My Mate is on Fire

Chapter 8

Pov Matthew

I remain sited nearby the lake until night

fell, the Night sky reflecting its self on the water as if this was a mirror the moon shining bright up in the sky, was my only companion seeing as Ezra has blocked our link.

I still did not want to confront my reality back home, at least not just yet.

I was so cut up in my thoughts that I did not notice someone approaching me from behind until some arms came and embrace me.

'Sabrina '

I turned around to face my sister who I have had completely forgotten.

'When did I turned to be so selfish?'

I thought to myself.

My sister must have noticed how guilty I was starting to feel because she huge me once more meanwhile caressing my hair, and whispering soothing words in my ear, the tender act almost bringing tears to my eyes. We stayed like that for a couple more seconds.

"Sabrina I am sorry I couldn't have been there when you needed me."

I finally said.

She then backed off a little to stare directly into my eyes.

"You are not to feel sorry about that, there was nothing you could have done from a hospital bed. Declan has explained everything already, so please do not blame yourself for something you didn't have control of."

I chuckled.

"What are you laughing at dear brother?"

"It's funny to think that you are acting so wisely, and mature when just a couple of days ago you were sitting on my car pouting like a three years old girl because you did not wanted to attend beta training. "

"In my defense, I have to say that training is something no werewolf likes at all."

"I like training."

"Well I always thought that you were weird but now I can just confirm it."

Sabrina said making us both laugh.

"Thanks, Sab."

"Why are you thanking me ?"

"Because you made me laugh and forget, even if it was for a brief moment the reason of why I even came to this place in the first place."

"Yeh Declan told me all about it. So... how are you handling the fact of having found your mate?"

"Well, you already know how I feel about having a mate."

"So are you saying that you are going to reject him?"

"That was what I had intended at first.... however seeing how much my decision is affecting Ezra has made me have second thoughts."

"I can only imagine what poor Ezra must be going through."

I sighed out of frustration

"Sab with all honesty I must confess that I am mortified by this whole situation. I do not want to make the wrong decision and make my people face the consequences of it."

"Matthew, you are not our father ok?"

"I know I am not, but what if..."

"That's enough. Stop with the 'buts' or the 'what ifs'. I know that what happened with Dad was a misfortune, but I also know that before that horrendous event mom and dad were the perfect Alpha and Luna, they led this pack to be one of the strongest packs in the area. The pack members were really happy to have the leaders that our parents were and that they also got really sad with their death, however, they never felt lost in the blue because you were there to take charge of everything. What I am trying to say is that, do not worry about the pack, because if something were to happen to you, Declan and I will take charge of it all so the pack members won't ever be left on their own. So now the question will be

Are you really willing to let go of the person who was destined to be with you since the beginning of times out of irritational fear ?"

"I..."

When I was about to answer Sabrina's question I was cut off by a mind link from Declan.

'Matthew, doctor Nian has just informed me that there has been a problem with your... with the guy from the room you run off I thought I will let you know.'

I froze for a second and was not able to utter a single word.

'Matthew you still there?'

Declan calls out to me making me react immediately I stood up and made my way to the pack clinic.

' I'm on my way.'

I finally answer Declan and shut off our link.

"Hey what's the matter?"

Sabrina asked as she had no clue as to why I had left so abruptly from our conversation.

"Declan just linked me."

"And...?"

"Something is wrong with my mate."

Sabrina seemed to brighten up as she notices the term that I have decided to use to acknowledge the jet unknown guy.

"I am proud of you brother, you made the right decision"

'I hope your not wrong little sister'

I thought to myself.
