Aderyn Pov
“Now speak up!” I said as I tapped my foot impatiently on the floor.
“Why are you so impatient?” Dylan complained as he styled his hair using his hand. I looked at him
through the mirror and then glared at him.
“Yeah! Yeah! Your hair is perfect already. Leave it and will you answer my questions now?” I asked as I
waited for him to speak.
“Oh shut up already” I heard him mutter and I stomped my feet.
“Fine!” I gave up and turned back walking out of his room, means my room.
“What will you have for Breakfast Lu- uh Aderyn?” Greta asked and I gave her an incredulous look.
“So, now you are asking what to make for breakfast? You never asked me before so why now?” I
questioned
She stood quietly waiting for my reply.
“Fine! Make whatever you want” I said as I walked towards the living room and sat on the sofa leaning
against it and closed my eyes.
“How is your leg?” I heard Dylan’s voice after some minutes.
I kept quiet not answering his question. If he can’t answer my question then why should I?
I heard him sighing and minutes later some shuffling sound. Still I didn’t bother to open my eyes.
I felt him touching my sprained leg. Immediately, tingles formed wherever he touched and the fact that I
was wearing a short pant which ended up on my knee didn’t help.
My palms formed into a fist as I struggled myself from any kind of reaction due to his mere touch.
“Its still swollen” he muttered probably examining my foot.
He kept my leg on his thigh and began to trace on it using his finger, sending more tingles and this time
I curled my toes not able to stop myself from controlling the weird feeling.
“I know you are having a tingling sensation wherever I touch” he spoke out of the blue.
“What the-” how did he know that? I thought to myself.
“And you must be thinking how did I know that right? Cause I can feel it too” he said I furrowed my
eyebrows questionably still not opening my eyes.
“Feel it too?” I found myself whispering.
“Bell must have told you everything about us. Probably everything. But there is still something you still
do not know and she left it for me to explain it to you”.
Hearing about Bell my heart warmed up and even clenched. I didn’t meet to bid her goodbye when I
left. She must be very sad as well as angry upon me. Anyone in her place would have reacted the
same way.
“You know right I am also a werewolf? Not just some werewolf but Alpha of Alphas. The King” he spoke
as he held my foot and rubbed it using his palms.
Though it was aching, but his touch was like soothing it.
“Every werewolf needs a mate. A mate is a soul mate of a werewolf. At first I use to think that I would
never have a mate like other werewolves. I already has so much responsibilities upon me that I never
even thought about it.”
“You know everything about my past right?” He asked and unknowingly applied pressure on my foot
which made me to wince in pain.
“Sorry. I am so sorry” his voice was filled with regret as he tried to ease the pain slowly rubbing on that
foot.
I knew he did that unintentionally. His past was a very sensitive topic for him and it pained him
whenever he recalls it. Just like mine.
“I am so stupid. I hurt you every time but trust me it was always unintentional” his voice filled with regret
and immediately I don’t know why but I wanted to console him but I held myself from doing so.
“You have seen Cole with his mate Jenny right?”
“They love each other so much. None of them could stay away from each other for a single day. When
Jenny left for her pack Cole was so sad but he wanted her happiness. He let her go but made sure to Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
call her everyday at least two times just to know if she was alright.”
“That’s the mate bond.”
“Mate bond” he stopped and I heard him chuckling and then he continued “It makes you do silly things.
At first, I thought it as useless and Childish hearing and witnessing what mate bond did to werewolves
but now I can’t even explain how I am feeling right now”.
“What does he mean?” I thought.
“Everyone thinks of me as some Ruthless King who doesn’t have any heart. None of them ever cared
for me. I was only a care taker of them. I may be a King but never did I ever felt special whenever I was
around them. Power can give you that special feeling but not that type of feeling which you feel
whenever someone cares for you. When someone sits next to you and take care of you when you are
sick or feel yourself lonely.”
He stopped talking probably again recalling his past. My heart clenched hearing him. I knew he was
telling me about how he felt when he was alone and somehow I wanted to console him because I
suffered that loneliness too.
I gave him his space and waited for him to continue.
Minutes later, I heard him taking a deep breath and then continued.
“I know you must have gone through the same thing as me. But your case is more sensitive then mine.”
My palms formed into a fist as I took his words in.
“You know Aderyn, when I met you for the first time I did a mistake. I did a big mistake of my life by
judging you. I saw you always smiling, joking around and somehow I found myself being jealous of
you.”
“Yes, jealous. I know its really stupid but I really felt jealous seeing you. I always compared your life
with mine. I used to think you had a perfect life. You were so carefree and every time I saw you, I found
you always energetic that it made me jealous. I started to curse my fate for doing all that things to me
when I was a kid.”
“I used to think you had everything in your life. Your life was so perfect and bright whereas mine was so
ugly. It was dark, full of secrets and scars was all that I had.”
My mind began to question even more.
“Why was he talking all this with me? Not that I complain or something because he was being open to
me. But still I don’t understand where it was going?” I thought to myself.
“So, the thing is we are different. We I mean you and me are totally different. Its not just that I am a
werewolf and you are a human but we are different in many ways. But there are some things which is
common between us. We fight with each other. We can not stand each other. So many similarities are
there actually but some qualities in you make you more better than me”.
“Qualities?” I thought.
“Sometimes, I find myself confused that what should I do whenever I am learning anything new about
you. Some things in you are so inspirational while some ar- I don’t know what to say.”
“Uh what am I saying?” I heard him talking to himself.
“Anyways, Now it is the time. The time has finally came for you to know everything. I am going to
answer all your questions today because I am more impatient than you to tell you all this. I want you to
know everything. And what I am going to tell you, will be uh will be kind of disturbing to you but you
have to deal with it. I know you are strong enough to deal with all this werewolf thing but this uh how
would I explain? Uh very different from it.”
I mentally rolled my eyes thinking What can be more disturbing than knowing about this werewolf
existence.
“Okay so here it is” he said and took a deep breath.
“I told I never believed upon all those love stories or neither I ever imagined finding a mate, who will
love me because who I am, never judge me, will always stay with me, give me a family.”
He stopped speaking.
“Family” I heard him whisper with a tone of happiness.
“I can not believe my fate. This is really exceptional and unbelievable for me.”
“So, I found my mate” he blurted out of nowhere making me choke on my own spit.
“What?” I said as my eyes fluttered open out of shock.
“What did you just say?” I asked opening my mouth for the first time in all this conversation.
He smiled at me and repeated again “I found my mate. My soulmate.”
I don’t know why but hearing that he found his mate my heart clenched in pain.
Why am I feeling like this?
I should be happy right? He found his mate. His other half. He will no longer feel lonely and finally his
life will be repaired, will be in order. I should feel happy for him right? So why am I feeling this
uneasiness?
I should be happy at least one of us will be finally living a happy life.
“You found your mate?” I asked slowly.
He smiled and nodded, his eyes clearly showing happiness.
My throat went dry and I raised my eyebrow smiling or should I say tried to smile still shocked.
“T-That’s Great. Wow! Uh great! Yes good I mean uh Congrats!” I spoke not finding any words.
“You really found your mate?” I asked again trying to re-confirm.
“Yes I found my mate” he replied and it was all for my heart to clench in pain once again.
“Good!” I muttered.
“So, where is she? I mean you are here because you found her here right?” I asked.
He shooked his head negatively.
“No, I found her few months ago but I was just not accepting it. I was pushing her away from me” he
replied as he again began to rub my foot with his big palms.
“Why did you do that?” I scowled hearing that he was pushing her away.
“Because I was an Idiot!” He replied and his answer surprised me.
“Wow! You are already changing huh? So, this is her effect?” I asked
“Yes. You can say that” he laughed a little.
“Tell me about her” I asked even though I didn’t want to hear anything about his mate.
“About her? Umm what should I say? She is beautiful. I just love her smile. Whenever I see her smiling,
my heart begins to beat even faster.
“Hmm” I said not wanting to say anything.
“She is really inspirational. You will always learn new things about her.”
I nodded my head.
“The most important part about her is that she is really brave. I mean nobody stands a chance against
her.”
“That’s why your wicket is down already” I muttered to myself but he heard me “Yes totally. I agree to
that.”
“Great! You found your match! Congratulations! So, you two sing song enjoy now. What are you doing
here? Here in my house?” I asked and suddenly I didn’t know why but I was really irritated as well as
angry.
“Yeah! I was going to that part” he said while I crossed my hands across my chest uninterested.
“I am here to take back my mate with me” he said and I raised my eyebrows confused.
“Take back? Where is she?” I asked confused.
“Right before me. She is sitting right before my eyes” he said and smiled when he saw my wide eyes.
“Aderyn my mate.”
