Mate worth loving

Chapter 9: The Truth

*Jason Pov

    It's been a day since i fully moved into Lila's apartment and things have been pretty perfect, a bit weird but perfect. She is still cautious around me but she is opening up. I wish i could say the same for my parents. They are pretty upset that i moved in with Lila, i'm pretty surprised on how sharp Lila was on the topic. She is sharp on a lot of things and doesn't put up with my s**t. She is keeping me in check and i think that is something i need. Everyone else is to afraid to get on my bad side so they just agree with everything i say. But not Lila, she may not see it yet but she will make an excellent Luna. I just hope i can convince everyone else of that.

    "Jason are you in there?"

"Yea i was just changing. Be out in a second."

    I walked into the living room and found Lila sitting on the floor with a book in her lap. She seem toe enjoy studying, it's all she does in her spare time. I never see her on her phone or watching tv. And it doesn't seem like she has any friends. She really has been living a lonely life and i just hope that i can make it a happier one.     

    "What do you want for dinner? If you want i can make something. Do you like steak?"

"Of course i love steak. But you should be resting in bed. The doctor said you should be taking it easy and on bed rest until you are fully healed."

    "Jason i am fine. Trust me i have been through worse than this. I hate doing nothing, it makes me feel stir crazy."

Just hearing her say she has been hurt worse than she is now makes me want to hurt someone. Hell anyone. I have a hard time controlling my emotions when i am with her. She brings out the best and the worse in me. 

"Jason? Are you alright?"

    "Yea i am fine, I was just thinking about what you said. Who hurt you?"

"Jason i want to talk about it. But i don't think i am ready."

    "And i don't want to push Lila. But i don't know anything about you or your family. It might hep us locate your aunt before anything happens to her."

    "And what do you mean by that? Are you going to find her so you can kill her?"

"What of course not. All i meant was we don't know where she is or who she is with. Those men that was in that crack house when we found you were bad men Lila. If she is still with those same men they might kill her or worse. They might come to find you and get revenge. And if anyone i mean anyone touches another hair on your head then yea maybe i will kill them."

    I can fill my blood beginning to boil, my face is going red. I'm yelling. Not at Lila but just at the possible situation that she might find herself in because of her supposed aunt that for some f*****g reason she is still trying to protect her.

    "I don't want that Jason."

"Yea i don't want that either. Glad we are on the same page."

    "No that is not what i meant. I don't want you killing anyone for me or getting revenge for me. That will do nothing. That will solve nothing! All it will do is make you a murder. Is that what you are Jason? A murder? Because if you are then this thing we have is over. I will not be with someone that thinks they are above everything and everyone else and that you can kill whoever and whenever you want!"

"That's not what i meant. I meant if i had to protect you i would with my life. And if that ended up with that persons death i wouldn't be very upset over the fact. And no i am not a murder but i have killed before. But glad to hear you think so highly of me Lila."

    "What do you mean you have killed but you aren't a murder? Then what are you?"

She doesn't understand who i am or the pack. I am going about this the wrong way. I need her to understand and in order to do that i need to tell her everything before she leaves me.

    "I will explain everything to you but i need you to do something for me."

"And what's that?"

    "I need you to listen from start to finish without interrupting or running away."

"I can do that."

*Lila Pov

    Jason has been talking for a couple of hours now and it is a lot. No wonder he didn't tell me everything straight of the bat. Rouges, war, killing, death. He has been through so much at such a young age. And I thought my life had been hard. Well it has but i have never had to fight off five rouge wolves while they tried to kill you and your family. Jason had been out with his father fighting to keep his pack safe. And the only way they could neutralize the threat was to make sure they were dead. I don't know how i feel about that but the weirdest thing is the more he talks about himself the more i find myself attracted to him. Like my whole being is gravitated by him. And now i think i understand why his parents don't like me.

    "So the reason your parents don't approve of me being your mate is because i am human right?"

"Yea. They don't disapprove of you Lila but the situation."

    "And so they should. If you are your pack is in danger shouldn't you have someone that can fight by your side as an equal? Not a weak human that you will be worrying about every step of the way."

    "But don't you see that's exactly it. Maybe the goddess put us together to help the pack."

    "What are you talking about Jason?"

   "Lila. You have been through so much in your life. Your family has hurt you in ways i'm sure are imaginable. But even through all that pain and suffering you are still kind hearted and loving and braze and jut truly amazing. And that's what my pack needs right now. That's what we need to make the pack stronger. Someone that can help us heal and keep us together as a strong united front."

    "I think you are putting me on a pretty high pedestal Jason. You have known me for a little over a week now. What makes you think i can be any of those things for your pack.?'

    "For one you haven't stopped thinking of the well being of pack since you learned the truth. You tried to push me away when you thought that was the best thing for them."

I don't know what to say. Everything in my head is telling him, this everything is crazy and i should run for my life. But my gut, my heart is telling me everything he is saying is correct. And that i have fallen undeniably, uncontrollably in love with him. And i hate how corny that sounds but it is what i am feeling right now and what i was feeling when i ran into him in the hall way.

    "Okay Jason. Do it."

    "Do what?"

"Finish the mating bond with me. I will be your Luna."

    Jason flashed his brilliant smile at me and pulled me into a heart stopping kiss that lasted on a few seconds. He broke away to beginning kissing my cheek and slowly working his way down to my neck. He told me that he would need to mark me to start the mating bond and that it would hurt at the start but turn into to pleasure. I feel like i should be worried but i am so lost in the moment that i am having a hard time thinking straight. And before i could think about anything else he stopped kissing me and started biting me. At first it was the most intense pain i have ever felt, but the pain was so swept away and replaced with ecstasy. 

    Jason started to kiss the mark he left on my neck and as i was swooning to the pleasure i could feel all my energy slowly starting to slip away. I looked up at Jason and felt so much love and passion for him but could feel myself starting to fall into a deep sleep.  And with that i was engulfed into the darkness.
