My Unwanted Mate 13

 

MY UNWANTED MATE📒❤

   CHAPTER 13 

    • Jared's POV • 

It was finally my turn and I entered the meeting room. The door automatically shut on its own and I saw the old lady sitting opposite the wooden carved table. She had her back against me but I was able to notice her grey hair which was more shinier than it was before.

"You wolverine. I haven't seen one since today." She said, her voice strong like that of a young woman.

She must be using a spell because someone her age should be dead by now.

I coyly paced around before taking a seat on a bench. 

The whole place was heavily decorated with native ornaments like during ancient times.

"What do you know about me, mother?" I asked fixating my eyes at her back.

"I know this is not the real reason you are here but anyway... I know you are yet to be blessed by the moon goddess and it infuriates you." She replied and chuckled slightly.

She slowly turned around, our eyes meeting face to face. 

"Anything else..?" She asked wearing a smirk.

Such a playful cunning woman. Her response really hurt me. Ouch.

"What do I do to stop being possessive over who I'm not supposed to?" I questioned not returning gestures of her welcoming face.

"Does Tiana bite?" She rhetorically asked and i clenched my fist. 

"Doesn't matter. I just want to figure things out. Am I missing something? Is there somewhere else i should look in order to find my soul mate?" I persisted.

"Life would be boring if everything just got handed to you, don't you think? Why are you troubling your soul when you are still very young and have a long way to go, hmm? I can not give you a definite answer because the moon goddess is not revealing to me what you desire and I am unable to see your future. We just have to let fate take its course. If that would be all—"

"Wait." I immediately said and she paused. "Just check. Check your bowl..."

The witch squinted her eyes for a moment before looking into her bowl. Her face was stern but after a few seconds, she smiled.

"There is assurance of your mate. She is very beautiful too. Just be on your best behavior on the day you shall find her. Don't be so grumpy, alright? " 

I nodded uncertainly. 

I hope she's right about it.

"Alright, then. Thank you." I bowed after getting up from the chair. She waved her hand and I bowed again before leaving. I returned to the waiting room so find out Daphne had left. There was no sign of her.

She might have come to find out about her exam or any issue. I can't conclude but yet something doesn't seem right. I could feel it.

   • Next Day • 

   • Umbrie's POV • 

It was the day of teen exercise. The warriors would be the one to help us push through with the exercises and organize us. 

I came right on time to join the others for warm up. 

There was Ziporah, the oldest among us. She was very strong and had graduated highschool. She was quite fast with her education and I heard she would be going to college soon but she wasn't yet considered as a werewolf that was old enough to train with the warriors. There was a gap. She was mated to a human boy though and they are dating too.

Then there was Cassie. She has a beautiful wolf and is mated to Guy whom is also here for the exercise. They go to our school but we are classes apart. I talk to her like we are close friends here at the pack house but once we are out there, she's there and I'm somewhere else. I love her relationship with Guy. They're the cutest. 

There's Stone, the guy I thought I might be mated to. He's gorgeous with his brown skin and blue eyes. His wavy hair threw me away when I was still little. I could say I had strong feelings for him but it gradually faded away as I got older.

Lastly, Landon. A total jovial and kind guy, he is mated to Elena, whom is a year older than him. He panicked at first but right now, they are glued to each other and to think Elena is an early warrior. She's strong and I admire her great skills.

I was so happy to be wearing the cute uniforms giving to us, specially made by Alpha Damien's mate - Louisa whom was from another pack but she started staying here. 

Yeah, we were one big family.

I was looking around for someone though and that was none other than Keiran. Haven't heard from him all day. I keep thinking about that absurd dream which confuses me so much. If that I'd not the real Keiran, then who was he?

A question for no one in particular.

We started first with the race.

We first shifted into our wolves like we were thought to and then ran out in the woods after the gun shot was heard. I tried to keep up since I hadn't been practicing regularly.

I kept following the path growling and panting as well took a sharp turn. Cassie ended up falling at the turn and luckily, Jared was there to get her up as she shifted back to a wolf.

I howled uncontrollably as I dashed through the finish line.

Fourth.

I came fourth.

I fell on the floor due to exhaustion. I'm such a weak wolf. I felt so bad that I could cry. I shifted and we were immediately taken to change to fresh wears.

I saw Alpha Damien while walking to the next activity stand. I saw him earlier but we weren't close as we were now. He was holding onto Louisa so tightly.

"Have you seen Keiran since yesterday?" I asked him and he shook his head.

"I haven't. What's the problem?" He asked knowing there was obviously a problem.

I snuck in a quick breath.

"No...don't worry. It's nothing." I ran off so I can give him some privacy with Louisa since she looked like she wasn't feeling well.

One thing I know is that they're lucky to have each other.

Unlike me who is unlucky to have Keiran. I laughed at the thought. I should just crawl under a rock.

The next task was catching noises. Four members of the warriors wearing T shirts that said A B C D respectively sat in front of us and they all had their backs turned on us. 

We were holding a pen and paper.

The rule was, when you hear a sound, you put down the letter of the warrior you think made the sound and you also write what you heard.

It was tough, so tough guessing who spoke that it gave me headaches. I gave it my all..

Paying maximum attention. It was like I was having a spiritual connection with the sounds. Everywhere was silent...

Silence...

Then I heard 'o-r-a-n-g-e' 

That's right and it was coming from...

It was coming from...

Letter C! 

I quickly wrote it down with my hands shaking.

I could feel my ears twitching. It was going to help my wolf but still, it was a lot of stress.

After the section was over, we submitted our papers with our names on it. While we got ready for our next activity, the warriors marked our answer sheets.

When we came out for the next activity, our papers were returned back to us. I scored 5 out of 10 voices. It was low but I still felt a bit happy that I got some correct at all. I was expecting immense failure. No kidding.

And Stone got the highest score, 8 out of 10.

He must be a were-wizard!

We did push ups in order to strengthen our muscles in our human form. It'll help us shift better.

We stretched and the warriors helped us out with the exercise. 

The last activity after so many other things was getting our furs messaged. We shifted and our furs was rubbed on sensitively. That was the best activity among the others.

While we concluded, Guy and I carried a basket full of water to share to the warriors. I was handing them out nicely when I got to the Beta, Clint. He saw me that day at the club. And that's all.. Haven't really spoken to him.

I offered him a bottle of water but he ignored me and took one from Guy. I scoffed and brushed past him.

He is the least of my problems right now and he didn't even know exactly what went down that day.

I heard him stutter and point fingers at me but I didn't pay any attention to him.

Guy laughed while walking behind me.

I'm not usually rude but I was exhausted and frustrated. Keiran frustrates me.

He is the mate I didn't want. Or maybe didn't need.

I wish the moon goddess gave Jared a mate rather than give me one that keeps haunting me in a bad way.

After sharing the water, I grabbed my back pack and left the pack house. 

I'm walking home. It was the best thing to do so I don't go home right now and yell at everyone.

The road was so quiet and I could only hear my footsteps. My mind couldn't stop from thinking about some of my memories with Keiran.

How he'd make me so mad and drive me crazy just because he was bored and wanted to hear my voice. I'd fight him but he never let's me win. And then he didn't ask me for anything, he'd impose whatever he wanted on me and that's why I'm shocked he wasn't as aggressive as he was. 

He was behaving like someone who went to rehab or something. Maybe I actually liked the way he tormented my life before, rather than the way he confuses me since he got back.

I won't give up. I'll get to the bottom of this. 

I decided to go to his house again hoping his mother wouldn't be around.
