His Wanted Mate

Part 8: "Regrets.."

Sunday morning. I had a feeling my head was going to explode. I will never drink again, I thought to myself. I got up and went to the shower, trying to sober up. "Good morning drunk head." Ruby said, and I had a feeling she was screaming. "Ruby please don't yell, my head hurts."
" I'm not shouting genius, if i was shouting believe me then your head would actually explode." I sighed. "Are you still mad at me?" She didn't answer me. "Fine, be mad." I didn't have the energy to argue with her. It took me a while to come to my senses.

I started to get dressed, put on shorts and a white tank top. I was going down for breakfast, I needed to eat something as soon as possible. Aunt Dani was making breakfast, grilled chesse toast. A wonderful scent began to fill my nostrils, my stomach growled, saliva accumulated in my mouth.

"Morning Dani." I said in a hoarse voice. "Morning Lana." Lana? Ooh-oo she never calls me that, don't tell me Aunt Dani is mad at me too. I thought. "I'm so sorry Dani, we relaxed too much last night. From everything I learned these days, the Ritual is getting closer, I just lost my mind and wanted to forget about everything." I said downed, and I felt embarrassed. Dani looked at me, yep she was angry, not like Ruby but she wasn't happy with me.

"Lana, I know that everything that has happened in the past week was to much for you, but that is not a reason for alcohol to overwhelm you, you know that alcohol is not the solution." She said . Her face showed disappointment, then she continued. "And especially to kiss strangers in the bathrooms." She added. I looked at her, my eyes widened. "Of course I found out, I find out everything." "Ruby, you traitor!" Ruby just looked at me in my head and rolled her eyes. "I know Dani I'm sorry, I don't know what was I thinking."

I said dejectedly, my eyes watering with tears. I couldn't stand the fact that I had disappointed them both. "Listen Bee, I know that everything that you want is to live normal, to have fun, to explore new things ... But you have to be careful, cause you never know who wants the best for you and the bad for you, especially you. I'm not mad at you, I'm just worried, the Ritual is getting closer, and I'm honestly getting very nervous, I don't want to lose you." Dani hugged me. "I know Aunt Dani, you will never lose me, it won't happen again, I promise."

"I love you Bee you are all I have." "I love you too, Dani."
" And now have breakfast, you must be starving."She said as she handed me a plate full of food and glass with squeezed orange juice. I dig in my food.
My aunt and Ruby are right I have to be more careful, but I still couldn't get that blue-eyed boy out of my head.

Unknown POV

I know what my mission is, I know I should take her to him, but my wolf and I have started to develop feelings for her.

From the first moment I saw her in the woods, her wolf was beautiful and she is even more beautiful, and that kiss, soft lips, flavored with strawberry and mint, the very thought of them and my mouth would start watering. She wasn't my mate, but Im so attracted to her that I can't help but protect her. But at the same time I cannot betray my father. He's so cruel, I wouldn't be surprised if he kills me just to get her ... I knew it was her when I saw her in the woods. Firstly she was a wolf, and secondly she was not marked. Everyone knows that she-wolfs can shifts only when they meet their mate. I wanted to marked her so bad, barelly contain myself, while I kissed her neck at that party, but I knew I can't. Dad would kill me on the spot. And I wanted so bad that she can be mine.I don't know what to do. I didn't even want to follow her and I could find out in a second where she lived and by now she would already be with my father, trapped.

Lana's POV

After I finally get to my sense a little bit, I went to my room and took my favorite book and started reading it. Reading books is the only thing that distracts me from reality. I can escape from my worries with books. "Hey do you feel better?" Ruby asked me. "Oh now youre talking to me?" I snapped at her. "You are angry at me?? Why?? I am just trying to protect you." Ruby said confused. "I know you're protecting me Ruby but telling my aunt I was kissing someone wasn't cool."

"I know, I'm sorry I was mad at you." She said dejectedly. "After all, where have you been all night ?" I asked her out of the blue. Ruby looked at me, her gaze began to flicker as if she was figuring out what to tell me, I guess she thought I wouldn't notice that she wasn't there because of the alcohol. "I can't tell you, I'm sorry." She said quickly, and curled into a corner of my mind. "You know what? I don't care I don't have the energy for it now, I honestly don't even want to know." I said and blocked it. I think both of us need some time to ourselves.

Nicholas POV

The ritual is in a week. Tension filled the air, everyone was excited. And me? The closer It gets, the more I got scared. Scared of disappointment that I won't find her. After sorting out the paperwork, I decided to go for a run, Kane needed it, hell I needed it too. I left the office, and walked down the hall toward the exit. Our kingdom was surrounded by beautiful forests, miles and miles to run. I started to take off my clothes, and let Kane take control. My wolf was Black as ebony, with neon green eyes, he looked creppy, but he was a good wolf. Kane started running, we cut through the wind and the forest, it was blast. Because of all the business around the kingdom, since I should be an Alpha king soon, we don't have much time to go running. This was the perfect opportunity for that. We reached the waterfalls, it was my place of peace. I've been coming here since my mother died, just to think and get myself.
