Prologue

"I just have a request before you reject me"

Jose was confused about this. Why would she think that he will reject her? Was she rejected before? Her single sentence propped a thousand questions in his brain.

"Can you not touch anyone until you mark and break the bond completely?. It's painful", she said bringing him back to reality.

But this again confused him even more. His wolf Ulf was stirring in his mind. He is angry at hearing his mate talking about rejection. How can she casually mention him having another woman? Aren't she jealous?

Jose looked at the girl with confusion and anger all over face. Her face not showing a glimpse of jealousy or sadness made him wonder about her life.

Before he could utter a word, Leela pulled his mate behind. Ulf rushed to take over. I want to kill her with all my might for her to take my mate away. But looking at her shielding my mate from me made me sad.

My mate tapped her shoulder, "I'm fine Leela. I can handle it" she assured her

Her voice rang like a melody in my ears. My mood calmed a bit. Ulf purred in my mind on hearing our mate

"I won't hurt her", I tried to reason with Leela the bride of my friend.

But she doesn't seem to back down. I looked at Leo her groom my best friend helplessly who is standing stunned by his bride's action. I don't want to kill his mate. Understanding my look he walked towards her. One stare from her, he stopped at his track and shook his head towards me pleading.

"What do you smell ? Leela questioned me.

"What?"

"Her smell" she said again.

"Leela", my mate tried to stop her.

"Resha I can't let anyone hurt you again"

She said while looking at a group of people standing behind Leo. I don't know who they are. But their nervousness once Leela looked at them made me realize they are related somehow.

"Tell me her smell, I'll leave"

"Rose and Jasmine, just , and her" I said with my looks fixed at her. She blushed a little but concealed it quickly.

Leela looked at me for a few seconds. Her anger subsided. Her lips curved into a smile.

"He is true Resha" she beamed at my mate. She hugged my mate so tight I clenched my first in jealousy.

"I'm sorry for that before. You can have her now", she bowed to me and started to go away. She took her stunned groom and the gathered crowd to the hall.

Once again I'm alone with my mate which made me smile.

"So are you rejecting me?"

Her question made my smile vanish.

"Do you want to reject me that bad?" I moved forward reducing our distance.

"Don't you want to?"

"Why would I?"

"I don't know"

"I love you"

Her eyes widened with shock. Her emotionless face finally showed some.

And I'm happy about that.
