The Night Wolf novel Chapter 21

"Say," Rowan wasn't willing to accept whatever lies she spat. He got the idea that she must be doing this in order to keep him away from Willow. "This Hunter is her mate, why does she not mention about him? I've never seen him here either. They could have dated if they're actually mates. It's not like Venice is a strict parent who'd not let her daughter have a boyfriend."

"That's because," Began Melody. "He rejected her and she isn't aware of it."

Rowan's blood boiled. Who was this Hunter to reject Willow? Rowan was sure Hunter was mud compared to Willow. Though he knew that whatever Melody was spewing was worse than Felix' theories, it still made him angry.

"I know you don't believe me. But I'm sure you are aware of the cramps Willow gets, its because of Hunter."

"What?"

"I saw you holding her, how you eased her pain. That is the reason why I came here. I heard that Hunter was bedding someone." Now there was fire in Melody's eyes.

Sky fell and the ground raised, smashing him in between. He had once read that if one from the pair of mates have sex with someone else the other of the pair, feels immense pain.

Maybe he had been wrong. Willow might not be his mate. But it sounded like lies. If she is not his mate then why is he madly attracted to her? Why does he feel the need to protect her? To taste her blood?

For Vampires to find their mate, they have to taste their blood. But Rowan had been sure that Willow was his mate and he didn't want to give her a scare by showing his fangs and biting into her. Then again, he had been sure that she was his mate. So he didn't bother tasting her blood yet, since he didn't want her to run away from him.

A mate's blood is something which is as close as an elixir for Vampires. It heals each and everything within it's capacity. But if your mate is a human, their blood works like a drug. It gives immense pleasure but also makes the Vampire addicted to it.

So Rowan had been stalling to taste her blood. But who would've thought that the person he had been sure was his mate, turns out to already have a mate.

"I hope you'll keep your distance." Said Melody before walking down the stairs. Rowan didn't give any attention to her, he was already drowning in sea of thoughts to care for what was happening around him.

With determination in her heart she she started wiping her eye and it moments her eye was cleaned but the wipe was dark in color. And that was the last of the wipes.

She'll have to make do of this wipe. But the moment she rubbed her other eye, the makeup was getting all around.

"Don't be like this." Willow glared at the wipe then at her reflection. Why does she look more like a panda now than before?

The only thing left for her to do was to get wipes from her mother. Her mother lives in the opposite side from where her room was.

"Mom," Willow said quietly in hopes that her mother has super hearing, but to her dismay, her mother who normally will even be able to hear her favourite vase breaking from the town over couldn't hear her very own daughter who was in a crisis, though they were living in the same house.
