Chapter 2: You think I won't know?

Carlos

 I felt a pang of sadness fill my body immediately after noticing that I had found my mate. My face turned into that of a gloomy person. I couldn't help but feel bad for my brother. I don't know why all this is happening. I had thought that I would have a chance to get to be with him soon but it all got disrupted by the presence of someone. I couldn't help but hate the fact that I met my mate. It feels more suffocating to know that my mission will be stopped halfway because of my mate. I couldn't help but feel heartbroken. I couldn't help but feel sad and angry at the moon goddess for giving me a mate. 

  I knew that I didn't deserve to have a mate. I knew that my mate coming to my pack meant a lot of problems. 

  I am only twenty years old but I know what is right and what is wrong. Currently I'm with the alpha of my pack alpha Danielle who also happens to be my chosen mate. I know most of the people in the pack don't like the alpha nor do they want to interact with her but I don't have a choice. I knew that I was only trying to make petty excuses for myself but there was nothing I could do. I know that me being with Alpha Danielle should mean a lot to me because I will eventually become an Alpha in the end but I'm not thrilled by that but I simply can do nothing because of some unknown reason best known to me.

 I am on my way to the pack border with Alpha Danielle. We were informed by the patrol guards that some rogues were caught at the border of the pack. Our pack had been killing rogues at sight but an order just came in from the werewolf king to stabilize the killings of the rogues. We were told to investigate each rogue to know about them before deciding what is best. It was said that we should take some rogues into our pack, and that we should make sure that they are harmless before accepting them into the pack. Although in our pack we are specialized in killing rogues whether innocent or not, we kill at the sight. 

  The news was released yesterday but we still kill rogues at sight without bothering about what the werewolf king said. I knew that this is unlike me. I don't like bloodshed but I was forced to do this. My parents have brought me up with love but I don't think that's the case anymore. I know that I have to do everything possible that I can do to make sure I set things right and I don't mind going to extreme ends to get that. 

  I had to hide all the emotions that I was feeling while masking it. I knew how dangerous it is for anyone to find out that I'm her mate.

 I know I will be forced to reject her and I don't want that even if I will have to go to extreme ends then I will have to hide everything from everyone. I knew it would be hard on my mate to wait for me to get things done but I don't care. I know I'm doing everything possible to set things right. I will make sure I cause her no problem, and I will reject her without anybody knowing. I knew I was making preparations without even seeing her. 

  My mouth was agape immediately I saw my mate. She was on the ground kneeling, she was the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. She is more pretty than I ever imagined. It hurts me to know that I will have to reject her for the sake of my mission. I knew that it would only compromise my mission but now I feel scared. 

  I feel scared of losing my mate to someone else but I knew that is what I should do. I know that I will have to do things that will favor me. I know I will have to abandon some things to get what I want even though I won't be happy in the end. 

  I knew that after my mission is completed then I can try getting all that I have lost back. I knew it would be hard for me to decide on that, I knew it's almost impossible for me to get back all that I have lost. 

“Alpha, what do you think we should do to them?” I heard a voice jolting me out of my thoughts. 

 I stared at Danielle hoping that she would be willing to leave the rogues. I knew that she was ruthless yesterday and we both went on a killing spray yesterday. She was angry that the rogues would be let loose, and she planned on making yesterday's own put a stop to it. 

 I was praying and hoping that Danielle won't make the decision to kill them, I stared at her intently. 

 “You should take them to the cellar, and then I will question them” I heard her say and I breathed a sigh of relief. 

  “Let's go, I have something to show you” Danielle said, clinging onto me while dragging me away from the pack's border. 

  I took a peek at my back and I could feel my mate sigh sadly and the look on her face isn't something good. She looked like she would burst out into tears soon. I feel bad about it but I knew not to dwell on it. I knew that there is no way I would be showing it to everyone that she is my mate. I knew that it would only bring harm to her and Danielle might decide to hurt him. I knew that if she was aware of it. 

  I knew that I would have to tread with caution but I knew that it would be hard for me not to acknowledge my mate. I know I will be making the right decision by rejecting her, and it will keep her away from danger. I tried to concentrate on what was going on but I found it hard to do so. 

 Suddenly, Danielle stopped while staring at me with a wicked grin on her face. I could feel the evil auras that surrounded her. She looked more of a devil than I thought. She had an evil glint in her eyes, and I averted my eyes away from her. It was then I realized that I am in her room already. I was lost in thoughts earlier that I couldn't concentrate on my surroundings. 

 “What's the matter?” I questioned after a while of silence. She had an evil look on her face which was starting to scare me. I knew what she could do if she was to find out about her being my mate. 

 I could feel my heart beating rapidly as she stared at me, and all I can do at that moment is to pray that she doesn't know about it. “You think I won't know?” she said all of a sudden.
