Chapter 2

----------Arbelle-------

I have no where to go. What should I do? I don't want to be a rogue. Right, I remember what dad said about the arranged mate. No, I won't agree to the arranged mate but I will beg to stay in his pack.

It is my only choice.

[Find my arranged mate place,]

I said to my wolf. Later, she makes her nose more sensitive and I can smell my mate instead of the place.

I am shocked. I followed that smell. I am excited, I can't deny. I run, chasing that smell. While I was running, I heard a growl. I turned my back and saw a black wolf. His eyes are red.

Why he has the same eyes coloured like my mate? I look at his ears, there is no earing like mine. Maybe he came for a fight? I growled, warning him to not come closer.

He looks at my earing. His eyes widened. He changed himself to human form, a sign he doesn't want to fight but to talk.

His face...almost as the same as my mate. Even his eyes...

"Why are you here?"

He asked. I changed myself to human form, too. I was right, he want to talk.

"I have an arranged mate meeting. But I sense my real mate's scent here. I don't plan to accept that arranged mate,"

He comes closer to me and hugs me. What??

"Sister in law,"

What he called me just now? I look at him. He let go of his hug and look at me too. His tears are falling.

"Urm...sorry?"

He laughed. He is crying in happiness? Why?

"Brother will be happy. You are my brother's mate,"

I am shocked. That explains why he called me sister in law.

"Come with me. Let's meet him,"

I shook my head. I don't want to. He asks me why.

"I am afraid he won't accept me,"

He laughed again. He seems friendly. Maybe my mate is friendly too?

"Are you kidding? He spent 7 years looking for you,"

Oh, crap.

"By the way. I am Felix Dunst, your arranged mate,"

What? My arranged mate is my mate's brother?!

Before I say anything, he already grabbed my hand and pulled me. Gosh, he is fast. After a while, we arrived. There is a big wall, so high, almost reached 70 feet.

"Awoooooooooo"

Felix makes a greeting. Then, the door is opened. He walks in and left me behind. I quickly walk and gets  behind him. Everyone is looking at me.

'Look at her earing, isn't that the Dunst pack's earing?'

'Is she Felix's mate?'

'Felix didn't have an earing though,'

From what they said, I see why. That old bastard wants my earing because it belongs to a rich pack. And he wants to take the credit by giving Zetty the earing. Shitty old man got some dirty tricks.

"Silent! Who came?!"

A cold voice. Everyone is terrified. Those noisy mouths keep silent. All of them kneel down to him. Who is he? My wolf answered, he is...Dunst, the pack's Alpha.

I look at him. He is on a big rock. He jumped down and hugs Felix. Gosh, even in his human form, he is huuuugeeee!!!

He looks at me. I look down to my feet. His scent is terrifying, I wonder if his mate founds it attractive. Because as I remember, we can't see any unperfect things in our mate.

"Who is her? Why she has our earing, Felix?"

"Dad, she is brother's mate,"

I look at Alpha Dunst eyes, also red. I see, red eyes is a symbol of the pack. No wonder everyone here has red eyes.

"What? You mean, she is Xander's mate?"

That name.. My heart stopped for a second. I feel a sorrowful feeling deep in me. Xander?

"Yeah. She is brother's mate. Her earing looks exactly like his. Where is he?"

"He is hunting,"

Felix nods his head. Alpha Dunst looks at me. Ouuufff, I just had goosebumps.

"What is your name, sweetheart?"

I look at Alpha Dunst. My wolf is shivering, damn.

"I am Arbelle Vills"

His eyes is widened. Yeah, like I don't know that my pack is against his pack.

We are enemies since a hundred years ago.

"No. I am not Arbelle Vills anymore. Just Arbelle. My father kicked me out,"

He nods.

"I am sorry, sweetheart,"

I smiled. He is not as villain as I heard. Who spread such rumors?

"I glad he kicked me. He was waiting to kick me out since I was born. I am free now. Probably I will head back to North,"

Yeah. Grandma's place. I missed her.

"What? How about my brother?"

Who? My mate? Yeah...totally forgotten.

"I am afraid he won't accept me anymore. Before I get broken again, I better go,"

When I turned my back, I bumped into someone. A lady.

She looks like almost 35 years old, tall and beautiful. She has charisma over her.

"Who is she?"

She asked. I have to go through this question, again?

"Mom, she is brother's mate,"

Felix answered for me. She is Luna Risey, Alpha Dunst's mate. Her eyes are widened after she heard what Felix said.

"What? Sweetie, you finally came! Ouh, Xander will be so happy,"

Before, she looks scary. Then, she looks extremely friendly. Like Felix and Alpha Dunst, kinda feel like dejavu.

"Mom, sis Arbelle wants to leave,"

Felix says to Luna Risey.

"WHAT?! HELL, YOU ARE NOT!"

I am shocked by the change of her behavior. Damn, I think I know why Felix said that to Luna Risey.

"Sweetie, look at you, change your clothes first. After that, you can leave,"

I look at her, not believing what she just said.

"Oh, trust me, sweetie. Come, let's get inside our house,"

Why I have a bad feeling about this.

... ...

{Through mind link----------} (+>+)

'Mom, you can't be serious to let her leave' -FELIX

'Of course I lied. I will let her wash herself in Xander's room' -RISEY

'Babe, you are so naughty,' -DUNST

'What are you guys talking about?' -XANDER

Crap. Felix, Risey and Dunst quickly left mind link, leaving Xander keep guessing.

Well, an evil plan won't be a success if the victim knows the plan.

.

I look inside the room that Luna Risey showed me. The room smelt good, making me addicted. I put the clothes that Luna Risey told me to wear.

I take the towel that is also given by Luna Risey in the bathroom. I washed myself up. God, I can't believe I met my mate's pack with this horrible look. With mud is on my face, my clothes is already torn everywere.

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

I got two rabbits and a deer for my haunt today. Not that bad. As soon as I arrived at the wall, I give my greetings. They let me in, of course. Everyone is staring at me. No, staring at my earing exactly. I walk to my own house. I feel weird as soon as I enter. No one is in here? I go to the kitchen and takes out milk. I pour it in a glass and drink it. I LOVE MILK.

After that, I walk to my room. I freeze for a while. That scent. The scent of flowers blooming. No, it can't be real. I open my door room. The scent is getting stronger. I look at my bed and see a few of women's clothes. Then, someone gets out from my bathroom.

It is my mate. She is wearing a towel on her body. She looks at me in the eye. I look at that earing. The same as mine.

"X-Xander?"

She said my name. Again, I am in the same situation as before. I am fighting my wolf that wants to eat every inch of her.

I missed her. I want to hold her in my arms. Without realizing, tears falling out. I....cried.

"Where did you go?"

I asked her. She didn't reply to me.

"Where did you go?! I searched for you for 7 years!"

I cried louder. 7 years is like hell to me. Not knowing if she is alive or not, you think I can endure it that easily for 7 years? All the time, I was worried about her.

"Damn it. This is all your fault,"

I said it for a few times without stop crying.

"X-Xander...I am sorry..."

"Save it! Now that you are here, I will never let you leave,"

She shook his head. My wolf wants her bad, my wolf wants her to know that she is mine, that she is owned.

"Xander, I- I can't, I must leave,"

I hate it. I hate it.

"I already let you leave for 7 years. I guess it is time for you to stay,"

"X-Xander-"

"No!!! I won't let you leave!"

My wolf is getting mad. So do I. Let her leave? Over my dead body.

She comes to me slowly and hugged me. I am shocked of what she did, but I hug her back. 7 years, I owned her and never get a hug. Finally. I am hugging her. She cried in my arms. I patted her head.

"I-I feel safe,"

She said. I kiss her forehead, letting her calm herself. The scent. I never knew that it was roses that blooming the whole time. I knew it wasn't easy for the both of us.

"You smell like poop,"

I wasn't expecting that. I look at her with my shocked eyes.

"Go take a shower,"

I make a sulk face. Seriously, at this time???

"I will wait,"

Then I smile. God, I miss her. I take my towel which is in the drawer and I wash myself.

++++++++++++

Arbelle-----

Hufff.... My heart won't stop beating. Why did I hugged him? Well, I can't control myself. I didn't expect him to cry. Maybe...I should give him a second chance? He smells nice though... I look at my clothes on the bed. Nah, probably just wear his clothes.

I open his drawer. I take out a T-Shirt that looks so smart. It covers my thigs, I guess it will be perfect? It is hot in this room.

I change myself in it. After that, I lay myself down on the bed. So comfortable, it feels like I am at the  safest place in the world. Wait for him or sleep? Nahhhhhh, I would choose sleep. We still have time either way.

At that time, I think I have notice...that for those 7 years, even now....I am owned.
