MY SWORN ENEMY, MY MATE

unexpected visitors,unexpected encounter with her mate

The scene was very embarrassing because we all cried except for my uncle of course. I think we let everything out and even my mom whom i had never seen cry except at my dad's funeral. I honestly felt bad about all the tantrums and words I had said and I felt like it was my fault that I could not remember my own brother especially since my sister could overcome the spell on her that locked memories of our brother.

However, no matter what, I still could not just accept that my supposed 'grandfather' wanted us to move to his pack. We were witches and belonged to a clan shunned the most because of what our former queen of witches did that hurt the werewolves.

Our clan queen ruined the relationship between werewolves and witches in general so much that if you bear a Pink Twilight clan tattoo, not only are you an enemy of the wolves but other witch clans distance themselves from you.

We have hidden our tattoos with magic but we will bear them forever until we die or at least that is what they said when we got the tattoos. My sister got hers at 3 years because of her brilliance and I got mine at 5 years.

So after all the crying, I requested time alone and I went into the woods behind our house for some fresh air. My favorite spot was a rock close to the minie cute waterfall. This place was deep in the woods and far from my backyard but it was fine, no one would find me there and that's exactly what I wanted, to be alone.

I stayed on the rock sunbathing for a very long time and actually fell asleep. Honestly, after the past few hours I needed that.

However, my peaceful sleep was disturbed by something cold and sharp on my neck.

I slowly opened my eyes and I would not be exaggerating when I say I saw an out-of-this-world being. He was perr~~~fect! He had the most beautiful pair of sliver eyes matching his messy sliver hair.

His face was cold and expressionless making him even more handsome, I felt like I was in a dream. I mean what are the chances that I would meet such a handsome fellow in the middle of the woods? I was still a bit drowsy and I carelessly grabbed whatever cold object I felt on my neck and immediately jolted awake. He had a sword to my neck! First I had werewolves chasing me and now this?!

"W-What are you doing?" I asked

" Who are you?" He asked ignoring my question which came out first.

" I asked you a question first," I snapped

" I won't repeat myself," he said with a voice that would make any girl weak in her knees and no, I was not one of them.

" Now where is your logic? How would- ouch! Can you be careful with that, you are hurting someone who is innocent right here." I was losing my temper a whole lot quicker than usual. It felt like he had some sort of effect on my mood.

" If you don't speak you will get hurt." He stated with an emotionless voice. I have had enough of this.

I stood up, cleaned off any dust from my clothes using one hand which took long.

" Look I do not know who you are but you are trespassing. I do not know if I have offended you before but if I did I apologize. Now, if you would excuse me, I have a home to get back to." I added the last part to indicate to him that I was not ready for death or something like that, especially for something I did not do.

I turned my back and began walking away from him. Biggest mistake I had ever committed in my lifetime. He jumped, like jumped from the rock which was 100 feet or so from my position to stand in front of me blocking my path home. 'He is a werewolf.' Was the only thought in my mind and alarms began ringing in my head. Should I make a run for it? But to where? He was blocking the only path home!

Well being indecisive, he moved in a flash and pushed me against the nearest tree. I closed my eyes as I waited for a 'thud' and the pain I would after colliding with the tree but it never came, he protected my head with his hand. My heart which was already frantic went bizarre with him standing so close to me. I could smell his cologne, feel his breath on my cheek, and even with my closed eyes, I could feel his intense stare.

" Do not feign ignorance! Tell me who are you and who sent you! Tell me and maybe I will spare your life." Did I mention he has a rich accent that makes his voice sound melodious? I knew that, he was not joking about what he said but I could not help but be mesmerized by his voice. Everything about it was perfect.

Controlling my thoughts, opened my eyes and said, "Look, I will repeat what I have said earlier, I do not know you. And if someone is after you then perhaps I can help. You can hide in my house which is just after those trees over there. " I said as I gestured for him to look at where I was pointing at but as expected, he did not look.

" You-" He stated but was interrupted by an oddly familiar voice.

" Sky, what are you doing to my younger sister?" My older brother said as he appeared from the trees behind my house.

"B-big brother? Is that you?" I asked uncertain.

He gave me a goofy smile and nodded his head as though overwhelmed by emotion. Then he turned and frowned at Sky who still had his hand on my neck and had me pinned against the tree.

" Seriously Sky, what are you doing?" My brother said as he moved to free me but Sky stopped him with his sword.

" Not another move, Crimson." My brother looked shocked at the occurrence.

" Don't play games with me. You are close to strangling my sister and you want me to stay put?" My brother said after recovering from his shock.

" I am warning you, Crimson. One wrong move and I will end you." Sky said as he shot my brother a warning look.

" Man, what is wrong with yo-, wait, why are your eyes turning golden?" My brother said and he was right! I was not paying attention since he got here but Sky's eyes were silver now with a tinge of gold.

Sky ignored him

" Whatever it is, Sky, let's talk about it when you have released my sister okay?" My brother tried again. He moved two steps towards us and Sky threw the sword at him. I screamed at the top of my lungs but luckily, my brother dodged.

" What the hell is wrong with you?!" I was livid and I slapped him, right across his Greek god face. AFter the slap, I did not have the time to regret my actions because I started fighting him trying to break free.

" Aria, stop it! I am fine. And Sky, let her go. She did not mean to hurt you." My brother said trying to be the voice of reason.

Sky refused to let go, in fact, what he said next, shocked us beyond reason.

" Crimson, I can do whatever I want to my mate. Who are you to interfere?" He said but the last sentence was mixed with a low growl.
