Chapter Thirteen

―Zoë Wesley―

He had stopped the car in front of our house. I grabbed my bag and pushed the door to open. I didn't even bother thanking him or what... giving him a good night kiss? Hell! No way! I marched to the door when he calls out.

'What about good night kiss?' he asked smirking. I faced him smiling fake.

'Here...' I said while pulling my middle finger from my pocket. I turn back and open the door.

'I know baby...' he said peeving me. I enter the house slamming the door.

'Pervert!' then I marched into my room throwing my bag somewhere. Keynes might be busy in his room with Natasha. I push my shoes away dropping my body on the bouncy bed. The door opens and the hot Keynes with six-packs abs leans on the door with cross arms.

'Hey, so how's it going with the boy next door?'

'Nothing!'

'You seemed annoyed,' I look directly at him.

'Aren't you supposed to sleep with Natasha and mated with her?'

'We just eat dinner while talking. Nothing else... oh we kiss and cuddle... but it's none of your business.'

'Ahum...' I bounced my head from up and down. 'And what I am going to say is... it's none of your business too.'

'Princess you can't keep pushing him away... He's your mate now. He had marked you.'

'His true mate can break the bond.'

'Why do you keep this thing more complicated? Don't you get it, dummy?'

He was talking weird. I furrowed my eyes to him not getting where he's going with this conversation. I do not understand him. He keeps on giving me useless clues that are nonsense to me.

'Good night.' He closes the door. I sighed going to the bathroom to take a shower.

My phone rings when I was heading to bed. I pick it up from my backpack. I stare at it for a while. The number is unknown and I hesitate to answer it. But on my curiosity, I answer it.

'Hi! Turn around!' I turn around to the window to see Nathan waving at me. He was naked... not fully naked. He wears no shirt. He has that well-built body. I bet he was strong as an Alpha. 'Don't stare too long.' He teased me from the phone and I wave my hand that follows the curtains closing it to the window. 'C'mon babe! Open it. I wanted to see you.' I ended the call putting it on the side table and jumped to bed.

I close my eyes. My body felt stiff. But, I need to sleep. My phone rings my favorite song 'When I dream about you' with vibration. I can sleep on the song so I ignored it. Then it stops. After a few seconds, I was relieved that it's not ringing anymore. I make soft moans on my throat and hugged the pillow. I stopped and almost scream when someone breathed on my neck. I sat up and ready to smack whoever it is.

'Shh...' he covers his palm on my mouth for me not to scream. 'Hey, I wanted to sleep with you. Just this night.' He sat beside me removing his shirt.

'What the fuck are you doing here?!' I scowl at him in low voice. He lay on my bed pulling the duvet over his abs.

'I just sneak on your balcony... my wolf controlled me to go here.' He explains closing his eyes. He's crazy! He pulls me down to his naked chest and started caressing my hair. 'Just sleep, mate. Good night!' he was warm and I can sleep on his chest. But I have to stop his sanity. I pushed up myself from him. 'Zoë...' he caressed my face that sent shivers all over my body. 'I just wanted to sleep with you. Don't worry I am not going to do anything.' He said softly.

'I'll just sleep on the couch.' I was about to slip from bed but he holds my arm stopping me.

'I sneak in here to sleep beside you. Don't sleep anywhere but here beside me.'

I didn't know what to react to it. He was hopeless romantic and helplessly stupid! His true mate might be lucky to him. But I wasn't his true soul mate. I wasn't anyone's soul mate. I was born and live to be mate-less. That's what I am. Why he seemed so attached to me? Am I his true mate? I don't want to believe in impossible things. It was just so irrational.

I sleep beside him putting the cushions between us. At first, I can't sleep because I can feel that he was staring at me from my back. He moves more close to me until I feel his face at the back of my head. He snuggled his face at the back of my head smelling me. I close my eyes...it felt so warm and the heat of his breath sent me shivers.

'You didn't look like Keynes... You have black hair, he had a blonde one.' He murmurs.

'Shut up and sleep.'

'My wolf doesn't want to. He wanted you...'

'You are already there beside me... against my will... So stop harassing me.'

He didn't stop. He forced me to lay my back on the mattress and he astride his legs at both of my sides to corner me. He pressed his forearms on the mattress to hold on his weight before I got smashed. I glare into his eyes. It was dark and the colors of his eyes are burning. I can see his wolf into his eyes. He wanted me. I thought wolves hated to be someone who is not their mate.

'Stop me,' he said as he nuzzled his nose on my cheek, down to my jawline and down to my neck. He planted hard kisses on my neck that made me gasped an air. 'I want you...' he murmurs again and now he is invading my mouth, I just let him in.

His touch sent shivers on me. There's this new sensation that I felt. It was a tingle of current... or is it lust? He inserted his warm hand inside my sleeping shirt. I wasn't wearing any brasserie and he was going up but he breathes pulling his hands out. I was drowning in his kiss and I found myself kissing back. The more I reply to his kiss the more he got aroused.

'Zoë...' he whispers.

I had got into my sense so I had pushed him off. I sat up covering my arms on my chest. I was breathing hard and my adrenaline is pumping. My chest is moving up and down as I breathe.

He shook his head and his eyes are back to its natural color. He glanced at me confused. He lost control of his wolf that's why his wolf is in control of him. Tobias is the name of his wolf. I didn't know if I am wrong but I think I can see, hear and feel his wolf.

'You need to control Tobias.'

'How do you know Tobias?' he asked. I just shrug it and lay back on the bed. I cover the duvet on me and I close my eyes. I breathe and I fall asleep.

In the morning, I woke up with a warm touch caressing my abdominal. The warm kiss on the round of my shoulder wakes me up. He let soft growls on his throat. I looked at him and he was sleeping and his eyes are closed. But how did the hell he do that? Caressing me and harassing me?! I gasped when he scooped one of my breasts. I tried to push him but he was strong. His kisses give a small love bites on my neck.

'Nathan!' he automatically opened his eyes and our eyes met. His eyes are burning in lust and when he found his hand on my breast he moved back until he fell his butt on the floor. 'What the hell!' I covered the duvet on my body.

He blinks and sinking whatever he was thinking. He rubbed his eyes and breathes. Then he picks his shirt putting it on. He stood and started walking back and forth. I narrow my eyes confused about his actions. I tilt my head studying his expression. He was screwed up! He faced me and opens his mouth to speak.

'I'm sorry.' Then he runs to the balcony opening it and then he disappears.

When I got into school he was already there sitting on his chair at the back of mine. He was playing on his pen and he wasn't in his condition. I saw him tensed up when he smells me and feel me. He didn't look up at me. Embarrassed. I sit on my chair pulled my notebook and pen from my bag.

The discussion went well but, we are interrupted when Nathan excuses himself without getting a pass card. I glance at Yves over my shoulder, and he just shrugged.

In the Cafeteria, he is so distant. I just ignored him and asked Gabriel about his mate. They were cool and doing everything to fix their relationship. They just got into friends and dating. Then they will move to be in a relationship and to be bonded. Then Chase got into my mind.

'I am not talking to her.' He murmurs on his drink.

'Why?'

'It's just, she tried to reject me, and I think it's the best way if I give her space. She didn't like me... so I give her the whole space for her to think about it.'

'Did you try to talk to her?'

'No.' he shook his head. We all stopped when Grace had appeared in front of us. She was wearing skinny jeans and a tight shirt that hugs her curves and showing her flat sexy abdominal.

'Chase, can we talk?' she asked nicely. 'Please.' That! She used the magic word.

Chase just looked at her. So, I pinched Chase's side for him to respond. I told him to talk to her in our mind links. He nodded and stood. Grace walks leading the way while Chase is tailing her.

'Okay, cupid!' Harris put his arms around me. 'We need to go back to the Blue Moon Kingdom to face the Council of Lords and Ministers.' I widen my eyes on what he said. Keynes hasn't mentioned it to me.

I will finally go back to my Kingdom? I feel butterflies on my stomach fluttering their wings around. It has been almost seven years since I leave the Kingdom for my safety. Seven years since I had started my journey with Keynes to find something that he never explained to me. What are we looking for? A cure for the curse? But I never have the cure, and I don't exactly know what the cure is. The Black Witch gives no exemption to me.

'When?' I know I look nervous that's why they are worried about me.

'This coming weekend.' He smiled at me. 'Do not worry, the Kingdom and our people are in good condition. They were trained well. Falcon did well as he takes your father's duty.'

Falcon is Keynes's father and my father's right hand and Beta. He is strong and I trusted him as my father did. He was like a second father to me back when I was a child. Free, wild, and carefree child, I am. I have no worries, and everyone in the town is my friend. He and Keynes are always taking me to check on the town and the surroundings. He taught Keynes about the Beta's duties and also the Alpha duties since I am the only daughter of the King and the Queen.

My father and mother are planning for another baby but this Black Witch from my mother's coven had appeared and cursed me. She told me that I was mate-less all over again in my head. My father and mother are afraid to have another baby that's why I was the only one left to reign the Kingdom. The protection on me was tight. 24-7 protection is dad's orders to the werewolves' soldiers. From outside my room and outside of my veranda, there are soldiers. Everywhere I go I got someone beside me.

'Are you okay?' Sam asked. 'You look nervous.' I smiled tightly at him and nod. 'Don't worry about it. We are here with you.' He makes me feel better by messing my hair. I giggle fixing my hair.

'Okay.'

In the Music and Art room during the first period of the class, Chase and I had talked about his mate. He said that they go fine after they make out at the back of the school building. She was asking him that they should go out and make things fine. I feel gross when he talks about his sex story. She was a good kisser, and he was too... that's what he said. So they go along with their lust. I feel frustrated. I have to close my ears by putting my palms, and he just kept on storytelling.

Last night and this early in the morning comes into my mind. I glanced at Nathan is staring at me. He automatically breaks eye contact with me and nods on his sketch pad. It was my first time making out with someone. I never let any boys in my life when I was staying from other packs. I told them that I don't date, and they have someone destined for them.

Cat got your tongue? I asked Nathan through the mind link. We are bounded and we had a mind link. Besides, I was a special werewolf too but I haven't had my wolf yet.

Zoë... he looks up at me.

If you are still embarrassed about early this morning... well you should be. But no worries, I had forgiven you for scooping my tits. I said rolling my eyes. I see him flushes looking down at his sketch pad.

It was soft though. My eyes widen, and I frowned at him.

Just big enough on my palms.

That was so rude and gross of him. I obliviously throw my book to him, and it lands on his head. He looks up at me.

'What? You should be glad about it.' That's so annoying. I scramble to my feet and marched to him. I pick my book and started slapping it on me. He covers his forearm. 'Hey! Stop it! You crazy lady!'

'You! Are! Such! A! Maniac!' I put my anger on the book and him.

Everyone is watching us as I hit their future Alpha.

I didn't care who he is. He is so maniac, pervert, and douche bag and bastard. He grabbed the book from me. Some of the pages of the book had scattered and crumpled on the floor.

'Stop it!' he commands in his Alpha tune. 'Now be a good girl and sigh.' He orders. I just cross my arms, scoffing at his words.

'I don't give damn orders from others.' I said sardonically.

Chase is just there sitting while enjoying the scenario us. Chase speaks in Latin telling me that: Oh men, Princess... he doesn't know that you are the Blue Moon Princess. He's the next Alpha give a little respect.'

I sighed and went back to my seat as the teacher had entered the room.
