Chapter 16
Dean's POV
I stood rotted in my spot after I kissed Lia and nothing happened.
Like no connection, nothing happened. Adrenaline rushed through my spine as my chest tightened.
She was not my mate. The moon goddess had refused to remate us together after I had rejected her.
Then who was her mate and who was my mate? Although I still feel drawn to her. I did not know why.
I looked at her face which shone with a smile. She was really happy that she was not mated to me.
I am meant to feel the same way too but a pang of sadness missed with fear gripped me.
She looked at Luca, whose eyes shone with relief.
Were they mated together and refused to tell anyone?
I stood at the edge of the hall where they used to hold the ceremony. I watched as dignified people walked in.
Alpha and Luna are accompanied by their Betta.
I searched for Lia but she was not in the crowd. Maybe she went to change her clothes.
I sipped my wine as I smiled at the some familiar faces
I looked at the time it was six-fifty and Lia was nowhere to be found.
Where was she? Don't tell me she wants to be late for our first appearance as couples
“What are you going to do?” Lorenzo asked as he stood beside me. His hands were in his pocket while the other held a glass of wine.
“About what?” I asked my attention while still in the crowd.
“About lia. We both know she is not your mate” he whispered.
I shrugged “I don't know. I mean she was meant to be my mate. I wonder why we were not mated together” I said with a little bit of sadness in my voice.
“Who do you think is her mate? Could it be Luca” he asked.
I shook my head in disbelief “No, it can't be” If it was Luca he would have made sure he marked her and made it known to me.
“Then who could he be,” he asked, his voice masked with worry.
I knew why he was worried. I was also worried as well. We did not know who both our mates were.
It meant our pack was in trouble. I imagined her mate to be an alpha from an enemy pack.
It would bring in war as he would do everything within his power to have her.
Let's not talk about me. Although I felt relieved. It's not like I wanted to have a mate before.
I would be free to fuck with whoever I wanted without fear of commitment.
But with Lia it was different. After seeing her, taking in her scent. All I wanted was to be with her.
To make her mine and make Luca burn with unending jealousy
Tuah! Tuah!
Gunshots filled the air. Everyone scattered around as they ran for safety. Bodyguards protected their Alpha.
I searched around for Lia. She was not around. Lorenzo had already left my side to go and organize our men.
Luca's eyes went with mine. He mouthed “Have you seen Lia?”
I shook my head. He immediately drifted out of the hall even with the gunshot and for the first time, I thanked my stars that Lia had someone else who cared about her.
Lia POV.
Up until now. I thought only bad things happened to me. And to some extent, I felt it was true.
Like I had a one-night stand and got pregnant.
My mate rejected me.
I started falling for my husband's cousin.
Until the moon goddess decided not to remate me and Dean again.
I thanked the moon goddess within me. I did not want to go through the excruciating pain I went through the first time when he rejected me.
And I was sure that if we were related he would cheat on me again.
Immediately after the ceremony was over, I walked toward my room to change my clothes and put on something more Luna.
I knew that after a while, Dean would start greeting the other Alphas then I would slip to Luca's side to tease him.
I retouched my makeup, smeared my lips with red lip gloss, and sprayed perfume.
I made my way towards my corridor. I had to get to the corridor before seven o'clock.
Tuah!Tuah!
I heard a gunshot. It meant that we were being attacked. By who? I thought we were at peace with all the packs.
I immediately entered the next open room and hid.
I heard footsteps coming this way “ Search the whole room we have to find their Luna” a lethal male voice ordered.
My heartbeat increased as beads of sweat gathered around my forehead.
They were looking for me. I moved towards the shelf to hide.
A flower vase fell and shattered on the ground.
Someone immediately entered the room, pointing a gun around.
I peeped through the books and saw him.
“Where are you? Come out!” He shouted.
I sighed, what a stupid twat. Who asks someone to come outside when they know that they can hide?
Little by little he made his way towards my direction. My heartbeat increased rapidly.
He came closer and soon he was in front of me.
I stared in horror at the man standing in front of me. My heartbeat increased.
We were wolves, guns could not kill us but they made us weak.
And I was sure they wanted to kill me after all they were looking for Luna.
And then, amid this confusion and tension.
We stared at each other and chorused “Mate”
He stared at me in disbelief as he put his gun down. “Who are you?” He asked.
I swallowed hard, he did not think I was going to reveal my identity because I was his mate. Hell no!
He stepped towards me as my heartbeat increased, and heat oozed out from my body.
I was already reacting to the presence of my mate. He moved the strand of my hair behind my ear. He leaned towards me.
I closed my eyes as sensation flowed through me. I was already wet by the mere touch.
“Tell me who you are and I promise not to hurt you” he whispered against my ear. His hot breath fanned my face.
“I'm a.. I'm Luna” I whispered back.
He immediately drew back, his eyes wide with shock.
“How come you are my mate?” He asked with disbelief. “Are you not meant to be Dean's mate?” he asked.
“Dean rejected me once. We were not related” I said.
“Fuck!” He shouted as he punched the wall.
The door opened as someone entered“Finn have you found her!” he asked
In a split second, he hid me under the table.
“No,” he answered.
“Fuck!” We searched for her everywhere, “the voice said.
“ send the men back to the cars. Dean would soon retaliate” he ordered.
The other one left immediately after his order.
“Come outside” he ordered.
I came out of the table. He gazed at me. His eyes filled with desire.
He walked towards me and sniffed me in.
“I would come back for you,” he said and left immediately.
I heaved a sigh of relief. “Now who was on earth is Finn and what park is he from”
