Chapter 26

Elena's POV
The fire in my body finally died down, and I crashed to the ground with such force that I hit my head on the floor.

I shrieked and held my head, tears falling off freely. The pain was so intense, like a huge blow. It was strange and I don't know what happened. All I could tell was that I had just fought with someone in spirit form...

"I'm sorry..." I heard a female voice in me before it faded away as if it never existed.

"Who are you and what did you do to me?" I asked with a deep groan but got no reply.

"What happened to me?" I questioned that voice with a louder voice, but the silence lingered.

"Lena, who was that?" I asked, and she sighed.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I just don't feel comfortable yet. Your body was too hot for me to stay and your powers were oozing out. What kind of hybrid are you?" She asked, and I took a deep sigh, raising myself from the ground.

I collapsed on the bed, grunting as my head pounded.

Someone just used my spirit to fight or something. I don't just understand myself. I'm too weird and unusual.

Just as I shut my eyes, my mind flashed to him, Jason. His cute face filled my head, and I couldn't help smiling. Everything about him was so perfect; his eyes, hair, and nice jaw, so cute and charming,

My body shivered at the thought of how he held me tenderly. My body had gotten so close to him, the sensation of being crazy...

Oh God, I shut my eyes tightly, knotting myself together with those sweet memories, feeling in my head that I had forgotten the strange thing that happened to my body recently.

*************

Jason's POV :

Finally, the school bell rang for closure, making a deep sigh of relief escape my lips. I need to go back to him and rest in my bed. I'm so sad and pissed off.

Since I came back from saving Elena, I returned to school and just couldn't concentrate. I didn't hear a single word from the teacher. All my thoughts were on Elena as I wondered what punishment she might receive.

I blamed myself for not accompanying her back to her pack, where I could have been of assistance and avoided her punishment; I could have simply made up some lies and saved her.

This hurt me deeply, and I growled deeply, burying my head in my palm, her beautiful face filling my mind, and I foolishly wished I had kissed her at the moment her body was on mine.

"Would she come to that garden again tomorrow?" I mused and breathed.

"I pray she does. I need to ask her for forgiveness for going to the pack to plead on her behalf.

"Hey, Jason, where did you go after the break period?" The voice of Scarlett jolted me back to reality and I growled, raising my gaze to her sharply...

"What?" I asked with a deep frown.

"You left for somewhere after the break. I saw you. It was like you were after someone." ...who was that? " She threw another question at me, and I couldn't help but scoff before picking up my bag.

"You disgust me!" I spat, walking away with my guards flanking me immediately. I was so angry, recalling that Scarlett was also part of Elena's pain,

Fuck!

I got to my car and was about to hop in when someone held my hand.

What??

I turned around to see Scarlett, who was now standing with her brother, Dorian.

I stared at her grip and then at her.

"Get your grip off me!" I yelled.

"Jason, do you hate me?" She asked, and I was just so enraged.

I slapped her across the cheek with all my courage, causing her to fall heavily on her butt down to the ground with a heavy thud.

Dorian saw it and attacked me, but I caught his punch easily and headbutted him hard. He fell off with a deep groan.

I stared at them with my eyes bloodshot. Her voice resounded in my memories. She had run away from that garden all because of Scarlett. You can't tell how much I hate these two right now.

Without any word, I got into my car and drove off.

My head was full of different thoughts. I was confused about everything. I had never thought of having a mate. I thought I wasn't destined to have one, as dad said, but he lied, and now I knew Elena was in danger of being my mate.

Not only does Dad hate Mate, but she is also the daughter of his greatest enemy, the man he hated so deeply,

********

Scarlett's POV.

My eyes were teary as I watched him drive away with no care and no remorse in his eyes. He didn't care if I got a wound and hit my brother for trying to fight for me.

His eyes were void of emotion. The same passion I saw in those eyes when he was in the garden was gone. It disappeared the moment he saw me.

"How dare that son of a bitch hit me!" My brother growled, clenching his fist.

I rolled my eyes at him and walked away, heading to my car.

"Hey Scarlett, I think you should forget about that asshole!!..you are too beautiful for such a jerk!!" He grumbled, walking behind me.

"That same jerk got you knocked out in three seconds. Don't just call him those names or I will be forced to slap you!" I huffed.

"Are you crazy?".. don't tell me you are still loving him afterward...."

"Get lost!" I cut him off, dashing into the car.

You can't tell how angry I am now. The fact that Jason doesn't care about me was eating me deep, and I couldn't help but feel more enraged recalling what happened in the garden. He had a white wolf's fur in his hand and held it with care, like it was his world.

It seems there was someone there before I came.

My brother got into the car, and the driver drove us home, with my brother's face out the window fuming. I couldn't believe the first man who caught my heart was so crude, so cold, and heartless. Everyone knows he couldn't fall in love with any woman, and that made me hurt even more.

I had thought I was too beautiful to resist, as my dad and mom kept saying. Even my friends would tell me that I have a great body, nice curves, and an enchanting smile, including my beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes.

Can someone just tell me why I couldn't enchant him with the so-called smile and great body? Instead, it turned out he hated me much more than other girls!

Shit!

"Stop worrying about him; we both know he's always been this way, hating girls and being a cold-hearted Alpha prince like his father, Javier. " Dorian tried to soothe me with those words, but I got angrier.

"So I'm not different from other ladies. I mean, there is no difference, and that is why he treats me like one!" I snorted, glaring at him.

"You are more beautiful than he is, but he doesn't seem to notice it because his heart is cold. I don't even like that guy. I can't believe he hit you and me without restraint. I feel ashamed!" He frowned, caressing the lump on his forehead from the headbutt from Jason.

"You don't like him, but I love him, so get lost. I will still get his heart and he will love me with all his heart. I feel he is my mate." I primped, blushing a little.

"My father would ask about the bump on my head, and I'd tell him everything that happened, and he'd make sure that asshole got punished!" He grumbled.

"Then I'll hate you forever. That guy is my mate. I won't allow you to hurt him in any way!" I growled with a raised brow while he stared at me with a sneer.

"Your mate?..Have you become the moon goddess that assigns mates? That asshole guy can never be your mate. Forget about him and live your life," he hissed, and I rolled my eyes at him, resisting the urge to slap him.

"He is far superior to you, weakling!" I deadpanned and just then, something clicked in my mind. I recalled something and cringed at it...

The white fur was familiar somehow.

"Dorian, do you know any female unmated werewolf with a white or silk fur wolf?" I asked curiously.

"There were many with silk fur in the pack, but all had been mated. "There is only one with white fur I can remember now," he shrugged after thinking for some seconds.

"Who?" I asked, anxiously.

"Elena, that evil girl, has a white fur wolf. She once shifted in front of Dad and us all. Can't you remember?" He replied, and it rang in my mind that day she showed her wolf. Then something flashed into my mind,

I recalled the sketch drawing of Elena Jason had in the morning and the white fur in his hand when I met him in the garden.

"What!!!" I exclaimed, suddenly making Dorian flinch.

"What is wrong with you?" He asked, with an arched brow.

"Dorian, Elena came to the school and met Jason today!" I screamed In anger and rage, Jason was holding her sketch drawing with so much care. He was also holding her fur with that same care and attention.

No!!...it can't be what I'm thinking!!
