Kate hung her dresses on the clothesline she had when someone grabbed her by the waist. Kate yelped, wriggling her way out, but she felt a strong hand cover her mouth.
"Hey, it's me! Don't shout. I'll move my hand away." Kate stopped moving and slowly looked behind her.
"Oh god, Thorne!" she said and slapped his hand away. "You scared me!" she added.
"Missed me?" Thorned asked and buried his face in Kate's neck.
"Of course," Kate shyly responded. "Why are you here? What if someone sees us," she added and looked around them. Thorne chuckled and made her face him.
"Who? I made sure no one was following me," Thorne said and kissed her shoulder blade. "Come on," he added and began kissing her.
"Okay, let's go inside," Kate said. Thorne smiled naughtily and carried Kate in a bridal style which made her yelp, and she immediately snaked her arm's around Thorne's neck.
"Thorne!" she muttered.
"Damn, baby. I can't wait anymore," Thorne said and kicked her wooden door, and put her in the bed. Thorne kissed her lips down to her nape. The next thing she knew, they were naked, kissing aggressively on the bed.
"Thorne, e-easy, oooh!" Kate said and moaned when Thorne sucked her mound hungrily.
"Say you miss me," Thorne said while he played with her erect n*****s. Kate bit her lips and arched her back.
"Ohh, gods! Ahhh," she moaned, loving the pleasure Thorne was giving her. "Thorne, please," she whimpered.
"Oh yeah? You really like me playing with your t**s, huh? Then say it, baby," Thorne teased and licked her left boob.
"I m-miss you! Oohhh!" Kate shouted in pleasure. How did things turn out to this?
Three months ago, she was still the disgrace of the pack, the omega whose body was weak and without a wolf. Kate never imagined she would find her mate.
--
It was a sunny day, and everyone was preparing for the mating season. Unmated wolves gather in one place, and with the Goddess's blessing, the wolves would start to feel their mates if they're lucky.
Kate Huxley was an omega. The lowest on the ranks. She's a werewolf without a wolf—an orphan at the age of fifteen and the disgrace of the Blue Stone pack.
"What are you doing here, Kate? You don't belong here," Jasmine said. She's Beta's second daughter.
"Yeah, Jas is right. You don't have a wolf, to begin with. So you don't have a mate," Hannah seconded, which stung Kate's heart.
"I was…I was t-told to come here," Kate said and bowed her head while playing with the hem of her old shirt.
"Let her be," Jordan said. He is the Beta's son and one of the few people who actually tried helping Kate. "Let's go. It's about to start," he added and pulled his sister away. Kate looked at them and then looked at the sky. Her mother had always told her the Moon Goddess loves all her children equally, but why did she make her an omega without a wolf? She wanted to have love like her parents, but what Hannah had said was stuck in her mind. Will she be able to have one?
Kate wanted the ground to swallow her whole. She tried to run away, but her feet were stuck. She kept her head bowed while the event started. Everyone began to move then it hit Kate.
"You'll know once you reach adulthood, my lovely daughter. It will always find you. You couldn't resist the pull."
Her mother's words resonated in her ears. Even without her wolf, Kate could smell a minty scent, soothing and calming every inch of her body. Gripping her shirt tightly, she slowly raised her head. Brown eyes stared straight into her, sucking her being. Kate couldn't breathe as she uttered the word.
"Mate."
Yet Kate's heart sunk when her mate averted his gaze and walked away. It was Thorne Winters, the Alpha's son. Kate whimpered while clutching her shirt. She waited for the event to end as per the Alpha's order. Dragging her feet, she slowly walked back to her house.
"Hey, I was waiting for you," a deep voice said. Kate looked up and saw Thorne in front of her tiny house.
"T-Thorne? Why…Why are you here?" Kate asked. Thorned slowly walked towards her. Kate gulped as she could feel the butterfly in her stomach running wild.
"Mate," Thorne whispered. Kate burst out crying.
--
"I love you, Thorne," Kate whispered and hugged Thorne while he kept thrusting.
"I know," Thorne replied, and with one hard thrust inside of her, they both reached their climax together. Kate was panting heavily, and so was Thorne. He lay beside her and covered her with a thin blanket.
"I have a meeting today. I just sneaked out to see you," Thorne said and sat up. Kate looked at him sadly while he was dressing up. She wanted him to stay, but she couldn't say it to him. Although they were mates, they kept their relationship in secret. It was what Thorne wanted, and Kate agreed because she didn't wish Thorne to be humiliated. After all, he was mates with the pack's omega.
"Alright," Kate said while forcing herself not to cry. Thorne brushed the stray hair away from her face and looked intently at her eyes.
"I'll come back when I can. Don't lock the windows, and I'll get inside using it," Thorne said and stood up. Kate nodded her head and also stood up, wrapping the blanket around her body.
"I'll walk you to the door," Kate said.
"No need," Thorne replied. "You have to rest. It seemed that you're exhausted," he added and winked, which made Kate blush.
"Thorne!" Kate whispered yelled. Thorne chuckled and went to her side, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"Bye," Thorne said and walked away. Kate sat on the bed, and tears fell out of her eyes. She doesn't understand Thorne. Sometimes his way was sweet, kind, and caring, but sometimes he was cold and distant, but her heart still beats for him. Her mate. The one that Goddess gave her to love all her life.
