Chapter Four
1201 Words
Sasha’s POV
Confused and sad, I lay on my bed wondering what had gone wrong. Just when I thought everything was beginning to make sense, Fenris’ cold behavior throws me off balance. From the way he made love to me, I thought he was consumed by the same passion that took over me the moment he laid his powerful hands on me, but I guess I was wrong. He acted like what we shared at that moment was nothing.
Come to think of it, it’s obvious that we are fated for each other, especially from the spark of attraction that ignited between us the moment we met, but from his reaction after our lovemaking, it was crystal clear that he was yet to acknowledge the fact we were mates, but why? From all indications, when two wolves are meant to be together, they resonate with each other the moment they meet. Only it seems not to be the case.
And the most troubling part is that I went ahead and fell for the man that I was supposed to fear. Except what am I supposed to do when my mate is such a sophisticated man and very good in bed?
The very thought of what transpired between us made my toes curl in pleasure. Yet what can I do to make him see that we belong together? Regardless of what may be the case, I will make sure that he accepts me into his life and learn to love me.
With my determined declaration, I give in to the fatigue that consumed me at that moment falling into a deep sleep without much struggle.

“Thank you for the breakfast, it was delicious,” I say with a gleeful smile rubbing my stomach while staring at the Italian cook dressed in his full regalia that told anyone of his occupation. His wife similarly dressed, did the dishes. At the moment am in the kitchen sitting at the dining table. In front of me is an empty glassware I just ate from.
For the first time in a long while, my alarm failed to wake me up. The only reason I must have woken up must be because of my grumbling stomach that eventually led me to the kitchen. I guess, I was totally spent on the night activities I was engaged in.
At the memory, my face immediately flames up.
The sudden rise in the color of my face must have surprised the couple cause the next moment, they accosted me with the woman carrying a glass of water, worry written all over their creased faces.
“Are you alright, you look flushed” Maria commented
“Am fine” I quickly reply to quell their worry but Maria was having none of it.
“Here, have some water”
“But I said am fine” I reply laughing
“Regardless, drink the water”
Still laughing due to their expression, I drink the water nearly choking on it. Smiling, they shook their heads as they went about their business clearly wondering what must have reeled me up.
Leaving me to my thoughts again, I could tell, something had changed about me. Though I still felt sore in some certain areas of my body, I was right as rain.
“Pedro, has your master come down to have breakfast?” I asked thinking of Fenris for the umpteenth time
“No, unfortunately, he has not.”
“Do you think he will eventually order it?”
Looking at the time on the clock over the entrance of the kitchen, he answered with uncertainty.
“I highly doubt the possibility of that happening. Past this time, he never orders anything until dinner.”
From my barrage of questions, I could see that the chef was curious to know what was on my mind but apparently, am sure he feels out of place asking me anything. However, the same couldn’t be said for his wife because the next moment, she appeared by my side again.
“What is the matter? A moment ago, you looked very happy and now you look crest-fallen. Unable to stop myself I blurted out.
“How were you able to convince Pedro that he was your mate?”
From the look on her face, it was plain that I took her by surprise. But then she giggled like a little girl
“So, this is what that was all about.”
Regardless she continued “He did not need any convincing to know we were fated for each other but I did.”
“Usually, he would always say that I gave him hell when he tried courting me though I could tell he was joking. But as you can see we worked it out together.” Although Pedro seemed fixated on his chore, paying no heed to us, I did not miss the brilliant smile that washed over his face
“In my case, I found it difficult to believe we could actually be together even though I felt this magnetized attraction to him. we were both from rival packs. But I guess our love won against all odds.” She finished.
At that moment, I longed for what they had for each other. For years I have searched for my mate all to no avail and now, I have finally found him, but he refuses to acknowledge me.
“So, who is this person that has captured your heart?” She inquired
“The alpha king, Fenris” I sighed
“Oh, I guess you have gotten yourself in a twist.” She said looking at me in pity.
Now it was my turn to be surprised. I thought by hearing her master’s name, she would have exclaimed, yet she barely reacted.
“What is that look on your face?” she asked laughing
I can tell you both were together last night. You have his scent all over you.” She uttered abruptly.
Instantly my face flamed again in embarrassment. She laughed so hard I thought she would collapse.
“Could you stop making the young miss embarrassed already?” Pedro interfered though there was a large grin on his face and a twinkle in his eyes that screamed mischief.
At that moment I did not know whether to laugh or simply leave the kitchen. But her next words ended my dilemma.
Finally sobered she looked at me teary-eyed “There is no need to be so bashful. It is only normal that you two could not help but……” her laughter cut her off again.
Ok, now it was decided I was leaving before she killed me with embarrassment. Except, before I could get up, the abrupt end of Maria’s laughter and sudden piercing look made me uneasy.
She sniffed the air, then observed me a bit in puzzlement before saying
“There is a third scent I perceive from you though it is faint but it is very present.”
“What does that mean” I retorted in confusion
“Oh, I think you do know.”
Suddenly, realization dawned on me.
Is it possible? I asked with mixed feelings.
