Chapter 9- Mates

Lexy

I was going to respond when Leila howls ‘MATE’. I’m in total disbelieve and then I start remembering last night. I guess my thoughts were showing in my face because I see CJ’s face showing worry. “What’s wrong CJ?” He looked at me funny at the question. Like if I had grown an extra head.

“You looked like you saw a monster. Could you tell me what happened last night? And take your time. Okay?" he said softly. “I was feeling hot and getting hotter by the minute. I decided to take a walk to try and get some air and cool down. But no matter all the walking I was doing, I just kept feeling hotter. I also remember looking up and seeing a huge shadow coming towards me. That's the last thing i remember from last night until now. Next thing I know I’m here with you” I responded. “Now you’re turn. And don't leave anything out please. What happened last night and how I ended up here?” he smirked to my snappy attitude. I don't know why I was so sassy with him.

CJ

“Yes ma’am” I give her a smirk. “Since you walked through the door Xazul said MATE. I had been looking for you all over the place but couldn’t spot you. When I headed to the back I picked up your scent by the fountain. I began following your scent into the woods. And Xazul told me to hurry up and get to you. That something was wrong and you needed us. When I finally reached you, your heart was beating really fast, you were in your fighting stans and then you began to faint. I’m glad we found you on time. There was a hybrid rogue heading right for you at full force. I took care of it immediately. i picked you up and then brought you to my room” I passed my hand through my messy hair as i retold her what happened last night. She just stared at me with a blank expression.

“Did you just say hybrid rogue?” Lexy exclaimed. “Yeah. But it never got near you. I made sure of it. By the way. What’s going on with your temperature? You were really hot last night.” She cocked her head to the side. “I’m not sure. It started on the morning of my birthday” she explained. “When was your birthday?” I asked wanting to really know more about her. “It was yes….” she paused and looked down at her hands. “Was your birthday yesterday too?!” I asked in total shock. ‘We share birthdays with our mate’ Xazul says with a wolfish smile. “Your birthday was yesterday?” she wouldn’t look me in the eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me your birthday was with mines?” I said calmly. Trying to look for any signs in her face but she wouldn't look at me.

“Is not important” she responded in a low tone. I take her chin in my thumb and index finger and tilt her face up to look her in her beautiful green eyes. “How can you say it’s not important mate?” Xazul pushed forward. Her eyes started tearing up and I couldn’t help myself, and next thing I know I'm kissing her. When I realized what I was doing, I backed away and let her go. I really didn’t want to let her go but I didn’t know how she was feeling. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. I just couldn't see you cr..” I was cut off by her kissing me. She took me off guard with the kiss. Right when the shock wore off she pulled away from me. I wanted more of her kisses. More of her touch. We were hypnotized with everything about her.
