His Human Mate

Chapter 10

Hazel’s POV

It’s one in the morning. I am tossing and turning in my bed but couldn’t get any sleep. My mind is drifting back to the conversation I had with Emmett at his place in the afternoon.

Flashback:

“Because you are my mate” he said.

Mate?

Even some of my classmates were whispering about me being his mate.

‘ What does it mean?’ I thought.

As if he read my mind he replied, “being my mate means you are made for me. Only for me”.

My heart fluttered upon hearing his words.

“You are mine Hazel. Mine to hold, mine to cherish and mine to love, till my last breath” he whispered. His eyes held sincerity while his words held seriousness.

Butterflies erupted in my stomach when his soft lips touched my forehead gently, taking all my fear away. I relaxed in his arms.

The fact that he is a werewolf is very difficult to believe but I saw it myself. If he would have denied all the things I saw and had told me that it was just my imagination, I might have believed him.

But he didn’t, instead he told me that he is a werewolf. How am I supposed to not believe it when I witnessed it with my own eyes.

I came out of my thoughts when he pulled away. I missed his warmth the moment he took a step back.

“sit” he said and sat down on the sofa. I sat beside him maintaining some distance.

“all the wolves are gifted with a fated mate. Some are lucky to find their mate while some don’t find them. But everyone have one mate chosen by moon goddess”

“You are chosen for me. The moment I saw you, I knew it that you are my mate. If you were a wolf you would have recognized me as your mate just like I did, but you are a human” he said.

I heard his each word carefully. I am trying to process everything he is telling me.

‘I am his mate, made for him'

“I know it is too much for you to handle. I will give you time to think about everything I told you. But I can’t give you much time. You have till tomorrow.”

“Try to process all the information. You have to accept that you belong to me. And remember one thing, there is no escape for you, from me” he said seriously.

His last words sent shivers to me. He raised his brow waiting for a response, so I nodded my head.

Flashback ends:

Suddenly an idea clicked in my mind and I instantly picked up my phone.

I searched about werewolves and read few things about them. While searching from one website to another, I came across few novels on werewolves.

Just to kill time, I opened one and started reading. The story was so interesting that I didn’t realize when time flew by. While reading I fell asleep.

….

(Next day)

“Are you okay Hazel?” Harry asked me with concern. We are sitting in my room after dinner.

“I am fine Harry” I said to him with a smile so that he will believe me.

“But you don’t look like you are okay” he said with concern. Suddenly his expression changed replacing it with anger, “ does that boy is giving you trouble”.

“No, he is not” I said instantly. I don’t want him to think that Emmett is bothering me. He narrowed his eyes at me not convinced by my words.

“I am missing mom and dad that’s it” I added. His eyes softened and sadness filled inside them.

“I can understand, even I am missing them a lot” he said slowly.

“are you okay Harry?” I asked him. He is just Sixteen. It must be difficult for him to accept the truth.

“I am fine Hazel but I am really worried about you. You sure, no one is bothering you” he asked.

I feel bad for making him worry. As his elder sister, my duty is to take care of him not to make him worry.

“I am sorry” I said slowly feeling guilty. A tear slip down from my eye and I wiped it quickly.

“Don’t be sorry. You are my only family and I can’t bear to see you getting hurt” he said holding my hand.

I squeezed his hand lightly and gave him a small smile. “ don’t worry Harry, I am really fine. If someone tries to bully me I will come and tell you, I know my strong brother will protect me”.

“You better do that” he said in a little strict tone.

“But you are forgetting dear brother that I am your elder sister. So I would appreciate it if you act like my little brother and leave this protecting thing to me” I said pinching his both cheeks and he slapped my hands away from his face, annoyingly.

“I hate when you do it” he said caressing his cheeks with a scowl on his face and I couldn’t control myself and burst into laughter.

“Don’t laugh” he tried to say with anger while giving me a fake glare but failed as a smile broke onto his lips.

After talking for some more time he left. I am really feeling good now. Harry always figures out when I am down and he knows how to lighten up my mood.

I am really lucky to have a brother like him.

I took a quick shower and changed into a long full sleeved white t-shirt with print of small roses all over it and white shorts.

I left my hairs open and sat on the bed. Once again my mind drifted off to the boy who has made me restless.

Today my eyes kept searching for him in the University but I didn’t get even a glimpse of his face. He didn’t come in front of me and my eyes were just roaming everywhere to get a glimpse of him.

I don’t know why, I wanted to see him.

I am still processing all the information he gave me. He being a werewolf and me being his mate.

My chain of thoughts was broken by a knock. My heart began to race as the knock was not on my door but on window.

Who is knocking on my window?

Before I could think anything else I heard another knock, but this time, loud one. It has urgency.

With my shaking legs I walked near window and took a vas in my one hand. I was contemplating whether I should open it or not when I heard another knock.

Taking a deep breath and bracing myself to attack if need arises, I opened the window.

My eyes widened due to shock and the vas I was holding fell down on the floor. My mouth hung open while I blinked few times to check whether I am imagining him being here.

“You are not imagining anything sweetheart, I am really here” he said as if he read my mind, standing in front of me.

‘When did he come inside?' I asked myself but again he replied, “when you were gawking at me with your big eyes”.

“Can you read my mind?” I asked thinking it might be some superpower. He smiled at my words before saying, “no sweetheart, your face says it all”.

He was looking around in my room freely while I was still processing the fact that he is in my room. At this time.

“What are you doing here?” I asked him.

“To play hide and seek with you” he said without looking at me, his eyes roaming around in my room.

“huh?” a whisper left from my mouth. Too shocked to even note the sarcasm in his tone.

“I am here to meet you sweetheart” he said looking at some of my family photos, on wall.

“But why, you can meet me tomorrow in the college so why did you come here?”

“Because I missed you” he said and finally turned to face me. My heart skipped a beat upon hearing his words and looking at the sincerity in his eyes.

“we just met yesterday” I muttered.

“Hmm and it’s been more than twenty four hours that I last saw you” he said sitting on my bed. His back resting on headboard, his legs stretched on bed.

“Come here” he said patting the space beside him, telling me to sit there. I didn’t move from my place.

His eyes darkened a bit, jaw clenched and he gritted, “now”.

His aura held dominance while his voice held so much authority. My body automatically obeyed him and I found myself sitting on the bed maintaining a little distance between us.

Silence fell over us. I kept my eyes on my lap while his gaze was boring holes on my face. He was looking at me, without saying anything.

“how was your day?” he asked after a while.

“Good” I replied slowly.

“Have you accepted the fact that you are my mate?” he asked and I lifted my eyes up to look at him.

“Do I have any other choice?” I asked.

“Unfortunately, no. You will have to accept it” he stated.

“But I read in a book that a wolf can reject his or her mate if he wants to” I said hesitantly.

And in the next moment I was laying on my bed while he was hovering over me. His eyes red because of anger.

His jaw clenching and unclenching while he glared at me, causing my breath to hitch. My heart started beating erratically.

“What did you just say?” he asked. His voice very deep and slow lingered with anger and threat.

I gulped visibly.

“no.. nothing” I replied not able to utter the same words which I know will trigger him even more.

I am scared of him and his anger.

He kept staring at me with those emerald green eyes which hold so much depth into them, sometimes I feel like I will drown in them and will never be able to come out.

“You sure?” he asked raising his perfect brow. I nodded my head instantly.

I took a breath of relief when he moved away from me and went back to his previous position. I also sat down creating more distance.

I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. I curled my hands in fists and inhaled deeply to calm myself.

“you read it right, a wolf can reject their mate but I won’t reject you” he stated firmly. His tone cold and laced with finality. I looked up and my eyes locked with his.

“come closer” he demanded and my eyes widened. I shook my head left to right, negatively.

In the speed of lightening he came closer to me, sitting beside me. Our faces inches away. I tried to get up but he held my arm stopping me.

“I already told you Hazel that there is no escape for you from me. All you can do is to accept me and the truth” he said caressing my cheeks.

I saw madly possessiveness in his eyes which scared me to my core.

“When… will you go?” I asked wanting him to leave this place as soon as possible.

But the way he smirked at me upon hearing my words gave me chills.

My calmed heart again started beating fast and my breath got stuck in my throat when he uttered his next words,

“I am spending the night with you sweetheart”.
