Chapter 2 Mate

Chapter 2

Lydia pov

I quickly looked away from his gaze, feeling my heart pounding hard against my chest. I slightly moved my eyes at Alpha Damon, hoping he didn't notice what happened, but the way he looked at me told me that he did notice.

I checked on my wristwatch, it was a few minutes to the mating period. As much as I tried to calm my nervous heart down, it kept beating more. I don't know why but I was having this feeling that tonight wasn't my night. It will not end up the way I hoped for it.

"It's almost time, Miss Martin." I heard Alpha Damon say this and I looked at him. He's been searching for his mate for years now, two years to be precise.

Living alone for the last few years hasn't been a good one for him lately. Most times when he storms up, there's no one to calm him down, to do the duty of a mate. Sometimes, I'd try my best to talk to him.

Though not every attempt goes pretty successful, at least I always try my best to see that he calms down before I leave his room. One day, he talked about hoping I am his mate since no one understands him more than I do.

I do like Alpha Damon, but not to the point of having him as my mate. Or do I have to remind myself that I ain't ready to be mated yet? I just wanna face my life, my duty, and my future! I don't want someone to control my life, question every single thing I do, and ask me silly and numerous questions all in the name of submission.

I don't think I want love for crying out loud. I don't wanna feel sorry or worried or bothered about anyone. I wanna leave my life the way I want, enjoy my youthful age, and then wait for the impossible to come.

But I guess not all prayers are answered. Especially mine.

The bell was finally ruined everyone was mating response from their so-called mate. I felt reluctant, but then an eye looked in my direction. I was wondering why he was giving me those dreadful looks, his golden eyes pierced into mine and it felt more like he was going to bite me.

He growled hungrily at me. Then another growled, both staring directly at me. I looked for alpha Damon but he had gone to find his mate. It's just me and myself, and for a moment I felt weak to defend myself.

I'm a Beta who has no fear in her, but this time I did. Those type of fear that wants your Superman to take the risk of saving your ass. When they came running to me, I growled at them. Surprisingly, I didn't hear my voice, I heard the voice of the one whose voice had authority in it.

His growl was so strong that I had to step back. He was facing the two werewolves, and on seeing him they left. He took time to look at me, and when his facial appearance returned to normal, he finally turned to me.

"Mate." He said the word with so much power and respect.

I wanted to be sure it wasn't what I heard, or maybe somehow my imagination was playing games with me.

"Finally, I found you." He said.

I shook my head continuously, stepping backward away from him. "No, you're mistaken." I refused to accept the fact. "You're wrong. I am not your mate, I have nothing to do with you."

"You don't have to ignore the bond, sweetheart."

"What bond?" I snapped. "I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't feel anything about you. I don't want you! I don't want anything about you, okay?!"

"If you didn't feel anything, then why were you staring at me earlier?" He demanded.

"Oh, earlier? Well, I was only trying to figure out what's so important about you that Alpha Damon adores."

He chuckled. "Well, I guess he didn't tell you about me, did he?"

"Not interested." I blurted.

"I see."

"Well, Mr, I think you've got the wrong girl for a mate. Maybe you should search better for your true mate."

"I don't need to search anymore, I already found the one person I have been waiting for a long time. Now, I have come to take you home with me."

"I reject you! I don't want you any way close to my life!" There was a sudden pause in the hall, all attention was moved to their direction. "I reject you, Alpha Isaac. I reject to be your mate."

"That's not happening, Miss Martin." I was shocked he called me by my name. Did he just call my name?

But how?

"I know everything about you, sweetheart. Will you deny the fact that you didn't feel the same way? The heat, the anxiety, the steady heartbeat. Will you deny that you didn't feel the mating bond with me?" He asked, his hazel blue eyes sinking into mine like he was kinda of searching for an answer right inside my soul.

"I didn't feel anything for you," I said as a matter of fact. I shook my head at him. "I can never be your mate." A smirk played on his lips as soon as I said those words. I didn't bother, I walked out on him, heading to my room.

"Lydia! Lydia!" Called my brother but I paid deaf ears, running to my room. I slammed the door hard, bolting it so that Tom wouldn't have to open it.

I was so confused. Why would the moon goddess for such a thing to me? Why would she mate me at such an early stage? Doesn't she understand the fact that I don't want to love her?

And of all people, why does it have to be Alpha Isaac? Not even the usual werewolf alphas, she had me stuck in the life of a lycan king! A Lycan king for crying out loud!

And why the fuck did I felt those strange feelings for him? I knew those weird feelings were for him, but I couldn't stand the chance to accept the fact that they were for him.

Alpha Isaac seems to be every woman's dream. I noticed the way most she-wolves felt when they saw him, the blushes on their faces, and the way they murmured about him. But hell no! That dude ain't for me
