I can’t wait for recession so I would see my mate Luca. He called me earlier but I didn’t feel anything special as Rose would always say. it was just as before.
“Rose how do you feel your mate? I couldn’t help but ask Rose again.
“You would get to Smell the strong mate bond as you get closer to him” she said and I nodded.
I haven’t seen Luca so I guess I would feel him during recession.
The teacher came in and we all concentrated.
Recession bell rang and Reign jumped. ” Mate!!!!” She yelped and I laughed.
“Let’s go Rose!!! I yelled and she laughed. “Easy, we would get to the cafeteria either we walk or ran”.
Duh!!! Let’s run it would be more faster to get there than walking” I dragged her hands, running off and towards the cafeteria.
Luca I yelped crashing into him but withdrew all of a sudden.
I felt nothing, no spark, no bond, no connection of any sort with him. My knee sank and I slowly dropped down as everything went blank.
**** LUCA’S POV****
I stood shocked, my body vibrating. I didn’t want to believe Rhoda wasn’t my Mate. My whole world came crumbling on my feet.
Rhoda had fainted when she noticed there was no mate bond between us. I wasn’t her mate and after all these years, our love was going to end just like that?.
That wouldn’t be happening. Just maybe, we would still feel the bond. Maybe the bond hadn’t gotten strong. l don’t want to think she wasn’t my mate.
I stare at her laying on the infirmary, eyes shut and IV connected to her hand. Rose sat at her side holding her other free hand. A single tear dropped from my eye.
“Luca you should calm down” Max said holding my shoulder. You don’t expect me to calm down” my girlfriend of 9yrs isn’t my mate and you sit here preaching to me about calmness” I shrieked.
My heart burned and my wolf Lucious grieved. This is unbelievable and I wasn’t going to believe this.
“The moon goddess wouldn’t be as wicked to separate the both of us. This is unfair and unjust” I screamed as tears roll down my eyes.
I couldn’t bare the pains and seeing her lying lifeless on this bed drives me crazy.
I stood up and walked towards the door and opened it, Max called my name and I turned raising my brows.
“She’s awake he said” and I glanced at Rhoda who was looking up at the ceiling tears streaming down her eyes. I don’t want to see her like this, I don’t guarantee myself staying strong for her when all I just wanted to do was to drown myself in alcohol.
I stared at her for a while and left the room, closing the door behind me. I went straight to the garage not minding the student’s stares, I got into my car and drove speedily off.
I entered a wine bar and walked to the front bar, slumped down on the stool and a single tear rolled down my cheek then another until it drenched my face.
“A glass of White Russian” I said to the bartender and he nodded and brought it shortly.
I gulped it down and gave him the glass “more”. I ignored the stares of people who were obviously wondering what a high school boy was doing in a bar during school hour and wearing a uniform.
None of that seemed to bother me as I drown myself in vodka. I just want to get wasted and probably die because living without Rhoda, I don’t think I could.
We had come a long way and wouldn’t be separating now just because she wasn’t my mate. I wouldn’t take that not when I had hoped she would be mine.
Not after all these years we spent together, someone else will appear from nowhere to claim here. That would only be happening after my death.
I ordered more alcohol till my body could no longer take more. I stood up drowsily, paid the barman and sauntered out of the wine bar.
RHODA’S POV
I squinted my eyes weakly as I looked around the white room. It seems like a hospital ” I thought as a voice called my name. “Rhoda you are awake!!! Max quick call the nurse” Rose said and Max rushed out.
I tried sitting up when the pain hit my head. I groaned as I touched my head. “Rose what happened to me?” I asked as she helped me sit.
“You fainted at the cafeteria” she replied and instantly, I remembered that I had rushed into the cafeteria speedily to meet my supposed mate only to find out he wasn’t my mate.
“Where is Luca?” I asked looking around the room but no traces of him. “He was here a while ago, he just left to cool off his mind” she said and I sighed.
Luca would be so broken after knowing we weren’t actually mates as we thought we would.
“Rose Luca isn’t my mate!!!” I bursted out in tears as Rose came to sit beside me. “Rose for 9 good years we had been together loving each other and thinking we would end up together”.
“Ever since I was a kid and now that I had turned 18, we weren’t actually mates as we had thought Rose” I whimpered and Rose hugged me tightly.
“It’s ok, Everything would be alright” she said patting my back.
“Nothing would be alright Rose, absolutely nothing. Tell me how would things be alright when Luca isn’t my mate?.
“How would things be alright when I would be mated with a complete stranger whom I don’t even know? Tell me Rose!!!! Tell me….” I cried out, whimpering. Rose sighed holding tight to me as I cry out my eyes.
The nurse soon came back with Max and she said she wanted to inject me so I could rest more.
I was already exhausted from crying so I allowed her do whatever she wanted to do to me as long as it would take away my pains.
