Another Choice

37

(Noah)

I have never expected to meet my mate so close to the castle. All this time she was here... When I think about how often we went here with Selina for the past two months, it's crazy I didn't feel her presence.

"We were not looking for her." My wolf says.

That's true but maybe we should have. I mean it's easy to say that, now that I met her. Erin is her name and she seems to be a nice person. She is a werewolf like me and she is 27, a year older than me. I was always scared to meet her because I didn't want to disappoint her by rejecting at first sigh. It would have been so unfair!

Actually everything went well, better than I thought. She thought she would never meet me and she moved on with her life. She is a Gamma female. She used to be the gamma's mate best friend and the grief they share after losing her pushed them together. They have two kids and another one is on it way. You have no idea how relieved I'm feeling right now knowing that first I didn't break her heart and secondly that she is happy. I need to thank the moon goddess to push her in his arms. My thoughts are cutting by my phone. Tom is calling me.

"Hey, Tom! What's up?"

"What did you do?" He asks me. He sounds angry and panic.

"What are you talking about? Where are you?" I ask feeling suddenly uneasy.

"In Anton's office." As soon as he tells me that I teleport myself there. Something is not right and better speak face to face than on the phone.

"What's going on?" I ask worriedly.

"Selina, I felt her in pain though our link." He replies.

"What?! I didn't see her since I left the meeting!"

"She went to meet you. She wanted to speak with you about an alternative for you if you don't want to be king." Anton says.

"What?! I never said I didn't want to become the next King." I ask confused.

"We can all see you're not happy." Anna-Lynn says.

"I'm the only one who can say what makes me happy or not!" I reply and I can see approval in Anton's eyes. It's a first.

"Focus! We need to know more about Selina in distress!" My wolf growls at me.

"What about Selina?" I ask Tom.

Why do I feel nothing?

"She shut us out!" My wolf explains.

"I don't know. She is not answering her phone but I can feel a huge sadness in her." He replies.

"You're sure you didn't see her?" Anna-Lynn asks me.

"No, I was busy with my m- FUCK!"

"SHIT!" My wolf comments.

"I don't like that!" Anton says.

"I just met my mate. And we were busy rejecting each other. She might have seen us." I explain.

"Fuck! Knowing Selina, she thought you will reject her." Tom says.

"When will she understand it will never happen! She is mine!" I say furious.

" She is very insecure because she wants you happy and she doesn't think you will be happy as her King." Anton says.

Tom nods and adds:" She thinks that you could choose your other mate for the freedom."

"This why she didn't mark me yet!" I say walking around the office. I'm just so furious!

"This madness is ending now!" I say punching the table.
