The Alpha and His Human Mate

Marked!

Suddenly, someone burst out with laughter at the door. Louve quickly turned around to the voice.

“Louve” Marissa walked over with a smile. “Have you seen your mom?”

“Yeah, let’s go back to the hostel” Although it had been a long day for Louve, she was able to finally get back to her hostel.

“When will we be seeing you again”. The two turned around to the direction of the voice Louve was stunned at how the man got to the sofa. She had been sitting there few minutes ago.

“Brother, I will come back to the pack house tomorrow for my training. Don’t miss me too much” Marissa said, knowing her brother, the Alpha king, wasn’t referring to her. “Did you want to die?” he asked Marissa through their mind link. She turned around and frowned at him. “Alpha King Barlduf, don’t get any bad ideas or you’ll see how I deal with you.”

“Sure, since you want to die so badly, bring it on”, unaware of the conversation going on between the siblings, Louve turned her back only to meet with his cold stare.

“Let’s see how I will deal with you”. he thought

Bardulf pov”

I was on the training ground after meeting a few freshers. My wolf Brandon becomes more piqued as he impatiently jumps in my head. I sighed heavily as he was frustrating me, pushing me over the edge. I really felt like throwing him out that instant as I felt my head ache really bad. The mate stuff is driving me nut.

Suddenly, my nose hit the smell of vanilla mixed with chocolate scent. It was enticing and alluring.

She’s close; our mate is here, Brandon grunts.

Stop behaving like a teenager who fell in love for the first time or I shut you out, she has no reason to be here.

“Stupid wolf” I said.

Suddenly, my heartbeat immediately got fast and my body stiff, my wolf was running a marathon in my head.

“Come and drive me to the pack house”, though I wanted to say it in a more quiet tone. my wolf was not cooperating with me, I was quickly sent to the Pack house. The door opened and I saw a petite body sitting in a stiff manner in the pack house with my spoilt sister forcing her to eat a watermelon. My wolf starts to howl in my head uncontrollably as he sees her, wanting to mark her, as all we did last time was have s*x.

“You are so stupid not to mark her” Brandon howls loudly in my head. I remained calm and collected sitting there, but Brandon wasn’t having it easy with me.

“Mate” Brandon howled loudly in my head. “Will you keep down or should I kick you out.” I threatened him but he didn’t feel threatened at all as he wouldn’t leave my head. “Kick me out. If you had marked her that night, she would have been ours but you were so engrossed in having s*x with her that you wouldn’t mark her” to add salt to my injury, I somehow got into my sister’s mind to find out she didn’t want to see me at the pack house that I sent her out of the pack house to the training ground knowing she hated being there, or let me say she hated being a wolf.

“How can you be such a jerk? You were supposed to impress her, not scare her. Now she would distance herself from us” Brandon kept blabbering in my head when I chose to tease her.

I could hear my wolf screaming when I turned invisible by suddenly disappearing. I could see the fear and shock in her eyes. “What the f**k are you doing Bardulf, our mate will not accept us. You are supposed to be nice. Brandon wouldn’t keep his mouth shut, so I called my sister to come and keep her company.. But who would have thought she wouldn’t stay with her and I have to stay with her with my wolf tormenting me. He failed to understand that seeing my mate as a human did break my heart and, by the look of things, she wasn’t going to make it easy for me to get her to accept to be my Luna. I swear I could smell her wolf and that got me thinking why her wolf was sealed away. Who would do such a thing to my mate. I groaned as anger courses through my body. I bet that was the reason why I couldn’t find her for a very long time if it wasn’t for fate that brought us together. I wonder what would have happened by now, Werewolves usually have second chance mates, but unfortunately, the moon goddess bestows the blessing of only one mate on me and my subordinates.

“Ask her when she will be coming back”, Brandon asked, but I ignored him.

“f**k you Bardulf, just f*****g ask her when we will be seeing her again.”

I asked her when next I would see her, as my wolf was threatening to bust out if I didn’t, but my spoilt sister was the one who answered in her stead. That girl did bit more than she could chew to even think that she warned me against having any bad idea make me want to kill her.

Louve Pov

The drive to school was longer than I thought. I continued thinking of a way to get myself out of this sticky situation. Why can’t the Alpha king understand that I don’t want my soul mate to be chosen by their goddess? The past two days I have imagined meeting my soul mate accidentally in a library, a shopping mall or even a golf centre. I don’t want to be marked by him. I’ve heard that there would be a ritual where they would bite into their skin. I don’t want to be treated like a piece of meat in the name of being marked. What if he marked me without my consent, he said he would find me, what if he’s not nice, what if he’s abusive or an alcoholic, what if he’s a murderer? I shuddered at that thought, remembering the look on his face. I would do anything just to avoid him.

Suddenly, my skin stung. “Hey Marissa you hit me hard”, she jabbed her elbow in my ribs with a little pressure to wake me up.

“Babe, what’s eating you up?” how would I tell her? There are a lot of things I couldn’t tell her, especially the part that her brother was my mate. I shrugged at her questions and tried not to look into her eyes as I speak.

“I find it hard to believe that a werewolf can’t just choose who they love and marry them. Why does it have to be that they have to bite their mate like meat”, it’s stupid” I said, whining. I can only discuss this with my friend because I know she’s not a fan of her tribe.

“Babe, it’s the tradition, they have been doing it for centuries. It’s not a new thing.”

Hearing my friend makes me wonder if she had been marked because the Marissa I knew a few days ago found the tradition stupid.

“I don’t care if the moon goddess wanted mates to be together, things should change. This is the twenty-first century, because it is something happening from the ancient days doesn’t mean it has continued or made it the right way of doing things. Time has changed, those believe should also change.

“Screech” I heard the car tyre screech as the car came to a stop. My friend dragged me out of the car. “Louve, why the heck were you angry at the tradition that has been in practice since ancient times?” she paused and looked at me vividly “Tell me were you marked?” Her question sent a shiver down my spine, but I’m not willing to tell her the truth.

“Mark! No I’m just angry thinking about those traditions”. I lied and her reply made me understand she wasn’t buying my lies.

“Oh, really you f*****g want me to believe that, you think I wouldn’t be able to trace a wolf's scent on your body days ago, tell me who is the bastard” Now I know I need to calm my friend down. “Come on, nobody marked me.” I tried to act natural

“Oh really Louve, you not only carry a male scent but I could scent your wolf. It was as if it was masked by some force. I thought I was being paranoid because it confuses me by leading me in the wrong direction”. My friend was ready to put on a strong fight with me for sure if I didn’t find a solution to this.

Marisa, we’ve known each other since year one how could I be a wolf, we all know I’m human.

“No, Louve have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? Anybody would mistake you for a wolf at first contact.
