Chapter 10 - Knox
345 Words
We are sat snuggled in the booth, Lilah is laughing at Indie, dancing away, giving it as good as any of the many drunk people on the dance-floor, despite the fact she has not drunk a drop of alcohol due to being pregnant. She is having fun, as she always does. And Dan is relishing everything his mate does.
Manuel had gone to the bar to order more drinks for us all, as the bucket of beers we ordered when we arrived didn’t last long as predicted. Gabe and Jake are sat chatting.
Lilah snuggles back up to me, I can hear her singing along to the music in the way that she does. I can’t help but smile, thinking back to that first night we’d met as she had done the same back then too….
Suddenly Lilah sits up “ I need to go find Manny” she says.
Wait, what? What was going on?
“Erh, why?!” I look at her. Not sure I liked her rushing off the way she was, wanting to leave me to find another man. Though I know he is her friend. But instinctively the mate bond makes me jealous, not to mention my wolf, Knight gets on edge thinking of his mate around other males, especially unmated ones.
“He needs me……” she says standing up.
Oh does he now?!
I grab her hand “What do you mean?” I demand.
“He thinks he has found his mate, Knox. He is nervous. He wants me to be there for him” she explains gently.
Oh, he’d called for her, needing a friend…..
KNOX?! What do I do?! I think I have found my mate. Oh no, I think she is going. What do I do? Suddenly, I get a link from Manuel too. He sounded panicked.
Seems he wanted me too. s**t, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions….. this mate bond jealousy was difficult….. but right now I need to focus…. My friend needs me…. Time to go help my friend find his mate…….
