Mate's Love
Mate's Love
ผู้แต่ง: Jasmine Flower

Chapter 1

ผู้เขียน: Jasmine Flower
Today, my eighteenth birthday, was meant for my bonding with James, my fated mate. Instead, the day before, he coldly rejected me, declaring his love for another. Today was their engagement party.

The bride, the Chief Elder's daughter, shimmered in an extravagant diamond gown. She was a vision of noble beauty. With the Silver Moon Pack's Alpha unexpectedly deceased, the Chief Elder held the power to appoint the successor. James, driven by ambition, chose the Alpha position over me, a lowly Omega with a sick mother and no influence.

I stood alone with a champagne glass clutched in my hand, watching them dance in the ballroom. My heart shattered, just like my sorrowful inner wolf. James's fake smiles and betraying eyes were unbearable. I downed drink after drink as the world blurred around me.

Desperate to escape the hypocrisy, I staggered towards the door. But fate intervened cruelly. Near the steps, my ankle twisted and my heel snapped, as I fell. But I felt strong arms around me. I looked up into deep blue eyes, filled with tenderness and concern. A powerful male werewolf, his muscular frame giving off strength, far more than James.

'Miss, are you alright?' he asked. His eyes held secrets, his high nose and thin lips radiating authority.

'Sorry,' I replied, inwardly scolding myself for nearly losing composure. 'I'm fine, thank you.'

I tried to stand, but the pain in my ankle made me gasp. He held my shoulder firmly. 'Miss, your shoes are broken; you can't walk.' He pointed to the ruined heel.

'I…' Before I could speak, he scooped me into his arms and headed for a luxury car.

'What are you doing?!' I exclaimed, instinctively clinging to his neck.

He looked down, his eyes soft. 'Don't worry, I'm taking you home.'

His words calmed me, and I relaxed in his arms. In the car, he carefully removed my broken shoes, revealing my fair legs. The pain in my ankle intensified.

'Don't move, I'll help,' he murmured, his deep voice brushing my ear as he gently massaged my ankle. And comfort spread through me. I shivered, my muscles tensing. His touch was intimate, almost like a mate's, and I blushed, enjoying the sensation. Our eyes met, and my heart skipped a beat.

Time seemed to stop. Soon, the car pulled up to a luxurious villa.

'We're here,' he said softly.

'Where is this?' I asked.

He smiled. 'My villa. Don't worry, just follow me.'

His arms were warm and comforting, and I couldn't resist his mysterious scent. Inside, I glanced around at the exquisite decor, uneasiness creeping in. A business card on the coffee table caught my eye. 'Michael Edward Carter?!' I gasped. This was the legendary Alpha King, the most esteemed pureblood werewolf, controlling the wealth and resources of countless Lycan packs across North America, and James's uncle.

'You know me?' he asked, cupping my face.

'Of course,' I replied, my heart racing. 'Every werewolf knows your name.'

He smiled. 'It's an honor to be remembered by such a beautiful lady.'

I stared into his mesmerizing blue eyes, my heart fluttering. I felt an irresistible pull towards him. My body responded to his touch, and I embarrassingly found myself wanting more. As the alcohol took hold, I lost control, pulling him closer. His strong arms enveloped me, and his eyes burned with intensity. His lips crashed onto mine, invading my mouth. I responded eagerly, but the prickling sensation at the back of my neck only intensified. My inner wolf stirred anxiously, and I realized my connection to my mother had weakened. Just then, my phone rang. 'Hello, is this Miss Emily? Your mother's condition has worsened!'"

    The heaviness in my chest jolted me awake. Without a word, I fled, leaving Michael confused."Hey! Where are you going?" he called, reaching out, but I shook him off."Sorry! Urgent matter! I have to go!" I stammered, hailing a cab.At the hospital, a relieved nurse awaited me. "You finally made it! Your mother's treatment is suspended. We need payment to continue."I froze, an icy chill spread through me. James's cruelty was the root of this. Years ago, my mother had shielded him from a rogue pack's silver blade, leaving her heart wounded. Though she survived, her wolf fell into a deep slumber, her health deteriorating. James's financial aid had been our lifeline, but he had heartlessly cut it off."How much?" I asked, my voice was strained."One hundred thousand dollars per month," the nurse replied. "Without it, we can't guarantee her care."My head spun. The figure was utterly high. I sank onto the hospital corridor floor, planning to beg friends for help, work extra jobs; I'd find

    After leaving Michael’s office, I stumbled through the streets, lost and aimless, like a headless fly. The persistent ache seeped into my bones, chilling me to the core.A recruitment advertisement caught my eye: "Nightclub Dancer – High Pay Wanted."Though the job felt humiliating, I was past caring. My mother's life hung in the balance, and I would do anything to save her.With gritted teeth, I dialed the number.The interview was brief, and that very night, I found myself on stage.The nightclub throbbed with darkness and noise, the heavy bass of the music vibrating through me. Clad in a revealing dance outfit, I moved to the rhythm. The men in the crowd whistled, their eyes were greedy and offensive, following my every move.My stomach churned within me, but I forced myself to dance. The money was my only concern now.Then, I saw two familiar faces in the crowd.James and his friend.My heart clenched. I tried to avoid their gaze, but it was too late.James’s friend grinned malicio

    The room fell silent, everyone stunned by my declaration."My god, is she talking about the Alpha King of the North American Lycan Pack, Michael Edward Carter?""Impossible!""Michael, with his prestigious lineage? He wouldn't be interested in a weak Omega from our pack!""Thats not true Emily. It can't be true." James sneered.In his narrow world, a connection between me and an Alpha of Michael's stature was inconceivable. I must be fabricating the story."I...""Miss Emily, the Alpha King is waiting for you," a chauffeur suddenly appeared.I walked out of the nightclub under their surprised gazes and slid into the sleek black Bugatti parked outside. Michael, seated in the back, glanced at the lingering crowd and instructed the driver to depart."Miss Emily, what would you have done if I hadn't intervened today?"I fell silent, clutching the wad of cash, my head bowed."I... as long as I can secure the funds for my mother's medical bills, I'll do whatever it takes," my voice was a mer

    "You dare slap me?" James stammered, his hand pressed to his reddening cheek.I trembled with rage, my gaze was still locked on him."James, don't push this too far!" I warned.But emboldened by my reaction, he seized my wrist, "Hmph, who do you think you are? You're nothing but a lowly commoner!""You don't belong here! You're only here because you've been sleeping with men!"His words ignited murmurs around us.The guests, who had previously watched, now wore expressions of disdain."Ah, so that's the story. A shameless she-wolf, is she?""What a disgrace. How did someone like her even infiltrate this gathering?""Tsk, tsk, these young people..."Their venomous words were like sharp daggers, piercing my heart. I felt suffocated, but I clenched my teeth, biting my lip to suppress the tears.James, seeing my distress, smirked. "So, Emily, here's the deal: kneel and apologize, agree to be my mistress, and I'll let this slide. I'll even continue paying for your mother's medical bills.""

    The applause after my speech surged like a tidal wave. As I stepped off the stage, from admiring gazes, Michael offered a smile, and nodded. The banquet guests dispersing into small groups. Realizing the late hour, I decided to head home, planning to visit my mother the next day. Just as I reached the door, a figure blocked my path.It was James.The arrogance that once defined him were replaced by something calmer and more desperate."Emily, wait." His voice was soft, as if the self-assured man I knew had vanished.I looked at him coldly, offering no response."I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you like that." He lowered his head."The reason I acted that way was... because I like you. I want to keep you by my side.""Like me?" I scoffed. "Is this how you show affection—by hurting and insulting me?"He looked up."I know I made a mistake, Emily. Can we start over? Give me another chance?"His words were almost sincere. I stared at him, an unexplainable sadness stirring with

    The next day, I woke early to visit my mother.She looked at me with a face radiating love."I heard about your speech last night," she smiled, "My daughter, you’re truly amazing.""Thank you, Mom." I gripped her hand tightly.I knew, no matter what, she would always stand by me, supporting and encouraging me. Back at the office, I overheard colleagues talking, learning that James's reputation had crashed after the banquet.His disgraceful behavior reached his family, and his father had isolated him to his quarters in a rage. The Chief Elder's eldest daughter, his intended bride, had also cut ties. His dream of becoming Alpha leader seemed shattered. I hadn't expected James to fall so far. But it was his own doing; he had only himself to blame. Michael called me into his office. "James's family wants to invite us to their home," he said.
