MELINA

Chapter Thirty one

Melina’s POV
I snapped out of my daydream and spoke “welcome King Xavier, we shall proceed with the meeting now. Let us all move to the dining all. When Xavier passed by me, I caught a whiff of his smell and he smelt good. I chided myself “Mel! What is wrong with you, get a hold of yourself”. I walked behind as he and his Beta with some of the guards walked in front. The Beta was his second in command and he looked tall and very intimidating. They had their seats in the dining all. My parents also sat and so did I.

Xavier’s POV
Mates? I asked myself. A mate was supposed to be your other half, the person you should live the rest of your life with. It has been so since ages past when the goddess of werewolves also known as the Lycan goddess created a mate for herself. Since then, she had blessed every wolf with a mate. In the werewolf kingdom, I was supposed to have found my mate immediately I turned eighteen but, I did not. I was already thirty and I had given up on having a mate. Now, I found out that Melina is my mate. How could my mate be the reincarnation of a goddess? How could I be mated to someone who had that type of power.
All these thoughts were running through my head as I sat down. She did not help matters at all as she sat beside me. She smelled like roses and it was really messing with my head.
“let us eat and thereafter, we would have the meeting”, she said.
That voice. Her voice was so smooth and melodious. I was trying my very best to concentrate. I reached out for a fork at the same time she also reached out for one and our arms touched. I shivered and the funny thing was that I felt her shiver too.

Melina’s POV
The weirdest thing happened when I reached out for cutlery. It was at that time that I knew I had to excuse myself because something weird was going on with me and I did not know why.  I excused myself and went into my room. I entered the bathroom and splashed a little water on my face. I later went out and sat on my bed. The last thing I remembered before falling into a trance was my body hitting the bed.

Petals were falling, the sky was blue, it was so beautiful. I saw myself in a flowing gown with my hair glowing like the sun walking along a foot path littered with roses. I walked a little bit more and heard a voice
“Melina, Melina”.
I turned and saw a very beautiful woman. Her beauty was breath taking and ethereal. She had long golden hair which reached her waist. Her eyes were extremely blue like mine. It was there and then I realized she was Navistar. I looked exactly like her and it was amazing.
“yes your highness”, I bowed in respect.
“get up my child” she said. I stood up slowly and looked at her.
“You will be wondering why you are here. A lot of things have been happening these past few days that would have left you really confused”. She met my eye and continued “I am talking about Xavier”. I sucked in my breath and waited for her to continue. “I will like you to meet a very good friend of mine, she will explain everything to you”.
She held my hand and we walked down the garden. As we were going, there was a strong wind and then someone appeared. I saw a lady with enchanting beauty. Apart from her being beautiful, she had piercing silver eyes and long white hair that flowed down her back. Damn, all these goddesses were beautiful.
“This is Alycaneia, goddess of werewolves”. My eyes bulged. So I was facing the goddess of werewolves. That was extremely cool.
Alycaneia spoke up “Melina I have some things to tell you, come and have your seat”. The three of us sat and then she continued talking. “I know you have been hearing that Xavier is ruthless and that he is very wicked but I want you to know that all he is doing is a façade for covering up his real emotions. He is a very hurt child who has gone through a lot. You see, when he was quite young, he was very close with his father only for his mother to kill him in her quest for power because she wanted to have authority and take charge of everything”. I gasped but I waited for her to continue. “Xavier could not kill his mother. He could only banish her but, you understand how hurtful it is not to have either of your parents with you. The best thing he could do was to shut everyone and everything out and because of that, people labelled him as wicked”. She paused and then continued. “Melina, here comes the part where you are involved. You see Xavier is my successor, he is the most powerful wolf on the whole earth. I need someone who is the complete opposite of him to be with him and I found you. Sweetheart, you are the kindest, purest and innocent person the world could ever ask for and you are the only one for him. I want you to take good care of him and comfort him. To cut the long story short, you are his mate.
Out of all the weirdest things in the world, I wasn’t expecting that. How could I be Xavier’s mate. That was very hilarious.
Navistar spoke up “my dear you have to go back. It’s time for you to go back”.
I wanted to ask questions but the only thing I saw before I woke up were the smiling faces of Navistar and Alycaneia.

Hehehe...mates
