My eyes didn't leave him, I was surprised when he said that I am his mate. When did he find out that, I am his mate? Is that the reason he kissed me some weeks back but why aren't I excited when he said that, he is my mate, this is one thing, I was waiting for and I thought I will be excited about it, it turns out, that he is not the one, my heartbeat for.
He move closer to me when he found out that not a word came out of my mouth and my expression, wasn't one he could read.
Aren't you happy that I am your mate? He asked, his face is pale, I don't want to tell him that, my heart doesn't beat for him, and that will mean rejecting him. I know that feeling of being rejected by your mate but the truth is, I feel nothing of such for him, the only thing I want from him is friendship, I see him as a friend and a brother not, someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, not someone, I want to be mate to.
Fiona, what are you thinking? He caresses my face, with his fingers. You shouldn't feel pretty, for yourself because I don't pity you, you are my mate and you know I love you, with Stefan out of the picture, you and I could have a peaceful life, we could love each other at peace, I know he is not going to let me have you even if he found out you are my mate. He said as he peck my lips, then drew me into his hand, I panicked, cause I have no idea what he is going to do to me.
Removing the hair from my neck, he leaned in. He watches my neck closely then blurt out.
Good.
it was obvious he is going to claim me. Since Stefan hasn't claimed me.
Oh God! He is going to bite me, he shouldn't mark me, I don't want to be his mate.
I screamed internally, his bite will be marking me and making me his, I don't want to. His fangs became elongated, he was going to pierce me, I watch as his fangs grow until it touches the skin of my neck
Fear and anxiety were written all over my face, I froze on the spot, I didn't move nor try to stop him, even though I want to push him away from me and run as fast as my leg could carry me but I just can't, I can't bring myself to hurt his feelings, I don't want him to feel rejected.
In as much as I don't want to push him away but fear of not loving him the way, I should love him, breaks my heart as his fangs graze my neck, I knew the next thing is for him to bite me, my heartbeat increase, as I try not to show that, I don't love him nor want him to mark me
Accepting my fate to learn to love him after all, he is a good man, a handsome one at that, and he is far from that beast that calls himself alpha that thinks women are for pleasure.
Before his fangs could go into me, I felt a slight whoosh next to me and the sound of a bang, a sound like a crack that hit the wall, my eyes opened slowly to see what had happened, only to see Leonid pinned to the wall by Stefan. Everything happens so fast that, for the first few seconds, I was lost.
Stefan's hand grabbed him by the neck, suspending him from the floor, his claws elongated, piecing Leonid's throat, as blood pumped out, he hit his head on the wall, as Leonid struggles under his grip, kicking him and scratching him with his nails, those were nothing to him.
Stop it please, Stefan stop, I beg you stop. I cry as I pleaded with him to let Leonid go, but he pays no attention to my words.
Please don't hurt him, I beg you, he is not doing anything bad. I just wanted him to stop, I could see Leonid bleeding badly, shifting into his wolf that force pushed Stefan from him.
Stefan grabbed his sword.
You should know provoking me, is provoking the devil, Stefan is going to attack Leonid, in his human form, he is not going to shift. When he swung the sword it cut Hunter, Leonid's wolf, Hunter dive at him but he dodge and Hunter fall face down.
Stefan pounced on him, and he threw punches at him, Hunter is badly hurt, even as he bury his fangs in Stefan's shoulder, he was like a monster, that felt nothing, I noticed he is no longer able to control his wolf, I could see his wolf struggling to come out, his fangs are now elongated, if Stefan shifted that will be the end of Leonid, I don't want that, he is my mate, even if I love this monster.
Stop please stop! I hurry to them but my foot was pierced deep by the broken glass. Ouch! I whinnied in anguish, Stefan turned his gaze to my direction, seeing blood pumping out of my foot, he jumped from Leonid, he force his hand into my mouth as he dragged the glass off my foot, I bite his arm, that he placed on my mouth but to my surprise, the bleeding stop and I felt nothing, no pain, the pain is gone.
Are you okay? He asked but my gaze was on Leonid, who is badly wounded and had shifted to his human form, I pushed from him, and hurry to Leonid.
Are you alright? I asked, Leonid, nodded.
Stefan watches me and assists Leonid to the couch.
Are you sure, you are alright?
Yes, I can't leave my mate. I was taken unaware, I wasn't expecting Leonid will bring that up, Stefan slowly retrieves himself, as he heard Leonid call me, his mate. He look like he was dreaming and now, he is up from his trance, he look at me, then turned his gaze to Leonid, he seem confused and frustrated at the same time. And without a word, he turned from us, and run out, his speed was fast, I wanted to go after him but Leonid pulled my hand.
Don't go after him, can't you see he is a monster, what if he hurt you? What if he assaults you, I don't want my mate to be in danger. He pulled me back into his embrace and his hand caressed my neck Knowing he wants to mark me since he can't the first time, I pushed him off me.
I need to go, you should rest. He held my wrist, I look at him.
You should add the substance to his food, whenever he comes around.
How do you think, he will want anything to do with me? I asked.
All you need do is apologize to him and make him trust you. I nodded and hurry out.
Stefan was back in Alpha Jason's pack, the father of Hazel, his pack was like his second house, and the Alpha always see him like the son, he never had.
He was training with the other warriors but Stefan's wolf is furious when the warrior swing his sword to strike, it didn't get to him because he cut the air. But every strike of Stefan went to the skin of the warrior.
It is like the blood of the warrior is giving him satisfaction.
You should fight back, he is going to kill you. Hazel screamed when Stefan is in this mood, his eyes are blood tasty and cloudy and the only thing on his mind is to kill. When the warrior try to strike him, he dodge everyone and kicked the sword from his hand, he took all the strength in the world not to shift but the wolf couldn't stay pulled, he force itself out and the first thing he did is to use his paws to hit the warrior, pushing him to the floor and dive to him.
Right on top of the warrior, not given the warrior chance to shift, his fangs and claws all elongated, with eyes red like fire.
