3 Mate

"I wonder how can the sun love the moon so much that

he dies every night so she can breath."

■ ELENA ■

I have never experienced a whirlpool of so much emotions as I am experiencing right now.

Yes,today is Alpha Ashton's birthday and I am the most anxious person on this Earth at the present time.

I feel happy,

Happy that Alpha Ashton will find his mate today.

I feel sad,

Sad that I will lose my love who is not even mine.

I feel hopeful,

Hopeful that I may be that lucky girl (this feeling is due to my wolf Faith because I am totally hopeless) .

And I feel afraid ,

Afraid that he will not accept me if, by God's grace ,I am his mate.

So after preparing myself for all kind of disasters ,I headed to school with Jess.

But the question is: Would my preparation be enough to protect me?

When We reached at school,I noticed that many students are absent including Alpha Ashton. May be he is busy with preparation.

Jess told me that David & Amy will not be coming today because David was not feeling well. So we went to our class.

After 3rd period ,I have a free period while Jess has biology.

She left for her class in a really joyous mood & I suspect it has something to do with Beta Chris (today he & Alpha Ashton will claim their title officially) .I hope to see a new couple soon.

I am actually surprised to see Beta Chris at the school, He might have come late.

Can it be possible that Alpha Ashton is here in school too ?

Just as I was wandering around the school a strong scent hit my nostrills. It is of pine and forest and seems oddly familiar.

Another scent is also in the air

But the intoxinating scent of pine is driving me crazy and all other scents are fading.

My wolf Faith is going restless and she led me towards that direction of the scent spell-bounded.

As the smell became stronger, I could see a familiar Godlike figure standing at the secluded corner with another one.

Just then Faith said

the most cherished word of a werewolf,

"MATE".

"Mate,mate go to mate" Faith begged.

The figures became clear and I saw the pair of Those dark chocolate eyes I see in my

dreams yet His gaze was not directed towards me.

He was staring at Lucy who was beside him AND He started kissing her lovingly.I was standing there dumb-founded feeling confused and my wolf was feeling shattered by the joke of our fate.

My vision became blurry with unshed tears..

After what seems like eternity Alpha Ashton couldn't ignore us anymore (I assume) and lifted his eyes to meet my blurry ones and my world stopped.

I lost myself in his eyes and my anxious wolf seemed to calm down. His face remained void of any emotion and he resumed what he was doing breaking my heart into billion pieces.

I regained my senses and sprinted towards the forest beside my school and shifted behind a tree keeping my clothes there.

I gave the whole control to Faith and she was running with a speed I have never seen ,as if it will stop the pain we are feeling in our chests ,towards the

lake.

Faith was white and was really huge for a she-wolf,it might be due to my Alpha-blood mother.

After reaching there, she let out a howl of agony and whimpered sitting on her hind legs.

I Was feeling no less pain. But I have to be strong for my wolf who just faced indirect rejection from her mate.

"Faith,don't feel like that. We have each other and we will find a way to solve this mess."I consoled her though I am not feeling any better myself.

"He is our mate. He is supposed to love us unconditionally and make us feel complete not broken. Why is he doing that ?I can feel his wolf begging for us."Faith voiced her confusion.

"May be he is not satisfied with me so he is denying you.I am sorry Faith for not being enough and causing you pain. You

deserve the best."I displayed my thoughts to her.

"Don't ever say that Ely. You are me and I am you. We are nothing without eachother and you are more than enough for him. He will have to accept us."Faith scolded me in a sisterly tone.

I feel very "blessed to have her & she fulfills the role of a sibling

in my life.

After talking for a whille when we calmed down a bit ,we returned back to school.

I quickly put on my dress and willed myself to go to the economics class realizing that's my next class I have.

That doesn't mean my pain has subsided.

It still fills like I am inside a deep

ocean without any knowledge of swimming and it is suffocating me.

After I reached class,I sat beside Jess forcing a smile on my lips.

"Hey, Where were you in your free period?," asked Jess with worry.

"Just wondering around."I answered waving my hand.

"I am going to tonight's party with beta Chris. Will it be okay if I don't pick you up?,"Jess was fidgeting with her

fingers.

See I knew there is something going on between them.

"Oh Jess ! It's not a problem at all and enjoy huh. Keep your hormones in check."I teased her.

I totally ship her with Beta Chris. They will make a cute couple. What if I

don't have a successful love-life.

I am happy if my friends are happy. At my words Jess blushed so hard that my fake smile was replaced by a real one.

The school came to an end and Jess left in a hurry to get ready for the party but not before asking me if I can go home on my own for at least 100th time.

That girl worries too much.I was picking my math copy from my locker when the familiar intoxinating scent filled my

senses.

I turned around to hit the hard chest of the source of the scent and gasped as the electric spark flooded through my body with pleasant tingles.

I have heard before how you feel when you touch your mate but no story can explain a bit of what I am experiencing right now.

I lifted my gaze to meet his eyes but couldn't find a sign of any emotions.

'Atleast there was no hatred.' I thought.

"I want to talk to you."Alpha Ashton said in a soft yet firm voice and tucked a hair strand behind my ear , my breath hitched as it was the best Sound I ever heard and his gesture made me feel giddy.

Not trusting my voice I just nodded my head.

"I want you to ditch tonight's party."He said in a voice that leaves no space for arguement.

Reallity hit me hard.

He came here to tell me that he doesn`t want me in his party. After saying that he left immediately leaving me utterly shaken.

The strange thing is I don't want to disobey him.

So I went to David's texting my mom & Jess that I won't go to the party.

As I reached David's house, I saw David sitting on the porch alone.

"Hey, What are you doing here alone?",I asked David and he raised his eyebrow at me.

"Don't you think it will be more appropriate if I ask you that?"he countered back at me.

"I don't want to go to the party so I came here to check if you are going . If not then we can spend some buddy time."I answered sitting next to him.

"I am not going. Amy is going though so she went to my cousin's house to get ready and go with them and my parents are not home so I am sitting here."he said absentmindedly.

"Cool!so we can watch movies together. What are you waiting for?"I said to break the silence and dragged him inside.

After watching 2/3 movies of Harry potter series, David asked me "Why did you miss the party?"

I thought for a while if I should tell him or not.

Alpha Ashton don't want me and he will not be very happy if I drop the bomb to

anyone.

It is strange how My heart thinks of his priority 1st before mine irrespective of his behaviour.

Thus I told David the truth partially, "It is about his mate and I am not gonna explain. What about you? you are in a foul mood since yesterday and don't hide it from me. You even didn't swoon over HARRY today during the movie and it's not normal.

If you ever considered me as a friend tell me , what if I can help?"I pleaded.

yesterday I thought he would tell me eventually but no I have to put some effort. So I gave him those puppy eyes with a sad look.

"Why did you use that look?aghhh. Okay it has something to do with Ryan (his crush).I saw him with Lia in janitor closet and you can understand the rest."he

explained looking down.

Oh that's the reason.

I guess we are kind of in same situation.

After that David and me talked for a while and I hae succeded to some extent in making him normal.

Just then Jess called me and

informed that Alpha Ashton left the party early and Lucy is not his mate.

But what made me restless was one sentence of Lucy which slipped out of her tongue ,

"I think Alpha Ashton is planning to reject

his mate."

Once I reached home, I didn`t find my mom which means she has night shift in hospital.

Tonight I was afraid to be alone with my thoughts. Tonight I wanted to hide in my mother's embrace and forget about every other thing that existed.

The whole mate incident finally seemed to settle in , as my body quivered with painful rejection.

I was tired physically and mentally and I just wanted to give into the obscure abyss of sleep.

I was not feeling hungry so I went straight to my bed but the question remained in my mind ,

"How would I survive if alpha Ashton rejects me ?"
