《The Rejected Mate》23 - Stalker
Advertisement
Few months have passed. Winter vacation passed by , we celebrated Christmas like any human does , I decorated a big Christmas tree with the kids , we made cookies for Santa , I let them hang socks on the tree and make them believe that Santa put candies in there. We watched fireworks at the bayside during newyear. We played with firecrackers and blow some horns. My kids went back to class , and ended it with awards , I as the representative to pin their ribbons and hang their medals. Few months more and I enrolled my kids as a first grader , Anna attending the class she is supposed to. I was working every morning and going home every night to them. We does homework together , I make them milk and tucked them to sleep.
I've become a multi-tasking mom , a parent and a businesswoman. Anna is now calling me mommy too. I was just surprised one day when she asked me if she can , and I gladly agreed. Anna is such a nice and innocent kid. She grew closer with her brothers too , Marcus became so protective of her instead of pushing her away and Marc is the ever sweet one. I could not be happier. I was gifted with sweet and responsible kids despite of lacking on my mate-side. Despite of everything , my mind was still flying towards Archer every once in a while. How do he do? Is he improving? Did he realized the purpose of why I left? Or is he not learning at all? We never heard a news about him since the day we left , he never dare to show himself to us. Maybe he is reflecting.. Or maybe he back down. I don't know. All I am aware of , is that I am happy with my kids. Now with the three of them.
I smiled as I set my photo with the three kids on a picture frame. I put it on my desk. It was taken when we were at a Gala. I often bring them in every business gatherings too. Everyone adores them and praises them. I gaze towards the door of my office as someone went in. It is Belle entering my office , what caught my attention is a bouquet of flower on her hand.
"Ma'am someone delivered this for you"-she said smiling. Those are pink roses.
"Are you sure it is for me? And not yours?"-I asked. She often got flowers from her suitor and I am surprised that she is delivering one for me.
"Yes I'm sure ma'am"-she said and I raise my brow. Who would give me flowers? I dig my mind for whoever would give it to me , but I couldn't think of a person ever showed some interest to give me such sweet thing.
"What is the name of the sender?"-I asked
"I failed to ask the courier ma'am.."-she said apologetically
"It's okay.."-I said and took it from her. I stared at the beautiful bundle of flowers , whoever gave it..thanks then. I located an empty vase to put the flowers in it. The next few hours were the same. I was doing all my works , until five o'clock and I went home then.
As soon as I parked my car outside the house I saw the front door open and the kids run outside to fetch me.
"Did you do good today?"-I asked as I leaned down for them to kiss me one by one.
"Yes!"-they said in chorus
"I have a goodies for you"-I said and bring out a box of doughnut.

"Yeeey!!"-they cheered and Marc is the one to take it from me before running inside , Anna following him. While Marcus helped me with my bag.
"How's school young man?"-I asked
"Our teacher assigned me as the president of our class"-he said
"Wow , you must be a good leader then?"-I said
"Of course"-he said proudly. I ruffled his hair.
"Be a responsible leader and take care of your brother and sister very well , okay?"-I said
"Okay"-he said
"Now give me my things and go eat with them , they'll eat all of the doughnuts if you won't"-I said and he gave me my bag and run towards his siblings while I brought my things on my room.
∆°∆°∆°∆°
It was nearly nine in the evening when I started to tuck my kids to bed. We've been doing their homeworks together in their room after dinner.
"Good night kids"-I said kissing each of them on their foreheads
"I love you mommy"-Marc said
"Love you mom"-Marcus seconded
"Wove you mommy~"-Anna added and I smiled at them
"I love you guys , sleep tight okay?"-I said going towards their window to close it. But I stopped midway when I noticed some shadow that immediately disappeared outside. My brows were pulled together as I watched intently and scanned the area some more. My house were a little distant from the others and pinetrees are lining outside on each side of the road and the areas were quite dark. Only the light from each posts of my gates were the source of light outside , it doesn't help a lot but I am pretty sure there is a presence of a shadow of someone in there. Goosebumps creep in me so I immediately closed the curtains and make sure the windows were secure. Before I opened the lampshade on my kids' room and turned off the light. Whoever that person I saw outside , I would make sure it wouldn't be a threat of our safety.
∆°∆°∆°∆°
My brows furrowed once again when Belle brought another bouquet of flower the next day.
"The courier said he wasn't informed of the sender's name ma'am , but this flowers were arranged by a different person than last time , this time it was a young woman and the last time was a man in his 50's , they might be just ordered to do the stuff"-Belle said
"Well..that's quite questioning , who would send someone a gift without making themselves known?"-I said looking at the same bouquet of flower. I should feel creep out , but let's be honest I was never creep out or afraid of anything. Not even ghosts , not even criminals. I'm more of..flattered , I've never actually received flowers before.
"Well , it could be a secret admirer ma'am"-Belle said
"Secret admirer? Who would like a single woman with three children?"-I asked raising my brow.
"There's a lot to admire about you ma'am"-she said smiling and I shook my head. My fortune maybe , I am not really a socializer towards different sex , if so , it's purely business. Who would be interested in such kind if woman? And so far there's no one who showed interest either , especially when I started bringing my kids in entrepreneurial events I've been.
"I think you should find another vase to put this on..it'll be a waste if we threw the others , those are still not withered"-I said lending her the flowers
"Okay ma'am"-she immediately obliged and took the flowers outside but I noticed a piece of paper slipping away from it. I went out of my desk and check what it is and found a card on the floor.

' Have a good day = ) ' -that's what was handwritten in there. No initial , nothing. I tried to smell the paper but I've smelled nothing but the fragrance of the flower. That is kinda cute though , now I'm getting more and more curious of who this person is.
∆°∆°∆°∆°
I still haven't solved the mystery of the bouquet of flower , whoever sent it. In the next days I've received some more. Not just flowers this time , but there's a time that I was in the coffeeshop and suddenly the server gave me the coffee I wanted without me asking for it , saying someone gave it to me. It's harmless. There are also gifts such as chocolates , a teddy bear , a wristwatch , that surprisingly I liked. In every gifts there are little notes of pleasantries and greetings. I'm also getting more and more suspicious about the stalker that I was already certain I have one. I've always felt presence everywhere , but surprisingly I couldn't smell anything nearby. Whoever it is could conceal his scent very well and I'm already sure it isn't a human. Humans were unaware of the traces of their scents so there's no way they could conceal it. So all I have to do now is catch the stalker and put a face on this mystery. I already have a hint about this , but I needed to catch them red handed.
Today is Friday and I am coming home late since I'll be off from work for the whole weekend. I was nearby the house already and I could already see it in the horizon when I saw a figure just outside leaning on the tree few meters away , staring directly inside. I focused my gaze towards the figure and drive fast into it. As soon as he noticed my appearance , he started to sprint away again but I am too fast this time , I immediately went out of the car and run towards the pinetrees where he went off. He is fast but I could still catch up. He's not using his full speed.
"Wait up!"-I shouted but he continue to run , I grunt and took off my high heels , throwing it away , but then I realized what I should do. I hit the other one straight on his head. I got a bull's eye and I even flinched myself. He stopped to rub his head and whine looking back at me.
"Why are you getting violent all of the sudden?!"-he whined.
"Cobalt."-I said
"Urgh..he would think I was incompetent now that you caught me.."-he murmured
"Who is 'he?' "-I said crossing my arms although I already know who it is. 'He' is the only one Cobalt and the other generals would follow anyways , It is if Cobalt had already shift into another pack.
"You know who it is already"-he said
"Is he also the one liable for all of this? The flowers? The gifts?"-I asked
"Well..yeah"-he said
"Why won't he show himself then?"-I asked
"He has something important to finish first"-he said and I frown. What's more important than fixing his family?
"Don't worry he'll show himself anytime soon"-he said before grinning at me and getting on a motorcycle that was parked behind a tree.
"See you around"-he said giving me a salute. I just nod at him and watch him leave. I sighed and turn around to went back to my house.
The kids were already sleeping when I arrived. I kissed each of them on the heads lightly to prevent them from waking up before I started to go out and went to my room. I was already ready to bed when someone went in. I smiled to see Marcus.
"How's your day little man?"-I asked motioning him to come to me and he did. He sat on the bed beside me
"Its fine"-he said
"We have a sports feast two days from now , Marc is actually joining he is playing track and field"-he said
"Wow. I never heard of that! Is he good on running?"-I asked
"Yes , he's really good"-he said. I felt glad hearing that my kids are establishing better in their school.
"And here"-he said handing me a piece of paper with a letter in it.
"We have a family day at school , next week , the parents are needed there"-he said. I read the paper informing the parents about the family day. There are spaces for the both parents or at least guardians to sign if only who are available to go with the children on the family day , I took my pen and sign my side.
"You can ask nanny Gabriela to sign the other one"-I said and he nod
"Can I sleep here tonight?"-he asked
"Of course , come here baby , I never cuddled my baby for so long already"-I said taking him in my arms and falling into the bed
"Even though you are already a big brother for Marc and Anna , still you are my baby"-I said hugging him , I saw a little smile on his face. I sighed and stroke his tender skin. I have such a handsome son , I can picture out a lot of women swooning over him in the future. Although I know that only one person can crack this little rock. Marcus isn't the showy type , he also never smile so often , he is an epitome of a real man if he grow up. I wonder who that woman would be. She will be so lucky.
"What are you thinking mom?"-he asked holding my face with his small hand.
"I'm thinking about you when you grow big. Then you will find a woman , your mate to be exact"-I said
"Well , I want a nice girl , simple , quiet and sweet girl"-he said and my lips formed an 'o' . In a young age he already has an ideal , isn't it adorable? But my baby's ideal is boring. I'm afraid he'll like someone like Allisa in the future.. I cringe in the thought , I could see Archer from him in that case.
"But..you can't really choose who you'll end up , us werewolves have our destined mate"-I said
"Like you and dad?"-he asked and I nod
"Yes , promise me if you find your mate , don't ever reject her , or hurt her"-I said
"How does it feels when you are rejected by your mate?"-he asked again and I looked back to the past.
"When you were rejected..it's horrible , you will feel like , soulless , some lost their sanity..some couldn't barely hold it and they'll become suicidal..they die , your heart was torn apart , you will feel it"-I said and I felt him hug me tight
"I love you mommy"-he said
"I know..I love you too baby"-I said
"I don't want to reject my mate , I dont want to hurt a girl"-he said
"Do that baby , always remember that , girls , especially mates are treasures , they are meant to be taken care and be loved"-I said
"Yes mommy"-he said. I smiled and closed my eyes. My son will grow as a better man.
