Carla's POV
My eighteen birthday came in a jiffy. I was in that hall celebrating when a strange scent hit my nose. Kara was screaming in excitement like she found him, it was going to be our mate but then I stopped to contemplate on something.
The scent was two different ones, one smelled like bush berries mixed with coconut and almond which normally goes together, then the second smelled like Queen of the Night flowers coupled with almonds. There was no way these scents could belong to one person, they were clearly differentiated.
"Let's find them!" I said without knowing what I was doing. It's my eighteenth birthday, the day I had been waiting for and my dreams are going to come true. At this point, I didn't have any idea of who they were going to be, I was a little bit confused but then like an insane individual who was controlled by another force, I stood up from my place in front and headed towards the direction of the scents.
It wasn't in the hall, I got outside and continued to roam the large space of the estate which was filled with a lot of people. Then I heard someone call my name, it seemed like the Luna but I paid no attention, a greater force was in control of me and I needed to heed to its commands.
I walked still under the guidance of these scent till it stopped me at the large garden in the estate, before two persons I never for once expected of in my life. People I never wished to have in my life. Nessian and Sebastian. Even they themselves are shocked. They froze to the spot, same with me.
"Mate! You're our mate?" They asked with an overwhelming sense of horror. Then I woke up with a loud gasp.
Oh. It was a dream!
My heart began to beat so heavily, I panted really hard, becoming more and more unsteady on the bed. "What does all these really mean?" I asked Kara but got no response from her. She was as silent as ever. "Come on, you aren't answering me. Why did I just have these dreams and the instant connection before which came in a flash? Can you explain them to me?"
"No, I can't. You can only watch if they will come true in the future. Destiny has its own way which we can't comprehend!" It responded and all of a sudden went mute again.
It's the last phrase replayed in my head. "Destiny has its own way which we can't comprehend!" I gave a heavy sigh, shaking my head and returning back to rest. No one would believe me if I ever said this, and besides I got no one to tell. I'll keep it to myself.
*******
I packed the dishes on the table after eating dinner. I don't eat with them on the dining table. I eat my food separately in the kitchen and I am always the last person to eat. I washed the dishes and retired to my bed for the day. After tomorrow, I'm leaving this house. I smiled contentedly and pulled my bedsheet closer to me. I will miss this room. It has always been my warmth when I'm here. This room kept my pain, tears and sorrows. I spent most of my childhood here. I will miss this room but it's time I move out.
I sighed tiredly and closed my eyes, ready to sleep. But the excitement of having one day before leaving made me sleep late.
"Carla, when you are done clearing up, go dress up. I'm taking you out." The Luna said to me with a nod after eating her breakfast. I smiled at her and thanked her. I hurried up with the dishes and was done with it in no time. She told me yesterday that she would take me out today to get some stuff. I would love to have a dress and if it's from them, I'm sure it would be expensive.
I stepped out of the kitchen and Nessian blocked my way. A sharp prick hit me, I felt nervous, that I couldn't look him up in the face. I wondered if he also experienced what I felt some few hours ago. "Where's she taking you to?" He asked, eyeing me suspiciously.
"I don't know sir. She told me to go dress up". I replied. He hissed and walked away. I rushed towards my room and had a quick bath. I searched for a dress to wear and settled on a short gown which stopped at my knee. I have no good dress, most of them are worn out and out of style. The gown I wore was a short free gown with no design on it but the color, which is blue, makes it stand out. I've had it for a long time but it still looks good.
I hopped into the car and sat beside the Luna. The car took off and drove into the street. I watched the movement going on outside through the car window. Most of them look happy and free. I want to be like them. Maybe after getting out of that hell, I will be like them, free and independent.
But what of my mate or mates as I had seen in that dream? If I found one in real life after exhausting my period of servitude here, I would have started a new phase in my life. What if they loved me? What if they didn't love me? Let me just believe in what I saw or pretend to believe in it because of the impact it has had on me after that encounter. It didn't seem real after I witnessed it but it left a real-time effect.
Since that moment, there has been this connection between me and those evil monsters at the pack estate, hate is only one of the feelings we have for each other but I can't deny the attraction, the way they have begun looking at me each time we met. I hit my head several times.
"Let me not live in fantasy, these people are clear haters. I see no way they will become my mates! Besides they are beasts, the only thing hiding this from the world is their charmingly handsome looks." I say to myself, wiping the thoughts off and denying it never happened.
They are the ideal mates every girl would love to have, they have the physique, the charm and the grace and they are set to be Alphas, to take up the administration of the pack from their father. Aside from all these, their character can't be related. Anyone below their rank, most especially when not of Beta and Gamma stock are trash, while Nessian is cold and has no compassion, Sebastian is arrogant, flirty with girls and foul-mouthed.
I haven't fancied them as mates before, I didn't even before now fancy two persons as my mates but just one as occurring in most cases. With my fragile nature, I'm not sure, I'd be able to handle two men at least before having to choose one to spend the rest of your life with as the law of the Supermoon Pack detects.
