THE FORBIDDEN MATE

CHAPTER ONE

One thing I loved about the night was it never really did reveal your flaws and it was the only time I could walk freely without a hoodie covering my face or without a cap. It felt refreshing not having to hide and just being myself out in the open even if I was alone.

I could hear the music blaring out from my pack's mansion and I knew the other's were having fun but I really didn't care that I was excluding myself. I didn't really fit in to begin with and everyone knew me as the girl with a huge scar on her face or the girl who always kept to herself . But none of that mattered as I stood out here in the middle of the woods now gazing at the crescent moon above me. 

It was really cool and I loved the gentle rustling of the trees. I soon stripped off my clothes and shifted to my wolf form.

Having ran for a while around the woods and exploring in the darkness , I decided to change back so I walked to where I had left my clothes but it was barely seconds after I had put on my shirt exempting my skirt when I felt the presence of someone approaching .Someone I immediately recognised through his scent and a sudden fear gripped me.

I tried hastily to put on my clothes but couldn't and soon we came in contact. I gasped immediately as his gaze went further down my body and I instinctively dragged my shirt downward . What on earth was Nathan doing here?

"Turn around. "I shouted and realisation dawned on him that I was half naked then he averted his eyes and swiftly turned away from me.

 "I'm sorry." He said but I was more focused on putting on my skirt and when I was done. I quickly got away as fast as possible. I did hear him say my name though but there was no way I would be so close to him or talk to him alone and then letting him have a closer look at my scar without me having a melt down.

Once I was in the comfort of my room , I locked the door and went to sit on my bed , still wondering why I crossed path with Nathan. 

Everyone was inside so why on earth was he outside alone . I mean he's free to walk but it seemed as if he was searching for someone and I was the only one outside. Could it be me? No way. 

That's probably a silly thought .There's no reason why he'd search for me . I can literally count the number of times we've talked and it's six well seven now because of what just happened and it's never a proper conversation. Also he's the alpha's son and wouldn't want to roam around with someone like me. 

Why am I even thinking about this? I should forget about him .Yea, I should probably do that but I can't especially when I still feel tensed about it all. I should go to sleep.

I shifted into my bed and laid flat gazing at the ceiling trying to sleep but all that was popping up in my head was Nathan's face and I felt strange.

NATHAN'S POV

If there was anything certain at the point Kylie ran away from me after I bumped into her in the woods was that, she was wierd but weirdly fascinating. I really can't tell the reason why she's always running away from me. It sometimes makes me wonder if it's because she doesn't like me or because of something else. I really can't tell and have actually been hoping on asking her about it or perhaps getting to know her more but I never really got the chance and it's sometimes hard to approach her when she's always behaving like a ghost. Staying away from the pack, acting like a rogue , having her hoodie over her face and never really contributing her opinion to any issue. 

   It got really discouraging sometimes because I actually felt an unexplainable way towards her and wishes to know her more and know why she acts the was she does.

    I stood still after Kylie had left and was still thinking . It was the first time I had seen her face uncovered and I wonder why she hid such beauty that even a scar couldn't alter.

  " Nathan"

  I turned around to see Mitchell approaching towards me. I do get tired of having her follow me almost everywhere.

 " You left "

" Yes , i wanted to take a walk." I replied. 

  " Through the woods? "

 " Yes ." I could hear the unbelief in her tone and maybe she was right to think so. I don't even know why I came out, Maybe, It was because I knew Kylie would be out here too.

"Well, it is cool and the view of the moon and stars is perfect also." She said looking at me but I was quick to look away.

 "You know, very soon Nathan, we would be chosen as mates by the moon goddess who live up there. I'm certain of it. " I let out a sigh.

I'm not certain of it for sure but there was really little I could do since my parents and everyone already consider that we would be mates but no one considers what I think or if I have my eyes set out on another or probably have even found out who my mate was.

It was really hard trying to push Mitchell away since she's had that thought that we we're meant to be when in fact, I feel nothing for her.

She soon walked up to me pulling my arms into hers . I really do wish to tell her but that's probably going to hurt her and so I said nothing when she wrapped her arms around me in an embrace.
