"Come down Ella its just a process it won't even take longer than a week. Maybe he isn't even here" Jenna tells me as we peep through my bedroom window.
At twenty I know that it would be crazy not to have found my mate yet. I can feel it and I know that today I won't be as lucky as the past years have been.
They are here and I know that its either I kill myself or go with them. I can't leave my whole life behind. I can try to plead with him.
I close the curtains and turn to Jenna tears threatening to come loose. I throw myself in her arms and let my emotions pour out.
"I don't want to leave. He is here. I can feel it. Please don't let him take me."
She hugs me back staying silent as to take caution on whatever she says. I know nothing will go the way I want it to go but I still stay silent.
The sun is about to set and this means that the claiming today is over. A smile creeps on my face as I look at Jenna happy that we are still together. O run to my room and jump on my bed but no sleep comes.
I can't stop thinking about that wolf out there waiting to just come and claim me as his. Am used to my life how the hell will I get used to being a house wife.
This is surely the end of me. You know you can't do this.
I shut my thoughts out as they only add to the stress am feeling. I can't cry enough to make the pain go away.
I can't imagine how life will be with him let alone sleep with him. I have to find solutions to get myself out of this.
Morning comes quicker than I expected and I rush out of the house to check if my neighbours were still there or had been claimed.
A knock is enough and the door opens as Lucy comes to me. She looks disoriented and am sure I know the reason why.
"They are taking you aren't they?" I ask her as I look into her eyes filled with fear.
I was claimed yesterday and he will be here for me any time from now. Am not ready Gabi.
Tears roll down her cheeks and I can understand how she feels.
I close her door and head back home to give Jenna the news. Just that I don't find what I expect. A brown wolf stands in our sitting room as she stands in front of it legs shaking.
For a moment I can't form any words as a lone tear falls down my cheeks and I wipe it right away. I walk towards her maintaining my distance from the wolf as I hug her.
"Relax Jenna. Its okay." I tell her and stop in my tracks as we hear someone clear their throat behind us. I turn to meet the human form of the wolf. No...Jenna's mate.
He is quite handsome I must say but snatching her away from me like this is surely inhumane. But again ....thy are not human.
"Am Zane. Beta of the Black Arrow kingdom. And am here to take my mate with me. I presume you know what that means." He says as he walks closer to us and I move slightly away.
You coward how dare you leave her there. You are so stupid.
I shut my thoughts out as I move closer to her shaking body. Zane gives me a warning glare
I know this is almost wishing a death sentence but I decide to speak up.
"Please don't take her away from me. She is all I got" I say hoping for some bit of humanity from him only to receive a chuckle.
Jenna stills in my arms as silent tears stream down her face and sudden emotions run across his face but before I can even read them he masks them.
"She has to come with me. Time is running out Jenna" What....he even knows her name. This guy is surely a pyscho.
Jenna looks at me with despair in her eyes as she wiggles out of my arms. I try to reach for her but she stops me.
"I have to go bestie. Its my fate. Just take care" she says as she goes to Zane who has a big smile plastered on his face.
This can't be happening. Its crazy. I have to stop this.
I grab his arm to stop him from turning away from me and that's when I notice. Shit. I should have seen this coming. He is naked.
I sure knew something about this. When they turn back to human form. I turn away quickly avoiding any uncalled for scene and he chuckles.
"With all your bitchy attitude....something this minor shakes you" he says as he reaches the door. He goes still suddenly as if in some sort time coma then turns to me smirking.
This can't be good. Run Gabriella. Run.
For a moment I think he has changed his mind about Jenna but he doesn't let go off her hands.
"Please don't take her away from me" I say as tears now break from the wall that was holding them back.
"Well it seems like the moon Goddess answered your prayers. Because you are also coming with me." He says as he takes out his phone dialing some number and makes a quick call.
All this has me shaken as I stand there i n disbelieve and am sure my face reads clear hopelessness. I move clear steps back as if hoping to somehow vanish but hands grab me and am shoved outside the house. Surprisingly two SUVs have pulled up and am pushed into one as Jenna goes into the other with Zane.
This has to be some sort of miniac game someone is playing on me.
I try to console myself as I shut the door not even glancing around the car.
I surely at least deserve to die while eating some chocolate ice cream not in the hands of animals. A tap on my shoulder makes me scream as I now notice the man beside me.
He looks like the serious no nonsense type and my inner self shakes. He's eyes bore into mine as if sending a secret message.
I glance away quickly as I catch his scent. Some bit of lemon mixed with a little wild berry and I know that this is it. Its him.
He has claimed me. My mate.
I will ask you certain questions and I want honest answers. Am sure you don't want me angry.
He growls as his eyes flash a bit of black and I know that if its not death that I will face in the hands of this man then it will surely be a miracle.
I move to my side pressing against the door causing him to smirk.
He is surely acting like some sex starved dude. I sure hope he doesn't take out his frustrations on me.
He suddenly smiles and looks at me as if am just insane and I realize it. I must have said that aloud. Dumbass.
Of course you are right. Just that you will ride all those frustrations with me Ella.
He says my name and for a minute I zone out listening as my name rolls off his tongue.
I wonder what else he can do with that tongue.
I gasp surprised at my own thoughts as he smiles again and I know that he must have heard me.
We are mates Ella. I can hear all your thoughts about me. So no tragic airs please.
This is surely one crazy guy. My wolfs purrs in me and I wonder what must have caused the sudden reaction when I notice it.
How the hell could I not have felt this. He must have surely cast a spell on me.
