Mated to my enemy

Chapter 29 - The talk

"Oh hey guys, watcha doing here?" I asked them.

Their expressions were serious and not as playful as they usually are.

"We need to talk," they said in unison.

I would have awwed if they didn't look so serious. I stepped aside so that they could come in. They went to the couch and I asked them if they wanted anything to which they refused. I sat down across from them with my hands in my lap.

"So what's going on?" I asked looking at both of them.

"Daphne you need to talk to Arron," Ben said leaning forward.

"Yeah he's been moody and snaps at every little thing," Luke said.

It was now that I noticed that they looked tired and stressed, what was happening?

"I don't understand what that has to do with me," I said looking away from them.

Ben let out a sigh and Luke just rolled his eyes.

"Daph it has everything to do with you. Ever since you guys were in the fight, he just hasn't been himself and he's been taking it out on the pack," Luke said with a tired voice.

"Please Daph we need you to talk to him," Ben pleaded, interlacing his fingers and making a pleading motion.

I shook my head. I couldn't see him nor talk to him. I knew that one day is have to talk to him because it was unavoidable but I really didn't want it to be now.

"Please, do it for the good of the pack," Luke said, joining Ben with the pleading motion.

At that moment I knew I was going to give in since I loved the pack. Every time I was there, everyone was so kind to me and the kids would always want me to play with them. I couldn't not help them, who knows what that idiot is doing.

"Okay fine, I'll talk to him tomorrow. But don't tell him I'm coming," I grumbled.

They high fived and said, "Thank you thank you thank you!"

They both give me a hug and had a relieved look on their faces.

"Oh and since we know you were going to agree we brought food for us to show our gratitude," Ben said with a smirk as Luke left outside to their car.

I just rolled my eyes and thanked them.

It was now noon and I was getting ready to go and talk to Arron. I had a mix of feelings. I felt nervous, scared, angry, sad and I just didn't want to go. But I made a promise and I plan to keep it. I grabbed my keys and phone and hopped on my car. I put on some music to help calm my nerves. In what felt like two minutes, I was outside of Arron's house. Which reminded me of Sydney. I haven't talked to her in a while as well, I just hoped that none of this would hurt our friendship. I got out of the car and took a deep breath. Welp, here I go. I walked up and knocked at the door. I stood there and was greeted with a worried Luke.

"Oh thank goddess your here! He's having one of his tantrums in his office, get up there fast!" He pulled me inside and gave me a push to the stairs.

"Well hello to you too," I mumbled.

I walked up the stairs and could already hear the ruckus. It sounded like elephants were in a tutu trying to dance ballet but couldn't seem to balance so they would fall and break things in the process. I walked up to the office and opened the door. It was completely crashed. The desk was in two pieces, there were papers everywhere, the computer was destroyed, the chair was turned over.

I spotted Arron punching a wall so I called out, "Arron?"

He froze at my voice. He turned around and looked at me, breathing hard. We just stood there staring at each other. His expression hardened and looked away.

"What are you doing here, shouldn't you be with your vampire boyfriend?" he asked angrily.

"What? What are you talking about?!" I said, getting angry myself.

He stayed silent, turning away from me. I thought for a second and one name came to mind.

"Do you mean Kyle? He's not my boyfriend and never will be," I said, putting my hands on my hips.

He turned to look at me and scuffed, "Right."

"Look, the only reason I came here was because I was asked to. Arron, I think your being hard on the pack," I said.

"I'm not being hard on the pack and it's none of your business how I'm running my pack," he said, puffing out his cheeks.

"Oh but that's where you are wrong. You made this my business once you brought me into this. So your either going to fix that attitude of yours and treat the pack better or you'll be dealing with me," I said, crossing my arms.

He smirked at me and came close to me.

"You know you make it really hard to be mad at you," he whispered in my ear.

I shivered at his husky voice.

"Well I'm still mad at you for what you did, now, promise me you'll be nicer to the pack," I said, stepping away from him.

"Ok, yes, I promise but Daphne we really need to talk, I-I'm just so sorry," he said and grabbed my hand.

"Look Arron, what you did- it's just, it's not going to be that easy for me to forgive you," I said looking away from him.

"Yes I know, and I will try hard to get you to forgive me," he said with a determined tone.

"I-" I said wordless.

"Shh you don't have to say anything, just let me try to get your forgiveness," he pleaded.

"I'll try, but, you really hurt me Arron. I thought mates didn't dot that to each other," I said looking him straight in the eyes.

"I thought that too," he whispered very lowly that I almost missed it.

"What?" I asked him.

"Nothing. Nothing important, just forget it. Thanks for giving me the chance," he said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I froze at that and cleared my throat.

"I have to go, don't forget the promise you made," I said opening the door.

"See you soon," he said.

I went into the hall and down the stairs. I almost toppled over when I crashed into someone.

"Well?"I heard a very impatient Luke ask.

I looked up and saw Ben and him looking at me intently. It's so cute that their always together.

"He said he would be nicer," I told them with a smile.

They hoorawd and hugged me. I left them to party and got in my car. What a day. I got home to recurve a call from Luke.

Me: Hello?
Luke: Daphne I need you ASAP over the week.
Me: What for?
Luke: Ben's birthday party of course
Me: Oh right ok sure I'll help you
Luke: Okay I'll tell you the deets later
Me: Okay I'll talk to you later
Luke: Yes thank you, bye

I hung up and went to get ready to go to my training session. Yowzas is this day tiring.
