The Reincarnated Moon Goddess

7- Preferences and Disasters.

I didn’t see him again until the cafeteria and I was glad about that. The three periods were enough for me to gather my thoughts about what I should do about the situation.

My mind was still in turmoil.

I have seen my mate.

And my mate is not aware of the mate bond between us.

What would a normal She-wolf do in this kind of situation?

She would walk up to him and kiss him. Own the fact that she now owns him.

What would I do in this kind of situation?

Avoid him while praying to the moon goddess that she changes his fate.

Because being linked to me would not make anything better for him. I would be nothing more than a cause of worry and trouble for him.

I wouldn’t wish that on anybody.

I still don’t get, maybe something was wrong somewhere, maybe it wasn’t his brush that triggered my wolf into calling him mate. Maybe it was the empty air. Something to remind me that I would remain alone forever. That would be more appropriate.

Yep, even senseless denial right now is the best option for me. I cannot imagine his life if we do mate… The horrors I would unleash on him.

I also would need to find out more about him, another task which I was not looking forward to. Yet something about knowing his favourite color or what his smell is like makes me excited. At least, I am a normal Wolf in that aspect. I want to roll around in his scent and just the thought of it is making my wolf excited.

I know better than that, the good things never seem to last, they are prelude to one bigger f**k ups that ends up being my life. I should be less worried about him being my mate and more worried about what crazy thing life would throw my way since I found my mate.

Bad things always follow every little good thing and they come in waves of three.

I hid myself as I took my tray of food, going down to join the crowd of human rejects to hide among them since students are not allowed to eat else were except the cafeteria and the lawn which doors of the cafeteria spills into.

Most wolves prefer to eat their lunch on the lawns, being closer to nature even for a little while, helps calm their wolves down after being shoved into a confined space for most of the day.

I wanted that luxury too but it is one which will never be mine. Not if I want to survive the rest of that school day physically unscathed.

Pineapples and Mangoes, earth after a light drizzle, the morning dew. Those scents invaded my nostrils and while I don’t like those things individually, together, they provide a very complex and yet interesting scent. Enough to make me take notice.

And surprise, the scent belong to none other than Kayne. The new wolf nobody knows much about but who also has the very prominent role of being her mate.

She almost snorted at that. Still she watched him.

She watched as Kayne moved to take the food as others were doing but there was something off about his movement. He acted like he was unsure of what to do. Looking at others actions before replicated what they did.

He was exciting to watch.

“Kayne.” A loud feminine voice called out to him and my head snapped to the direction which the voice came from. Of course, it was Amy. The human version of a queen bee. She knows to stay away from those from the compound but she was brutal just as Casey was. I believed that maybe the two were placed together and tutored on how to be a crazy b***h to others while they were younger.

Their malice and strong hold over the population of students whom they deemed their subjects were second to none.

“Do I know you?” Kayne asked, his voice a mixture of politeness and puzzlement, like he didn’t know which one to be. Once again, that made me feel like giggling but I didn’t.

I didn’t know who was watching me and might get angry at the show of happiness from me.

“Not really but that if because you haven’t talked to others yet. If you had, you would.” Amy confidently threw her hair over her shoulders and then moved closer to Kayne then she rested a palm on his chest. “We can correct that tiny mistake now.”

“I don’t think I would want to.” Kayne replied gently as he balanced his tray on my hand and used the other to remove Amy’s arm from his chest. I don’t think that I would want to know something who blatantly steps into my space and touched me without my consent.”

Amy cheeks flared red as wolves in the lawn and around started laughing loudly on cue. Everybody was clearing doing what I was doing, using their super hearing to listen to the conversation happening.

“I am sorry for that. I am a touchy feely person.” Amy replied. “How about you allow me to correct my mistake with an apology. I would let you think of what you want while you sit at my table.” Amy offered.

I was shocked and amazed by her balls. Kayne words would have made a wolf second guess her decision to remain in Kayne’s presence, especially since he got a frown on his face and his air of danger which seems tightly woven into any perception you try to get on him.

Then again, I guess wolves have better senses when it comes to danger around them.

“I am sorry but I don’t want anything to do with you.” Kayne said firmly.

“But…” Amy pouted while flashing her eyes, batting her lashes for all she is worth.

I gripped my fork tighter, wanting to stab Amy but knowing that my punishment for hurting a human and exposing all wolves to human would be death, I remained in my seat.

“Would you stop disturbing our friend Amy?” Ann said as she slide into Kayne side, trying to prevent a natural front against Amy, Something which I approved off with only one point of anger. The fact that I was not in her position.

I am not disturbing him.” Amy chin jutted outwardly. “He speaks with me so he much want to be friends…”

“He speaks to you to tell you to leave him alone. Surely you are not that blind to confuse that as want. Leave our people to us…”

“He doesn’t stay at the compound, he stays in my apartment complex.” Amy argued. “I have more in common with him than anybody here.”

“I doubt that.” Ann and Kayne spoke the same time then they looked at each other in surprise.

“Look, I have been nice enough.” Ann stated dropping her pleasant mask for a second. “I get that he is good looking and seems to like strays but I will not allow you to attach yourself to him because of that. You might one a boyfriend and he is the perfect candidate for that but find another one because he is taken.”

“You don’t have to be mean about it.” Amy frowned as she moved away from Ann.

“Thank you for saving me.” Kayne stated even while Amy was within hearing.

“You are welcome.” Ann replied shyly, tucking her hair behind her ears. Before she could say more, Kayne had already moved passed her to sit to eat.

Something which made Ann to stand in the middle of the room, gaping like a fish and shocked that Kayne walked out on her.

And as if his actions didn’t make people pay him attention, he choose to sit opposite me.

In my rejects table.

My cheeks burned at the attention which he caused to fall on her. It wasn’t like there were other wolves around.

“Hello, we meet again…” Kayne started with a smile.

“And I didn’t even want us to meet the first time. Please can you go somewhere else?”

“But I don’t know anywhere else.” Kayne replied with a smile. “Or anybody, You are the closest thing to a friend I have here.”

I felt like shaking, both from fear and anger. I also felt like shaking him for doing this to me but his expression was genuine, he really didn’t know what he was doing. Well, I give it a week, he will learn soon enough.

“I don’t want to be your friend. You have girls tripping over themselves to be your friends.” I pointed out, unable to remove the hint of jealous I felt which showed in my tone. Then again, it was expected since he was my mate. He just didn’t know of that fact so my jealousy was not explained to him.

He tilted his head to the side a little in confusion at my tone but then he shook his head when I refuse to add anything to my statement. “Yes, girls seem to be doing that but you are not and you are the only one I want to be close to…”

“Too bad for you because you are not welcome. Can you just leave already? You have already done enough damage.”

“What damaged?” Kayne asked but I didn’t reply him, I just stared at him waiting and his frown increased.

“Apparently, I am missing something can you tell me what it is?” Kayne asked. I snorted at his words and while I would want to want to tell him to drop the act or he should run while he can, I couldn’t speak to him anymore.

My wolf knew he was her mate and she wanted him. She was pulling hard at my control, wanting to take over and mark him but I had to think for the both of us. We couldn’t do that, not if we didn’t want to spend the rest of our life in regret. He would reject when he finally understands the way things works.

“You are going to ignore me?” Kayne asked with a strange disbelief, like he couldn’t imagine that being done to him. I rolled my eyes but kept them on my food as I plan on eating fast and leaving him and the cafeteria of wolves who were coming to sit inside and around us, just to hear better and also to threaten me with their presence.

When I didn’t reply him, he tried for a few more minutes before he pushed away from the table and walked away with his food tray but the damage was done.

Because as soon as he disappeared through the cafeteria doors, a message came. A pack message about my age group gathering today for some important news to be passed at the pack house after school.

The last time I went to something like this, I went home with a broken arm.

And then, all I was, was just a mild irritation for them. This time, they would be gunning for me.

Not for the first time and certainly not for the last, I feared for my life.
