Not our mate

Marcelo

Arriving back at the house, I was fuming because Zane, my wolf, insisted that we go back and claim her for ourselves.

He wanted to find a mate before and now he wants to claim the first woman he has no idea who she is.

“You are back already? 

What happened?” Connor asked, following me to the room, but I didn’t respond. I kicked the door open to the bedroom as I paced around the room.

My thoughts were all over the place. I wanted that woman. I wanted to feel her touch.

I wanted to know what she tastes like.

“What happened? Why are you fuming?” Connor asked me as I inhaled sharply, shaking my head. “When you met your mate, how was it like?” I asked him and he furrowed his eyebrows briefly before widening them.

“You found your mate? 

Is it Calliope? Shit!” He questioned me as I shook my head.

“No! I didn’t meet my mate,” I dismissed,

I would know when I find my mate and that woman wasn’t my mate. There was something off about her and I couldn’t figure it out.

“What happened? Is something going on?” He asked me as I shook my head in disbelief.

“There’s a woman I met earlier. I was meant to meet Calliope, but she didn’t show up. She had this aromatic scent. It drew me to her and when we were together, it was just…”

“Hard to resist?” He asked me and I nodded my head.

“Maybe she is your mate?” 

He said with a smirk on his face as I growled at him, my eyes darkening and he lifted his hands.

“Easy there, Zane. I was just asking, of course, you would know if she is your mate,” He said to me as I nodded my head. I agreed with this fool. He was right. I would know who my mate is.

“So, what are you going to do?” He asked me as I shook my head.

“I need to see her again, I just have to,” I said to him as he sighed heavily, walking over to me. “Are you sure? The last time that…” he wanted to say, but Zane growled at him, hating the fact that he had to remind us of that.

“Do you want me to find out who she is?” He asked me as I shook my head. It terrified me being disappointed once again. I wanted to make sure I was certain she feels the same way about me.

“No. don’t do anything. 

I want to find out who she is first,” I said to him and he raised his eyebrows. Walking towards me.

“Care to enlighten me on what you want to do?” He asked me as I sighed heavily. Looking at him as he shook his head, Connor knew me more than anyone else.

He has been my best friend ever since we were three and now he was my second in command in other packs. His what you would call Beta, but I don’t like labels.

“I will meet her again. Whoever she is. I will take her for myself, also don’t announce your arrival yet,” I stated, wanting to walk away.

“By the way, seems your good friend Jason arrived early this morning. Do you want me to keep tabs on him?” 

He asked me, making me stop in my tracks.

“Yes. Send a few men to stay close by the borders. If anything, I will give them my instructions,” I said, wanting to leave again.

“What about the rogues that we captured?” He asked me as I sighed heavily, looking at him. “Hang their heads on a spike,” I said, making my way out of the room.

I was going to wait for her in the forest outside the castle until I was able to pick her scent again. This time I shifted there because I didn’t want anyone to find my bike.

I grabbed a pair of clothes with me waiting for her in the trees. It was a bad idea shift, but it would get me there faster.

I waited the entire afternoon for her to show up, but she wasn’t coming. I was getting impatient with the fact that she might not come back here.

Night came and Zane just insisted that we go and look for her. ‘What if she is not coming’ he asked me

‘We have to wait until she comes,’ I replied, watching the castle. I sniffed the air, and her jasmine scent filled my nostrils. She was coming to the garden.

I climbed out of the tree, jumping down. I shifted back to my human form and grabbed the clothes I wore earlier, and made my way to the garden.

I climbed the wall again and made my way to the garden. I check out around if she was with anyone but she was alone. She seems to be aware of my presence here and wants to turn to leave.

‘She’s leaving,’ Zane announces, even though I can see that

“Are you stalking me?” she questioned, turning in the direction I was hiding. I walked towards her and she sighed heavily, looking at me.

 “Why are you sad?” I asked her, not wanting to answer her question because she looks sad

She bites her lower lip, running her fingers through her hair. I inhaled sharply, looking at her. It was driving me crazy. 

I want to taste her lips. 

I want to know what she tastes like.

 “Leave before I call the guards,” she cautioned, but I am not scared of anything. I want to know why she is sad.

“Why won’t he just leave? What did I do?” she asks me again, taking steps back as I walk towards her. She hits her back against a tree and I am looking into her eyes. She looks sad..

My lips curved into a smirk as she shook her head, as if it conflicted her. I know her wolf wants us. It also desires us.

I placed my hands on the tree, trapping her between my hands and so close to my chest. She smells divine.

I brought my right hand to her cheek, slowly caressing her cheek.

 A soft moan escapes her lips when I touch her, and she brings her hand to cover her mouth. What kind of effect do I have on her?

 “You are beautiful,” the words roll off my lips and I can hear her heart racing fast when she hears that.

“Please don’t,” she whispers to me, slightly closing her eyes.

My eyes narrowed as I moved back, looking at her, wondering what was happening. I leaned in, my hand going to her waist.

My fingers slipped against the fabric of her dress, lifting her leg and wrapping it around my waist.

She doesn’t protest but locks her eyes with mine; it filled her eyes with so much lust. She wants this from me.

My hand lips under her dress, my hand brushes against her bare skin, moving my hand up the thigh and Zane growls as I let out a deep growl when my hand touches the hem of her panties.

She looks into my eyes, swallowing hard, and doesn’t say anything to me. She looks deep into my eyes.

I want to kiss her. She has green eyes that draw me to her. I wanted to slip my hand under her pant; I want to feel the warmth in between her two folds.

 “No!” She pushed me away from her and I don’t protest, looking at her as she swallows hard

I let out a deep growl, tilting my head, wondering what changed so suddenly. She didn’t want us anymore? She didn’t want to feel my touch.

“You had better leave. Someone is coming,” she said to me as I furrowed my eyebrows, not saying anything to her. She was ready to get rid of me. So quickly?

“You need to leave now,” she insisted, looking around with a worried look on her face. I closed my eyes and I could hear footsteps.

“Please,” she said, more like a plea a

“Can I see you again??” 

I asked her, and she looked around, panicking all of a sudden. Was it her alpha or Luna?  

She walks towards the door, turning to me, but Zane insists we should take her with us. But if I can see her again, then I have no problem. “Fine! I will see you again. Please go,” she pleads. Zane hates how she sounds desperate.

I nod my head, walking towards her. I brought my hand to her cheek, gently caressing it and she seems to have calmed down after I touched her.

 When I saw she had calmed down, I vanished through the flowers, but I want to know who she is and why she was so scared. She looks around briefly but I go to stand at a distance, wanting to know who is there.

“You wanted to see me?” 

She casually asks whoever she is talking to. 

 “Who were you with?” The deep voice questioned her. Who’s the man talking to her like that?

“No one. I just bump into someone out there.” She lied, and a smile curved up on my lips.

“A man?” He asked,

“No. What does it matter? 

I am not telling you anything.” 

She said, and I heard her footsteps fade as I clenched my jaws. Who was she talking to? Who was he, the she who had the guts to even question her who she was with>?
