Affinity and an Alpha's sister is and will always be equal to over protectiveness.
Werewolves grew to the telltale of Vampires being the only beings who could be immortal and have extra abilities. What they didn't know or what hasn't been told to them yet is that they're wrong, and because it hasn't been opened to public— other people would call these cool werewolves weird and an outcast.
Just like me. My whole life I have been home schooled, I have never left the premises of my pack lands and the only joy I could have is the huge lawn of ours that connected into the never ending woods of La Push. I could hear the waves of the beach sometimes, but maybe I'm just imagining to hear them because I've never been really outside of the pack.
I can only leave my house, however, when two Were Warriors are to escort me wherever I want to go, or whenever my brother has to make a statement in our Meeting Field. In which near it is our training ground that I can never go to, an Orphanage center that I am only allowed to go to because there's no unmated males around and I'm just basically playing with pups.
Ever since our pack decided to be more open, members after members came barreling in our Pack. My brother, as the Alpha, has to go through tons of paperworks and tons of renovations for the betterment of our Pack. And me? Well, I have to go through tighter security and protection, I was happy with the new people back then— but I decided to stay inside our house because I realized that some are only being friends with me because of my brother.
That's where my Affinity comes in, I can hear people's thoughts and transfer photogenic memories to anyone that my wolf would only recognize as dear to them. I can never transfer photogenic memories to commoners in our pack, only if they are dear in my life then yes— I could. But for the time being, it had always been Emily and Sam.
I tiptoed over to look side to side, heaving a sigh out when I realize that I lost the Were Warriors that was supposed to be with me as we head for the Public Field. My brother decided to call for a brief pack announcement and just for this once, I really wanted to be with myself only.
Or, maybe not. .
❝ You're the Alpha's sister right? I'm Rebecca, I just joined the pack like. . Last month but you weren't really there for the official ceremony that your brother held. He said you were busy but I doubt that! ❞ A Brunette excused, glancing at me and her supposedly–girlfriends. I gave a grim smile,
Oh lord, please. Tell me they'll go away soon.
❝ I'm Roxy! Your brother's fine as hell, I might even melt right here– right now! ❞ She purred, I would have puked right on her red dress if I wanted to but I was tempted to call my guards to sweep me away from these women instead. But hey, I wouldn't really mind if she melted right now! That'd mean she would stop talking too much. . Right?
But one of them just literally burnt my good attitude to ashes. ❝ How about we'll be best friends if you could just, . Give my number to your brother? Tell him to call me sometime, you know? Have a little fun. ❞
Clicking my tongue, I accepted her paper with scribbled number warily. Glancing from the paper in hand then back to them, I stood taller with an offending smile on my face– hoping that they see it coming.
I tore the paper and walked away, but not before saying. ❝ I would really appreciate friends who knew better than to offer friendship in exchange of a one night stand. See you never time, mutt. ❞
I could hear their disagreeing shrieks as I pulled my hood over, vastly turning over small spaces that these weres made to squeeze myself in and hopefully go to another part of this humongous crowd where people aren't selling themselves for my brother and hopefully shut their mouths so I could listen to his announcement soon.
❝ Eva! ❞
I jumped on my place, I was just behind a tree with a few other weres who had their pups with them. I pulled my hood closer, mind–linking my obviously furious brother to which I can see ( from where I stand ) fuming next to his Luna, Emily. ❝ Yes, Sammybear? ❞
❝ I have no time playing your games, Eva! Your guards said they lost you a few minutes ago and you're supposed to be next to me in this announcement that I have to make! Believe it or not, I can call over the rest of my patrols to fetch you for me and you will do no such thing to stop it! ❞ He hissed, I could practically feel the fear that stabbed through my chest. Clenching my fists, I tried to ease my heart that's accelerating by second.
I looked around, ❝ Stop looking around like you've lost your mother as a child in a mall, Brother. Do you hear their thoughts? They're impatient to know what you have called them for in the middle of their work. Just let me be for this once, you have tightened my leash way too far already. If I were you though, I'd rather start the announcement because I have a few gifts for you to spare as well. ❞
A growl came from the other end but I couldn't help but smirk when I heard my pack's shrieked mentally and their conversational debates over why my brother came too harsh on engaging the announcement. The men in front of me became my barriers, well I used them to be my barries, and so as I looked at the stage to find Emily soothing Sam– I couldn't help but chuckle earning a few glances.
Minutes passed and I was sure that my brother was nearing the end of his speech, when Emily took a step forward to give her own speech– I felt the liquid in my eyes as I sent a photogenic memory to my brother of what happened just earlier. Smirking when I saw him scowl in disgust, mind–linking him once more.
❝ Rebecca, Roxy, and the other girl. Her name's Lia. I heard some other unmated females' remarks earlier— do you want me to send them to you? ❞ I asked mockingly, but his facial expression was enough for me to disconnect our link. I leaned over on the trunk of the tree, my back was away from the crowd and my brother's next announcement. In the midst of it though . . I smelt it.
It smells amazing.
I looked around, popping the lollipop in my mouth that I stole from Sam's secret candy stash. The scent was like the woods, that fresh smell I have been dying to comfort myself every night. It was manly as well, the pure cinnamon scent that made my heart skid faster.
❝ Also, another thing. For unmated females out there, I would like you to know that I am, in no way, interested in you. I am interested in your Luna, My mate, My wife. You ought to stop your horrible urges over me or I will send you out of this pack for good. I know who you are, but I'd rather not say. . ❞
I pulled my hood back, following the scent that had me captivated. I did not fear the patrols anymore, or the fact that my brother could see me from where he stood. I did not fear the people's glances, I wanted to know who he was. Who the person who held such amazing scent was.
❝ And not only that but also for my sister. For the unmated males who has urges for my sister even though you know that you're not her mate— Remember that you have a destined one and they will fulfill you so you have to stop messing around. Your mate is your other half after all, ❞
I hear their thoughts, I hear everyone's low mumurs and their intentions. I feel their eyes on me and I feel the others who wants to touch me and ask what's wrong, I feel everything around me but I also felt nothing. It was the weirdest feeling of all,
❝ Because your mate stands one beyond this world. There is no one better than your mate that is destined for you, the least that you can do is to respect them and your urges. Know that to have a mate is the best feeling ever, and nothing can ever surpass that. ❞
I felt my world froze, because right in front of me is that man. I was pretty sure he was one of the patrolmen that my brother told me that'd be searching for me. And he is searching for me, he's looking for me.
The best feeling is that he looked at me too, he saw me too. Suddenly I couldn't hear people's thoughts, I was focused on the ground I step on and his dark eyes that studied mine carefully. But when my wolf whimpered, I knew.
I knew that he was afraid to be mine.
❝ Never underestimate your mate, that's your other half. Your soul that completes you. And no other can complete you but your mate. So what are you waiting for? You roam around, search for him or her, right around the world and tell me— tell me how it feels. ❞
It sucks, brother. That's how it feels.
❝ Because I know you're satisfied when you tell me. ❞
I didn't realize the tears that left my eyes, the people who saw the commotion between me and my unnamed mate. I didn't realize how I took a step back and cursed at my affinity, I didn't realize how much it hurts to know that he's afraid to be with me because of my brother. Because of my brother who is the Alpha of one of the amazing packs out there, I didn't realize how I whispered through a mind–link and ran away from my mate.
❝ Disband. ❞ I whispered, to which I heard Sam said the same thing. The people scattering around to find exit so they could leave quickly. I should be mad at your brother, but I knew that I couldn't. Knowing it's not a fault to be an Alpha. It's a privilege, and so the good and the bad comes in different ways.
I clearly didn't realize how I walked up the stage's stairs, ran towards Sam and hugged him. Crying because of my stupid affinity, crying because of my coward mate. Sam has no idea what happened, but I felt him carried me home when I felt like nothing.
It's been two weeks.
Two weeks since I decided that food doesn't matter, two weeks since the last time I have heard of my wolf. I couldn't even use my affinity because she's devastated too much to let me use it, even the mind–links absorbs strength in me. And somehow in someway, I knew I've been weaker than before.
Placing William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream book down, I sighed out as I stood still in front of my study desk. I studied the dark skies through the open window, I've never felt a little bliss like this since last two weeks. I've indulged myself in absurd appetite and radiation for using too much technology.
I sniffed, eyebrows suddenly furrowing when I realized that Emily and Sam hasn't returned home yet. I turned over to my bedside table where my digital clock lays. Growing more confused when it's 2AM.
❝ Emily? ❞ I asked through my mind–link, I nervously tapped weird patterns on my study desk. Biting my lip in the process of waiting,
❝ Yes, Eva? ❞
I almost choked a scared sob when I heard her reply, shaking my head to forget all of the bad things that created chaos in my head. I tried to sound okay, ❝ You guys aren't home yet, it's 2AM. Why are you still out? ❞
I swore I heard Emily chuckle before replying, ❝ A gift. ❞
And then I felt her cutting the connection, my eyes widened. What gift? She cut the connection intentionally and I felt it! But gift? What the hell is she talking about in 2AM talking about gifts when my birthday, their anniversary, or Christmas is far from coming?!
❝ A gift? ❞ I repeated out loud, completely upset for being left clueless.
And then I heard it, I heard a few ruffling sounds coming from outside that transferred inside my room. And then the smell came in, I felt my wolf howling inside me and shrieking in joy. My affinity coming back all at once it made me stumble awkwardly as I took a step back and glanced at the man before me.
Standing on the other side of my room where my other window is wide open, is a shirtless mate of mine with a frown on his face. His dark brown eyes studying me, drinking my figure in hopes of not forgetting it anytime soon. Completely flabbergasted, I stood a good few feet before him and though my wolf told me to get closer, the human side of me kept on screaming; Trespassing piece of shit! He just trespassed your house like it's nothing!
Realizing my parted mouth, I closed it as abruptly as I could. Trying to keep my eyes connected with his and not his perfectly sculpted body like that of Adonis— ❝ Wh–What are you doing here?! ❞
I marched my way over to where he stood, completely ignoring my howling wolf as I side stepped him to close my window. I draw the curtains back in and turned around to face him, he was already facing me like that of a predator.
Hands placed on my temples, I sighed out. ❝ Hey. . You know you shouldn't be here. My brother would freak out— ❞
And when I was babbling on and on, hands still on my temples as I tried to face away knowing how bad I looked right in 2AM. I felt his hand on my lower back, pulling me to him like it was the most classiest thing to do.
His face burrowed right on the nape of my neck, breathing in the scent. ❝ Mate. . My mate, My beautiful mate. ❞
I gulped, man– Even hearing his desperate voice can make any girl pregnant. The only thing to make our second meeting pleasant was to accept him as my mate, to let him hold me close knowing his wolf must have been dying to do it for the past few weeks he had
last seen me. It didn't even matter to me when I heard his thoughts the first time we met, because right now— he's confident as hell.
He was still hugging me when he talked, ❝ I'm sorry if I was a coward. I didn't do this much earlier but I could only hold for long, Eva. I've been desperate ever since, my temper going by unnoticed. I need you now, Eva, I need you more than anything. ❞
He let go of me, but his hands were still there on the bottom of my back. I would've been fine and all giddy with his confession if I didn't look such a mess, I've been lacking sleep and my choice of clothes aren't really the best thing in the world. Don't even let me start with how my hair became a bird's nest over the time I forgot to combed it.
I found no voice, I only looked down when I felt his finger under my chin– making me look back at him. And the only thing I can say? ❝ H–Hi. . ❞
He beamed.
Damn right he did. With such simple word I managed to make him smile, what confused me is how happy he could get by a simple greeting of mine. I had no idea what to say in the first place, I wanted to ask him a lot of things but I ended up with a poor excuse of a greeting.
❝ Hello. ❞ This time, his voice was much deeper. The mischievous smile dancing and illuminating his features more and I knew, I knew that he was playing with me and I knew what he thought of me personally. And you know what? I feel like melting right here to stop the strings of curses that is willing to fall from my lips.
He thought I was adorable.
Goodness.
Suddenly, his facial expression went from goofy to serious. Even he looks gorgeous in his serious face, I thought men would look ugly but he made it so much better. ❝ I don't have too much time, but I would like it if we go out tomorrow? . . Or later, actually. . Go out later? We can go to the beach and we can eat at a Diner in Port Angeles. . How does that sound, Mate? ❞
This time, it was my turn to beam. Nodding, I answered. ❝ Alright, what time do you plan to go? ❞
❝ 10 in the morning, so I can have more time to be with you. ❞ He said, slowly– he loosened his hold on me as he walked over to the closed curtains and opened them. Pulling my window upwards, he settled on my window's rim with a smirk. ❝ Did I sound too selfish? ❞
Oh honey, you can be as selfish as you want. ❝ No no. . I would like to be with you as well. . I mean have more time with you. . ❞
This time, he smiled. Nodding. ❝ Great, Because I tend to be possessive over time. ❞
Squinting my eyes, I snorted. ❝ Yeah sure, good luck being with this gal. She's crazy, you know– just setting you off with a warning. ❞
My mate looked outside, then back to me. His eyes studying me once more before he gave me a small smile, ❝ I like her like that. . And oh by the way. ❞
❝ Yeah? ❞
❝ My name's Paul. Paul Lahote, the Third–in–Command of this pack. ❞
With that he left, I bit on my lip to suppress a shriek. Letting myself fall on my bed that felt much comfier now than ever, I couldn't believe it! I literally feel like going nuts over my mate, his scent wafted right in my room and I've never felt so much like home since.
And then I heard it, our house's door opening to which comes after was Sam and Emily's laughter.
A gift.
❝ A friend? From where? Is it human or a werewolf? How come you've met someone outside the pack lands but more specifically. . Is it a girl or a boy? ❞ Groaning, I lament on my brother's shooting questions as I tugged my beach bag tighter.
Biting onto my lip, I sighed out. ❝ A friend, from outside the country, human, I met her through Wattpad and yes— it's a Her. Are we cleared here? ❞
Emily, who is pregnant and possibly my fairy godmother, sipped on her warm milk and smiled at me knowingly. Nudging my brother with her arm as she glared at him, ❝ You are a protective little bastard, do you know that? Anyways, Eva, you should go! Have fun out, but to ease your brother over here, how about I mind–link Paul to guard you for the day? This is the least that we can do for you, honey. We really don't know what's outside and we're running out of options. ❞
I tried not to grin, doing my best act to sigh out without smiling, I slumped on my couch and drank my chocolate milk. Narrowing my eyes off to the distance and defeatedly nodding, ❝ I wish I have more freedom. . But okay, Just don't let him get too near me. Who is he, anyway? ❞
Sam smiled at my agreement, ❝ He's the Third–in–Command of this pack, Eva. Give some respects to that guy, anyway. . For as long as he got to be with you then that's fine. I'll tell him right now. ❞
Discreetly looking down and sipping on my chocolate milk with a sigh, I mind–linked Emily who was looking outside our lawn as if the view made all of her responsibilities go away for a second. ❝ Thank you, Fairy God–Mother. ❞
A chuckle came, ❝ Anytime, Child. ❞
It didn't even take long before someone knocked in our door, Sam was quick enough to stand and called me over to the front door. Hastily standing up, I tried to cover my excitement as I stood next to him– opening the door to see the serious Paul I have seen last night.
❝ Keep a close eye on this kid, got me? ❞ Sam ordered, receiving a brief nod from Paul as I sighed out and rolled my eyes. Walking over towards the pick–up that was parked right in front of our house, I threw my beach bag in. Paul came soon after and drove away, not until Sam ordered loud.
❝ Be home before 8:30! ❞
Throughout the drive my heart never stopped going slow, his hand's locked with mine as we sang our hearts out with the music that's playing on the radio. The car's window is opened, and I'm sure that the other creatures that stayed in the dark would rather go further than hear our voice's singing together.
Stopping by the beach, I literally just took my clothes off and I stood with my two piece. A smile dancing on my lips as Paul strolled next to me and placed a lingering kiss on my temple with a smile. Though it didn't really take long before we took off to the water and decided to play around.
A few moments passed by and we were hand in hand, ❝ I. . Wasn't really happy of my appearance before. ❞
I felt him froze beside me, I can feel his burning gaze that decided to stay on me for a little more. ❝ No one judged me, literally no one. There was no one to blame, but I was jealous of these women my age who looked better in a dress than I do. It's like they were born to be like that, and you know. . I became– I craved to be thinner. ❞
Chuckling, I shook my head. ❝ But pretty does hurt, if it weren't for Emily and Sam who were there for me— I probably would've looked like a walking corpse now. It did take a while though, and sometimes that insecurity of mine rises, but there's this kid thay I really find amusing in the pack's orphanage center. ❞
❝ Saying that her size barely matters to her, or the size of anyone. Because as long as they get to help her eat, as long as those people have someone to return home to— who was she to judge? At least they should be grateful, she said, because they were given a body to work with. And you know what? I comeby to the orphanage because they make my sadness go away, until days turned to months and years. They are still my happy little pills. ❞ I sighed out, smiling at the Sun that was happily out and about. Very rare here in La Push.
I didn't really know what happened, but I heard Paul's reply. ❝ Mate, you look absolutely beautiful. Tell me your satisifed with who you are now, because if you ask me. . I'm more than satisfied. ❞
And he pulled me the second time to hug me like his life depended on it.
After a few more talks, we decided to head over Port Angeles to eat at a Diner. All throughout we decided to talk more about the good things that happened in our lives over dinner, we would be laughing out and way too hard we were sure that the couple others who were sitting on our neighboring booths were pissed at our loud voices.
After we ate, we decided to take a little walk around as we passed by a book shop. Smiling in delight, I went over to get in as Paul trailed behind. I smiled at the worker who merely gave us a glance and I decided to go through stacked books that somehow caught my interest.
❝ Ew, Romance? ❞ Paul asked, picking a random book as I laughed and rolled my eyes playfully. Deciding to tease him, I went over to the other end of stacked books to see the book Divergent and grabbed one. Shrieking as if I haven't already own one, I glanced at his confused figure.
❝ Do you see this guy right here? Yeah he's hot, isn't he? ❞ I asked, pointing at Theo James' figure who was beside Shailene Woodley as the book's cover. Paul raised his brows, I turned my back to hide my smile only when I was grabbed back.
❝ I know I'm hotter than that guy so put the book down and let's go. ❞ Paul said, laughing when he did so. It took us a few minutes to get out of the book store and walked over to the car. To which in our last minutes before we part, we decided to spend it as if it will be our last.
The drive home wasn't silent, it was filled with lame pick–up lines and laughter that then overlapped the music that's blaring on the radio. For once we decided to just have fun, not minding what will happen next. What will happen tomorrow, or the following days.
After all, he is my mate— best suited for me.
Stopping in front of our house, we took a few silent seconds to recall what happened today. Our parting should be less melancholic, but it is. Knowing we'd probably hide ourselves from my brother and hope for the best to happen in our relationship. Glancing at Paul, I gave him a small smile when apparently he was already looking at me.
❝ Thank you for the day, Princess. You made the places I once see as nothing suddenly became everything. It's easier when you're with me, ❞ He said, leaning over to place a chaste kiss on my forehead.
I felt tears pricked my eyes, when will be the next date scheduled? This man is going to be the death of me, ❝ I hope one day we'll just stop pretending we're not together. I hope one day I can take pride on spreading that yes. . You are my mate. Warding of unmated males from you because you're mine. Just like how I am yours. ❞
I took a deep breath, looking up at him with a grim smile. Closing the night with a small kiss on his cheek, he left his seat to go to my side and opened my door. Smiling gratefully, I hopped out of the car and glanced at him one more time.
❝ One day, I hope. ❞ I murmured.
I squeezed his hand that I didn't realize I was clutching my life onto, if it'll take months before we go out again— I would go nuts. Reality came crashing into us when he squeezed my hand back in reassurance but what slapped us to fear was when a growl clearly came from a man that's standing on my house's porch.
Head snapping towards my brother's direction, I winced. ❝ Sam no— ❞
Unfortunately, there was no stopping.
No second was left to loose when Sam ran in an incredible speed from our porch towards my mate, his hand clutching Paul's collar that– in the process– pushed me harshly and away from the two wolves. Once when I was in air, the next I was already on the ground. My head bouncing from the impact as I grimaced, taking a sharp breath as I looked at our house and decided for a quick mind–link.
❝ Emily! Quick! Call the warriors! Sam opt to kill my mate! ❞ I groaned out, standing from my place as I decided to block Emily's rap of comfort in our link. I looked at my mate who shifted mid–air as Sam was still on his human form, who had more advantage indeed when he landed a punch on my mate's jaw. Clutching his hand that turned into claws, he shifted soon right after.
Clenching my hands to fists, I called over. ❝ Sam, you stop it! ❞
I heard their paws making contact with the ground, I heard Emily's footsteps from the second floor of our house trying to get down in the flight of stairs she has to curse on for because of being pregnant. I heard the incoming thoughts, I heard the sudden commotion and our pack members' talks that lead me to believe that they are outside.
To which when I looked around, they are. Looking worried.
I didn't know what I did, but I was sure I tried to reconnect to as many pack members as I can to ward them off from this huge fight. Their Alpha against the Third–in–Command to which majority placed their bets off to my brother, but I didn't know how much energy it has to consume me. I barely made it alright.
Because when I blindly took a step, angering Sam's wolf, the minds that were linked with mine heard my screams of terror when I was pushed back and my back that hit my house's porch pillar made the scene more dangerous. I heard their worried voices, I heard a few more paws, I heard screams from the others who said they saw blood.
But I knew that I had their ears ringing when I screamed like it was my last.
❝ Paul please. . ❞
❝ She's my mate! Don't you dare put your hands on her! ❞
A whimper came from who I believed was Sam's, ❝ But she's my sister. . ❞
The beeping sound that the heart monitor made, made me want to scream again to shut it down. It feels like something was hovering right on my eyes– forbidding me to open them until there's a good reason why I should open it. But even though I can't open them now, I heard the two's commotion.
❝ If you would have just loosened the leash you had around her! You said it yourself, she's your sister not your dog! I don't care if you won't treat me as your Third–in–Command anymore, my rank doesn't even matter when it comes to her. . If you could've just understood her like how she wants to be understood by the rest. . With her affinity. . ❞ Paul drifted, I could feel his gaze on me. I could feel his sadness.
But I knew Sam was shocked to hear that Paul knew of it. ❝ She's meant to be known, My mate is meant to be more than just the Alpha's Sister. She's meant to be the Werewolf in their telltales to have an Affinity, she needs to be recognized too. Inspite of the fear you carry with you that they will turn their backs on her, but why would they when the don't have any reason to? She's the kindest girl there is. . Eva is the kindest girl there is. ❞
❝ And you're scared of her for being kind. ❞ Paul finished, I felt my eyes water even though they were closed. His soft hands brushing over my surely disheveled hair. I wanted to smile for his bravery, for telling my brother what I can't.
I felt him leave my side, my wolf then yearned for his touch. But I realized that he went to take a seat by my side. His cold hands clutching my fragile ones. And just when I thought that there will be no more words exchanged, I felt another figure next to me. This time, I knew who it was.
It's my brother, Sammybear, Sam Uley.
❝ Yes, you're right. ❞ Sam replied, I didn't know if it was Paul who clenched my hand or it was me. But I was ready to hear my brother's reasoning, this time— I get to hear that vulnerable side of him he forbid me to be heard or seen of. ❝ She's the kindest girl I have ever known, too innocent in this world full of bastards. ❞
❝ I didn't want her to be exposed because I don't want my enemies to be hers. You can't be a leader of a pack and be successful without enemies on your back. If she's known, Emily wouldn't be the only jewel and vulnerability in this pack. They will come for her, for her beauty, for her innocence, and for my blood. I don't want her to be hurt, she's the only thing that ever mattered to me when I had nothing and no one.
She was there when I didn't want to be an Alpha, she was there when I thought I'll never have my Luna. She was there all the time and I fear that one day, she'll be taken away from me. I have relied on her for so long, Paul. Loosing her is like. . I can't even describe it. I can't even imagine myself being away from her. ❞
Silence engulfed them, ❝ But, tell me you'll treat her well. Because this time, not only will she be known for her affinity, but she will be known as this pack's Third–in–Command's mate. I put my trust in you, Paul. Asides from Emily, she matters the most to me. ❞
I couldn't hold it anymore, tears fell freely from my eyes as I felt my hand moved. My eyes opening as I grasp into the air that entered my lungs. My hands found my Brother's and my mate's who grinned wider than they ever could.
❝ Mate, ❞ Paul acknowledged, leaning over to press a kiss on my forehead. He wiped he tears away as I smiled at them, in which Sam went down from my hospitsl bed to walk over Emily's place who was sleeping but Sam placed a kiss on her lips jolting his mate awake. She roamed her eyes around when she saw me being helped by Paul to sit up.
She beamed, ❝ Oh my baby! ❞
She came over, standing abruptly from her seat as if she wasn't pregnant. Leaning over to give a kiss on my cheek, I smiled weakly at her but leaned back to the warmth that my mate, My Paul, emitted. Looking up at him, I grinned.
❝ I'm sorry. ❞ He murmured, Eyes studying him I gave a peck on his cheek and turned my eyes back to the couple in front of me. Sam walked over who grasped my hand with a solemn look on his face,
❝ I'm sorry, poopface. I got carried away with my temper. . ❞ He explained, I sighed out to which I pinched his palm making him grunt. Smiling widely, I nodded at him. A sign of accepting his poor apology.
Emily glanced from me to her mate, in which Sam decided to speak up. ❝ Alright, we'll just pick up food for you. Paul, you let her rest. We'll be back shortly. ❞ Paul, who was beside me, nodded and placed another kiss but now on the crown of my head. Watching the two leave but not until Sam came back,
❝ But of course, Paul. Try to hurt her, cheat on her, or do anything that might anger me the most. . You'll know that the fight we had yesterday was just a teaser. ❞

❝ So what are you waiting for? You
roam around, search for him or her ,
right around the world and tell me —
tell me how it feels . Because I know
you're satisfied when you tell me . ❞
