《Mated to a god》 Chapter 1: Prologue Chapter 1: Prologue "That''s what she told me.Minerva doesn¡¯t tell lies, she¡¯s a fey too, remember." The Moon Goddess¡¯s eyes narrows immediately at the other gods in the room but particrly on Fate. "You know that so why deny what I am telling you." The person she refers to scoffs at her. "Because of the exact words she said.That we are in a book and we are like puppets, being controlled by someone? It sounds even more humorous as I say it.Are you sure you aren''t doing this to get back at me for your daughter''s situation?" The Moon Goddess can¡¯t believe her ears. Her rage rises up immediately and her hands tighten on her chair, breaking a piece of it in the process. "Are you sure that you should really be called ¡®Fate¡¯ at all." "Just stop, please guys." One of the gods groans, not knowing what to say to stop their bickering. "Fate please relieve what you did to Selina¡¯s daughter.If this will bring about some problems then find another way." He turns to the Moon Goddess who hasn''t lost her touch in ring. "And Selina, I do believe you but it also sounds unreal.I will look into it personally.Now please, can we have our lunch together in peace.I didn¡¯t invite you all here to break down my house." The table remains silent as do the rest of the gods...but it''s only for a while. Destiny''s fingers wrap around the body of her ss of wine and she brings it to her lips with her mischievous eyes flicking around. "l am a bit surprised that a number of you came.Fate, Selina, myself and my honey bunch." "It''s just a little get together.We don¡¯t have half of the gods here, Destiny.Please don¡¯t make a big show out of it." Destiny shrugs at the god¡¯s -or as she calls him, her honey bunch¡¯s- response. "At least he epts his creatures and h h h h They all turn to the female who appears out of nowhere, seated on one of the free chairs in the room.Her hair packed into an elegant bun with her dark skin glittering as sheys on the chair, her legs dangling out of it.All the gods be alert, ready to attack if she tries anything.Selina, just sits still and watches the show.They have no idea who she is and how she got here which is odd. They are gods, they know everything in the universe. "It''s really hard to form a cool hyped sentence in these situations but I always do it somehow." "And you are?" Fate asks, "And how did you get in here?" "That''s exactly what I wanted to ask." N?velDrama.Org ? content. The god that Destiny calls ¡®honey bunch¡¯ narrows his eyes at the intruder. The intruder that rolls her eyes at them and then sits straight. "You guys have really out done yourselves.This chair is extrafy." She exhales with a smile. "I just love my creations, don¡¯t you, Selina?" The goddess the question is thrown to shrugs like it¡¯s none of her business but in the next second her eyes narrows. "I don¡¯t like one of your creations named Fate." Fateughs out without humor. "Is this the one you''re talking about.The one who somehow created us, humans are creating supernaturals now." His sarcasm doesn''t go unnoticed by the writer and she scoffs. "Of course, when I give my creations the freewill they will turn away from me and think that they became gods on their own." The gods can only look at her in confusion. Confusion on what she is saying and confusion on why she is still in here. "What is the human rambling about?" Destiny finally speaks and the answer she gets is a small smile from the writer. "I am here to prove to you all about who I am and my first act, will be giving one of you a mate." Fateughs out with humor this time. He can¡¯t believe the human that stands before them. "Gods don''t get mates, human..We choose our partners." Destiny responds, her eyes on the god seated close to her. The writer stands on her feet as she begins to count, ignoring Destiny. "Who am I going to choose... oh ya, you!" A smile is stered on the writer¡¯s face. Chapter 2: Her Situation Chapter 2: Her Situation *20 yearster* "Is that a yes or a no?" I can hear his scruffy voice crying out of his throat as I continue to write down on the once nk paper. "Why do you need the funds?" I look up, into the young males eyes and he immediately looks away, his dark lusty eyes out of my view. He coughs out, adjusting in his chair as his ears gets red in embarrassment.I patiently wait for his answer and when he doesn''t respond, I say. "So you don¡¯t need the funds." He finally summons courage to look back at me and his eyes widens with something other than lust. "I- l do. I really do." "Why do you need the funds?" "To pay for my house bills." I tilt my head and narrow my eyes at the same time. "Why do you need the funds?" He looks up at me in shock, blinking a couple of times. Intertwining his fingers together, he answers sullenly. "My mother has a rare disease and I can¡¯t afford to-" I stand on my feet. "It has been transferred to your ount." "Ho." "Our technology is far more greater than yours, human." His mouth closes immediately at my stoic tone. "And no, I will not go out with you." His mouth then opens to argue but I am already out of the room, the door closing behind me. "You did a number on him, princess." My feet stops immediately and I turn back to stare at the guard who spoke. His midnight hair catches a bit of the sunlight and the smirk on his face disappears when he catches my gaze. "I did, didn¡¯t I." He rolls off me andys by my side with a loud creak erupting from the bed and we continue to pant, our breaths bing mingled. Without warning, I hop on him and he smirks up at me, his hair stered on his face by sweat. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. "Another round? You sure have a lot of stamina." He eyes focus on my chest and I don¡¯t make any effort to cover myself up. "Lam only charmed by your will to please me, Romeo." His hands slowly climbs up to my chest with his eyes fulled with something I have beening face to face with all my life, lust. "My name isn¡¯t Romeo but I am a hell of a lucky guy to find myself in your bed and to be able to touch you." The door opens in the next second and I turn to it casually, to see my cousin standing in ce of it.She doesn''t look surprised to see me with a different male wolf.The male on the other hand, drags the sheets to his bare chest. "Izzy, mum said you should be at the dinner table in five minutes." I sense the male¡¯s withdrawal and his hands leaves my body. "As she instructed, I will be there in five minutes or more." Depending if I decide to take a quickie. She nods her small head vigorously and she pulls the door to herself in her attempt to close it.It closes shut and the male under me groans instantly, with his hands covering his face. "The little princess saw us.This is bad, this is bad." I hop off him, bending down to grab my clothes and I throw his to him. "She¡¯s not going to tell, this is not the first time she has seen me with a male.I trust her to keep a secret." I hear no more sounds from him but I can very much sense his eyes on me. "She knows that you sleep about? I didn¡¯t even know that until now." "Like I said, she will keep it a secret, she has been doing so for a very long time.¡¯ I say when his terrified voice reaches my ears. "I''ll call you when I need you next, Romeo." With onest look at my clothes, I leave the room and head straight for the dining room. "You called me?" The grey eyed female turns to me, looking away from my uncle, the king.They are seated on the table, the table that has food on it and by they, I mean, my aunt, my uncle and their children. "Yes, it¡¯s time for breakfast.I¡¯m sure that you''re done with the surveys." As she talks, I walk to my usual seat, close to my little cousin- Summer and I open a mindlink between us. ¡®How much.¡¯ ¡®Ten dors.¡¯ I put my fingers into my boot and pull out a couple of dor notes, passing it under the table to her. ¡®Is that enough?¡¯ ¡®It''s twice as much as what I asked for.That¡¯s why I enjoy doing business with you and oh, I hid his scent on you before you stepped into this room.¡¯'' I pick up my fork and slice through the te of food before me. ''¡®Thank you, like always.''¡¯ She continues with her meal, acting like our conversation never urred. I feel another mindlink nudge into my head and I allow it. Ronald, my other cousin and the first child of my uncle and aunt speaks in my head. ¡®You''re doing your betting again or it''s something else.¡¯ ''¡®You know the answer to that, Ronald.¡¯ ¡®And I am not happy with the answer. My sister is not up to the age to know about what you''re doing...¡¯ I can almost imagine him ring at his food. ¡®''Your sister had her first experience of sightseeing with your parent Don¡¯t lecture me on that when it¡¯s not my fault.¡¯ ¡®TMI, Isabe. I think I¡¯m going to puke on this food.¡¯ ¡®Then your mother is going to be convinced that you don¡¯t like her cooking.You better swallow everything down that throat of yours.¡¯ "What are you two talking about? And why are you using mindlink? Is it about a girl?" Aunt Minerva¡¯s eyes turns skeptical on us and I continue to eat, let my cousin take the heat of things. "It''s not about a girl, it¡¯s partially about a guy..." I have the feeling to bang his head on this table immediately. "You''re into guys?" Aunt Minerva asks and I remain silent. She is talking to Ronald, not me. Not me! "No, I mean Isabe is into a guy.Like really into a guy." I catch the hidden idea in his words but it doesn¡¯t make stop eating. "How much are you into this guy, Isabe." Aunt Minerva turns to me and I don¡¯t n on answering the question.I choose not to answer it. "She''s not into guys, mom.She just likes a lot of them." I want to smirk when I hear my little cousin say that. She catches her mother¡¯s attention immediately, removing the heat of her eyes on me but my uncle...he stares at me intensely and I know that he is on to me. He is always on to me. The top dies down when my little cousin decided to open her cute little mouth, that¡¯s the whole point of things. Her parents would never talk about guys with their twelve years old daughter around. Little do they know that she knows more than she is giving off. "Did you enjoy your lesson today, summer?" As the cover up conversation starts, I zone out of everything. ¡®You''re so lucky that Summer is always ready to help, if not you''ll be canned food by now.¡¯ I never did close off Ronald¡¯s mindlink. ¡®She helps out because I pay her to do so.I''ll say that your sister will be a very rich woman when she grows up.¡¯ I close off the mindlink when I feel his confusion and shock threatening to slip in. Having other people¡¯s feelings in my mind isn¡¯t as refreshing as it sounds. My chair scraps the floor loudly as I stand up, exining myself before I get held in a query for it. "I''m going on a quest with Trixie." "You''ve been on these quests of yours for twice in this week now." Uncle Sebastian says. "I have nothing better to do." I shrug. "There is a pile paperwork waiting for me in the offi-" "I''ve done that, nothing more to do, and right now, I feel like I am wasting me time with paperwork.We have the second highest technology in all the realms and we waste our time with paperwork." The shimmering sound of a portal invades my hearing and when I catch sight of it, I say. "My ride is here.I will be back before midnight...hopefully." "Be back before-" I have already stepped into the portal and it closes behind me while I smirk at their faces.I turn to see Trixie with her face squeezed into an odd expression and her finger pointed at me. "Be back before lunch." I ignore her finger and her narrowed eyes. That was lunch. "What are we doing today?" She stops whatever she thinks she is doing and I decide to take a look around. The ce is filled with overgrown grasses but irrespective of that, it still looks as beautiful as the ce should... The moors is really beautiful and the creatures which inhabit it are the feys, fairies, dwarfs, pixes and many more. The feys and fairies have been united a long time ago. "Human terrorists.Since the supernatural world has decided to show themselves to the human and also open the borders for human tourists, we''ve had a supply of human terrorists instead." "I am not surprised.A human who is in need of our technology and funds came to me, only to ask if I will go on a date with him." I scoff. "I don¡¯t go on dates." She walks ahead of me, clearing the path as she walks . "He kinda lost you in that date part. How cute was he, ranging from a one to ten?" I shrug, making sure to not step on any insects I see. Trixie can be very protective of the insects in her realm, whether it¡¯s big or small...or just nasty. "I''ll say an eight." "Wow, that''s a big win for the guy, I guess.He¡¯s gonna have a lot of females rushing after him." "Good for him." I say and she stares at me skeptically. "You had your fun with someone today, one of the guards?" I narrow my eyes at her. "When you do that sometimes it''s scary. Please don''t tap into my head again, my wolf could get anxious." "Your wolf loves me, she said so herself." Trixie swats her hand in my direction. "Besides, this is my gift. I do whatever I want with my gift." When we stop at a wooden door with a house attached to it...a house that gives me an odd feeling as the scent of a human slips into my nose. "Why are we really here, Trixie?" My mood darkens as I watch her open the door. "You told me that we''re here because of human terrorists." "No, I only exined about them.That is our quest for another day.This is a human who can help with your situation." "l am handling the situation on my own, thanks." "By telling summer to block her out permanently.That¡¯s not going to work, and I still don¡¯t know why you won''t just ept it." She acts like it¡¯s a big deal under my scurry gaze.It is a big deal.I just don¡¯t want to ept it. When I first got my wolf, I heard a little voice whispering in my head. It grew louder everyday.It even had conversations with me and I got scared. Trixie helped me out at first but after some years, she told me to ept it and so I changed my source. When a source doesn¡¯t give you what you want, you change it to a very secure one which will never leave you disappointed.Uncle Sebastian taught me that. "How are you sure that he can help?"I have never told anyone about my situation.Only Trixie, Summer and Ronald knows about it. Wolves don¡¯t take likely to things they don¡¯t understand.Things that are new. "You''ll see, just trust me." She walks in and I am left staring at her back. "I do trust you but not your nature.You guys have a way of twisting your words." I follow after her, feeling obligated to close the door. Aunt Minerva used to threaten to drown me in a pool if I didn¡¯t close the door when I stepped inside the castle. I was little and the door was much more bigger than me. The human who lives here doesn¡¯t mind to check whoes in. He or she must be very confident of themself to leave their door unlocked. "Hello?" Trixie begins to call out after we have walked for a while. I stand with my hands crossed as I scan through the ce. The house doesn¡¯t look like someone lives in it. It looks partially empty, only with the necessary items a person needs, like a wardrobe, a bed, a nightstand and it is then I figure out that we are in a bedroom. "You came quickly." The deep voice makes me look back and when I see the human, I am surprised by what I face. I expected to see a slim male in front of me, not a heavily bulked and a ten out of ten male with a handsome face. "I came after two months.That not early." Trixie speaks but I am not focused on her. He caught my attention the moment he stepped into my view. "It''s a bit early for me.I was expecting you in maybe a year time." He throws his head back andughs at his awful attempt of a joke. I feel obligated to join him in hisughter but I don¡¯t, not even when Trixie nudges my arm very hardly. I barely groan, I can only keep my eyes on the human and he stops hisughter. His eyes flicks to us in an awkward manner and he coughs nervously. "What do you want me to do,dies." "What are you doing in this realm.You can be imprisoned for living here without the royal¡¯s family consent." That''s what I say instead of answering his question. He doesn¡¯t look affected.He just shrugs at me. "This is the feys and fairies¡¯nd.I got the consent of the royal princess.I believe that is enough." "You didn¡¯t answer my first question, human." "If you need my help with your situation then I don¡¯t answer that question." I narrow my eyes when he says this. "You do know that I can pop out your eyeballs in the next second." Chapter 3: Tell A Lie Chapter 3: Tell A Lie "I knew that he had nothing on him." I march out angrily, my hands almost breaking the door as I walk through. "His only help was to stare at me." "At least he didn''t ask you on a date." When she says this, I stop and turn to her. "I wanted him to ask me on a date.I would have epted so that I could stare at him with wide eyes and an open mouth all through." I begin to walk away after my remark, following the path that led us here. "Or you just wanted to have a brand new boy toy." "I don¡¯t have boy toys, Trixie." I breathe out and stop when I ept the fact that I can¡¯t go home easily without a portal. "Sure you don''t." Her sarcastic tonees to my hearing. "I think that it''s almost dinner." "And how does that rte to me?" She squints at me and ces her hands on her hips. "You said you would be back before midnight, not before dinner." "Can you just open a portal for me?" "Why would I do that?" "Please." My voice decreases. "Please can you send me back home." "Fine." She rolls her eyes and immediately a portal appears on where I stand. My eyes widen and I begin to fall inside till Ind on something bouncy...my bed. I look up, ring at the portal over my head.Trixie pokes her head out with a silly grin. "Have fun at home and don''t get any more boy toys." The door opens slowly, stopping me from responding to her though my ears picks up the sound of the portal closing. "Princess Isabe." A male guard hovers at the door of my room and I search his face, wondering if I have an appointment with him. He certainly doesn¡¯t look like any of the males I haveid with. His eyes moves away from me with anxiety and I jump out of my bed with zero effort. "Is there any problem?" "The King and Queen would like to see you in their office." He bows his head in my direction and turns on his feet to leave. I am not surprised that my aunt sensed when I came in. My next actions are to take a quick shower and put on some fresh clothes. When I am done, I walk to their office and as I open the door, I feel the heat of my uncle¡¯s re. Beside him is my aunt and two cousins. I have a hunch of what this is about but I keep silent. If I act out I will only be confirming it to them. "I thought I made the ¡®wait for your mate¡¯ rule very clear." "Yes, you did." I nod at my uncle''s words. "And I simply decided not to follow it." "You simply decided not to follow it." My uncle¡¯s voice fills with venom as his re bes more intense. I look away from his eyes immediately and I bow my head, exposing my neck to him but I don¡¯t stop my sharp tongue from allowing me to speak. "That¡¯s what I said and besides, you didn¡¯t wait for your mate, a whole lot of males don¡¯t do that.So why should I? I don¡¯t need a mate anyway." A thunderous growl vibrates in the room, if my wolf wasn''t blocked she would have ttened down her ears in submission but I am alone in my head. "Do not speak to me like that." I don¡¯t have to raise my head to know that my aunt is trying to help him control his wolf. He did sleep with other females before he met her, what''s the big deal of me sleeping around then. There is a high chance that my mate- if I have one- has been doing the same thing all his life. Werewolves have very high hormones and sometimes we need a way of blowing off steam. I turn to my cousins, my re focused on Ronald. "You sold me out." Summer nods, answering for him. "Yes, he did. He sold you out without even getting any benefits." "You should be ashamed of your brother, Summer." I shake my head at him as he keeps mute, not wanting to say anything that will get him into trouble. "l am ashamed of him, very very deeply." She also shakes her head at him and her long dark hair bounces around her shoulders. Aunt Minerva¡¯s eyes widen and she turns to little Summer while my head keeps giving me warning signs. "You knew about this. You are involved in this too?" "Yes, she did." The mute Ronald speaks with the clear aim of putting his sister into trouble. She turns to him and steps on his foot, very hardly with her pretty little face nk. "l am only twelve! I can¡¯t do that." She emphasize , her little voiceing out in a squeal.The little devil of my world...Her mother keeps her gaze on her and so does her father. "Summer, did you know what Isabe was doing is a bad thing to do in her case?" I ignore the re that my aunt throws at me for a second before she looks back at my little cousin. Summer shakes her heads and whispers out. "No, it¡¯s no bad.She told me that it¡¯s not bad." I look for a seat and when I am seated, I hide my smirk.Oh, she is good. "Because it isn¡¯t bad.I have no idea why you guys are worrying.It''s not like I am pregnant." I whisper out thest sentence but they are able to hear me and the next things I am looking at are wide eyes. "Are you pregnant?" My uncle asks. "Of course not. I''d be very stupid to let myself get pregnant." "I''m d you know that." Ronald whispers under his breath and my eyes snaps to him. "Say another word and I''ll cut you open and use your intestines as a skipping rope." "If only you knew how to skip." His eyes darkens when he say this, just like I expected. "You won''t be able to try that because I am going to use your eyes for a torchlight." "Ronald, Ronald." I tisked in mockery. "All talk but no bite. I''d like to see you touch my precious eyeballs." He opens his mouth, ready to say something as aeback but he ends up been stepped on by Summer again. "Shit!" I almostugh at his facial expression. "Mom wants to say something and you two keep talking." She states and Ronald winces in pain. "Then why didn¡¯t you step on Isabe, too?" "Because she is far away from me, you are much more closer." Her eyes turns to me as she stands on her feet. "I feel like I am the only adult here and I am positive when I say that this is meeting is adjourned." She is been slowly put back to her seat by her mother as the moment ends quickly. Uncle Sebastian hasn''t said a word for a while and it keeps me on my toes. His eyes watches me like a hawk, almost like he can see through everything but I know that he really can¡¯t. Summer is very likely to have hidden everything that points fingers to me or her and here is the catch, she hides things so well that even I am not able to find it.And I should be able to find them... "You will be in charge of the new team¡¯s training from now on." He speaks, knocking me out of my mild reverie. "You are referring to the wolves that recently got their abilities.The wolves that have no control over their emotions.The newly turned." I shake my head with augh after my emphasis. "No, I will not be a babysitter for pups." "Yes, you will be their babysitter,¡¯ He leans forward in his chair. "You know why, because I say so." I watch them stand to their feet and my eyes doesn¡¯t leave my uncle. He stares at me too. "Training starts tomorrow." They walk out of the room, leaving me staring at the wall and immediately the door closes, I stomp my foot on the ground with force. The ground doesn¡¯t take the force I use, it breaks and my foot passes through. I roll my eyes at its weakness. "For a werewolf you can¡¯t keep your mouth shut." I smirk at my own words as I pull my foot out of the hole carefully and I stand on my feet. Ronald and Summer are still seated in front of me and their eyes never leaves my face. "I agree with my cousin, brother.You bber too much." Summer turns to her brother who lets out a scoff. "Mom was already on to it and she thought that I was involved." "Have you ever heard of a lie before?" Summer raises an eyebrow. "You''re a full werewolf and I am a full fey.I can¡¯t lie, I can only twist my words but you can lie.You have the freedom of speech." "Mom knows when I tell a lie." It¡¯s my turn to scoff at his useless attempt of an excuse . "That''s because you don¡¯t know how to lie, Ronald.Perhaps you need me to teach you that too." "I don''t need you to teach me anything."His eyes narrows. "You''re going to be the king, Ronald, and you don¡¯t know how to lie or manipte people.I''m disappointed." I turn to his sister who says nothing. "Come on, Summer.We have things to discuss." She obeys and stands on her feet, leaving her brother behind. We walk out of the room and when we have gotten to a far distance, clear from anyone¡¯s hearing and view, she speaks. "I cleaned up everything like you nned." "What about Romeo?" I ask as we keep walking. "Just as the other Romeos before him, he won''t remember a thing.To them, you are just the wolf princess that they are guarding." I nod in satisfaction. "Good, like always." Then I turn to her as I stop, she stops with me too. She is barely up to my chest so I have to squat down to her height. "Now, the cats out of the bag." Her blue eyes narrows. She inherited them from her father. "It''s all because of my doofus brother.Maybe, I could use this to my advance to get back at him." "Perhaps, or maybe, he is already expecting it but that¡¯s not what I want to talk about." Her eyes turns curious when I say this. "What''s that? Did you buy a gun for me?" "No." I frown and the curiosity in her eyes disappears. "Why would you want to own a gun." "Never mind that." She waves it off. "What do you want to tell me." Her eyes holds a new form of curiosity. "I want you to promise me that you won''t follow what I am doing." I say. "But you aren''t doing anything bad." I sigh out when she says this. "I tell myself that it isn¡¯t bad but I know that it is and you know that too." I intertwine our pinky fingers together. "Just promise me that you won''t follow my footsteps, you will be better than me and you won''t hold a gun unless it¡¯s necessary.Probably when you''re eighteen, give or take, or when you get into trouble." N?velDrama.Org ? content. Her face breaks up into a grin and sheughs out, pressing her pinky hardly on mine. "I promise that I won''t sleep around and that I will only use a gun when it is needed." I ruffle her hair and stand to my feet. "I almost thought that you would twist your words." "Expect the unexpected.That''s my motto for today." "You change your motto everyday, Summer.I don¡¯t bother to keep track of them anymore." I smile. "My mother calls herself crazy but I call myself weird. Maybe I should be called ¡®Summer the weird mate¡¯ or ¡®The Weird Summer Of A Mate¡¯." I nod, thinking about it as we continue to walk. "Or you won''t get your own book." "Don¡¯t jinx this for me, Be. This could be my book right now, this moment could be one of the chapters.I just feel it." She exins with happiness written on her face. "I can¡¯t wait for who I will be mated to." I find myself nodding again. "When your mom gets invited to the writer¡¯s tea party again, you can go with your mom and ask her yourself." "If only mother would let me go with her.I have a lot of things to ask the writer." Iugh at her tone, but I also reply slowly, my mind thinking over it. "I have a lot of things to ask her too." "You''re going to bete for their first day of training." Uncle Sebastian narrows his eyes at me. "You make it sound like it''s her first day of training." Beta Paul says, his eyes growing in mischief when he sees me walking towards the training grounds. I smile in his direction. "Thank you for having my back, unlike some other wolves." I draw thest two words and this catches my uncle''s attention immediately. "Which other wolves?" He asks. "You, you and you." I peck his cheek and the hair on his stubble pokes me in that few seconds. "Good morning, my torturer." "You knew what you would get when you first started it." "I didn¡¯t start it. I continued it." When I begin to walk away, not waiting for his answer, Beta Paul''s voice rings in the air, making me turn. "What about my own kiss.Won''t I get one too?" I roll my eyes and I say. "No, you weren''t there to help mest night." He pouts as I start walking backwards. "But I am here now." "That doesn¡¯t count." I end up shouting back at him because of how far I have gone. I turn forward and begin to jog to the training grounds and then I hear his loud yell. "Why?" "Because I say so." I yell back, not bothering to turn back to stare at him. The sound of grunts and groanses to my hearing first before the sight of wolves actually sparing comes to my view, females and males alike. When I step into the training grounds, they stop, immediately noticing my presence. My eyes scan everyone until itnds on someone, a human. A growl leaves my chest and immediately, I am in front of him, making him stagger back in fear with wide eyes but that is only for a second. He gets himself back together so quickly that it¡¯s unexpected and I blink at him. My eyes trails down his bulky arms. He has more muscles than most of the male wolves standing in this training ground now and he also have a fit air attached to himself. He is taller than me and shirtless, I can see his abs clearly and his toned body. "Like what you see, then maybe you won''t be so unhappy to feel it." I don¡¯t bother to take in what he says because I might kill him right now. My eyes narrows at him. "Why are you here, in the training yard for wolves." "It''s a honour to meet you too." He stretches out his hand for a handshake but I don¡¯t take it. "You didn¡¯t answer my question." "It''s not bad to be here, princess." "That''s not what I asked, human." If my eyes could narrow anymore, then it does. "It''s not bad to be a human too." Ie to the conclusion that he is not worth my time. "Follow my orders and keep a safe distance from the wolves.You do not want to get on their bad side." I warn and he nods, acting like he understands but he ends up saying something stupid. "Yes, and if I do get into this bad side of theirs, I am going to break their bones."A chores of growls follow after his remark but he doesn¡¯t appear scared by them, if anything, he faces the growls that came from the wolves with boldness. I don¡¯t answer his statement, my attention is caught by something else. A few meters away from the training ground is Summer. She spreads a pic mat on the ground and drops a basket beside it on the ground, before she sits on the mat. She notices my eyes on her quickly but she makes no move to go away. I walk to her with quick strides and her eyes follows me through out. "What are you doing here, Summer." Her eyes lingers on the training grounds and with the way they glimmer, I have a feeling that she just blocked the wolves and human from listening in on our conversation.Her eyes are back on me in a second. "I need to train." "But you do train, with your mother." I say, clearly confused. "Yes, but that only involves magic.I need physical training." She exins. "I am not going to hold a gun very soon so I have to learn this." "And what is this exactly?" I ask when she gestures to where the wolves stands, waiting on me. "Physical training as I call it." "These wolves have not learnt control.They could kill you with a snap of their jaws." I state and she shrugs in little amusement. "I could kill them with a snap of my fingers." She smiles . "And besides, my cousin is here, you won''t let anything happen to me. Also, I intend to only sit, eat and watch." "That''s better.Sit here and don¡¯t you dare to step foot into that ce.If not, you¡¯re going to get your legs chopped off by me, before my head is cut off by your dad." When I am done saying this, I walk back to the training ground and immediately hear her munching on something, probably from the basket beside her. "Let''s get into a little exercise before we spar." My voice rings in the air, catching everyone''s attention. "As you all know, I am your leader from today-" and probably forever- "and I would like you to follow my commands and also-" "No, can¡¯t do, princess." The whisperes from the person I choose to ignore and I will ignore. "follow my actions.Do I make myself clear?" The voicees again, this time it is not as a silent whisper. It makes the whole ce quiet and my wolf stir over the borders of my mind. "Aren''t you supposed to be in the castle with a pretty little tiara on your head and probably following your mates orders." This makes me narrow my eyes at the smug looking human. "Aren¡¯t you supposed to be scared that I can cut your body in half in just a single second." He doesn''t appear shocked by my revtion or threat. "Come on.Just in a few days of staying here, I have known that no one has ever seen your wolf.I don¡¯t even know if you have on" Before he can say another word, I am in front, holding his neck in my hand and his eyes widens. He tries to pry off my hand as I squeeze tightly but he can''t. He can only make silly attempts to breathe and I watch him curiously, anxious for his blood to spill. "With all the muscles and talks, you can¡¯t stop this female from killing you." "Isabe." I feel a light touch on my arm and turn to see Summer with her blue eyes staring right at me. "He¡¯s not worth it." Immediately, the rage I feel disappears like smoke and I squeeze tightly on his neck once more before I release him and he ends up falling to the ground, wheezing like his life depends on it. Summer looms over his figure on the ground and though I don''t see her eyes, I know that it¡¯s attached with a re right now. "You should be lucky that I wasn¡¯t the one trying to kill you.I wouldn''t fail." I am sure that shivers are rolling down his spine. "Isabe!" The growl makes me look up and I see my uncle with his eyes ring daggers at me. Shit! Chapter 4: Mate Chapter 4: Mate "You allowed Summer into the training grounds when she shouldn''t even be close to that ce and you tried to murder a human." I shake my head at these usations. "No, I suffocated him.There¡¯s a difference."I consciously avoid Summer¡¯s part in this and I am sure that she is silently thanking me. I can almost feel it.Uncle Sebastian¡¯s eyes doesn''t leave me.He continues to keep his re and I continue to look everywhere but him.The chances of me getting my head cut off are bigger now. "Yes, apparently, to you, there¡¯s a difference."He nods with sarcasm all over his words. "Don''t I just remind you of my mother, your sister?"His mood takes a sudden change when I say this and I take a step back, nning my escape. Bringing out this topic hurts him badly but I don¡¯t mind...of course I do mind. I just tell myself that I don¡¯t mind everyday. "Your tricks aren''t going to work on me that easily, Isabe." His expression changes to something much more darker and the room slowly turns cold. Even with all these happening, I Know that he won''t hurt me.I know that deep down. He takes me as a daughter and when I was little he never wanted me to step into the sight of males but then I got older, he knew that I was bound to find my mate. "I can assure you that Summer wasn¡¯t in da-" His growl cuts me off immediately and I keep my mouth shut as he rambles. "Summer wasn''t in any harm, in danger?" His voice is filled with rage. "She was in the middle of extra hormonal males who can''t keep their emotions in check." "Females were also there, and why would you send me there if you knew that they are hormonal males.Am I not also important to you?" "Do not change the subject."He warns. "You are very much important.I trained you myself and I trust that you can take care of yourself." "But what you don¡¯t trust is that I can take care of Summer." "She is my daughter!" His enraged voice fills the air and I stand there calmly. "And she is my cousin."I say. Summer has been quiet since we came here, her hair tucked behind her pointed ears and her blue eyes watching every single thing in the room.She probably decides that it¡¯s time to stop ying with her leg and she speaks out. "It was my fault." Her father hears her timid whisper in the midst of his rage and I notice how his once darken eyes are gone.Summer has so much effect on him.She is his daughter after all. I just wish I had that kind of effect on him too. The kind that will make him start a war for me. The kind that a father would have for his daughter and I guess that I am going over the top.He is not my father, he is hers. "I should be med for this and not my cousin.It was me who went to the training grounds." She begins to y with her fingers, her face downwards and her father¡¯s eyes watches her all through. "You know that you aren''t allowed to step into where the wolves are training.Why did you even go there." "Because...I need to learn how to fight." Her blue eyes stares up at him and I watch his eyes soften in return. He walks over to his daughter and squats before her, holding her arms as he goes down. Both Summer¡¯s and my eyes follow him all the way. "But you already know how to fight.You''ve had training everyday since you turned ten." Just like her father, her eyes narrows pensively. "That''s for magic, dad.I need to learn how to defend myself without magic.What if I get stuck in a situation that I can''t use my powers." N?velDrama.Org ? content. "You won''t get to see that because you will never see a battle." With the way her little hands tightens I know that she feels the same way I feel sometimes, like to punch her father. Like to punch the king of all wolves. "What if I do, daddy and no one is there to protect me, no one is there to help me.Not even you or my magic." She stomps on her feet angrily. "The world has an infinite line of possibilities.That¡¯s why I asked for a gun." She whispers thest statement under her breath but the both of us hear it loud and clear. The next thing she does is to stand on her feet and she walks out of the room with Zero want of turning back, not even to stare at me. "You have to ept that your daughter needs proper training." He slowly stands on his feet and faces me. "She does need physicalbat training, I ept that but she won''t be seen in the eyes of newly turned males." His words are beginning to annoy me. "I still repeat myself that they were also females there." "I will train her myself." He says, ignoring myst statement. "It¡¯s better than no training at all." I nod at my own words and when he doesn¡¯t say a word, I begin to walk to the door.My hand pauses on the door knob when he speaks. "Where are you going, Isabe.We are not done talking." "Yes we are, uncle." I roll my eyes and he continues to speak. I wonder why I still stand there listening to his words. Oh, because he is the king and he can kill me in less that a second but he is also my uncle. "No, you will continue your training with the newly turned for a month as punishment and you are not allowed to leave the castle without my permission." His words fuels the anger in me and the only way it can go out is for me to re at the door in front of me, my fingers squeezing tightly on the knob that it threatens to break. "Watch me, dear uncle." I yank the door open and I step out immediately, ignoring him, ignoring his growls at my disrespect and also ignoring the chills that I feel when I go against the orders of my king. I don¡¯t wait for his wolf to take over and punish me for my disrespect. I always do this, I always put myself into trouble and try to run away from it, I mostly get into trouble with my aunt but it feels like it is now my uncle¡¯s turn. Not waiting to see what''s going to happen, I bolt away, calling out to my werewolf speed as I run. I blocked my wolf out but that doesn¡¯t mean that her abilities are blocked with her. I have everything thates with having a wolf, except for her presence. My feet moves automatically, maneuvering a way out of the castle and into the forest, to the west of the castle. The thorns of the forest leaves pierces me as I step in butI ignore them, my movements never stopping till I arrive at the spot... My safe spot. The ce I let go of every burden that the day brings and like always, the sight amazes me no matter how many times I see it. In front of me is a clearing and after that clearing is a glorious waterfall, the way the water shines and falls is more magical than anything I have ever seen. I spend most of my time here and every single time Ie, I can¡¯t keep my eyes off the way the water flows into a clearke beneath the waterfall. Walking towards it, I Kneel down as take a sip out of the clean, fresh water. Bliss fills me immediately and I find my way to my usual sitting ce, beside a tree. From here I can see everything the waterfall has to offer. The butterflies hovering around it, the sunlight reflecting on it. Call me sappy but I am simply at peace here. I don¡¯t know how much time I sit there, time flies when your mind is not on it. Before I know it, the sun ising down and the moon takes its ce, also reflecting on the water. The butterflies are reced by the fireflies and they ignite the forest with their lights and hums. I watch pensively as one wanders far off from the others, heading in my direction and I don¡¯t know how but it finds a way to wrap itself around my hair and tugs it into another direction. Iugh, not feeling the tug and wondering how it can be doing this, then my eyes wanders to the direction it tugs me to. I watch the spot pensively, my instincts on high alert all of a sudden. A shadow looms at a distance in a clear corner of the waterfall. I didn¡¯t notice it before but now I do and as I watch closely, it moves. I can barely hold my gasp in when I see this and I begin to look for a weapon a thankfully, my hand feels a branch and I end up pushing it in front of my face as a defense. "Show yourself.Who are you?" My voice echoes in the night and the shadow stills, before it begins to move again, getting smaller and smaller by the second and then amanes out.A man with dark and pensive eyes.They glimmer in the dark, blinking at me and I hold on to my branch firmly. "Step out of the shadows." Though I don''t see him clearly, his structure is enough to tell me that he is a male. "Do it slowly." I stare at his dark eyes, unblinkingly and somehow I feel like there¡¯s something hidden under them, like they aren''t the real thing. I am shocked when he obeys mymands and steps out at the same time I stand up, still holding the branch before me and I nk when I finally get a clear glimpse of his features. I feel something in my mind twitch as I scan through his odd attire, both top and bottom holding his firm structure. He is not all muscles but he can be categorized as a strong male, not bulky but just alright. I believe fit is the right word. His face holds a structured jaw line and is covered by a skin so smooth that I feel like rubbing my face on it- wait, what. I am shocked by my feelings but it doesn¡¯t stop me from essing him. He has two thin bow-like pink lips and a pointed nose leading up to his eyes. His eyes that remains dark, watching me. The twitch in my mind grows stronger and my eyes widen as I gasp, finally knowing what it means. For once in a very long time, my wolf is present in my head as she breaks the barrier blocking her out and the words she forces out of my lips shocks me into a rush of panic. "Mate." My wolf...she is back in my head. That''s impossible. She is not supposed to break through the barrier. Immediately the wordses out of my mouth, he moves back a bit as if he has been shocked. The movement is so quick and tiny that if I wasn''t watching carefully I wouldn''t have seen it. He collects himself together so fast that I begin to doubt what I saw. A small smile pulls on his lips as he fully steps out of the rays of the darkness. "Yes, I am your mate, Isabe." I am not going to let my guard down because of his clean British ent, alluring scent or handsome face. " I am so d that you agreed that he is handsome.I can''t believe we found our mate after centuries of waiting.This is a dreame through, it wants to make me forgive you for blocking me out all these years, Izzy.''¡¯ I ignore my wolf''s loud voice in my head, not bothering to correct her that we have only been alive for twenty years. ¡®Yes, but it seems like more than that to me and who are you talking to.¡¯ I take a deep breath trying not to move my eyes from the stranger in front of me who happens to be my mate. "You were watching me this whole time, weren''t you." "Please don¡¯t make it sound like it¡¯s a bad thing.I wanted to see how long it would take you to figure out that I was here and it took a pretty long while." Amusement cloaks his words as he tsks. ¡®You are pretty.¡¯ I shake my head, trying to block out my wolf in the process but what I get back in return is her anger and a sharp pain at the side of my head. I ignore it, my eyes still focused on the male in front of me who is suddenly staring at me with concern. He takes a step forward and I take several back, till my back is on the tree behind me and my hands still outstretched. "Who are you?" "Your mate." His cryptic responds slightly annoys me and I ask. "What''s your name?" "Anything you would like to call me would be alright, darling. "He walks closer and my grip on the branch tightens." "Do not call me that and how did you know my name." I say, remembering when he called me Isabe. I observe his smell, by passing the scent of fresh lilies and wooding from him. "You are definitely not a wolf, neither are you a human, so what are you?" He casually pushes his hands into the pocket of his trousers. "First, you asked who I am and now, you''re asking what I am." He cocks his head to the side, making his hair fall over his eyes. "Make a decision on what you want me to answer." ¡®Gosh, that was so hot.¡¯ I shake my head, pushing my wolf back into the barrier once more. "Shut up." "So I shouldn''t answer anything at all, then?" I look up at him in confusion before I realize that I said that out loud. "No, that¡¯s not what I meant." My arms bes tired and so I decide to drop down the branch. "What''s your name?" "You can call me... Nathan." He says ¡®Nathan, that¡¯s a fine ass name.¡¯ I push my wolf back again and the sharp pain I feel at the side of my head increases, making me wince. I feel like my head is been struck by lightening. I don¡¯t know if this is how it feels or it might be worst. My head vibrates as I fall to the ground, feeling much more pain as she talks. ¡®''It''s your fault for locking me out.¡¯'' My small groan turns into a scream as I hold my head in ce. I feel like it''s pulling apart, like I can¡¯t hold it together no matter how hard I try. "Hey, hey.Calm down, let me help you." I don''t realize that he is by my side until I hear his voice closer to me, and a numb touch on my head. It stops, the pulling apart, the slight hum of my wolf and the pain, they all stop and when I look up, I see those dark eyes peering at me as close as they can get. "Are you alright?" His voice isced with concern and I jump to my feet as quickly as I can, getting as far away from him with limited time. My breathes out in pants as I bolt, continuing to run from the stranger who doesn¡¯t seem to be chasing me back. I don¡¯t use my time to reason why he isn¡¯t behind me.I use my time to run. My wolf forces my body back, making me stumble a few times but that doesn¡¯t stop me from arriving at the pce gates. I look back at the woods, not seeing any chance for him to follow me and with a deep breath I collect myself back together and walk into the castle. Immediately I walk past the main gate, I sight him, standing in front of the big doors of the castle with his arms crossed on his chest and his blue eyes trained on me. It is not the stranger, Nathan.No, he is my uncle and the all powerful wolf king, Sebastian. I continue walking, ignoring the tugging in my head to the opposite direction, the direction that I came out from, where my mate is. For once in my life, I rather face my enraged uncle than run back to the stranger in the woods. The thought urs to me that he can get hurt there, lost even, but I shake it off. My wolf is trying to influence me in going back and I know very clearly that he went there on his own, he can go back safely too, right? ¡®You''re not sure.¡¯ A vivid image of my wolf narrowing her big eyes pops into my head and I shake my head again, tucking the long sleeves of my shirt. "Shut up." ¡®Shut up, shut up, shut up.That¡¯s the only sentence you know how to say to me, you haven''t changed one bit.¡¯ I grit my teeth at her statement. "That¡¯s because they are the only words you can understand.I don¡¯t want to confuse you and let your head explode out ofck of knowledge." I smile to myself. "Or would you rather that I kill you with my words?" "What are you talking about, Isabe?" Again, I don¡¯t Know why I keep talking to my wolf aloud. She snickers at me when I hear his voice. ¡®I hope that he chews you up and spits you out, Izzy.''¡¯ I ignore her and the images of my funeral is been yed in my head by her. I look down at my feet. "You''re going to die with me, you-" "What''s that?" My eyes widen when I hear my uncle¡¯s growl, I stepped in front of him when I was talking with my wolf. There is no doubt that he heard what I have been saying. ¡®No doubt at all." My wolf snickers. ¡®Now kill her!" I want to roll my eyes at her but they are on my uncle and with the much disrespect I have caused I wouldn''t be able to go free if I make another one. "H-Hey, Uncle.What are you doing?" I ster a smile on my face, not understanding why my voice cracks at the beginning of the statement. "Where are youing from? You didn¡¯t inform me before you left." My uncle¡¯s eyes remains on me. "So tell me, where did you go, Isabe." "Not to where you are thinking of, uncle." I find myself unable to tell him that I have found my mate. "I went for a run.My wolf needed the feeling of fresh air on her fur." ¡®Liar.¡¯ I remain still, hoping for no disagreement on his side and unluckiness just keeps biting on my butt. "You''re lying. If you don¡¯t tell me the truth I''ll let Minerva feed you more butterflies than you had when you were a child." My aunt had this weird obsession with butterflies when she was pregnant with Ronald, and I paid the cost for it.It was her that made me have a great love for those winged insects but no one knows about this except Summer. "She will do no such thing." "Oh yes, she will or I will find something much more-" He stops talking and his eyes moves to my side, at the same time, the alluring scent of the woods and fresh lilies goes into my nostrils. A heavy arm damps over my shoulder and the fresh scent intensifies. My mind nks when I hear the stranger¡¯s voice "You don¡¯t have to worry about Izzy, she was only paying a visit to her mate...to me." My wolf doesn¡¯t stop her snide remarks. ''¡®I believe the saying goes like this...¡¯'' Shit! ''¡®Oh yeah, I am always right." Chapter 5: Buttons Chapter 5: Buttons "You know when the world is against you and you don-¡¯ The voice of my wolf is cut off immediately and I look down at Summer''s inquisitive eyes as she does her thing. "Is it gone now?" I nod slowly with a little expectation of my wolf saying something odd but I am faced with silence. "I believe so. I have a feeling that she will be back soon though." "Yes, I have also have that feeling too." She says and her eyes moves to the door beside us. "What do you think they are talking about in there?" I turn back to stare at the door restricting me from seeing the stranger or the royals which are my uncle and aunt. "Probably my wedding.I don¡¯t want to think about that and you shouldn¡¯t too.You should be in bed right now, you have training tomorrow." Her eyes immediately sparks up at my statement.She lightens up in excitement as her mouth forms out words. "Really? I am going to train with you?" "No, your dad is going to train you." He face falls in an instant, her lower lip pulled into a pout. "But he is going to go easy on me.I won''t even learn a thing." "Then cast a spell on him to go harder on you, Summer.You know that you can do that." I cast my eyes on the door, trying to listen in but all I hear are hushed whispers. "Mother put a spell in there.You can¡¯t hear a word they say." Summer points out and I scoff. "That was expected." I turn back to her. "Now, go to bed, kiddo. I''ll see you tomorrow." "How sure are you that you will be here tomorrow." When I look down at her zed eyes, I also think it through.Tonight might be myst night here.Myst night staring down at my little cousin. ¡®''Do not draft a n on how you will run away from this because I will drag you down and take control over your body.¡¯'' I ignore the annoying voice in my head, she didn¡¯t waste a lot of time to break through the barrier. ''¡®Why would I? since we found our mate I have been set free and that nitwit isn¡¯t allowed to put spells on me again.She is wasting her energy because it won''t work.¡¯'' I don¡¯t know whatpels me to respond and when I do, my eyes narrows in the next second. ¡®That nitwit is my cousin.¡¯ ¡®Oh really. I don¡¯t know her that much because I have been stuck at the back of your mind for the past two years!¡¯ I wince, holding my head as I hear her yells. I hurry to my room, ignoring Summer''s eyes. "I gotta go.I''ll see you tomorrow, Summer." I say before I leave. When I get into my room, I close the door behind me and fall on my bed, the need to sleep carrying me to wondernd immediately. It is crazy how a little small world can be turned upside down when a mate is found.I do not expect him in my room.I don¡¯t even know how he found out this is my room but when I wake up, I see him beside my bed, seated and watching me with his dark eyes.I can¡¯t find it in myself to stand up from the bed and for once in my life, I am anxious of how I look. "What are you doing in here?" I ask, my voice sounding hoarse from sleep. The way he seems rxed annoys me. He is in my room, in another realm and he is rxed? I doubt that he even knows where he is...okay, I don¡¯t doubt that. But a human wouldn''t be sofortable here.I am not fully sure that he is human, the way he carries himself in confidence is almost blinding. No human would be so confident in a ce full of wild werewolves but then again, the king of those wild werewolves knows him now and has wee him into his home. He has protection. "What are you?" I ask. "How did you get in here and how the hell did you find out that this was my room?" "So many questions to answer." A smile appears on his face, ying on his soft lips. ¡®I bet they are softer than you can tell.I can¡¯t wait to taste them.Yummy!¡¯'' Again, I me myself for my wolf''s thoughts. "You request so much for me that I don¡¯t know where to start." His charming smile or handsomeness is not enough to convince me. It does convince my wolf though. "You don''t have to answer. I can just rip out your voice box to make it official." A wounded look appears on his face and he ces his hand on his chest, with a gasp in mockery to my words . "No, you can¡¯t do that. How am I supposed to shout out your name when we are doing the deed?" I am on my feet, searching for my toothbrush when he says this. I pause and turn to him in mild astonishment. "I knew that you aren¡¯t as innocent as you look." "Oh, so I do look innocent. Is this a joke I hear or it¡¯s the real deal." He is just teasing. He is just teasing. Don¡¯t punch his face. I repeat to myself a few times before I breathe out in a scoff. "What are you doing here, Nathan?" "You finally decided that it is time to call my name. Is it Wednesday alright?" His eyes glimmer as he looks at me. "What do you want?" "Again with the multiple questions." He groans out. "I will only endure it because I love the sound of your voice. So talk all you want, Isabe." "Are you a human?" I throw another question at him, with zero hope of him answering it but I am surprised when he does. "Yes, in a way. I am." His cryptic and confusing answer reminds me of Summer and Trixie but it doesn¡¯t stop me from being pissed off. "What game are you ying, Nathan?" I drop my toothbrush and turn to him quickly enough to watch him shrug. "This is not a game, at least that''s what I hope for." His eyes scans my face, before he continues. "Putting it in simple terms, I just want to know you better enough that we could be taken as best friends." I get the hidden message in his words. Best friends, more than friends...lovers. Mates. I have a habit of narrowing my eyes a lot. Probably due to the fact that many people say stupid things in front of me. "That¡¯s not going to happen.You don''t want to tell me anything about you, so why should I tell you anything about me?" He pushes his lower lip into his mouth and bites on it while thinking about what I said. It¡¯s obvious that my eyes follow the movement without shame. ¡®That''s really hot.Why won''t you just jump his bones already, it¡¯s not like you will regret it.¡¯ My wolf speaks. "I have been asking you questions since we met, Nathan, and frankly, I am not happy with what I have discovered...which is nothing." I say, holding my toothbrush back in my hands. "If you want to discuss about this, I can rethink strangling you but for now, I would like you to leave my room." I say this but my wolf have a different mission as she screams out to him in my head. There is no way he can hear her though, only I can. ''¡®No, no! Tell him to stay, tell him to pull off his clothes.Tell him, Isabe!¡¯'' I find a way to mute her than blocking her out. She can only shout out words but I don¡¯t hear a thing she says. She is probably throwing insults at me. "Strangle me?" He stands to his feet and his face shows how amused he is. "Why am I looking forward to that." I walk him to the door and I am surprised that he lets me. When he is outside, I say. "So many questions to answer that I don''t know where to start from." Then I close the door in his face. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. ¡®That was rude.¡¯ My wolf speaks. "Why am I not surprised that you found a way to release yourself." ¡®Oh, Isabe.Youck a brain that¡¯s why.¡¯ I roll my eyes at her insult and she keeps on talking. ¡®Lam feeling sleepy.¡¯ She yawns. ¡®How about you let me take over your body and I sleep with our mate.It''s a win, win.¡¯ "Not going to happen, wolf." My tone makes her quiet down a bit. ¡®You''re so indecisive sometimes. I can help you make decisions that you will never regret.That is if you let me...¡¯'' "Oh," I walk into the bathroom with my toothbrush firmly in my hand. "I am sure that I will likely regret that but it¡¯s not going to happen because I am not letting you take over my body." I stare at the mirror in front of me, watching my reflection till I am done brushing.I feel her slip back into my mind but not without leaving a remark. ¡®We''ll see about that!¡¯'' Most of the time, my days go fine without the presence of wolf in my head but now that she¡¯s back I won''t be able to concentrate with her snide remarks. I am surprised when it continues to be quiet in my head, nevertheless, I use my time wisely and I am able to meet up with training. What I don''t imagine is to see him standing in ce of where I am supposed to be, his face empty of any emotions and the wolves... Well, they are looking scared. They have their faces down with a weird air attached to them. It makes me go back to the definition of scared in my head. They are wolves, they can cut Nathan in half without stress but here they are looking scared over a harmless human. A harmless human who happens to be my mate. Don''t get me wrong, I don¡¯t degrade him for his nature, I just never expected to have a mate and to be fair, I am a bit anxious about how he is going to feel when I tell him that I slept around with a few males. I want him to hear it from me, not anyone else...not like anyone aside from my family knows and besides, he looks like the kind of male that would sleep around too, right? My wolf growls at the thought of someone touching him, touching what''s mine. I am shocked at myst thought and my eyes widen. I spend so much time in my head that I don''t notice when I walk to him. He looks down at me when I am before him and then I realize that he is a bit taller than me, more than a bit. "What are you doing here?" "Helping you with your training, what else do you think I''d be here for?" His eyes crinkles as he smiles at me and my wolf growls again.¡®I don''t know, how about trying to woo some females! Trying to get into their pants!¡¯ I mute my wolf again, wondering why his smile knocks me off my feet...not literally. "You don''t need to help.I got this covered and besides, you''re not supposed to be here." My voicees out breathless and I find myself crossing my fingers with hope that he doesn¡¯t notice it. "The king insisted that I help you out and that¡¯s what I intend to you." "So you''re following his orders?" I don¡¯t know why the question flows out of my lips. "Yeah." His brow furrows in confusion. "He is a king after all and I am in his territory. I have to obey every order he gives with the exception of the bad ones, of course." ¡®Is it me or does our mate just get a mood change, or is it personality change? Wasn''t he suggest''¡¯ A spark of pride erupts from my chest at his words and I unconsciously block out my wolf. The pridees because of what he said. ¡®Of course it''s because of that.You actually didn¡¯t notice his change of character, mood, everything but you are right about him obeyingmands, it¡¯s sexy.Makes me wonder how he will obey us in be''¡¯ I understand what she wants to say before she is done. "That''s not what I said.Can you just zip your snot for a couple of minutes.¡¯'' I say to her, not really surprised that she found a way to slip out in a few seconds. "Unlike you, I don¡¯t follow orders." I say to Nathan. ¡®Yeah, she¡¯s a bad girl. Ask him if he likes bad girls, Izzy." My body moves closer to him immediately. It''s either that I am been influenced by my wolf or that it''s just me who suddenly wants him up close. His eyes flicks behind me for a second before they are back on me. "I think we are keeping your trainees waiting longer than they expected." I feel like my mind snaps into ce and I blink. "Oh yeah, training, erm, yeah, yeah." I can''t find the right words to say as I look away from his eyes. "I''ll be on the sidelines watching you then.Good luck." Watching me? He will be watching me! My brain goes into a mild panic and he walks away from me. I don¡¯t show it though, not in front of the wolves, not in front of him. When I face the wolves, my eyes scan the crowd, looking for a certain human and I am satisfied when I don''t see him. The human decides to skip training today, how quaint. I begin to do some push ups and stretching exercises with the wolves. I keep half of my senses on my human mate whose eyes never leave me. Sometimes my steps threatens to falter as I instruct the wolves, even when we begin sparring but I gather myself back. Neither my wolf or I want to make a mistake in front of our mate. We continue to spar with a female, we push harder with the sole aim of impressing our mate. In the midst of our training, the human that disrespected me yesterday finally appears and my wolf already expresses her dislike towards the male. He follows after everyone without any remarks and it does surprise me but as Summer always says. Expect the unexpected.Alright it was a one time motto.When we are done with training, the wolves are tired and so am I. I dismiss them and they seem overjoyed as they all walk away. "I have never seen a woman fight as you have." Nathan is by my side with a small towel in his hand and I take it from him and wipe my face. "You''re more skilled than I imagined." "How did you imagine me to be then?" I am eager to know what he thinks about me.I barely had the time to think about having a mate or how he would be like and now, I don''t want to venture into the part that will be hard, leaving home and packing into his... That will wait, I am still skeptical of this mate thing.Unlike my wolf, I haven¡¯t actually been waiting for this day toe. "I actually...well, I don''t know."He answers. ¡®Or you don¡¯t want to tell us.¡¯ My wolfments and I agree with her. The way his eyes doesn¡¯t face me proves me right... I think. "The castle has various chambers, you can choose a room for yourself." The change of topic clears out the awkward air and he appreciates it.His body response tell me that. "I prefer staying in your room.It''s much better with you in it." I shake my head at this and I begin to walk away, knowing that he will follow after me and he does. His footsteps echoes behind me. "You''re not staying with me and if you dare enter my room with my consent, I will make sure you get nightmares by just looking about me next time." I warn, throwing the towel in his direction, not minding if he catches it or not. He walks ahead of me and I turn to him in a brief nce.He furrows his brows like he is confused or thinking.I don¡¯t know which one. "Are you hiding something in your bedroom? Something...kinky?" ¡®Oh my!¡¯ My wolf giggles.The sound is new in my head.I don¡¯t think I have ever heard her giggle, not in a long time.If she hears me, she doesn''t respond to that, she continues saying what she wants to." "Maybe he wants to practice with you.I hope that I get my turn.¡¯ I don¡¯t focus much on her words, my eyes are trained on Nathan¡¯s mischievous smile. It¡¯s weird how his character takes a U turn in a matter of minutes and my wolf concurs to this. ¡®That''s what I was telling you and it¡¯s not weird.It''s hot, sexy and all the words rted to those two.¡¯ "You''re not getting in my room and that¡¯s final.I''ll have my aunt prepare a room for you and when I am ready to talk, I''ll call you." When I say this, we are already in front of the castle and I walk in immediately, leaving him glued to the spot. ¡®Yeah, leave the poor guy to help himself out.You didn¡¯t even give him a tour, Isabe.I am sure that he doesn''t know any where to go, and he might meet an unmated female to show him this.¡¯ My feet stops and I begin to make sense of what she is trying to say. I don¡¯t have anything to do anyways.I turn back to call on him but all I see are the closed door.He is gone. "Nathan?" I call his name and my wolf casts and ¡® unbelievable¡¯ look in my direction. ¡®You''ve spent so much time without me that you can¡¯t even see prop ¡¯"You called me?" His voicees so close and I feel his breath at the back of my neck. I throw a smug look at my wolf, mentally. "You were saying?¡¯ I respond to my wolf, mentally. ¡®Shut up and tell him to follow you round the castle.¡¯ "Follow me round the castle." I speak out like I am been controlled and he frowns in confusion, making me shake my head as I re at the ground. My wolfughs loudly in my head. ¡®Oh, Izzy.It took a long time for me to get the strength to do that and it was worth it." She lets out a louderugh that I feel like my eardrums are about to burst. I ignore her, giving all my attention to Nathan. "Sorry about that, I don¡¯t know where that came from." I let out a nervousugh and mentally kick my wolf''s butt, making her wine. ¡®Ow! What was that for.¡¯ "Why don¡¯t I show you around.We can also use this means to talk about ourselves, get to know each other more." ¡®You sound like a dork.¡¯ My wolf snorts. "But luckily, you have me.You''re super lucky because of that.¡¯ No, I am super unlucky because of that. "That would be actually nice." His voice booms beside me and I almost jump. I forgot that he is close to me. My wolf have been causing so much distractions that I am unable to meet up to the real world. "Good or I might have to strangle you." He throws his head back and lets out a loudugh, sending shivers down my spine. I find myself looking around to see if we''ve caught anyone''s attention but no one is here. "What is wrong with you and strangling me." His question throws me off-guard and he notices it.He gives me his full attention. "I don''t really know.I just say it sometimes.Maybe the worst way to die is through chocking and I''d like people that I kill to die that way because I will only kill them if they deserve it." I peer up at him, expecting to see him looking down at me with shock, distaste, but it is the opposite. I see curiosity and wonder in his eyes. "So I deserve to be strangled then?" I shrug. "That is if you push my buttons and keep me in the dark with who you are. I obviously don''t know a thing about you." He cocks an eyebrow with a sly look "And what buttons do you have exactly, I''d like to see them...The suggestive tone he uses makes my cheeks turn red and I blush under his scurry gaze. "What buttons?" "That''s exactly what I asked you.You are repeating my words." "Because I do not understand your question." I remark and he smiles coyly. "Or you just choose not to answer them. I understand, I won''t push it." He withdraws back with the smile still on his face and I blush even more deeper. He certainly knows what he is doing. "Do you want a tour or not." "I never said no, my princess." His endeavor makes me blush deeper than I ever have, much more deeper. The Novel will be updated first on this website.
