chapter four

Quinn's POV

" You have no business here Sebastian or do you want to continue with the war in an open place?" I became confused about what was actually going on, Jacob seemed to know this stranger.

" Do you consider a fight with you a war? don't be ridiculous Jacob, you are too small to call it a war "

The aura that was emitting from this man was quite alarming, who exactly was this man and why did he call me his mate?

" Enough, I said enough, can anyone explain what exactly is going on here? '' Sabrina yelled, drawing the attention of the other guests of the event.

" This is Sebastian, the next alpha to the red moon pack," Jacob said for Sabrina to gasp in shock.

" Now that the introduction is over, can I have some alone time with my mate?" He said that word again.

I can't remember being mated to him so where were all these things coming from?

" She is not your mate, here is your mate, '' Jacob pointed at Sabrina, who seemed to be surprised by what he said.

" Change of plan Jacob, I want her as my mate and not Gabriel's daughter else there is no deal," the stranger said, ' it's such a pity, this man was too handsome to be insane 'I thought. Jacob, who seemed to be angrier that another male was claiming to be my mate yelled

" You can't just back down from a deal Sebastian, you know what Gabriel can do? ".

'' You don't have to worry, leave Gabriel to me". He looked at me before leaving our presence.

" Quinn, no matter what happens I want you to avoid that man".

" Ok" I simply said even when I still didn't know what just happened.

" Jacob, what did you mean I was the one chosen to be his mate, that's not possible, can't you see the kind of aura that was emitting from him ?" Sabrina said.

It was true, even his presence alone would send a warning that this man was no one to mess with.

" You have to take it up to your father, I have no say in this, " Jacob said and went inside the hall.

" And you, do you know him before? " Sabrina asked, how did she think I would have known someone like that man when I hardly leave the mansion except when I left for school?

" No! " I simply said.

She said nothing more and left for the hall and I wisely followed her. The energy that was radiating in the hall was quite dense, what would you have expected when from the strongest to the weakest alphas and lunas were present?

I couldn't phantom whatever they were discussing, I understood not even an atom of it so I decided to leave the hall and wait for when the alpha's meeting would end.

" Hey, you " I heard a feminine voice but didn't pay any attention to it since there was no way I was the one she was calling for.

" Didn't you hear me call for you " the angry lady stood in front of me.

' Is there anybody that looks like me in this place? ' I asked myself because this was the second time today a stranger had talked to me most inappropriately.

" How may I help you? " I asked,

" If you want to help me, I want you to stay away from that man that you saw today, his mine "I immediately shook in fear the moment her eyes changed.

' She's a wolf ' I thought.

" I have no business with him, I don't even know him " I tried to defend myself since it wouldn't take her anything to kill me and I would be easily forgotten.

" That's what pretenders like you say, you all act innocent so you can lure men of high positions to yourself," she said.

" Miss, I think you should talk to him not me, why should I pretend when our paths have never crossed? , one thing I would never take was for someone to accuse me wrongly.

" You think I haven't made my research on you, you are a slave to the silver pack, your parents abandoned you but you refused to accept it so you lie to yourself that were dead and you are only at the mercy of the alpha of the silver pack because of an old servant you call father ".

She had just narrated my life story to me and non of it was a lie.

Why did she have to remind me, I was doing fine and was grateful that I had a roof over my head but why my parents, I had promised myself that I would never cry whenever they were mentioned but seems like that was impossible as tears were already flowing down my cheeks.

"What wrong have I done to you, I don't even know you so why to say such hurtful words to me all because of a man? ", I didn't care about the number of people that had stopped in their tracks to witness what was happening, there was nothing like a shame when my heart was heavy.

'' I said nothing wrong, I only spelled out your life for you, `` she said without guilt.

'' Can you just leave me alone, please? " I cried out loud like a child since no one came to defend me. "

If I leave you alone, then who would be with you, no one? Your parents saw that you were trouble, that's why they abandoned you to die " She kept saying the same thing, my parents, that was the only thing she could say that would possibly make me cry and she was surely making good use of it.

' Enough of this madness ' I thought, although she looked older than me, that doesn't make her better than me that I would have to reduce myself into showing weakness in front of her.

"Why are you killing yourself over a man who doesn't see you as a future mate if he does he wouldn't have said that to me and you should be embarrassed that a maid like me could easily entice him without even trying, something I am very sure you have been trying to achieve ".

I didn't even know what I said, how I said it, and what gave me the courage to run my mouth.

" How dare you? ''

she screamed and raised her hands to hit me. I closed my eyes ready for whatever she was about to do but when nothing happened after a few seconds, I opened my eyes only to see the strange man holding the lady's hand.

" Olivia, what are you doing here and what do you think you are doing? " he said ' so her name was Olivia ' I said inwardly.

" Sebastian leave my hands alone and let me teach this thing a lesson," she said.

" You would do no such thing, she's my Luna, harming her means harming me and you know that means ''

"But… ''

" There's no but please leave " as a member of his pack, she dared not do otherwise.

" Why are you crying, my princess? "he asked.

I couldn't even look at him in those bewitching eyes,' how could a man possess those unnaturally looking eyes? '.

" It's nothing, please what do you want from me, I can't stand anyone accusing me of something I have no idea about," I said.

" Tell me, what did she say to you? " he asked again but what would telling him solve, the damage had been done, she had already said all that she had in mind.

"Why do you care, if you hadn't come to me and publicly proclaimed I was your mate, she wouldn't have talked to me to start with ", yeah, the issue was his fault.

" I'm sorry but I couldn't control the urge to claim you when I saw you, he had that feeling of possessiveness an alpha has whenever he sees his luna ".

"Please stop calling me that, I am a human and you are a wolf, if what I heard was true, you are a future alpha for crying out loud, there is no way we can be mated," I said but with the way he was staring at, he didn't seem to have listened to what I said.

" Hey.. hey " I snapped him out of his thought.

" I'm sorry but your voice is like that of the waves of the ocean, as peaceful as the ancient tribe. I didn't understand what he was saying but I took it as a compliment.

" Thank you but I don't want our paths to cross because it would save us from unnecessary drama just like what your friend did," I said.

" Not so fast, our paths will surely meet and when that happens I would never let you go and you won't have a say" that sounded like a threat," are you planning to kidnap me? " I asked for him to chuckle.

" I don't do kidnaps but you will be mine whether you accept it or not ".
