He Still Doesnt Want Me(FanVersion)

"Be careful, she-she seems weak, what happened..?" asked Xavier in a strained voice. All four of us were walking behind the mysterious guy towards an unknown destination within the jungle. We were lost in our thoughts, when suddenly Ash slumped face down towards the mountain stones, before she could break her jaw, Raven scooped her up. 

"Hand her, over to me", Xavier ordered Raven. Raven pretended not hearing Xav and kept walking with Ash in his arms. "I said, hand her over to me" Xav asked in an octave higher than his normal voice. "Could we just keep walking peacefully, we have almost reached our shelter" replied the mysterious man. I was relieved that someone intervened a part two of "Ash is mine" debacle.

I have been completely jittery ever since we started climbing the mountain, and after the dangerous fight with the rogues, my anxiety has been skyrocketing. Adding to it all the growing concern and attention of both Xav and Raven towards Ash. I feel an amalgamation of irritation, happiness, anger, sadness, and embarrassment tbh. 

Xavier, I have deeply loved romantically and cared for and Raven although my mate, we've always had a friendship bond but never that 'mate-bond'. I was 'the' center of attraction for both of them, my friends and the whole school. Now it seems as if my bubble has been burst open. Raven's wolf has imprinted on Ash, he might not pin for her in his conscious human state, but his wolf longs for her, he even whispers Ash's name in his dreams. On the other hand Xavier, is trying his level-best to be the ideal mate and been going out of his way to ignore me .

Its been mentally and physically excruciating. I am at a point in life, where I really don't care about the werewolf society, the mean comments, judgments, I just want to settle down with Xav. Nobody understands him better than I do, nobody understands the equation we share, the love we have for each other. People might be quick to judge me for ignoring my mate, but I have always felt a natural pull towards Xav, and as for Raven, he is a really nice guy, but just not for me. I tried my level best to be a mate for him, but I just couldn't-. I feel that all my dreams of a wonderful future with Xav has been shattered to bits by this complicated mate scenario.

"Can we atleast get your name?" asked Xav to the unknown man. He muttered something under his  breath and pointed his hand towards a clearing in the forest. We walked towards a beautiful cottage in the middle of the of Mountain Jungle. It gave off mysterious horror-movie cottage core  vibes, the one where you usually walk in but never come out of. I tried to shift vile thoughts away from my mind and focused on the conversation. "Could we get some water for her please? She seems very weak" asked Raven. I detected nervousness and fear in his voice. It clenched my heart but at the same time I was kinda happy?

The long-haired mysterious guy asked us to wait, and went inside the cottage, only to return back within a span of few seconds. He had a metal jug in his hand, Xav took the jug from him and sprinkled some water on Ash's face. Ash moved a bit, and muttered "W-we are very near....." the words were fumbly and she went back to sleep. Raven tensed up and asked Xavier, if they could return and take her to a werewolf-specialty hospital. "That won't be needed, She is asleep and something seems to have exhausted her a bit, You folks can come inside and rest for the night, I will send a message to the Elder and you can meet him tomorrow".

James's POV:

"I am not gonna run away with your money dude, I am working part-time, will repay you with full interests" I heaved sigh of relief after the conversation was over with the bank customer care. Listen, I know I am a student, hence shouldn't be getting myself into loan ditch yada yada, but man I really love Hail, I would do anything for her. I bought her a 22-carat diamond ring, on loan money. I have taken up a part-time job to aid the loan and dad will help hopefully.

"James, Gamma Cameron has come to see you" shouted Mom. I cursed under my breath, Cameron will just not lay it off. "Send him to my room Ma". Cameron walked inside my room, dressed to the nines, with a visible 6-pack muscled arms. "What brings you here? May I ask?"

"James, I know you aren't happy to see me here. Just here me out once okh", begged Cameron. Love really brings you down to the level of shitz man. Look at Cameron, any man/woman would jump over a bridge to be with him, but here he is, once again begging me to take him as a mate.

"Cameron, we have had all the talks, There's nothing more left". "You are making an error in your judgement, throwing away mate bond is the biggest sin any werewolf can ever commit" replied Cameron. "Are you here to judge me threaten me? We have had this conversation for over a dozen times now Cam, when will you get it? I do not love you, nor attracted to you nor am I gay by any means"

"Is that your final decision? The fact that, you don't want to acknowledge something as beautiful as mate bond is beyond me? Moongodess has us paired together for a reason James". "Moongodess had lost her thinking power, when she wrote our fates. We are all clearly incompatible and not 'meant for each other'. Look at Xavier's scenario Cam, even though he now lives with Ash, do you really think he's happy?" I shouted.

He was deeply hurt with what I said, and flinched. He opened his mouth to reply, but then his phone rang.." Hey Jordan..Hi Alice? Hey is everything alright?" he furrowed his brows and replied, "What? Ash's Mom? She's back in town?... She's searching for her? Oh! No".
