I was confused at the beginning about the unknown feeling had for fan. But now I could understand that it was because he was my mate.

We were bonded by fate. It was fated that I would fall for him.

My wolf was delighted to have found her mate. I felt the heaviness in my heart that had been building up over the past few months vanish.

It was always him.

I was relieved that it was him. Because I was in love with him without even knowing that he was my mate.

However, the mate he had been waiting for was actually me. It was as if I were dreaming.

On the other hand,

Ian was staring at me, not saying anything. His glowing red eyes had turned black. His eyes became cloudy, as if he were thinking something.

I took a deep breath before stepping toward him. He was a little distant from me. I glanced around us. Other boys and girls were staring at us in surprise.

I assumed they had only heard Ian’s loud growl and not my whisper.

I came to a stop in front of Ian and shifted my gaze to him.

“I–Ian. You are my mat-.”

“SHUT UP!”

I flinched at his loud and harsh tone. Everyone behind him gasped in terror.

He grabbed my arm tightly and drew me close to him. He glared at me and muttered in a low voice so that the others could not hear us.

“What did you think? I am pleased to have found you as my mate?”

“B–But Ian, it’s our fate,” I mumbled in reply.

He scoffed at me. “Fate? You are right. Fate. I fuck this fate.“.

The way he spoke and behaved caused tears to scramble in the corners of my eyes.

I blinked, and tears rolled down my cheeks.

“Why are you crying? Are you trying to play the sympathy card in front of everyone? Don’t try to talk about this nonsense to anyone else; otherwise, they will only make fun of you.”

“W–Why are you saying this?”

He let go of my arm and turned around to the crowd. He looked at everyone and asked,

“Ladies and gentlemen, this girl over here wants to be with me. I mean, like, forever. What are your thoughts about it?”

I lowered my head to hide my tears from others.

Everyone was shocked when they heard him, but then they burst out laughing.

“She is Ava Adler! What a shameless shit! How could an ugly girl like her want to be with Alpha Ian?”

“Oh, hell no. He said forever. Does that mean this little bitch wants to be our Luna?”

“Take a look at yourself, nerd. You are a disgusting girl.”

“She doesn’t even have a class, and she wishes to be with the future Alpha, the hottest boy in this pack? What an idiot!”

I tightened my fists while staring at the floor.

My mate had just made fun of me in front of the whole university.

How was I supposed to feel right now? My whole body started to feel numb.

I felt like I was going to collapse on the ground. The humiliation was too much for me. All of my life, I wanted to run away from attention but ended up being a nerd. People used it against me, and now my own mate had made me the center of attention, or, I should say, the center of humiliation.

Ian turned to me and asked,

“Did you hear them? I hope you got your answer.”

I did not raise my head to look at him. When he noticed I was silent, he turned around and walked toward the crowd.

People moved away to make way for him to go out. He left the locker area, leaving me alone to let them insult me

more.

I felt a hand grab my hand and pull me harshly. “You whore How dare you offend him? He had never done this before. You want to stay with him forever? He even turned down the most beautiful girls in our pack for his mate Only his mate can be his Luna, and you are a dirty bitch who does not even have the qualities to date a handsome guy, asking him to be with you forever?”

It was our pack’s beta’s daughter, Nova, who had just spoken out.

I did not respond to her. My whole world turned upside down.

She frowned at me and raised her hand to slap me. But someone grabbed her hand.

I raised my chin and noticed Debra glaring at Nova.

“How dare you bully me, friend?” Debra yelled and hurled Nova’s hand away.

“Ask your friend about what she did today. She is dreaming of becoming the Luna of this pack,” Nova said.

Debra turned her head toward me. To keep my sobs under control, I bit my bottom lip.

“What is she talking about, Ava?” Debra asked with confusion.

I rushed to the crowd and pushed them away from me.

I could hear Debra calling me from behind, but I was not in a condition to hear anything.

All I wanted to know was the answer. Why did he do that to me?

I wiped my tears and turned my head left and right, looking for the man who had mercilessly shattered my heart.

“Where is Ian?” I asked a girl.

She looked bewildered by a face that had turned red from crying

“I saw him going to the rooftop. Why?” Another girl said.

“N–Nothing,” I replied and shook my head.

I dashed to the stairs and climbed them to reach the roof.

I noticed that the door to the rooftop was slightly open. I went inside, and I saw him.

He was gripping the railing tightly while looking down.

I closed the door behind me and asked him,

“Why did you do that?”

He turned around and glared at me.

“You dared to come to me?”

“I want an answer, Ian. Why did you humiliate me like that? What have I done wrong to you? What was my fault?”

His eyes turned gloomy. His face appeared to be more fierce. His furious expression startled me. He started to ‘walk toward me. His move caught me off guard.
