Falling For The One I Hate, My Mate

Chapter 20

*Skylar's POV*

We had our breakfast and Xavier hadn't come back yet. So I decided to ask Nina now about the mates and about these werewolves and all.

Me and Nina sat on the couch and she said with a smile, "Hmm.. now tell me whatever is running through your mind."

I smiled like an idiot because she just realised how many things were on my mind. I hated Xavier for what crap shit he had done.

"Okaaay.. so first question is, what are these mates?", I asked.

"Mates are like couples. It can be a lesbian or gay couple too, but don't worry, it is in rare cases. Your mate is Xave, and being his mate means that he can never fall in love with any other woman other than you. Only you can control his feelings and emotions."

"Hmm . . you have a mate?", I asked.

"No, not yet. Waiting for one but I am scared that Xave may not approve of it. He has always been the over protective kinda bro . .", she said with a frown.

"So, do I have to get married to him or something?", I asked a bit hesitantly.

She chuckled and said, "It depends on you but I really hope you both get married. I mean c'mon he won't be able to love any other woman other than you, I said right. Y'know, once you both mate, the best part is that you can read each other's mind. But since you're not a werewolf, only he will be able to do so, and he can let you read his mind only if he allows."

I frowned. Even I wanna know what's on his mind! . . . Wait . . who's gonna mate with him?! I ain't !!, I thought.

"Okay...but I hate him!", I said straight away, "Anyway, how do these mates 'mate' with each other?"

"Uh.. Xave will bite you when you are ready for it. Your blood will mix with his. And his mark will remain on you forever and you will be forever attracted to him!", she said happily.

"Ugh..", I scrunched up my nose, "Bite?".

"Yeah bite. . don't worry I've heard that the bite doesn't hurt, it just gives you a good feeling. . . I wonder where my mate is. . .", she said dreamily.

"Um.. okay", I said.

She switched on the TV and we watched some serial which she liked. I was not a fan of watching TV serials or whatever.

I just sat and thought about mates. What if finally one day he falls in love with someone else? Nah, Nina said that won't happen. I too wanna read his mind! . . . Eww . . I won't let him bite me. That's gross and scary.

I was lost in my own thoughts when the door bell rang. I stared at Nina, who just jumped off the couch and ran like a super woman or something.

I slowly walked towards the main door and saw a tall guy standing and staring down at Nina.

I walked up and stood next to Nina and smiled at the guy but . . They both just stared at each other like as if they saw a ghost or something.

I softly cleared my throat, but none of the two even blinked once. I cleared my throat a bit louder now and still they stood like statues. The guy clenched his fists.

I slightly kept my hand on Nina's shoulder to shake her but I heard a growl from the guy in front. He stared at me angrily.

Nina suddenly came back to life and looked at me. She just smiled and said, "Uh- Sky, I- I will be back in a minute.".

I didn't even have the time to blink that I saw the door closed and she had gone out with the guy.

What just happened? Is she okay?, I thought.
