Chapter 5 Why Was He Her Mate?
1046 Words
Penelope's POV
I could not believe what I just heard, and I wondered how stupid Zera could be. How could she believe the girl to think of collecting the sleeping portion from her? Who on earth gives a sleeping portion to a lady who is about to get married?
“Why are you acting like this? Please keep in mind that you begged desperately for it, and it's my bad that I mistook it for poison,” she says, and I scoff when hearing that.
“Your mistake cost me my life my lady, so I hope you will be more careful,” I say trying my best not to attack her, but it was hard.
I looked at the lady and I chuckled seeing how shocked she looked, and I smiled.
Of course, she should be shocked. I will not be her prawn…at least if the owner of the body has been her pawn for so long, then I begged to differ.
Not only that, but I am going to change my fate.
“What are you saying Zera, I mean this is the opportunity that you have longed for, and I know that you are not going to lose it for anything in the world, so what did you mean?” she asked, and I just snorted hearing the condescending meaning of her words.
Even though I do not know what the owner of this body is thinking, I think that she was stupid. How could she not have noticed the two-faced behavior, but I couldn't blame her though, I was also fooled by the two-faced behavior of my mate and stepsister?
We are both too blind to see the nature of humans.
“Yes, I know, right? It would have been the past me, I would have jumped at the offer but right now, I am going to pass. After having a taste of death, I doubt that I can attempt anything like that, so I think I will pass,” I say standing up from my seat and I could see her face boil in anger.
“What are you saying? That's not happening!” she yelled, and I smiled, seeing how she was revealing her claws. That's much better. I would appreciate it if she could actually charge towards me…that would be a better way to throw her out of the place.
“Why are you angry? Didn't you say that you are worried about me? So why are you being paranoid?” I asked her, and she looked awkward when I bombarded her with questions.
She looked flustered with my words, and I was sure that she wasn't expecting it, but I do not care. She needed someone to beat her in her game. She looked too proud.
“You are mistaken, Zera you are the one who wants to elope with your lover and not me so why are you trying to put this on me?” she says, and I sighed seeing that I was doing too much.
“Thanks for worrying about me, but I think this is when you stopped worrying because I am not pushing through with to elope again…” I was saying, but I heard a stern voice from behind us.
“Looks like someone got reborn,” I heard his teasing voice behind me and I couldn't turn to look at him because I was embarrassed, but I noticed the infatuated look the lady I haven't Hmm gotten her name was throwing at his way.
‘Oh, this was it all along!’ I mulled it over in my head. She wanted him for herself that was why she was getting Zera out of the way, but she was too blind to see it.
“What are you doing here, Freya? It's our wedding night, I do not think you should be here!” I noticed that his voice was rather stern than earlier even when he was scolding me, but I ignored it.
The lady called Freya, and she apologized as she went out of the room while glaring at me, but I bet she didn't know that I noticed that.
“Let's start!” he said, slamming my body to his not giving me room to even say anything and I felt an electric shock course through my body immediately. Our body made contact and I shivered at that.
“Wait, I need…” I was saying, but I stopped when the man nibbled on my neck and I felt a weak presence in my body and I wondered what it was all about.
My body shook with discomfort as I tried to wiggle out of the man's hold, but the man was not letting me but rather pleasant smell wafted into my nose as the man's lips brushed my ears and my eyes turned misty at the contact.
“What are you doing? I thought you said you have changed?” I heard him ask, but I did not mind him as I focused on the smell and a subtle moan escaped my mouth as the man nibbled on my neck, but my brain was in realization when my wolf, which had been long quiet, whispered to me.
Mate! She purred and my body stiff in shock hearing that.
What! Mate? Alpha Cane Callisto is my mate? Didn't I have a mate already?
“What's going on?” I mumbled absentmindedly, and it was like the man heard his words as he hissed frustrated leaving my neck, and he met my gaze with his fiery eyes and I shivered as I heard my wind jolt in excitement.
‘We are giving a second chance at happiness, Penelope, the moon goddess is blessing us!’ she purred, but I did not mind her as my brain was still fuzzy with the realization.
“Why are you asking? Don't tell me you are too dumb to understand this too?” I heard the man hissed in anger, but my next question riled him up too much.
“Why are you my mate? What is happening?” I asked.
Why did the mate of the owner of this body suddenly turn out to be my second chance mate? Is the Moon Goddess tricking me?
