His Feral Mate (#Wattys2016)

Chapter Six - Mate?

Fiorella's POV

He stood wringing his hands shifting from foot to foot. "Um, a mate is like, a um... soul mate" he muttered rubbing the back of his neck, not looking me in the eyes "it's chosen by Rhea the goddess of nature". Frustrated I grumble under my breath about annoying and psychopathic kidnappers who are talking cryptic nonsense.

"So... what's that got to do with me, Huh?" I question hostility colouring my words. An expression of regret flits across his face before it's gone again as if it was never there. Tapping my foot up and down, I wait for him to say something, my annoyance growing by the second.

Looking back up, I focus on what he has got to say. "Um... so don't get mad at me or anything but err" he whispers almost too low for me to catch "but you're kind of my mate" he rushes out in one breath. I stand there frozen, that can't be right I'm human not a monster.

You must be delusional, I can't possibly be YOUR mate" I sneered. "I'm human for goodness sake!" I yell throwing my hands up in the air. "How do you know that I am your mate, huh?" I asked. His confidence had increased after he told me that I was his 'mate'.

"Mates are drawn together and when you touch them you feel tingles." he reaches towards me and then puts his hand on my cheek. "See, don't you feel them?" he whispers lowly, his eyes a turmoil of colours. Taking deep breathes I shake my head, no I will not let him in, I closed my heart all those painful years ago, I will NOT open it now.

"What tingles?" I question as if I can't feel them, "I don't feel anything". His expression hardens becoming a blank mask. Stepping back I remove his hand from my cheek and the tingles stop immediately making me wish I was back in his arms. What is happening to me? Turning my back to him I walk away, shutting down my heart. It becomes ice cold, frozen and encased in concrete, an object that is incapable of love.

I stop when I reach the kitchen and find him in there. "What's your name mina?" he inquires, "mina?" he says in an annoyingly high voice "Mina, answer me" he keeps this up for the next 10 minutes.

Finally I snap "Arghh! My name is Fiorella, happy now?"

"Very, dear Fiorella" he responds smugly, when he says my name a shiver runs through my body. Wow, what just happened? Reaching over the bench I grab the vegemite, butter and some bread. Sitting back down I notice Raphael staring at me.

"What?" I question with a mouthful of food. He ignores my question and goes back to whatever he was doing before. Mm... vegemite, I haven't had this in forever. Scarfing my food down, I finish and look around for Raphael who had disappeared sometime during my breakfast.

Walking down the hallway I hear murmuring coming from behind a closed door, cautiously I put my ear up to it and lean in.

"Alpha, rogues have been sighted on the north border and have effectively been dealt with."

"So why are you telling me this?" I hear Raphael ask.

"We captured one rogue and questioned it. It said they were looking for a taiga shifter, which as you know are thought to be extinct. They were also saying that we have one on our lands."

"WHAT!" Raphael suddenly screams, "How can that be if they are extinct" I gasp covering my mouth in panic I listen closely.

"Wait did you hear that" the other man says. I start slowly backing away from the door and then twist and run off down the hall.

What did he mean taiga shifter? Slowing down, I stop running and walk away from my previous location mulling over what they had said.
