The Alpha's new Obsession

CHAPTER 3

MATE

ASHINA

My father was shocked by what I said. Can't blame him, though. He told me for ages to accept Garth as my mate, but I always made excuses. And the ceremony of my mating with Garth tonight had started the day with heavy words that came from my mouth.-

In the morning, I told Dad that no one could make me accept Garth because only Charles would choose to be my mate.

“Are you thinking of something to fool us?” Dad doubtfully asked me. “I know how you hated the idea of Garth as your mate and now you are telling me you Wanted to marry him.”

My father's weary eyes were evident, and I sighed. I needed to make him believe, but he was right; since I learned that Garth was my mate, I kept nagging that I would reject him on the night of the ceremony.

Thinking about what words to make Dad believe me, that changing my mind is like changing my shoes, made me glance at Jenella. I saw the ugly expression on her face, but she immediately changed and bowed her head when she saw me giving her a side glance. I smirked. She is acting again as the soft and submissive one. What a loving sister, indeed!

“Believe me, Daddy. I wanna marry Garth. I will accept his mark at the ceremony tonight.

“Really? Are you not-”

“Please… I can't do more explaining but I need to know where Garth is? I wanna see him.”

Probably my father saw how determined I was, so he nodded while looking at me.

“Garth is in the guest house. He is there with beta and some from his pack.”

“Thank you. I kissed my father's cheek and ran out of our house. Before I left Dad and Jenella, I saw the face of the latter become redder out of the unexpected turn of events I caused.

‘you have no chance in this life, Jenella!’

I am thinking about to ruin Jenella's plan while doing a run-walk to see Gartha again. I have known Garth for two years. I was only eighteen, and he was twenty. The unfamiliar scent that made me know that he was my mate made aloof from him because I wanted Charles to be my mate and not him.

My wolf kept telling me that Garth was my true mate, but I didn't know why I had been attracted to Charles before. Now I am thinking about it. I know there would be an answer.

I was in front of the guesthouse when Trion, the beta of Garth's pack, blocked my way to enter.

“Let me in!” I said and daggered him with my stare. “I need to see Garth!”

“Are you and your boyfriend still not contented with what you did to him? He won't see you. He hated being your mate!”

“What are you saying?!” I angrily asked.

“Alpha Garth was pestered, bullied, and insulted by some friends of your beloved Charles. If you proudly choose that omega, you better stay away from our alpha.”

“I am Garth's mate, and once I said I wanna see him,you must follow my words! Now get off my sight, Trion!” I pushed the beta, and even though I heard his growl, it didn't scare me. I have been killed and lived again, so nothing could stop me now. I need to see Garth, and I will have his mark as his mate. I need to do everything to make our bond stronger.

I entered the guest house where the rest stayed for the upcoming ceremony. I faced more growling Lycans in front of me like they were ready to mess with me.

“Garth!” I shouted. “I will marry you Garth! Mark me! Make me your Luna!!!”

I was shouting these words, and I heard the amusement from some of the Lycans inside, but Trion’s laughter echoed around.

“After the embarrassment you did to our alpha multiple times, you changed your mind as easily as that? How come, Luna Ashina?” Trion said the word ‘luna’ as disgracing, and misty, my inner wolf, is now actively readying herself to fight.

“I have no business with any of you. I am here for my mate and only him I will explain!”

“Get here! I looked on the second-floor railings and saw Garth standing as tall and strong as always.

I gulped. How could I be such a fool in my past life to disregard Garth's powerful aura to blindly choose Charles? Yeah, it was because I believed Jenella's words that Garth has a dominant trait and could kill me in domestic violence… that Garth is a sadist, and I do believe that.

“Garth…” I whispered his name as my eyes started to produce tears.

Seeing him magnificently alive makes me remember how he sacrificed for me. If only I could tell him that.

“You said you wanna be my mate now,” Garth's smirk made me feel awkward. Why does he seem not happy?

“I—I do ….”

“Come here and we talk about that, Ash.” Ash… I feel bad hearing my nickname as it reminded me of what Jenella said before she burned me alive. I removed any bad emotion and ran upstairs. I raised the skirt of my ball gown to make it not disturb my steps.

I was In Front of Garth when I hugged him. And the Powerful scent occurred that made me turned red. A strong mat call.

I am ready for that, but Garth's not hugging me back. I felt bad, and it made me move my body away from him.

“Mark me now!” I told him.

Garth stared at me, then shook his head sideways, making me frown. Doesn't he want me now?

‘Moon Goddess, help me!’

“No!” My tears fell. “I was just blinded by my stupidity and innocence before, but I don't want him anymore! Believe me.”

“You told me multiple times as you chose him to be your one and true mate.”

“No!” This can't be. Garth should not reject me. “I realised that it was you I wanted to be with!” I said frantically. I need to convince him.

Garth was looking at me and bit his low lip like he wanted to say something when Beta Trion's bark of laughter took my attention.

“You are ten minutes late. We discussed the rejection at the ceremony that will happen later, princess. You are free now to pursue the love you kept on fighting for Charles.”

My mouth opened in a gape. Trion is mocking me.

I looked at Garth, and his agreeing look at what Trion said made me sob. This is not happening! I didn't die and go back to living just to be rejected.

“You need to mark me, Garth! You need to make me yours!”
