Chapter 2
I want to get a getaway car and find a highway to escape from this hunt. People should know that not everyone need a mate, I am perfectly fine living on my own. If this hunt is a date accident in a café, or a park, or a cinema where I can touch his hand in a darken room, I'd like to, rather than be a prey waiting for the hunter and marked reluctantly. Who knows whether my mate is a drunk or a domestic violence supporter? Maybe I need to throw a wish in a well for avoiding this hunt. The occasion, the way both are worst. As I know, in some packs, they find their mates by holding a dance party. That is so attractive than ours. To be precisely, I believe there is nothing I hate than the shit hunt.
When I think, a familiar scent moves to me, I pretend nothing happened. An elbow jab in my back slightly, "Hey Ada, what's wrong? " My brother said.
Not like my parents, my brother treats me better and he always support me like my friend, I admit that he is a good brother. I and he are absolutely different like poles, I am a fractious person while he is tender, he has a poker face to hide his real emotions while I show real myself-tenacious and reckless.
I ignore his question as I don't know how to explain to him. "Are you looking forward to the hunt, brother? Why we have to wait for our mates in the cabins like a princess waiting her price to save her? In my opinion, it's.......it's stupid to hand our destiny to another people. " In pack, he is one person I can complaint with.
"Ada, I know you don't like this, but you have to, it's tradition. Our ancestor, dad, mum and I, we all need to take part in this hunt, no one can escape it."
"I wish I could! The fate is in our own hand, why we need to find our mates in this stupid way? I think this is not what moon goddess wanna see. Now is a new era, we should take a brand-new way to change it rather than obey it like everyone do. The hunt is to be forever still, but our thinking, beliefs and mind are changeable, you don't know it until you do it. "
"You are the only person who can say this. Ada, there is something we can't decide. Not all the person wanna change, I think it's wiser to be silent, isn't it?
I huff at his poker face.
"Maybe you are right, but how could you explain there are women get hurt, it is not their willing. You men only like hunting mates to meet your desire but do you really care about what she wants, like a prey? Waiting for be chosen? The very first thing you think about is whether you get mate, not the safety, the willing of female. And you know what, it is horrible that no one realize this, or they are all pretend as blinders.
I stood up and came back home without listening his reply. I know he came here for comfort me, but I lost my temper to him. It was not fair to blame him. But he is my friend, how could he didn’t get me, how could he act like nothing happened. As a result, this hunt benefits the males more than the female.
I know my family cares for me, my future, but it is not my style to sit here and hand my fate to someone I do not know and spare my life with. I know what I need to face when I come back home, speech again. Maybe I could hide myself and try to not to be found until the hunt is finish, even I could mask my scent by perfume to misleading them so they cannot catch me. Even if he finds me, I could hit him from back. I am not belonging to anyone, and I will try my best to fight this destiny, fierce love is not what I want.
