TWO WORLD'S APART

Chapter three

Whatever the future may bring even if we have to part, remember me...

SAYING GOODBYE

We had arrived back in the city when he decided to make a call home I sat down on the hotel bed watching him speak to a man who I assumed must have been his father.I could hear the happiness in his voice as he spoke every word with so much love and I smiled.It was very rare to meet a man who was so loving and devoted about his family.The men I had been matched up with were complete opposites of him.They were all the sons of important people in our society stuck up, rich,arrogant and egoistic.He was calm, intelligent, calculating and honest although his personality was introverted he emitted an aura full of charisma that made you drawn to him every word he spoke made you want to listen for more with anticipation of what he would say next that was the man who stood before me speaking to his father with a small smile plastered on his face.We were staying in one of the most luxurious hotels in the country which I had never been to before because my family didn't stay in the city.As soon as we had arrived in the city he had gone and taken his belongings from the hotel he had stayed for three days before he was abducted.There was no sign of any of his men since they had all been killed and not even a trace of their bodies found.He looked devastated and utterly torn I guess he was the kind of person who treated all those who worked under him as his equal and with that he gained my respect something few people got from me.He had finished his call and he sat down on the comfy sofa opposite the bed looking at me.His intense gaze gave me goosebumps and unnerving feeling.The man who sat before me was completely nothing close to the one I met on the ship.He looked more healthy and a little bigger than he had been his eyes held that spark that it had lacked some days ago now he looked intriguing a sight to behold.He belonged on the covers of the Vogue magazine and with his looks I'm sure even the Calvin Klein models would get jealous if he was on the runway.I tore my mind away from thoughts of his unearthly beauty and focused on having a conversation with him."My apologies for calling you my boyfriend and fiancee it was a shameless act from my part but if I had not I would have been arrested since I held your limp body in my arms,"I said.He nodded his head thoughtfully then his baritone voice spoke back to me."I take no offense in your actions nor words since you saved my life had it been some other person right now I would have been lying six feet under while my family wondering what happened to me for that I'm grateful for a second chance in life,"he said.I processed all his words and I smiled at him knowingly looking at his suitcase which was packed and everything else he needed for his departure was ready.He would be leaving that evening for the airport because his flight was at eight.I knew nothing about him and he knew nothing about me and I preferred it remained that way no strings were attached between the two of us for we were just mere strangers who met by mistake and chance.I wanted to ask him where he was from but chose against it if he wanted me to know he would have told me which country he was from but he didn't meaning I was not meant to pry in his life.The rest of the day went by quickly and sooner than expected I was standing at Jomo Kenyatta international airport while he paid for the taxi.After paying the taxi we walked together in the airport just outside the departure room when I turned to face him.He took my hand and held it in his saying something I couldn't understand I looked up to meet his lingering gaze and smiled."Thank you for saving my life I'm so grateful that you helped me get back to my country, I don't know if I will ever meet you again but if time allows and fate then our paths to cross I will tell you what I should have told you.You are a wonderful person and a good human being I wish you all the best in your life and I hope you find happiness wherever you go and please learn to smile once in awhile you look really beautiful when you do.For now we must part ways good bye,"he said.Remember when they said it's hard to say goodbye I guess they were right.I felt so sentimental when he spoke to me and I tried to calm down my raging emotions and the sad ache growing in my heart.Could it be that I had found the one who is to complete me but none of that made sense according to our customs everyone who found their other half could feel it in their bones but I was different from all of them maybe that's why I couldn't feel it.I had met thousands of people in my life but I had never been attached but him I just couldn't stop the feeling building up in my heart.He let go of my hand and walked away I stood there watching him leave as I whispered,"Remember me."I felt my heart break as every moment spent together with him played in my mind and I remembered him telling me that back home he had everything he could ever want and he had found his mate and he was so happy he was going to inform his parents they would be proud of him.Reality struck and I turned to leave when a tear dropped on my blouse then I realized I was crying and I wiped it away as I said to myself "He has a mate."

I walked into the departure room with thoughts on my mind as I completed all procedures necessary and I sat down and I waited for some minutes to board the plane.My wolf was screaming inside of me for how stupid I was for letting our mate go.From the first time I saw her I knew it was her.I remembered to the first time when we met on the ship.I had just woken up from my unconcious state shivering at the cold biting my skin I felt tired and starved but there was nothing I could do.There was no energy in my body even to lift a finger.I was curled up in a fetal position trying to keep myself warm I could not hear my wolf as much as I tried calling for him.I didn't know how long I had been kept there since I lost track of time all there was around me was darkness when I heard someone talking to me."Hi, I'm not sure where I am but I won't hurt you I want to know so I can get us out of here,"a voice in my head said.Fear engulfed every part of my body and I shuddered why they were back again were they going to hurt me again.Tears which had been flowing completely from the day I discovered I might not survive to see another day stopped.I looked worriedly around me when I saw her.Her hair was in black and blue braids she wore a dress lined with black and white, her fierce honey brown eyes stared back at me holding so much warmth that I felt like I was home.Her voice when she spoke to me was a caress on its own promising no harm would come to and undoubtedly I believed her."Is it you,"I said to her in disbelief I gave myself the benefit of doubt and it might turn out I was actually dreaming.Her dusk skin was beautiful courtesy of her African descent but she had no accent even as she spoke English.Her presence seemed to calm me down in many ways although there was fear in me there was hope which I had lost when everyone who I had been brought there with had actually died and I was the only one left for those ugly creatures to feed off from me.After a long moment of silence I decided to answer her.I told her how I was brought here but I didn't exactly tell her the truth."Flight 101 for United States of America is now ready to board,"my mind got back to the present when my flight was announced and I got up to board.The reason I had been in Africa was actually to make an alliance with different packs to help us defeat the Hidolf pack which was really powerful and planned on attacking our pack and taking over.What I didn't know was that it was also involved in the creation of those weird creatures who drank energy from other mythical creatures to gain more power.When I had learnt of that important information I was ready to leave Kenya and inform my father who was the current alpha of our pack about Hidolf's evil doings but that plan backfired since one of my men was a spy for Hidolf and he tipped them off of our next move and we were attacked and all my other men killed and I abducted.What I didn't know was a long the way I would meet with my mate.I discovered she was my mate when I drank her blood and immediately I could hear my wolf screaming mate mate but I was to weak.I didn't trust her because she was the one who killed that creature while I tried to fight them off to cut them but nothing happened even biting them didn't kill them but with them taking her energy it dropped down dead on the floor.I couldn't tell what she was but I knew she was no ordinary human and that was really bad since I knew nothing from her although after I had recovered I discovered everything from her was done with genuine affection I didn't understand if it was the mate pull or not but she made sure I had everything.Even when she was hungry she made sure I was fed and after she would eat what I remained.She was truly selfless but I couldn't risk the safety of my pack just for a girl I knew nothing about and that's why I left her behind.She was a mystery that seemed to not be easily unravelled.Even when I said good bye to her I could see tears sparkling in her eyes unspoken devotion lying behind those beautiful orbes.Stray tears had rolled down her cheeks which she seemed unaware off I did my best not to wipe them off although she wanted me to stay she made no effort to hold me back or stop me from leaving.Even when I held her hand the sparks were there the bond was so thick but nothing could be done about it.She never said good bye to me she only watched when I let go of her hand and walked away from her.The words she whispered to herself I'm sure were not meant for me to hear but even in the smallest of voices she whispered I remembered them clearly.Remember me.They were two words that held so much meaning and emotion that it moved my heart.I almost turned back to hold her in my arms tell her the truth but her words stopped me.He has a mate.Those words cut through me with so much pain more than a wolfsbane bullet fired straight through my heart would have hurt.Her voice felt so deafeated as if she was not good enough for me but it was for the best that's what I kept saying to convince myself I had done nothing wrong.Although, she was my mate it took every ounce of courage I had left in me to walk away from her and I did.
