Marsai found her mate?

Marsai's POV

Tears dripped subconsciously out of the side of my eyes, I didn't mean to cry.

My dress was torn into pieces, I grabbed them together with my legs as I huddled in the corner at the end of the bed. He had tried to touch me. Fenrir had tried to force himself on me because I’d refuse to give him the satisfaction of seeing me beg. Beg for me—he said. I felt anger, intense anger that tore at my chest and squeezed my internal organs.

It was so deep that it made me weak, my body slacking off the wall I’d leaned on. I tried to scream as I felt humiliated and dirty, but I was too weak. If I wasn't I would have tried to defend myself, but I couldn’t. There's nothing I could do. I couldn't help myself even if I tried.

"Ahh" I groaned, swallowing the scream that threatened to escape from my lips. I had to get out of here, I needed to leave this place, I can't…I can't stay here anymore.

The pack held very little for me, except my best friend, Leah. I guess I could include her twin sister too. Such a pity, I haven't seen them since my parent’s sudden death, and Fenrir’s insurgency.

With that in mind, I threw all cautions into the wind. I took the last shred of dignity I had and pulled myself off the ground, pushing towards the bedroom door, I flung it open to take a step outside when two long spears crossed in front me.

What the hell?

“Forgive us, Luna but the Alpha had given specific instructions not to let you wander out of the chambers without his permission,” one of them said with a bow and closed the door in my face.

What the hell?

Who does Fenrir think he is to hold me here against my will? As the Luna, I now was, I had authority and rights too. He can’t just keep me locked up! With that anger and annoyance that had suddenly given me strength, I started pounding on the door.

"Let me out!" I screamed angrily. How dare they keep me locked up! "Open this door, right now!"

I knew they wouldn't let me escape, and I didn't have the strength to push past them because I was weak- both in my wolf and human form.

Exhausted, I unwillingly left the door to sit on my bed with a thud and ran my fingers through my long hair. It was still styled to perfection, but I couldn't care less, the only thing on my mind was how to escape the borders of my pack. I was desperate, it was more like a need than a want.

I haven’t heard back from the pack elder who told me she will help me escape, and I was eager for it. I will finally leave the claws of this wicked beast and if I am lucky enough, my mate will be from the new place I found myself. Fate would make us meet and we will be happy forever, then I will finally have a taste of happiness after every shred of it was ripped away by Fenrir.

I heard some inherent sounds coming from the wall a while before, but it was becoming more prominent now. I frowned because the voice started to sound like a continuous grumble or a loud annoying moan. Who will be moaning at this time when it wasn’t their wedding night?

It must be one of the patrolling guards – who probably had a death wish because he must be aware of the strict consequences of his actions if Fenrir finds him mating in his Alpha mansion. It will be bloody.

Infuriated, I dragged a pillow and closed my ears with it, but just then, the sounds got even louder. That was when I realized that it was coming from the next room, the same room that Fenrir was staying in…. He must have brought a woman over.

Curiosity made me scramble off the bed and leaned closer to the wall.

“Hmm…Alpha…argh…harder, hit me harder”

What the…what the hell?

I was shocked, what sort of insult was this!

"Let me out of here!" I screamed. I will not..I refuse to be subjected to such an insult!

The moans grew stronger, and I covered my ears trying to block out the disgusting sounds.

I ran to my wardrobe and hurriedly donned a new dress. I was going to break my way out, one way or the other.

I hated the fact that the moans and screams were getting louder, and I couldn't stop myself from screeching in anger as I pounded on the door again.

"Let me out!" I screamed. "You bastard!"

The moans from the next room echoed in my ears, I didn't want to cry, but the anger that was bubbling inside me made my eyes burn with hot tears. My throat was becoming hoarser by the second.

How could Fenrir do this? How could he embarrass me like this?

Sorrow, shame and pain rushed through me and I fell to the floor. They were not going to open the door, they were not going to let me out.

I felt so frustrated that I continued to lean on the ground tiredly. It was then that the scent hit me.

The smell of…. I know that scent. No, I don't know it, but I've heard of it. The scent made me feel light-headed as it stung my nose.

It wasn't possible.

No. I mean, it couldn't be…right? Could it? Universe, are you trying to redeem yourself?

That was the scent of My mate.

I know. I can feel it, it was something so hard to explain but I could sense it!

"Oh…heavens…oh…" I…can't believe it. After all this time…after all this time! I found my mate now? On my wedding night when I'm already married to a monster.

Are you trying to mess with me, universe?

Why was this happening now? Why couldn't it happen before? Before when I would have had someone to protect me? Why now?

Who was he anyway? I didn't have a clue and I didn't know so I couldn't just presume.

All I knew was that I was finally going to meet him.

While it was sad that I was meeting my mate when my parents were dead, and my position in the pack had been ridiculed, I was still happy that I found him.

Excitement seeping through my weak body, I sniffed around the room, following the smell to see from what side it was, as I had memorized the blueprint of the Alpha’s mansion in my head.

If he was at any side of this house, I was going to find him because of my enhanced wolf senses. It made everything easier and for the first time in my life, I was going to use it in a way that would benefit my future. The last time I did, I sniffed up Fenrir, who has been a monster to my pack. Gosh… thinking about him makes me livid.

I breathed down and forced my eyes closed, trying to concentrate and ignore the happiness until I saw him with my bare eyes. When I got to the door, the smell grew even stronger, and I made a desperate vow in my mind.

Nobody was going to stop me from meeting my mate, not the strong guards that feared a brutal death from Fenrir, not anyone!

There were only three men close enough to me, so I knew it was either two of the guards guarding my door, or Fenrir. I cringed at the thought of being mated to Fenrir. He was the last person I would want to be in love with.

I started planning a possible way to escape since I hadn't put the guards in my escape plans earlier. I knew there was no way I could convince them to let me escape, since they would have been threatened by Fenrir. The monster has every single werewolf in the Crescent moon pack under his thumb.

Once I opened the door, I let out an ear-splitting scream that startled the guards. I took a moment to suck in the air around them through my nostrils, but none of them seemed to smell like my mate- or even looked aroused. I lunged forward as I tried to scream again, my voice getting even louder and sharper, but the two pairs of strong arms resisted me from fleeing the door.

I kicked, bit, and punched them but they still overpowered me. We battled for long, but neither of them nor myself was ready to relent.
