Alpha And Her Human Mate

Chapter 13 (edited)

My trance was broken by someone saying, " Good morning ".

I must be thinking deeply for not noticing this breathtaking smell. Or maybe Jay was right I'm not that "sharp" right now. I turn to him and greet him and ask him, "How was your night? Did you sleep well? "

"Yes, " He replied with a smile on his face.

I could do anything to keep that smile on his face. I zoned out again (I seemed to be doing that a lot lately), but this time brought back by Bella. Well actually by the sound of her cooking. When did she come here?

She greets me, " Morning al... Ma'am. "

She recovered when I gave her a pointed look. While Adrien was looking at us confused.

" Well, Adrien this is Bella, my cook who make great food and Bella this is my…..my friend Adrien. " I introduced them trying to make it less awkward to which I did a great job.

They just looked at each other and then at me. Wow, this is going great.

"Adrien let's go sit there. I want to talk to you about something. " I said taking his hand and leading him to the living room.

I sat down on the couch and he did the same but leaving a little space between us but it was a lot bigger space for my head. We just sat there for a while, without saying anything. You know there is some type of silence which are comfortable, well it wasn't one of that. It was awkward. It was like we both wanted to say something but not saying.

He decided to break the silence and said, " I don't know why I feel the need to explain. Please don't think of me as some weirdo. I just want to explain this to you."

I nodded in understanding and for him to continue which he did after taking a deep breath.

" You remember the girl " I just heard that and I zoned out.

Oh my god, he's going to tell me off. He's going to tell me that he has a girlfriend and he loves her. I'm not panicking, I'm not.

"I wanted to break up with her yesterday before I fainted. " He said the last part slowly and looking at me like he wanted to see how I would react. I think I did well cause he relaxed while looking at me.

And feel like there is a firework going inside me. I feel so relieved. But not for long as now it's my turn to speak. He was waiting for me to say something. Okay, I can do this.

"Do you believe in a soulmate? " I asked him cautiously.

"I have never thought about it. " He replied honestly.

"Well, my people... I mean the community or tribe would be a better word. We believe that each one of us has a soulmate, our other half. " I told him looking for any reaction.

" Okay, but why are you telling me this? " He asked being genuinely confused.

" Because you are mine. I mean you are my soulmate. " I told him.

"What? How…why do you think that? " He asked with disbelief written all over his face.

And I know I shouldn't jump to a conclusion but I couldn't stop myself from feeling rejected. It's not just who's feeling this way, Flicker is also whimpering in my head.

" There are few signs that help us identify our mate like when you look at them your whole world stops and start revolving around them. You feel a connection with them like you have known them all your life. They become the reason for your existence. " I told him though I can't tell him about the smell I could tell him about something else that might make him believe more.

So I placed my hand on his palms and said, " And you feel sparks whenever and wherever you touch them. "

Minutes passed and nothing happens. He didn't say anything or reacted in any way. I can't tell what he's thinking. How he's taking all this. And the suspense was driving me crazy. I was looking at him to give me some clue, but his face was blank.

Then he said, " Is that why I'm here? "
"Yes", I whispered slowly.

" So you mean to say that you and your people believe in soulmates and by some weird logic I'm your soulmate. But what does that mean for me, can I leave if I want. Or is that choice is taken from me." he said running a hand through his hair.

I can tell he's frustrated and I don't blame him. This is too much to take. But still, his wanting to leave is breaking my heart.

"You can leave when you want. I'm not stopping you. I just wanted to tell you this." I told him trying to keep my composure.

"What what would it mean for you? Would you get another " Soulmate? " He said while putting venom on word soulmate.

"No that's not how this work. I won't get another soulmate. You just find one in your life and I already found one. " I said.

"And still you're willing to let me walk out of the door. You won't come back changing your mind. " He asked me as if he is testing my words are true.

"No I won't change my mind, but" I closed my eyes and continue, " But you have to reject me first. Then you're free to go anywhere. "

"Reject you how. " He asked.

"Just say my name and that you reject me as your soulmate. " I said.

I was just a second away from falling apart. I know I didn't tell him about the pain that will follow his rejection. But he didn't need to know, it's my problem and I will deal with it. I know for sure that he won't be affected as he is the one who's rejecting and he is human. Bond is not that strong for him. It can't be for him to even consider rejecting his mate. I didn't want to stay here waiting for this. I will wait for it to end before falling apart. I watch him thinking deeply, taking every little detail of him.

"What would happen after I reject you? What would it mean for you? Will your people not try to stop me from rejecting their leader? " He asked me curiously.

"It will break our bond and as I feel the bond more than you do, I will feel it break. And no, no one will try to stop you or else they have to answer me. Trust me they wouldn't want that. " I told him this time looking anywhere but him.

He started, "Okay I've made my decision. And I decided that.......
