CHAPTER 6

“What you are my daughter's mate”

Alpha Gerald had already gotten to the scene in between us.

I didn't pay attention to him, I was subtly sizing the girl up, I didn't address her as my mate because am not sure she will even be.

She was a sight to behold, her curves were enough to get a low rank wolf on his knees, her hair complemented her eyes so well.

She was gorgeous, I must admit.

“You can't take her away “ Gerald continued

I didn't have any intention of taking her , I am not interested in having a mate . I just want to live a life free of additional people, I hate the presence of people.

The few people that live in my palace are my father's trusted and most liked people who had also contributed positively to my life.

Abruptly, I turned around, motioning Theo to follow me. I didn't say a single word

I matched to my room with Theo following closely behind me, I release a breath I didn't know I was holding in

I punched the closest seat to me and let out a loud growl

“Get everyone ready we leave in a few minutes”

“But my Lord, we need to give your mate time to pack too”

“I don't have a mate” I said trying to convince myself

“ My Lord, it's against the laws to ignore a mate you just met”

“I don't fucking care about the laws, I have always preferred the comfort of my home and barely stepping out because I didn't want to stumble on a mate”

I knew coming here was a mistake, if I had just left when the meeting ended I wouldn't be in this mess

“I want mate, I want mate” Carl continued chanting inside me 

A turmoil of emotions clouding me

"I don't want to die a miserable death just like my dad,my fate will be tied to another person's mortality,I don't want that for myself"

"But my Lord......"Theo tried again

I raised my hand signaling him to keep quiet and this was the end of the conversation.

"Pack your bags and get everyone ready in two minutes"I said ruffling my hair. Theo excused himself.

In a minute,he was back announcing that everyone was ready and awaiting me outside the pack house.  

 I just couldn't do this, I can't accept my newly found mate. My father took his life because of the death of his mate,if at my young age I had understood the basics of the bond of a mate I wouldn't have held that knife that led to my mother's death as I was told.

I handed my bag over to Theo and headed out, carefully avoiding the pack members present in the party.The party came to an end abruptly, everyone had already left for their home. The only people seen around were the pack members of Light Moon and my entourage.

The Alpha Gerald looked more relaxed than he was before, it's funny how he thinks if I wanted my mate I wouldn't take her.

Carl was hurt inside of me,I could feel him, the mixture of anger, sadness and rage was evident for Carl. He didn't understand why I was leaving our mate behind, I will speak to him later.

I looked around absentmindedly, she isnt here.

"I am not interested in her, why am I searching for her" I said under my breath annoyed at myself. I finally got outside the pack house and motioned for Theo and the others to work faster.

"Can we transform now" Theo asked

"Mindlink Oscar to send the car, I wouldn't want to unleash Carl now am having a hard time keeping him inside there, his rage is choking me if let loose he might run back there and drag that girl along with us" I finished my explanation pointing at the pack house we just left

"For now let's make use of our legs"Theo nodded and stepped back striding slowly behind me

The journey to the palace was rather too long than expected, it was easier for humans to walk this long distance but as werewolves it was harder we preferred running.

Even though I would never show it, I felt bad for allowing my people follow me because of my selfish reasons.

The atmosphere at the palace was nostalgic, the few people in the palace working and residing there were all outside, the silence was worst than the other times, the people looked at me like I had committed a sacrilege.

I know one of my men must have mindlink somebody that led to the whole palace knowing, I didn't care though.

I swiftly walked past them to my room, shutting the door and ready to speak to Carl who was still mad at me.

I tried explaining to him about my reasons but he wasn't heeding to any of it.

"I want mate, let's get mate"

I shut him down completely when he didn't come to reason with my decision. The turmoil of emotions made me feel uncomfortable. I took a cold shower and slept off.
