Troubles of Having a Mate

Chuntian laid her body on the bed as she listened in the comfortable silence of her bedroom. The scenes from her memories of the last night somehow flashed in her mind.

Everything around her was calm and peaceful.

It was at this peaceful moment she suddenly felt the sharp rage and fierce sensation, assaulting the depth within her soul. It was too abrupt!

Her drowsy eyes widened and her body automatically jolted awake. In a state of confusion, she could not help but mumble softly, "Why? What is this feeling--- anger and panic? But how?"

One thing quickly came into Chuntian's mind. Weifeng.

She directly went to the side of her room where a circular mirror was hung on the wall. As she stared at her face, she unexpectedly, saw her eyes glowing with darkness!

Chuntian immediately grabbed her phone and dialed Weifeng's contact number. They had just ended their call. However, she could sense that something was amiss!

"Could it be that Alpha Jinzi's emotions and my senses had intertwined... If it's not him... No, it should be him feeling such emotions! There is no other person that had intimate contact with me other than him," Chuntian carefully calculated while the screen of her phone displayed the information about Weifeng.

She waited for him to pick up and answer however, the response she got was from the network operator with a usual busy line spiel. Chuntian felt an emotion that was never part of her own. Some feel that she had never felt before. And for the first time, the situation disturbed her entire being.

With her call going unanswered, Chuntian opted of sending a brief text message to Weifeng: Calm down.

After the message was sent, she decided to check the local news while she would contact her father.

"My daughter, do you need something?" Physician Lan sounded tired on the phone as he answered his daughter's call. "Did the campers make troubles to you?"

"No, not the campers... Dad, could you investigate the situation of the Jinzi family?" Chuntian took a deep breath and hoped that her father would not ask why she was suddenly interested in the Jinzi family. No, in fact, she hoped that her tone would sound calm.

"Did the Jinzi family attack your residence? Did they take our Lan family as a joke? I've warned Chairman Jinzi already! How dare them!" Physician Lan asked with a hint of coldness in his voice. Something that Chuntian did not expect as a reaction from her father.

"Dad, I am not in trouble," Chuntian took a deep breath. But, at the back of her head, a voice was silently telling her that she was indeed in trouble. Such a situation was really problematic for her.

Yet, she was very reluctant to tell her father about what happened between her and the heir of the Jinzi family. Knowing her father's attitude, if the man knew about it, things would be more complicated for her.

"It's good that you are not in trouble. Then, why do you ask about the Jinzi family? Is there a reason why my daughter who was living away from the city becomes interested in their family? And at this unusual hour?" Physician Lan probed with a stern and firm voice.

But, this kind of voice was not enough to intimidate Chuntian. She even chuckled before she spoke her response. "Dad, will you check about their family? I am just plainly curious."

"Plain curiosity! Fine. Their heir was indeed an interesting Alpha. I will check what was going on in their family." Fortunately, physician Lan accepted her reason and agreed to her request. "My daughter, I will let you know tomorrow."

"Okay, dad. A-And, thank you for the advanced medical equipment that you've ordered for me. The black market delivered them easily."

As the father and daughter finished bidding their good night and ended their call, Chuntian tried to return to bed.

However, no matter how she tried to regulate the foreign emotions that she felt, she was still restless.

There was something inside her that almost as if demanding her to become violent! And she knew that it must be the Devourer Scent, the pheromones of Alpha Weifeng!

For the first time in her life, she experienced a sleepless night. And when the dawn breaks, Chuntian found herself sitting at her kitchen table, trying to figure out how to calm down the emotions that suddenly assaulted her calmness.

The wisp of silvery smoke dissipated from the cup of her calming tea. On the side, there were two other discarded teabags that she had consumed the entire night.

That entire night, she had 13 call attempts to Weifeng. It was crazy and was also something that she would never imagine doing. Yet, in her call logs, the digits were not playing her eyes.

"Having a mate is troublesome," Chuntian expressed as she exhaled loudly. She put her phone aside and drank the remaining tea in one gulp. What bothered her more was that the fierce and raging emotions were still present even though the night had already passed. Something that was too ominous.

After she finished her cup of tea, the phone finally vibrated. She coldly glared at the device as if some sort of hatred was developed overnight against it.

"Where are you, Alpha Jinzi?" Chuntian asked after answering the call. It was Weifeng who finally called her after too unanswered calls from her. Chuntian sounded clingy but she was not paying much attention to how her voice sounded. She was more angry at how this man, her mate, actually ignored her call the entire night!

"Uhhmm---" Even Weifeng was taken aback by how she sounded. Then, he released a deep sigh and spoke, "I left my phone inside your car... And I just come back,"

"I don't care what you do or where you go. But, you must manage your emotions. Do you have any idea how disturbing your pheromones, Alpha Jinzi? I did not sleep the entire night because of the unsettling feeling!" Chuntian exclaimed with a hint of bitterness.

Hearing this, Weifeng was also surprised. "You've felt it?"

"The entire night! It's like a sensation that was demanding me to become violent... the feeling of wanting to kill... You better manage your emotions next time! It's very suffocating! And my eyes were glaring with a dark aura... Hah! I've never been restless until last night!"

"M-My dad was shot. There was no way for me to control my emotion. Even if I want to control it I can't. I'm sorry if you feel my anger," Weifeng could only whisper softly while his hand gripped tightly on his phone. "I did not know that it would also make you feel my emotions. I apologize... It must have been a very awful feeling for you."
