Mirth’s point of view :-
---------------------------------
‘Mate. Our mate is here. Find her. Claim her. Mate..’ My wolf Anax, is continually jumping up and down in my head while repeating the same words again and again. He is acting like a little pup, but his acts are distracting me from the actual task.
‘Can you keep silence for a bit so that I can find her? You are irritating me.’ I shout at him in anger and finally he became quiet.
“Where the hell is she? I can’t find her anywhere. I can smell her, but I can’t see her. I know she is right here.” Truce was also searching for our mate the way I was trying to find her. But none of us could find her among all theses students surrounding us.
Finally, after trying for a while and getting failed, we got up from our seats and started searching for the source of the smell. Following the scent, we crossed a group of students who were completely covering the back side of the cafeteria, and then we found her. There was a girl sitting at the end of the cafeteria on a small table all alone with a food tray in front with just one sandwich. Her right side was towards us, but we could only see her glossy brown medium length hair that was covering her face. She was just sitting there, staring at her sandwich except for eating it. It looks like she is in some deep thought.
“Excuse me? Would you mind if I take a seat here?”
Before we can even see our mate properly, a boy came out of nowhere and called her up. But because of him, she finally swift her hair aside and looked up to give him a nod and we get to see her face clear. It would be a lie if I don’t say that she looked an exact replica of the moon goddess. We also imagined that the moon goddess is probably the most fairest woman compared to her creations. Her eyes would be shining like the starts and her smile would represent the brightness of the moon. And this girl has the same exact description. When she looked up, there was a shine like a star in her black orbs. And the little smile she gave to that boy represents the shine of the moon. Her skin is fair like snow and that brown hair was making her shine out more. But the only problem in all of this is, she is a human.
“Thank you. So, you are a new admission?” Getting her permission, he started flirting with her instant.
“Yes.” We could hear her soft words say yes. But it can be compared to some heavenly music. How can a human girl be this perfect?
“That’s great. I am new too. I don’t know the place. You don’t know the place. Maybe we should stick together and figure out this university and how it woks around here.” My blood started boiling the moment I found him flirt with our mate. How dare is he to try to claim what belongs to us?
“Thanks. But I am not interested.” It seemed like she rubbed ice on my burn when she denied him straight. That’s my girl.
“Hey. I am just trying to make friends. We need friends to survive in here.”
“Sorry, but I am not here to make friends. I am good on my own. Thank you.”
“But, I just..”
“Excuse me. I have something important to do.” With that, she just got up from her chair, picked up her bag and tried to walk out of there when that boy stopped her. A low growl came out of Truce the moment he saw that, and I instantly punched his arm to stop.
“Hey. What are you doing? Are you trying to let everyone know what we are?”
“Sorry. But that moron is ticking me off.”
“Don’t worry. I think our mate is strong enough to take care of herself.” I said those words because I noticed how she glared at that boy angrily when he tried to stop his way. Her shining eyes turned into fire the moment she felt threatened, and that fire scared him as he moved aside, clearing her way.
Unintentionally, our feet started following her to see where she goes. It looks like we are going to skip our classes today because the more we see her, the more we get interested in her. We followed her out of the cafeteria and into the ground behind the university where there are many trees where student pass time or study. She took her sit under a tree and put her head back on the tree to relax. She was acting like she has a lot of weight on her shoulders. She didn’t even eat anything on the break time. Is she okay?
“Hey girl? Why are you sitting here alone? Got no friends? Want to join us?”
It wasn’t long since she came here that a group of boys passing by noticed her and caught their attention. And as usual, seeing such a pretty girl, they started flirting with her. She was really one of a kind. Not only her face has that shine, but her body was attractive enough to make any boy drool on her. She is just wearing a simple top and jeans. But even that simple clothes were making her look gorgeous.
“No, thank you.” She got up from her place again and started walking away. But like the first boy, they also stopped her in the middle.
“We are not here to bite. We just want to make friends with you. We have girls on our team as well. You looked pretty enough to hang out with us. That is why we gave you the offer. You have no idea what you are missing.”
“I don’t want your offers. I am good on my own. Please leave me alone. I have classes to attend.”
“Fine. You think you are too good for us? We will show you how wrong you were by rejecting our offer. Let’s go boys.” Standing afar, Truce and I were watching her struggle with the boys. The way things are going, in just two days she will be proposed by everyone and the way she’s refusing them, she is going to get on everyone’s dirty side. We can clearly see her putting herself in the list of bullied.
We didn’t stop following her, as her actions were making us more interested in her. She has way too much strength and fire for a human. She was making us proud. Soon, she went to attend her next class while we wait outside for her to come out. We want to know more about her, We want to know what her name is, if she has any friends or not, how old is she, where does she live, and mostly if she has a boyfriend or not.
“The way she’s rejecting those boys, I think she has a boyfriend. It’s common for university girls to have girlfriends.” I said to Truce.
“We will find out soon because if she has someone, he will come to pick her up on her first day at this university.” He replied to me sternly.
“So, what if she has one? What will we do then?”
“I don’t know. I never expected that our mate will be a human.”
“Well. We almost thought that we don’t have a mate. Isn’t it better that we got a human mate than no one at all?”
“I guess. And she is really pretty too. But I am afraid that humans don’t have emotions like us. They don’t feel the mate bond. They can’t love one person like we do. I don’t know it it will work with us or not.”
“We will make it work. She is our only option. Moon goddess gave us her for a reason. We should not refuse her plans.”
I was determined to make this human girl my mate, but deep inside, I also fear the consequences of having a human mate. What if she rejects us? What if she loves someone else? What if she refuses to accept us both? And most importantly, how is she going to react when she will know our truth? All of these thoughts can really scare anyone when you found your mate after waiting for four years.
We kept following her without coming out in front of her because we want to know her more before taking any action. We have to take careful steps because humans are really delicate to handle. We have learned a lot about them in theses years to know how their minds work. So, keeping ourself hidden, we followed her the rest of the day. Even after the classes ended, we decided to follow her to see who she meets and where she lives.
We were expecting her to leave the university in her car or get picked up by a family member or her boyfriend. But we were shocked when we found her go straight to the bus stop and hop on a bus to go to her next destination. Is she poor? No girl of her age rides on buses. Especially on their first day. So, we started following her in our car to see where she lives or what her status is.
We got a bit amazed when we saw her come out of the bus and enter a restaurant instead of going home. The sun is almost setting down, and she hasn’t eaten anything yet. So, maybe she is here to grab some food before heading home. Actually, I also feel a bit hungry now. To wait for her to come out, we parked the car aside and stayed inside, keeping our eyes on the gate of that restaurant. But hours were passing by and there was no sign of her coming out.
“Let’s go in and check. Maybe grab some food too. I am hungry.” I suggested Truce when I felt my stomach grumble.
“Fine. Let’s go and see.” He agreed to me immediately without any hesitation and we both got out of the car to check on our human mate.
This is a small restaurant but very popular. As the night was getting darker, the load of peoples were increasing. Few of them are standing outside chatting and few are enjoying food inside. As we entered in, a chime on the door informed the waiter about our arrival.
“Welcome to Danny’s. Please take a seat on that table. I will be there with you in a minute.” As soon as we came in, the same soft voice invited us in and we realized that the waitress who greeted us is none other than our mate. So, she works in this restaurant as a waitress? I was right. She is poor indeed.
There are two more waitresses in this restoration, wearing the same outfit of white shirt and black skirt as our mate. They were all working together, taking care of each other’s customers. So, we didn’t get her services, but another girl attended to us. We didn’t bother anyone as well and left after eating some burger and fries. And after that, we again started waiting in our car for her to end the shift and return home.
It was almost midnight when finally the restaurant closed, and she was done with her shift. Now we will get to see where she lives. I am sure she lives nearby because there is no transportation anymore and there’s no way she’s going to walk a long distance at this hour. She was wearing her previous clothes and hugging herself to stay warm. It’s really chilly outside today. I felt really bad and wanted to help her reach home. But that will only raise questions in her mind about us, as well as fear. So, keeping the car behind, we started following her on foot.
After walking for four blocks, she finally stopped in front of a mansion and looked up at it, making us wonder what she is looking at, until she finally stepped up the stairs and went inside. There’s no way this is her house. A girl who lives in a mansion can never travel by bus, wear simple clothes or work in a small restaurant as a waitress. Maybe her parents work here and lives with their masters. This could be the only explanations for this case.
“Mom. I am home.” The call of our mate proved me completely wrong. This is her home indeed.
