The moon party kicked off and I knew I was going to have fun. Everyone was clad in white or silver and had their heads decorated.
I was on my fourth potion when I noticed people staring at me in disgust.
I felt uncomfortable, but I ignored them and continued to have another drink; I was so happy today because it was rumoured heavily that the moon collided with the stars today and made finding mates so much easier.
I was twenty-two years old without a mate and it was embarrassing, I was taking yet another drink when a girl stood abruptly before me.
"Goddess!" I shouted,
"You scared me!" placing a hand on my chest as she continued to look at me like a crazy person then she smiled.
"Look, I don't know if you know, but this is strictly by invitation..." she trailed off, and I looked up at her, astonished by her audacity.
"People are staring and we don't want you to make people uncomfortable," she said and took a good look at me.
What did she mean by that!?
"Uncomfortable, how?" I asked, my voice getting defensive
I'm sure the alcohol was playing more than a few tricks on me.
"We know that you're mateless and wolfless -
My face was constructed into one of shock and anger.
"You're a bad omen. Don't you see that?" She whispered and I didn't think my eyes could stretch more than they were.
" I think it would be best if you left, so Please leave," she said in a sweet tone and walked out on me, flipping her hair as she left.
I stood there like a statue, shocked to my bones at how people could be so mean.
A part of me wanted to keep on drinking, twice more than normal but I thought twice as shame engulfed me. Making me leave the party sad.
I was mateless and wolfless, but that wasn't my fault, and how people kept knowing about that flaw made me wonder if I had it written somewhere.
I knew that I wasn't from their pack originally but that didn't give them or anyone the right to treat me that way.
I sighed to myself as something started to call out to me. I called out back and ecstasy filled my bones.
What was this?
I love the scent that engulfed me, and before long, I was breathing it in till that was all I could perceive, my mind searching for what it must have been.
A part of me remembered that to feel a scent from nowhere was to have your mate nearby.
I was suddenly excited as I grasped the opportunity of my mate being nearby.
This could be the end of everything. All the rejections and insults? This could be it.
If he was close, I needed to meet him.
I moved quickly, as I didn't want the scent to die out. Excitement powered me through as I moved till the scent was the only thing in my nose even when I came in contact with the palace gates, I still moved forward.
Suddenly, I felt my body light on fire, a good kind of fire that brought warmth to my skin and insides.
I pressed my legs together to stop the feeling but the more I pressed my legs, the more I felt a moan at the back of my throat.
I was excited, and I was in heat; all I wanted to do was to see my mate and make him mark me as his and his alone.
The scent got stronger as I passed through the throne room and some other rooms but the moment I got to the garden, the scent stopped.
I was still excited and juices dripped down the side of my thighs as I moved, I bit my lip in ecstasy.
All the beautiful things that he could do to me filled my head proportionately.
I placed a hand on my stomach to still myself and that was when I heard it.
It started at first but then fast, tiny sounds coming from inside the garden.
My heart started to beat fast as I heard more thumping and as I pressed my ears to the closed door, I heard moans.
I wanted to back away but the more the moans came out, the more annoyed I felt.
I have never felt like this, constricted about what to do; as the moans came out even louder, I couldn't help the anger that suddenly built within me.
I opened the door with force and I was met with an outstretched bareback in the shadows, I realized that the moans were coming from someone else in this same Garden.
My face fell as I realized without a doubt that I was connected to the guy but that he was sleeping with someone else.
I gasped in horror as he finally turned back and paused for a moment.
"Don't stop?" the girl said and he smiled broadly
And
He kept going!
I stood there, with my thighs dripping all of my juices, my mouth dry and watering at the same time.
I was the one supposed to be bent over not someone else. Hurt filled my heart as I made to turn around and walk out of the door.
"Stay!" he commanded, and as though I was under a spell, I stood there and heard his every grunt and every moan until he was finished and from where I was, my eyes rolled back in pain, and yet I was still hungry for his touch.
"Were you the one that called out to me?" He asked, and I turned to look at him, my face in horror of what it was he was asking me; he stepped out of the shadows, a smirk on his face.
The moment my eyes saw his, I immediately felt stupid.
What on earth did they put in that drink because I was delusional?
"Are you,- stressing the word as though it was some form of disease
" supposed to be my mate?" He asked me as he looked at me from my head to my toes and I froze.
There was no way that Lucius Hayden, prince of the ice stone pack was my mate.
No way this man whore and brat was my mate!
