Mateless (English)

Episode 3

I NEVER thought that starting from that night, my life will be ended so beautifully. Arvy and I have a short make-out session before coming back to the party.

I am hesitant to announce the news about finding my mate, which is Arvy. But I have no other choice when Arvy himself dropped the news that shocked everyone.

"Congratulations!" They all greeted us. Everyone is happy, I am happy too.

I thought that being mated is bad. But Goddess Luna is kind enough to let me be mated to someone I love the most.

"We never see this coming, but it is great that you are the next Luna of this pack," our alpha said in the middle of his laughter.

After the gathering, we came into the living room and our parents talk about our future.

Arvy and I are still young, but age does not matter when it comes to mating. We can be married as early as we can. But both families decide that the marriage will happen 2 years from now.

"Then we will end this talk, for now, it is so nice to know this good news. Have a great morning," Luna Andrea adjourned.

It is past 1 in the morning. They left with Arvy who gave me one last kiss on his lips. He looks not wanting to leave. They said that it is normal to feel abnormal attractions for newly found fated pairs.

"Wow, so our little sis will be soon Mrs. Luna of the pack," Marcus started to annoy me.

"Yeah, and if that day will come, I will make you my butt wiper," I teased back. His face churned into a disgusted expression.

My dad came into the middle of the conversation. "Okay, let us stop this noise and go back to your rooms. We need to rest," he yawned.

We all agree because we are all freaking tired.

THE next morning, I have to wake up so early to clean the mess left last night in our backyard. I brewed coffee and drink before taking the sweep from our garden garage. I bet my brother is still snoring right now.

"Hey!" I almost knock him off with my sweep because of surprising me.

"You know what, it is so early for you to ruin my day, Arvy." I mean he can greet me like a normal werewolf!

But I appreciate that he is here this early. I can see that he is excited as much as I am so excited too.

"Well, you need to drink coffee moderately, it is not good for you," he jokes so lamely but why do I have this urge to smile?

"You know it is impossible." I am addicted to coffee, as much as I am so into mint and lemon.

"What happened last night," he started his words shyly, very not do Arvy. He is confident with everything, so this is new and unusual.

"You look beautiful. I saw you last night, but you ran away." I remember him talking to his ex, which gives a pang to my heart.

"Because I honestly do not like you seeing talking with the other girl. Since you are my mate, maybe it is not too bad, to be honest with you. I like you since we were both young, and it blooms more until I fell hard for you.

"I am scared to say it to you. That you will be disgusted with the idea of your childhood friend falling in love with you. So I kept this feeling a secret. But who knows that you will be my mate?"

He sighed and hug me as well. Wiping my tars and giving me warmth and comfort.

"To be fair, I am also having a deep attraction to you. You are so beautiful that there are dozen of men every week, every single day that tried to ask you to go out, but I scared them off because I am scared that you will find someone more than me. I am so happy that our feeling is mutual, and not just because we are mated."

He kisses me, but we were interrupted by my dad who is watching us with his hissing smile. So overprotective, I am not six years old.

We started cleaning the backyard, and it is so fun doing it with my mate.

THE next day, Arvy plans to ask me for a date, but an emergency has happened.

I heard from someone that ten rogues have seen to the boundaries of our pack territories.

We have few casualties, but they manage to get rid of those stinking blood-lusting monsters.

Rogue is a werewolf who lost its ability to think and have a conscience. It is not a disease, rather a curse from ancient witches. The werewolf will turn rogue if being bitten and doesn't cured in a matter of time.

I got home and I saw one of my brothers, Samuel, with wounds on his arms being treated by the pack doctor. It seems like he also helps to fight those rogues.

It is very alarming for our security the numbers of rogue and missing pack members nowadays.

Samuel has to sleep, he is out of danger now. It is already evening when I sneak out of my room.

Coincidentally, I saw Arvy's brother going somewhere deeper on the wood. He looks suspicious, but I remember that he is also the son of our alpha. Maybe he loves to run in the woods, but t is dangerous this time.

I tried to go on his trail, but someone topped me.

"Hey, where are you going?" Arvy asked me. He is holding a weapon. It looks like he will be patrolling for the pack's safety.

"N-Nothing, I just miss you..."

"I miss you too, but it is not safe to go outside this time. Rogues are being active again."

In the end, he escorts me to go home, and I have to be scolded for being so 'stubborn'. I can defend myself. I trained hard enough to knock a few enemies.

That night, I also get the dream. It is so weird because it is so realistic. I saw Arvy being bitten by a rogue. That gives me a heart attack.

I forcedly raise from my bed, in the middle of the night just to drink cold water. That is just a bad dream, Mace, calm down.
