Mine

Rosaria. “So is your family coming for the ceremony tomorrow?” Mark asked as we took a stroll in the training grounds. He seemed a bit clingy today, more like he's afraid I will run away. He asked me to go for a walk with him two hours after that very awkward breakfast we had. “No, mom said they are busy trying to get used to the new environment but they will visit as soon as they get settled," he nodded his head as he entwined his fingers with mine. I was seriously starting to get irritated with his touch too like my wolf. Couldn't he walk properly without being touchy? It felt so uncomfortable which made me think twice about going through with the mating. I wasn't ready. My family had moved to the Alpha king’s pack a month ago. Sheila didn’t seem to get better so my parents stepped down from their position as the betas and applied to be warriors in the bluestone pack which is the Alpha king’s pack. My brother Jack also gave up his position and left, only I was left as I was to be mated to Mark. I really miss them but I understand them moving to help Sheila move on. The poor girl was no longer cheerful and she just locked herself up in her room. The most frustrating part is that she refused to give out information about her stupid mate. “How are you feeling about tomorrow?” He asked after being silent for a while. “I feel nothing.” He turned to look at me and I gasped after realizing I had unknowingly revealed my true feelings. ‘He deserves to know, it’s not fair to string him along when I don’t feel the same way,' I thought as I looked into his eyes after making a decision. ‘This is what I have been telling you for a while now but your stubbornness subjected me to his annoying kisses,’ my annoying wolf complained in my head. To say she’s crazy would be an understatement. “Mark, I need to tell you something,” I paused for a bit to collect my thoughts. “You said we are mates but for the past two years I have felt nothing. At first I thought I couldn’t feel the sparks because I wasn’t twenty yet but I'm almost twenty and I still don’t feel anything. I think even though you are my mate, I don’t have any romantic feelings for you. I love and respect you but not in the way you want me to.” I said everything in one breath and looked up but I immediately regretted doing what I did. I don’t think I would be able to forget the hurt look in his eyes. He had showered me with all the love in the world and all I could do was trample on his heart and feelings. “Rosa, I love you with or without the mate bond why can’t you do the same?” Mark asked angrily. I had never seen him so angry before. The vicious expression on his face sent shivers down my spine, not the pleasurable ones, but the shivers that caused goosebumps. It was terrifying. “Hahahaha!" He laughed like a maniac and for a moment there I wondered if he had gone mad. “hahahaha, Rosa.. whether you like it or not I'm the only one who can stay by your side forever. We have forever together little one, I am very patient, after waiting for so long I don’t mind waiting a little longer. Go back to your room and rest, I shall see you during the mating ceremony tomorrow. Jaxon!” He called for his beta after confusing me with his words. I wondered what he meant by saying he was the only one who could stay by my side... “Yes Alpha,” Jaxon came running as soon as he heard his name being called. Indeed, he was efficient. Had he been following us all along for him to pop out so soon after being called for? “Escort your Luna to her room and make sure she doesn’t wander around before the mating ceremony,” He instructed and my heart skipped a beat. ‘Is he going to lock me up to prevent me from running away, am I a prisoner now?’ I thought as I gave one last look at the man who now looked like a stranger to me or perhaps I did not know him like I thought I did. I sat on my bed as I felt sorry for myself. 'Why did I allow this to happen, when did I become so kind or weak? Mark seemed to have forgotten that I am not someone who could be forced into doing something I don’t want to do. But he got one thing right, my strength. He placed ten strong warriors outside my door because he knew I could easily knock them down. The bastard even sprayed the room with a spray made from wolfsbane so I can only use 30% of my strength which is not enough.' Wolfsbane is a werewolf's weakness, it's like a poison that makes you weak and it kills when taken in large quantities. I sighed inwardly trying to think of a proper escape plan when the scent of mint chocolate and vanilla hit me hard. Before I could turn I felt a sharp pain on my neck and darkness soon engulfed me. But before I blacked out, I felt someone carry me and sparks and tingles rushed through me. ... Alexander. My name is Alexander and I am the king of all werewolves. Why? Because I am a werewolf/Lycan and I am immortal. I have lived for over 600 years. How enviable, right? But I wouldn’t call myself lucky, being immortal is somehow torturous. As someone who cannot die you get to see your loved ones die whilst you remain alone, living a lonely life. For the past 600 years I have moved around with only one purpose, to find my mate and protect her with my life. I have loved only one woman my whole life, Gwendolyn. I still remember the day she died, my regret is that she did not get to live a full life. Maybe that’s why she made me promise to stay away from her in case she was reincarnated. ‘I bet she wants nothing to do with the person who caused her suffering.’ I thought sadly. If staying away from her would make her live a full life then it’s a sacrifice I would be willing to make. Then why would I wait for her? My goal is to protect her and repay her for saving me. But after many centuries passed and I couldn’t find her, I thought she would never be reincarnated. Until I met her in the moonstone pack 2 years ago. Actually, she found me, I was so shaken I made a mistake of calling her Gwen. I didn’t even hear her when she asked how I knew her middle name. I just wanted to hold her in my arms and feel the softness of her skin again. My broken heart suddenly healed, the mate bond snapping into place. The familiar scent of strawberries and custard hit my nostrils and I felt my wolf and Lycan stir and howl Mate!! They said in unison. The sound of my beta telling me its time snapped me back to my senses. I found myself standing in front of her, almost touching her cheek. ‘s**t! I almost broke my promise of staying away from her I need to get away from here.’ I thought and grabbed my beta and was out of the area in a flash. “We need to leave this place now.” I told Michael my beta as soon as we reached the guest house. Michael had been with me for 300 years and he's very loyal. He helped bring me back when I was almost losing myself. What I liked about him is, he never asked questions, he knew I wouldn’t do anything without a reason. After he informed the moonstone pack's beta we left immediately. My heart ached at leaving my mate behind after just meeting her again. ‘At least we know she’s alive,’ my wolf said sadly. It took a lot of willpower for me to stay away from my mate for 2 years. But I sent spies to keep tabs on her and make sure she’s safe. The reports I got broke my heart but I was happy she was living a normal life. One of my spies sent a report of her getting mated tomorrow, I kind of felt sad that she did not want to wait for her mate. But yet again, I wouldn’t show myself in front of her, it would mean she would stay alone.. I couldn’t be selfish though the thought of her belonging to someone else suffocated me. I felt like a huge hand made of iron was squeezing my heart. This love is so painful but I still want her to be happy, I will take all the pain. “Alpha..” some one disrupted my thoughts by mind linking me. “A certain Lady wants to see you, she’s the daughter of the newly recruited warriors.” He said. I scoffed, ‘newly recruited and already trying to seduce the Alpha king.’ My wolf and Lycan rolled their eyes, probably thinking I'm being over confident in my looks. “Tell her I'm busy and she should not come here again or else I will throw her family out of the pack.” I responded to him. “Alpha, she said it’s important, it’s about her sister Rosaria Gwendo-" “Let her in,” I quickly responded before he could finish his sentence. My heart started racing, is she talking about my Gwendolyn? Is something wrong? I was so nervous. The door to my office opened and a short girl with brown hair walked in. “Good afternoon Alpha,” She said and I got impatient. “Just go straight to the point.” I answered coldly. “I would like to ask you to rescue my sister, she has a mating ceremony tomorrow and the man she’s getting mated to is my mate. He lied to her that they are mates, she can’t recognize the mate bond as she is yet to turn 20,” she said and slightly bowed her head. What? The bastard is lying to Gwendolyn? So she thinks he's her mate? What the hell is this? I frowned as I looked at the short girl in front of me. ‘I told you to claim our mate but you were being stubborn,' my wolf complained but I ignored him. “How am I supposed to know you are not just jealous and want your sister out of the way so you can have your mate to yourself?” I enquired. “Because you of all people Alpha wouldn’t want her to get claimed if you knew who the man claiming her tomorrow is,” she said. Wow, she sure has got guts to speak to me like that. Perhaps I should throw her in the dungeon. “I had a dream,” she continued. “In the dream was my sister, you and the man who will be claiming her tomorrow. The man looked like a friend of yours, all of you were dressed in ancient clo-" Before she could finish her sentence I sprang up from my seat and was in front of her in a flash, I held her neck in a choke hold as I used my Alpha tone on her. “What is the bastard's middle name?” I asked as rage was building up inside me. People who had reincarnated had their original names as middle names and wolf name, but for ancient guys like me who couldn’t die, my first name was my wolf's name, we are one after all. ‘No it can’t be,' I rejected the thought but what she said next made me want to rush to the moonstone pack and rip the bastard's heart out. “It’s.. it’s Damien,” the visibly shaken lady whose name I don’t know just dropped a bomb on me. I let go of her and clenched my fists. ‘Damien… you sly bastard. How dare you touch what’s mine?' I thought as I left the office. ‘What are you going to do?’ My wolf asked. ‘I can’t let him have her.’ I am determined to get her back, I would never let Damien the traitor claim my mate. I no longer care about the consequences, Gwendolyn... or is it Rosaria now? She's MINE!
