For the next few days, everything went back to normal. Felissa had learned that they went to the 13th pack to check on Cinzia since it was where she was imprisoned.
It didn’t bother Felissa much since her mind focused on soone, her mate.
"Ah! Idola, what should I do?" Felissa whined while staring at the balcony with a long sigh.
"Lady, I don’t know as well. It’s too complicated for ," Idola replied, lowering her head since she couldn’t help her master.
"Why is he on the enemy’s side? Why can’t he just give it up and be with ?" Felissa whispered and leaned back.
"I-it’s not that easy, Lady Felissa. For sure, your mate wants to be with you!" Idola exclaid to cheer her master.
"I guess I just need to be patient," Felissa muttered, eating her food when her brain throbbed. She dropped the fork, which created a loud clang from the floor’s impact.
"My Lady!" Idola shouted and went beside Felissa to assist her. Worried sketched over her face upon seeing Felissa in pain. "Please wait right here, Lady! I’ll find a Theta!" she yelled with tears in her eyes.
"Y-yes..." Felissa replied, and Idola imdiately ran out of the room as fast as possible.
Felissa grasped her head and pulled her hair in response to her pain and discomfort.
’Felissa, can you hear ?’ Renata, Felissa’s mother, contacted her through mind-linking.
’Mother!? How are you!?’ Felissa sent. She felt good after hearing her mother’s voice. Although, she couldn’t help but worry when she noticed the distress in Renata’s voice.
’I-I’m okay, daughter, but your father isn’t,’ Renata replied.
’What? what happened, mother?’ Felissa asked, but she knew what it was but didn’t expect it so soon.
’Your father is terminally ill. His duties as an Alpha are halted, and I’m managing the pack right now. Please do sothing, Felissa, or our pack will be dood!’ Renata cried out in the mind-link.
Renata was about to reply, but the mind-link was cut off, and she couldn’t contact her mother again.
"Oh, my goddess! What should I do?" Felissa exclaid while biting her fingernail from extre anxiety. She started phasing back and forth while thinking of a plan. She knew her mother was hinting at her to find her mate or soone she could marry as soon as possible.
A knock on the door disrupted Felissa’s thoughts. She thought it was Idola with the Theta, but when the door opened, Vicenzo appeared.
"Sir Vicenzo," Felissa sighed deeply. Sohow, seeing Vicenzo’s face cald her wrecking nerves.
"Lady Felissa, I have sothing to discuss with you," Vicenzo stated. He wanted to talk about Felissa’s side if she could wait a little longer until everything was settled between him and Rosina.
Vicenzo wanted to keep it a secret but after a few days of thinking. He finally decided to tell Felissa the truth since she deserved to know.
"Sir Vicenzo! What should I do!?" Felissa ran toward Vicenzo and hugged him tightly for comfort. She didn’t feel any spark since Vicenzo was fully cloth and had gloves, so there was no skin contact.
"Huh? What happened?" Vicenzo asked in concern.
Felissa opened her mouth to speak, but no words ca out. She removed herself from Vicenzo and took a step back.
"I’m sorry for that," Felissa whispered, turning her back from Vicenzo.
"It’s alright, Lady Felissa. Please tell what concerns you," Vicenzo was eager to know what bothered Felissa, so he could help her.
Felissa wanted to whine about her mate ignoring her and didn’t acknowledge the mate bond. She felt pathetic and worthless because of that. She realized she was the only one chasing the man who didn’t want her.
’If only my mate accepts . Then my father will be able to rest from his duties. If only I’m good enough...’ Felissa thought while gritting her teeth. A fire started flickering inside her and exploded. She felt hatred and anger toward her mate for leaving her behind.
"Lady Felissa?" Vicenzo muttered since Felissa was not answering him.
"I hate him, Sir Vicenzo. I hate my mate! How dare he leave there knowing I’m his destined partner!" Felissa shouted, referring to what had happened back in the last attack.
"Lady... What are you saying?" Vicenzo’s heartbeat started to get louder. He wanted to dodge where it was going.
"You are right, Sir Vicenzo. I should reject him if he was dying to avoid at all costs! Enemies? Reasons? Bullsh^t! He simply doesn’t want !" Felissa faced Vicenzo and placed her palm on her chest. It was a sign of her sincerity toward her words. "He’s only a coward!" she added.
Vicenzo was taken aback by Felissa’s words. It was the first ti he saw Felissa’s angered face, which was enough for him to realize they would be over if he didn’t do sothing.
"Lady Felissa, it’s better if you take it slow. It’s a huge decision to make, after all," Vicenzo spoke softly to calm Felissa. Knowing she wanted her mate so badly, he didn’t want her to rush things and might regret it later.
"No! No! No! I had enough! My father is in a critical position right now! I can’t afford to wait for my mate any longer!" Felissa shouted with tears in her eyes. It was hard for him to say those words, but she needed to make sacrifices for her family.
"Lady Felissa, don’t tell —" Vicenzo was cut off.
"Yes, Sir Vicenzo. I will accept Lord Fabio’s proposal," Felissa answered sternly, but deep inside, her wolf was howling in disagreent and pain from her statent.
"Lord Fabio has a mate on his own. Don’t destroy a bond of another wolf," Vicenzo walked closer, and his voice beca deeper. His wolf was angry and wanted to claim Felissa, but he controlled it very well.
"Lord Fabio doesn’t want his mate, and it’s not my responsibility to think about them. If Lord Fabio wants , I’ll accept," Felissa answered. She took a step back when Vicenzo was getting closer to her space.
"Lady Felissa, you must not do it," Vicenzo spoke with his head down, making Felissa unable to see his eyes.
"And who are you to tell that? You are only my knight!" Felissa exclaid. She tried hard to keep a strong appearance but was breaking down. She disliked Fabio so intensely, and marrying him would be her hell.
"Yes, I’m your knight, and I need to protect you at all costs, even if my life will be at stake," Vicenzo smiled softly before raising his head and looking at Felissa with loving eyes.
That was when Felissa rembered how she was attracted to Vicenzo and felt all sorts of emotions spiral inside her back in the Mating event. She even thought Vicenzo was her mate, but she was wrong.
Vicenzo stopped an inch closer to Felissa. That distance was enough for them to feel each other’s heartbeat and presence. The sexual tension rose between them, and their breaths beca music to their ears.
"My Lady," Vicenzo whispered before caressing Felissa’s cheeks and pushing her chin upward to et his gaze.
"Sir..." Felissa gasped when she was swallowed by Vicenzo’s intense stare. Her eyes slid down toward his lips, and she admired the pink plumpiness that looked delicious to lick at.
