Love With Her Unknown Mate

Episode 11

Kaith's P.O.V

Since when I have parted my ways from them in front of our school gate, I kept feeling anxious and desperate for some unknown reason.

I couldn't even concentrate much on my practice session for the beta training at our pack. My mind kept zoning out every now and then.

I didn't know why.

As if I should be somewhere else.

As if I need to be with someone important.

And...And my wolf was going nuts at the back of my mind. Once I had felt him almost at the verge of coming out in between the training.

Fuck.

A realization struck all of a sudden.

Mate?

Is it a mate's call?

Is she thinking off me?

How do I know?

What should I do?

Soon I was engulfed with a lot of questions without a single answer.

The only thing I knew was I needed to go out and look for her as soon as possible.

And I had a slight hunch about who could it be. So I took my bike out of the packhouse only to turn my wheels towards a familiar dark alley where night becomes alive but survives as a wild savage.

Yes, the club.

The night club where Jenny works.

I always had a feeling that she is my mate, at least that makes a reason for my inexplicable stupid behaviour around her. My hearts doesn't listen to me anymore when she is before me, neither do my eyes as they insist on staying fixed on jenny all the time without any intention to see other things around.

She must be my mate.

She has to be.

On my way, I kept wishing to find her at last.

It's good that I had waited.

Yes,

I waited for my mate.

I wanted to love her only and I needed the same only from her as well.

Even though I knew that it wasn't time yet for Jenny to get off from her work, still I chose to go there. Because staying here at the packhouse would do nothing better, instead of making me even more impatient until I got crazy.

Time had stopped for me as every second seemed like an eternity. The road ahead looked even longer creating an infinite distance between me and my mate, all of a sudden. But still, I am not losing hope even for a second to get to my mate, no matter how much time it needs, no matter how long distance I have to cover.

But why?

Why now the time had to stop to torture me even more?

Even in the cold night, I was sweating due to the immense effort that I kept giving on myself to control my anxiety.

But one thing I didn't understand, why am I feeling like this now? Why today? What changed?

No, I didn't have an answer.

So I kept my eyes straight on the road again. The road that would lead me to my mate.

To jenny.

I mean I think it would be Jenny.

After an eternity I was about to reach, but...

But, I stopped.

I stopped my bike all of a sudden in the middle of the road due to a certain smell.

The smell?

Yes,

The most intoxicating smell for me, and I knew the meaning of it.

It was the only smell that could calm me down. But strangely the scent was coming from somewhere which was not at all the club that I was heading towards.

How?

I freaked out.

Is Jenny out already? But I couldn't see anyone because the night was dark and the alley was even darker. The alley which was pulling me inside with some kind of invisible string only to merge with the darkness.

I parked my bike at the side of the road and got down right after, as I couldn't ride my bike in the alley because the road seemed under construction.

My heart beats raised expecting something unexpected, because as far as I could think, jenny could never get in this dark alley at this late hour of the night without any reason. Then why? Why is the smell still coming from there?

And why is it having this much effect on me, as if I am compelled?

Who could be in there?

I took a step only to pause once again. Various uncanny thoughts kept colluding my mind. And in no time, I was left with so many what-ifs.

The chilled air of the cold night couldn't stop me from sweating even more as I kept fighting with my own self. But still, at the end of everything, I wanted my mate. No matter who she is, how she is.

Finally, I was determined enough to take the next step as I went into the darkest alley. I could see nothing except the pitch-black void all around me but the very smell was becoming even closer with each of my steps ahead. Not a single sound I could hear but only of my loud footsteps along with my pounding heart.

For a moment I forgot everything that I should be doing. Like I could have called Jenny, or Sam but I didn't. Even I could have gone to the club to see if Jenny was still there or not, but again I couldn't.

My mind became blank, only my legs and my heart kept moving, arousing all my wolf senses with each passing moment.

The silence around me was horrifying, reminding me of the dead. But I knew that mate would definitely be the light who would show me the way out through the dark, so that I don't have to fall behind.

So, keeping my faith on mate I merged fully within the darkness.

And just then I saw only a silhouette in the dark, realising that she is the one. The one who was pulling me towards her, all this time. The one who was thinking about me.

The one who was meant to be mine.

My mate.

Though I couldn't see her properly still I knew.

"Mate" I muttered under my breath as I began to take big steps to increase my pace, as I couldn't hold myself longer to take her into my embrace.

I waited enough.

But not anymore.

I have found her, and no matter who she is, I knew that I want her only.

Summer's P.O.V

Why is this happening to me after all that I did?

Even when I always wanted to be hidden from the harsh world, why did I get found and that too by the one from whom I could never escape, no matter how much I try to?

Why we had to meet like this?

When I am scared of myself, when I am scared to be happy once again. The only thing that I had believed until now is being happy is something that was never meant for me.

Actually, being loved wasn't meant for me at all.

And when my life is already like hell, how can I still expect someone to love me unconditionally and also when we don't even know each other. I wonder how this kind of feelings due to our mate bond would fly away in no time when he gets to know that I am the most hated.

When he gets to know that I am no one but the pathetic Summer who would definitely drag anyone and everyone down with herself to the deep dark pit, whoever chooses to walk a path with her.

Amongst all these odds how can I expect the exceptional to happen?

How can I expect someone unknown to walk along with me on my path full of dismay? Full of thorns?

Let alone the fact that I always end up hurting everyone who wants to be the epitome of masculinity. What if he is no different from them?

What if he is like the exact one that I hate the most?

What if....???

So many questions, so many thoughts of a possible reaction from my mate kept crossing my mind without my permission. As if the dark alley wasn't dark enough to engulf me with all my misery.

But somehow, even in the chilled night, I was feeling warm. I wanted to dream for once.

No, not me, but my stupid heart wanted to. As if it has already started to melt from its long-frozen state.

I know that everyone feels to be the luckiest one if they could find their mate, but I couldn't even afford to be happy. Because I already knew, happiness won't last long for me. It never did anyway.

I was scared.

Yes.

Not a fight, not any bitter words, not the fact that everyone hates me could scare me as much as this moment right now. The moment when I was already at the verge of being exposed as the most unwanted which would cause me a rejection from my mate for sure.

And I knew, I would be broken miserably, if that happens. That's why...that was why I always tried to hide.

But little did I know. That whatever I try, I would be found at the end.

No,

I couldn't dare to turn back to see him...to see who my mate is exactly, to see who is holding me tight and melting me even in this cold dark night.

But then I realized, that the night was already dark enough that even if I turn around to face him I really doubt how much could he see me?

What if it is actually what the universe wanted for me to happen?

What if we weren't destined to see each other ever?

No no no... I couldn't think anymore at least not when my heart was racing like crazy, not when I could hear the loud beats of the other heart, not when he was holding me tight into his chest emitting the inexplicable sparks that I couldn't defy any longer.

I was absolutely stupefied.

As if his smell had completely compelled me not to move, not to run, not to hide.

But I already knew that it was only preparing to shatter itself bit by bit in coming time.

"I thought I was never going to find you." Breaking through my intense yet absurd thoughts his low and deep voice fell to my ears, causing me to shiver with the utter sensations.

His breath was warm...so was his embrace.

I realized that my yet unknown mate had still kept his head buried at the exact place as before since he pulled me into a hug without any intention to let go.

Neither did I try to push him away.

My eyes were closed but my senses were not, as I felt him rubbing his head constantly on my neck like a lost puppy. I knew that my body had already started to heat up as I felt tingles in my stomach. A lot and lots of tingles. And with his each and every movement, I was losing myself.

Something inside me was telling me to run when I still had time, but my legs didn't listen.

Is this what a mate bond can do to someone of our kind?

Because it is irresistible.

I know now.

I was feeling the same.

Neither could I run, nor could I stay.

And my mind was blank all of a sudden.

"It felt like I was waiting for you for an eternity, mate." He broke the silence again but that couldn't encourage me enough to open my mouth as well.

"I wanted to tell you so many things. At least I have decided so. But now when you are at last here in my arms, I forgot everything that I had to say.

I lost all my words that I had planned in my heads for long.

For now, I just want to stay like this forever.

I want to believe that I found you at last." His words were like a hammer which had already started its course to crumble down the strongest wall that I had created long ago. A wall to separate my world of darkness from the rest.

"Mate" Again he said, as if he was loving the word more with each passing seconds.

"If I ask something from you, would you give me?" At last. At last, I could gather enough courage to move my lips to convey the words which I was thinking in my mind.

I didn't know, whether my wish was right or not.

I didn't know if I was denying him of his rights or not.

But at least for once, I wanted to be selfish.

For once I wanted to be loved.

For once....I wanted to love.
