After having a long comforting bath,i wore ryans large tshirt and small cotton shorts cause it's already late, so i am just gonna go back to bed.
Exting the bathroom i find jace still on my bed lying with his stomach and his face pressed in my pillows.
He's making this hard for both of us.
I thought we agreed minutes ago to keep our distance.
"Jace" i tap him on the back gently,he looks up with tired eyes,he looks exhausted and stressed,am i being unfair to him? Am just looking out for myself ,it doesn't mean i am being mean to him.
"Jace you need to go home it's late"
"Please baby let me stay,my wolf wants to be around you" he practically begs
"You know you are making this harder right?"
He sighs looking down defeated" i know, but i can't help it, please" he whispers with glossy eyes.
Now i feel like a terrible person,am i being hard on him? am willing to give him a chance but he has to be ready cause there is no turning back after we start this,i want him to be serious about us cause the pain i felt today i can't handle it again,and it's still hurting right now,selene and lucile are still weak and i can't do that to them again.
'What should we do guys?'
'Gabriel is sad too and he's begging us to forgive them'
'And who is gabriel?' I ask lucile confused
'He's jace's wolf,he says he won't let it happen happen again,he won't let him hurt us' selene answers
Actually wolfs who are mated are able to link with their mates when we are in human form that's how they're communicating.
'So what do you suggest we do' i ask them again
'Let him stay ariel,he's really sorry i can feel it' selene says
Selene is more lenient i have observed,lucile gives a bad ass vibe,they are practically me so i love them both.
'Lucile?' I want to know her opinion too
'Well,if he hurt us am hurting someone ariel,and you won't dare hold me down. Let him stay for tonight we won't give in easily though, yeah she's with me on that one.
"Hey" i call him softly he's still looking down"you can stay but only for today okay?" I say calmly i just can't help seeing him this way.
"Thank you baby,i promise i won't disappoint you again okay?"alpha males tend to be possessive and territorial of their mates especially when they haven't marked each other, that's why he can't leave even if he wants to,his wolf won't let him cause it's his natural instinct to protect their mate.
"Okay, you are using the couch is that okay?"
"Yeah it's okay",i give him a blanket and pillows and he lays down on the couch.
"Good night babe" he mumbles and i just nod getting in the covers myself.
It was a long boring day hope tomorrow will be better.
My alarm wakes me up the next day,is it just me or today it's loudest,i throw it away smacking it on the wall,that damn thing is so annoying.
I wake up cause i can't afford to miss school even though i hate it,now that i have a mate who is an alpha i doubt he'll allow me go to college cause technically i will be luna and lun do help alphas run the pack.
That means i will have to train cause the luna is required to be able to defend her pack too if need be,am seriously doomed,i wonder how am gonna manage with that horrible training and getting all sweaty,i hate sweating don't ask me why cause i don't know it just irks me,but i have selene and lucile in case of anything right?
I haven't wore a dress for a while so i decide on a mid thigh sleeveless white dress,white converse and a small watch and am ready,jace wasn't in the room when i woke up i think he left,is he gonna continue going to school cause apparently he went there to find his mate,either ways,i don't care.
"Hey dad" i call entering the kitchen where he and my mum are already having breakfast,ryan is not here yet.
"Are you okay honey,are you sure you wanna go to school today?"he asks back
"Am okay father,hey mum" i kiss her on the cheek after dad.
"Morning honey, come i have something for you"
She leads me to the fridge and gives me a blood bag"Listen baby,you haven't fed lucile since you shifted and sometimes when they're hungry they tend to be hard to control so carry this just incase okay?"
" Okay mother" i place it in a lunch box to avoid it being seen or even leaking.
This is my life now
"Listen honey,about jace, whatever you decide we will support you okay? we won't interfere between mates" she says
"Thanks mum"
I take my breakfast and ryan is nowhere to be seen
"Oh wait your brother is picking you up" mother said after noticing my confusion
"Where did he go"
"He drove jace to the packhouse " she says and i nod,since am not really stable i have to go with ryan practically everywhere for safety not that i mind but i hate taking his time.
A honk from outside makes me know ryan is here so i wave them goodbye heading out.
Ryan is in the driver seat with Justin in the passenger then jace in the back,i thought he's done with school.
"Morning" i mumble settling in,i wonder if anna moved since she found her mate in a another pack.
Jace scent is overwhelming,it's so calming and sweet , i can't help but secretly inhale,hope he won't notice,now i understand why people go crazy about their mates.
"Hey" he mumbles
"Hi" i say back
He looks nervous like he wants to say something but he's holding himself,he looks good actually,his look is always expensive and tidy,i wonder why he chooses to fuck around cause it's disgusting sleeping with multiple women every now and then.
Yikes
"Mmh babe?" he calls hesitating,just say whatever and get it done with dude,is that how he seduces girls?i look at him blankly waiting for him to talk,when he doesn't i raise an eyebrow silently asking him what.
"I mean don't you think that's revealing?i mean the sleeveless where is your jacket" what is he even saying
"What?" i want him to elaborate
"Okay am just saying your dress is quite revealing and people might stare at you" he says running his fingures in his hair,is he nervous?
Oh boy
"Well people stare at me everyday jace" ryan and justin are trying not to laugh,what's even funny.
"So you want me to go back home and change?"
"No no i didn't mean that just maybe a jacket,can i give you mine?" he says quickly shaking his head
"What are you even saying jace"
"Sorry baby but it will make me feel better if you wore a jacket i mean it's sleeveless"
I wear sleeveless all the time hope he won't be dictating on what i should and shouldn't wear.
"What he means ariel is that he'll get jealous if other boys looks at you,and the sleeveless is kind of revealing according to him" my intelligent brother helps his friend.
Jealous my foot
"When did you get so intelligent ryan" i ask my smirking brother,i know he finds this funny.
"I have always been ariel" i roll my eyes at him and let my hair down since its long it covers my shoulders
"Is it okay now?" I face jace
"Yeah thanks,you look beautiful" he mumbles.
Yeah whatever
After that i take out my phone to listen to some music cause everyone is silent and the silence is uncomfortable with jace stealing glances at me every now and then.
Yeah if you want me work for it boy,for now you can look but no touching.
