8 Chapter 8: (1/2)

〰 Levi 〰

I glared at the man holding my mate close to him, not understanding how Nava could like a brute like himself. He was so violent and he was an a.s.sa.s.sin!

She hated a.s.sa.s.sins with everything she had inside of her!

He laid her down on the couch and sat down on the ground beside her, brus.h.i.+ng a lock of her black hair from her face. Jealousy flamed inside of me as I glanced over at the hazel haired woman who was speaking with Zavier.

I could give Nava so much better.

”Are you going to continue glaring at me or speak up, son?” The man beside Nava questions, giving me a sharp look that nearly knocked all the anger from out of me. I only narrowed my eyes, hating that he was referring to me like a little kid.

”That's my mate you're touching.” I snap angrily and walked over to where they were and threw his hand away from Nava.

He looked genuinely surprised at the news and stood up with a displeased frown on his face. I only continued to glare at him but had to s.h.i.+ft since he was a few inches taller than me.

I suddenly felt very small.

”I feel bad for you then, kid. Your 'mate' sees more in me than she does in you. Why would she want a scrawny little guy like you? Could you even carry her like the princess she was? No? I didn't think so, so why don't you let her chose who she wants.” The man shoved me carefully and turned around to go back to Nava's side.

I was getting so tired of people calling me weak and not worthy enough for her attention.

”Hey-”

”Dylan f.u.c.k off. These people want to heal her not you. You're a f.u.c.king demon. Go heal somewhere. She'll be here when you come back.” His sister, Pairs, tells the man crowding around Nava as he growled and stood up.

He's a demon?!

”Don't be that way, Dylan. Go on. I'll contact you once she's awake.” Pairs informed him as High Priestess Dawn and Faye hurried to Nava's side. Dylan merely stared at the women around Nava before sending a glare my way and leaving the living area.

I watched him leave the coven, slamming the door behind him as a sliver of his demon form came into my view. A s.h.i.+ver rippled through me at the thought of a demon with such power like himself going against a mage like myself. I knew even if I trained all my life, I'd never be able to beat him.

”Levi. We need your blood. A mate's blood will heal her quicker than anything else. She's too malnourished to heal by herself.” Dawn calls me as I quickly rush to their sides and stare down at my mate.

She was mine whether Dylan wanted it or not.

We are meant to be together.

Dawn grabbed my arm and forced it close beside Nava, working her healing magic and transferring blood to my Nava. My blood floated in the air and entered into the small incision made by Faye.

Nava's pale dark skin worried me terribly, knowing that letting her leave with those a.s.sa.s.sins was a bad idea but I ignored my wishes. She would have left even with my protests.

Nava is too proud to admit when she needs help and that is such a bad thing because she can work herself to death much like what was happening when Faye and Nava were captured.

I worry for her well being and emotional state.

She's growing more and more depressed every day because of the loss of her family eating up at her. When finding all this out... I was devastated for my mate's past and how she lost everything to the a.s.sa.s.sins.

No one should ever witness a mate dying to protect her, her child dying from starvation, and having a miscarriage all in a span of weeks of being captured by a.s.sa.s.sins. The thought of her going through all that made me shake with anger and misery.

I don't even wish for my enemies to go through such pain, no less my mate.

”Stop thinking of thoughts like that, Levi. It will not help her healing process. You have to give her happy thoughts and memories, she will grow stronger faster if you do. As much as she doesn't want it, she has the mate bond with you and that connection will bring you both together eventually.” Dawn tells me seriously as Faye nodded in agreement.

”She's right. The mate bond always wins in the end. It took Zavier and me two years to even stand in each other's presence without attacking one another. Just give her some time. She's already lost her family once, she may be afraid of that commitment again in fear of that happening once again.” They're words made sense but I knew that I just wasn't her type at all.

Though I did have a little hope that maybe I could be her type, Faye had told me about her experience with her own mate and how different they were.

One an a.s.sa.s.sin and the other an Alpha.

Both of them polar opposites but still ending up together which was so inspiring to my case.

Nava was a pure lone wolf and I surrounded myself with friends and family, but now that I knew her story. I understood her need to be alone in fears of her love ones being ripped away yet again.

I wanted her to feel wanted and loved again, but she isn't letting me.

She's letting that b.a.s.t.a.r.d dragon do that for her.

”Good thoughts.” Dawn reminds, reading my presence only annoying me but I stopped thinking about the f.u.c.ker Dylan and thought back to when I first met her.

Nava was standing proud and bare-a.s.sed in front of everyone, the throb of jealousy in my chest still resonating even now. She didn't care who was staring her down and she was oblivious to the pull towards us.

She was proud of attacking Faye so violently and I am still unsure of why she was but I was happy she was happy. The other wolves seemed either irritated or angry at her for what she did but they couldn't go against her like normal wolves within a pack.

My Nava was a special one that they needed in her pack.

I was so happy and naive to think that she'd run into my arms at the feeling of a mate bond. That her eyes would light up with happiness and she'd want to mate with me at that exact moment.
