"Mate..." He growled like an animal, his eyes dilating into strange blood red as it was fixated on the figure before him like she was a prey —his new catch. The young adult before him was scared to the core by his mere sight as she quiver in fear.
"No, this isn't true. It can't be you, Xavier..." Her voice was shaky as she forced the words out of her mouth, nothing but fear was evident in her voice. "I must be in a dream —a nightmare."
Its not possible, her mate can't be Xavier. Her mate can't be this rogue that was banned from entering Moon Lit years ago for violating the pack's rule. The thought of mating with him was enough to make her shudder in pure fright as she tried to shake the thought off her head —it can never be real!
How did she get here in the first place? How did she get herself entangled in such a dilemma which she's fighting herself to snap out of? Wasn't she supposed to be with the other wolves, why deep in the forest?
Yes, she remembered now; the memory was vividly rushing in like waves in ocean. Her instinct had traced a sweet and inviting smell here. With out being told, she knows the smell belongs to her mate and she was super excited to meet her mate. What she failed to figure out was why would her mate be in the forest?
She couldn't wait to get to whosoever her mate may be which made her break into a long sprint, racing her self here. Coming here, she was not only disappointed but was sad as well as frightened as she feel her heart break into a million pieces.
How can the Moon goddess be this cruel to her? What has she done wrong, what was her crime to have made the Moon goddess punish her this much? Why has she chosen Xavier for her amongst other wolves? Why... why? That was her thought as she stared at him.
"Aren't you happy to finally meet your mate, baby girl?" Xavier's voice was laced with mockery and he was wearing a dirty smirk on his face. He had seen how happy she was moment ago till he growled the word ‘mate’ and in a split second, her countenance dropped to that of disappointment.
Xavier has expected that kind of reaction from whosoever his mate may turn out to be but for the reasons not known to him, his heart clenched in despair, earning such reaction from her.
"You can't be my mate, Xavier, you can't. I can never accept you as my mate." Her voice wasn't as shaky as it was at first but fear was still laced in it. "I rather be with out a mate for the rest of my life than have you as one."
"Oh, really? Is that how much you despise me? Your newly found mate?" He snickered as he took a step towards her, she retaliated by taking a step back. "We haven't even spend much time with each other and you despise me this much, eh?"
"Stay away, Xavier. I won't accept a worthless rogue like you as a mate." She forced out the words, trying not to shudder in pure fright anymore as she points the index finger of her right at him. "Stay very far away from me."
