HIS SECOND MATE

Make you mine

Victoria's POV

I ran out of the mansion and walked towards the direction my feet took me. It was pretty late and dark, but I didn't care, and kept walking while I wiped off tears from my cheek until I stood in front of an entrance door.

With shaking hand, I knocked on the door for a while before I heard footsteps in the house. The door came wide opened and Clinton's mom stood by the door.

''Hey Victoria, you are here, please come in.'' She welcomed me with a warm smile. ''Good day ma'am, is Clinton at home.'' I asked while stepping in. ''Yeah, he is at the backyard. You should go see him.''

''Thanks.'' I nodded my head to her words before taking the back door that leads to the backyard.

I walked out of the house and went to the backyard only to see Clinton lying on the grass with his hands folded on his neck while in deep thoughts that he did not notice my presence.

''Clinton.'' I called out. Quickly, he snapped out of his thoughts and looked in my direction with a confused look.

''Vicky?'' He asked with a confused look and stood up from the grass. ''What are you doing here, you should be in bed resting.'' He grumbled and took hold of my hands, while he stared around, making sure I was okay.

''Hey…'' He did not let me finish before he cut in, ''Have you been crying?'' He asked as he stared directly into my eyes,

I wanted to deny it and said no, but I was lost for words. ''Did he do anything to you?'' He asked angrily, but I shook my head and flashed him a weak smile.

''Come here.'' He groaned angrily and led me to the spot where he was.

We both sat on the grass while I looked up at the sky and stared at the half-moon without saying a word.

''Are you hungry?'' He asked, like he was reading through my mind. ''I'm literally starving.''we both chuckled softly and Clinton stood on his feet.

''Mom made these delicious pancakes, I'll go get some for you.'' ''Thanks.''

''You are welcome.'' He smiled and ruffled my hair, ''Stop!.'' We both laughed loudly before he left the backyard.

Being with Clinton for a moment made me forget all my problems, and now he is gone, it felt like I was enveloped in them again.

''Here, it's still hot and tasty.'' He sat on the grass beside me and handed a plate of pancakes, while he kept a glass and a bottle of water on the grass. ''What type of juice do you take.'' He asked while trying to get on his feet, but I stopped him by holding his arm.

''Water is just fine.''

''Alright.'' He sat back and gave me a big smile

''Go ahead, eat, before it'll get cold.'' Nodding my head at his words, I picked up a pancake and took a bite of it and chewed slowly.

''Taste good right.''

''Yeah, your mom is good at this.'' I replied with mouthfuls of pancakes in my mouth.

''Thanks, she will be glad to hear that from you.'' We both chuckled at his words while I continued eating.

''Where is Clara?'' I asked.

''Oh, she is sleeping over at her mate's place.''.

''Oh nice.'' I whispered and continued eating.

''Well, I'm glad she isn't here to disturb you.'' We both laughed at his words while I continued eating in silence.

''So Alpha Derick is your mate.'' The moment he said those words, I choked with the pancakes in my mouth. ''Easy, take it easy.'' Clinton rushed and poured some water in the glass for me.

''Thanks.'' I took the water from him and drank everything in the cup before Clinton took it from me. ''Are you okay.'' He asked while massaging my back

''Yeah, I'm sorry for that.'' I chuckled nervously and kept the empty plate of pancake on the floor.

We both sat in silence until Clinton spoke up. ''Is that why he accused you of using charms on him?'' He asked.

''Maybe.'' I took a deep breath and continued, ''Perhaps someone is just playing tricks with him and getting me involved.'' I murmured tiredly and slowly placed my head on his right shoulder.

We were both silent, staring at the sky, before Clinton spoke up. ''Be my mate.''

''You must be joking.'' I scoffed and raised my head from his shoulder.

''I'm not, I mean it Vicky, every day and night I pray to the moon goddess that I will wake up one day and realize you are my mate.'' He muttered those words seriously to me, with no sign of joke in him.

Sighing softly, I took a sharp breath of pain and spoke up.

''I also wish for that. You are the exact way I picture my mate to be, but what can we do? The moon goddess doesn't find us fit to be with each other.'' I murmured sadly.

Clinton placed his hand on my hair and gently patted it with love and care, like a father patting his daughter to sleep. ''We don't have to let the moon goddess decide our future, we can do it ourselves.'' He suggested.

''No Clinton.'' I bluntly refused. ''You are just twenty-one, your mate is somewhere, either she isn't eighteen yet or she might be in another pack, then what happens when you finally meet her, what will become of us?'' I shook my head in disapproval.

Clinton took a deep breath and went into deep thinking. I stared at him and realized whatever he was thinking about was really bothering him.

''Hey.'' I called out to him and gently ran my fingers through his hair, but he sighed softly and took in a deep breath.

''All my life I thought I was lucky and favored by the moon goddess, I have a remarkable and strong wolf, amazing gifts and abilities and yet, the one thing I cherished the most isn't mine.'' He grumbled in pain and rubbed his two hands on his face.

Seeing him this way broke my heart into pieces. I've known Clinton to be a very rigid and strong person. Never in my life would I think of seeing him this weak and helpless.

''Hey.'' I called out to him and ran my fingers through his hair. ''You have me, Clinton, you will always have me.'' He did not let those words leave my mouth before he pulled me to himself and sealed our lips together.
