CHAPTER TWO

It is the middle of the night. I feel a sharp pain in my stomach which makes me scream. I almost immediately feel a warm hand on mine, and I know it’s my mom. I really did not want to wake her.

“Mum…..mum…..”. I try telling her what’s wrong with me in between sobs, but it is excruciating. The pain reduces for a moment and then I feel it again, this time more intense.”.I scream as I hold on tightly to my mom’s hand.

I finally find my voice. “Please do something, it hurts.”

“I am sorry baby, I can’t.”, she says with a forlorn look in her eyes as she runs her hands through my hair- she does that to calm me down.

“What is happening, mom?”. I ask, sniffing.

“Your supposed mate is having sex.”, she clarifies.

“What can I do? This pain is unbearable.”, I say as more tears escape my eyes.

“You have to accept his rejection, honey.”

I cry harder this time, not because of the pain, but because I know I am going to be without a mate all my life, I am going to feel the exact pain my mother felt when my dad rejected her. I don’t want to live the rest of my life mateless, without acceptance from anyone.

*********************************

I wake up the next morning and have my bath. While bathing, my skin feels rough. I look down, wanting to know what is wrong. I can’t help the look of horror on my face when I see the reason for the sudden roughness of my skin.

Marks. Fucking marks.

Where did they emanate from?

I promptly decide not to ask my mom. I don’t want her worrying more about me than she already is.

I brush aside my thoughts and put my clothes on. I wear a black turtle-neck top and a pair of black jeans. I don’t see the need to look good, since I don’t have a mate, not even a boyfriend, to impress. I pack my long, blonde hair into a rough bun and carry my bag. I run down the stairs n a bid to get to school early, but I am instead stopped by my mom.

“Honey, breakfast”, she says calmly.

Aarrrrrghhhh!

“Okay, Fine.”, I roll my eyes, take a seat at the dining table and begin to eat my toast silently.

“Honey, how are you feeling? , did you notice any…….” , she trails off, afraid to ask. That means she knows about my marks.

“No, mum. I am fine.”

 She gives me a sad look.

“See, mom, I am fine okay? I promise.”, I try my best to smile.

“Okay, honey. I love you, bye.”, my mum replies, and I ride my bike to school.

**********************

“Morning, how is my best friend doing?”, Sheldon asks, and I laugh.

“I am fine guys, really.”, I reply, hitching my bike up higher on one shoulder.

Kieran gives me a questioning look, and asks “Are you sure?”.He looks back and I follow his gaze.

The hurt, anger, betrayal, and pain I feel on seeing Jordan and Daisy together is inexplicable. I just don’t know what to do. I turn back to my friends.

“So, guys… who is up for the park after school?”. I ask, and they all smile sadly at me.

“Guys, I am fine, okay? let’s go.”.

We all go to our classes.

Anonymous POV

“Kim, I really want you to leave now”. I try to say calmly.

I have lived for years without my mate, which means I can survive if eventually, I don’t find her at all. Kim is just someone I have sex with. No strings attached, but I guess she is having none of such. Why do girls have to attach great importance to relationships?

“But, baby……..”, she tries saying, caressing me. I feel really disgusted at this point.

“Kim. Leave. Now”. I pick my words carefully and I see her flinch.

“Fine,”. She scoffs and leaves my office.

My parents even want me to get married to her. Everyone has lost the hope of me finding my mate, but of course, she is the only one who can bring me happiness.

“Excuse me, sir?”. That is my personal assistant, and he is also my best friend.

“Come in.”, I reply lightly.

“We have to travel to Were High School tomorrow.”, says Carson.

“Why?”. I ask.

“Man, you shouldn’t be asking. When was the last time you visited the school?. It is your responsibility, you know?. He pens down some things in the notebook he is holding and looks down at me, waiting for an answer.

“Fine. We’ll pay them a visit tomorrow. Notify them of my arrival.”

“You know, people are right.”, Carson says.

I already know what he is insinuating.

Not again!

“About?”  I question.

“You snap at people a lot and it has to do with you not having a mate. People are concerned”. Carson informs me.

“I’m tired of this conversation, Carson. If you want to badger me about marrying someone who is not my mate, count me out. See you tomorrow, Carson.”.

I walk out of the office, leaving him standing there, and I leave the building.

What is it with everybody asking me to get mated to just anyone?

    CHAPTER THREE “All students should gather,” Our principal announces. My friends and I get to the hall quite early. A few minutes later, students fill the hall, and the principal stands in front of us, on an elevated platform. “Good morning students,” He says. “Morning.” Only a few students reply, but he doesn’t seem to mind. “Don Richardo will be coming to our school tomorrow, so you all should behave yourselves,” he states. “Yes sir!”, we all chant, understanding how serious this is. From what I hear, Don Richard is very rich, powerful, and cruel. It is rumored that he hasn’t found his Erasthai. “You may all leave now.”, the principal says, and we all stand up and leave the hall. Immediately, voices fill the air.“I heard he is hot,” Sheldon whispers, and her mate gives her a look, and we all laugh.“I love you more, baby,” she says as she kisses him, and earns herself a smi

    CHAPTER FOUR I wake up feeling less sorry for myself. I do not know why I am smiling. My stomach rumbles rather loudly. I put on one of my tight black high-waist jeans, a yellow crop top, and I decide to let my hair down. I smile at my reflection in the mirror, and I run downstairs to meet my mum. “I am so hungry,” I whine as I approach the dining table. “Good morning to you too”, my mom teases, smiling. “Someone is happy today”. “Yes”, I say, and she dishes my breakfast. I thank her and don’t waste time digging into my food. I finish up, kiss her, and leave for school. When I get to school, I see Jordan and try as much as possible to ignore him. I haven’t accepted his rejection yet, but my mom says I have got to. “Students, move to the hall”, I hear the principal’s voice, and all students walk briskly into the hall. Nobody wants to disobey someone li

    CHAPTER FIVE The ride to wherever he is taking me is long, or maybe the fact that I am scared makes it look like hours. I do not even move, because I do not want to make him get mad at me. The car suddenly pulls to a stop, and I remain still, unsure of what to do. I know he is my mate, but since he has not said anything yet, I don’t want to push it. If he doesn’t want me, he would have by now, rejected me. “Get down,” he says, and I clumsily alight from the vehicle, and I follow him. As we walk into the mansion, everyone bows as a sign of respect. I am not surprised, as he is Don Richardo after all, feared by all for his power. “Claire,” he calls, and a young girl, most likely my age, comes running and bows her head. “Yes, Master” He points at me. “Make her look presentable as my mate”, he says, and leaves, without giving me as much as a passing glance. I don’t mind,

    CHAPTER SIX I strip off my clothes and wrap a towel around myself. I go to the bathroom to shower. If I am just an object to my mate, the least I can do is look and smell nice, and not embarrass him. When I am done cleaning up, I realize I do not have clothes to wear. After contemplating for a moment, I decide to check Don’s closet. I pick one of his shirts, black and mid-thigh length, and put it on. I let my hair down, and I sit on the bed, waiting patiently for his next instructions. After hours of waiting, I hear a knock on the door. “Excuse me, Luna,” the person says. “Come in” I reply, and a maid walks in. “The Alpha requests your presence at the dining table” she informs me and disappears as quickly as she appeared. She, however, leaves a blue dress on the bed. I wear the long dress and attempt to style my hair. I apply some lipstick from a container I see on the dresser. I really don’t know how it gets there, and I am n

    CHAPTER SEVEN “I am sorry, Nala” he whispers, and I am shocked that he is apologizing. I smile, as I am happy he is doing this. I suddenly feel like I can finally be happy. Don leans forward to kiss me. His soft lips meet mine, and I smile against him. He moves his hand to my shoulder, deepening the kiss. His hands find their way to my back as he caresses me gently, never breaking the kiss. A moan escapes my mouth as he trails kisses down my neck.

    CHAPTER EIGHT I wake up and get dressed as quickly as possible. Dread fills me as I think about meeting Don. I am still terrified of him. Being his mate, I am supposed to keep his anger at bay, but I guess I have the opposite effect. I put on a jumpsuit, and plait my hair into a ponytail. I check my bag for the locket, it is still there. I slide my bag over my shoulder and walk downstairs. “Morning” I announce. No one replies. I am wondering why they aren’t chattering away as usual. “Morning,” I hear Don’s deep voice, and I shiver. How did I miss him? “Morning” I repeat, and I sit down at the table. “Breakfast?” Claire asks me, and I reply with a tight smile and an affirmative nod. Claire walks away, her usual smile not visible on her face. Don sure knows how to make everybody around him miserable. Claire returns with steamy, buttered pancakes. “Thank you, Claire. I love pancakes” I start to pile the food in my mouth.

    CHAPTER NINE I dress in a baggy top and jeans. I decide to wear my hair down today. Fortunately for me, Don does not make an appearance; so to say I am happy is an understatement. I am elated. I eat breakfast conveniently and put on my locket before I head off to school. Surprisingly, I meet Jordan on my way to class. “Morning, Nala,” he greets, and I grin from ear to ear. “Morning, Jordan” “I see you love the locket” I nod in affirmation and glaze my fingertips across the necklace. He seems pleased with my answer. “How about we skip school, and talk?” Jordan grins mischievously, and I giggle. “Okay,” I say. Who needs school anyway? We quickly exit the school building, settling down at our secret spot. When we were still dating, we always came here anytime we wanted to skip classes. I throw my arms around him as soon as we sit. “I know something is wrong, Nala” he whispers, returning the

    CHAPTER TEN My Lycan hasn’t been at rest since I met Nala. The temptation to mark her is high, but she is still so young. I am scared I am going to hurt her. She is extremely fragile and cries almost every day. “Oh, Don” I hear her moan beside me. What the fuck is she dreaming about? I smile at how beautiful she looks. She might have the character of a child, but her body says otherwise. I don’t care about what she is thinking as long as it involves me. I am waiting for the perfect time to talk to her about us and any other necessary information. I enter the bathroom and shower with the cold water, hoping it helps with the sudden bulge in my pants. Fresh out of the shower, I dress in a fine suit, go down the stairs to get things done before she wakes up. I receive a call from Carson. “Don, I just got some information” “What is it, Carson?” I ask impatiently. “You will want to hear this in person,” Carson states

    I am Luna, a cursed Lycan. The sins of my grandfather brought this curse upon me. According to the witches, nothing can break this curse. The witch who placed the curse is dead and now we make sacrifices every full moon to her to beg her. This sacrifice started when I was fourteen and now I'm nineteen. I guess six years isn't enough for her broken heart. If you asked me I'd say she was being cruel. I mean six years of living in hell aren't enough for her to let me go and let me be?."What are you thinking of Luna?" Alarie asked with a sad smile. One of the reasons I hate this curse, everyone thinks because I'm bound to the moon I can't function well. I mean when I change and lose myself for over three hours and after that I'm fine. Over the years the pain of shifting has lessened. Tomorrow is another full moon and that's why my brother is being so sad and pitiful towards me." My mate. Do you think if I find him the curse will stop?" I asked. I've always thought of it.

"You said that five minutes ago," His sister Luna says as she hugs me. I ruffled her hair a bit before combing it with my hand again. "Shut it cam!" He glares at her as he came down the stairs. He looks so much like his father, Donald. I thought my firstborn and also my son is going to take their father's anger but surprisingly no. Luna's anger is almost as bad as Don's. "Why don't you say that to June" She teases. She knows that was going to get him mad. Well, he likes June and thinks she's his mate even though he isn't old enough to know his mate. He's just sixteen. "Mum!" He said angrily and I just laugh. "You shouldn't let these ladies get under your skin you know" The man who I'm s

This sacrifice is the first real thing I have ever done for Donald and he deserves the world. This so-called cruel man has changed me and turned my entire life around. I love Donald so much. "Babe, what are you thinking so deeply about?" He turns looking at me in confusion. I smile. "I'm thinking of different ways in which I can take you" I whisper in his ears seductively. My moves affect him much as it affects me too. His sharp breath intake confirms it. "Baby you're really tired and I think you need to rest," He says huskily. How can he deny himself so much pleasure because he thinks I'm tired? "We

"It will be so weird walking around with the changes" I sigh as I sit on the bed with my hands in my hair. "You don't have to leave the house for now until you're fine with the changes" He suggests. "My graduation is in a few days, Don. My clothes don't even fit anymore!" I say in frustration. "The changes are bound to happen Nala you can't change it," He says. "Why?" I a
