My Mate's Fatal Scent

More than once I wondered what my mate would be like. Like every girl, he would be tall, strong,

handsome and responsible or even the Alpha of the whole pack. Humble as I am, also have the

right to imagine a bright future."Hey, Alice! Stop dreaming! How dare you think your mate is

the Alpha?"I said to myself, bringing my mind to reality. Actually, today is the day to announce

our new Alpha.

I stood in the innermost corner of the pack house, trying to hide my scent. In fact, I was not

allowed to attend this meeting by my parents. They said it was to protect me. But I knew the real

reason, since I was the lowest of our pack, an incompetent werewolf, or can't even be called

werewolf-- I HAVEN'T SHIFTED YET, while most she-wolves shifted at the ages of 12 to 15, and I

was already 16. It would bring shame on my family and even the whole pack. My parents didn't

want our new Alpha to see me-- the disgrace of the entire pack. But I didn't listen to them and

ran out of the house.

"It's okay! Just a look from a distance."I tried not to be so nervous. I just wanted to see what

our new Alpha would be like, that's all. And for safety, I hid my scent.

"There he is! There he is!"The crowd became noisy. I knew it was our new Alpha. I hold my

breath and clung to the pillars in the corner, craning my neck to watch carefully. Through

countless crowds, finally I got him -- tall, strong, handsome. Since he was chosen as our Alpha, I

thought he must be a responsible person. Everything about him seemed to fit my fantasy. He

was so charming that I completely missed his speech.

Then I saw my brother, Ivan, he is the Beta! Are they friends? I hardly ever heard my brother

mention him. And he turned out to be our Alpha! There were a lot I didn't know about my family.

I was alone in my room most of the time and always in a state of constant disconnection from

the outside world. My mind came back. Alpha was talking with his father and Ivan.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew open the window. All the lights went out instantly. Everyone in the

house was in a huge panic, including me. Shit!I can't hide my scent now! Because of the fear , I

didn't have enough power to hide my scent. And meanwhile, I smelled a peculiar and extremely

attractive fragrance, like a mixture of wind, sea,Tequila and blood. I knew exactly what it means--

It's him, my mate is here. I pretended to be calm, stumbled to the exit and was about to run

away. All of a sudden, one of the pillars had fallen. For a few seconds, I closed my eyes. But the

pillar didn't hit me as I thought. IT IS OUR ALPHA.

I opened my eyes, he was close at hand. This is the first time I have been so close to him and

looked at him so carefully. I even forgot to breathe. He has dark brown hair and sky blue eyes

which could probably see me through and behind him was the bright moon. I have never felt this

scent as clearly as I am now.The fragrance came again, the mixed scent of wind, sea,Tequila and

blood. Oh MY GOSH. There was a time when my fantasies were not just fantasies, they could be

so real. The man, our Alpha in front of me, is my mate. I couldn't believe that. Alpha must have

smelled mine as well. Everyone has no right to choose his or her mate, everything is destined.

They are all decided by the moon goddess. I had no reason why his face was so pale. Maybe for

what had happened tonight or maybe it was the shock after knowing who his mate was.

"Alvin, Alvin! Where are you! "I could tell it's my brother. Our alpha, the man in front of me, his

name is Alvin."He is looking for you, Alv... Alpha." Careless talk leads to trouble. I, the lowest of

the low, was trying to call his name. Some kind of surprise flickered from his eyes, then he soon

calmed down. He straightened his body up, and went towards Ivan.

Since then, I haven't seen our Alpha for a long time. He seemed to have disappeared. But his

scent was haunting in my mind. I was dying to see him. "Stand up,bitch. Leave my seat."A

nasty voice interrupted my thoughts. I raised my head, it was Sara. Like all the other pack

members, she looked down on me, especially when I was young. She often played pranks on me

with Tess. I didn't want to conflict with her, or that I didn't have any qualifications to argue with

her. I was about to get up, but found that it's impossible to get rid of the chair.

"HAHAHA! See how stupid she is!"Sara sneered, and the crowd burst into laughter. To be honest,

I had been used to this since I was a little girl. Tess, with her clique, always bullied me. But this

time, I got much angrier and sadder since I couldn't stop thinking of him, and his scent in my

head almost drove me mad. I sat on the glued chair feebly and my mind was in a whirl. That

attractive fragrance came again. My destined scent.

He walked towards me from a distance, with his Beta--my brother Ivan by his side. The crowd

went quiet at once. Everyone bowed their heads slightly to show respect,"Alpha."Sara also

looked a little flustered. However, maybe it's because she was bullying me, that's why she didn't

look so scared. As he slowly approached me, my body seemed to be on fire, and so was my face.

If it was just myself, I would feel nothing. But now, my future mate, the Alpha of the entire pack

was standing in front of me, and I felt my face burnt and heartbroken.

"Give your coat to her."Both Sara and I froze, can't believe what we heard just now.

"Sor...Sorry?" Sara's voice was visibly trembling, and I could feel her confusion and fear. Although

she has been bullying me all the time, but now I was a little worried about her cuz what Alpha

said was an absolute command.

"I don't wanna say the same thing a second time." A colder tone this time. Sara was terrified. She

took off her coat immediately and handed it to me. I took her clothes, tied it to my body and got

up embarrassedly. Alpha walked up to me under everyone's attention, bent over and said,

"Came to my office tomorrow afternoon, after your class is over." I nodded gently. I didn't know

if I thought too much, his tone sounded gentle.

After class, I went back home and found that my brother was also at home. He sat in sofa and

looked grave. I was about to ask him about what happened today when he suddenly stood up.

"Oops! You scared me!" Ivan got shocked too. When he saw that is me, he became kind of

relaxed. "What's wrong? You look worried." "Nothing." He always kept silent with me. "But I do

have something to ask you, brother. Our Alpha, maybe Alvin, he...... "Alice," He interrupted me.

"What?" I felt a little angry. "Remember to hide your scent. ALL THE TIME."

"But why !"I broke out completely. "You, dad and mom, all the pack! You always tell me

what to do, what I should do, but never tell me why! I know all of you guys hate me. I haven't

shifted yet. I lose all the pack's face! I know that......"I got too emotional, and what made me

much more desperate was that my dear brother doesn't seem to refute. I stood still and

couldn't think anymore.

I ran into my room, slammed the door, stuffed my head into the pillow and tears washed down

my face. I cried so hard and almost fainted that night. I knew there's something important they

didn't tell me.

The next morning, the sun shone into my room through the curtains and hit my face. Reluctantly,

I sat up and moved to the bathroom to wash. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and just

remembered crying until late at night. Damn it. I would see our Alpha this afternoon. Now look at

me, How emaciated I am ! Realizing this, I quickly washed my face and put on makeup. "No

matter what is going to happen, nothing could ruin your mood today, Alice, Cheer up!"Before

leaving home, I said to myself.

When I got into my classroom, Tess, Sara and some of their friends were around my desk. Tess

was sitting on my desk, laughing and joking with her friends. "Wow wow wow, look who comes

here."She said as she clapping her hands. I could feel the eyes of the whole class on me. I

ignored them and wait straight to my seat. Obviously I remembered what I said to myself this

morning when I left home "Nothing can ruin my mood, NOTHING.""Oh, girls. She seems very

calm."One of Tess' s sisters said. " Maybe we should wish the poor girl a perfect and

MEMORABLE date." "HAHAHA!"

"Alice, you......"The bell rang. " Shit."Tess seemed very reluctant, she never got tired of

humiliating me. She glanced at me with a spurious and went back to her seat. Our math teacher

came in and class begun. But I can't hear even a single word. Today's class seemed

abnormally long.

At lunchtime, I sat alone by the window of the canteen, too excited to eat. Suddenly I saw out

the window, a familiar figure in the distance just walking into Alpha's office building, but for a

moment I couldn't think of who it was. During the last class in the afternoon, the teacher called

me to answer questions, not surprisingly, I did not even hear what she said, the whole class

roared with laughter, the teacher's face turned red because of anger but I didn't care. If it was

in the past, I would be very depressed. But today the only thing I had to do is to keep a good

mood, and then waited to see him.

The bell finally rang for the last class ! I rushed out of the teaching building. Before entering

another building, I stopped to fix my hair and clothes, using the screen of my phone to make sure

my makeup was OK. "So ridiculous"I thought myself. I was super nervous and overexcited. But

it's not my fault!Who would have thought that a she-wolf who hadn't shifted till 16 would have

her mate who was the most powerful man in the pack. While stepping on the steps,I could hear

my heartbeat clearly. His office is on the 18th floor, at the end of the corridor. I walked

slowly to his office, it is kind of backlighting , and I felt the setting sun dazzling. Standing in front

of the door, I took a deep breath and got ready to push the fateful door open.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my heart and nearly fell down to the ground. What's wrong with

myself? I was not sure for the reason why I was abnormal, but my intuition told me it was not

good. When I finally made up my mind to open the door of fate, I found it unlocked. Driven by

curiosity, I looked in through the crack of the door. And I would never forget what I saw during

my whole life. The reason that made me miserable during my whole life.

I could tell that Alvin was sitting in his armchair behind his big desk. There seemed to be

someone else beside him. A GIRL, to be exact. That's when I remembered the familiar figure I

saw in the canteen during lunchtime.

Blonde hair, sexy body, coquettish gesture. How familiar! The girl who has bullied me for years,

even this morning. My body was on fire, not only for the bond between Alvin and I, but also

Tess' s provocation and ignorance. I suddenly remembered what she said during class,

"Wish you a perfect and memorable date."This was her plan, he wanted to humiliate me in

front of my mate, our Alpha. What did I said to myself when I was at home this morning? I smiled

sadly. NOTHING CAN RUIN MY MOOD TODAY. And eventually, it was the hero of the story who

ruined the ending.

Tess wrung her butt and put her hands on Alvin's chest. Her legs were trying to twine around

his waist. I can't watch anymore. It felt like that I fell apart, by my mate. Tess seemed to catch

my eyes, she simply sat on his lap. Next, I heard what she said to him, " Look, your mate is

standing outside the door,watching us make out."

My body was shaking, enveloped with anger and despair. When I was about to run away, "

Alice."The calm voice came again, just like the tone he said that day,"Give your coat to her."

Tears flowed uncontrollably, my heart was being torn apart. " Alice, come to my office. " I

couldn't say no to this familiar scent of tequila as my mate, and also his position as our Alpha. I

stood in front his desk, while Tess was standing next to him. It looked like she was Alvin's mate,

Luna of our pack.

I knew why she hadn't left yet. She crossed her arms and looked at me with interest. "Tess,

you can leave now."Alvin said. Apparently, she didn't think he'd let her go. Neither did I. I

thought he would let her stay in the room and watch me make fool of myself. She was shocked

for a moment and later said "OK, dear, call me if you miss me." Then she left his office and

went downstairs. She called him dear. But I AM HIS MATE!

I pretended to calm down, "So, what would you want me to do, MY ALPHA."A quick flicker of

complicated emotion flashed through his eyes. " I did have something important to tell you.

Remember to hide your scent all the time. Promise me."I was devastated, the same

order.Yesterday my brother Ivan told me the same thing, but didn't tell me any reasons. And

today, my mate, our Alpha told me again, and no reason again.

"Will you tell me the reason?"I asked him hopelessly.

"No reason."He said without any emotion.

"Ivan, my brother, your excellent Beta told me the same thing yesterday. And now, it's your

turn. You know that I can't refuse what you said. So,I promise."Having received my assurance,

he nodded gently.

"So, Alpha, do you have something else to say? For example, our relationship."I was so

tired,but still wanted to give myself some hope.

"Maybe not today, Alice."He stood up as he spoke, I had to leave now."He let me down again.

When he passed me, I could see sweat on his forehead----the proof that my mate made out with

other woman, and this woman happened to be Tess, who always bullied me and never treated

me as her partners in the same pack.

I walked weakly out of the building, everything around me became strange. I would have thought

today was going to be the happiest day of my life, but instead it became my new nightmare.

Over the next week, Tess and her friends bullied me harder than ever before. Since she knew

what happened that day. They cornered me in the washroom and poured blue hair dye on my

brown, long hair. My hair knotted, like my life, all was in a mess. Although I washed my hair

every day, some of the damage was irreversible. Every night I tossed and turned. It was unable to

fall asleep and most mornings I woke up with tears in my eyes and pillows.

One day, I was walking along school corridor. Suddenly, the scent I would never forget came to

my mind again. My blood was boiling. I knew he came back. He hasn't been in our pack house

for nearly one week. I followed this fragrance and came to a small cabin behind one of our school

buildings. I saw him. OH MY GOSH.
