Chapter 4

　　~Sebastian~

　　I followed the scent, passing through the narrow hallway. I didn't care if I was being led to hell or the moon goddess, I kept on walking.

　　"Mate..."That was the only word that was ringing in my head. I walked out of the massive building and headed to the small flower garden where the scent led me and there she was.

　　Her back was facing me and I couldn't tell what her face looked like. She was dressed in a white, backless satin dress which hugged her so tightly.

　　The scent was even more strong with each step I took towards her. Knight growled in my head and my canines elongated, ready to sink into her flesh and claim her.

　　"Mate" I called, standing a few meters from her and she turned around to face me. She had brown hair and blue eyes just like mine.

　　The pale light from the moon shone on her face and she looked so beautiful.

　　"Mate. "She called in a low voice and I groaned. Her voice was so sweet and soothing. I walked to her and wrapped my arms around her so tightly.

　　She was so small in my arms and she hugged me back, tightly. Her touch was magical that it set every part of my body on fire. My eyes flashed and I closed them, my teeth itched to sink into her flesh.

　　"No, this is wrong. "I tried to say it under my breath. However, I didn't let go. It was easier said than done.

　　"This is right. You are mine and I'm yours. The moon goddess destined us to be together. I'm rightfully yours and you're rightfully mine. We were meant to be. "She said in a lovely voice and I groaned in return.

　　I grazed her neck with my canines and sacked on her neck, fighting the urge to sink my elongated canines into her flesh. She moaned and her soft moans were like melodious songs in my ear. I wanted her to moan more, to moan for me.

　　Why did it feel so good when I was doing something wrong?.

　　I hoisted her and she wrapped her legs around my waist tightly. I touched her bare back and she moaned, kissing me on the neck.

　　She ran her fingers in my hair, sending my spirits soaring in the sky. As though she was not getting enough of me, she slid her hands under my shirt and touched my bare chest, running her hand on my abs and upward my chest and I groaned. Knight fought for release, he wanted to be released so that he could meet his mate.

　　His destined mate. His Gift from the moon goddess.

　　"Alpha, Where are you?" I heard Matteo's voice in my head.

　　"Luna has left the ceremony and I don't know where she went. She was already gone when I I went to look for her outside. The car is in the parking lot, meaning she left on foot. "My mind jolted back to the present when I heard those words and fear crept into my heart.

　　That's when reality hit me harder. I let Alexas go and she looked at me in confusion, her eyes were misty. I wanted to touch her face and kiss tears away but I stepped back, away from her.

　　"Please don't reject me. "She pleaded, closing her eyes and tears ran down her cheeks. I could feel the pain and fear in her voice because of the mate bond.

　　I wanted to reject her like I had told Hazel so many times but I couldn't bring myself to utter the words. My tongue became heavy and the words were stuck in my throat. I turned around and walked away without saying anything to Alexas.

　　I stopped in my tracks and closed my eyes when Alexas wrapped her slender hands around my waist tightly from behind.

　　"Please don't leave me. How am I supposed to forget about you after sharing such a steamy moment?. Why are you doing this to me? .Are you going to leave just like that?. "She asked, her voice almost a whisper, tears flowing down her cheeks.

　　Knight growled in my head. Fighting for release so that he could go to comfort his mate.

　　"Are you going to leave without telling me anything? Without telling me whether we'll ever see each other again or not? "Her hands tightened, making it hard for me to walk.

　　"Please… don't do this to. Please…don't leave me. "She cried and Knight growled in my head. Closing my eyes and inhaling deeply, I pulled her hands from my body and turned around to look at her.

　　"I already have a wife and I have already claimed her. She's my Luna and I love her so much. I chose her and we have been married for six years now. There is no chance for us. "I told her and tears flowed from her eyes like a waterfall. I saw hope leave her eyes and I couldn't help but feel bad and guilty.

　　"What? I have been waiting for my mate my whole life. I have been waiting for you…Why didn't you wait for me?."

　　She asked and I could feel torture and betrayal in her voice. She felt like I had betrayed her.

　　However, I didn't say anything because I didn't know what to say. I turned around and walked away without looking back, knight howled in my head. However, I didn't give him the opportunity to overpower me.

　　I couldn't tell how many hours I had spent in the shower. I stood up and removed the clothes, then began to wash away Alexa's scent.

　　Her scent was the reason why I'm going through this pain. It's her scent that led me to her. I despised myself for falling into her trap. Her sickening sweet scent lured me into a world of misery and I don't know how to get out of it.

　　I'm stuck. All I can see is darkness. All the bright days are gone and now I'm drowning in regrets and pain. I wish I could listen to Hazel when she asked me to ignore the invitation so that we could celebrate our sixth marriage anniversary.

　　The day that was supposed to be joyous was now filled with agony. I turned off the shower and walked out of the bathroom.

　　I raised my head to check on the digital wall clock. It was past midnight, I couldn't believe that I had spent three hours in the shower. Cursing and blaming myself.

　　My heart twisted inside my chest when I turned to look at the bed and laid my eyes on Hazel. She was hugging the pillow so tightly as though it was someone. I felt jealousy.

　　She looked sad even though she was sleeping. Dry tears were on her cheeks, it was evident that she had cried herself to sleep.

　　I walked to the bed and looked at her, and tears flowed from my eyes. I couldn't recall when was the last time I saw her  this vulnerable.

　　I vowed to make her happy the day of our wedding. I swore to protect and take good care of her heart. I bowed my head in shame when the words echoed in my head.

　　"It's all my fault. "I blamed myself for the millionth time. I knelt on the cold concrete floor and stretched my hand to touch her face.

　　However, I couldn't find the courage to feel her angelic face. I didn't deserve it. I'm the reason why she's sad and broken.

　　I fisted my hand in the air and pulled it back.

　　"I'm so sorry Hazel..."I said in a low voice and bowed my head in shame.
