The Unthought Fate [MxM]

Chapter 28

  I heard myself asking him "What is happening?"

  I knew some fell in love at first sight or are very attracted to one another, having great chemistry, but the speed and intensity I desired Calum was worrying me a little. I didn't mind it really, especially since he has not rejected me...not yet at least, but I could feel there was something missing.

  Calum smiled a little and carefully took a strand of my hair to play with it. I hadn't cut my hair in a while, since I arrived at the castle, so now was about shoulder length, curls galore.

  "How much do you know about fated or destined pairs among the species?" he asked me.

  Huh? That is unexpected and I don't really see the connection, but ok.

  I thought throughly at his question and I said "Not much to be honest, I only had my dad as a shifter, the only one I know, and he told me shifters can have a fated mate, but they were very, very rare and only could be sensed after 18 years of age in animal form, so many choose their mate and can have a maximum of two mates in a lifetime. And the supernaturals can also choose their partners, but theirs is for live. Um...about witches and vampires... I don't know anything really, sorry." I confessed a little bit ashamed. It seemed I am ignorant in many departments.

  "Hey, it's ok, I'll tell you." he said with a small grin and softly caressed my cheek. "Just like the rare shifters, vampires also have a fated, one in their lifetime like the supernaturals, but they can sense it immediately, the connection is in the blood, but only after 18 of age they follow that path, because their instincts are dormant until then. Witches or warlock, like supernaturals, can pick and choose, but can have as many partners as they want. For hybrids it's different, they usually have one of the two types that form them or a combination. So, in my case for example, I have the vampires way of finding a partner." he explained.

  Wow, this was so interesting! He knew so many things, it was absolutely fascinating. I had used to be a curious child, always questioning my dad, but then I got caught and I was taught, the hard way, that thinking is not for slaves, but now Calum was so willing to share with me everything he knew... a tingle in my stomach told me I liked this a lot.

  He took my hands and held them in his. His cold always makes me warm.

  He looked in my eyes and I could see he was a little scared, a little frown on his face, but eventually, he took a deep breath and he told me. "And I found my partner, but I don't know if I will be accepted."

  Hearing this, my heart shattered... like of course he had found his partner... duh, but at the same time, if he found his partner, what is he doing here? This is not ok...

  And that means... I'm just a play thing for him. It figures, it was too good to be true. Once he's accepted by his partner, he won't look at me again and leave me. I will be alone, again.

  I  felt tears filling my eyes, but I made an effort to not let them run, it's pointless anyway.

  "Oh...ok!" I just said and nodded my head. I remembered I was all soiled from the fun we had. Agh, I am so stupid! Stupid, stupid! I thought.

  This is a new type of pain, so powerful and overwhelming.. but why not, come at me pain, give it all you got, it seems there still is something left unbroken, so come and do your thing.

  I took my hands from his and started lifting myself from the bed, set on going to the water basin and clean myself a little, so I won't exit this way towards the shower. He was standing on the bed, not moving, just carefully watching me.
