.

I felt Nala howling in pain inside me, and I could feel she was as hurt as I was.

She was really excited to see our mate but he had just called us weak and said we can never be his mate.

“But you’re my mate and ….”.

“No you’re not my mate. I curse this day I met you and I curse you from being my mate cos I can never accept you. Never”.
