Abijahs POV
Shawn picks me up Sunday morning and we arrive at the Packhouse. I open the door to my new room and it's filled with more gifts, flowers and balloons from him! My king size bed is in here along with the linen sets also! I was so happy that I ran squealing and gave him a hug and kiss! He has that humongous grin on his face again and he's so damn fine when he's genuinely happy. He comes and puts the rest of my belongings inside from the hospital. My room is cozy, there's a walk-in closet, a large window with lots of natural light pouring in over the bed, a desk with my laptop on it.
A dresser with my TV and game consoles and more video games on it. Curtsey of Shawn I'm sure. I see he went to my aunt's place, I'll have to call my family soon. A good sized shared bathroom and I see that my cabinets are filled with Victoria Secrets and Bed, Bath & Beyond products. After we put my room in order we go to eat breakfast in the mess hall. While at breakfast me and Toya decide to continue our spa days, we leave after we're finish eating. Shawn had called the spa and paid for me to have a weekly full service session for a whole year! And I found thousands of dollars in my wallet again, He's so sweet!
Some time later at the spa Toya asks me, "Abie, why didn't you tell me about how Zavier was making you feel?" She says looking sad, "The truth is that I had no idea what I was feeling until you explained it to me. I didn't think it was that serious and it wasn't like I had time to really dwell on it with how crazy Shawn was being. And I didn't think it was appropriate that Zavier was making me feel like that, I didn't know how to tell you!" I say earnestly sighing, dropping my head onto the massage table. She sighs as well,
"I understand now, girl. It's just that what you and him are feeling is exactly what Fated Mates feel towards each other." "Fated Mates?" I ask, "Yes, all werewolves have a perfect Mate, chosen for them by the Moon Goddess. And once you find your Mate, you'll know because your wolf or theirs will let you know. They'll claim that you are theirs by saying, 'Mine & Mate!' It's never a mistake! And we mate for life, we will be Mates forever! We are immortal, we don't die of natural causes but can be killed." She explains, Wow.. but hold on, "Did you say, that he's feeling this also? But isn't he too young? I thought you said they had to be 16!?" I say slightly panicked she nods,
"Yes, but he told us that he has felt the sparks with you since y'all met at the Ball. He is experiencing everything that you are supposed to from your Mate via the Mate-bond. And that's because he's an Alpha, everything is amplified and intensified. Your smell, your touch, your appearance, they can even read your thoughts and feel your feelings, help you heal, calm you down, everything about you pulls your Mate to you and you to them. No one else in the world matters to you more than your Mate! I honestly feel that you are my Son's Mate and that he may be an early shifter but how early I'm not sure." "So what does that even mean for me?" I ask her, "It'll mean that you and my Son will be Mates forever. You will be his Luna, his queen, Abie!"
Oh man this is too much to deal with right now. Just when I decided to give Shawn a chance now this? "But I've already made up my mind to give Shawn another chance. I want to be with him now." I'm so conflicted about all this! "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" She looks shocked but it's the truth, I shake my head, "No I'm serious, I know that he was really.. rough with me. But he apologized and I forgave him. I really see him trying to be a better person. So I'm going to stay with him." I say determinedly. She looks at me like I've lost my entire mind but doesn't speak on it any further. "What am I gonna tell my work crew?" I whisper out loud. "The truth, Abie honestly is the best policy."
While in the limo after we left the spa I called my aunt, "Hey auntie.. how are you?"
"OMG ABIE!? How are you it's been forever! Are you OK?" I was great to hear her voice again. I sighed satisfied grinning,
"Yes, auntie I'm good now. How are my cousins? Have I gotten any mail?"
"Gurl they good, they miss you, we all miss you." I hear her sadness,
"I'll try to come visit soon I promise k." I really do miss my family and so much has happened since I've moved up here. Things I never imagined, never dreamed, never was taught, and never prepared for.
"Shawn came by yesterday and I gave him your mail and he took your bed and several other items from your room. He says that you have a room there at the Packhouse?" She asks, "Yes the Alpha gave me a room here, because it's.. closer to work." I say not really sure what to tell her about Shawn and me yet. "Ok niecey poo, I love you and stay strong okay!" That makes me feel better, she was never one to pry but my Mother and Father they are a whole different story and I call them next!
"Hello.. Mom? It's me.." I heard her gasp, "Abijah?" I hear some shuffling then, "Abijah Marie Nichols it's been Weeks since you've called us! Do I need to come up there and give you a piece of my mind?" My Father yells sternly I know he's upset that I haven't contacted them in awhile but I didn't have access to my phone. "Dad, I'm so sorry.. I didn't have access to my phone-" "What the hell do you mean, 'You didn't have access to your damn phone?' Who did then?" I can't lie to my dad he sees right through me! So I tell him the truth.
"You know that I work at a Supernatural Academy right Dad?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok well the second in command, the Beta here asked me out and we've been in a relationship for a few weeks."
"Yeah, I knew that already your Mom told me and we have the pictures, where are you getting at Abie?" I sigh deeply, "Well last week Beta Shawn overreacted and attacked me and I've been in the hospital recovering fr-"
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" My Dad bellows in the phone so loud me and Toya covered our ears up! Holy Crap!
"I'm coming up there! And I'm gonna fucking Kill that Bastard! He hurt my little girl!? Ughhhh!" He was outraged, shit I gotta calm him down.
"Dad, I'm okay now. All the wounds are healed and I'm great, okay? Please don't come up here causing trouble."
It took awhile to finally calm him down and get him off the phone.
We arrive at the Packhouse and Zavier wants me to play video games with him. So I do and he really did get better! And me and Nae have a tea party it was so fun, I've never had a tea party before! She even called me Mom! Whoa, major upgrade from 'Stupid, weak human!' I'll take it, but a part of me wonders if she learned that at school or from her father? We all ate dinner together in the mess hall and Shawn came to my room later that night and stayed the night, it was a happy surprise. His tongue makes me feel like I'm the best food in the world!
Alpha DeAndre POV
I went to speak with my parents Sunday afternoon about what was going on with Abijah and my Son. And in so many words the only conclusion that they came up with was if Zavier and Abijah were Mates. Then it could be that his wolf, Tank, is sensing that his future Mate is in distress and in need of him. So he could be an early shifter even before he was of age, to be able to protect her from any danger.
Toya had told me yesterday about what happened between Zavier and Abijah when he healed her and when he touched her! I went to talk to my Son and ask him more questions about Abijah, he's always happy to talk about her! He says that him and Tank talk and think about her all the time. That they had always liked her, that he can smell her everywhere and even hear her from afar! That just seeing her makes him extremely happy!
Damn it could be possible that they are Fated Mates! I sense some trouble ahead, because Toya just informed me that Abijah Wants to be with Shawn! But if she's my Son's Mate then that's gonna leave Shawn ass out of another Mate. And I'm not sure he'll be able to handle that. But I need to have a back up plan for when or if shit hits the fan!
