Chapter 125 Must be mistake

BECKY

The moment I stared into Silas Moses’ beautiful golden eyes, I knew something

was wrong.

I couldn’t explain it, but there was a warmth, an urge in my b*dy that was almost electric. It was an intense yearning unlike anything I’d ever felt before, and the sensation was almost enough to bring me to my knees.

What was this primal feeling within me?

All was answered, though, when Silas wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to his chest. The moment the growl came from his mouth, I knew it in my

bones.

“Mate,” he practically snarled.

Mate.

Everything was so clear now.

My heart raced so quickly that it felt almost as if it was going to leap from my chest at any moment, and that feeling only grew worse when I heard that word. This

all felt so unreal.

Mates- true, fated mates, were rare. I knew it just as well as anyone in Wegalla. Though I’d always hoped to find my mate, I knew it was s tupid to cling to such an

unrealistic dream.

But now, it was more than just a dream. It was a reality.

My fated mate had finally revealed himself to be Silas Moses, the Beta of the Crescent Pack.

I didn’t know what to do as we stared into each other’s eyes. What could I say to such a gorgeous man like him? Though I knew realistically, he was a total stranger, it was as if my soul had always known him.

Before I could say a word, he drew me closer to him, and he embraced me tightly. He was quite tall, but as we hugged, it was as if our bodies were made to fit together. His scent was warm, like cin namon and cloves, and as it filled my nose, I felt somehow, like I was home.

The tender moment between us was interrupted when I heard someone clear their throat beyond us. Suddenly, my cheeks grew hot, and I began to break out in a

nervous sweat.

“Can you please let me go?” I requested as politely as possible.

Silas took his sweet time, but finally, after a few breaths, he released me. He took a step back, but not a large one, so he was still in close proximity to me.

The Alpha King suddenly cut through the crowd and approached us. I bowed in respect as the warmth on my face grew stronger. Surely, I looked like a pink-faced

I

fool in front of the whole Pack. And at my first celebration, too!

I tried to look for Cas sy, but she was nowhere to be seen.

The Alpha King smiled at us, and then his serious gray eyes fell on Silas.

“Silas,” he greeted his brother-in-law warmly. “How wonderful it is to see you. And even more wonderful that the Pack’s Beta has

found his mate.”

This time, Silas’ cheeks began to redden, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, his father, Oliver Moses stepped in. His hazel eyes were furious and his nostrils flared in clear agitation.

“There must be some mistake,” the older man said sternly, and his sudden glance at me felt so intentionally spiteful that I almost shrank back in fear.

We stared at one another, and I couldn’t help but shiver. He was so sullen and angry, but I couldn’t understand why. I’d never spoken to him before, nor had 1

O

anything to do with any of this. I hadn’t planned to be Silas’ mate.

Oliver spoke again, this time with more disgust in his tone. “Silas couldn’t have

a mate like her.”

My heart suddenly felt cold, and I turned to look at Silas. He was staring at me too, yet he didn’t say a word.

The silence felt like it lasted an eternity, until finally, Oliver gestured forward.

“You will come with me,” he said quietly to his son.

Silas lingered for a moment and then gave me one last look before he nodded. and followed his father. The crowd parted to make way for them, and as they disappeared to a different part of the room, my stomach twisted into knots.

I felt ashamed somehow. I didn’t understand what I had to feel so bad about,

but I couldn’t help but notice how the upper-cla*s werewolves stared at me with condescending eyes. I remained frozen in place and didn’t move until Cas sandra finally appeared.

“Becky,” she breathed, and she gently grabbed my hand. “Are you okay?”

I nodded and gave her a tiny, panicked smile. “I… I think so.”

“I’m so sorry,” she whispered just low enough for us to hear. “Do you want.

leave?”

I took a few long, deep breaths, and considered her offer for a moment, but I

shook my head.

“No,” I decided, and I gave her a genuine smile. “I didn’t come here because ! dreamt of finding a mate. I’m here to enjoy the party and get away from my mother and her sickness for an evening. I’m not going to run away. I’m here to have a good time with you. We deserve it.”

“Yes we do,” Cas sandra agreed. Her pretty emerald eyes glittered, and she squeezed my hand. “Come on. Let’s have a good night. We can worry about the rest

later.”

“Sounds perfect to me,” I said.

The rest of the evening carried on quite splendidly. After another half hour of mingling, we were served an incredible meal of some of the most delicious food I’d ever had before. The music was lovely and I had fun joking and talking with Cas sandra.

But, there was part of me that couldn’t focus.

My eyes kept following Silas, no matter if I wanted to or not.

Luckily, he seemed too distracted by all of the attention being placed on him. He was, of course, the focus of tonight’s celebration. He mingled with the important. people in the Pack, and as he carried on with conversations, it seemed like the whole situation between us had been quickly forgotten by most of the upper-cla*s guests.

As I sipped on my champagne, my head began to swim with thoughts.

Just like what Oliver had so rudely said earlier, the whole thing could be a mistake, couldn’t it?

But just as quickly as the idea entered my mind, I knew it wasn’t true. What

Silas and I had both felt was real.

But if so, why had Silas listened to his father and walked away from me? Wa rejecting me as his mate?

L

I suddenly felt suffocated. I needed to leave right now.

I didn’t want Cas sandra to worry about me, so I made up an excuse.

“I need to run to the bathroom, Cas sy,” I said to her. “I’ll be back in a little bit.”

Her eyebrows creased together and she studied me for a moment, but then she nodded. “Okay. I’ll be right here.”

I nodded back and then turned on my heels and left the hall. I quickly rushed to the nearest bathroom, and once I reached the sink, I splashed a little cold water on my face. Not enough to ruin my makeup, but enough to calm me down. Cold water always brought me peace.

I took a little bit to relax.

“It’s gonna be okay, Becks,” I a*sured my reflection.

Once my heart rate was under control, I left the bathroom, and just as I wa about to return to the banquet hall, I spotted Silas. He was standing near the entrance of the room, just staring at me.

I decided to turn back to avoid him, but before I could get too far, Silas rushed over to my side and gently touched my arm.

“We need to talk,” he said.
