Chapter 8

"Right, it has been long since we came to balcony" Hiya said. Then she looked at Ishid and said to him "Before leaving let me introduce you to my friends." "This is Natali." "And this is Nathan" Hiya gestured them respectively. "This is Ishid Blac, my, mate." Hiya introduced them with each. Nathan and Natali already knew who Ishid was after all who wouldn't know their Alpha's family. Ishid too could tell that they are werewolves from their pack. Wolves of same packs can recognize each other through their pack bond.

They greeted each other. Then Ishid took Hiya inside. The moment Ishid and Hiya left balcony Natali warned Nathan "Nathan behave yourself. Hiya alreay has a mate." Then she left without waiting for Nathan's response.

Nathan stood there for a while. He always knew Hiya never had any romantic feeling for him. It's not just because of her age she just never showed any kind interest toward anyone. She cared for friends and family but that was it. She was the type of person who gives you a vive that she would never fall in love with anyone. Yet Nathan saw infatuation in her eyes today for another man. He knows this is probably the mate bond. But he just cannot accept it before today he had a hope that maybe Hiya would become his mate someday. What happened today was beyond anyone's imagination. Hiya found her mate today. Every hope of Nathan was crushed when he saw Ishid and Hiya called each other 'mate.' He knows that he should not have interrupt Hiya and Ishid but he could not help himself when he saw them hugging each other. He has to straighten his mind no matter how hard it feels. He is just hoping that everything will be fine as soon as he finds his own mate. Nathan cleared his mind and went inside.

Everything was lively inside the house. The moment Hiya and Ishid stepped inside they become the center of the attention. Everyone came to congratulate them for finding each other. That includes Hiya's friends. Natali, Nila and Felomina surrounded Hiya. "Hiya is youngest among us but found her mate before anyone. Sure enough when it comes to Hiya everything is unexpected." Felomina said. Everyone agreed. Hiya blushed hearing this she didn't know how to defend herself. Afterall everything about her is truly unexpected. This was probably because she originally didn't belong to this dimension.

After talking to everyone Hiya went to look for her parents. Nimfia by now controlled her emotion and came to entertain the guests. Everyone was congratulating her but Nimfia could not feel any happiness. She does not know what she would do if Ishid wants to take Hiya away. No matter how they had become mates she couldn't possibly let her young daughter to leave with a stranger. They are mates that does not change the fact that they are strangers to each other. Werewolf probably can accept a total stranger for mate bond but human can't. For human being feelings are something to be nurtured. Mate bond helps to grow feeling for each other easily. That does not mean human would not feel uncomfortable around their mate who are stranger to them. Nimfia saw her daughter approaching her. She hugged her tightly. Nimfia was not ready to let daughter go. But for now she cannot do anything. As her husband said this is not the right time. They have to wait for party to end before they can decide anything.

Javed brought Hiya's birthday cake to the living room and called her. Cake cutting event passed without any drama. The party ended peacefully.
