Chapter Eleven

-Zoë Wesley-

The light of the room blinded me. I am awake and the pain in my heart is gone. Grace rejected my cousin. Why? But I should have still felt the pain. Someone kisses my forehead. I smell the manly mint scent of this man.

'You are awake. How are you?' he asked caressing my face. I stare at him baffled. Why is he here? 'You want something to eat or to drink?' I gently sat up removing the oxygen masked. I looked around me and a werewolf doctor approach me.

'Miss Wesley, I am Doctor Greene.' I just nod at him. 'How do you feel?' he asked.

'Fine.' I said in low voice. The guy gave me water. He's Natasha's brother, Nathan. I sipped on it that gives chills on my throat. The doctor had checked my eyes, my ears, and my heartbeat.

'She's fine now. Everything is normal.' The Doctor nods at Nathan.

'How many hours am I asleep?' I asked him.

'Six.' He said.

I looked down on my wristwatch and it is nearly two o'clock. He helped me slipped off from the bed. He even put my boots on me. Then he wrapped his arm on my waist while he is carrying my bag. We went outside in the corridor.

'I need to go.' I told him and was about to grab my bag but he pulls it away.

'Ah-ah-ah...' he shook his head mockingly.

'Cap!' someone calls and he turns his head to a cute guy in a soccer outfit. 'Practice at four.' He reminds. Nathan just nods.

'Let's eat somewhere.' He said pulling me to every direction we are going.

'I don't want to skip my class.' I rolled my eyes.

'Too late, we are skipping class.' He winks and we are now in the parking lot. He pulls his keys and clicked the remote and the Lamborghini red and black car's door opens. I bet it has a good engine.

'Where are we going?' I frowned at him.

'We're going to eat. Look, I am hungry and I bet you are hungry too.' He pulls my hand to the car. I get in and I can see that he is grinning.

We go into a fast-food chain named Danny and Mac. That was a cool name. We went into the counter and he asked me first on what I wanted to order. I told him that I want a big burger cheese, French fries, coke, and mashed potato.

'Two orders.' He told the girl in the counter.

I rolled my eyes on him as he wrapped his arm on my waist and pull me to find a table after paying the bills. We take the empty table near the glass window. I just lean on my seat crossing my arms and looking outside. The people are happy; they are seemed to know each other. The town is big and everyone here is werewolves.

I was thinking about our Kingdom. Are the people there like this happy and cooperative? I've been away from the palace for nearly eight years. I missed my aunts and uncles. They are Enchanters and Enchantresses. My father's bloodline had died that includes my Uncle Albert and Ariston. But I and Harris and Chase are the only ones left on my father's bloodline.

I didn't notice that our orders had arrived. I looked at Nathan who is probably staring at me since the time that we sat down. I snapped my fingers in front of him and he didn't even blink.

'Tell me something.' He said.

I settled our food helping the server. Then I take the burger to ignore what he said. He seemed lonely when I ignored him. He just sighed and picks his burger.

'You were from Blue Moon pack?' he asked. I just nod. 'An Enchantress and Huntress?' I nod again. 'What did you hunt?'

'Those monsters in the woods.' I simply said.

'You are still human. But why didn't you feel that I am your mate?' he asked taking a bit on his food. I chew and swallow then I speak.

'I don't have a mate. Drop telling me that you are my mate.'

'Hmm,' he chews. He was handsome I can tell. Also attractive. Those deep green eyes are beautiful and green like nature. 'I'll tell you, I don't have a mate too. Then I decided that you are my mate.'

'Stupid.' I rolled my eyes and sipped on my coke.

'I know, that's what I feel too whenever you say that you are mate-less. Every one of us has soul mates, even humans. But, the difference is, we know who our mates but humans don't know.'

I just bounced my head up and down and throw the fries on my mouth. He pulls my hand that is over the table and I frowned at him. He pressed it and stared into my eyes.

'Don't you feel that?' he asked. I looked baffled and I felt nothing but his hand.

'What?' I furrowed my brows.

'You feel nothing?' he asked.

'No, I feel your hand pressing mine.' I rolled my eyes. He sighed and released my hand. He seemed like thinking deep. I continue eating and looking at the cute little boy outside with his mother.

I remember when I was just six and we are in the town of our Kingdom. Mom and I were walking on the market and lots of people greet and bow on us. I will smile at them and waves at them. The town children are even my friends where we play a lot in the playground that my father had built on my first birthday. Chase and Harris with Sam and Gab will be there.

On the next Blue Moon on my seventh birthday, a witch from my mother's coven appears with hatred on my father and especially to my Uncle Albert. At first, I didn't understand what happened at the party. The witch blamed my father for letting his brother mated to someone who is not his mate. And that made me as her way of revenge. I was cursed to be mate-less and to feel every rejection of mates.

My mother put a spell on me too. She said something about a true mate that will break the curse on the 18th Blue Moon of my life. But I was mate-less and I know my mother's spell will never break the curse on me. I will shift to my werewolf form on the next Blue Moon. It will be my first to meet my werewolf that will be born on the Blue Moon. I was born in during Blue Moon and everyone said that I was special and the most important one.

'Penny for your thoughts.' He breaks my thoughts smiling. 'Tell me about it.' he said.

'Why should I tell you? We barely knew each other.' I sipped on my coke.

'That's the way to know each other. What do you think?'

'Well, I think it is hilarious that you take advantage of me while I am drunk and even marked me while I am unconscious. And we are just going to get to know each other.' I said sardonically.

He propped his right elbow over the table and leans his cheek on his hand. He cocked his head on right smiling.

'Don't say that I take advantage of you because you like it too.' He said cockily.

I sighed controlling my anger. My blood runs up to my head and I am heated up. The fries that I am holding burns by my fire. He just looked at it. I blow the fire and throw it on my mouth.

'That was cool.' He said.

'Cool? Are you kidding me? It was a fire. And fire has never been cool.' I rolled my eyes and sipped on the coke.

'What I mean is it was amazing.' He just stares at me weirdly while smiling. He leans on his seat picking his fries. 'So, your father is a Hunter and your mother is an Enchantress?' he asked.

'My father is a great Alpha.' I told him. He smiles and nods. He still got no clue about me.

'Then Keynes will be the next Alpha?' he asked.

'Keynes is an exception in this topic.' I said not to go far.

'Why are you not in the Blue Moon pack town?'

'I and Keynes had been from many places to find something. That's why we are here. We came from other packs to see how it is going.'

'And your father and mother? How are they?' he asked. I stopped and sighed.

'Underground, probably had decayed.' I said coldly leaning on my seat. He didn't speak for a while.

'I'm sorry.' He said sincerely. I let a chuckle.

'There's no response on that phrase.' There's a long silence and he didn't unlock his eyes on me. 'So, how do you react that your sister is Keynes' soul-mate?'

He shrugged and pouted. 'Happy. My sister seemed so happy and in love when she got home. She's been waiting for her mate.' I just nod on what he said. 'Since we had escaped our class,' he leans forward. 'Can you go with me to the soccer field?'

'What am I gonna do there? Judging the game?' I asked sardonically.

'Not the game. Judge the players.'

So, we go back to school at 3:30. He brings me to the boy's locker where some of the boys are getting ready. We stopped in one room where there are only a few lockers about five and it has seats and a blackboard. He told me to sit so I did. He went to his locker to change his clothes, maybe. Then I take my time on my phone sending message to Keynes. He was probably worried.

My phone rings and vibrates. He's calling so I immediately answer it.

'Keynie...'

'What happened to you?'

'Nothing.'

'Chase told me that you collapsed... His mate was about to reject him...'

'So the rejection didn't-'

'No, Chase had handled it telling his mate that she can't reject him.' I breathe relieved. That's why I felt no pain.

'That is a relief. Should I throw a party for them?' I can't help the smile on my lips. I was like Cupid on matching people and got hurt when they rejected each other.

'They will probably on their own. Anyway, I have dinner with Natasha here at our house. I wanted you to be back before six.'

'Why too early? It's your dinner with your mate. You don't need me. Besides I will stay with Harris we got a date.'

'Okay, just text me every hour and I will let you dated your cousin.'

'Thanks... dad...' I mock at him again ended the call. I stopped on the hunky that walked in front of me only wearing his jersey soccer shorts.

'You are dating Harris?' he narrows his eyes folding his arms.

I arc my right eyebrows furrowing at him. I rolled my eyes, and I have no clue why he is acting like that.

Is it because he was an Alpha of this pack? Well, I am the Princess of the Blue Moon and Princess of every pack. I don't take orders from others.

'If you are dating anyone, better stay away from them before I scare them away.' I laugh at his threat. He can't be kidding. Harris had royal blood. He should be more scared of him.

'Don't be stupid.' I stood pushing his naked chest away.

I was about to walk out of the room when he wrapped his arms around my waist from my back. He blows my neck that gives me goosebumps. The mark he gave me heated up in a warm sensation. This is stupid, and I hated that someone lusted me, and I can feel their lust. He smacked on my cheeks with his lips. I push him and wipe it with my bare hand.

'Say my name.' he grabbed me again from back whispering on my ear. He gave me goosebumps all over my body. He's freaking me out.

'Get off me!'

'C'mon, Zo... say my name.'

'I don't know your name.' I rolled my eyes lying.

'Impossible. Say it Zoë...'

'Nate-' Terence and Yves stopped from the door when they saw us in that position. He just gripped his arms on me, giving me no chance to escape.

'I think we had interrupted their romantic moment.' Yves murmur grinning. I tried my best to fasten his arms but, damn he's strong as the Alpha. The two had turned their backs with playful grins on their lips. Gosh! They are getting into my nerves.

'Say it, and I will let you go.' He pressed his cheeks on mine. It was warm, and I feel secure. I don't know why or how but, it was something new to me.

'Nathan... let me go.' I surrender with sighed.

'Say it again... just my name.' he whispered on the crook of my neck.

'Nathan...' I said softly. He released me, and I feel relieved. But I gasped when he twisted my hips facing him, and he crushed his lips to mine.
