Chapter 4

Carmen woke up to sun rays penetrated through her curtains, dimly illuminated in her bedroom while birds happily chirped outside, it was a surreal feeling, as she hadn't heard that sound for a very long time.

As she rose quietly from her bed, Carmen remembered that it's her eighteenth birthday today and as that thought crossed her mind.

Despite countless uncertainties on her life, Carmen was still happy as her expected day had already arrived. For a month, she had exerted too much effort thinking about her mate and the fate of her pack.

Carmen had decided that she'll do this no matter what, even if her man, is an alpha or low - ranking member of her pack, it doesn't matter. As long ad she is an alpha, Carmen isn't concerned about her mate status in life. After some time of thinking she wore her skinny white jeans and a floral top. She quickly tied up her hair as she walked out of her bedroom with a bright smile on her face.

Carmen greeted all her family members. Hello everyone, all of their gaze met her, they smiled and greeted her.

Happy birthday!, they all said at the same time with cheerfulness. Carmen thanked them all as she ate her breakfast as fast as possible. She decided to set a timer to know how long Melissa will take and as she saw her approaching, Carmen saw the timer running for three minutes, which made her feel a bit disappointed.

Hey, it's your birthday, Melissa yelled. Why is your face like that? She continued to ask with confusion on her face.

l hate you, Carmen responded with pouty lips as she crossed her arms on her chest. She also stamped her feet on the ground like a child who was having a tantrum.

Why? What did l do wrong? Why did you suddenly hate me? Melissa asked one after another while giggling, looking at Carmen's cute gesture.

How did you get here so quickly? Carmen responded while hooking her arms around Melissa's forearm and leaning on her shoulder. Are you not excited that you are going to meet your mate today? Melissa asked as they continued to walk.

Of course l am! Carmen replied with affirmation. I am just hoping that he is a powerful man, at least an alpha, she smiles, imagining a man who can help protect her pack, despite being a capable werewolf, she c can still be the Luna of her pack and her mate's pack as well.

BUT what if he's a lower rank, as a beta or omega, Melissa uttered.

It doesn't matter as long as he can help me protect our pack. Anyway I have already begun my training to become a strong Luna for my mate, Carmen giggled as Melissa did the same

As soon as they entered the school premises, she suddenly felt her heart pounding so fast, making her uncomfortable. They passed through many students on their way to the classroom, some were sitting on the bench, playing on the grass or taking shade under a tree. Before arriving at their classroom, Carmen's nose was struck by a pleasant scent of lemon with a hint of mint, which immediately gravitated her towards the source.

Carmen became restless. Her wolf started howling inside. Mate. She could sense him. She wanted to see him. Not only that, but she wanted to walk towards the source of the scent and get close to its owner.

She held Melissa's hand as they stopped walking.

What's wrong? Did you sense him, Melissa inquired.

Carmen nodded immediately, but she still felt a bit weird. She knows that she can finally move, but she feels like her feet are firmly planted on the ground.

Come on, Melissa's voice dragged her out of her deep thoughts. Let's follow that scent.

Carmen know that the source of the lingering sent is from the canteen. Anna, her wolf, is starting to become restless as they head towards the location. He's there, our mate is there.

Now ease up a bit, Carmen told her wolf.

Go greet him, Anna responded.

They went inside the canteen. As Carmen's eyes were searching for the owner of the scent, she noticed that there weren't many customers. Suddenly, her gaze stuck on a student Sitting in the corner.

Mate!!
