Chapter 8 - Eight : Male Lead, Is That You - 4
Rejecting a mate wasn't a child's play at all cause it causes excruciating pain for both parties and is a huge taboo. Rejecting a mate is akin to giving the moon goddess the middle finger cause she's the one who gifts the other half of one's soul in their mate.
Dissapointed at the turn out, the moon goddess decided to teach all Alpha werewolves a lesson.She placed a curse on Alphas, they were to remain in their wolf form for four days in every three months until they found their true mates.
This was a measure taken by the moon goddess to ensure no Alpha messes with their matebond again and so far, it's being effective.
Cases of Alphas rejecting their mates was so rare now that the "rejection zone " now seem like a forklore told to the younger generation.
Ryan didn't know how he got inside his office but he plopped down on the swivel chair resting his legs on the desk as soon as he arrived . He groaned rubbing his temple, hearing the news from Judith had him develop a migraine right away.
He just hopes Daniel has found his mate else things are about to get messy.
Unknown to them all, a figure lay on the grass naked from his head to his toe. A drop of dew meticulously flowed from a plant and dropped on his eyelid stirring him awake.
He slowly unveiled his eyes and blinked, his long thick eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a butterfly but then his eyes, as blue as the sea was so calm and captivating. This scene was so breathtaking and out of this world that it was quite a shame there wasn't a photographer to capture this surreal and exotic moment.
But it seem this ethereal beauty wasn't done with his sleep cause he closed his eyes once again but the plants as if in cahoots started dropping dews after dews on him forcing him awake.
He sat up at once awake and dazzled by his surrounding. He promptly looked down at his hands before he searched the rest of his body, he was... was.... human again.
But how was that possible? It was just the second day of his cursed week, he still had two more days to go.
He looked up at the sky, he has imprinted ?!
In just a few moment, countless emotions surged through him. He was confused, happy, worried , angry then anxious. What was going on?
Suddenly a memory flashed through his mind, stucked in his wolf form he had dreamt of a goddess. In that dream, he was in a pit with no source of escape, his only form of entertainment was the open sky until someone casted a shadow and then he looked up and saw her.
She crouched down trying to get a closer look at him before extending her hand to him. Daniel stared at those smooth long hands before meeting her eyes.
Her alluring blue eyes spoke of assurance and longing for him and just like a moth drawn to a flame he gave her his hand.
As soon as his hand met her's, he found himself suddenly infront of her and peace like no other flooded him. Daniel felt at home as if an empty void in him has filled .
He reached out his hand to touch her face, to run his hands through her rich chocolate hair, to hold her in his arms and protect her from this crazy world, but she disappeared.
Great, Daniel groaned. He imprinted at last but can't remember the face of his mate. His dream was hazy, the only thing he could remember was her vivid blue eyes and chocolate hair .
Chocolate, he smiled. He loves chocolate.
He stood groaning with the effort. He muscles ached terribly and he couldn't complain cause he knew it was from running for two days now.
Suddenly his body went rigid and his gaze darkened, somebody.. no not... somebody but some people were coming and they were armed . His body tensed while he clutched his fist preparing to go for battle but as soon as their scent hit his nostrils, he relaxed. A slight smile tugged at his lips, they were here for him.
Judith hurried, she could sense where the Alpha's scent was the strongest , he was nearby. She clutched her weapon by the side, the alpha was extremely dangerous at this state and they had to be very careful if they intend surviving.
She raised a hand as a gesture deploying the warriors to their various positions. Judith took a deep breath before jumping out of her position with the intention of taking the target by surprise, but it seemed she was the one taken by shock instead. She stood mouth agape and weapon hanging loosely at the side transfixed at the scene .
Her alpha was human and naked. She gulped or atlest she tried to - why was she feeling hot?
"Keep looking and a fly could live in there soon " Alpha Daniel said flashing her a smile that made her almost trip on a root. She slapped her forehead mentally. God, she's so stupid!
Daniel chuckled, the girl was totally smitten
"Alpha " She greeted before handling him a clothe one of her subordinate brought along.
She looked away as the Alpha dressed up blushing furiously.Perspiration beaded her forehead. Why was this happening to her of all people ? She fought internally.
Judith wasn't stupid, she knew the fact that the alpha was able to be in his human state right now was probably because he found his mate. She knew the alpha wasn't crazy enough to reject his mate and suffer the cursed week all over again probably till eternity if such a scenario happens.
Daniel sensing her inner battle didn't bother her much after he was done .It was just a crush, thousands of female werewolves were crushing on him everyday moreover the feeling will dissipate once she finds her mate.
At the moment he has more pressing need which was to recover his strength and go find his mate. He could feel her presence even though it was faint so she had to be in little Town . The fact that he could sense her meant the moon goddess has already sent her to him eventhough his mate was ignorance.
My love, we would be together soon
He thought with a smile on his face before leaving the wood with his pack .
