Mated To My Destiny

Chapter Three: Surprise, dear mate

Somehow Xander had moved without me noticing and he was now standing further back from the rest, almost blocking the door.

"You're blinded," Xander said as I neared him. I didn't bother moving out of the way, I shove past him, allowing my arm to slightly push against his and say, " I'll look into it," and I leave.

I had too much to think about as I slowly made myself to my dorm.

Did Hunter kill that child? Is Xander really right? Who is my roommate?

Is my mate a monster?

                  The next few days I tried to lay low, think about my options, my next move. I went to class and then straight back to my room. I started to appreciate the double occupancy apartment they had on campus, especially when my roommate didn't even show up. It was basically just an apartment with everything I needed.

                  I hadn't seen Xander, Leslie, or anyone from that weird club all week.

                  I had all the silence I needed, yet I still hadn't thought of what to say to Hunter. How would I even bring up the video I saw of him without mentioning Xander. So many thoughts coursed through my head filling up the silence of the library I was in.

                  Sighing, I shut my textbook and shove it into my backpack. There was no use in trying to study when my mind wouldn't give me a moment to myself. I decide to grab an iced coffee and just roam the campus until I finally reach my room.

                  Cotton candy sky on a Friday evening, the fresh air was starting to calm me. Oh, how I miss nature. I take a last glance at the sky and make my way into the residency building.

When I got to my dorm room, something was off. The eggshell-colored door was slightly propped open, peering through the entrance, all the lights were off. Slowly pushing the door a few inches more, the room was absolutely silent.

                  "Umm hello?" I took a step inside. My mind wandered towards my potential roommate. Perhaps they already moved in and forgot to lock the door.

                  I push the door all the way in, glancing at everything In my eyesight. Straight ahead were two doors, a bathroom, and a closet for coats and shoes. The doorway went through a tiny hall and in order to see the rest of the condo, I needed to step fully inside.

                  "Hello?" I call again as I take a few steps in, looking to my right I see the open space of the kitchen. From there only the empty room door on the left was open. I skeptically look at my room from the distance, the door was shut closed.

                  Had it always been closed?

A small gust of fear crept through my spine and I suddenly felt really cold. I push down that feeling, I am a werewolf. I am strong. I am badass.

                  I am the Luna of the Dark moon pack, anything that's behind that door, I can handle.

With that, I take three long strides towards the other bedroom, and without hesitating, force the door open.

I was wrong, I couldn't handle it.

I either expected the worst or nothing at all. But this, the actual scene before me was appalling. And then, it got worse.

I scream as soon as I saw it.

There on my bed was a naked man, laying on his side with one leg propped up, his stuff, dangling in plain sight.
