Chapter 5
Going After Her
Adriana took off to the woods holding her chest as she breathes heavily."There is no way I can do this, I need to cool off a bit." She spoke to herself.
"What did you just do? Are you even in your right senses? Our mate just said hi, what you should have said is hello, idiot." Whix got so angry at Adriana.
"I am sorry Whix, but I was just too nervous, what do I do now? I just fooled myself with my actions by running right?" She asked biting her nails."Yes you did and it's even worse right now, your attitude might read another meaning to him now, he will feel rejected by his mate, I guess you are happy now." Whix got vexed at this.
"I am not, I feel so sorry for him, I can't go back there now, it will look somehow, let me just sit here in the woods and wait for him to leave, maybe another day when we cross part, I will apologize to him," Adriana added talking her seat on a rock."I hate you now." Whix started making some loud disturbing noises and just to punish Adriana for her actions for running away."Please stop making those sounds in my head, it's disturbing." She cried out holding her head.
"Now you see how I feel for running away from our mate just like that." Whix voiced out and continued making a noise to disturb Adriana thinking.
"You are lucky aunt Sarah locked my powers, if not I would have shut you up with it." She threatened her.
"Oh, I am glad she did, human."
"Now can you shut up now, I need to think now."
"Fine I will let you think but make sure you bring me closer to my mate, heat season will be starting soon enough and then your urge will be very high, so better think of how you work things with him so marriage rites can take place, I told you a piece of my mind."
"I heard you and thank you, Whix." Adriana groaned out Loud.
"Sweet lord, what I just did is insane, how can I face him now?"Adriana started racking her brain to think of a means to make this up with her just found mate she ran from.While at the bar, Xavier is still confused about his mate running from him, he walked straight to his car to see for himself if he got some dirt on his face that made her run off just like that, yet he found nothing disappointing on his face.
"Am I too ugly for her? Hell no, many ladies in the pack confess how cute I am and how they wished the moon goddess fated us together, this is so humiliating for an alpha like me, an alpha of all alphas, I should never have taken those steps to approach her, never," he said out in regrets.
"What are you going to do now Xavier? Do not tell me you want to leave?" Red started talking to him again.
"What do you think I do? Go back to her the second time and watch her reject me again? Hell no, I guess the moon goddess made a mistake somewhere." Xavier said out with no excitement found in his face.
"For our sake, just go talk to her again, if she says no, we leave in shame going back home, what do you think of that?" Red suggested a point out to help them both with their mate.
"There is no point in doing that? I hate leaving places with shame, come on, you know our identity red, a powerful alpha." Xavier tried bringing up his pride as the almighty Alpha.
"Please you just have to do it for us." Red pleaded.
"Okay fine, one last time, I will do it then."
Xavier agreed to sniff her out and give it another try in talking to her again.
"That's what I am talking about, having those guts, I know you got this." Red made a full of Xavier.
Xavier finally walked to the woods with his eyes glowing so bright in the dark searching for his mate as he also tried to smell her when he caught her scent, he had to walk in a haste to where she is.
"Mate, I can feel him approaching us, I love him already, despite what you did to him, he decided to find us again, I feel like popping out my tails," Whix said with full excitement and energy this time.
"He is getting closer Whix, what do I do? I ran the first time, should I apologize for running away from him?" Adriana had the look of regretting her actions on her face.
"Just remain still and let him speak first and do not run again, if you do, I will just stop talking with you or helping you in anything." Whix threatened."Like you mean it," Adriana said with a smile.Xavier finally got close to her and held her hands, her heart was beating extremely fast.
"Hi again," Xavier said smiling at her.
"Hello." She smiled back at him speaking to Whix."Is holding hands part of the whole mate thing?""Oh mine he is so handsome and I love the sound of his voice, I must say we are both lucky to have him as our mate," Whix said not replying to a word Adriana said.
"What is hi again you moron, I guess I am in support if she runs off again," Red added."I am short of words that's why, but don't worry I got this, she won't run, I am holding her soft hands, her skin is so spotless you know."
"You are so annoying," Red responded in a rude tone.
"The wood is beautiful right?" Xavier asked with a smile.
"Xavier? Of all words and lines you could think of is the wood looks beautiful? This is an insult on my part." Red said in a vexing tone.
"Whix what do I say, he just said these ugly woods is beautiful?""Flow with the conversation love," Whix advises her."Yeah, the woods look so beautiful tonight." She avoided his gaze."My name is Xavier though I am not from here, I just came by to relax my head when I caught your scent." Xavier finally got the gut to speak freely with her.
"What a nice name!!" Whix complemented."Yes he got a cute name but I hate the fact he has to bear the same name with the traitor son." Adriana maintained a smiling face while speaking with her wolf.
"When it's time to get your revenge we do that okay, they all need to pay but right now, let address what is at our front right now, our mate, if possible do not bring any issues or talk of the pack, let's enjoy the moment of romance a bit," Whix suggested.
"Yes, you are right.""My name is Adriana, I am from this town and work at the bar you saw me first, nice to meet you, Xavier." She blushed as Xavier rubbed her hands saying, "The pleasure is all mine."
"Why are your eyes glowing?" She asked him.
"Red, I know this is you, can you stop now, I am trying to have a conversation here." He added to Red.
"Tell her about me please so I can get to know her wolf side too." Red disturbed him to interact with Adriana's wolf side but they are both not ready to shift.
"I will but no shifting tonight okay?"
"Whatever." Red hisses.
"My wolf side is Red and he is happy to meet you tonight."
"Wow, mine is Whix and she is just super excited.""So Adriana I would love to know more about you as my mate, do you mind if we can get a drink at the place you work?" Xavier asked but Adriana had to take off his hands off hers but he kept thinking if he said something to piss her off.
Chapter 6First Kiss From A Mate"Why did you remove his fine hands off your ugly hands?" Whix yelled at her."I just felt a bit weird that's why he should not be scared too, I am not running if that's what he thinks will happen." She tried defending her actions."Moon goddess please help my human form to act like every reasonable human, Adriana is so senseless." Whix made a tease of her."Did I say something wrong? I am sorry if I did." Xavier apologise with his charming voice and she felt the cold chills over her body."No, not at all, you never said anything wrong and yes, I would love a drink so we get to know ourselves very well, I think we are destined to be together for a reason," Adriana said giving him her full smile"That's better then, so shall we?" He acted like the gentleman he is.Adriana cleared her throat giving a sign of her having a word to say to him."Adriana what are you planning to do? K
Chapter 7Kill The Witches"We just caught a witch." The man said been so serious about it, he is also part of the elders that brings information to alpha Collen directly.This made the alpha a bit worried knowing it's a bad sign."What do you mean by that? Do not play pranks with me, I thought the witches left in our town were burnt down in their coven, and those who are far from here hearing the same news will never wish to return here and face death.""I am serious Alpha, she was caught practicing some spells at the cemetery where other witches were buried." The elder who brought the information responded."Oh I see, she must have come to get the moonstone from us, Stefan, my instinct proves it, send someone to check if the moonstone is still intact, if she takes it away with a spell, then we will not even be aware of it." He ordered Stefan."I will do as you have instructed right now," Stefan said exiting t
Chapter 8The jealous type"I think you are in love already," Red said to Xavier."Can you just let me be Red?""Aren't you the one who was so scared to even go and meet her?" Red pressed on, annoying Xavier, who groaned, parking the car in front of a bar."But I finally did so Red, can you just let me take charge of things here?"Xavier alighted from the car and quickly ran to the other side to open the car door for Adriana but he was pretty surprised to see her out of the car."Oh, I was just going to open the car door up for you," he said with a pretty nervous grin, rubbing the back of his neck."Oh, I am sorry. I am not used to all this" Adriana replied with a smile, a smile that seemed to portray her shy side, a side of hers that had hardly ever been shown before."Don't act all good in front of him, I know how you treat him" Whix said to Adriana with a huff."I have never treated you badly... And say no more, I
Chapter 9Xavier watched as Adriana shot up from the chair she was sitting on. Xavier was pretty much surprised at the sudden move. "Do you want to dance?" Adriana asked him and Xavier agreed to it immediately. What was the fun of coming to the bar with a girl and not dancing? Adriana held his hands and led him to the dance floor. She began dancing crazily and Xavier could not hold back his chuckle. His mate was really something else. She watched her body move and sway to the rhythm of the music. She seemed to be lost in her own world. Xavier stared at her, not moving an inch. His tongue licked his lips and he gulped, he was lusting after her. That he was sure of. As if to worsen his present situation, Adriana walked over to him and drew him towards her seductively. Adriana seemed bolder to him. "Don't you think she is drunk?" Red asked. "Red! Who gets drunk after three cups? She is just havin
Chapter 10"For What reason do you think Adriana didn't come home last night?" Laura asked, playing with Jeremy's hair. "I don't know, she might just be in the woods. Don't worry about her, she's a very strong she wolf and she loves being mischievous anyways." Jeremy replied. " Seems to me like you know quite a lot about her." Laura replied and Jeremy could sense a tinge of jealousy in her voice. "Not as much as I know about you. She is my best friend but you... You are my mate." Jeremy kisses Laura for a short period before Laura broke the kiss. "What if she is in some sort of danger?" Laura asked. " I know Adriana pretty well, she is not in any danger, I think she is danger herself." Jeremy said and Laura chuckled at his words. *Adriana woke up with a hangover, she could feel a slight headache and she very well knew that the bed she was lying on wasn't in any way her bed. Her blurry vision cleared up and she saw Xavier
Chapter 11Aunty Sarah was busy cooking for her dinner when a knock hit her door. "Coming" she walked to the door and opened up to find a woman, a fellow witch breathing heavily. "What's wrong?" Aunty Sarah asked, letting the witch into her home and shutting the door tightly after her. "How did you get here?" Aunty Sarah asked. " I am not the only one here, we are now many here" " Why did you all leave the hideout?" Aunty Sarah asked. " Where... Where is the leader of the coven?" The witch asked. " Are you forgetting our deal? You all should be patient and wait till Adriana has been able to get a headway, do you want us all to be really wiped out?!" Aunty Sarah scolded. " We... We just..." "You all have no excuse! Going into the moonstones town in huge numbers, you think you won't be found out? What town is that? It belongs to the moonstones pack! Now, tell everyone else to go back into hiding. And pass a sec
Chapter 12The silent treatment?*" How did the elimination go?" Alpha Collen asked Stefan." It went well, no other witch has been found"" Good! Where is Xavier?"" He... He went away for a while"" That son! He had better be back soon, this isn't the time for him to be away, he needs to prepare for his upcoming birthday and try finding his mate, we need a Luna"" And have you gotten the fake mate ready?"" Still making arrangements, please pardon my slow response. I am just trying my best to find the strongest she-wolf around" Stefan replied." You still have over a week, search carefully, I want only the best, one that everyone would accept quickly and no word about this should come out, understood?"" Understood"Stefan exited the great Hall and picked his phone to make a call. He had to create the compilations of the strongest she-wolves in each pack, the snowpack was his main target.The moo
Chapter 13Xavier watched her run off with a smile on his face."C'mon, let's have some fun!!" Adriana screamed, calling out to him.The fact was that Xavier was not here for the fun but he was here because of a myth he had heard of.Kissing your loved one on the highest point of the merry-go ride could help strengthen the love to be eternal and that was what he wanted with Adriana, an eternal love.He tucked his hands into his pockets and walked to meet her but was stopped by a bunch of young girls."Hello handsome man, can I have your digits?" The girl, who seemed to be the leader of the group asked, twirling her hair.She was pretty but yet not as pretty as Adriana, his mate. If it was the past, he would have definitely accepted the offer, it would do him nothing anyways but now he had his mate and one thing he was not ready to do was to cheat on her."Actually I....""He is my man, so kindly leave" Adriana cut off Xavi
