Chapter 203 Xavier

• I think a small part of me hoped that finding my mate may be a smoother path than that of my parents. Than that of my aunts and uncles too. It seemed fate had certainly put obstacles in their way. Yet, each one of them would say that the obstacles were merely there to make them appreciate what they had. But, it did not stop me believing that maybe the next generation maybe that little luckier with their destiny. Some had been blessed with an easier path, others, sadly not. It seemed fate liked to have a twisted plan all of her own. One we were not to learn of until it was our time. And, hope as I may, I did not know if it would make any difference to the plan fate had for me, but I had hoped all the same...
• However, as I looked at the confused expression of my fated mate’s face, I was beginning to question that the younger generation would be blessed with more luck. Yet, I had found myself smiling, as I added “This where you tell me to piss off?” Before offering her a beer bottle. She accepted the beer which I considered a good thing, for I hoped it may mean she would keep me company for a little while. Anything to give me more time with the girl I had now discovered was my fated. I wanted to get to know her, despite the uncertainty within her eyes.
• But as she took the beer, her hand shot away from me as if she was burned from the contact, while the tingle from the matebond slithered through my body deliciously. Damn, that felt good. I wanted to touch her over and over, to feel that again. I looked across at her, and she looked right back at me, but all I saw was confusion upon her face. A look I truly did not want to see considering my question to her.
