Unwanted Mate

Wish It Is All A Superstition And Nothing Else

Fleur sighed as she watched her sister get ready to go somewhere. Rosie’s rose scent was filtering through the room. Her name suits her perfectly because of her scent. Their parents choose her name based on her scent. Ever since Rosie knew that she was going to get mated with the love of her life, her scent has turned extremely sweet because this days she is extremely happy and because of that the entire cabin was smelling like roses drenched in milk.

“ At least tell me where are you going? “ Fleur asked, but got no reply. “ Rosie?” She called again.

Rosie sighed rather loudly, irritated that they are not letting her go out of the house by her own because of the stupid tradition. She hated when she had to stay at home. She was not a kid anymore, she can take care of herself.

“ I’m going out.” She said and Fleur rolled her eyes and sat straight on the bed to glare at her sister even more. Rosie has always been stubborn but right now was not the time to be one.

“ Really?” She fake exclaimed with her hand on her mouth for extra effect. “ I had no idea about that!” She added sarcastically.

Rosie rolled her eyes for umpteenth times and turned towards the mirror again, she was untangling her long hair.

“ I’m just going out for a walk and trust me I am not going to meet Noah even though I want to.” She added softly as she parted her hair in three sections and started doing the braid. Fleur observed her with concern on her face. Rosie wasn’t dressed in something fancy. She was just dressed in off-white long dress that had been her favourite since forever. It was made up of with cotton and it was exceptionally comfortable for long walk.

Fleur looked at her for a moment before she stood up from the bed making the bed creak a little and made her way towards her sister who was now eyeing her with curious gaze .

“ You know that it is not a good sign for a bride to step out of the house just before the mating. It is prohibited by the elders as well.” Fleur commented and looked at Rosie’s eyes from her reflection. Fleur was frowning at her as she looked at her through the reflection in the mirror.

Rosie sighed as she tied the bottom of her hair with red hair tie before turning around and frowning at Fleur who was looking at her with concern in her beautiful blue eyes. Fleur think too much and can be scared of smallest things.

“ You seriously believe in those stupid superstition? “ Rosie asked with offended look. “ They are nothing but just some weird beliefs of the wolves that lived hundred of years ago. “ She reasoned to which fleur frowned. “ They are dead and so should be their rules as well. “

Fleur was the one who had always supported those beliefs . She worships the moon goddess religiously.

“ You are telling me that you don’t believe in doing what moon goddess want us to do? This are the beliefs that are circulating for centuries now.” Fleur said and Rosie sighed before pressing her lips together. She hated to argue over such trivial things with Fleur.

“ That what u an saying. These are the beliefs made centuries ago! They are stupid.”

“ But why do you need to go today? Can’t you wait for one day and then you would be free to go wherever you want after you are mated. “ Fleur reasoned, trying hard to make her sister understand.

“ I am bored, seriously. All I have been doing is being coped up in this house and you know how much I love going out in the open field.” Rosie explained as she gave Fleur her best puppy eyes.

“ So you are going to the open field.” Fleur asked as she folded her arms on her chest and Rosie widened her eyes in surprise, she didn’t mean to say where she was going. “ You have gone to open field with Noah. Are you sure that you are not going to meet him in secret?” She asked with a raised brow .

“ Why are you acting like mother?” Rosie asked with a chuckle as she turned around to fastened the ribbon on her waist so that her dress fit perfectly over her body..

“ She knows?” Fleur asked.

“ Who?”

“ Mother.” Fleur answred and Rosie shook her as a no.

“ After you, I have to make her understand that I want to go out of this house.” Rosie said with a chuckle. She had always been the one who would spend hours and hours out of the house. Being in the house all day long feels as if she is in prison and Rosie had been in the house for always four days now, it was getting suffocating. It was the longest stay at home she ever had and she can take no more.

“ She won’t let you go.” Fleur deadpanned , knowing well that their mother would throw a fit.

“ I will give her my puppy eyes. “ Rosie giggled. “ Everyone gets weak for puppy eyes.” Rosie winked at her.

“ I hate how stubborn you are. “ Fleur sighed as she pressed a palm on her head. “ It is already afternoon and open field is literally near to the forest. By the time you reach there it would already be late.” Fleur almost whined to let it sink in Rosie’s thick skull and the girl somewhat understand that yes , it is not safe but of course that didn’t happen.

“ Byeeeeeee~” Rosie sing song as she made her way out of the room with Fleur on her toe.

“ Rosie!” She called, desperately trying to stop her stupid and stubborn sister.

“ Fleur please stop it.” Rosie said, but her voice came out more as a whine as she turned around in the middle of the staircase that lead them downstairs. “ I’ll be back before you even know it and just so you know, Alphas are not allowed to step out of their cabin ad well and trust me, Noah literally believes in those stupid things more than you do. So no, I am not meeting him if that is what you are concerned about.”

“ Why are you so stubborn!”

Rosie giggled as she made her way downstairs . Every step she took was light so that no one can hear her. She was really not in mood to face her mother right now.

She stopped at the last stairs and Fleur , who was rushing behind him nearly knocked thek both of the stairs.

“ What are you doing?” Fleur asked as she saw Rosie peaking in the living room . Rosie immediately turned to her with a finger on her lips.

“ Shushh.”

Fleur tied her lips and waited for whatever Rosie was doing.

Rosie smiled to herself when the saw that the road was clear and that she could step out of the cabin.

Just when she was about to step down, someone stopped her.

“ Where do you think you are going , young lady?” Rosie closed her eyes and prayed. Their mother can be sweet at times but when she is angry , you better start praying. But when she is angry then it can be hell.

“ Mom. . .” Rosie breath and Fleur crossed her arms over her chest. She prayed that at least her mother would knock some sense in her stupid sister. She was so tired to get her message into her thick head.

“ Where are you going?” Her mother asked as she glared at her eldest daughter who was now fidgeting with her fingers, it was her nervous gesture. When Rosie looked up from the ground , Alice, their mother raised her brow at her in question, demanding the explanation.

“ Mom. . . I am going out.” She said in a voice that was barely audible . “ I promise that I will come soon maybe in half and hour, please. . .” She begged as she stepped down the stairs and walked towards her mother. Her voice was so low that Alice had hard time to hear it properly.

“ You should not go out , Rosie. That is against the tradition of the wolves. You are getting mated tomorrow. You can do whatever you want after you are mated.” Alice scolded with determination in her voice, and she had a spatula in her hand which was now facing towards Rosie who just pouted.

“ See? I told you the exact same thing!” Fleur said as she stood beside Rosie who narrowed her eyes at her. She really thought that she had somehow managed to coax her younger sister into agreeing with her, but of course she was wrong. Fleur was a good girl and Fleur wanted to flick her forehead for that.

“ Do you think moon goddess would punish me for something so small?” Rosie asked as she walked towards Alice and hugged her mother tightly. “ I am going mom. Let me go. I promise to come back soon.” She said and turned towards Fleur who looked as if she was about to say something too. “ Want to come with me?” She asked and Fleur shake her head in a ‘no’ .

“ I have to place beads on your mating dress.” Fleur said and pouted at her oldest sister who just nodded and hugged her close to her chest.

“ Okay. You will make a pretty dress. “ She said as she pulled away from the hug and cupped Fleur’s face in her hands. “ Good luck.”

“ Rosie Roberts! You are not going anywhere and that is final, whether you like it or not!” Alice said with a stern face and Rosie sighed, her mother is tough nut to crack.

“ But I am going whether you like it or not.” She said as she leaned forward and planted a soft peck on her mother’s cheek. “ I can take care of myself, mom. Just relax.”

With that said , she ran out of the door ignoring the calls of her name that left Fleur and Alice mouth.

She was already out of the cabin when she turned around , her scent sweet around the house, leaving behind the trail and just like that Fleur felt it hard to breathe. Her Omega constantly started clawing her chest . Something was wrong.

“ I love you.” Rosie shouted to them with a smile that would brighten the whole world up but Fleur found it hard to smile. Her heart felt too heavy .

Her chest felt heavy as well . Something was not right and her Omega was trying to say her just that.

She turned to look at her mother who was looking at the door where Rosie was moments ago.

“ Bride leaving the house just before mating is not a good sign.” Her mother said with a voice too low and Fleur just hoped that it is just a superstition and nothing serious.
