Can't be my mate

Derrick's POV

I took in a long breath as I inhale the familiar breeze of the town, everything was just the way I left and imagined it.

As I looked outside the car window I could see the tall giant trees on each side of the road making the town looks so captivating just the way I wanted.

It's been three years since I left California to further my education, every moment of the day I dreamt of coming home and ruling over my pack.

''Baby.'' Emma whispered seductively as she placed her head on my left shoulder

''Yes dear.'' I asked while I gently ran my fingers through her hair.

''I'm exhausted already, I need a good sleep.'' She murmured with her eyes closed

hearing those words from her, I placed a kiss on her forehead and spoke up

''Just a little long, let say hi to the pack, and after that, we can have all the sleep in the world.'' I assured her.

''Alright.'' She sighed and removed her head from my shoulder.

''Seems we are here.'' I said those words as the driver drove into the mansion.

''Woah, so many people, I bet there are all here to see their beautiful Luna.'' She flipped her hair proudly around and chuckled softly.

''Yes, everyone is here just for you.'' I kiss her on the cheek, went for the door, opened it and made my way out of the car before taking Emma's hand and let her come out of the car.

I could hear cheering and clapping of hands as I turned around to face the people of my pack and other guests who came to Welcome me.

''This is perfect.'' Emma smiled proudly and wrapped her hand around my left arm.

''Let's go in.'' I said those words, and we started walking towards the main door of the mansion, while everyone made a way for us to walk through.

I could hear sounds of amusement from almost everyone as they kept staring at me with wild eyes but Also in fear because I knew they must have heard what I did a year ago.

The moment I stepped my feet into the sitting room, a strong breeze blew on me, and it took everything in me to gain my balance.

''Mate.'' My silent wolf howled in excitement.

Confusedly I turned to Emma and noticed she was smiling and waving hands to my subjects who slightly lowered their head in respect.

''Mate.'' My wolf whispered again in excitement, and this time I felt a cold shiver ran through my body.

Just then I perceived a fascinating and enticing scent, this person scents like fresh honey mixed with nutmeg while Emma scent like a fresh watered hibiscus flower.

''What is going on.'' I whispered to my wolf who did not reply but rather he became restless.

''Derrick.'' Father's voice got my attention.

Quickly, I snapped out of my thought and moved my gaze towards the direction of his voice.

''Welcome home.'' Father flashed me a welcoming smile before giving me a tight hug

''Your pack misses you, glad to have you back.'' He gently tapped my shoulders and moves his gaze towards Emma and gave her a comforting smile before walking away.

''Mate.'' My wolf howled in discomfort and became restless.

This was perplexing, Emma was right here with me yet, my wolf was howling for his mate, like she was somewhere else.

Angrily, I took in a deep breath and found the direction of where the scent was coming from, with my eyes slightly closed I realized the scent was coming from upstairs, indicating the person was upstairs.

''I need to use the restroom, wait for me, I'll be back.'' I placed a quick kiss on Emma's cheek and walked towards the direction of the stairs.

I could notice members of my pack lowered their head in respect as I walked pass them.

Quickly I took the stairs and followed the direction of the scent, I walked pass the first room and realized the scent was coming from my room.

Curiously, I rushed to my room only to notice a small figure rushing out of my room, quickly closed the door and hit her forehead on my chest.

''Ahh.'' She exclaims in pains as she gently massaged her forehead before slowly moving her gaze to me.

''Mine.'' The moment I met eyes with her, my wolf howled in excitement, and it took everything in me to keep him in bay.

''Shit.'' I noticed her sea blue eyes widen in shock and fear.

Slowly, I moved my gaze around her with confusion.

She has black long hair which was parked in bum, her sea blue eyes looks calm and out of life, full lips, a pointed nose and a White lightning skin.

Quickly I realized I was staring and blinked my eyes before speaking up

''Who are you.'' I asked, as my words came out in a harsh tune which I believe brought fear to her, because she took few steps away from me,

''Who the hell are you.'' I asked again, as I was becoming impatient.

I wanted to know who she was and what spell she must have done to make my wolf become this confused.

''My… Name… is…'' she stammered and nervously gulped which angered me the more

''Can't you speak, are you dumb, who the hell are you.'' I yelled and grabbed her by the arms, which made her flipped in fear.

''I'm Victoria, the cook's daughter.'' She replied quickly with fear.

''Mine.'' My wolf whimpered in pains as I tightened my grip on her.

Angrily, I closed my eyes and tried to communicate with her wolf, but then I noticed her wolf was silent, more like she has no wolf.

''You don't have a wolf.'' I asked angrily as I took my grip off her arms, which has already left red marks on her arms

''Ye..s.'' she stammered in fear.

''Mine.'' My wolf whispered in discomfort while her scent became fascinating.

This can't be possible, she can't be my mate, I already found my mate three years ago, and she is already marked by me.

I perceived Emma's scents on her eighteenth birthday and had all the feelings one should have if he or she finds their mate, but why then I'm I having these feelings all over again, and towards a different person.

Angrily, I moved my gaze back to her, took a better look at her and realized she looks familiar.

''You are the maid who I warned never to show herself to me.'' I asked curiously.

Slowly she nodded her head but didn't say a word.

''No, no, no, this can't be happening.'' I groaned angrily and turned my back to her.

I can't be mated with someone like her, a commoner, fragile soul and to worsen it she doesn't have a wolf.

Emma is just what I wanted, all her life she has been trained to be a perfect Luna, gifted with a beautiful brown wolf, have the gift of Seeing past events and has a strong-willed character, just the way I want my mate to be.

But this fragile girl here, was the exact opposite of Emma, she looks fragile, scared and way out of my league.

Groaning angrily I turned around and met eyes with her, I moved closer to her, grabbed her by the arms before pulling her to myself.

I knew there was no way she was my mate unless a charm was done by a powerful witch to confuse my wolf.

''Tell me which witch or sorcerer made this charm for you.'' I asked angrily as I tightened my grip on her.
