MINE!!!

Chapter 13

*A little recap*

As soon as I reach him... He whirls around and hugs me desperately...

I feel the need to explain what he just saw..

"I-i..."

"Shut up and hug me"  Nate cuts me off...

Meghan's POV

As soon as I hug him back, Nate inhales deeply and I feel him tense up almost immediately. I shrug off the gnawing feeling in my chest by his actions

He probably never expected me to hug him back.

We stay in that position for a couple of minutes, my wolf is howling in satisfaction of being close to her mate.

After a while we pull out of our hug reluctantly, Nate's eyes are darker than usual, evidence of his wolf's presence and I'm sure my eyes are mirroring his own.

A scoff sounds in the distance and we are both snapped out of our mate-induced trance. A low growl sounds from Nate's chest and I realise why when I see Michael standing a ways from us.

He clears his throat before he speaks up..."And you claim to not have a mate yet, huh, Meghan" Michael drawls mockingly.

"I-i, gosh! It's none of your business, okay?"

" Yeah, it's none of my business indeed, but don't you think you should have told me that you have a mate before letting me take you out? Have you no self- respect?"  He tsked.

At this moment, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don't want Michael or anyone to know that Nate is my mate, and I don't want to deny Nate, he's my mate after all. I need to think fast.

A light bulb goes off in my head, I mull over my thoughts for a moment.

I'm having a sinking feeling in my chest, Michael is showing another side of himself today. He's probably upset that I strung in along. Actually I haven't been a good company to him all night. First I was late, now this drama.

But I can't let Nate and i's secret out in the open, a lot is at stake. A lot could still be going on as we haven't found out the  person behind the kidnapping of Nate's parents.

Nate squeezes my hand and I'm reminded of his presence behind him.

I have a feeling I'm gonna regret what I'm about to do...dear, moon goddess, see me through..

Mustering all the courage I could and squaring my shoulders.

" Hol'on there tiger, who said anything about me having a mate, Nate here is my long lost cousin, so who are you to go about judging me" I spoke with so much guts.

A bitter feeling filters into my chest, I can feel Nate's wolf howling at my rejection, faux or not.

Nate's anger rolls off me in strong waves, the denial stinging like a viper's bite, oh yeah, I can still feel his emotions because I still bear his mark.

" Then why can't you look into my eyes" Michael asked, hurt evident on his face.

" See, Michael, I know I haven't been the best company tonight. I'm not ready to be in a relationship now but you can't blame me for missing my cousin. You know what, go home, rest, we can do this another day, when you have calmed down"

" Okay" he let's out a sigh." Can I at least get a hug?" He speaks with a hopeful glint in his eyes.

I pause to take a look at Nate before going ahead and damn! His eyes are black, his wolf is fighting for control..

I try using my wolf to reach out to him. I hope he understands why I'm about to do what I'm about to do.

I take slow steps to Michael, mentally preparing myself for what is to come.
As soon as I get into a feet with Michael, he engulfs me and his scent swims around in my nose, I resist the urge to choke.. don't get me wrong, he doesn't smell bad, but with a marked she-wolf  __the scent of other male werewolves are almost repulsing... The keyword is "almost".

Ever so slowly, I reach my hands around him and embrace him half-heartedly. He takes that as his cue to bring me closer, reducing the space between us. With every second passing, he squeezes more, I'm getting uncomfortable with his embrace, breathing is overrated..

I try to free myself but he squeezes more..my wolf is clawing at the barrier of control, she's fighting to get free.

I see a flash of movement in my peripheral vision then all of a sudden, Michael is ripped off me and I stumble to the ground, taking greedy gulps of air.

In a matter of seconds, Nate is on top of Michael landing punch after punch on him. I know I should stop them, I know I shouldn't let this get out of hand. But I can't just bring myself to stop them, maybe I should let Nate show him his place.

I force myself to regain control of my body, and I rush to them and pry Nate off Michael.. or try to... Nate is very strong and muscular..

"Nate! Nate!! Stop it! Leave Michael alone!" I scream drawing a crowd of onlookers to ourselves but I couldn't care any less

Nate doesn't stop tho... Instead I see a blueish-black coloured wolf about to pounce on Nate, Michael is nowhere to be found and Nate is momentarily distracted by my continuous outburst so he doesn't see the attack coming..

I spring into motion and launch myself in between Nate and Micheal.
Suddenly pain explodes in my chest . I look down with horror as I see the wolf's claws embedded in my chest.

"Meghan!" I hear Nate scream but his voice seems so far away.

Black dots dance in my vision before the darkness takes over and the only thought in my mind was

Michael now knows about my Golden blood!!💀

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
AN: phew! That escalated quickly. Thoughts on Michael? Nate?.

Well this book isn't gonna be freakishly long like most books you guys read here on Wattpad... You know all those books with 50 and above chapters personally dulls my urge to read more so this book is gonna be between 22 to 30 chapters.

I hope you all enjoy it
