His Deplorable Mate by Palos Verdes (desktop ebook reader TXT) 📖

AUTHOR'S POV:

The light of dawn seeped into the room and reflected on her angelic face. There she's sleeping peacefully, looking like a fairy. Thick eyelashes, button nose, green mesmerizing eyes, fuller lips, milky white skin, and most importantly, her beautiful and kind heart, an epitome of beauty.

"Wake up Sweetheart"! Her mother said lovingly to her only daughter while stroking her hair, waking her up.

Rubbing her bleary eyes, opening them, ava smiled at her mother. "Good Morning mom".

"Good Morning honey"! Now wakey-wakey. Today's your first day of high school. Aren't you excited? Her mother inquired. Ava nodded enthusiastically but was still sleepy. Her mother smiled, kissed her forehead, and left to make breakfast.

Ava's POV:

After mom left, I lazily looked outside the window. The weather was beautiful, the dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. 

I looked at the clock, beside my bed. "Oh shoot," I'm getting late for school. Today's my first day of high school. I'm 18 but haven't found my mate. Hopefully, today. I quickly went inside my bathroom, showered, did my morning routine, and got dressed.

Coming downstairs I heard the lovey-dovey morning moment of my parents. They've been together for years but their love is increasing day by day. It's like their morning routine, making breakfast together, teasing each other, and laughing together. I wish to have that one day with my mate. Oblivious to my presence, my father stole a kiss from my mom, and they soon started making out ( talk about teenage hormones duh). 

After quite 2 minutes, I decided to make my presence known. I tiptoed to my dad and whispered, "Good Morning dad!" I would love to be an older sister but right now I'm getting late for school.

My dad jumped back from my mom, and my mom yelped, hitting my dad with the spatula in the process.

"Geez! woman, no need to get violent". I said while rubbing his head. My mom turned to me and narrowed her eyes, I smiled sheepishly.

"Good Morning princess"! Dad said lovingly while hugging me and kissing my forehead. "Excited for the first day?" 

"Yes, dad! " I'm more nervous than hyped", I said while hugging him back seeking comfort from my dad.

"Here's your Breakfast sweetheart", mom said while serving me my favorite breakfast, waffles with lots of maple syrup, strawberries, and cream.

"So do you want me to drop you at school"? Dad asked while having his Breakfast and reading his newspaper.

No dad, I'm going with Cora and Fleur, on cue, a loud honking was heard. "There they're", bye mom bye dad", I said while hugging and kissing them on the cheeks, rushing outside. "Bye honey," they yelled after me.

"Good Morning, girls"! I said while entering the car. Woah, girl, you're looking eatable enough, Cora said while winking at me. I blushed and looked down.

"Stop bothering her," fleur said while smacking Cora. Cora pouted, I was just complimenting her.

"Forget about her, how are you? Fleur asked. "She'll be perfectly alright, who knows today she may find her mate", Cora chimed while wiggling her brows.

I hope the same, I prayed.

Cora started the car and we jammed to our favorite songs. Screaming our lungs out and dancing.

"You know people say Alpha Xavier may also find his mate today," fleur said suddenly. I don't know why but I felt a sudden pain in my chest.

While talking, we reached the school. We parked and started going inside the school premises.

As we were walking inside, suddenly it started pouring cats and dogs.

"What the hell," Cora shouted irritated. Why it's raining all of a sudden, like wasn't it lovely weather this morning, Cora shouted.

She was busy cursing the rain because it ruined her hair that she spend 4 hours on while Fleur and I were trying so hard to stop the laughter that was trying to escape like lava.

"I'm serious guys, it was so nice this morning, perfect for a date or picnic or skipping school or hiking or, she started counting on her fingers.

"Jeez! Cora! What will you take to just shut up?" You love everything except school, fleur said irritatedly.

"A date with Shawn Mendes, can you please do that for me"? Cora asked dreamily.

Argh! This girl, fleur face palmed herself. They're my best friends and mean the world to me. We were laughing, teasing, and enjoying the rain when all of a sudden, I smelt this amazing and intoxicating smell, like woody musk. My wolf started getting restless, she was restless since morning but now she's hyped.

My feet's started moving on their own accord and I started looking around, trying to find the source of the smell. It's the most intoxicating smell. I was looking around, people were running around. Some were enjoying the rain with their loved ones, kissing and dancing while others were getting inside trying to shelter themselves from the rain.

I was getting closer and closer to the smell, I knew it was my mate. I was hyped. Who's he? How's he looking? Is he my senior? Will he love me? Will he kiss me first or hug me? While all these questions were swirling in my mind, I didn't know when I came to the source of the smell but what I saw shattered me.

There stood my mate, the love of my life, loving his love of the life. Alpha Xavier Romano was kissing his longtime GF Jessica McKenzie. I was stunned, Xavier is my mate. As if sensing my presence, he looked up, our eyes meet and the world around us stopped. It was just the two of us.
