Well, I decided to meet him after so much contemplation. I truly was so close to nearly cancelling. I woke to a text from him telling me how much he was looking forward to seeing me – I mean, how pathetic?!And now I have met him, he is doing nothing but trying far too hard. I mean he is clearly a nice guy, which yes, there is nothing wrong with, but isn’t it a little boring? Anthony has some attitude and moodiness to him, it keeps things interesting. We clash and it makes things fun, I find. This boy is such a try hard.He may as well just beg me to be his mate, that is nigh on what he is doing right now. But, I will go along with it, until I can look into him, his pack, and decide what is best for me. I have been offered this opportunity for a reason. But I still think the background I am from is far too good for this neanderthal of a man. That is certainly what he comes across as when he talks.We sit down at the coffee shop, having ordered the food, I allowed him to pay, let him f
Well, we had managed to sit and have some breakfast and chat a little. She did not seem willing to give much away. I had not really learned much more than I already knew. Did not know whether she wanted me or not. Jaxx was just as unsettled, if not more so, which is making me real anxious, which is not a sensation I am massively used to, and I have to say, I do not like it, not one little bit.I truly thought talking to her would help. But it hadn’t. We had spoken, she had told me bits. Until her phone had rang, that was. She had walked off to answer it. I have sat at the table since, waiting patiently for her to return.Though my patience was beginning to wear out now. She had been gone fucking ages. She had gone to stand outside to answer her call, which yeah, I get, as the coffee shop had music playing, but I can't even see her now, she is not anywhere to be seen. I have long since finished my coffee. The food is cold and drying up. I am beginning to wonder if she is even going to
After finishing part of the stack of paperwork on my desk in my office, my brain was beginning to feel somewhat frazzled, not that it takes much at the moment, I have to admit, so I decided it was time to head to the kitchen to make myself a coffee when my phone buzzed.I took it from my pocket and looked at it, wondering who would be texting me. Most people in the pack use the mind link.-------------------JakeSorry I dashed off, the call was urgent, business related, could not get off to come and explain myself. Felt ever so rude, so I do apologize. I hope you can forgive me. Then my phone died, and I have been waiting for it to recharge to allow me to message to explain myself.As I said, I am truly sorry and hope you will forgive me. I hope the chat we had answered some of your questions. I am having to return home earlier than planned now, and will be flying home tomorrow now, so it is doubtful I will see you before that, but you have my contact number and I will forward my ema
I had to flee from the coffee shop. Anthony was in the country! He had travelled to see me! He had surprised me, that is why he had not been contactable. So, the moment he told me that I was not going to hang around to chat and make polite conversation with a "maybe mate" any longer. So I simply left and found a taxi back to the hotel to pack my things, asking Anthony to book me a flight to meet him. I would spend the last few days here with him, before heading home together.That would also mean I get to stay in a decent standard of hotel too, thank the lord! It was only when I got back to the hotel and was about to leave that I realised that I hadn’t even said goodbye to Jake. Haha, how rude of me! But, he completely slipped my mind the moment Anthony said he had come to see me! I could not help it. I didn’t do it on purpose. My mind was just so focused on Anthony and getting to him as soon as I could. Not to mention so touched by the fact he had gone to so much effort to surprise m
I was headed into the packhouse to my office when I saw Jake coming out of his office, crossing to the kitchen, likely for a coffee, and going off the look on his face he needed it. He looked fucking awful! I hadn’t seen him a few days, I knew that, but I had been busy helping Lilah look after Cleo who had been unwell, so we had been taking it in turns looking after her and both staying home. Plus, I had been giving Jake some space after he had been a little sharp with me after I said Rose didn't seem to care about him.No, maybe it wasn't the kindest thing to say, and maybe I should have held back, but it had slipped out before I had a chance to stop myself. The way he had responded told me he was either pissed off, hurt, or a combination of the two. And I have known him long enough to back off and give him space. I can't help my mouth sometimes. I say what I am thinking and it pisses my friends off. I easily offend people, but this is my friend, he is like a brother to me and I swea
It had been over a week since Rose had messaged and I had yet to hear from her again. Despite my many attempts at contacting her. I had messaged her a couple of times to check she had got home ok. But had no response.This concerned me initially, but then began to infuriate me more. This girl seems to show me no respect, and show no care toward me, much like Knox had pointed out. I had met my fated mate and was excited, wanting to get to know her, involve her in my life. She met her fated mate, and made him feel like he was a nuisance, an inconvenience, and did all she could not to include him in her life at all. I did not understand this.I had been struggling to sleep due to how unsettled Jaxx had become. I look knackered. When I look at myself in the mirror I hate who looks back at me. My eyes are surrounded by shadows, and look almost empty, soulless. Jaxx is less enthusiastic to come forward now, hardly urging me for runs like he used to. So being apart from his mate is clearly h
We walked into Jake’s house. It was the first time I had been here, and I had been worried about the fact I was coming alone, but it didn’t feel awkward, weirdly. It was a gorgeous house. I knew that the group of friends had all built their homes on the lake after Knox and Lilah had got together, and Dan and Indie, too, from what they had told me when we had been chatting over a coffee one time when painting. Wanting their homes all close together with them all being so close, and I have to say I love the idea. It is like a little village of their own, and the views of the lake are gorgeous in the summer. I have spent many a evening in the gardens of my cousin and my sister, overlooking the lake, drinking wine or coffee or hot chocolate with them, chatting away about anything and everything.As much as I miss the fact I have my memories of being with Seb at the Crimson Night Pack, and that his body is buried there, I love everything else about this pack. It is amazing, and the scenery
I am sat alongside Ruby in the lounge, laughing and joking as we game. Throwing casual insults at one another like I do with the guys, thinking nothing of it. And she just laughs them off, and throws insults right back. But I know she has a brother so no doubt something she is used to doing with him. She is damn good at the game too. I am having to really concentrate on what I am doing to make sure she isn’t whooping my ass, which I have to say is driving me crazy. I cannot let her beat me, or she would likely not let me hear the end of it. Now she is here, and we are chilling out in the house I am unsure why I thought it would be strange having her around at my house. Though I don’t know what the others would think if they were to find out she had been around here, just the two of us alone. That is what bothers me. That everyone reads so much into it. Especially now I have Rose, as it would not look good if anything got back to her. But Ruby and I are good friends. I enjoy her c
