Chasing His Ex-Mate

XIMENA POV

My heartbeat was drumming loudly in my ears and before I could say jack, I felt my wolf stir up with delight, she was purring loudly and wagging her tail with delight.

I had never been this happy in my entire life and my feet began walking, my tempo increasing with each step I took.

My legs had a mind of their own, my heart was experiencing bliss of a lifetime and my brain was swelling with so much joy even though I didn’t know what was happening to me.

The joy was unexplainable but it was real, it was mine and I felt the burden of years being lifted from my shoulders.

“What’s wrong with her?”

“Why is this cursed being here?”

“She brings bad omen…“

Not the harsh words of people stopped me from running, the scent I was tracing growing thicker with each second that passed.

I made my way to the market where hundreds of people were, and like one in trance, I began pushing my way through the crowd, I heard lots of people curse at me.

It felt like there was this great prize which the crowd surrounded and the prize was mine. The feeling was bigger than winning a million dollars, it was better.

My world lit up and the sunny day added to my delight. After pushing my way to the front where the most handsome and gorgeous person to ever walk on the earth stood, I froze.

I felt paralyzed for a moment with how magnificent and powerful he was, his aura was to die for and I felt myself instantly attracted to him like I’ve known him for hundreds of years.

For a moment we shared something… Sweet, sensual, beautiful, our souls were joined, there was this great flame burning inside of me and the more I stared, it increased.

“MATE” With great joy, the words slipped out of my mouth, a big smile on my face as I stared at my mate, the man I had waited for my entire life, THE ALPHA.

Alpha Alvaro’s face had a big smile before but now staring at me, it felt like I was with another person entirely.

“I reject you as my mate and Luna of the pack!” Alpha Alvaro announced, causing the once silent market square to explode with gasps of shock.

It felt unreal and I heard my heart shattering into a billion pieces. My face changed instantly and I became aware of my environment, my racing heart slowed down and increased almost immediately.

“No… No…“

One minute, I was thrilled to know the Alpha was my mate, I had bravely pushed my way through the crowd just to be before him and the next my fated mate rejected me easily without a blink.

In his disregard and indifference, the hidden haughty disdain in his eyes pierced through my soul as I felt my heart sink into my stomach.

“Alpha…“

“You’re not qualified to be my mate…“
