2- delusions
“What! Why?” I tried as much as possible to not let it show too much that I was panicking.
“Is it because of the texts? Was it something I said? Something I did?” Things were going off in my head on why he wanted to break up.
He placed his hands gently on mine, calming me just a tad bit. “Baby” the butterflies made themselves present at the pet name.
“Mating season is next two weeks and I am the next In line. If rogues or spies even get a whiff of you being my mate, you might be in danger. So I think it’s best this way for now.”
I nodded my head.
If he was to declare me as his mate during the mating season. It would be safe since he would also be the Alpha by then. Kidnapping his mate would be seen as war. But if he was to claim me before then, he could not protect me to a degree.
“Fine, but I don’t like this,” I grumbled sadly
“Thanks babe” he hugged me tightly. The hug lasted more than the usual amount it was meant to.
“babe?” I tapped him laughing nervously. “one would think you’re trying to escape with the way you’re hugging me” I joked, but obviously, he didn’t get it.
“ I won’t be with you for these few weeks, make sure you take good care of yourself. We can’t have you cold on the choosing day.
I smiled and placed a peck on his cheek.
He tried as much as we could to save ourselves for when we were Mated, but it was hard, so we tried not to do anything provocative
“You want to stay the night?” I offered even though I knew already what his answer was going to be
“You know I can’t, love.” I sighed. Since I was a child, there was one thing I had always truly dreamed of, my mate.
I had been so obsessed with the thought of having a mate that one day, the pack doctor told me how people never get to meet their mates in this lifetime, and I cried. For a whole day.
“Fine! But just because we aren’t talking anymore doesn’t mean you get to ignore me. You still have to talk to me.”
The look on his face told me that he thought otherwise, but I wasn’t having it. I was going to be greedy; if he couldn’t talk to me every time, then he could at least talk to me when no one was looking.
“Fine then.” He touched my cheeks looking at them like he was looking at them for the first time. “I can’t wait till you get your wolf, we’ll be able to talk as much as we want with the mind link, no limits”
I smiled at him even though the thought made me cry Internally.
Most people got their wolves at the age of thirteen, some got theirs earlier, exile on the other hand, there was me. We went to the pack doc who explained that I was a special type of wolf. The less dominant wolf could only be awakened by the dominant one.
It was stupid, but that was the way my wolf was, and there was nothing I could do to change that.
“You know, once I’m able to mind link, I would be your biggest pest,” I smiled at him devilishly.
He actually laughed at that.
I let out a yawn and he seemed to catch on. “You need to rest, tomorrow is school.” He moved a little closer to me, allowing me to smell his cologne, then kissed me on the forehead.
“Good night, bambi,” he said and left, leaving behind the scent of his cologne and of course a bit of my heart.
I woke up the next day with my heart feeling heavy, I already missed him.
“No use missing him now, I can just look forward to three weeks’ time,” I said to myself.
It felt like a heartbreak, but I knew better.
Kaden was paranoid about these things, his parents had Mated before the mating season and she was kidnapped whilst she was pregnant with him.
So I understood where his paranoia was coming from.
I picked up my phone and dialed my best friend, Samantha, “Hey” I called after she picked on the third ring
“What!” She snapped angrily
I rolled my eyes already used to her behaviour. She wasn’t at the very least a morning person.
“I was thinking, can I follow you today?”.
“Sure, now leave me alone,” she said ending the call.
Knowing her lazy ass, she was going to make me do the driving.
I walked down the steps already ready for the remainder of the weeks to go by.
**
The second week was hell,
I got to see Kaden less and he got more and more busy as the days went by.
“Hey, did you hear?” the daughter of an alpha from the next pack over is coming to visit.” I looked from my screen to Sam who could have cared less about that information.
“Yayyy great” she rolled her eyes.
“You’re right, everything is sooo boring around here,” I said, throwing my head back. “How about we sneak up on Kaden?” I suggested giddily
But her whole mood changed. She went from bored to serious real quick.
“Hell no!” She snapped.
I was taken aback by her reaction.
“Kaden specifically told me to keep you away. You know how important this is to him,”
I sighed sadly
I had to say, I felt like she was going out of his way to keep me from him.
“One more week,” I muttered under my breath.
Eric walked into the room, greeting us both.
I really never got close to him. He was the mean kid when we were little and as an adult he never smiled similar to Kaden but different in a way.
We murmured our responses and then went quiet till he left, for different reasons. Me because it was awkward to talk to him since I had nothing to talk to him about, but Sam on the other hand?
If he had talked to her personally, she would have shit herself. She was sooo obsessed with him.
“You know he has a serious girl right?” I had to remind her.
Eric was in love with this girl from the next pack. It started when they were fifteen and everyone was betting they were mates.
“Yeah? But guess what!!” She said so excitedly. “ A lotttt can change in a week” she replied excitedly.
She laid down on the chair, smiling Into thin air.
