Chapter 3: Mate
VALENCIA'S POV
"Aren't you a little too happy?" My subconscious asked as I skipped a step while ascending the stairs to go to the ground floor and rush out of this school to go back to the pack house.
"Who won't be? I will hopefully find my mate today," I replied, the smile on my face freezing when I saw my sister Matilda standing at the exit of the school gates, her arms linked with Alpha Tyler.
A pang immediately shot across my heart. She was probably waiting there to laugh at my face and mock me on how she got the man I was crushing on.
It was almost her daily routine. If it wasn't that, then it was her minions who would deliberately tell me if she was making out or having s*x with Alpha Tyler.
I took a deep breath, preparing myself once again.
Just this one day. Once I find my mate and see who that amazing man is, I am sure this one-sided crush or whatever it was will be over, and I won't feel hurt anymore. Why would I feel hurt by another man when my heart would be full of thoughts of my mate only, right?
'Quit talking to yourself and get going. Aren't you getting late now?' My conscience reminded me, and I walked ahead with my head bowed.
I could feel their stares on me, and quite a few snickers too.
"Guys," Alpha Tyler warned them, and they immediately stopped.
"Baby, have you asked your father about our engagement?" Matilda's voice came next, and I felt my body subconsciously freezing in its place.
