"I need to get going, I am already running late for the meeting." I said pushing her off me.
"Wow that was just rude! See you later Z!" I heard her shouting after me.
By the time I got to the basement, Fenrir had already brought the car around. I jumped into the backseat and went over the documents one last time before we got to the meeting.
It run late but after the meeting, I had managed to secure a multimillion dollar deal.
"Where to sir?" Fenrir asked when I hopped back in the car.
I was totally exhausted that night but I could not stand the idea of not seeing her. I know that she had pushed me away that very day but I could not help it. Maybe it is because she made me feel something or maybe it is because I thought wanted to know why I felt something when I was with her.
I could not feel human emotions but when I saw her for the first time, I felt something, I spent my whole life looking for her and when I finally saw her familiar face at the bar that night, I just had to have her. I was obsessive with whatever this emotion was that I felt only when I was around her.
I had studied every human emotion because I needed to know what others felt that I could not. I felt an emotion for the first time when I met her. At first I thought it was because I was finally getting a hang over my emotions but when she left ,I never felt it again.
"Home. " I said.
I wanted to give her some space. It seemed that I had really pissed her off earlier so I wanted to stay away.
"Alright sir." Fenrir said starting the car engine. "Your deadline is in two days sir." He added.
"What?" I asked quite puzzled by what he meant by that.
"You said that you would get yourself a Luna in a month, a month ago. You promised the public and they are eagerly awaiting the reveal of your wife." He replied.
"Oh I completely forgot about that." I said.
I had been getting pressured into finding my mate as soon as possible that in that moment that I promised to get a Luna I'm a month's time it had felt like a decade from then.
"So sir, do you mean there is no one special?" Fenrir asked staring at me through the mirror.
I found myself smiling in that moment. I was thinking of her. Her perfect smile, her emotional self. Her small hands and how they fit perfectly into mine. I though of how she danced without a care in the world. How she could hold back her tears when s man groped her but could not when her Alpha thought that she had betrayed him.
Then it all came flooding back. How she looked at him as if trying to whisper a soft message that he did not quite understand. How she looked at him her eyes pleading with him not to judge her too harshly. He did not get the message but I did. She told him I meant nothing to her. How I was nothing more than a pape towel that she had used to wipe her bleeding heart.
Her heart beat weakly when he stared at her his eyes full of nothing but hatred. Her heart throbbed and so did mine. In that moment I found my smile fading. Perhaps that is why she has said that she wished that I had never gone to see her. Perhaps she hoped against hope that he would unlock the door to his heart for her eventually but when I went to see her I had shut that little gap.
I could feel her wish in the moment I called her my wife that he was the one calling her his wife. If it had been him then she would have been happier.
My smile had completely faded at this point and all that was left was this throbbing in my chest that felt as painful as being torn limb from limb if not worse.
"No there is no one." I answered.
"You have to hurry up sir, time is running out." He said.
"I do not think that I will be able to find myself a Luna, could you find someone suitable for the role?" I told him resigned.
"Alright, I will not let you down sir." He said a smile flashing over his face.
"And do not even think of suggesting Leticia." I said to him realizing that that may have been a part of his plan.
"I will not, I promise, I did not even think of her." He said, the smile on his face getting smaller.
I was right. It hit me.
"Hey Fenrir, about that whole thing about marking your mate, is there a way to remove the mark?" I asked hoping against all odds that there was a possible way.
I had made a grave mistake when I had marked her that night. It had just been burning desire that had led to misdirection. I did not want to keep her tied. I was ready to let her go. A small part of me however hoped that she would come back to me after I let her go. She would not.
"No there is none. " He said with finality
I felt my heart sink. She would now hate me forever. I was not sure if I wanted to feel what it was like to suffer her hatred. I sighed ready to accept my fate as the man she would hate forever her whole life.
"Actually I think that there is a way. I read about it in the history books. If a lady is left marked until the day of the full moon without being engaged in mating with her mate for a month prior then the mark shall erase itself on its own. It is also possible to remove the previous mark if another wolf marks her during the full moon." He said explaining in detail.
The full moon was exactly a month away.
