The Betrayal of My Heart

Chapter 3

Nikki's P.O.V.

What the Fuck just happened? I keep asking myself this question over and over again. 'Who was that?' And 'Why do I feel so different?' usually follow right after. I'm so confused by the encounter with the mystery wolf that I can't stop thinking about it. I haven't told anyone about it, not even Kayla, because what am I supposed to say? 'I think I just met my mate'? 'Pretty sure he's the enemy but I guess I'm supposed to love him even though he wants to kill all my loved ones'? I have a feeling those won't sit well with anyone if I told them.

After I ran away from him in the woods I immediately found my brother and Spencer. They were talking to Alpha Jones of the Starfyre pack. When they were done talking, Oli came up to me, "Hey Nik, you alright? You seem kinda pale." Of course I was not alright, my mate is the freaking enemy! But I couldn't tell him that, so I simply responded, "Yeah I'm alright, just kinda tired after kicking midnight ass!" Oli couldn't help but chuckle. Ever since he taught me how to fight I have always tried to make my accomplishments sound like they're no big deal even when they kind of are considering I'm the only girl that fights in our pack.

"Nik you good?" Spencer asked when he came up to us.

"Yes, I'm fine! Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm scared after a fight. You guys should know this, it isn't my first rodeo." Whenever I want them to leave me alone or drop a topic I pull the 'don't treat me like I'm a girl' card, even though clearly I am. I just don't like when they treat me different especially since they don't do that to anyone else.

"Nik, you know we don't mean it that way, you just for some reason seem more shaken up than usual," Oli sighed.

"I know, I know guys. I'm sorry, I'm just really tired right now, I think I'm just going to head home and sleep. I do have the dawn shift tomorrow."

"Alright, see you at home Nik. Make sure you lock your room in the pack house. Last thing I need is my perverted pack watching you sleep," Spence called as I began to walk away.

"Wow Spence, totally not feeling very safe going back to the house I grew up in, thanks for that," I said sarcastically. The last thing I need to think about is the disgusting minds of all my pack mates. The mates I've only been living with since my parents died.

"Hey, I'm just trying to look out for you sweetheart!" Spence called back. I just rolled my eyes as I shifted back into my wolf form and took off for home.

That's where I'm at now. Laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, debating whether or not I should call Kayla and tell her about my mate. But I can't. If I tell her, then somehow my brother and Spencer will find out. They'll all start asking me questions like, 'where did you meet?', 'How did you meet?', and 'Who is he?' All questions I'd love to answer if only I didn't meet him in the middle of a battle and he was clearly the enemy. I also have no clue who is. A name would have been nice, but there was no way I was about to shift into my human form and be stark naked in front of this guy just to find out what his name is. I might be crazy but I'm not that crazy.

Eventually after thinking about my encounter with Mr. Mystery Mate for hours, I finally was able to doze off to sleep. Unfortunately I could still not escape the beautiful way his green eyes stared deep into my baby blues just wondering what he would look like in his human form. Would he be as gorgeous? I really had to stop thinking about him. He is the enemy. As long as I stay away from the battle front when we're fighting the midnight pack, maybe I can avoid running into him, and forget about all this confusion.

Because it took me forever to fall asleep, I was only sleeping 4 hours before I had to wake up for my dawn shift. I always liked the dawn shift because I always got to watch the sunrise. It is absolutely breathtaking, especially if you had the round that just so happen to be going by the lake when the sun was rising. I would take the dawn shift over any other shift just for the chance of seeing that view.
