Chapter 2
SHIELA.
I walked home and I fell face up on the bed this time, I didn't restrain the tears that had formed in my eyes as I let them flow down slowly.
Once again, I was left alone in the world. Without anyone to comfort me.
But what if they were right? What if I was cursed and the whole of this was never a coincidence?
"Gulp." A large lump went down my spine like a stone going down a rocky tunnel.

Months. passed by and people still avoided me like I had some brain-eating disease. It was terrible. I could barely talk to anyone.
Whenever I passed by the streets, I could hear whispers all around me, calling me all sorts of names. From a witch to a cursed she-wolf.
All of this made me only remember all those tragic moments that I had to go through.
But as time went by, I was gradually beginning to get over Their deaths. Though it was painful, I just had to move on with my line as a loner.
I remembered the time we spent together. The both of them had always Wanted me to be happy and they Never Wanted me to be in a sad position.
Wherever they were, they would not be happy to see that I was sad.
And I was way too assured that I knew nothing about their deaths.
At least to the best of my knowledge.
I sighed deeply.
The police were still not done with their investigation. Nothing had been traced to me yet. At least not yet.
I stared at the kitchen for a while. I was running out of stock and. And just two days ago, I was sent a sack text, not even a letter.
Fresh tears poured down from my eyes and sometimes, I wished that I could just end my own life and join my mates.
Or maybe go to hell and continue with this asshole of a life.
But I pushed the thoughts away from my head quickly.
I had to forge ahead. It wasn't yet over. I knew it.
The moon goddess surely had other vibrant plans in stock for me and I could not give up yet.
I had to get a job as soon as I could so that I would be able to feed.
I got dressed that morning and I stormed off to down. Searching through every single poster for a job around. Even if it was a job of a cleaner, I was certainly going to take it.
But I found none. Even before I got to the place, the owners usually locked up just to make sure that I did not get anywhere close to them.
I was a beast now, feared by everyone. A beast that was starving.
I sighed again. Maybe this life wasn't just for me.
It was already evening and there was still no Trace of hope for me and I was tired already.
I decided that I was going to return home as soon as I could and maybe feed on the leftovers that I had left.
But I continued to walk on the streets. Something strange that I had never expected before happened.
I began to perceive an odd scent of cinnamon mixed with ginger. So pleasant that I continued to sniff the air.
I had not perceived anything like that before all my life.
"But could it be that it was my mate's scent?" I thought in my head but I pushed the thoughts away almost immediately.
It was so not possible. The moon goddess already gave me a second chance mate and what did I get? The same tragic scene.
Nobody would risk it, offering me a mate again.
But it seemed like I was wrong as my wolf confirmed my fears.
"Mate! Mate!" I could hear my wolf screaming inside of me.
I could feel my heart beating and for the first time since the death of my previous mate, I felt like a living being once again.
I could see him from behind. He was tall with handsome tan skin. I could not wait to see his face to see who it was as the bond made me completely forget my past life.
I walked towards him. At first, I thought that he did not recognize the bond until he turned around towards me and my heart almost skipped a thousand beats.
It was David, the pack's finest warrior. I continued to walk towards him.
I was somehow shy but the bond continued to pull me towards him. So badly that I could not resist it.
I got to him finally and I stared right into his eyes. Our wolves were bonding already, reaching out to each other.
"Mate!" The words sprouted out from my mouth as I reached out my hands toward him but he pushed my hands away from himself almost immediately
"Mate?" He returned to me in the form of a question.
