Black Rose

Chapter 9

Elise's POV

The wind softly blew in my face, bringing me into a peaceful mood. Laughter in the pack yard can be heard and though i would love to interact with some of the members, i need a moment to take a breather. Especially now that i met my mate.

I already made my decision. I read books especially the ones with our specie genre. I like to know and learn the perspective of people about us werewolves. Some books have mates reject the other and have different reactions. Some run away and come back badass, some commit suicide, some accepts and moves one, some denies the rejection. There are also some books where mates have complicated life and can't be together etcetera etcetera.

I won't reject my mate. Not now, not ever. That wouldn't be necessary. My mom told me that if i met my mate early i shouldn't waste time and no matter how hard life can get, it would be worth it in the end. My dad agreed with her, only making me promise that i would be careful and not to fully trust easily even though it's my mate.

I wouldn't be breaking promises to my parents.

As i continue to ponder and think over some stuff other than my mate, i felt a presence beside me. Without having to turn around i could already tell who it is.
His scent already imprinted in my mind.

"Hey" he softly greeted.

Holy shit, only hearing his voice and my heart is already trying to break out my chest.

"Hi" i greeted back, not turning to look at him, afraid that i'll melt unto him.
He continued to stare at the side of my face  with a cute expression on his face.
"Are you alright?" concern seeping out of his voice. This time though i looked at him. And really looked at him for the first time.

He is beautiful. No doubt about that. He has this aura in him that tells everyone that he is kind-hearted and would do no harm but when push comes to shove he would kill if he had to. One thing i immediately noticed throughout the meeting which commenced a little while ago, is that he has a ghost of smile resting on his face as if it was natural. Complete opposite of my neutral expression.

I feel my wall breaking down just a little bit to show my mate who i really was just for a few minutes.

"Yeah, i'm alright" letting a small smile rest in my face.
"Good to know" he answered back.

Silence enveloped us but it's not awkward like how i predicted. It was rather welcoming and i felt like we were drinking each other's presence.

He muttered something under his breath and if i were not paying attention to him, i wouldn't hear it. But the words cut deep in my heart and i was filled with a negative emotion. I couldn't exactly pinpoint what emotion it was because i hadn't really showing emotions for so long i forgot how it really felt like.

"Are you gonna reject me?"

This question somehow instilled a fear within me. A fear i was accustomed to when i was younger. Fear of abandonment. 

But i won't let it happen. I will fight for us. It was the goddess above who made the decision to pair us. And i'm a firm believer that what happens, happens for a good reason.

"What made you think that?" i asked with a tone indicating like it was the most ridiculous question. Well yeah, it is a ridiculous question.

But then i remembered how i reacted towards him. So cold. Uninvited. Unwelcoming. I didn't even bother to look at his way or acknowledge him in the slightest.

I winced then turned around to face him completely.

"Don't answer that. I knew what exactly."
He just stared at me curiously, no undertone judging in his face. He watched me trying to voice my thoughts patiently.

"I'm sorry" i told him to start off.
"I just don't really know how to react properly because i wasn't used to showing much emotions and i was also deep in thought all the while trying to pay attention with what's happening in the meeting."

He raised his eyebrows clearly confused and i knew exactly what he was asking.

"That's a story for another time" i said sheepishly.

He nods and sent a small grin in my way telling me to continue. Okay, i gained respect for my mate.

"I won't reject you, okay? Not in this world. That wouldn't happen. It's not just because i promised my parents but because it was my decision. A decision i made for myself. I will not be one of those main characters who will reject their mate because of some shit going on in ther lives and how they were just trying to 'protect' their mate. I mean that's bullshit ya know? But back to the topic, i wouldn't reject you because we were chosen to be partners for a pretty good reason and i wouldn't let myself waste time wallowing when i should be wasting it with you."

I stopped and looked at him and saw a soft  smile gracing his features. Then i said softly

"Rejecting you would never be an option. Not in this lifetime anyway."

A shift was made between us and i could tell that it will be a gateway for us to be closer.

He grazed his knuckles in my cheek and said

"You only talked and i already knew information about you others can't see because they chose to turn in a blind eye on you because of what happened. A story i would like to hear but would wait until you are ready. And for your information, rejecting you never has crossed my mind and never will. Because i already know that i will love you, every single part of you, flawed or not, just the way you are Elise." Then he proceeded to kiss my forehead. My name leaving his lips sending my mind and heart into overdrive by just how good he pronounced my name. Like i am something much more important than life itself.

And just like that, he wormed his way throught my heart without even needing to speak a lot of words.

Can we also talk about how freaking cute Ravien is?? He is such a teddy bear. Can i have someone like that in my life please?

Alright so now we know they won't rejdct each other. Pheww!! Well, i'd like to be different and have mates who reject each other and something like that.

We ain't even near the climax yet. We aren't even in the second rising action *sigh*. But i promise i'll try my best to write good chapters. I have a few good stories other than this to write too, but for now i wanna focus on this story.

Did i tell you that i'm on the mood for fluffy stuff lately?? Yes? Well i'm gonna say it again 'cause it's true. I'm turning into a fluff!😂

So what do you think of the chapter??
