Chapter 1

Prolog

.....

"Don't worry, Belle. Everyone is having a nice life at South. I even found a nice mate for you there."

My father is trying to make a talk with me. I did not say anything and keeps my mouth shout. He is trying to not make things awkward, but now I think it is more awkward than before, thanks.

Mate? Seriously? I think it is just useless, this arranged mate. Just because I am an omega in our pack, they think I am so useless that no one really want me. Well, maybe it is true.

At least I am not like my sister, Zetty. She mated with a lot of guys. She has been rejected by her real mate, that is why she mated with random people without no one hesitastes.

Those guys who mated with her also rejected by their own mate. A bunch of rejected fools goofing off, huh?

"Belle, do you want to order peperroni pizza? I know it is Zetty's and your favourite,"

I sighed. Seriously? How annoying can he be?

"I am allergic to peperronies, dad. It is only Zetty's fav. Don't care about me, I am full. Focus on your driving, dad,"

I hate this. I hate leaving grandma's house. The long journey from North to South, I hate it. My father left me at grandma's house since I was 15. After a few years, why bother picking up your troublesome child?

My wolf is suddenly getting more and more excited. My mate...maybe he is in South?? Pfffft....

[Why are you excited?]

[Jungle. Woods. River,]

Glad so. I really don't want a mate, even though I am an omega. I practised lot enough at Grandma's house, I even capable to crush Zetty's head in one move.

Tired to talk with myself and my wolf, I prefer to sleep.

"Do not touch me!"

He ignored me. Okay, so my grandma's apartment has a customer that rents it, and you are telling me I have got myself in an unbelievable scene with the customer?!

"Please, let me go! The **** is wrong with you, let me go!"

He continues to rubbed his nose against my neck. He is my mate. He is trying to mate with me. No, I won't allow it!

"Let me go! I am not yours to claim!"

He is a damn Alpha, his strength is far beyond me. His hands are holding my thin wrist, it hurts and I stopped struggling.

"But you are mine. Why you have another male wolf's scent on you?!"

I suppose that scent is from Jake. Jake, I regret that I hugged you this evening. Hie red eyes are scaring me.

[He..he is our mate, Belle,]

My wolf is obeying his wolf, no, she is excited! No, I won't allow it! My wolf is mine to control, not him!

"Grrrrrrr,"

I growled, trying to challenge him. I must win! My wolf is crying, wanting him so much, but I am ordering my wolf to fight him.

"Ggggr!"

He growled, but only like for two seconds. Probably don't want to scare me so much. But yes, it only took him two seconds to growl and it is already making me shivering.

He is so powerful that I cannot do anything to win against him.

"Here. You can only smell like me,"

He kissed me. My wolf....is getting crazier. She whined due to happiness. God, that was embarassing.

"L-let me go,"

He smirked. And that is super annoying.

"But your wolf is telling the truth of what you felt,"

I tried all that I can to avoid him notice that I blushed.

He place his mouth on my ear. No, don't tell me-

"Urhhhh,"

He bite my ear, and that hurts. Blood is dripping down to my neck, and he still won't stop. How the hell Zetty has a lot of mark on her ears, to get one is already hurting as hell.

After he finished marking me, an earing showed up at my ear, I feel it. After a male marked his mate, an earing will appear to one of their ears. An earing also showed up at his left ear. My earing is exactly like his. Gosh, it hurts!

"I-it hurts,"

I cried. He licked my tears, and calmed me down.

.......

I gasped. That memory is still haunting me. After he marked me, I ran through the woods and washed myself at a beach far from grandma's house. It is to make sure he can't smell my scent and found me.

I touch an earing that is on my ear. I can't take it off, or else my wolf will hurt. The earing has a diamond, it is red coloured. Exactly like his eyes.

His eyes is so....unique that makes me feel shiver down my spine everytime I thought about it. I can't sleep anymore and I look at dad that is driving.

"Belle, are you awake?"

I nodded my head, and said yes in a low voice.

"We will arrive in a few minutes,"

I feel relieved we are getting off the car soon. My father scent is mixed with alcohol. It smells disgusting.

"Dad...I don't need an arranged mate,"

Back to the topic why he brings me to South. I say to him, trying to make sure the arranged mate will be stopped.

"You must. Follow what your dad says,"

"But dad, I already have been marked!"

His eyes widened. He stops his car along the road.

"What?"

I showed him my earing. He gasped.

"Red....red earing? S-sweetie, I never saw you with your mate. D-do you love your mate?"

I shook my head, though my wolf is already growl in my head, being mad. Yeah, my wolf missed him and love him, but not me. What is wrong with red earing btw? I mean, it is pretty, not that bad.

"H-how about you give that earing to Zetty?"

What? Why? Is there something special with this earing? I want to ask him, but my wolf makes a sound,

[Don't ask him. He won't tell. I have a feeling he will force us to take off this earing,]

I said okay to my wolf. Now, now. This red earing must have a special meaning that he called me 'sweetie' earlier beside of 'brat'.

"Dad, my wolf will get hurt if I take it off,"

He smiles weirdly.

"I will take care of it,"

Let's see what this old man is trying to do.

------Felix------

"I don't want an arranged mate,"

I response quickly after my dad tell me about it.

"Just like I thought,"

My father said. He shook his head.

"Felix, it is for your own good,"

I look at my brother. Seriously, even brother agreed?!

"But brother doesn't even have a mate, why would I have one?!"

"Felix, you know my situation. I have marked my mate, but I can't find her, she ran away. An Alpha must have a mate. You are going to be the Alpha, like it or not,"

I am mad. I am not ready yet to be an Alpha. I am only 18. My brother is 25, he fits in well.

"You are telling me just because of your stupid ***** mate, I am going to be the Alpha?!"

My brother eyes are shining. My father and my mother also get shocked of what I said.

"Shit, I- I am sorry brother,"

He gets up from his seat. His pair of red eyes comes back to normal. He has been broken since he was 19, right after he lost his mate. Well, in school, we all get to learn that mate is half of us. The proof is, he lost everything after his mate was gone. The title of the Alpha.

"You will go to the arranged mate tomorrow, Felix. I don't want to hear anything. No one is allowed to come in my room,"

He said in a determined voice. Usually, a male would have attacked someone if they talked bad about their mate. I know why he doesn't attacked me, because I am his brother, and I know, he take care of me, protect me, he is everything to me, I am everything to him.

And what I am doing? Hurting his feelings. Damn it.

Night has come, and I finally arrive at my house in South. When I stepped my feet on the ground, I am excited.

I shift and I bring my bags in my mouth. I smell each room, until I find a room that is still have no scent, which means no one has ever stepped in that room since this house was built. I take this room, then. There is a big bed, I jumped on it. I layed for a long time that I didn't notice that I already back in my original form. I laughed, thinking about how silly can I be.

Then, someone knocked my room. That disgusting scent, it must be my father. Besides, no one else is here. I open my door room and asked him what he wants.

"I will help you take off that earing,"

As soon as I hear that, I growled. He is off to no good.

"Leave. Me. Alone, dad."

He growls too. He puts his hand at my ear and pulled my earing.

My wolf is shivering in pain.

"Let me go!"

"Give me that fucking earing,"

I bite his hands. I shift to my wolf form and ran away. I saw him starting the car. Huh, those who drinks alcohol can't change themselves into a wolf. Deserves him right.

I run and climbed the tree. My ear is bleeding. **** you, dad.

......Xander......

My earing glowed up, and I am shocked. After that, I am dissapointed. When an earing glows, it means their mate is trying to pull it off. Maybe she didn't succeed cuz I am the only one who can get rid of it.

But why now? After 7 years, she ran away, why bother to pull it off now? The earing is still on our ear, for 7 years. I remember the first time we met.

7 YEARS AGO

I am lost in North. I am trying to not get in other wolves' territory, also don't want to be mistaken as rogues. I have a pack. I am 19 years old, I still have 1 year before being an Alpha.

Suddenly, a strong scent attracted me. It smelt like flowers blooming. So sweet. My mate...maybe I will meet her soon?

I keep following the scent and I ended up in front of an apartment.

It rains heavily, and my mate's scent is fading. I will search for her tomorrow, it is already so dark.

"Awooooooooo"

I make a sound, greeting the owner of the apartment. A granny opened the door and yelled something, I can't hear cause of the heavy rain.

She keeps swinging her hands, probably a sign of letting me in? I get inside of her apartment, it is big.

I shifted myself in human form, my bones cracked, it is normal, so I just ignore the sound.

That granny said,

"Wow, what a handsome man. I wonder if Arbelle is interested,"

That name. Makes my heart racing, even though I don't know why.

"Ar...belle?"

Gosh, I said it. My heart is beating faster. That granny smiled and nodded.

"My granddaughter. She is pretty. Men that came here has been flirting with her, but she never care for once that I almost thought she likes women,"

I felt relieved for no reason. What is wrong with me?

"A lot of men had come here? For what reason?"

I asked her with polite manner.

"Probably lost, like you, young man,"

I smiled,

"Please, call me Xander,"

That granny smiled to me too. Wow, she is quite pretty even in that age. I wonder how Arabelle looks like.

"I have a room in this apartment to rent. Do you want to rent it?"

I nodded and say yes. This place seems fun, I am not giving up the chance to explore here.

"Here, the key of your room,"

She takes a key from her pocket. I take it and say thank you. After that, I search for that room. None of the key matched with rooms at the first floor, so I guess I will go to the second floor. Until I find a room, I try to use the key and it matched. I opened it. Not bad. It even has spare male clothes. All in different sizes. There is a bathroom, a cabinet full with male clothes, even a study table. Guess a lot of wolves got lost in this area.

Suddenly, I smell a scent. The same scent I smelt earlier, but now it is like flowers blooming in a heavy rain. The best scent I have ever met. The smell is so strong that I think she is in front of my room.

Tok!Tok!

Someone knocked the door. No way. I opened the door and saw a girl is in front of me.

I think my heart stopped breathing. MY MATE. She is smiling in front of me, her eyes is blue, her lips is as red as cherry, her nose curves is perfect.

"Arbelle?"

I called her name, trying to make sure if she is that granny's granddaughter.

"Yes?"

She makes a weird face, probably weird how I know her name. So..so cute.

[She is our mate. Hug her,]

My wolf finally talked.

[Won't she have a heart attack?]

[She will realize you are her mate. Hold her, quick]

[I don't want to]

[I can't hold it]

Arbelle looks at me. She makes a worried face. Yeah, my face looks like I am in pain, while I am actually struggling to not suddenly mate her tonight.

"Are you okay?"

She touched my shoulders, which makes me flinched and I couldn't help but drag her and push her on the bed.

I got myself on top of her and she struggles to run away.

"Do not touch me!"

I ignored her and rubbed my nose against her neck. She stuggles again.

"Please, let me go! The **** is wrong with you, let me go!"

I stopped myself from rubbing my nose. She looked at me with tired eyes, she is biting her lips, which makes me wants her more. I continued to rub my nose against her neck.

"Let me go! I am not yours to claim!"

I am mad when I heard that. I hold her wrist with my hands, warn her that I didn't like what she said. She stopped sruggling. She said she is not mine. She said she is not mine to claim.

"But you are mine. Why you have another male wolf's scent on you?!"

I smelt another scent on her. I hate it. I want her to smell like me, her mate.

She stares my eyes. She stayed quiet before she growled, challenging me.

"Grrrrrrr,"

She hates me that much?

"Ggggr!"

I growled, but only for a while. I know that she won't win. She is shivering, maybe she is shocked. No, no....I don't want her to be scared of me. But first, I wanna get rid of the male's scent.

"Here. You can only smell like me,"

I lowered my head and kiss her. God, she tastes good. My wolf....is getting crazier. She whinned and I tried my best to control my wolf. Good enough, at least I know that her wolf wants me.

"L-let me go,"

I smirked.

"But your wolf is telling the truth of what you felt,"

She blushed, so cute.

I want her. I put my mouth on her ear. She seems shocked. I bite her ear slowly, trying my best to not hurt her.

"Urhhhh,"

She makes a cute sound. Jeez, she is adorable.

After I finished marking her, an earing showed up at her ear. An earing also showed up at my left ear. My earing is exactly like hers.

"I-it hurts,"

She cried. I licked her tears, calming her down. I licked her ears too, hoping it will get better soon. I hugged her, calming her down.

"I am sorry. Does it hurts?"

She nods. I pat her head.
