MY REVENGEFUL MATE

YOU GOT THE WRONG NOTION

Ruth’s P.O.V.

If I am going to say that I am alright and perfectly fine, then I would be the greatest liar of this century. I was not alright. I was in immense pain. I felt that someone had torn my soul from my body. I lost interest in everything. All I remembered was her cold face. I was confirmed that she was my mate when I saw her for the first time standing in front of my mother when I was still not able to get her scent. She had lowered her eyes and her face was devoid of every motion. I was angry because she didn’t acknowledge me as his mate the second our eyes met. An emotion crossed her eyes only for a fraction of a second and then they went cold.

All I remembered was my rage. I was not rejected by any she-wolf and her silent rejection was a big slap on my big ego. I could feel that she was strong, stronger than me. She was standing in front of me and my mother. We both were pure alpha blood and our auras were not something to be dealt with so easily. She had a small frame of five feet or maybe five inches with an athletic body. She was lean but the curves were in the right places. She had the most mesmerizing emerald eyes. The only things that were missing in her eyes were the spark and happiness. Titan was howling in my mind because he did acknowledge her as our mate but he was not able to contact her wolf as if there was a wall guarding her wolf. When my mom asked her to stay so that her wolf could come out for a run, she refused and said that her wolf could manage. That was when I lost my temper and did what I didn’t want to do.

As soon as I held her wrist, I felt the sparks all over my body. I felt that I was hit by electricity but in a very good way. She released her scent only for a few seconds and then masked it again. I was furious when I got the whiff of omega scent. She was clearly not an omega but her scent clouded my judgement and I did what I didn’t want to do. I rejected her with my half heart and I got the shock of my lifetime. She accepted my rejection without giving me any emotion on her face and then left me broken and writhing in pain as I was nothing in front of her. She rejected me as her king too. When I regained my senses, I ran all over the palace but I didn’t find her.

Now it had been three days since she accepted my rejection and I was still in pain. I couldn’t tell my parents about what I did because it would infuriate them. I wanted to know where she went but didn’t have the courage to ask my mother. She was the only one who knew where Pearl went. Titan was howling in pain all the time. He confirmed that the bond was still present even when she had accepted the rejection. It was also a reason for my worry. I could feel her pain, her sorrow and it was killing me. I felt that I would go crazy if she didn’t come back soon.

“What happened?” I asked Duke, our head warrior who was looking worried when I reached the training ground in the morning. “Uh… it’s nothing prince Ruth”, he said with a poker face but the worry in his eyes was clearly evident. “Duke… tell me what happened?” I asked him again in a firm tone this time. Asher also came near to me and his face also had the same expression. “It’s about the leader of The Recruit”, Asher spoke this time and I snapped my head towards him. “What about her?” I immediately asked in panic and this time both Duke and Asher looked at me with concern. “Ruth… are you okay?” Asher asked me with concern instead of answering me.

“To hell with me, what about her, Asher?” I yelled this time and everyone halted whatever they were doing around me. “Her team has come back early this morning. They said that they couldn’t contact her when they reached where they were supposed to meet her. All of them searched for her the whole day but couldn’t find her”, he said and I felt that someone had knocked out all the air from my body. “What do you mean that they couldn’t contact her?” I held him from his shoulders. “Ruth…. Control yourself”, Duke suddenly held me by my shoulders and commanded me. I snapped my head towards him and snarled at him showing my canines to him.

“Ruth… stop… you are losing Titan”, Asher spoke this time in pain and I snapped my head towards him angrily. He had a painful expression on his face. I felt something wet on my fingers and the metallic scent of blood hit my nostrils. “Titan”, I roared at my wolf and closed my eyes. He started scratching the back of my mind to get control. All he wanted was to run to find Pearl. “She is in danger…. Let me go you pathetic human”, he roared at me. Suddenly, I felt that I was tackled down on the ground. I knew that Duke and Asher were now trying to pin me down on the ground, but it was hard for them because it was not me but Titan.

“Titan… give control back to Ruth”, we heard our father’s alpha command and Titan howled aloud. He slowly retreated back into my mind and blocked me. I fell down on the ground and drifted into the darkness. When I opened my eyes again, I felt that I was crushed by a train. I groaned in pain and tried to sit down but yelped in pain. “Ruth… take it easy, son”, I heard my mom’s worried tone. I opened my eyes and looked up. “Mom”, I called her and she passed me a glass of water. “What happened to you, Ruth? Why is Titan so restless?” she asked me in a gentle tone after I finished the glass of water. I didn’t look at her this time. “You are awake”, I heard my father’s voice and looked at him. I was in my room on my bed.

“What happened to me?” I asked my dad because I remembered that I heard him the last time before losing my consciousness. He came near to me and sit down on the bed near me. “Look at me, Ruth”, he commanded me and I took a deep breath. I looked at him straight into his eyes. “You lost control over Titan when you heard about the Pearl. Why?” he asked me and that was when it hit me. “Pearl… yeah… where is she?” I questioned him back. He was taken aback by my question. “Ruth.. I already warned you before. She is off limit for you”, this time mom spoke in a cold tone.

“Mom… her team couldn’t find her. What’s wrong if I am concerned about her, huh?” I was angry now but I couldn’t feel Titan. “That’s why we want to know why Titan react to the extent that we were forced to inject you with wolfsbane to make him retreat”, I snapped my head towards my dad and widened my eyes in shock. “You injected wolfsbane to me?” I asked him in disbelief and he nodded his head in agreement. “You half shifted and injured Asher. Your aura was so strong that the whole pack was on the ground even the pups”, he said in a firm tone. I lowered my head and closed my eyes in guilt. “I am sorry, dad”, I said in a low tone.

“Ruth… will you tell us what’s going on with you and Titan. You never lost control on Titan and Titan never showed his aura like this before”, dad asked me again and I gulped hard. I looked up at him. “I think… well… I feel that… that.. she maybe my mate”, I half lied to them because the bond was still there. There was silence in the room. I was not looking at them because I knew that they would catch my lie. “You got the wrong notion, Ruth. She can’t be your mate”, my mom spoke this time and I snapped my head towards him. I narrowed my eyes on her with disbelief. “And why is that, mom?” I asked her and she raised her brows because this was the first time that I questioned her back.

“You already know that she always keeps her scent masked. There is no way that you can recognize your mate if her scent is masked”, she said with confidence and I scoffed and laughed at her confidence. “Ruth”, dad held a warning tone but I didn’t look at him. “Why does she needs to mask her scent even inside the pack, mom?” I asked her again. I knew that she was pissed but there was no way that I was going to let her go away this time. “I can’t be your mate, Ruth. I don’t know why you feel like this”, I cut her off for the first time. “I can say because she released her scent accidentally and Titan recognized her as his mate too. He is pissed because he couldn’t connect to her wolf”, I said and this time both my parents looked at me in shock. I stood up from the bed and looked straight into my mom’s eyes.

“She is in danger out there and I can’t reach her because she has masked her scent. Titan can’t reach her wolf and there is no other way to find where is she? Titan is losing his mind and making me insane. Now tell me mom… why she needed to mask her scent. Just because she is an omega, it doesn’t mean that she has something very special in her”, I was now going aloud with every passing second.

Dad was now standing beside mom in a defensive stance and I could feel his gaze on me. “She is not an omega, Ruth. She is an alpha blood”, mom spoke after a few good minutes while looking straight into my eyes. I could see the fury in her voice. “Her sister, the firstborn of her parents, passed her powers to Pearl too, when she died during that rogue attack that destroyed her whole pack. That’s why, she needs to mask her scent”, she was cold in her voice, but her revelation blew my mind and I fell down on the bed again.
