Chapter 12

  • Ashira's POV
  • Just before I was feeling pity over Ava, now I feel agitated. Angry. Almost frustrated. I cannot live another year being afraid that danger might find me! I need my damn mate now!
  • I need my wolf to know where she belongs so I won't be stolen! I don't want to be stolen!
  • "Ohh... I guess your mate's not here too, River girl." Nick said with a pitying voice. That's my cue to step out of there and walked to where Ava is.
  • "Sucked, huh?" I said to Ava. Not looking at her, just hearing her sobs and heavy sighs. I'm far from crying, I am furious.
  • I needed to find my mate and for all times, he figured to be away now or even dead!
  • "I hoped for him." Ava cried once again. Hard sobs now, trying to control and make a loud sound.
  • I sighed. If only I can tell him how blessed she is still then I am.
  • "Don't worry. You'll find him soon."
  • "That depends," she cried again, now sounding a bit childish. "If he does not die before that time comes!"
  • I chose to be silent. She has a point but for me, if her mate will be dead soon or even now, she's lucky she hasn't met him. Or else she won't survive that blow.
  • Having the mate bond is like being gifted with another life, another wave of feelings and happiness. Losing them, it's better to be dead.
  • "Excuse me. Those who didn't find their mates tonight may go back to the guesthouse or enjoy the rest of the party." A She-Wolf attends to us and gave an apologetic smile before turning her back on us.
  • We're five in counts, all failed to meet our mate tonight.
  • "I'll stay." One said.
  • "Me, too. Might as well enjoy the night."
  • Ava wiped her tears and crinkle her nose. "I'll enjoy this then." She said.
  • I smiled at her slowly building confidence again.
  • "Their Alpha is not around, right? I didn't see him." One girl noticed.
  • Not only do I notice it, even them. I'm thinking of how irresponsible the Alpha is for running away and leaving tradition like this.
  • "Yeah. I'll wait for him, maybe he's mine!" One girl chirped and I can't help but raise my brows. It's not wrong, what she says. But if they already knew the Alpha left his responsibility, then why dream of having a mate like that?
  • Every girl with me scattered and start doing what they want to do. They eat or get a drink or dance with their shemales. Ava also stand on her feet and asked me if I'll like to eat. I humbly denied, feeling far from hungry.
  • Ava went to the food table and take her time thinking about what she should have.
  • I felt someone tap me on my shoulders. I turn around and saw Nick's beaming smile.
  • "Oh, hey," I said smiling back at him.
  • "Someone's broken-hearted." He teased. I rolled my eyes at him, my smiles fading fast. He became too friendly with me though he just met me earlier.
  • I wonder if he's just warm to people or is it my 'stealer' magnetizing male wolves.
  • "Shut up." I snorted and lightly punched his arm. That's so unladylike to do now while wearing all this make-up and dress.
  • He laughed, amused by my misery.
  • "You got issues," I said, my lips flat. Seriously?
  • Well, if I'm like the rest of the She-Wolves tonight, then failing to have my mate is just meh. But I'm in the matter of life and death. Not literally but yeah, death.
  • He laughed again. I rolled my eyes and looked around. We're attracting audiences because of his noise. I scowled at him and widened my eyes, making him stop laughing.
  • "Sorry. Nobody spoke to me that way, a female, I mean."
  • "You're being too friendly with me." I raised one brow as I said that. In my pack, no one except Lucy wants to be around me. And his action now makes me question it.
  • "I am? Well, you're not hard to be with." He shrugged. "What are your plans now that you're broken?" He grinned playfully. I rolled my eyes again decided to ignore his teasing.
  • "I'll probably go back to the guesthouse. I'm not a party person."
  • He grunts probably hates my plan.
  • "You'll waste the evening that way. Come, dance with me." He offered his hand and I just looked at it. He seems nice, Nick. But not my type.
  • "You're not my type," I said, ignoring his hand. He laughed hard at my words.
  • "And now you're being hard to be with. Come, I'm not into you either." He said half-laughing making my brows raise.
  • He then sighed and snatched my hand, pulling me on the dance floor. Soft music was played, perfect for slow dancing.
  • He snaked his arms on my waist, pulling me closer to his body. I rolled my eyes again, feeling uncomfortable with all the eyes lingering at us.
  • "How does it feel to dance with the Beta?" He playfully said, full of his self-confidence again.
  • "My Dad is a Beta. You do not affect me at all." I grinned when his face got knotted, hating how I destroy his confidence easily.
  • "Not from the strongest pack though." He grinned. I just laughed at how he tried to pull himself up again. I didn't argue with him at that one. He's probably stronger than Eric and Cruz.
  • "What's your name by the way?"
  • "I'm surprised you'd ask." I laughed. He has got angry with me, whined at me, joked around me, and told me a secret yet he hasn't asked my name but now.
  • He chuckled. "I forgot to."
  • "Ashira," I said, smiling.
  • "You look good toni—"
  • His words were cut off when a loud growl from upstairs took everyone's attention. From the sound of it, it was from someone powerful. Powerful enough to make everyone's tail tucked and shaking. I got scared too only a slightness, my wolf is too confident right now that I seem to be less affected by it.
  • We looked up but before we could see who's up there, a man fell on his feet in front of us. Making a perfect dismount. I watched as he bent his knees to support his weight from the impact.
  • I was welcomed by a pair of deep red eyes, my senses getting all flared up. He's an Alpha. My Alpha!
  • "Mate!" My wolf joyed! I want to be relieved as well but his anger starts cowering on me. I can feel myself shaking.
