Chapter three

Chapter 3

Laura's POV

The door opened, and I sat up immediately, with the wide light passing through the small window, I could tell that it was morning already.

was ready for death, it seemed like it would happen soon. It wasn't like I had the best night as I kept dreaming of so many ways I might die today.

I heard footsteps and raised my head looking from his clean and shiny black shoes to his jean blue trousers up to his white polo shirt that didn't hide his well-defined muscles. His arms were covered in tattoos that he didn't even care to hide.

"Wow," I murmured.

He is fucking hot, I heard my wolf complimented and I nodded in agreement. Though I haven't seen his face, I could smell how fucking hot he was.

Like lightning, my wolf began to dance within me like it had found its mate whereas we both knew our mate was back at home. Ah, that place was no longer home.

Slowly, my eyes shifted from his chest which I have been staring at for the longest time to his face and my heart literally stopped beating

"What is this!" I exclaimed mentally as I mentally drew.

He had a well-defined jawline with a little stubble, he looked as if he hadn't shaved in a week.

Yet, he managed to make it look sexy, his hair reached his neck, it was slightly ruffled, his blue eyes stared at me and I swallowed.

Who is this? I wondered, what is such a handsome man doing in a cell?

He smelled so good that I couldn't help but inhale his scent deeply. And I saw him mimic me, he inhaled too then stared at me weirdly.

Was he alright? But just then it hit me, and my eyes widened.

It was a familiar yet more amazing feeling, like when I found out the alpha's son was my mate before he rejected me, and I became mate-less.

No, that can't be possible. Not to this handsome god in front of me.

“I think the moon goddess gave us another mate.” My wolf said.

But I shook my head not believing it, that can't be. No way. Even if she decides to give me a new mate, why now? Why here? What if he rejects me just like the former one?

I had been announced a rogue now, no one wants to be mated to a rogue.

"I don't think he is our mate,” I said to my wolf, but it ignored me and continued to get the attention of the man before me.

I somehow wanted it to be wrong, but he smelt far too good, and I knew this only happened when one is so close to his mate.

He frowned, his hands gripping the door tightly like he was battling with his emotions. I looked back at him with a confused gaze.

After a while, he came closer, I swallowed, crawling backward with my butt ignoring the dust on the floor.

“Which pack are you from?” He asked, stepping closer to me, I scrambled back, hitting my back on the wall.

“I… I'm.” I tried speaking, but I just didn't know what to say, my heart was louder than it did earlier.

“So you were rejected before.” He said to himself and I froze. How did he know? Can he smell it?

“And you're my mate.” He hummed as if tasting the words in his mouth. My eyes widened, surprised that he knew already.

My wolf wanted to go to him immediately, yet I stayed stubbornly, I didn't want another repeat rejection.

He came closer and he squatted staring at my face, face to face, he looked much better up close, I got lost in his blue eyes, forgetting where I was. Not until I was held by the chin and I swallowed, my heart thumping irregularly.

He stared at me for what seemed like an eternity, his blue eyes darkened to the deepest shade of blue, a kaleidoscope of emotions hit me as I looked into his eyes, and he released me, stepping back immediately.

I waited for the words, but I didn't hear any come from him, he kept staring at me with a frown on his face, the rejection I waited for never came.

I looked down, playing with my hands. I couldn't see his eyes like I did earlier. The terror of what I'll find there made me look at the floor instead.

“Uhm.” I looked up, I paused immediately, his eyes landed directly at mine. I sucked in my breath and he smirked and that sent shivers down my spine as he looked so handsome. I came to the realization that it was dangerous for me to stay around him.

“Come out.” He ordered us to walk out of the room. I stood up and quickly followed, wincing as I took every step, my legs hurt so much, and my whole body ached.

“Please wait,” I called out as I tried walking quickly to catch up with him. He halted his steps before turning to glare at me.

I stepped back gripping my clothes tightly, he walked towards me in a determined domineering stride.

Before a blink of an eye, I found myself hit against a tree, his hand gripped my throat immediately and held me there. My eyes widened and fear surfaced on my face. I gasped for breath, choking as he kept grabbing my neck, his grip was like an iron grip, and he didn't let go.

My eyes met his, pleading silently for him to release him as I couldn't form any words but he only held my throat tighter. Tears slipped from my eyes and I could see the death I wanted all these years right before me.

I was going to die in the hands of my second mate, what bad luck, I thought

His grip on my throat tightened, his claws dug into my skin, and the smile he gave me was sadistic,

“My mate is a fucking rogue.” He spat as he threw me on the ground like I was paper. Did he release me?

I stared at the ground, refusing to look at him. I wasn't sure I would like what I would see if I looked up. Hate, spite, anger, rage, disappointment, and every other emotion I had seen before in Harold's eyes.

My head throbbed, and my breath hitched in my throat as I tried to catch my breath.

Tears kept rolling down my cheeks and I wondered what I had done in my past life to be treated this badly.

He scoffed, "Weakling". Turning his back he started walking away.

As he walked he said without looking at me,

"Don't think I'll reject you like your former mate. I will make sure you wish you never crossed paths with me and you'll beg for me to reject you. I hate rogues that I use them for dinner"

My eyes widened when he said those words. The one whom I had prayed for the moon goddess not to ever cross paths with was the same person the moon goddess has made my second mate!

This is impossible! Why do you hate me so much?! I screamed inwardly at the moon goddess
