Chapter 3

Cinnamon and vanilla.

That's the scent of the sole female alpha that he is pining for since they were still both six years old. His simple admiration for that girl slowly turned into a crush until it developed into love. If Asher can only dictate his feelings, he does not want his heart to beat fast every time Sera is near him. He knows it is absurd to like someone who is not even his.

Each person in this world has a significant other. That person will accompany them until they take their last breath. Their other half is just waiting for them somewhere in this world. And their only guide is the splash of colors that paints their bodies together with the words that symbolize their other half as well as the deep longing their wolves will feel if they meet their soulmates.

Asher and Seraphine met at the age of six. Sera together with her single Alpha mother moved to the condominium next door. At first, Asher was not interested in their new neighbors. He does not want to be associated with other kids aside from his brother, Aster.

Ever since they were still kids, Asher does not like to play with other children because they all cannot keep up with his strength and talent. For someone who was born as a so-called 'genius' in their family, it was already destined that only a few people can understand him. But Asher does not mind it at all. For him, being a 'genius will only help him find the right people he can associate with.

But when he first saw Sera playing volleyball all by herself in the playground, his heartbeat was so fast that Asher thought he will die in a heart attack. Even the wolf inside of him was making havoc and ordering him to approach her. That was the first time the wolf inside of him became wild and uncontrollable after meeting another person.

It sounds so fucking cheesy but Asher knows that he falls in love with Sera at the first sight.

Following his instinct, he quickly made friends with the girl who always wear a bright smile on her pretty face. Sera is not only a sweet girl. He also discovered that she is a genius just like him and they share the same hobbies and interests. For the very first time, Asher made a real friend other than his brother.

At the age of ten, Asher had two things that he discovered about himself.

First, Asher learned that he is an Alpha. Second, he discovered to himself that he has the biggest crush on Sera. But to be honest, these things were no longer a surprise for him. His status as an Alpha was already a given seeing his possessiveness and independent personality.

Asher's second discovery about himself is something that everyone in his family had known since the beginning. Asher is the type of person who is never willing to hang out with just anyone else. If Asher is not playing with Aster, then he will obviously stay with Sera. Whenever Aster refused to play with him, Sera will be always there to stay beside him. The more they stay together, the more Asher's heart beats more for Sera.

On his sixteenth birthday, Asher got his soulmate mark. It is a blue and purple color splashed around the words that appeared under his left collarbones. His eyes widened in amazement when it slowly appeared on his skin when the clock strikes at midnight.

His mother explained to him the color, as well as the words that appeared on his skin, represents the purpose of his soulmate in his life. If that is the case, then Asher cannot understand the role his soulmate will play in his life. The words written on his skin is contrasting the colors that surround it.

After his excitement for the appearance of his soulmate mark slowly disappear, it was suddenly replaced with worry and anxiousness. If he already got his soulmate mark, then Sera will also get hers two months later on her sixteenth birthday too. His mother said that the two people will know if they are soulmates if their marks will appear on the same spot of their bodies. Since Aster got his under his collarbones, then his soulmate should also have the same mark on the same spot.

Asher can still remember how much he wished every day for Sera to be his soulmate. Asher's younger self believed with all his heart that Sera is his soulmate. He can feel it in his heart. Even the wolf inside of him is always longing for her presence.

Deep inside, Asher knows that Sera is the one for him.

But the universe has another plan for Asher to go against him. On the night of Sera's birthday, Asher's little heart shattered into pieces. There is no same mark as him that appeared on Sera's skin. There are no same blotches of color painted under her collarbones with a few words written on them.

Seraphine Parr is not his soulmate.

It only means there is another person destined for him. That also goes the same with the girl he is longing for since their childhood days. They are not meant for each other.

Asher cannot accept it. How is it possible? Even his furious wolf is having the same feeling like him. Is there a possibility that a mistake happened with their fate? Asher knows to himself that Sera should be the one given to him in this world. But why did it turned out like this?

The only person that he loves the most is not destined for him. There is another person that will love her with all his life. And that person will obviously love her until they died.

Up until now, Asher is still longing for Sera. What can he do anyway? Even the wolf inside of him is being restless every time she comes into his sight. Both of them are so much in love with the person who does not belong to them.

Sera has a soulmate. Asher knows it so well. Although she has no same mark on her collarbones, She definitely has one hidden on her body. Sera and her wolf are just waiting for their fated one to appear in their life.

Unfortunately for Asher, he is not the one she is waiting for in her life.
