Mate?

CHAPTER 5

Mate?

Bobby dashed through the door, slightly upset about the new information he just discovered.

"Who is he? You have to tell me." Becca pressed on, following him behind.

She had just asked who Alpha Jared was, she managed to have heard his voice and she was sure he was the same man in her dreams. Bobby was angry about everything in his life. Not only did the moon goddess make them HB for the mistake an Alpha made, she still had to take his poor niece's parents and also mate them to the same man, or so he thought. If Alpha Jared was who Becca thought he was, then things were going to be more complicated than he thought.

Finally reaching the end of the room, he stopped dead in his tracks, he wanted to shout, growl, hit someone or something, he wanted to feel pain, a pain that surpassed the one he felt at the moment. He clenched his fists, his hands rested motionlessly at the side of his body. His jaw ticked as he tried to force the tears back in. He wanted things to be alright. He wanted a pack to accept him and his family, he wanted a mate of his own and he wished so much that Becca was not a part of the dark sides of this life.

"Dad," Becca whispered out. He was still standing in his position, backing her.

"I'm sorry." He finally spoke up, blinking back the tears in his eyes before turning to look at her. "I'll tell you what you need to know." He said, pulling her arm so she could follow him to the living room.

"Alpha Jared is as you hear in his name, an Alpha. He owns a pack at the very far end of this forest. You probably heard his voice because he came closer to our territory." Bobby explained, for once he never looked away from his feet.

"He's my mate, isn't he?" she asked but Bobby never replied, not knowing what to tell her. She was so sure about what she knew, he did not want to hurt her at all. "That's a good thing isn't it, he'll–"

"He's mated to someone else." Bobby blurted out and she froze. For some reason she didn't understand why the information caused a deep pain in her heart. She felt like a knife was sent through her chest and her body was not healing it. The nightmares she had, the feelings the voice in her head made her feel. She never even thought about him being mated already. She remained silent, she got her heart broken even before she was able to know and meet her mate.

The thought of another woman touching him made a growl erupt from her, her grip around the arm of the wooden chair tightened till the wood cracked. Bobby sensed her anger, he could not blame her. If she really was mated to the guy she had the right to be angry. But little did she know he was only mated to her own sister. And if her sister too was mated to the same man, she would not want to step down easily.

"Becca, you need to calm down, if you're able to understand and use your wolf side well, there's a big chance that you can get your mate." He lied to her, hoping it was good enough to motivate her. He knew that there was no way she could beat her sister in a fight even if they tried, her sister was PB and was stronger. But he needed her to be concentrated on her growth, Incase there was an attack. The pack Alphas wanted to send the weak warriors out, meaning someone could come after them and he wanted her prepared to defend herself.

"You're only saying that to make me feel better," Becca's voice broke the silence between them and Bobby scoffed out, rising up from his seat.

"Can we continue then?" He asked her and she sighed, nodding in approval also getting up so they

could both go back to the backyard.

"It's almost nightfall, I'll go get us dinner, you're going to rest okay?" Bobby asked, she turned away from him, knowing it was more of an order than a request. She wanted the rest too, he had spent hours trying to teach her to morph to both were and wolf, she was almost very good at it but she still needed to work on her stamina.

Without looking back, Becca made way to her room. She wanted to feel the soft but firm bed carry her again, she wanted to bury her face in her pillow and close her eyes. And she did exactly so. Immediately she was in her room, she slumped on the bed and let out a huff. The tension in her muscles relaxed immediately after the contact. Her body became tired to move, so she stayed put and within minutes, she was able to fall asleep.

Mate

Mate

Mate....

A voice kept singing. The environment was calm, there was a rose bush at one corner and the rest was just a filed, with low grass covering the sand. Becca's feet curled when it came in contact with the soft green grass and she just had to smile. Slowly, she walked towards the bush and bent lower to pick one. It felt so familiar for her, like she had been there more than a thousand times.

She was always wearing a short blue silky gown and her hair would always brush against her back. It was a peaceful place to be.

Mate.

The voice called out again and Becca abruptly turned around. Only to come in contact with a masculine figure. Just as other times, he was shirtless, wearing nothing but a black trouser.

He moved closer to her and stared down at her, she stared back, her fingers curling up his bare chest on its own accord, feeling its firmness and enjoying the heat his body generated.

"Mate," she said.

"Mate," he replied before closing the gap between them in a kiss. Nothing else around her mattered, just the feel of his lips in her mouth. Her hands curled up the back of his neck, pushing him closer than he was. He grabbed her thighs and lifted her up, allowing her wrap her legs around his waist. She never once let go of his lips and he never protested.

Slowly, he laid her on the smooth grass, his kisses deviating from her lips to her her neck, down her collar bone. A moan left her mouth when his canines grazed a soft part of her neck. Her grip around him tightened and she began to tug his trouser. With a smile, he slapped her hands off and pins them above her head with just a palm. He starts drawing her gown up her knees, his fingers grazing her skin softly, making her shiver in delight. His hands slowly moves higher, teasing her thighs and making her hiss every once a while. Just when his fingers touched the hem of her undies, he paused. She looked at him, to his his attention focused on another thing. She looked towards the direction and she sees exactly a figure of herself, standing stark naked, smiling at the man on top of her.

Then he got off her and began walking towards the new figure who had exactly her features. Becca tried to reach out to him, but he seemed to be engrossed in staring at the other girl.

Then a tear slipped down her cheeks and that strange voice sounded again.

Mate.

*********

"Becca, wake up, it's almost midnight!" Bobby said. She jerked up from her bed at the sound of the voice.

"Um, I'm coming," she stammered, still trying to get herself. She stared blankly at the room wall, thinking back at the dream she had.

Subconsciously, she touched her panties, only to sigh, knowing how an ordinary dream had an effect on her. It always came the same way. She would be alone in the field, enjoying the calm and he would show up and sweep her off her feet, only for another her to intrude and take him away from her. She never really did understand why she kept having it, but it scared her. The way the man had so much effect on her scared her. She knew she enjoyed what he did to her, but at the same time, she knew it was a mere dream and it was dangerous to let it get to her. Becca just wanted it all to stop.

Shaking her head, she left her bed, picked up a trouser to wear and left her room. Immediately she stepped out of her room, she found Bobby, waiting patiently for her.

"You okay?" he asked, his brows furrowed a little as he tried to understand her features.

"I'm fine," she faked a smile so he would not change his mind about what they were about to do.

"You're ready right?" he asked her and she nodded.

"Yes, I'm ready to turn full wolf."
