The loud knock on the front door woke me up.
"Daniels! Open the door!"
What the heck? Who in their right mind would knock like they wanted to burst the door open the way they knock? I got it my older brother is the beta but what the hell?
Annoyed, I stood up, snatched my robe, and went down to check who it was. I opened the door and was only greeted by the scent that allured me last night and felt my wolf stir again.
"Mate! Mate!" she whispered, but when she probably realized what happened last night, her spirit died and curled in a ball.
"You," Alpha Killian said, looking at me like I'm a goddamn piece of meat. His mouth waters and keeps on inhaling, probably my scent. "..are my mate," he continued.
Killian imprisoned me in his arms and kissed me passionately. As soon as our skin touched, millions of electrifying tingles exploded in my body. Those tingles made their way to where my chest was and gently stirred my sleeping heart.
Ah…it felt good. It felt like everything between us was perfect. It's like we are meant for each other. The rhythm of our hearts complimenting each other. Our lip-fighting sync made me lose my rational mind as I wrapped my hands around his neck. I don't care anymore. My wolf and I wanted this man so badly. We have been waiting for him to arrive. And now that he is with us, I can't let him go.
Killian is mine. He is my mate.
I closed my eyes and immersed myself in the intoxicating pleasure I had had with him. I knew more than anyone else that this feeling would only be experienced with your mate. Ah.. My Killian…
I felt Killian wrap my arms around his neck before he slightly pushed me away for some space between us.
"T-this is wrong," he said confusedly.
I can see the confusion between what we did and what he is thinking in his eyes.
"What's wrong? This has never been wrong," I answered him. My wolf and I united, only this time to wake Killian up.
"I have a mate, and she's pregnant. I decided to marry her," he told me.
I'd be lying if what he said didn't sting my heart, but I ignored it.
"She's not your mate. It is me. My wolf and I are your mates. We were made to be yours, and you are to me. Why are you choosing someone else and not me?" I asked him as my heart started to bleed.
I could hear my wolf howling in sadness as if she was breaking, too, like me. But I won't let him go without a fight. My wolf and I deserve a mate. We waited so long, and rejection isn't an option for us.
"I love her…" Killian whispered, and if only I didn't have a sharp sense of hearing, I wouldn't hear what he said.
I looked at him, swallowing the lump in my throat, a knife starting to cut my heart into pieces. The pain began to be acknowledged by my body, making its presence present at this moment.
"Love? How can you say you love her when you know she isn't your mate!?" I screamed at him. I don't care if my voice becomes louder, but I need to ask him why? Why? Why did I feel like he was choosing her over me?
"She carries my baby," he said, not sure.
Although I'm about to lose this war between us, I have to do my all. I don't want to be rejected and don't care if my principles are thrown away outside the window. I closed the distance between us and cupped his face.
"I can also give you as many children as you want. Why didn't you wait for me? Why were you in a hurry to have one? Don't you need me? Your mate?" I asked him. "Please don't do this to me," I begged him.
I saw Killian's Adam's apple move as he swallowed something while looking at me.
I was about to beg more, but Killian's hungry lips met me. Killian's inhibition probably lost and got himself slave to the tingles he and I can only share.
"I don't want to reject you," Killian told me, lying on my bed while he combed my hair with his fingers.
I thought he and I would mate, but thankfully, we stopped it in the middle when Killian remembered that he had already marked Isabelle, and she would feel it if Killian and I did the deed. Killian didn't harm his child.
"How about Isabelle? And will it happen to us? Are you still going to marry her? " I asked him.
"No. I will hold the wedding after Isabelle gives birth. In the meantime, I want you to be by my side," he replied, unsure.
I needed clarification. What is Killian trying to say?
"What? What do you mean?"
"I want us to be mates, Rain, and we need to hide while Isabelle is still pregnant. I want you only for me. If you agree to my terms, everything will be okay. Do you want to listen?" he asked me again.
I thought about what he said and decided to listen.
He plans to buy me an apartment. He told me that I could still do what I normally do. He even told me he'd buy me a car in exchange for me staying out of everyone and keeping it a secret that we were mates. He can only do this for me now.
This term, he said, was too much for me. If I still have my pride with me, I'll refuse it. I wouldn't say I like this idea. Why must we keep it a secret when we are true mates? But since Isabelle is pregnant, I am reconsidering it. He promised he'd leave her for me after she gave birth and introduce me to the whole pack as his mate. I can do it.
I asked Matthew for a day off, which he immediately agreed to. Killian told me that he bought me an apartment outside the pack's territory which he knew I would like. And he didn't disappoint me. The apartment is simple yet has a warm interior. The human broker told me that the apartment has all the access to necessities and even the college I am attending. She told me that it is already fully paid and she's asking me when I will move so that she can arrange everything. In the other's eyes, this is all wrong. Killian is mated Alpha, and he will be a father soon. My pack mates had already assumed that Isabelle was his mate and that they would get married soon. And in their eyes, I will be the thorn between Killian and Isabelle if they will find out about me. I am the wrong one despite being the right one for him. I don't care what they are going to say, but all I know, I am his rightful mate and that he chose Isabelle out of obligation because if she didn't get pregnant in the first
"I'd like to invite you to our baby shower, baby," Killian said while kissing my forehead. We are in my bed, cooped around for the rest of the day.I looked at him with furrowed brows and tried to confirm what he said. "Are you sure? I mean, that is your baby shower with Isabelle. Do you know how I will feel?" I asked him. "Yes. It's a mandatory party. Father told me that the whole pack must be there. I don't have any choice," he added before touching my face. The tingles that traveled from our skin temporarily made me forget about the baby shower and my protest. My wolf and I love the tingles we share because it connects us to Killian."Can I not go?" I asked him. "No, you can't, baby. I'm sorry," he said, starting to kiss me again. Ugh, I don't like it when he does this. He knew I couldn't refuse his request without considering how I would feel. "Alright. I'll be there. When is it happening?" I asked him. "The night after tomorrow. So I expect you to come, and I could tour y
Killian and I have established a relationship, although it's just between us. I can't help but be envious of the couple standing on the makeshift stage, happy and excited while trying to pop a gender-neutral color balloon.They look so perfect. It was like they were royal highnesses, the king and queen. The pack members cheer on them despite being divided in their guesses."Aren't they so cute, Rain?" Kaila asked me, smiling."No, they are not. I would rather say we are lovely if I were that woman," my wolf answered. Thankfully, Kaila can't hear, or she will wonder why my wolf said that."Yes, they are," I replied, faking my smile."Isabelle is a kind woman, Rain. She will be a good luna for us," Kaila added.My wolf didn't like what she heard, and she growled, protesting."Did you two talk?" I asked her, pushing my wolf to the corner of my mind."No. Never," I answered."This woman is disrespecting us, Rain! Tear her to shred and burn her! Show her her place! How dare she praises th
The food is about to serve. Why are you leaving? You need to eat first," she said, still with a sweet smile on her face plastered, and it didn't go away."Ah, does this woman know she's hurting someone just by staying by Killian's side despite knowing she is not his mate?" I ask my wolf."Someone who doesn't wait for their fated pair is considered an indecent woman. This woman in front of us has the nerve to get pregnant by someone who isn't even his mate. It'll make me wonder if, once we ask her if she is aware that Killian is not his mate and that there is someone destined for him instead," my wold replied. I can feel my wolf's burning stare on Isabelle. The hatred is apparent, but she is off-limits since she is with Killian.With forest-green eyes that match the color of her maternity dress, Isabelle is beautiful. No wonder why Killian has fallen for her. "Of course, our mate and us didn't have the chance to meet earlier. If he did meet us first, Isabelle would have been out of t
My fingers were trembling as I tried to insert the key into the keyhole. '"Damn it! Insert!" I scream in frustration. My heart is aching, and it makes me want to lash out. My wolf's pained howls aren't helping too.I know both of us were hurting, but what else could we do? Our mate is with someone else. I thought my wolf and I could carry on his terms, but damn, it hurts. The reality is freaking hurt.As soon I managed to insert the key and start the car, I drove away from the pack house and doubted if I would see it the way I did before, back when I hadn't met my mate. This situation is frustrating, painfully frustrating. I am incomplete, and my heart is yearning for Killian. I want him. My wolf wants his wolf. We want him so much... I wiped my tears as they started to blur my sight while driving. I can't do anything to claim what is mine. Killian...Killian.I'm still holding on because I don't want to let him go. He is mine. When I arrived at my house, I noticed a moving truc
According to Zander, Killian left with Jasmine two days ago after their baby's gender reveal party. He told me that Killian probably decided to let Isabelle breathe since her birth was around the corner. Unlike humans, werewolf pregnancy usually takes six months. Isabelle is due three weeks from now. I should feel excited about her giving birth because Killian will finally be mine. The terms he gave me were that after his girlfriend's delivery, he would break up with her and throw her away from the pack. I believed him, but something behind my back was nagging me to stop assuming. It tells me that Killain's eye expresses so much love to Isabelle that breaking up with her will be impossible. I witnessed that too, but my wolf would always say that Killian would never betray us and our trust. It would have been a long time ago if he wanted to reject us. But what if-"You seem pretty distracted," my best friend said when she noticed me staring somewhere while with her. "I'm sorry. What
"Order up!" Edward yelled while ringing the bell.I laid down the rag I had been using to wipe the same spot for five minutes and went to get the food tray. It was a quiet day today. At least a couple of older people have been dining in, dedicated only to them, since morning. These fewer movements make me think about Killian. I was trying to find ways to keep myself busy, so I can't think about Killian, who has yet to contact me. This situation is painfully hurting me. Where did he go, and what is he doing? Those questions filled my head up, and I couldn't find an answer. "Here you go," I smiled, setting the plates in front of an elderly couple. "Can I get you anything else?""No, thank you, sweetie," the woman said kindly. "We have everything we need," she added.I nodded at them both before turning away to return to the counter. I sighed once I reached my destination and propped myself on my elbow. I glance around the place, seeing if anyone needs anything before realizing everyon
"Rain, I went home today. Something came up that needed my attention." It was a message from Erix. Oh, come to think of it. Erix and I agreed that we'd have a movie marathon tonight since the next day is my day off. Well, it can't be helped, Erix is an alpha, and he still has some responsibility to the pack he left behind. I sat down in the crowded club with Aira while she was chatting with a stranger. Now that my plans with Erix were canceled, I don't have any valid reason for Aira to decline her invitation. And now I'm stuck in this club. Aira is another friend, aside from being a classmate and a co-worker. And she once belonged to a pack before she decided to run away and leave in this neutral town for good. I knew Aira loved entertaining humans, but she also told me it was just for the time being until she met her mate. She doesn't want a serious relationship to avoid complications in the future. So in the meantime, she's dragging me anytime she knows I'm not doing anything. It
