Wooing

Chapter 2

Anestesia

1 besturings him hoping this time that he was really making cruel joke. Angelica was his mate?

She had been a common friend Julian was our senior at the academy, but we somehow became friends

Hack at the Alpha Academy, we used to often hang out together with our other friends. In fact, we had grown so close that we became an inseparable group of friends

She had transferred to another academy out of the country and then we lost touch as she got busy in her life and we in ours.

I could not believe my rotten luck. It would have been easy to blame an unknown woman for the misery this was causing

But having a friend replace you was gut wrenching-

|_ “How? Were you both dating at the academy?”

Lasked, disbelief evident in my voice.

“No, Ana Had I known back then that she was going to turn into my fated, I would have never pursued you.”

He answered in the same blunt, honest voice.

And I was not sure if I was supposed to laugh at myself or cry. He was being so calculative and dry to me all of a sudden.

It was as if his heart and mind had already accepted the decision and his wolf had made up his mind.

“Then?”

He gently reached for my wrists and pulled my hands away from his crisp, ironed shirt.

“I don’t know, Ana. I had never felt like this for her before. She was always a friend to me. But last week, her father, Alpha Logan, invited me to a meeting. I was not aware that she had returned and her father casually mentioned that she was back in town.”

I kept hearing him while trying to hold the pieces of my broken heart together.

“I..I did not know she would turn out to be my fated mate. I and her father were just chatting, and she casually walked into the office. And the moment she stepped in, my wolf roared in my head and the scent was unlike anything I had picked up on before. 1..I could not take my eyes off her, Ana

I clenched my fingers into fists. Here was the man I had loved to the moon and back, casually explaining how his heart suddenly started to beat for another woman.

This could not be happening.

“The mate bond. I had given up on finding a fated mate. I was happy and content with you. But, the Moon Goddess finally gave me a fated mate. And now I am not sure what to do.”

He looked at me with a miserable expression.

Was I supposed to tell him what to do? Was the answer not clear?

“When we put the pack first, we also made another promise to each other. We promised that we would stick with each other

I looked into his eyes, desperately trying to search for the trace of love, the slight flaring of his eyes when he would look at

I had spent several nights staring into those blue eyes, wondering how on earth did I get so lucky to have him as my

husband.

Guess, tny luck ran out.

Now he did not want me.

“This cannot happen, Ana. What about us? He claimed us My wolf, Xena, cried in my head.

She was having it a lot worse than me. My wolf was sensitive and took a lot of time to open up to Julian.

“we will be fine, Xena,” I answered, though I hardly believed it myself. Nothing was going to make it fine.

“Please, Ana. I am not doing this to hurt you. But the pack needs a true luna” Julian added, wanting to put an end to the

discussion.

That felt like a tight slap on my face. I had spent so much time building our name and reputation, and all of that was tossed into the bin after his fated mate’s arrival.

“Tell me one thing, Jules…Julian” I corrected myself. Jules was the nickname I had given to him.

He did not deserve any love or sympathy from me.

“What if I found my fated máte before your What if I was the one to deliver this news to you? What if you were the one on the receiving end?”

I asked, and I saw anger rise up in his eyes. His gaze turned icy.

That was good. At least there was some reaction.

“That is never going to happen. I found my mate before yours, so let us not talk about what–ifs. Plus, I have a solution.”

Julian added, and I looked up at him, wondering for the first time if this was the same man I had fallen in love with head over heels with

“And that is?” I asked, not able to keep the sarcasm of my voice

It was getting very difficult to process everything, to maintain my calm and not dissolve into a fit of sobs.
