“Robert Muffins, are you ready to take Jessica Nuggets as your rightful mate?”
“Yes, I am ready.” He replies, and the whole field start to sparkle with light and beautiful blinking of electricity. The sky gives a brighter light and the sun shines with a loving intensity. Moon goddess’ next of kin is getting mated. Moon goddess herself descends into this meeting and the whole students bow on sighting her presence. She descends on the altar and there she goes, giving both Robert and Jessica gifts. Before we lift our eyes, she has gone again but the place she walked through is filled with sweet aromas of whatchamacallit.
“Jessica Nuggets, are you ready to take Robert Muffins as your rightful mate?” Karl asks Jess and she nods her head repeatedly.
“Sure. Yes, I am ready.” She beams with laughter, and the whole students cheer seeing their most respected Teacher getting mated to his student, but that’s not it. Jessica should be around 27 in her wolf form while Robert should be 32 or thereabout. But in their human form, Robert is 21 while Jessica is 19.
Then two horns shoot out of Robert’s head and the students, still on their feet, start to hail him with their diverse voices.
“Hail, hail, hail!” They start to shout. This is what Rose doesn’t want for me. Though I don’t have the witch power any longer, I’ve returned it to her but I made sure I knew her intention and I’m happy I now know. A true depiction of a green snake in the green grass. Nonsense.
Robert and Jessica don’t cut their palms as Anna and her mate did, maybe because Robert is a vampire.
Then he darts towards her and with his vampire force, his fangs shoot out of his mouth and Jessica falls flatly on the ground, groaning as he marks her as his mate. Robert once told me he has his own mate, he’s such a freak for pranking me. By the way, maybe he doesn’t want me to think that he’s getting close to me so I would be his mate. Whatever. Rose hisses and fumes with fear as Robert gives Jessica the last mark.
With the way things are, my mind tells me Rose is gonna join Jude in destroying all packs. Either Jude or Ben since I know who she is, she wouldn’t want to get mated last or get mated to a mere wolf and celebrated indoors. She would want all students to cheer and give her a standing ovation as they did for Jessica.
Her next target now is Jessica with that look on her face. I will make sure Jessica doesn’t fall for her trap, I’ll also get the witch power from Jessica. No, I’ll tell Jessica to switch on the witch power in her so she would know Rose’s intention. Well, that’s if she really has the power in her.
Then Rose forms fists with her hands and kicks the chair in front of her away as she darts towards the shifting room. Since all students’ attention has been diverted to her action, she moves faster into a ditch and hides there.
Robert gives Jessica the last mark and he helps her up. She stands up, and Robert hugs her tightly. After detaching themselves from the hug, they start to kiss. On that same podium.
“You can do that inside. Let others mark themselves now.” Karl instructs and they kiss themselves till they get inside another room opposite the field.
“The last person to be mated today…” Karl calls out, and I rest on Anna’s shoulders. She is right here with me, he came here after she got marked.
“Anna, who is the last person?” I ask her, and she stares at her mate. They both chuckle.
“I don’t know.” She shrugs. “It should be Rose.”
“Let’s listen to him. Okay, girl?” Smith says and i bow my head in response.
“The last but not the least is…” He deliberately puts us in suspense and the whole students protest through their voices.
“Sophia Dylan!” He screams my name, and the whole congregation cheer with whistles and shrieks and songs of different kinds.
“Whatttt…. Whatttt the fuck.” I mutter, gasping for breath. Anna and her mate seem shocked too.
“How?” I ask them but they only look at themselves.
“Let her come over here to the altar.” Karl orders, and a man runs towards my side. He soon gets to my side and he helps me up as he hurries my feet to stand on the podium. The cheers of the students have only increased in loudness.
“Sophia.” He calls me but my lips shiver and i can’t say a word.
“Listen, you all.” He brings the students to order once again. “Sophia Dylan is yet to get her mate but I called her to stamp her on this altar.”
“Come back here by January 10 and Sophia will get mated the following day.” He says with his voice raised, and all the students clap their palms together.
“But I’m not 18 then.” I mutter, and he rolls his eyes at me.
“You can all go to your homes. Not the hostels. Go home and have a 15-day rest.” He says and without any further hesitation, the students stand up with some appointed men putting them into order and they all exit the school. None got into the school bus, they all trek. Maybe they are planning to shift.
“You see, all these student have gotten their mates, yet they are not 18.” Karl tells me after sitting me down in his office, just behind the podium.
“Yes, I Know that.” I tell him. “I’ll surely get my mate before May 4.”
“Glad you know. January 10-May 1 is a semester for a month and a half, tourism for a month and a half. And then a month for exams.” He explains. “Get it?”
“Yes, get it. Thank you. May I also go home now?”
“No, don’t. Instead, go meet your newly mated friends. Jessica and Anna.” He says. “And Martha.”
I try to speak but I stop.
“They are all in Robert’s second office, right behind the corridor leading to the hallway.” He answers my unasked question.
“Thank you, Karl. But I want to ask, how is Dylan, Greg, Isabella…” I stop there.
“We are fine. Dylan will be here next month because our pack has relocated to this area.” Karl replies.
“Oh. You have gotten back your pack?”
“We only lost half. We have retrieved the other members.” He replies. “And i am still the Alpha now while Dylan and Greg remain the Beta.”
“Oh okay. What of the issue of wizardry?”
“What about that?” He asks.
“Does moon goddess now support it?”
“No and Yes. We need the power but you must not have that power in you until you have either gotten your mate or gotten mated already.”
“Thank you for the clarification.” I tell him, and stand up.
“You are welcome. More clarifications will be unleashed to you by next month. Do good to have a nice day, and happy new year in advance.”
“Thanks.” I clip, and walk out of his office.
Martha bumps into me as soon as I get out of his office, and I become imbalanced on a spot.
“Martha, what the fuck!” I tell at her but she hugs me tightly and pecks my chin.
“Babygirl. You’ve been good, huh?” She says, and directs me to Robert’s second office. Once we get there, we see two seats separated from each other. I mean, two seats at each angle. Jessica and Robert sit on the seats placed in the middle angle. Smith and Anna sit on the seats at the left angle while Martha and her mate sit at the right angle. I sit on a lone swivel chair and we all clear out throat.
We all smile and as I look back to hide my blushing, I see Rose staggering around and wailing. She adds heap of garbage on her head and moves around like a lunatic. That is the only thing saddening my heart right now.
“Jess Jess.” I call her name twice, ignoring Rose. “A Big Congrats to you.”
She puts her hands on her face and start to chuckle Inwardly.
“Awwww…. thank you.” She says and Robert smirks.
“But, for real, Robert, you didn’t gist me.” I face Robert and he smiles widely.
“Did you ask?” He smirks.
“Oh-oh.” I hiccup. “Will you do me another favor then?”
“Sure, my mate will. What is it, dear?” Jessica replies instead. Anna, Martha and their mates are busy having silent love discussions.
“Just pass me. Don’t let me sit any exam. It isn’t my fault that I wasn’t available. I’d be glad if…” I splutter, and Robert cuts in.
“I was only joking then. And again, that bastard, Maxwell made me angry by clutching onto you every damn time.” He splutters too. “Where is even that son of a bitch?”
“I don’t know.” I shrug. Honestly, I don’t know where he Is.
“Maybe he’s out there looking for his mate.” I tell them, and they all chuckle. I now understand why they don’t want me near Maxwell. So that I will be celebrated like Jessica and I will be a mate of a Great Alpha. Rose doesn’t want me near Maxwell as well but much more, she doesn’t want me near Ben and Jude since they are great Alphas. She would have just signed me up with Maxwell if she liked him and so that I would forget totally about Jude and Ben. Then, she will dump Greg her mate for me if Maxwell doesn’t work and she will go with either Ben or Jude.
She has been acting like someone who hates Ben and Jude so I won’t notice her evil intention. She actually wants one of them as a mate so I’ll not be a great Luna.
Moon goddess revealed all these to me when she appeared on the podium during Robert and Jessica’s time to get mated.
“You are lost, Sophia.” Robert says, repeatedly.
“Oh no.” I force a smile but it only turns out to be a smirk.
“I’m not lost, thank you.”
“Anything, babygirl? I’ll help you.” Jessica says, and i smile in response. I’m glad I have a great Luna as a friend, she will guide me in becoming a great Luna too but that’s if she’s not like Rose who has that evil and bitchy selfish intention of taking my place.
I still love Maxwell though but I wish he was a vampire, it’d have been the best. I don’t pray to get mated to Ben or Jude, I have never wished to but if that’s the wish of the moon goddess, it should be so, I don’t have an option. Moon goddess isn’t wicked, the love will come if it’s one of them. It’s for sure one of them, she has been saying that for the umpteenth time.
Here are we, going to each room in the hostel, living here till we resume fully with the 2000 students.
Stay tuned.
