I felt glad about Laura and Mascot. Whatever I felt I had noticed about Mascot was all a lie now. He had a fiancee he would never cheat on.I went into my chambers to have some rest. It was indeed a hectic day and I was so exhausted. My back ached but I could only take medications.At this point, I wondered where the love ofmy life was. After all, Laura and Mascot were my age mates and they found love. Why could I not find mine?I let it go because it wasn't in my agenda to find love here. I didn't leave ice crest pack for this place just to find love. If I had wanted to get married, I would have done that with Lucas.I occasionally thought about Lucas and the offer he made to me. That man wanted to marry me because of what he would gain from me. It was totally embarrassing but I learnt it the hard way and I hope life was being unfair to him.I laid down on my bed as I reminisced about what had happened today. Was it all my destiny. Was I meant to have met Chad? It wasn't mere coinci
“How about you?” I asked him sharply before he could think of another question to ask me.“Well, I was born and brought up here. I'm a hunter too.” He said and I became glad. He could teach me how to hunt too.“You could teach me.” I responded and he didn't say a word.“I have to go.” He announced.“Now? So soon?” I couldn't let him hear how desperate I was for him to stay.“Yes, I guess we’ll be seeing each other.” He responded, winked at me and left.“Thanks for the orange juice.” I screamed after him.“You're welcome.” He screamed back. It was like those times in the movie when a woman would fall in love with a man. It was like a fairytale and I loved it.“I knew you would be here.”I turned sharply to see Laura standing behind me with her hands akimbo.“You found me.” I laughed, though unhappy that she did.“Yes. I did.” She sat beside me exactly at the same spot, Thorne had sat. “You weren't in your room and whenever you aren't in your room, I know you are here.”“I'm I really th
“What is wrong with you?” I questioned Mascot myself when I had met him in one of our training sessions.“Hi, Naomi.” He seemed so excited to meet me.“What's up with you?” I asked again and I could see his countenance change. He had been asked to teach the younger ones since he was much more experienced than them.“I don't understand what you mean.” He gazed at me, mouth agape.“You do understand me, you don't just want to admit it.” I told him, then left.I was really pained when Laura told me about her relationship with Mascot. Who wants to be treated like trash? I was sincerely upset with him and I needed an explanation. According to Laura, he was not the lovey dovey kind of person, but he always showed that he cared. Now, he doesn't even like talking to her, much more sitting with her. Mascot was a great help to me but I don't like the way he handles and treats Laura.Laura had told me that he would pick offense if I mentioned that to him but I knew I had to talk to him about i
It was so shocking that I lost composure for a bit that I was being proposed to by my friend's boyfriend.I didn't know what to say so I shut my mouth and stared in disbelief. What was really wrong with Mascot?“What's going on? Why are you on your knees?” It was a stupid question because why would anyone go in their knees with a ring if not to propose?“Naomi, I believe you are my mate. The one the moon goddess made for me. Let's get married.” He was smiling that at this point I thought he was just pranking me.I laughed. “Stop it, Mascot, I won't fall for your prank.”“This isn't a prank, Naomi. You mean a lot to me. You're probably the best thing that has happened to me for a long time.”“Stop it please.” I was feeling so ashamed on his behalf. “You can't do this.”“That's exactly what I'm doing.”“What about Laura? She's a good woman..”“Why do you always mention her when we talk? She's not my mate!” Mascot was boiling. “She's just a leech.”I could remember when Laura mentioned t
I didn't know and didn't care to know what happened to Mascot. After I sat with Thorne last night, I discovered we weren't meant to be together. I had important matters to think about and do, so why should I bother myself? I decided that I would go visit my father's clan again. There were lots of things I still needed to know. If I was going to take back my father's inheritance then I knew I needed to get a lot of people on my side to build a strong army.For the past two days, I had been avoiding Laura and still couldn't give her a good reason why I was avoiding her. What would I say to her? That her boyfriend was after me and not her anymore?I was waiting for the perfect time to sneak out of the clan to Shadowcrest, my father's clan, as usual. I didn't want anyone trailing me like the last time as Mascot did. After the incident that happened last time, I didn't bother to know where he was or how he was faring. That wasn't my business anymore.I waited for the sun to fall before le
“I hope you guys settle the issue. I thought he was a man you were interested in.” Diane explained.I was shocked at that thought. Why would anyone think I was interested in Mascot or think we were dating in any way?“I mean he was the one interested in you though, you just had this mutual interest for him.”I was dumbfounded and Diane knew it.“He was simply over you.”“He is my friend's boyfriend so it would never work for us both.”“Maybe he is your mate?” Diane suggested.“Is it even possible that my mate is in a relationship with someone close to me?” I questioned thinking deeply to myself. “I actually think I met my mate.” I said aloud to Diane but she didn't say a word.She only nodded and smiled. “Anything can happen.”I wanted to talk to her about my pains and problems but I didn't know if I could trust her. I stared intently at the old woman. Was she going to turn out like Mascot who I had trusted?She turned to me smiling. “You can trust me.” She stood up to go give the he
I was accompanied to the Alpha's chambers to explain myself and tell them why I had betrayed them.Mascot followed suit, pretending to look somber when he was actually enjoying whatever that was happening. I didn't care about him, only about the people that his lie would hurt.The Alpha sat surrounded by his elders, he couldn't show how hurt he was because he would be seen to have a soft heart and that was a disadvantage as an Alpha he was.“I am truly disappointed in what I heard but it would be unfair to you to listen blindly to other people and not hear you out.”I looked around first before speaking. I couldn't sight Laura when I began to speak but I knew she was somewhere in the crowd.“I'm sorry that it has to be like this but whatever you heard is not true. I am not a spy and will never betray this clan. Remember you accepted me when I had no one so there's no way I could bite the hand that fed me. I would never do that.” I explained.“If you aren’t a spy then who are you and w
I wondered if I was cursed or something. Why would I also have bad luck concerning things like this.Mascot who I thought was a friend was messing with me already, trying to make me lose the trust I had built. Now, Lucas was back again. I didn't know why he was here but I knew he wasn't here all the way from ice crest to joke around.“What are you doing here?” My eyeballs were about to fall from my eyes.“I came to visit my little cousin or I remember, you not my cousin. You don't even have a father.” He scoffed.I was rattled. Anyone could see that.“You don't have to be afraid. I'm not here for you. Have you forgotten that I'm the Lord of all. I go everywhere and anywhere.”I didn't believe him. Truly, he went and went whenever and wherever he wanted but how did he know he would be here.Wooooooh.The wind blew again and I cowered in the cold. It wasn't winter so I wondered where the cold was coming. I wished I had come out with my sweater to prevent the cold but that was not my ma
