Rhoyda’s p. o. v
I quickly walked into my room with a rapid beating heart. My wolf was saying the same word over and over again in my head. The word that I had feared and avoided my whole life.
“Mate.”
“No Kiara, we can’t have him as our mate. That old beta can’t be our mate.” I said through gritted teeth and sat down on the bed.
“We need him. And he is our mate.” She growled loudly at me.
“Shut up.” I whispered with trembling hands, his scent was everywhere slowly intoxicating me.
“His our mate, even if you deny it.” She growled.
“Can you please stop talking, we can’t be mated to an old man!” I yelled at her silently then stood up and walked back and forth.
Rejecting him was not a bad idea, it would hurt like a bitch and put the both of us in miserable pain. But by the end of everything, I would be free without feeling any sort of remorse.
“You won’t reject our mate. I won’t let you.” She warned.
A knock on my door made me halt my movements.
“Don’t break my damn door!” I said on top of my voice then opened it.
Jason looked at me angrily and I didn’t care at all.
“Where were you at that time I left our country. No, the right question is, with whom were you with?” He asked.
Shit, how the hell did he know that I was somewhere else. It was obvious who the damn snitch was. I bite my lower lip then looked away.
“All this time I had thought you were safe back home with Ken!” He exclaimed.
Ken!. Why the hell was the old man ruining my perfect life. I had always been on good terms with Jason but now he looked furious with me.
“What is it with you, I’m a grown-up woman now. It doesn’t matter who I was with or who I was fucking!” I yelled on top of my voice.
There was just no way I was going to tell him the truth about why I had run away from Ken.
He grabbed my hand and growled at me. I was about to yell at him when I picked up my mate’s amazing scent which was growing stronger by each passing second.
“Let her go.” He commanded behind us.
I turned with Jason and looked at him, his eyes were a golden yellow. His wolf had finally resurfaced and it made Kiara purr in joy over the dominant male who was willing to fight for us. I inhaled his scent deeply and breathed it out. His scent was that of my favorite things. Books mixed with roses. It was hard not to look at him in a sexual way and so I did. His eyes were fixed on Jason’s hand on mine.
It wasn’t the first time seeing such an angry look on ken because that’s the same look he had whenever boys in our neighborhood hit on me when I was living with him.
“You have no right to command your alpha.” Jason said loudly then growled at him. His growl was full of dominance that it made Ken lower his gaze for a second. If I wasn’t an alpha, I too could have submitted.
Ken looked at me and I knew what he was about to do and say. I didn’t want Jason to know that we were mates. If he did then a lot of things would change between us. I gave ken a pleading look, begging him to keep quiet and spare me.
Jason tightened his grip on my hand hurting me. I shifted then cried out in pain. His gripe was killing me.
Ken growled at him but this time his eyes were back to normal. He put his hands together in a pleading gesture.
“Please let her go alpha.” He begged.
“No ken, please don’t tell him that we are mates.” I begged through our mind link.
“Why, she’s my sister.” He answered.
“And she’s my mate!” He screamed on top of his voice instantly shocking him.
“What the fuck did you just say?” Jason asked.
“He said to think of your mate if she finds us in such a situation. You will scare the poor girl.” I whispered in a laboured breath.
“I know what I have heard Rhoyda, and he didn’t say that.” Jason said loudly.
“Please Alpha she really is my mate.” He said loudly.
Jason dropped his hand and turned to look at me.
I quickly faced the other side to avoid his gaze.
“Ken, how long have you known about this?” He asked.
“It’s now been years.” He answered respectively.
“And you Rhoyda?” He asked.
“I didn’t know, I only discovered it today.” I answered honestly.
“So you knew all this time and you kept it to yourself, why?” Jason asked ken seriously.
“Because I didn’t want to put pressure on her. Look Alpha, now that you have a mate, you probably know how hard it is to hold back. Everytime you look at your beautiful mate you can’t help but want to hold her, kiss her, make love to her and mark her. Each and everyday I had to go through the same feeling, but sadly my mate was young to even feel the mate pull. I became possessive over her and the neighbors found it creepy because they were mostly human who couldn’t understand our kind. I was so clingy to her that I made her uncomfortable to the point of running away. Any normal dominant Werewolf would go crazy looking for their mate, but I decided to let her be and lock my wolf up. She needed to make her own decisions and live her own life. Years went by and I couldn’t forget about her, so I prayed to the moon goddess to give me a second chance mate who would love me for me and be at least my age. Well, it never happened and I didn’t expect to meet my mate here. Immediately I had walked in I picked up her beautiful intoxicating scent. I was surprised and in denial. I told myself that it was my mind playing tricks when it wasn’t. Now that I have seen her again I don’t want anything bad to happen to her or hurt her in any way.” He answered.
I kept quiet and pressed my hand on my chest, my heart was badly aching and Kiara was whimpering loudly.
All I wanted to do was comfort my mate who had been so hurt and lonely because of me in the past.
“I’m sorry.” I whispered then rushed Into my room and locked the door. I truly was a coward.
