Am I your mate?

It took me hours to absorb all the things I experienced today, all the things that I learnt.

By the time, I had every information adjusted in my mind, I had taken a bath and changed into a fresh set of pajamas and was waiting for Christian to come home.

I don't have any cell phones, a television or a laptop, time was so hard to pass. So I had perched on the window wall of his room.

Staring at the peaceful surrounding. It was strange how I have seen only a few people around when Christian's pack is the most powerful and large.

'I wonder where the others might be?' I thought.

Sudden moments caught my attention in a dark area in front of me in the forest. I frowned trying to see what there was, but I could not find anything.

Just when I was about to lean a little more to see more closely, forgetting that I am perched on the window, a pair of arms wrapped around my torso.

I shrieked when I was picked up from the window and thrown on the bed.

"What the hell!" I yelled at the brooding man who was standing in front of me with folded arms.

"What the hell is something I wanted to ask you when you were trying to suicide? What do you think you were doing huh?" Christian asked me looking out of the window as if to see what caught my attention.

Listening to him, then only I realised what it might look like to others who saw me leaning out of the window.

I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks at the sudden embarrassment. Christian eyed my cheeks before his gaze bore into mine again.

'Trisha! You can easily make a fool of yourself! A great start darling!' my inner voice taunted me.

I ignored it and looked at Christian, "I was not trying to suicide. I was just sitting there and then-this- I saw something in the forest and was trying to find what it was," I explained to him while looking into his eyes.

But by the look of it, He was not listening to me, he was just following the moment of my lips with his eyes.

I cleared my throat, "Are you listening to me?" I asked him.

He gritted his jaw, rolling his eyes at me. "You better not be planning to die anytime soon. The vultures out there would be happy for the extra meal you will provide them by dying," He said to me and walked to the bathroom.

"What do you mean!?" I asked him, but it was too late. he was already inside the bathroom, closing the door.

I stared at the door for a long time, the sound of the shower running reminded me that I need to control myself around him.

I shake my head before my gaze fell on Christian's phone on the bedside table. A sinister smile took over my face.

One look at the bathroom door told me Christian will be there for a while. I picked up his phone.

Pressing the power button, the screen lit up. A black screen. 'What a surprise! Someone only like Christian will not put a wallpaper on their device,' I thought.

Swiping my thumb up the screen, the phone immediately unlocked. I opened the messages.

"Let's see who Mr Big Bad Alpha talks to," I whispered to myself.

As soon as the message application opened, the first thing I saw was Katherine's name. The text was seen but not replied to. I hesitate before opening the texts. Scrolling to the texts from the ones from two days ago.

(Two days ago)

Katherine: Who's the new girl everyone's talking about? :^)

Christian: I don't need to answer you.

Katherine: Why are you talking to me like this?

Katherine: Why are you not replying?

Katherine: Christian! Is she your chosen?

Katherine: Answer me!

Christian: I told you already, I don't need to answer you.

(Today)

Katherine: I've something to tell you!

Christian: Speak.

Katherine: Your horrible chosen is gone to spread her legs for Dominic.

Christian: Talk like that about my mate again and you will see what I am capable of.

Katherine: ;)

(no reply)

The last text got my attention, Before I can think more about it, the cell phone was ripped from my hands.

I looked up to find a very naked Christian with only a towel around his hips. Droplets of water were falling from his wet hair, sliding down his body before absorbing in his towel.

I gulped to stop myself from drooling at the amount of sexiness.

"Who told you to take my phone without asking me?" He asked, God! if he looked pissed.

I didn't answer because the word was still flashing across my mind.

"Mate," I said repeating the word to see his reaction.

His eyes went wide, he looked completely shocked.

"What did you say?" He asked me.

I looked into his eyes, "Mate~That's what you called me in your text, why?'' I asked.

His face dropped, his expression one of disappointment.

His gaze narrowed on me, clearing his throat. "You are in no position to ask me questions, next time think twice before doing something without my permission," He said before turning his back to me and walking towards the wardrobe.

I stared at his back, contemplating whether to push my luck or not.

My curiosity won, "Is it possible for humans to have mates?" I asked.

From where I sat, I saw his back muscles tensing, my suspicions were growing minute.

When I was starting to think he might not answer me. "Rare but possible," He said.

I gulped, and suddenly I was starting to feel really sad. "Do you think I may have a mate out there?" I asked.

He still hadn't turned to me, "As I said, It is rare but possible," He answered in a firm voice.

For a few minutes, the room fell into complete silence. I was debating whether to ask my next question, He was focused on ignoring me as he chooses his clothes.

I might regret my next question, but I had to ask.

"Christian?" I called him.

"hmm" was his response.

I closed my eyes for a second before composing myself to form the next words.

"Am I your mate Christian?" I asked.
