After that day, he went to my house after gossiping to my brother, he told my mom we were mates. Like the goddamn balls of that man! He didn't communicate it with me, his god damn mate first!
So, dances and everything else, I had to attend with him. I was forced, if I didn't go with him, it was like I committed murder or some other god awful treason. He went to college to study law, and since I am the Alpha's mate, they all kept trying to send me to the same college. I refused, of course. Let me be me for a bit.
I knew where I wanted to go and all I have to pay for is an apartment. I just graduated from Monrovia High with a 4.0 GPA, so I got hundreds of offers. Not really that much but I have a lot of options.
Every damn weekend, I have to spend time with my mate until I turn 18 in the winter. That is when I can feel the mate bond and boy oh boy, I don't think I can handle that.
He promised to remain celibate, but I have been fearing he can't keep it in his pants. But, so far I think he has. He has been more considerate of me as well. My mother's claims that she knew we were meant to be. I guess his mother who died around six years ago predicted the same thing.
He has been way more helpful than before and he gets along with my siblings really well. My brother Milo out of all the people in the world; he is going to be a father, his mate was a new girl named Sofia. They graduated and here they are now two years later.
I never wanted to be his mate or his anything. But it happened, and I am really pissed at the moon goddess. Big deal, he is hot that's about it!
'He is brilliant, he is also top of his class' Chloe, my wolf who has been around for about a month now.' You know you want him.' She says while I pack up my things. By want, you mean yes, I want him to go! I practically yell out loud, because I am annoyed at her. She is feeding into my desire for him. I am already getting pulled in and that is without her assistance.
'You took care of him when he was sick.' Big deal, he would have done it for me. I argue back as my mom walks in with Miguel and Derek on both sides of her hips.
Yes, she had another boy, and don't get me started on how many times she has told me it is okay to get pregnant now. Why? Most parents try to prevent it, my mom takes away the birth control I never got a chance to take. It's traditional for packs to ban certain things. Being in a pack is like being in a religion. There are some lines that need to be put in and blurred as well.
Since my mate is Alpha, everyone including my mother wants me to just spread my legs and then spread them again to push out a life. Like come on I will have kids whenever I want to.
"Honey, you know how much I am going to miss you!" She pulls me into a hug and hands me an envelope from my dad.
Give this to her when she leaves to go to college.
His writing is so neat, and I run my hand across the envelope trying to remember my father.
A tear slowly falls down my face, as I give my mom a hug.
I throw the letter with the rest, I haven't opened any of them. I am too afraid to.
I pick them all out of my cedar chest and take a big breath, this is all I have left of him. I grab my stuffed animal named "cow cow," he was the first and last thing I ever got from him. He wrote a bunch of letters to my brother and I when we were very young. I remember very little since I was three when he died. It was hard on my mom, so we moved. Moved packs, I think the reason why she tries to get me to be with my mate is because hers was taken so early in their life together.
I hear a knock at the door, and I say "come in," thinking it's one of my siblings. Nope, I feel strong arms wrap around me, meaning it's my one and only mate. He smells so good, like cinnamon and spices.
Maybe, I can give this a try.
I like the way it feels in his arms, but I push him away.
"If you want to make this work, then I will try." He nods and comes closer to me.
"Your school is only a few miles away from the house, I am renting." I haven't found a place to live, so this might help.
"As long as I pay for something." I cross my arms waiting for his response.
"You know you don't have to, but fine." He says while gritting his teeth together, he is wearing a cute pout.
He picks up my stuffed animal and says, "How cute, you still have cow-cow." I can't believe he still remembers the name of my stuffed animal? He used to take it and hide it from me, and I had to kiss him on the cheek to get it back. I want to see if that still works. I walk over toward him and kiss his cheek, I move to his ear and whisper three words, I have always wanted to say to him.
"Get out now!" I point to the door because I need to pack and he knows how he can distract my thoughts.
We have never kissed before on the lips, so I am probably the only Alpha female, who refuses but wants to kiss her mate. Want is such a strong word, more like wonders.
I sigh in frustration and run out of my room to get him before he goes.
I tackle him and crash my lips on his for a second, I do it again, but then get up when I know, I want more, just by the way he holds me sends new levels of pleasure down to my core. His lips are so soft and all I want to do is kiss him until my legs go numb.
I run into my room and lean on my door knowing if I leave, I might take him back into the room. I call Ari on the phone to tell her what I just did. Just as I dial her number, there is a loud tap at the window.
It is Anthony, of course. I close the curtains, and now he is calling. I ignore it, I walk to the window after just changing into pajamas. "Why are you here?" I ask, in a very annoyed tone.
"I can't leave you here alone." He then gets into my bed and takes his shirt off, and I am mummified by his beauty. There are no words to describe him, he is mine and for once, I am glad about that. Just a glance at his body has me second-guessing everything.
I turn on the TV and take off my shirt, now I am just in my sports bra, like always. Maybe I shake my hips a little as I get over to my bed. Maybe I did do it to bug him, but I usually do sleep without shorts too.
I only have a full bed so, I can feel his breath on my neck. I turn around and use his chest as a pillow. I begin to draw invisible circles; with my pointer finger. I can feel him squirm a little trying to do something. I am almost asleep but, I can still hear everything.
"Goodnight beautiful." With that being said, I squeeze him a little tighter and say,
"Goodnight."
18 come faster, please!
