You’re gonna be the death of me
1161 Words
Was he saying he wanted me to be his..? That he rejected his mate for me? What the f**k?!?! James must have read the same thing in his eyes as I had cause he pulled me half behind him and growled ‘mine’. My wolf, Kayleigh, got a hold for a second and I thought about all the ways I could rip his smug face into pieces or let James do it as his claws were pretty much out too. I pushed her to the back of my mind, father would kill me for causing a scene. But if he knew about Luke he might kill him too. Focus Z!! I stroke my hand on James’s arm and took a step to the side so I could see the fear in Luke’s eyes.
”You better watch your words more carefully next time Luke. Or I’ll make sure you won’t see another moon rise after this day!” I said with my best try at an Alpha tone which worked quite well since he only gave me and James a look and raised his hands and walked away with his mother giving me apologizing looks.
“Wait did you two..? You used to date him?” James sounded both surprised and mad at the same time.
“Not date really.. more casually enjoying his company in private. Something I can’t ever believe how he was good company right about now” I explained, or at least I tried to.
“Wow.. I thought you had higher standards than Luke Zara..” and he just walked away with a look of disgust in his eyes.
I would too but Kayleigh took over and I was overwhelmed with emotion. Anger, hurt, loneliness, sadness and also loved. He cares enough to react at least. But did he still care after this. It was just so stupid! I had a different life before him and I can’t just erase my past and I’m not the kind of woman to sit around and wait for my true mate. Who did he think he was?!! He wasn’t my father, he don’t own me! Alpha or not, mate or not. He doesn’t have the right to judge me!!! I had to collect myself so I walk over to the bar to get myself a drink. No, I needed shots. And a lot of them.
After like four shots I started looking for James.. he was gonna get a piece of my mind and then some. I found him by the doorway to the patio looking out over our garden and I walked towards him with powerful steps.
“I need to speak with you!” I said stern as I passed him on my way out on the grass. He followed me slowly without a word so I turned to him before speaking again. ”Who do you think you are?!? You don’t get to decide what I do, not then, now or ever! I had a life before you, I had different plans with my life and you don’t get to judge me for things I’ve done in the past! It’s not acceptable! Are you getting this?!” I wasn’t speaking, I was yelling. I just had to let all of my emotions out and I had. He didn’t say anything but his eyes told me I had his undivided attention so I went on. ”I may not be the type of woman you want as Luna and I’m sorry for that but I will never let any man tell me what to do. NEVER. And don’t think I won't call you out on your crap too! I’m your mate and not your slave! I’m a dominant, a worrier, a fighter and the daughter of an Alpha, I don’t scare easily.”
He just stood there in awe of the whole speech, never moved or even tried to interrupt. He just looked into my eye and placed his hands on either side of my face and finally spoke.
”I wouldn't want you any other way.” The simple words were all I really wanted to hear as he slowly closer the distance between us and put his lips to mine. I was floating away once again but Kayleigh brought me back to my anger.
“What are you doing? You can’t just kiss me and..” he cut me off by kissing me again. This guy was gonna me the death of me.
“I’m sorry. You are right, I don’t have any right to question your past as long as you’re here with me in the present and future.” He said and kissed me again as I stood in shock. I never thought it would be that easy to make him see my side of it. He whispered in my ear.. “You’re sexy when you’re mad” and then he deepened the kiss.
We are so weird. One moment we are in this fight and the next we are kissing. But then again we are both born to be alphas so I wouldn’t expect anything else. The mate-Bond have such a huge power over us. I don’t even know how I would feel about him with it and that thought scared me a little. I’ve only know him for a couple of hours and I can’t even imagine my life without him it.
We stayed on each other’s good side the rest of the night, neither of us mentioning Luke which I was thankful for. We spent most of the evening talking to my family and Jake was the only one that was hesitant towards James. But that’s just Jake, always protecting me even if I didn’t need protecting. I got the officially meet the man that had dragged James away earlier. His name was John and James’s Beta. He was really nice to me, just not too friendly but I figured it had something to do with the looks James kept shooting at him. He had gone back home to their pack that night on James’s orders.
Father had offered James to stay the night, in the guestroom of course. I was still my father's little baby girl, at least in his eye. Tomorrow we would get to deal with the boring pack stuff and my future. It sounds so big and final. I had showed James to his room on the floor below mine. It was hard to leave his side after I told him goodnight. I leaned in for a sweet kiss that neither of us wanted to end, not until I heard my fathers cocgh in my head, damn mind link. I broke apart from James.
“Goodnight” I said once again
“Sweet dreams my love” he told me as I walked down the hall towards the stairs.
We were sickeningly sweet, cute and so damn cheesy!! I was the type of person I hated. I had teased Stacy for becoming this person and now I was one too. When I had closed to door to my room I had a new voice in my head wanting to start a mindlink. James.
