Chapter 3 Where Is My Mate?

1570 Words
Beryl's POV I was dropped off at school by Andrew and the Lucas twins, which I couldn't believe. Until I was in class, I still had the band-aid on my ankle that Andrew had put on me, and it was burning against my skin. Something weird happened to the twins today, or I couldn't explain why their attitudes towards me had changed so quickly. I sat uncomfortably in my seat as I thought about the events of today. Mr. Eleanor spoke of the most crucial period for a werewolf, which was after the werewolf has found their mate. "When a werewolf finds their destined mate, it becomes very obvious that they want to mark each other. Whether it's kissing or mating, it's a huge boost to their abilities." Mr. Eleanor's stature was very large, and he was so handsome that when he lectured on stage, the girls below would flirt towards him. Though Mr. Eleanor didn't care for the glib faces. He was married, with a mate wolf of his own. Eleanor gazed over at me and I blinked, my heart beating a beat faster. "A mate is a very important thing to a wolf. They bring a deeper connection of power to each other." He grinned at me as if I'd already experienced something. But in truth, I buried my head in my textbook sadly. I had never experienced kissing before. I didn't even know where my future mate would be. But I was such a humble, insignificant being. Who would ever look at a useless wolf like me, a wolf who hadn't even awakened to herself by the age of sixteen? After class, Ashley was going to come after me. However, thanks to Mr. Eleanor, who made a point of staying with me, I was able to break free from Ashley's bullying. Mr. Eleanor patted me on the head. He was one of the few good people I'd met in the tribe. "Beryl, my good girl, go home soon. Don't let them get to you." "Thanks." I whispered to him. I was in a much happier mood and nodded vigorously towards Mr Eleanor. Back at the house, Lyra had already made dinner. Since I got out of school late today and Lyra had to take care of the rest of the tribe, she couldn't keep an eye on me doing things all the time, so sometimes she made a dinner. The buzz of the party continued as I made my way through the crowd. Andrew stopped me in my tracks, and I was expecting him to say something mean to me, but to my surprise, Andrew greeted me and let me sit next to him. "Beryl, will you sit next to me? I want to have dinner with you." Andrew invited me slightly awkwardly. I was flattered because Andrew had seated me right in the middle of him and Lucas. The twins were recognised by the tribe as the next Alphas. Their position, status, and looks attracted countless girls who wanted to sit in the middle of the twins. And now, these girls were looking at me with jealousy, wishing they could stick their eyes on me. The twins hadn't taken their eyes off me since I sat down. I looked down at my outfit. Black stockings and a white blouse with a black skirt, not much different from my usual outfit. But Andrew kept licking the corners of his lips, his eyes going from my head to my toes. And Lucas, though not as bold and enthusiastic as Andrew, looked at me with burning eyes. Andrew served me dinner. I fiddled with the beans in the hot soup and timidly took a few tastes. "Well, how do you like the taste of this soup?" Andrew looked at me with gentle eyes and a low voice like he was going to melt. I was expecting this to be a neat prank where I would get worms, rocks, etc. in the soup. But unexpectedly, there was nothing. Not only that, the soup was very tasty. Andrew complimented me, "You look very nice today, wearing a dress that matches you." "Come on." I rolled my eyes in disbelief. "You keep saying I'm fat and that I look ugly in dresses." Andrew apologised, "I'm sorry, I should have noticed the change in you a long time ago. You've really changed now and have become beautiful." I was surprised at Andrew's powers of observation. Even though they had been putting me down, calling me ugly and fat, I had been trying to improve myself. I've been learning about dressing styles, I've been reading a lot about fashion, and I know I'm not fat! At that moment, Lyra came over. She smiled and asked the twins, "How did dinner go?" "Very good, Mum. Your cooking has improved again." Andrew didn't mince words in his praise. Lyra looks tenderly at Lucas. "And you? Lucas, you're always fussy." Lucas smiled slightly, "You're the most perfect mother in the world." Lyra was pleased by the twins' compliments. She lowered her head and dropped tender kisses on both of the twins' foreheads. "Good night my dear boys. Have good dreams tonight." The scene stung my eyes. Growing up without the care of a mother and father, I used to look forward to the times in my dreams when my mother would tenderly kiss my forehead and tell me, "Beryl, you've done a great job." But obviously, this was an unrealistic dreaming. The reality was Lyra's icy gaze upon me, urging me to finish the rest of the rough work that wasn't done. With a mixture of sadness and envy, I returned to my room after finishing all the work. I was the only one gasping for breath in the lonely attic, and I was once again plunged into grief. I covered my face and cried. I knew I should be strong, but I really envied the twins for having a loving father and mother. Why did my parents have to abandon me when I was little? Why was I always alone? Why couldn't I awaken my own wolf? Why couldn't I be loved? The moon hung high outside the window. The whole forest was gloomy and dark. I heard the door to the attic room open. Turning around, surprisingly, it was Andrew who appeared in front of me. Andrew said, "Don't cry, dummy." He walked up to me and took me into his arms . He bent down and his face was so close to mine, so close that I could feel Andrew's hot breath spraying on my cheek. In this moment, my heart was beating very fast. I was desperate for a hug and a kiss. I stared at Andrew's handsome face for a long time and I asked him, "Would you mind giving me a kiss?" "Of course no problem, my baby." Andrew lifted his hand and caressed my cheek. I could feel his eyes on my red lips. I could see the knots in his throat rolling. He was tensing up too, his blue eyes turning a dull dark colour. Finally, he pressed in for a kiss. Soft lips and teeth were touching each other, and I felt dizzy. An indescribably wonderful taste hit my whole body like an electric current. Andrew grabbed my hand and stroked my cheek. My body felt very confused and hot, as if it desperately needed an outlet. He was about to drive me crazy. Andrew wrapped his arms around me tighter, pulling me to him. He leaned my back against his front and bent his body over mine, wrapping his arms around me and snuggling into me. Andrew kissed my ear, my neck, and gently rubbed my arm, making my whole body feel extra warm. I turned my head and he kissed me on the lips once more, slipping his tongue into my mouth and teasing me patiently. But at the same time, I was already wet and my body was unusually aroused. But just then, Lucas burst in, violently interrupting my passionate kiss with Andrew and making my heart beat faster. Lucas was standing not far away. He raised his jaw condescendingly and questioned us coldly, "Damn, what are you doing?" l felt guilty at the look he was giving me. The sweetness and warmth Andrew had brought still remained on my lips, like a dense electric current. God, I couldn't imagine what Lucas would think of me. Would he punish me for it? Would I be thrown out? I could feel my cheeks burning. I swallowed hard, too ashamed to raise my eyes. But I stammered out an explanation. "I just want to know what kissing feels like..." I closed my eyes and waited in silence for Lucas to humiliate me. But after a while, I heard Lucas walk up to me. Then he cupped my face and I opened my eyes in shock. His grey eyes looked deep into mine as if they were trying to suck me in. "Why didn't you come to me? I'm a much better kisser than Andrew." Lucas was only a centimetre from my lips as he lifted my chin dominantly. "So, can I kiss you now?" At the same time, Andrew grabbed my arm. "Wait, Lucas, I'm not done kissing her!" I looked at the two of them, my heart thumping so hard it was about to pop out.
