Chapter 6

• I watched him play and I couldn’t help but smile because of the fact that he’s my mate. He rejected me and that’s the most hurtful truth but the moon goddess made him my mate. I let out a deep sigh and buried my face against my palms. I don’t know how to stay away from him like he said. The pain I felt because of his rejection is still inside of my heart and it hurts me again and again. Maybe I won’t be able to recover from that pain in this lifetime.
• Damen kept looking at me for the whole game and I don’t know why he was like that, looking at me with love and care filled eyes. I can’t tell what’s going on in his mind and what his real feelings are.
• Finally our college won the match. As soon as the match finished, those cheer girls who were dancing ran into the ground. I watched them for a while and my heart tightened as I witnessed the cheerleader in our school hug Damen. I immediately stood up from the seat and turned to leave because I didn’t want to get hurt. Tears filled my eyes. I know that we are not related to each other anymore but it really hurts to see my mate with another girl.
• Suddenly, my ears were pierced by a loud and angry growl. I subconsciously turned back and looked at Damen who was showing his sharp teeth with murderous eyes. Then my eyes fell on the girl who had fallen on the ground and was shivering from fear. I was shocked as I saw the scene, did Damen growl at her? Suddenly I felt happy because she didn’t have to hug Damen. Maybe Damen got angry because she touched him.
• Soon after his eyes fell on me, then the murderous look on his eyes faded and was replaced with the same lovely eyes. I bit my lower lip and looked away from him because I shouldn’t get too attached to him. If I did that I will be the only one who will suffer till the day I die. I walked out of the ground.
• “Served her right. She still couldn’t get Damen’s attention and I bet she won’t try to climb on to his bed anymore after today” What? Climb onto his bed?
• “What? What did you mean?” I asked Erica, she let out a deep sigh and looked at me with a disappointed look.
• “Don’t you know that Haley likes him? She had her eyes on him for a long time. I heard that she tried to seduce him more than once but Damen never showed interest in her” My heartbeat quickened as I heard her words. Haley was just so beautiful, Damen really didn’t like her? I was really shocked because so many boys are going after her. Just don’t think too much about it, Asteria because he doesn’t like you either. I spoke to myself and sighed. I really don’t want to get hurt.
• Erica and I entered the food criteria for the lunch. After lunch I had to attend my literature class so I took out my book and started to read today's lesson. I couldn’t read it yesterday because of everything that happened.
• “I’ve told you don’t read books while eating” I heard Erica’s warning, I sighed and smiled as I looked at her but what caught my attention was Damen who was standing at the criteria’s door. He was looking at me, he watched me for a while then turned and left. What’s wrong with him? Why is he looking at me like this?
• My heart was covered with bad feelings because of him. I have no idea what’s the reason for his actions, looking at me for a while and then walking away as if I was poison to him. I again looked at my book and my vision turned blurred because of tears. I didn’t know how to face his strange actions. He rejected me but why is he acting as if he needs me? He always looks at me with love filled eyes but within a second he changes himself and walks away.
• “Asteria?” I was pulled back from my thoughts by Erica’s voice. I looked at her and smiled, her eyes turned into worried eyes as she looked at me.
• “Don’t think about anything, just focus on your work” She smiled at me and said, I bet she felt why I’m worried. I nodded at her and looked at my food plate but I didn’t find myself wanting to continue my food. I let out a deep sigh and got up from the chair.
• “Erica, I’m going to my class, you have science now right?” She nodded at me.
• “Let’s meet after this period” I said as he took a mouthful of food and nodded at me with a cute expression. I smiled and walked out of the criteria. As soon as I came out of the criteria I saw Damen who was leaning against the wall of the criteria. I gasped as I saw him. He was still wearing his football outfit.
• Why is he still here? Hundreds of questions surged into my mind and I didn’t know what to do. I took a deep breath and decided to walk past him without making any trouble for him. I looked down and walked past him but my hand was grabbed by him. What is he doing? I turned my head and looked up at him as I saw he was already looking at me with dangerous eyes.
• “Come..” With one word, Damen dragged me into the boys washroom.
• “Let go..” I tried to break free from his grip but I was just too weak for that. Damen entered the changing room and pushed me against the wall as he locked the door of the room.
• “Didn’t I ask you to stay away?” He grabbed my chin and made me look at him, what’s wrong with him again? I didn’t do anything wrong.
• “Let me go please, I have a class now” I tried to remove his hand from my face but I gained an angry growl from him as a result.
• “If you have a class why did you come there?” He asked me, Why? Why can’t I go there?
• “Can’t I do what I like? Future Alpha” I looked into his eyes and asked, his words made me angry. I saw the way his eyes changed and were covered with hurt looks but within a second his eyes again turned into the same dangerous eyes he had before.
• “You can do anything you like but don’t let me see you” He gritted his teeth and said, his words stabbed straight into my heart and subconsciously tears filled my eyes. Why is he just so heartless?
• “Why do you hate me? I never did anything wrong to you” I couldn’t hold back my tears and my broken voice, I didn’t know why he’s doing this while knowing this would destroy both of us.
• “You did Asteria, you didn’t have to be my mate” A suffocating feeling spread through my heart and I clutched my dress tightly. I’ve never gotten hurt like this, and never expected my own mate would hurt me like this.
• “It wasn’t my choice” I didn’t want to hurt myself more by arguing with him but I just didn’t want to stay without defending myself because I’ve never done anything wrong.
• “Yes, it wasn’t your choice” Damen looked away from my eyes and looked down, his hands began to tremble suddenly and he just covered his face with his palms and let out a low growl. What’s wrong with him?
• “What.. What's wrong with you?” I found myself scared, I didn’t know what was wrong with him but I just didn’t want anything to happen to him.
• “Why? You care about me?” Damen looked at me and asked, I waited for a while and wiped my tears.
• “Yes” I nodded at him as he clenched his jaws. How can I stay without caring about my mate? And if I didn’t care about my mate, who should I care about?
• “Even if you rejected me for nothing, I care about you” I simply smiled at him and said, it was the truth and I always care about him.
• “Don’t.. Don’t do that..” he said with a strange face,
• “I won’t do it if I get a chance to have a second mate”
