SIERRA"That means, you recognise me. Right, my mate?", he asks and that question wakes me up from my daze."WHAT?""All these sparks we feel whenever we touch skin on skin is the first indication of us being mates. It's okay to be surprised," says Fenris twirling the stray strand of my hair, completely forgetting the fact that my expression screams shock and not surprise."No .. No .. Sir. You are mistaken. I am not your mate. I cannot be your mate. I do not feel the mate bond." I say getting angry at this person who is trying to take advantage of me. I quickly move out of his grasp.He doesn't say anything so I look up to see what's got his tongue tied when he realises that his attempt of fooling me is failing. He has a frown on his face and appears to be deep in thought.Out of nowhere I feel like I should do something to erase that look from his face. I unconsciously reach out to touch the frown line on his face but quickly snap out of my daze and take a step back away from him.
SIERRA"Hey, what do you want on your birthday?" I ask Aztec.We are sitting in the dining hall having dinner. So far, dinner is the only time where I enjoy being in this training school. I get to meet Aztec here and be away from the prying eyes of a particular apprentice."As long as I have the chances of meeting my mate on my birthday, I do not wish for any other gifts," he says having a dreamy look on his face.My heart swells with the love I have for him. He thinks so highly of his mate. He would be so delighted to find that we are true mates. I am not a seer but I have the gut feeling that something life changing is going to happen on his birthday. I can't wait to see his expression when he finds out.It has been a week since that freaky incident. Since then, Fenris has kept out of my business. I find him staring at me occasionally but apart from that, I haven't seen him much. It's a huge relief that I haven't seen him in the dining hall especially because I get to meet Aztec onl
SIERRA"Open the door Sierra. We have to get ready to go to Aztec's birthday party," yells Tatiana standing outside our room.It is now 5 pm in the evening which means that the party for Aztec's birthday will start in an hour. I still cannot believe the fact that Aztec is not my mate but I am not dumb to know that those two were not lying about their claim of being mates.I do not want to go to this party but it would be considered as an insult if I do not go to celebrate a fellow wolf's birthday that is also my pack's future alpha. His mate will also be there standing beside him, the proud mate. Thinking about it brings tears to my already swollen eyes. I try to control my tears but I fail and start to sob silently."Okay now I am tired of waiting outside the room and listening to you sob relentlessly. I can smell your tears from here babe. Let me in. I might be able to help you with whatever you are upset about," she says and I know that she won't stop until I tell her what has ma
FENRIS"Any other wolf who claims to have found their mate?" asks elder Raoul as he looks first at Sierra and then at me. That day I had tried to form a soundproof bubble around us but elder Raoul, being able to wield magic himself, must have heard bits and pieces of our conversation.I try to control my urge to shout out and claim my mate here in front of everyone but I control my wolf and my urges. I promised her time till her birthday which means I have to wait for almost a year.It becomes unbearable to hear the greetings and congratulations the new found mates receive. My animalistic urges are much harder because we had to wait for our mate for 3 years and now, she rejected us.I curl my hands into fists and grit my teeth with a force so as to push my wolf in the back of my mind but fail immediately when we feel her eyes on us. Fuck! I can't control myself. I might mark her here if she stares at us with that sad and broken aura around her.I quickly make my way out of the hall a
SIERRA"Hey Sierra. How are you doing? How's your heart?" smirks Alexandria trying to get on my nerves but I have learnt to put on deaf ears to my packmates.It has been three days since Aztec's birthday, specifically the day he found his mate. From that day, Aztec seems to have forgotten that a girl named Sierra Boris exists in his life.Come on! I understand he found his mate who's not me but still what kind of a best friend is he? To forget me after he found his mate, he is so not a good friend at all. Since then, Alexandria has never left a chance to rub it in my face that I am not Aztec's mate hence, not the future Luna. Aztec now seems to take care of Avery, looks after her meals as he once did for me. The sight brings tears to my eyes and my already broken heart breaks a little more."Learn your place in this training school pup. Or do you want me to put you in it?" growls Tatiana who hasn't left my side since then. I am really grateful for her support. She is a great friend."
SIERRA"Your performance is certainly better than when you all first arrived here. Very good. I hope you all continue with this improvement in every other monthly test. Good Luck!" says elder Amaruq on behalf of other elders and leaves the exam room. Some of their apprentices stay behind to explain our next month's schedule on request of the elders.Fenris is also here and has been occasionally looking at me but as soon as our eyes meet, I immediately avert my eyes. I do not know why but I couldn't gather up the courage to at least show him that I acknowledge his claim.It has been a week now since my wolf's encounter with Fenris and I am still ignoring him. I do not know how to behave around him. I realise I have made a big mistake but I do not know how to rectify it. What if he misunderstands that I am accepting him only because Aztec found his true mate and I am lonely? It is partly true that I do feel lonely but I now know that I shouldn't have rejected him hastily. I kind of gav
FENRISI am such a fool. Sierra was finally acknowledging my claim as my mate. She no longer thought that I was some psychotic who was just taking advantage of her situation.But being an idiot, I ignored her. I ignored my mate!Her sad eyes and anxious face still flash in front of my eyes as I try hard to stand by my promise. Even if she agrees that I am her mate, I won't claim her till her birthday because of my promise.I won't interfere in her personal life till the time she becomes of age otherwise my promise or my word would not be considered of value.So, here I stand eavesdropping on my mate's conversation with her fellow trainees outside the examination hall. I am standing here, especially to keep an eye on that Alexandria bitch. The she-wolf knows that something is going on between me and Sierra but is dumb enough to see the obvious. It is better that she doesn't find out about me being Sierra's mate. I know for sure that this girl lives to make my mate's life miserable.I s
SIERRA I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on the door of my room. I try to sit up but quickly stop when I realise that I am naked. How am I naked? I look around quickly to see that I am in an unfamiliar room and it is a very small one with space only for a single bed and a chair. I quickly recall how I ended up lost in the woods and how those two rogues caught me. As the rogues come near me, I do not know how to escape. It is like my brain has stopped working. I just hope that I do not shift back into my human form due to my state of panicking. I look at them in fear knowing that they are going to hurt me. One rogue with sandy brown hair comes closer to me and crouches a little to reach near my neck. He moves his hand over my fur and his touch gives me nausea. "Won't you shift back for me princess?" he says and I try to move out of his grasp. He quickly grasps the scruff of my neck and applies pressure to effectively stop any movement of mine. From the corner of my eye I
