Despite being said, I saw something in Zero’s eyes and the stare I received from the woman I saw. They rejected each other right? But why do I feel like something was off? Or am I just paranoid?

I don't know what to do exactly. Do I tell him everything is going to be fine or that he did the right thing? Both of these can be taken to extreme ways beyond me trying to comfort him. My eyes take a short glance to Zero, how he sits beside me, his eyes locked upon the road, the radio off, and it seems as if he's absent.

Maybe he's feeling the side effects of rejection and how he’ll feel emptiness, lost as you become vulnerable and your heart aches. Zero got me through much of how I felt, how I was heartbroken and he was beside me, knowing to not take advantage of my vulnerability as he respected my state of being.

His jaw is clenched, his hands wrapped tight around the wheel as the familiar landscapes surround me. Just an hour ago we arrived back in the airport we left from, a hour drive b

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 37: Loved

    Hera’s Point of View“Y-you’re my mate?” I ask the most handsome man I have ever met. “Yes,” he said, smiling. “You mean-”He gently took me in his arms and wrapped his hands around me. I feel so safe and warm. I have never felt emotions like this. I feel so safe.“Yes and you’ll be safe here, Hera.”When I was a little girl, I always thought that I would be the woman that forsakened because I was a product of human and wolf, an abomination. Never in my life I would find happiness since I grew up being bullied and unloved.I would look around and see happy couples together, getting married and having children of their own. It would make me smile. What could be greater than that? I knew I only wanted one thing... to be happy and loved. Those were just a dream before I met this wonderful wolf, my mate and my man.“How about-”“The hunters? We have taken care of it, love. No one will be able to help hurt you in my care,” Zero said and touched my cheeks. Unfamiliar tingles travelled i

    Artemis Point of ViewThe weather is beautiful at this time in the morning, the dew fresh from the night, the sun barely rising, the chirping of birds heard, and the town barely awake on this summer day. Here I sit, on the patio of the backyard, my mother beside me as we enjoy early morning coffee with one another. As we discuss how my life is about to do now that Zero is my mate, I have so much I have to tell her. Last night I had asked if she wanted an early morning cup of coffee with me to discuss some issues. Starting off the conversation about mating, we are still on the topic, right now talking about my roommate who I will meet in person when I arrive. Mother is in for big news. News that happened three days ago and I've been reflecting off of. For three days my mind has been busy, my eyes unable to rest at night as I can't calm myself down.Zero respects that, giving me time as we text here and there, for the most part a sense of me avoiding him has settled in my stomach.

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 1: Artemis

    Higanbana pack, the special force of wolves dedicated to protecting the kingdom of werewolves. The pack members came from the bloodline of Fenrir, the guard of Selene. It said they were skilled in any fight in both human and werewolf form. They were the warriors that once fought the hunters and vampires that wanted to eliminate werewolves. They were the most respected pack even if their existence was purely kept hidden. Only when the king summons them do they answer in secrecy.What made the Higanbana pack strong? It was because their blood was pure and never mixed with any other werewolf blood. They never had a mate. Moon Goddess made sure of that. For warriors like Higanbana wolves, mate was the last thing on their minds. But for the last twenty years, Higanbana never produced male offspring even the Alpha.And that’s why, I, Artemis Knight, the next Alpha was being paired with an outsider. “Dad, this is unfair!” I screamed at him. “Do I not have the right to choose my pair?” I co

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 2: Scent of Mate

    I stopped my tracks as I smelt something so strong, so desiring to me that made my nose twitch. The scent had such an amazing smell… It was like a combination of citrus and yet a rainforest scent. Oh no..oh no no.. I don't have a mate! I'm not destined to have one!My wolf whimpered, begging to go close. I was confused by her statement. I shook my head. My wolf barked at me in order to hurry up. I walked through the hall, sniffing everyone that passed through me. A female nurse with strawberry hair walked past me. She seems like one of those types of nurses that are extremely exhausted seeing her darkening eye bags. She looked like she'd collapse anytime. I shrugged. In reality I didn't give a shit. This isn't my world. Human world doesn't exist in my eyes. I can't have feelings for them or interact with them. It's a part of werewolves, especially Higanbanas’.The fresh scent drove me insane. I couldn't pay attention to Charlotte anymore because my knees were shaking.“Damn it. We

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 3: One year Deal

    “That’s absolutely no, Artemis!” Dad said in the final tone. My wolf was never submitted to anyone but when Dad became serious, she chose not to ignite fire. “But Dad, this human is my mate. My soulmate and other half,” I replied, determined to have him no matter what. “But he’s a human! We do not mingle with humans. The other pack yes, but not us. There was a reason why we can’t! What if he’s a member of Hunter? What if he’s a spy?”I started to sob. My wolf whined. “Please, Dad. Please, I’m begging you,” I said. Dad inhaled, trying to suit his wolf that was now trying to come out. Mom started to suit him, helping him to calm his wolf. “Okay,” he said after a couple of minutes, and finally his wolf calmed down. “If you really want to have your human mate, I’ll give you a chance. I’m giving you a year. You have to convince the King and the whole Higanbana. Prove them that this human mate of yours can be trusted. If he’s not, you know it means his death and you will be the one who

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 4: Broken

    “Where have you been? Mary told me you filed a leave for two days,” Eliot told me when I went to work two days after staying in my apartment and pretended that I was not home. Eliot has been checking out for me for the past two days and although I was inside, I never answered his calls.He’s with his girlfriend, the girl who had been rumored to be his fiance and who was also a nurse. She was already transferred to the hospital we work at on the last day. “Oh sorry, I was with my family,” I replied, masking my pain with a smile. “Oh, okay. By the way, this is Mia, my fiance,” he proudly introduced his girlfriend to me. “Mia, this is Artemis, my best friend and the one who saved me when I was a child,” he proudly said. “Fiance? I thought-”“I’m pregnant,” Mia replied with her sweet smile. I looked at Eliot, confused as my heart broke into a million pieces. He gently took my hand, tingles exploded but I wasn’t longer happy about it. “Mia and I have been in a relationship since coll

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 5: Road of the Broken Dreams

    Eliot’s Point of ViewWhen I was a child I used to believe my grandma was the best woman in my life. She was kind and gentle but I guess you would never judge a person by their outer appearance. She was the worst and she’s not even related to me. All I knew was that she was something and my mom entrusted me with her. “Eliot!” I heard her screaming out of my room. “Get up!”As soon as I heard her voice, I woke up and scrambled on the edge of my mattress, under my threadbare blanket. The scuffs on the walls were all too familiar, as was the shabbiness of the few items carefully set in their places. But as miserable as it was to look at, I'd prefer to stay in the unkempt little room than face what was outside of it.Unfortunately, I didn't have the luxury of doing that. I swung my legs down to the floor and quickly dressed. I wasn't fast enough."Eliot!" The harping screech of my name echoed from below. Not wasting time, I hurried down before she had a chance to get even angrier with m

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chaptet 6: What hurts the most

    Artemis’ Point of viewThe ride is silent, the radio softly playing as my shoulders are tense. The trees passed by quickly as my eyes glanced to the side mirror, watching Charlotte’s date driving her car as he followed in pursuit. Looking back to the road, I recrossed my legs, the atmosphere tense as I just want to be alone, in the silence, my mind empty, and my heart no longer in pain.Charlotte was driving my car, her eyes locked on the road as she seemed relaxed to me, her posture relaxed, hands on the wheel, and not in some horrible state like myself. To the world, she is free. She was not tied down to a world of emotions that eat you alive because your mate is with another. Has she found her mate? No. How do I know? When a soon-to-be Beta found her mate, they could not stop talking about him or even keep their eyes off of him, not to mention everyone would know by now. She has not found her mate, and I know she was growing impatient because everyone else was finding theirs."Do

    Artemis’s point of ViewBeautiful. The buildings are a traditional style, the bricks more than a century old, the windows long and narrow, and massive trees that shade the sidewalks. If anything, I cannot wait for the next chapter of my life to begin here.“I like this place,” I told Zero. “I think this place will be- hey. Are you listening?” The entire trip was so quiet. Zero has become so quiet and I wonder why. “What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” I asked. “N-nothing. It’s just that I’m tired,” he replied, smiling. “You should have told me,” I said.“Na,” he shook his head. “We need this for our future,” he added, which made me smile."Really excited for all of this," I mention, turning to Flynn as we stand at the top of the stairs towards our new house in the most famous building that overlooks the fresh green grass and tree. "Two months away before the wedding. "Two months," Zero agrees, a smile upon his face as his mother is at the end of the stairs, capturing pictures of

    Hera’s Point of View“You’re a damn abomination!” My brother Alexi screamed at me. Today, I tried hard to fight him, but he was too strong for me to fight even if I’m half-wolf.I was beaten to death. My family hated me, even the hunters.I was gagged and tied up with my arms behind my back. My heart began to pound frantically in my chest at the loss of free movement. This was a whole new level of torture. I used all my strength and freed myself. Just when I thought I had finally escaped, something hit my head and consciousness split from me.I opened my eyes and cautiously looked around. I was still in the forest, although it was almost dawn judging by the light of the sky. I must have been out for hours. I was not alone, but I could not see my brother and I was not sure whether that realization relieved or upset me.I focused on the five people nearby me. I had never seen any of them before in my life.They were clearly large and strong and they moved like fighters. Then there was m

    Eliot's Point of ViewA week ago…a week already passed since Artemis completely destroyed me. One week and the pain has completely eaten me alive. I could have killed her if I wanted to but I can’t. I love her. I love her so much.“Captain, you’ve been silent for a week. What happened?” my junior, my second hand asks me when he sits besides me.I looked at him and smiled. “It's nothing,” I replied.Mateo smiled at me. “Doesn’t look like it's nothing, Captain,” he said. I heaved a sigh. “Well, uhh I was dumped by a woman I have loved since we were kids,” I said. “She, a… she rejected me or whatever you call it. She said she had already fallen in love with someone else.”Tears fell from my eyes. The pain is too unbearable. How could someone fall in love so deep and when dumped hurts like hell?I didn't make a single sound, and Mateo probably knew how much I was hurting. My back moved up and down, and I knew that crying was the only way for me to ease the pain. I lifted my head to t

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 32: Denied Rejection

    I should have rejected him before I slept with Zero last night. Why? Because I had forgotten that when you have sex with anyone not your mate, you feel pain. I put Eliot through pain last night and he has no idea how it happened. I have to reject him. It's not fair. It's not justified. I have to hold myself to the account that I will not be with Zero again that intimate until I reject Eliot.As I grab the sheets from the washer, my eyes widen. I gasp, dropping the blankets as I fall to the floor, a sharp pain in my stomach as I cry out in pain. My eyes squeeze shut, my muscles cramping as I roll onto my side. What a coincidence. What an irony.I have to reject him. I have to not only for him, but for me. For this pain. This pain will go away.I grab my phone, knowing he won't see my text for a while. Unlocking it, my fingers ache as I type away, sending the text to Eliot that should have been sent a long time ago.We need to talk. ASAP.Eliot is about to have his reality changed and i

  • The Warrior's Mate   Chapter 31: Perfect Sin

    A blush creeps up on my cheeks, my head cocking to the side as my eyes widen.Zero had playfully bitten my neck. It means something more in werewolf culture than human. It symbolizes someone's want to mate. It symbolizes someone's want to not only mate, but also claim. He wants to claim me as his.He's moving too fast. Faster than you should as a non-mate. Do I mind? A little because it scares me. It scares me how fast we are moving."Are you okay?" He asks, concerned lacing his words as I nod my head."I'm good, just zone out," I explain, offering Zero a soft smile as he nods."Let's head back to shore."Within five minutes we are back, the music loud as the group has a bonfire going. We walk up to the group, mingling with everyone as I greet people I haven't seen for what feels like ages.Green eyes. Bright green and red hair."Artemis," Mia greets, fixing a smile onto her face as I respect her. She's being mature and not holding a grudge when I would. Hell, if I were her, I would h

    My mother watches me as I head up to my room, closing the door behind me as I don't bother to lock it. I know he's going to try and get in here anyway. He always finds a way. I can hear them downstairs, wrapping up their conversation as I plant myself into my bed, the covers thrown over my body as I enclose my body in the sheets. My hands fly to my mouth, muffling the sobs that follow as my eyes are filled with tears. I did this all because I love someone else. I did this and have yet to reject him.I can hear the footsteps, how he gets closer every second. I now wish I had locked my door, to at least feel him by two minutes and collect myself. Rolling onto my stomach, I close my eyes, my eyelashes wet as they brush against my pillow. The door opens, his scent strong as he enters the room, striding in as if he owns the place, but I know he's here because he knows I'm in a bad state now."Artemis?"I pull the covers down a tad, bunching the ends just below my nose to hide my trembling
