Chapter 22 - Misunderstanding

>Yohan

I pulled Roxy along with me because I didn’t want the situation to get worse. I don’t know what got into her to say all this stuff but this has to stop.

I pulled her out of the restaurant but after that she broke away.

“Did you ditch me so you could fuck a human?” She spat the words at me and it made me lose my cool even more.

“Roxy! What is wrong with you!! What we do is out of necessity because neither of us are marked at our age!” Werewolves start finding their mates after their first shifting. That starts from the age of thirteen to fifteen, because that’s when they are able to tell who their mate is due to their inner wolf properly emerging.and usually all werewolves find their mates by the age of twenty to twenty two.

“Yeah but we agreed to be each other’s partners!”

“Yes. We did. Till the time we found our mates.” At our age the wolves inside us become too impatient for not having a mate so once a year, female wolves go into heat and males into rut. It is supposed to be like a desperate calling for their partner but really any person can quench the sexual desire.

“Well so why are you being all chummy and romantic with a human!!”

I felt something snap in my mind and I wanted to scream it out but I managed to control my anger. I took a deep breath and folded my arms, “Take a guess.” She was glaring at me so I did the same, “Why would I be like that with a human?” Her glare softened as she began to think and after a few moments she arrived at the answer.

“I-is she your mate?” Her expressions softened and turned to worry.

“Yes.” I declared, “She’s my mate and you’ve completely ruined a date I got after so much time!” I sighed, “I get the fact that having a human mate is rare but at least think before you act.”

“But then why have you been ignoring my texts?”

“What texts? When did you text me?”

“Like just yesterday!”

Yesterday?

I knew the answer to that.

“The hell? Did you change your phone again?” I massaged my temples.

“How do you know that?”

“Of course I can tell. Is this the first time this has happened?” I sighed, “You probably have the number wrong again.” God knows which person she’s been harassing this time.”

“Oh…”

“God Roxy! You’ve always been hot headed.” I stepped back, “We’re going back and you’re going to explain yourself.”

“Explain what? I didn’t lie about anything.” She folded her arms.

“Then lie now! Just tell her you were lying to tease me or whatever.”

She shrugged, “Fine.” She glanced behind me, “But it seems your mate just left the place.”

“What?” I shot my head around, “Shit!” I ran after her but as soon as Maya noticed me she started running faster, “Maya wait!”

I sped up and caught her wrist, “Listen to me.” I turned her around, “It’s not like that.” I held her shoulders tightly because I didn’t want her to escape but as soon as she turned to face me I received a slap from her. It left me in shock.

“You lied to me didn’t you!” There were tears in her eyes and she was biting down her lips to stop them from trembling, “You already have a girl.”

“I-”

“I hate liars! You jerk!!”

Rejection.

Pain.

Crucifying pain hit me in the chest and I immediately let her go to place my hand on my mouth as I felt the urge to puke.

Some of the blood came out of my mouth and I felt like my wolf was attempting to come out.

“I-” I tried speaking again trying to suppress everything but for some reason Maya’s expression started changing. From being sad it began to change into worry and nervousness.

“Why are your eyes glowing?” She said as she stared at my eyes.

Shit!

I stepped back as my head started throbbing.and vision started to unfocus. By each passing moment it was getting harder to keep my wolf at bay. I had no choice but to leave.

I took another few steps back, turned on my heels and ran away.

No matter what I can’t shift in front of her. I can’t let her see me in my wolf form.

I can explain things later.

In the night filled with sounds of passing cars and honking vehicles. Where the wind was completely dead and people walked casually on the footpaths minding their own business, I ran.

I ran with all my might even though it was getting more and more difficult.

Blood dripped down from my nose since I kept trying to stop it from coming out of my mouth.

I turned in the dark alley and ran into the darkness, letting myself loose once I was in the darkest corner of the place.

Dark black blood began to form a puddle on the floor as I vomited it out.

‘You lied to me didn’t you!’ Maya’s words resounded in my mind. ‘I hate liars.’

The pain in my head got stronger.

“I didn’t lie to you.” I whispered, “I love you.” I said the words but they would never reach the person whom I needed to tell.

I got up and began to walk again.

I have to go to the forest but I wasn’t sure if I would make it.

My vision was getting more and more foggy but I continued to struggle.

“Maya…” I breathed, “I really do…”

Note: Usually when male werewolves mark their females only then the pair start going into heat and rut and their pheromones do not affect any other person, just their partner.

When female wolves go into heat after being marked their body secrete pheromones (It’s a kind of inciting smell that appeals to the males and they go into rut for them and have their sexy time) but when werewolves who are unable to find their mate and go past the age of 24 they will go into heat and rut once a year so that their inner wolves cope up with their lack of mate.

Heat and rut last from 3 to 7 days.. Depends.
