An Enemy Called Mate

TANIA

It’s relieving to know that Ziva is gone. She has always been a headache when we were younger as she dislikes me a lot. The look on her face when she realized that she was an illegitimate child was very much satisfying. Meanwhile, I found my mate, Nikolas.

Strangely, Nikolas persisted that I stay at Granelma pack and not come to his pack, because there were some problems he had to solve. I believed him, but I couldn’t take it anymore. Other Alpha’s daughters are in their mate’s pack, why should I not be in mine?

With an Omega, I went to his pack. Sadly, some men stopped me, as my car reached their pack’s border.

I pressed a button, causing the car’s window to roll down. I took a swift glance at the men. They were hefty and muscular.

“Hello,” I spoke, smiling widely.

“What pack are you from?” A muscular man asked politely.

“Granelma Pack,” I replied softly. Inwardly, I chuckled, because I would be their Luna and they would bow to me.

The man paused for a moment like he received a mind link. Then, he turned to me, “Alpha Nikolas does not have an appointment with anyone from the Granelma Pack.”

“Excuse me,” I chuckled amidst my statement, “I’m not here for any appointment. I’m here to stay with my mate, Nikolas.”

The man moved away and stared into the air for a minute. Perhaps, he is mindliking Nikolas. Goodness, whatever they want to do, they should make it snappy.

“Let her in,” the man spoke authoritatively, and the other men obeyed instantly.

The driver drove into the pack. Glancing at the pack’s environment from the window made me feel giddy.

Finally, I can meet my mate, and be the Luna! Yipee!

I was welcomed by some well-dressed Omegas. At that moment, my mate’s scent mingled in the air.

“Here he comes,” My wolf uttered. I adjusted my hair and checked my body.

Alright, I look gorgeous, intact, and ready to be his Luna.

I faced the direction of Nikolas’s scent and spotted Nikolas. He walked towards me with a smile. Afterward, he pecked me on my cheeks.

“You look… Gorgeous,” He complimented, causing my wolf to wag her tail, while I blushed.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“I always look gorgeous,” I smiled, flaunting my hair.

Nikolas ushered me into his mansion. Hmph, I wasn’t surprised with the building, it looks similar to my father’s building.

“I told you, I need to solve some problems,” he whispered, causing me to pout.

“Fine, you have some problems to solve. But that should not mean that I can’t stay in your pack.” I replied.

“Tania, you aren’t reasoning with me,” Nikolas spoke. He turned, faced me and he held my hand.

“You shouldn’t be here, Tania. It’s very dangerous.”

“Hmph, I’m not listening to you,” I replied, crossing my arms.

“Alright…” Nikolas responded. He released his grip from my hands and continued, “I need to attend to some things.”

“Okay,” I replied. Meanwhile, my Omega packed my luggage into Nikolas’s bedroom.

A few days later, I took a tour around the pack and everyone in the pack seemed to love me.

Then, I met Nikolas’s Betas, a male and female. The male Beta was very nice and respectful, but the female Beta was the opposite.

I heard that she is very strict, and she accepts no nonsense. She protects the pack confidently, even though she is an inferior Beta.

The moon cast its light on the window pane. It was nighttime again, and Nikolas had not returned.

Earlier, he mentioned that he would be very busy with a note that he may return very late.

It makes my wolf excited to know that he is a hardworking Alpha, but she feels lonely at times. I mean, Nikolas did not complete the mating bond after marking me.

He has not accepted me as his mate and future Luna, even after being intimate with him in the dining hall. Sigh… If Mother knows about this, I will get an earful.

Creak!

I heard a soft, quiet creak from the door. I turned my head, hoping that it was Nikolas.

“You came… Earlier than I expected,” I uttered, chuckling nervously, but Nikolas didn’t respond.

I could not even detect his scent.

“Nikolas,” I called out playfully. I approached him and embraced him, and he didn’t say a word.

“What’s wrong? You are acting strangely,” I uttered, glancing up at my Nikolas.

To my utmost surprise, his face was masked. It was very dark in the room, and I could not see his figure properly.

“I can’t sense Nikolas’s wolf,” My wolf uttered and fear gripped me. Isn’t he Nikolas?

If he is not Nikolas, then who would it be? Who would come to my room when it’s this late at night with a black mask on his face?

My legs wobbled. Quietly, I moved back, and the man in the doorway squinted his eyes. Perhaps, he was suspecting my movements.

“He-”

Before I could complete my statement, a soft handkerchief was wrapped around my face. The handkerchief caused my yell to sound like a muffled sound.

I struggled to move away from the handkerchief. But with a strong grip on me, I could not move. I was stuck and my body was moved slightly.

“Tania?” I heard a faint voice say and it sounded like Nikolas’s voice.

Then, darkness clouded my sight, and I succumbed to it.

“Tania? Tania, are you awake?” Nikolas’s voice echoed around me, causing my eyes to flicker.

Upon seeing his face, I raised my hands and reached for his cheeks. Cupping his cheeks with my bare hands, as my skin made contact with his skin, I realized that I was not daydreaming.

“I am alive,” I muttered, my voice slurring. My gaze wandered around the room, as it met two other people; Nikolas’s Betas.

The superior had a concerned look on his face, meanwhile, the inferior Beta had an angry look on her face.

She seemed annoyed at my appearance.
