Amelia’s POV
It’s him. It’s my Mate. Our Mate. My Wolf whispers. I have one, I have a Mate, even when everyone else said I wouldn’t get one. I have someone to spend the rest of my life with. Someone to love me.
Green eyes, is what I get lost in. They are amazing, so unique. I have only seen that colour once before on Zitha—
No it can’t be. My Mate can’t be Zithanial, things like that just don’t happen to.
I suddenly hear a growl and it snaps my out of whatever trance I was just in. I look to the right of Zithanial and see Saxon standing here fuming. You could practically see comical red exclamation marks and puffs coming of his head.
Oh no, Saxon is Zithanial’s friend, Saxon would have probably already told him to kick me out because no one likes me.
But more importantly, Saxon is going to kill me for being late and disrupting him.
Just as I think this I see Saxon taking a predatory step towards me.
“Stop!” A growl comes from my Mate.
Saxon freezes in his place. “But She,” He spits out, “Is what I wanted to talk to you about. She is the scum I want gone out of my Pack.”
“My pack?!” Zithanial shouts. “This is not Your pack. This is my pack and I would watch how you speak to me. I was already warmed you once.” He growls to Saxon as he slow walks with his back to me as he speaks to Saxon.
“But- but she does not belong here!” Saxon roars .
“Yes she does, she is my Mate! And you will never talk to her like that again. Do I make myself clear? Cause if not, it maybe you that doesn’t belong here.” Zithanial says in a low voice, he is defending me. My Mate is defending me, I am feeling ecstatic at this moment, but I don’t safe show it on the outside.
“Mate?” Saxon whispers in shock.
“Do I make myself clear?” Zithanial repeats again.
Saxon teared his eyes from me and focused on Zithanial again. “Yeah,” Saxon says simply.
My breaths are slow and shallow and Zithanial, the boy who has never said or don’t anything hurtful to me, turn his body towards me. He is only about a metre away from me but Zithanial covers that in a quick step. I have to lean my head back to look at his face because to his towering frame.
This is the moment I have been waiting for. The moment he rejects me. I may have gotten a Mate, but that still doesn’t mean he is going to reject me.
But he just stood up for us. If he was going to reject us then why did he stand up for us? My Wolf asks me.
You know what all the other wolves have said. I am fat and ugly, no Mate would want me.
The amazing feeling I was feeling before, slowly drained out of me as Zithanial looked me in the eyes with an unreadable expression.
Zithanial slowly brings his hand up to my face and cups my cheek. I feel a jolt of electricity go from my cheek and down my spine. My heart blooms at the action, thinking that he possible might not reject me.
“What is your name, Mate?” Zithanial asks in a low voice, but not the same one he spoke to Saxon in, this tone was much more gentler.
He called us his Mate! My Wolf cries.
No, he said ‘Mate’ not ‘His Mate.’ I argue, I am not really to take the leap and think that maybe he will accept us just yet.
“Mate,” Zithanial says as he strokes his thumb across my cheek, breaking me out of talking with my Wolf. “You name please, while I do enjoy calling you my Mate. I would like to call you your name very now and then.”
See he wants to keep us! My Wolf yells at me.
He wants to know my name.
But I can’t speck, if I speck I get hurt. I start to panic, my eyes going wide and my breath coming short.
Zithanial sees this, “What is wrong Mate? What the matter?”
He called me Mate again and I can’t say it back.
Zithanial turns around and sees that Adrain is still in the room with a pained look on his face.
“What is happening? Why won’t my Mate answer me? Who is she and why won’t my Mate talk to me? Zithanial shouts at Adrian as he brings my body closer to his, so much so that my body is engulfed in his. Like a protective shell.
“Amelia. You Mate is Amelia. My Sister.” Adrain answers respectively looking down from his Alpha’s eyes.
“Your Sister? Amelia.” Zithanial says as he turns back to me with a giant smile on his face. “My Mate Amelia.”
Hearing my name being spoken from my Mate’s lips, sends joy through my body.
Zithanial turns to Saxon, who has been surprisingly quiet through this whole encounter. “But why did you call her ‘scum’ and said she didn’t belong here?” Zithanial questioned in a curiously voice with a deadly edge to it. I could feel him radiating Alpha power causing Adrain to submit, as well as Saxon.
“I- You seen- She-“ Saxon couldn’t get out from the Alpha power radiating off Zithanial. So I did the only thing I thought a Mate would do in this situation.
I wrap my arms around my Mate and rest my cheek on his turned back. I feel Zithanial relax slowly and the Alpha power fade a bit, but the commotion has already been done.
The my door is suddenly flung open, again, to reveal Alpha Stone and Luna Stone.
I am quick to unwrap my arms from around Zithanial, this does not go unnoticed by Luna Stone.
Alpha Stone quickly survey the room and assess the situation. “Everyone! Into my study, now!” He commands.
Adrain and Saxon scatter out the room first. I go to follow but am pulled back by Zithanial. I look up into his eyes questioningly with a frown on my face.
I feel a little more comfortable with Zithanial now that I think that he may not reject me, but I am still cautious of the situation.
“I am not letting you, you are stuck with me.” Zithanial says looking down smiling at me.
Alpha Stone clears his throat and Zithanial snaps his head up and seems to remember why this is happening in the first place. He sides his hand down my shoulder, to my hand and intertwined our fingers. Clasping my hand tightly Zithanial guides me along out the door and to Alpha Stone’s study with him.
