My mate

Zara.

I walked nervously into the Alpha's chember; Savik was at the high table next to the members of the Edwood pack, and the Regans were sitting opposite; a long table separated the two packs. I went straight to their table and began placing the drinks. I tried to avoid looking in Vulvan's direction.

"Give us half of your territory, and we will meet your demands," one of the Edwood pack members stated. This request sparked serious disagreements between the two packs as they discussed their oppinoun. I quietly moved on to the next table.

"Your women sure look beautiful, though; I would not mind having one for myself." The Regan I was serving looked at me in a lustful way. His gaze made me feel uncomfortable, and his remarks drew attention to me.

"Yes, they are. seen anyone, you li....."

"I believe we were here to discuss important matters, not your women." Vulvan cut Savik off, his eyes flashing with rage met mine, as if he was staring into my soul; and my heart was pounding. I am not sure why, but it worried me that I was the source of his rage. The room was dead silent; if a pin fell, you would hear it; it was clear they were all afraid of him. His dominance demonstrated how different he was from other Alphas.

No one said anything after Vulvan's outburst; Savik appeared angry at being cut off, and I knew he was not going to let that go.

After a while, their conversation began, and I stood in the corner of the room in case they needed me; I was the only one allowed inside; the other girls were barred from participating because the discussion was private, and I, as the outcast of the pack, had some advantages. I was just observing Vulvan the entire time; he did not say anything and simply listened to what others said. My wolf was losing it; she had never reacted to anyone like this before, and for some strange reason, I wanted to smell him; his sent was what I craved, so I walked up to his table, intending to pour him a drink, and as I got closer, his sent filled my nose.

He tilted his head and met my gaze.Those eyes were so mesmarizing that i looked at him like a lost puppy looking for its owner. I could sworn he had said something, but i was in my own world. Every nose was muted, only my heartbeat and the unsettling feeling occurring inside me I could hear.

"Zara,Zara!!" I heard Savik called out angrily. his tone brought me out from my trans.My eyes widened as I looked down at Vulvan's pants

"Oh, I'm...I am so sorry," I said, so distracted that I did not notice his cup was full and spilt on his pants. Everyone was quietly wondering what was going on, and my disorganized state was not helping as I searched for a way to clean his stained pants. I reached for the napkin on the table, but his next words stopped me.

"Take me to the restroom," he said, interrupting what I was about to do. I gave a nod.

"This way," I said, with a faint smile.

He followed me as I led the way to the restroom; I could feel his gaze on me, which made me feel anxious. We came across a room that had been vacated for a guest.I stopped walking halfway to wait for him to enter, but he remained motionless.

"Here is the restroom; sorry, I meant to say a room with a bathroom; you must enter to get to the bathroom." Why was I explaining? Of course, he is aware of all this. I sounded like a child trying to get her words straight, and I scolded myself in my mind because I was pretty sure I sounded stupid to him right now.

He chuckled at my behaviour and then turned the doorknob before I could understand what was going on. He dragged me in, shut the door behind me, and pushed me against the wall, pining me with his body. I was still taken aback by his unexpected action, his face inches away from mine, his masculine sent became stronger, and his breath tingled my skin, sending shivers down my spine.

His desperate eyes locked on mine, as if searching for the truth.He grabbed a strand of my hair and sniffed it as if his life depended on it.

"Is this a joke?" How can you be my mate?" he sniffed my hair again. My eyes widened as he said MATE? How was this possible? Vulvan is my mate, but he is a Regan. His nose trialled down my neck, I stiffened slightly, He noticed my discomfort but didn't pulled back. His eyes burned with a desperate longing as they were fixed on my neck, He seemed to be fighting the urge to give in to his desire, and then he looked away, giving me back my personal space. My warmed body felt cold again.

He regained his composure and spoke with a calm but serious tone."It turns out you are my mate, and you are not going to tell anyone about this, understand? I nodded sadly, feeling a lump in my throat.

He frowned his eyebrow. "Words, Zara, I need your words."

"Yes, yes, I won't tell anyone,"

"Good," he responded.

he noticed my fidgeting. " Do you have any questions?" he asked. I only had one question in mind, but I was not sure how he would react, so I would ask anyway because I did not know when I would see him again.

"Will you be back for me?" His expression changed to one of intense contemplation.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his jaw clenched as he considered his response.

"I don't know," he said finally, his voice low and measured. "Our packs don't get along, and being mates... it's complicated."

I felt a pang of sadness and fear, my heart sinking at his words.

Vulvan's eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a flicker of something there - maybe regret, maybe longing.

He turned to leave, but not before giving me a piercing look.

As he walked out the door, I felt a chill run down my spine. His words echoed in my mind: "Our packs don't get along...).

I shuddered at the thought of Savik's reaction if he found out Vulvan was my mate. Fear gripped my heart, making it hard to breathe.
