Chapter 5: His Girlfriend

Alessia

"Leave my mate alone. Now!" 

What! Mate? A soft gasp escaped from my lips as I heard a cold and authoritative voice echo from the other side. 

I gulped down into nothing as a young handsome man came into view. 

He has a huge and bulky body. He has a good physique, curly hair, pink lips, and a pointed nose. A snake tattoo on his shoulder. He looks so handsome and hot. 

Handsome is an understatement. He looks like a hot demi-god. He has these domineering auras that radiate around him which is hard to resist. 

"Who are you?" One of the guards demanded as he walked closer to them with a cold look on his face. 

"My identity doesn't matter to you. You'd better leave my mate this instance if you love yourself," he said authoritatively, and I looked at him with a surprised look. 

Mate! Did I just hear him right? I thought I was hearing things earlier when he called me mate until he repeated it. 

Though I felt the connection and mate bond when I saw him, I felt it was a fake feeling because I believe it was too late to have a mate after so many years of looking for my mate. 

"Mate," my wolf, Lora, growled deeply in agreement with my thoughts. What! Is he my mate? I asked myself, finding it hard to believe I could have a mate. 

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up as one of the guards grabbed my shoulder and pulled me from the floor. 

"I said you should leave her," he growled, and his eyes flashed crimson red that I failed to notice. 

He dashed at the guard that held me, grabbed him, and slammed his head against a tree. The guard screamed out in pain and fell unconscious on the floor. 

"Who do you think you're, huh?" One of the guards asked in anger. 

"Your worst nightmare," he said with a smirk on his face. 

They dashed at him in anger. Surprisingly, he stood his ground with his arms crossed under his broad chest. 

Wow! I exclaimed in shock as I watched the guards roll on the floor wailing in pain. It was so surprising that he took down the guards at a time within a few seconds. 

He was so fast and incredible. 

"Who the hell are you?" One of them managed to ask with his broken lips. 

He smirked and walked closer to the guard. He stepped on the guard's finger and stretched a golden card at them. 

"What! We're sorry for…" he kicked the guard before he could complete his statement after staring at the golden card. 

"I don't want you to ever step foot in this land anymore," he warned, grabbing the card from them roughly and shoving it into his pocket. 

"We won't…" they stammered and scampered away in fear. 

Wow! How could he be so powerful?

I felt a cold shiver run down my spine as he turned his cold and intimidating gaze to me. I lowered my gaze and shifted backward uncomfortably with my heart beating rapidly. 

"You don't need to hide from me, mate," he said as he stood in front of me. 

He emphasized the last word of his statement. 'mate. I'm his mate. This powerful man is my mate.

I gulped down into nothing as he raised my chin and my hand landed on his two beautiful pair of eyes. 

His eye color was rare, it's a gold color. Though his eyes look enchanting and beautiful, they carry power and authority. 

He pulled off his hoodie and covered it around my chest which looked exposed. 

"I'm sorry for coming late," he muttered and pulled me into a tight hug. 

I hugged him back after hesitating for a while and sniffed. His scent was catching and accommodating. 

My wolf growled happily. Words can't explain how happy I'm at the moment. 

For the first time, the worries and sadness that disturbed my mind dispersed into thin air. 

We pulled away from the kiss and stared at each for a while. He leaned closer to me and planted a soft kiss on my forehead. 

I moved back as I felt an electric spark within me. "I'm sorry for being forward,"

"If you don't mind, I'd like you to come over to my place," he said, and I nodded my head affirmatively. 

Do I have a choice? That's the only thing I could do at the moment. I don't have a house to live in. 

The moon goddess sent him to me.

***

Wow! A soft gasp escaped from my lips as I stared at the magnificent cottage house before it. It was painted in white and the surroundings were decorated with flowers and roses.

"This is my house. How do you see it?" He asked with a smile.

"It's nice," I said, unable to take my gaze from the breathtaking sight of his surroundings. 

I love a strong and dependent man. 

"Come in," he held my hand and led me into his house. 

His house was spacious and well-decorated with a golden interior. It seems he has something in common with gold. Or who is he? 

"Don't be scared," he said as though he'd sensed my fear after he gestured to me to walk into his room. 

I decided to follow him because he saved me from the guards. He wouldn't have saved me if he'd wanted to harm me. And besides, he's my mate. 

I snapped out of my thoughts and walked into his room. My gaze darted to the king-sized bed that was in a corner. 

"What happened to you earlier? Why were the guards after you?" He asked, and I gulped down into nothing. 

I decided not to reveal my identity to him because I'm yet to know more about him and his pack, and that's because my father's pack has a lot of rival packs. 

"I ran away from the pack because they wanted to punish me for someone else's mistake," I lied. 

My heart bled as I remembered how Xavier betrayed me. He planned with my twin sister and jilted me. 

They must have thought they have won but they're not aware that I'm not going to relent until I get back my pack. 

I'll make sure they regret their action for rejecting me. 

"Oh! That's bad. They should have conducted a proper investigation before concluding,"

It's quite bad that I didn't tell him about my true identity as the princess of the Grey Moon pack, probably not anymore. 

"You must be tired and hungry. Give me a few minutes. I'll be back," he said and walked away. 

I breathed out in relief as the door slammed shut with a loud bang. I'm glad that he didn't ask me about my background. 

I'll have to look for a lie whenever he asks me. 

"Thank you, moon goddess," I screamed out happily and jumped on the comfy king-sized bed. 

A few hours, I could remember that I was crying and wailing in pain because of heartbreak but I'm glad the moon goddess made my mate locate me. 

I hugged the pillow tightly with a smile beaming on my face. 

I snapped out of my reverie and looked up as the door pulled open with a creaking sound. He walked in with a tray of food in his hand and dropped it on the wooden table.

"Come and eat," he said and drew the table closer to the bedside. 

I sat from the bed and moved closer to the other side of the bed. I opened the plate and gulped down into nothing as the aroma of the food hit my nose. 

"You cook this yourself?" I asked as my gaze landed on the plate of food on the table. 

"No, the maid did," he said. 

Does he have a maid? He must be rich or probably a businessman. I'm going to ask him about that later. 

"Take this. It's nice,"

I stared at him hesitantly as he stretched a spoonful of chicken soup at me. I licked my lips after he fed me with a spoonful of chicken soup. "Thanks," I muttered, and he nodded his head affirmatively. 

"I'll take my leave so you can have a good rest. When you need something, don't hesitate to call the maid," he said, pecked my cheeks, and walked out of the room. 

I nodded my head, pushed the table aside, and climbed on the bed. I closed my eyes and slept off.

"Hey, wake up,"

I was woken up from my slumber by a loud harsh voice. I forced my eyes open and looked up as the person shook me fiercely. 

I arched my eyebrows as my gaze landed on the lady who was standing before me with a cold look on her face. She was elegantly dressed in a short gown. 

Who is she? Why does she interrupt my sleep? I asked myself inwardly. 

"Stand up from his bed," she yelled. 

"Who are you?" I asked and stood up from the bed. 

"What! I should be asking you that question, b*tch," she cursed angrily. 

"What the hell are you doing in my boyfriend's house?" She asked. 

"Huh?"
