Haven blinked her eyes a couple of times trying to discern what had just happened. Haven's brows pinched together, Did she just yell?

Okay she must really be hearing things now.

" Did I..." She began saying but stopped abruptly.

' Did... Did I just talk !?? ' Her eyes were suddenly wide with surprise. If her hands hadn't been tied behind her, she was sure she'd have been holding her neck by now.

Haven couldn't believe it! She cleared her throat over and over again. She could hear herself.

Oh Selene!! She really could hear herself.

" Kira?" She called out quietly. Haven gasped in surprise.

' Oh Selene!! I can hear myself !!'

' Kira I can hear my self again!!' She squealed happily. All the pain she felt from the beatings the rogue gave her didn't matter anymore. She finally got her voice back.

' Your voice is back!' Kira said almost immediately. ' Now we can finally talk to our mate' She squealed happily too.

All the excitement Haven had felt a moment again dissipated into thin air.

' Mate?' Her eyes immediately flew to the man holding her. She had completely forgotten she was in the arms of this .. This ' Man'.

Haven looked at him in disgust. His hands were still hovering in the air as he looked at her, a blank expression on his face.

" What do you think you're trying to do?!" Haven could feel the rage locked up within her for all these days started to surface. Just looking at his face made Haven want to kill him over and over again.

What sort of a sick joke was Selene playing with her? How can the one person she hated turn out to be her fated mate?

No, this must be a mistake!

There must be a mistake somewhere. This is not possible. Tristan was supposed to be her mate. She was sure he was hers just like he was sure she was his. She could still remember clearly when Tristan finally clocked eighteen. He had mentioned he felt some sort of attraction towards her and he told her it was the mate pull at it's weakest.

Haven couldn't really feel it because she was still young at that time — maybe 10? She couldn't really remember.

But ever since he told her that, Tristan was always there for her. He cared for her more than anyone, and everyone in the pack knew that. Haven found it really weird whenever she saw how concerned he was about her.

It got to a point she got really pissed off and reported to the Luna. She had cried and told her she didn't like it whenever he was always around her.

Her mother had listened to all her cries and asked to " talk " to Tristan privately. Haven didn't know what they had talked about but when Tristan came out, she could have sworn she she saw him smirk and wink at her before he left.

After that, her mother just told her to ignore him and promised he won't bother her again. And he never did.

Haven did see him sometimes, but he didn't really pay much attention to her. She caught him a couple of times stealing glances at her whenever she and Mika played, but that was all.

Most times, Tristan just concentrated on his work. He was really decicated and was her father's favorite warrior.

The older she got , the more Haven started missing all the attention she was used to receiving from Tristan. Now she was the one stalking him. Haven didn't know if it was her girly hormones, but she sometimes found herself thinking of him all the time.

Tristan had grown to be one of the finest and strongest warriors of the Silver Moon Pack. He was the crush of most girls her age — including hers. Haven hated to admit it but even she started liking Tristan — no! She crushed on him.

She was always among the girls on the front line, cheering for Tristan when ever they had training . All the teens her age had a huge crush on him which only made Haven jealous. She didn't like the fact they had their eyes on him.

It was only after finally turned fifteen that Tristan started approaching her, all thanks to her father.

As an Alpha's daughter and Tue future Luna of her pack, Have was supposed to undergo training to groom her and well, her father had assigned the best warrior he could think of to teach her — Tristan.

Haven wasn't really interested in learning all the fighting stuffs but well, if it was an opportunity to be with Tristan, she will gladly take it.

Under Tristan's strict guidance, Haven turned out to be one of the strongest were in her pack. Tristan's trainings coupled with the Alpha blood running through her vein, she was simply unstoppable. But that wasn't the best of it. The training somehow managed to get them closer. Haven and Tristan became really good friends. The older she got, the more their innocent relationship blossomed.

By the time Haven was seventeenth, they were madly in love with each other and every one knew. Tristan still maintained she was his fated mate and Haven believed him. Her feelings for him would never change anyway.

Everything was fine till the unfortunate attack on her pack. She had lost her parents and most of her pack members.

And then she lost Tristan.

Haven closed her eyes feeling the pain in her heart.

Tristan was supposed to be her mate. So how can this man stand her and claim her to be his?

Haven knew he wasn't lying though. Even she could feel the heat still lingering on her skin where he had touched her , she couldn't deny it.

Could this man be her second chance mate?

Haven let out a small groan of frustration. She felt as if her head was going to explode thinking of all these.

" Are you okay?" She heard him ask worriedly. Haven blue eyes shifted towards the man before her. She could see worry all over his face.

Worry? Haven felt like laughing out. How could the man who had inflicted so much pain on her suddenly worry about her?

The one man she hated so much was now her very own mate. This was simply absurd. Haven saw him drop his hands as he contemolatee for a while.

He finally raised his hands to try touch her cheeks again.

" I said. Don't. Touch. Me." She stressed out each word, glaring hatefully at him.

" You don't have the right. So don't you think I'll allow you to" She spat , her eyes never leaving his

" I hate you, I hate you so much . Mate bond or not, that's one thing that would never change"
