I couldn't believe what I had heard and stood straight, my ears perked up, ready to detect any movement.
"Mate?" I asked and she growled again.
'Mate.'
This would ruin my plans. I didn't want a mate and I surely wouldn't accept one. All I wanted in this new life was revenge. To destroy everyone who aided in destroying my life in the past. I decided to leave and walk back to the venue but my wolf was strong and resistant.
She kept pulling me backwards, commanding my body to move in the direction of my mate. It was now I realized the mate pull is so strong and weird. Even though I didn't want to go, I had no choice as my senses were heightened and they were in control at the moment. The closer I got to meeting my mate, the more my heart raced and my body tingled. My body felt like it was on fire and the new excited feeling felt really weird to me.
My wolf continued to howl frantically pushing me to go forward. I couldn't control her.
I had given up on getting a mate in this life. And if I was to have one, I didn't care who it would be as long as it wasn't Leo. But a mate from the moon goddess appearing out of nowhere was something that didn't happen before and it made me feel like it would hinder my plans.
I finally came face to face with my mate and I opened my mouth in shock when I saw the person.
Nick Carter is a devil. A cold hearted murder who wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who got in his way. They say his eyes are cold blue because of the innocent lives he had taken and his wolf was huge and intimidating because of the innocent blood and flesh he had eaten. He was as handsome as the devil and tricked women into his arms before he devoured them like desert.
Rumour has it that he was cannibalistic and would usually eat some of his fellow wolves.
As our gazes met, my heart began to pound not out of excitement of meeting him, but out of fear. If the rumors were true and he was truly cannibalistic in nature, haven't I run into the wrong arms?
What was the moon goddess thinking when she gave me this type of mate?
Every member of Nick's pack was vicious and I was sure it was as a result of training from the evil man. In my past life, I had no contact with him and only heard rumors about him here and there.
But with the things I knew, it was obvious he was a brutal man.
He walked towards me clearly under the influence of his wolf as I could see the curious look in his eyes. He trailed his eye towards my small figure and arched his brow. His cold blue eyes stared into mine and he stopped when he was a foot away from me. While I tried to properly breath and not be overwhelmed by his presence.
Perhaps I should have listened to my aunt earlier on and began finding the witch in me. I could really do with a spell to help me vanish from his presence at the moment.
"Little girl, what is your name and the name of your pack?"
I swallowed hard as the fear gripped me. Just his height was intimidating enough. But then, almost everyone looked intimidating when I viewed them from my 5'2 self. "I…I am Dennis Williams. From Pack Gunta."
He absorbed the information as his gaze landed on my lips before moving back to my eyes. Resisting the urge to bite my lips as I felt a different rush of excitement run through my body.
This scene didn't happen in my past life and I never even met this man before. But I couldn't control the present so I gathered my courage and decided to go with the flow.
"We are mates." He announced as if he thought I hadn't figured it out.
"I know."
He leaned forward a bit, leaving our faces with barely two inches. "You are quite small." He comments.
Feeling like he was invading my personal space, I pushed him away and took three steps back. "Don't get so close to me. I just met you." I managed to say pouting my lips and frowning.
I had expected him to get mad and treat me viciously like the man he was described to be, but I became shocked when I heard him apologize. "I am sorry, I didn't think you would feel uncomfortable." He cleared his throat and stretched his hand forward for a handshake. "I am Nick Carter. Alpha of the Carter Pack. Nice to meet you mate."
It seems that Nick easily accepted the fact that we were mates but I was still trying to process it. He didn't know it, but he was like a bug in my system. He was not even supposed to appear according to scenes from my past life.
How did he get such a major role when I didn't even cast him?
"I..I know that we are mates but I am sorry I don't think I can accept you."
He growled and retracted his hand while I placed mine behind my back. I stared at his expression and found him glaring at with evident frown lines on his forehead. "Why? We were chosen as mates by the moon goddess. Why do you want to reject me?"
There was no way he could understand even if I explained so I simply told him. "I don't need a mate. And so I am rejecting you."
He released a deep growl from his throat and I took a careful step back. I knew he was controlling himself from getting angry and keeping a leash on his wolf. "Your excuse isn't tangible. Why do you want to reject me?"
I released a sigh and tried to think of something else to tell him. "Listen, I simply don't…" I stopped when I sniffed a third familiar scent. Turning my gaze to the left, I was shocked to see Leo staring at Nick and I with obvious confusion and betrayal.
"Dennis, who is he ?" Leo asked standing beside me, why is Leo pretending not to know Nick…like Nick Carter " Hi am Nick Carter though it's weird you don't know me" Nick responded like he could read my thoughts " Oh, I didn't recognize you at first, " Leo claimed, holding me by the waist. Nick stares at Leo's hand position with a weird expression on his face, I know right …your mate already chose a mate isn't that weird? " Dennis let's return to the party" Leo added glancing at me with a wide smile " Sure, Nick" Isn't he going to say anything concerning Leo taking me away before he could say complete the conversation "What? You are free to go he is your mate after" he exaggerated…what a lousy mate he doesn't even care, I thought he would at least stop us "Bye," I said through gritted teeth as Leo pulled me away …I still turned back occasionally to look at Nick who waves back anytime our eyes, how's that butt-ass, my mate? " Where were you?" Sunny asked me more like asked Leo s
Why do you keep asking me this same question?" I asked " Because we are mates," Nick said " So you want to take advantage of that ?" "No…no..no, that's not what I meant…I know you were supposed to make him your alpha but why doesn't it seem like you want it" " How did you find out?" I asked making him chuckle " I just needed to say your name and everyone won't stop gossiping about how you were ready to step down from your position as alpha for Leo, what caused the sudden change of mind because you hadn't met me when you rejected him" he's right but how can I trust him to keep. My secrets are safe. " If you don't trust me then we can talk about something else" " No, you asked as my mate I should at least let you know why I rejected you at first, " I said thinking of the right way to begin my story. " So go ahead, this place is well confined. I would be between the both of us" he assured. " I want revenge" I stated…. the word came out before I could realize it. " How, why …
" Dennis" Nick called, catching his breath as he slowly got to me, Leo walked away leaving us to talk. " What happened this time?" I whispered "Wasn't it my job to make Leo jealous?" he whispered back, holding me by my waist as he kissed my cheeks softly. " How would I find you?" he added, staring at Leo from behind me. "You have a way, I know you would find me when you are desperate," I said before following Leo to our car, I could still feel Nick's eyes on me …what's up with him. "Nick seems to like you more than we thought," my dad said from the driver's seat the minute I stepped in, I didn't bother saying anything or making any hiss beside me, you all watch and see I would deal with all of you one after the other and Nick would be my perfect assistant for the job. I stared at my room ceiling still remembering my past life like it was yesterday and how you broke my trust killing me without remorse and now he is trying to act pitiful when he isn't even in love with me from th
"Where are we going anyways," I asked feeling disgusted to talk about my family and their behaviors…he nods absently, so he doesn't have a destination. "Or do you have any place in mind we could stroll to," he asked " So you brought me out with no place in mind," I asked "The minute I got your address I just sensed that you needed me around" he joked " Are you always like this, playful and supportive?" I asked making him frown immediately. "I don't know what's wrong with me," he said to himself " You are different I guess" he added " Am just your mate nothing else" I replied going through his radio channels. "Let's go back to your garden, I love it there," I said settling back in my seat since I couldn't find a suitable channel to bingo. "The garden it is," he said speeding off, it almost skipped my mind that Nick is a crazy driver I buckled up my seatbelt quickly. "Let me get you something to chew on" Nick offered heading into another room in the garden, it looked like a de
"Are you sure I can come in with you?" Nick asks for the fourth time since we stepped foot inside the region. " My packs aren't so dangerous as they sound," I said " I didn't mean dangerous but every pack is very scared Carter's pack," he said boldly that was an achievement Making me smile at his words. "But I am not scared of you" "Because you have only met this side of me," he said which was very true I have only known you for just a few days and I haven't witnessed his character witamongng other people. "You are right I hope you aren't the kind of person who gets angry too easily". " Don't worry even if I am you won't ever witness it" he assured as u knocked on the mansion gates Henry my cousin opened up looking so surprised. "Dennis, why are you here?" He asked checking around if there was anyone behind him. "I came to see Uncle" I expressed "You can't be here" we whispered still looking a bit startled. " Just let me in and besides am I truly not welcomed here" "No, it
" Maybe we should both be placed in history books for our future generations to see," Nick said…why is always joking about everything and hardly ever serious around me. " Alex, can you help me find out why I was reborn again," I asked to make them all stop talking about Nick being my mate. " I will find answers just take good care of yourself and find a way to get out of there before they plot something much worse than that" my uncle's advice " I am not scared of their threats and won't leave there till they all pay dearly" `That's why I am by her side to make their lives a living hell mostly Leo,'' Nick said with a different tone than earlier, he sounds much more serious and his facial expression wasn't an exception. " It's getting late already. Would you like to spend the night here?" My aunt asked, I turn to Nick for his opinion but he nods negatively and that is a no. " We would leave now Maybe another time, right Nick," I said. " Ugh yes..we would spend the night over when
Leo looked pissed beyond imagination and I was liking it not until my phone started ringing. "Nick " I called, smiling as Leo leaves in annoyance. "I thought you won't call me back ever" "You made me ill," Nick said coughing " How did that happen," I asked " I don't drink that much or I get hangover for days and you watched me get that drunk," he said slowly sniffing " I am sorry Nick I just wanted to make you relaxed," I said "It's fine to come downstairs. I can't sit in this sitting room forever .... Sunny was supposed to call you but I haven't heard her call you yet," he said. " Am coming downstairs now…why didn't you just come up?" I asked putting on my shirt with one hand. "I don't want to cause a ruckus in your humble abode," he said before ending the call…I rushed down the stairs but stopped when I passed the kitchen and heard smoke coming from there. "Stop Leo," Sunny said, pushing his face away while I hid behind the door. " You haven't done anything concerning
Nick said tonight but the night was already getting late and I still had no news from Nick...he should better come before I lose it. A few minutes later I got a call from Nick Making me happy as I squealed around with joy…he is waiting for me downstairs I can't believe after what transpired between him and Leo he still called as promised, Sunny was seated in the sitting room playing chess with my father as I walked past them even if they call me back I won't stop. There he was smiling with his face more refreshed than before, I rushed up to him hugging him tightly as he hugs me back. "You missed me" he joked, caressing my hair before planting a kiss on my cheek. " Nick why are you acting so clingy" I joked "Shh. ….sunny is staring," Nick said… "After what Leo did to you..you still want to go on with the plan, " I asked " We have to make them regret everything and mostly sunny. I hate her bitchy attitude," Nick whispered, opening the passenger door for me as I got in. " I am t
