Mate by Fate?

Chapter Two

I am a lone cursed wolf; I don't even have a mother. Dang it! Why is it so cold? Shivers reached my spine, making my skin bump. I heard footsteps behind me, I tried shifting, but my wolf was tired. My brain began to race. Are they Back? Is it the wolves from last night? "Who's there?' I shouted defensively, come out! Suddenly, a large black wolf practically my height appears out of the darkness. His eyes were big and silver, looking straight at me. He was so close I could feel his breath on my face; this is it. My end is here for me. He didn't move; he began to smell me. His cold nose wet my neck as he sniffed my hair. I was frozen, not sure if he would hurt me. The only wolf I had been around was Mommah, and even I knew she was petite, and even the wolves that had attacked us the night before were nowhere near this big or tall.

"Please do it fast," I whispered to the beast, and he ignored me. His snout trailed down to my legs; he suddenly began to whimper as if he were holding himself back from something. I looked down and noticed that I was bleeding! Oh no, of all the times I asked for this, this is not a good time! His eyes turned black, and he began to salivate. I stepped back, wondering if maybe he was letting me leave. Suddenly, a horrific growl escaped him; my face was inches away. Oh no, I'd rather die as a wolf; I felt so useless as a human; here I am facing the most enormous beast I have ever seen, and I'm bleeding and naked. There's no doubt I am one hundred percent cursed!

I stumbled back from getting startled, and just when I thought I was surely going to die, I felt a wet touch between my thighs. "What the f**k!" I turned quickly, realizing there was another wolf behind me. He was huge, too! Where are these wolves coming from? My eyes began to water; I don't understand why this is happening! Not only am I going to die a human, but I'm going to be devoured by not one, but two big ass wolves… welp can't say Im surprised. At least they were beautiful wolves. This one had bright saphire eyes. His coat was white as snow, except his tail had silver on it. He was stunning, absolutely gorgeous. His snout was red from smelling the blood coming down from my legs. Instinctively, I pushed his face away; he looked up at me and opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth. Crap! I pissed him off now; the black wolf behind me jerked me to the side, causing me to fall.

Looking up, I felt like a tiny mouse witnessing an elephant fight. Obviously, the two wolves aren't elephants, but that's how small they made me feel. They were face to face equal in build and height. I honestly have no idea why they were fighting for me. I'm not much of a meal; there's way better meat in the forest than me.

I got up and started running, figured they'd be too busy fighting than paying attention to me. I ran as fast as my two feet allowed me to; please, Moon, help me! I prayed in my head; I know I was willing to call it quits a few minutes ago, but facing two large animals that want to take you apart makes you think twice about how endings should be. I reached the river and jumped in; the ice-cold water my entire body went numb. I stayed low until I knew for sure they didn't follow me; I was wrong. I spotted both of them snarling and growling at each other as they continued to track. Do they have to eat me? I don't carry nearly enough meat. Well, maybe my hips and legs take a healthy amount, but even that isn't enough for an appetite like theirs. And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I saw him. Oh, Moon, was he a sight; he was big and fluffy, and his coat was a black marble and shimmered even in darkness. I could feel the heat of my blood burning through me despite how cold the water was.

I think he felt me watching him because the son of a b***h spotted me. How! He cannot see me here; it's pitch black, and only my eyes are of the water. He ran towards the river quickly; I dove into the water and swam as fast and hard as possible. Oh, Moon! Please help me be fast; I need to get away. I don't know how far or long I swam, but I got away. I escaped them, but where did they come from? Are they part human? They were so big, I've never seen them so significant. Then again, the only wolves I remember being around were wolf pupps at the time and mother. Maybe they were all big like that, and I wasn't close enough to tell. Well, as soon as I eat and rest, I'll shift into my wolf, and they won't be a problem anymore. I woke up in human form! What? What's going on? Come on, wolf, I need you. Nothing, this is bullshit. How is this my luck? I wish Mom would've spoken to me and explained what was happening to my mind and body! Ah! It's so frustrating. What am I supposed to do as a human?

I tried collecting dead leaves to try and make myself some clothing. Winter was approaching, and if I couldn't shift into a wolf, I'd have no choice but to beg the manor to take me in. Or I'll die from the cold or starvation. These past few days have been brutal. I was so cold, but inside, I was burning. Most nights, I had to dip into the river, and my bleeding would happen around midnight. This night was the worst; I tossed and turned, trying to fight off urges to please myself. I got up and made my way to the river; I was hungry for meat, and all I had been able to find were berries. My human form sucked everything hurt my feet my skin got bruised easily. I felt so useless; I finally made it to the river when I smelled the sweetest aroma in the air. Oh! Wow, my mouth watered, and my inner thighs grew wet; what was that? My body felt hot, so hot! I fell on my knees, my back wanting to arch. "Stop! Oh Moon, make it stop!" I felt cool air arouse my n*****s; "No, come on, stop, just jump in the water, come on," I told myself. I couldn't stand up. I was burning all over, that's when I saw him, he was watching me.

His face was so hard to stop looking at his jawline sharp, lips big and full. The guy was a goddess, his arms and body big and built, his skin was sun-kissed, with lashes long and black, making his grey eyes look bright and shiny. "Are you my mate"? He looked confused about my question. Oh no, is he just some random guy? He is in a muscle- tee with running shorts. f**k! What if he thinks I need help and he's just human? "Umm.. sorry, just leave me alone! I'm just taking a swim". How embarrassing! I'm naked, bleeding, and my hair is always a hot mess; at least this time, it's hiding my boobs from this guy. My legs were beginning to cramp from sitting on them, "Let me help you," he knelt beside me, causing me to feel light and drunk. "Stay away," I panted; he grabbed me and stopped. He looked shocked or angry. "Who are you?" His tone was cold. " I..I. just leave." my heart began to pound, and he looked mad at me. My arms began to ache from how strong he held on to them, "Tell me, who the f**k are you?, What kind of blood magic are you doing here!" What was he talking about, blood magic? I don't know anything about magic ".What are you talking about?! Let me go!" I tried hard to pull away, but I couldn't get his grip off. "You're coming with me." I began screaming and biting him anything to get away; he tossed me over his shoulder. "Let me go!" I pounded his back and kicked my legs, he hugged my legs and ass tight with one arm, and my arms went numb from hitting him; what am I going to do?

"Where are you taking me?" I didn't expect him to answer me, mainly because I scratched and bit his skin raw, and he acted as if it didn't phase him." The manor." "Good luck getting me in," I said sarcastically; at least I know he's Lycanthrope. "Why aren't you in wolf form?" He asked. "I haven't been able to shift; I don't know why." He stopped. "If I put you down, promise not to take off on me?" My mind thought of all possible scenarios, but the truth was in my condition, I needed help. "Promise you won't run off," he said, placing me down, facing his chiseled chest; I looked up to meet his gaze. This guy easily towered over me at about 7 feet tall, the least! I bit my lip and breathed. Look, I have no idea why you think I'm using blood magic, but I'm not." He seemed confused as he stroked his hair back with one hand and avoided looking at me. "You see, I want to believe you, but only blood magic is strong enough to do what you're doing." he finally looked at me; this time, his eyes were black, fully dilated.

What is that I'm doing? What is he talking about? I haven't done anything to anyone. I stepped back, not knowing what to do; he traced my step; this time, he leaned towards me. I backed into a large Oak tree; he caged me between his arms, closing the gap between his chest and my breasts. Heat began to stir in my body, making me feel a little light-headed. "Stop," I panted, not meaning it; he could smell my arousal like I could feel his. "Why do I want you so bad?" his voice rough and deep. I was so confused. Isn't this normal? "'re mates, right? Isn't this what's supposed to happen?" He slammed his fist into the tree. "I already have a mate," he gritted through his Pearly white canine teeth. My heart sank; I don't know why that hurt me so much to hear. "What, what do you mean?" He grabbed me by my arm and began to walk again. "That means you are using blood magic to make me.. an Alpha desire you; I can't be your mate because I already have a Luna I fated with, and it's not you".

My mind went fuzzy, and my heart heavy; I didn't know how to respond. How can this be it? I knew he belonged to me; I could feel him. I hadn't been able to feel anyone besides my mother. How can he be mated? How can he bet an Alpha? No, no, no, Moon, this can't be my fate. What are you going to do to me?" I'll take you to my father and the pack. They'll be able to fix this.
