My Mate {END}
Chapter 08's

...~Happy Reading~...

Penelope blinked her eyes adjusting the light that suddenly entered through the window. It was morning but Penelope was reluctant to get up, she still wanted to roll in her blanket.

Penelope turned her back to the window.

"Good morning, Your Majesty!" The cry made Penelope flinch and opened her eyes. He immediately woke up from his sleep and looked at the dozens of female servants standing before him while saluting.

Penelope gawked, her brain still processing what was going on right now.

"I'll bathe you now." Said one of the servants who unfortunately still had not been answered by Penelope.

Without waiting for Penelope's answer, the servants began to take care of her. Bathing, massaging, dressing up to dress her clothes.

'Wait what's going on?' Penelope still doesn't understand. He just found out that this is not his house.

Let's remember what happened yesterday.

Penelope tracks, is chased by wolves, meets Rosa, is chased by wolves again, injures wolves and is chased by wolves again until she meets Steve who claims to be her Mate.

Uh! Steve's...

...🐺🐺...

"So Miss Penelope Cruz is your Mate?" Jake asked in disbelief. That Penelope Cruz?

"I don't want to believe it either but that's how it is hahaha..." Steve himself could only leave. Damn, the sweet aroma of the woman continued to waft very stinging making Tev who was in Steve's body thrashed to want to 'eat' the woman.

"Let's calm Tev."

"How can I calm down? The smell is really tempting. You should mark it immediately."

"I've contacted Cruz's family and they're really worried about Miss Penelope Cruz."

"Now he's not Penelope Cruz anymore but Penelope Cameron." Steve said with a gaze that was still focused on the document in front of him. "Oh, he's coming." Steve said as he smelled that very pungent scent.

BRACKET. The door to his study opens violently, surprising Jake.

"STEVE!"

"You want to break my door? And also slowly your voice I'm not deaf." Steve said that made Penelope just speechless.

Penelope uses short blue sleeveless dresses and matching-colored heels, her long mane just hanging out.

'Uh, gorgeous.'

"I know I'm pretty, but you don't have to look at me that way." Penelope said confidently as she stepped closer to Steve who was still sitting at his desk.

Nyesel Steve muji's. But it looks like Steve knows what Penelope wants to talk about.

"What about the bath?" Steve was trying to shift the subject. He was lazy to explain it to Penelope.

"Yes pretty good, they massaged me well, smoothed my nails, took care of my hair... Don't switch topics! You'll have to explain something to me!"

"I'm sorry." Jake said bowed respectfully and then left, not forgetting that he had closed the door to his master's office.

"This means you're my mate." Steve got up from his seat and stood before Penelope.

"That's not what I want to hear. Besides, why do I have to be your Mate."

"Listen Penelope, you can't resist this or you'll be in excruciating pain when I reject you. I've officially proposed to you anyway."

"What?! When?"

"So early in the morning."

"Why agree?"

"See, he hasn't given a definite answer and he wants to come here but I forbid it. I'm afraid the Elders in the Green Moon Pack know of his whereabouts and are in the hunt. It's dangerous for you too."

"Oh, are you worried?" Penelope's ejek made Steve look at her intensely.

"Something." Steve couldn't take his eyes off Penelope's neck. Penelope who realized that smiled mockingly.

"Ey~ I'm not your type, why are you staring at me like that? Are you gonna bite me?" Penelope teased Steve while tilting her head making that smooth white neck look even more tempting.

Penelope had no idea Tev was struggling to be released and Steve was holding back from pouncing on him now.

Steve grabbed Penelope by the waist and brought her closer together. Steve's eyes sharpened making Penelope a bit scared, it seems he had gone the wrong step.

"You're the one who teased me first."

"Eh? What's?"

Where was his courage?!

Steve flicked Penelope's long mane and then brought her face closer to Penelope's neck, sniffing her gave Penelope goosebumps.

"Wait a minute Steve, you know if I'm just—"

"You're kidding. I know that, but you should also know that you can't joke around in this situation." Steve's deep, heavy voice whispered in his ear.

Steve licked Penelope's neck ignoring the rebellious woman in his arms. 'It's so sweet.'

Steve can't hold this. The net turned a fiery red color with fang teeth that had suddenly come out. "It hurts a little, hang on."

"What?! Steve wait I haven't—"

Jamb. Steve biting Penelope's neck made the woman scream in pain, he hit Steve's shoulder to stop her but couldn't. Penelope's head grew dizzy and her body suddenly went limp, the darkness picked her up.

Steve swiftly restrained Penelope's collapsed body, licking the traces of blood coming out of Penelope's neck. Steve's sure Penelope's gonna be nagging tomorrow.

Wrong too.
