Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 305: Caught

Calvin’s POV

The door to my room pushed open, and even before the person stepped inside, her intoxicating scent hit my nose, making my wolf lose his damn mind.

"Mate!" he growled in my head—loud and possessive—pacing like a caged beast ready to pounce. His voice vibrated through me, tasting her scent like it was the finest thing in existence.

I clenched my jaw and forced myself to keep my composure, ignoring the rush of heat in my chest. I wasn’t about to let my emotions take over.

Nora stepped in quietly, balancing a tray of juice I had requested earlier. Her eyes flicked to mine for the briefest second, and my wolf practically roared again, demanding I claim her.

"Mine." His voice was raw, insistent. "Touch her. Take her."

I inhaled deeply, fighting the urge to let my instincts win. "Thanks," I muttered, my tone polite. My voice came out rough, like gravel, betraying the strain I was under.

She gave me a polite smile, setting the tray down on the table beside me. But every movement she made—every shift of her body—only drove my wolf wilder.

I had to grip the armrest of my chair to stop myself from reaching out.

I cleared my throat, forcing my voice to stay even. "You can leave now," I said, not trusting myself to look at her for too long.

But she didn’t move. Instead, she crossed her arms, her chin tilting slightly as she studied me. "Since you don’t want me as your mate," she said calmly, "why don’t we just reject each other quietly? No one has to know."

My frown deepened.

Yes... I had told her I didn’t want a mate. And it was true—I don’t believe in the mate bond. She was my second chance mate, but I’d already convinced myself that mates only brought weakness, distraction, and pain.

Still... the casual way she said it, like I meant nothing... that hurt more than I expected.

"Why are you so desperate for it?" I asked, my voice low.
