Chapter 7
The warriors continue that some females will be sent home because the females are more than males this year. We could get a list of nNathan that posted in front of the door. I see the light in this underground. I remember my father’s story, even if you are reluctant, the mate pull is so strong that you cannot refuse your mate, unless you have enough power and strength. And people should know that the male you reject is the other half of your soul. You lost your soulmate once and you will never get content with a sense that you lost your love of your life after your rest life. I do not know whether I can control this mate pull, so this is the reason why I want to escape from here as soon as possible.
Now I see the chance, may be this it is. I rush in front of the list and whispering my name is there, I checked it again and again but just did it in vain. Hannah takes my hand and leads me to a corner, we take a seat. We both want to say something but just hearing the wind, obviously, the list of the name, ours are not on it. Hannah is sitting by my side, we are staying here but feel like taking a closer step to hell. If mine won’t in the list, why let me know this news. The fact that the precent is getting higher makes me numb like I couldn’t breathe. They are all hopeless romantic holding thoughts that their mates will cherish them and comfort them and protect them and take their hands to begin forever. Wrong! You have to accept a fact that you will be tied with someone and do the cleaning, do the cooking. chores or taking care of kids. That is not what I want.
When some girls go out of the door, I wish I could be one of them. Many of them are crying and the looks on their face are sad and unbelievable. I know if I say what I wanna say, they must think I am a fake person. But I really wish they could realize that they are fortune to have mates because they are willing to take part in this hunt. I scan the rest of these girls who are so happy or appreciate to be here. And I notice Caroline is indeed still present. She looks extremely exciting and is talking how much she wants to meet Alpha King. And she’d spend forever to wait for a miracle that she could meet him as her mate. She must be crazy, I’d rather to take more adventures in the forest than long for a miracle for someone won’t appear in reality.
As I listen to their conversation and bear the noises from outside and inside the bunker, I turn my attention to my new friend Hannah who getting continuously nervous. I see she always bites her nails I have no idea what is wrong with her, maybe she was fear. I place my hand on her knee and try to comfort her and disperse her attention from the current situation.
"Hey, we will be alright, don’t worry."
She just shakes her head and pretend nothing happened. But I know she is kidding. "What’s wrong with you? If you see me as your friend, you may open your heart with me Hannah. "
She looks back at me, "What if my mate is not a nice person? What should I do if he thinks I am not pretty, not strong? Or even he doesn’t like m-"
I cut her off before she finishes her words because I know the more she says, the more nervous she will be. This is what I thought just right, and the best way to save her from this situation is stop her. "Dear, listen to me. The very first, I believe the Moon Goddess would never match someone who is bad or cranky with you because she knows you’re a good girl right? You are beautiful and kind, God knows you deserve a better male. Secondly, in my eyes, you are a person who is charming and confident, I love the way you are, no one thinks you are weak, remember that you are not the opinion of somebody who does not know you or care about you. If you think you are not perfect, it doesn’t mean you should change you, only means you should change your point of view. And your soulmate will not reject you, the second he sees you and smells your scent, he will put you as No one in his life. So, keep these thoughts out of your head. Do not let these shits increase the stress levels and control your heart. She nods slowly and give me a hug, I know she is fine.
"If he treats you badly, I'll let him regret what he did and kill him immediately." Hannah laughs as a child.
Seeing her reaction, I am relaxing and what I say is not only for her, but also for myself. I need to keep myself calm and make my mind wandering off to my own negative thoughts. No one could keep themselves out of it. We talk something interesting to calm down and relax. We both make it a promise to find each other before the festival is done.
But I always know that the moment I will only relax is the moment when all of this drama is over.
