Shocking truth

~03~

Her gaze travelled behind him, and her hand flew to slap her mouth in pure horror and disbelief. Behind the big wolf were the limbs and the remains of the rogues. They were scattered everywhere as if they were dandelions across the ground. When she returned my gaze to the creature, another gasp left her mouth. She thought she was going to have a heart attack if the surprises kept flowing out.

This time around, before her, stood a man. The most gorgeous man she has ever seen in her life. Her eyes started from his slim waist to his well-packed abs. She was looking at a body that one spent years training to build. He had muscles in every right place. A neck that had veins popping and his Adam's apple going up and down when he swallowed. A face so perfectly shaped you’d think he was sculptured. Then her eyes connected with his, and the whole world disappeared around them. It was so hard to look anywhere else when her body was demanded to keep all of her attention on him.

Only their breath filled the place. Her wolf groaned in approval because it was at the moment both she and the man realized what was going on between them. New bonds were getting formed. She could feel it deep inside her. The man before her was her new mate. She was given a second chance by the Moon Goddess. She could see her eyes glowing as they mirrored his gold ones. “Mate.” They both uttered at the same time. Both smiling. 

And then as quick as her happiness came…it vanished. Minsi looked at herself and then at the man standing before her. A scoff left her mouth. What was she thinking? There was no way this unbelievably good-looking man would ever accept her as his mate. She already had an experience before with a good-looking man. And this one, just by a single glance, she knew he was so out of her league.

“It’s okay. You can reject me. I won’t force you to accept me.” She said to him in all honesty. She wasn’t going to pester him. At this rate, she was ready to live the rest of her life without a mate. The good-looking man frowned, taking her full form, and she couldn’t help but feel conscious under his thorough scrutiny. 

Then he shook his head. “Why should I reject you?” He asked, making her freeze in place. What the fuck did he just say? Minsi was too shocked to even speak. Speechless. He took a step toward her, and the gap between them disappeared. He held her chin and raised her face to look up at him. I blinked, swallowing as sparks of electricity jolted her body. “I won’t reject you, sweetheart. Because I see you, the real you. And you have no idea how long I had to wait for you. I’ll be damned if you think I’m giving you up.” He rubbed her cheek with his thumb fondly. Tears filled her eyes.

“You are mine. My long-awaited mate and my only Luna,” He added. Minsi blinked at his words and let the tears have their way. He stood beside her and wrapped his strong hand around her shoulder. She watched him turn to a group of men. The men that she didn’t even know were around this whole time. “Everyone!” He called out. Minsi held her breath as she waited for his next words. “This is your Luna, and you will treat her as such!” 

A whimper escaped her lips, and his grip tightened around her. “Sweetheart, are you alright?” She looked at him through her blurred vision. Her heart was tightening, and then she fell unconscious in his arms.
