Then she drag him away, while I look at them with a slacked jaw.
"Wow, your mom is pretty scary..." Josh suddenly exclaim as he brought his arms around my shoulder.
"Tell me about it..."
--
Josh and I are already in the plane's lounge. I've been pacing back and forth as we wait for my mother and Masha. Quite honestly, its been more than an hour since they've gone and there's still no sight of them.
"Just sit Lo, you're making me dizzy walking like that.." Josh exclaim.
I turn towards him and walk over, "But they've gone for almost an hour now..and just for a shower.." I snap with worried voice.
He just lift his left brow at me and lean back on his seat.
"Seriously Louis, you can't even wait for a while..so disappointing.." My mom's voice exclaim behind me.
To my surprise, a sudden excitement filled me. An intoxicating scent come towards me, and my mouth become dry. Licking my lips I turn around, just to see an angel.
My eyes widen and my jaw drop. A shiver run on my spine, and my mind stop functioning.
In front of me is the most beautiful creature I laid my eyes on. He has soft silky wavy dark brown hair, framing his small and delicate face. His brows is perfectly drawn, emphasising his big doe violet eyes with thick and curled lashes. He has a small delicate nose, and pinkish plump lips.
His body is lean with enough muscles, he has a curvy body that's quite rare for boys and, wide hips and bubbly bottom.
Gulping, my cheeks start to heated up when I saw my mom look at me with a proud face.
"Hot damn! Is he really that boy??!" Josh suddenly states, while he whistle and look closely at Masha.
Masha starts to fidget uncontrollably and I know its making him uncomfortable wearing the clothes that my mother possibly picked for him. A tight white skinny jeans and fitting white long sleeve v-neck shirt.
"So what do you think?" Mom suddenly appear beside me, and look at me inquisitively.
I turn towards Masha and look at him, my eyes suddenly become soft. My heart starts to flutter inside my chest and a blissful feelings blossom deeply within me..
Suddenly he turn his eyes at me, and my breathing hitch when I saw him blushed profusely. A genuine smile blossom on my lips, while I stare directly on his eyes then suddenly he smile at me too.
"Hmm, how old are you Masha?" Josh ask out of the blue.
His gaze snap at Josh, and to my horror I suddenly felt cold when he remove his eyes away from me. "Well, I'm 15 why?"
Huh?! 15?! What the hell?!
"Really?" I croaked, as I felt my body begin numbing.
"Yeah..." That one word confirm my worst nightmare, then a sudden dizziness assaulted me. My world begin to swirl, as my vision blurred.
Then I fainted..
--
I suddenly snap my eyes open, and frantically look around.
"So how are you feeling?" Josh worried voice came to me.
Glancing at him, I slowly sit down and lean on the headrest. "Still alive.."
"Well, I won't blame you dude. Learning that your mate is a boy and 15 year old can be a bit...overwhelming."
I shrugged my shoulder, and slowly stood up.
"Hey where are you going?"
Without looking back, I walk over the door, "Just,..I want to be alone.." I murmur.
"Lo, don't worry about it. The Goddess might have a reason for giving you Masha as your mate."
I smile bitterly but I didn't answer back as I continue walk out the door.
My past suddenly emerge on my mind. My body starts to tremble as I slowly walk along the corridor, then I came in the plane's lounge. I walk over the couch and take a sit.
Gripping my hair, I start to grit my teeth as I close my eyes. And like a broken movie, scenes of that hateful night play over and over inside my head.
Shaking my head a little, I force it out and let it bury much deeper than before inside of my head.
"Are you alright?" Someone suddenly ask.
Jumping on my sit, I whip my head beside me just to see Masha looking at me with worried face.
I rub my hands over my face, and nod at him. "Yeah, I'm just fine..obviously."
He stare directly in my eyes, and me being guilty I avoid looking at him.
"You know, its fine to cry if its too much.."
I snap my head at him, and give him a glare. "You don't know me so stop telling me what to do!"
Regret flooded me inside when I saw his eyes swirl with pain. I want to tell him that 'I'm sorry' but I can't move my mouth to talk.
He suddenly drop his gaze and lean back on his chair.
Total silence engulf us, and honestly I want to say anything just to cut the thick tense air that begins to swirl around us.
"You're right, I really don't know anything about you but it doesn't mean that I'm not trying to understand everything. I might be a kid, a stranger and someone with insignificant importance in your life.."
Stop. I want him to stop talking.
He is important to me. I really want to tell him. And honestly, not just to me but to all of my pack members because he is my mate. That's what I want to tell him, but he never look up at me. And my stupid mouth won't cooperate with me, as words can't come out from it.
"But sometimes a stranger's point of view can be a great value too, did you know that?" He state clearly and turn around to gave me a soft smile.
My past become blurred and the memories of that night suddenly vanished, as I look at his smiling face which is free from pain and full of innocence.
"Because strong people don't cry because they are weak, they cry because they grow tired feeling strong."
My eyes glisten, then the floodgates broke down. Watching him looking at me with comforting eyes, not with pity and sympathy I feel that I can be free towards him.
Is this what it feels to have a mate?
Tears flow from my eyes, completely soaking my cheeks and then small arms wound around me as a small hand pat my back.
"You've been a good boy for quite long.."
I begin to breath hard as I start sobbing while I hug his smaller body tightly around me.
Just maybe, Josh is right... The Goddess gave him to me for a reason..

CHAPTER 4
Masha
Hugging a total stranger, huh? I never thought I will see the day that this will happen to me.
To everything I've experienced so far, I am not the right person who can give comfort to someone.
Because all my life I never experienced to have someone that will comfort me, give me attention, care for me and love me. So I'm really clueless in regards with giving comfort to others.
I am far from perfect, nor I'm innocent. I've seen enough devil in this world making me believe that no one will gave you anything without ripping something from you.
Trusting someone will only make you weak and vulnerable. Letting them in your heart will only hurt you in the long run.
Love, its just a cheap empty word without any meaning. And life is not fair, and it always will be.
To be strong enough, I need to harden the wall around my heart. Letting my mind become more mature as what my father taught me, because as he says no one will save me but myself.
And its true, as what I've seen so far. I live my life, as what my father taught me how should I lived mine and like he said nothing really bad happened to me.
But why, I'm feeling like this? There is an unknown feeling blossoming deeply inside me, while I gave comfort to this man.
Gripping the man tightly around my body, I can't help to feel scared but at the same time happy and content.
Why is that?
Suddenly he pull away, and wipe his cheeks that has been soak with his tears. Seeing a grown man cry like that might be hard to believe, but I guess like me there is something deeply hurting him that he can't tell to anyone.
Actually I felt envious of him because he can cry his worries away, but I can't. Like my tears have frozen, and even my heart.
"You know, I never thought that you will have such a smart mouth.." He suddenly said, snapping me away from my thoughts.
I grin and scoot farther from him, and lean back on my chair. "Its not originally mine, actually. I've just learned it from someone.."
Surprisingly, he grow rigid as his eyes turn to slits while gripping the armrest tightly with his hands.
"Who is it?" He growl.
I blink my eyes, and gape open mouthed at him. What just happened to him?
"Huh?"
He suddenly lean towards me, and slam his hands over my head totally caging my body.
Whoa?!
"I ask you who is it?!" He hissed and I don't know if its because of the darkness but I think I saw his eyes change color.
Scoffing to my own stupid thoughts, I touch his chest and push him but he is much stronger than I thought he would be.
Sighing defeatedly, I drop my hands and look at his eyes. "Geez, its my father. Why are you being like this anyway? Is there something wrong?"
He's face turn red up to the tips of his ears. Moving away slowly, he drop his gaze and sat back down on his chair.
Silence envelop us, and honestly its quite suffocating. Looking back at him secretly, I saw him fidget on his seat, tapping his foot uncontrollably. Sometimes he will turn to me, as if he want to tell me something but he will abruptly stop and look ahead while mumbling incoherent words under his breath.
Honestly, its creepy and pretty scary. He just broke down to tears a while ago and then he suddenly become angry, and now he's being paranoid.
Ugh, people is really hard to understand..
"Sorry for snapping at you. I really don't know what came over me, I'm just scared, and jealou--" A loud thudding noise cut whatever he wanted to say. Standing up, I saw the other man on the door. He is fuming while looking around the room with a glare. And he's actually pretty scary than these other man.
Because the way I can see it, this man sitting beside me is more beautiful than any woman I've seen. With longish wavy black hair, gorgeous gray eyes, perfectly sculpted face and olive tan skin. No man can look masculine, and look beautiful at the same time. Well, I guess he's different.
While the other man who is now walking over us with frightening eyes, is much bulkier and taller. With short cropped blonde hair, vivid green eyes and a healthy tan skin.
Honestly, I can't help to be envy with them because I do not like the way I look. Having a feminine face and body always got me in to countless trouble, and I assure you its not easy living throughout of it all.
"The both of you are still here! Were gonna land in fifteen minutes Lo, and you still didn't fixed your things!"
The other man suddenly grip his hair tightly with his fingers, and glare at the newcomer. Then he stand up, and look at me with a soft smile. After a while he turn his back on me as he start walking over the door.
