Chapter Four- Missing My Mate

Lucas Walters (POV)

Damn, I miss my mate and I was so stupid about what I did. It had been a week and I stayed away from Jane to give her space. In all honesty, I am afraid to face her. What if she rejects me? I know I deserve it but since I discovered for a fact that Jane was my mate, I desire only her. Thinking of anyone else makes me feel sick. I know it has to be the mate bond. And I promised not to cause any kind of pain to my beautiful mate. I did notice how she dressed on her special day. It took my breath away. I had never seen her dress so grown up before. She has grown so much and now is a curvy woman. Her breasts are large but not too large and her ass…Oh, don’t get me started on her sexy ass. She has an hourglass shape and absolutely perfect in every way for me.

Just thinking about her gives me a hard-on. Unlike me, I know she is innocent, and I feel honored to be the one to be gifted her virginity…if she doesn’t reject me.

“Goddess, I pray she doesn’t,” I murmured to myself.

“What was that, Lucas?” Drake asked me and I looked up to find Wayne and Drake both looking at me. Damn, I forgot I was in a meeting.

“Nothing. Sorry, boss, I am just distracted.” I explained.

“Does it have to do with a certain small blonde with big green eyes?” Wayne asked in a teasing tone.

“If you are talking about the most beautiful woman, then yeah,” I answered with a smirk.

“When do you plan on talking with Jane?” Drake asked me as he leaned back in his chair in his office where we were conducting a meeting.

“I am giving her time and space,” I said, crossing my right leg over my left.

“Or are you avoiding her, afraid she will reject your ass,” Wayne says with a smirk.

“Come on now. We have a business to finish here.” Drake said, leaning his elbows on his desk.

We stopped talking about my sad life and began talking about things pertaining to the pack.

After the meeting, I was out walking when I spotted the Luna and Jane out walking and chatting together. I hid behind a tree and watched them. Jane looked beautiful as always and the wind carried her scent my way. I closed my eyes and basked in her delicious scent. I could live with that tantalizing smell all day every day. I feel myself becoming hard with a need for my mate. The bond is only becoming stronger each day, and the more I am away from my mate, my wolf Spartis is becoming more agitated.

I have been staying away from other women as I refuse to hurt my mate. I only want my mate anyway. Watching her with her sister brings a smile to my face. She is so beautiful. I saw her frown and looked around.

“What is it, Jane?” I heard Lari ask.

“I don’t know. I feel as if I am being watched.” She looked at Lari, “Don’t you feel it?”

‘Lucas, I know it is you,’ I heard Lari’s voice in my head.

‘I just needed to see her.’ I answered her.

‘Jane needs more time. It was a traumatic thing to experience seeing your mate with another.’

I sigh, ‘You are right. I just wanted to see her. Now that I have, I will go,’ I said as I turned to head back to the packhouse.

“It was him, wasn’t it?” I heard Jane ask. I didn’t stay long enough to hear Lari’s answer. I just headed back.

I had almost reached the packhouse when I heard, “There you are, babe.”

Diana. I grunted and was not in the mood for this. “What do you want, Diana?”

She came over and placed her hand on my chest, “You should know what I want.” She said seductively, which sickened me. “Come on, let’s play and have some fun. I miss you, baby.”

“Diana, you know I have a mate now. And we were never a couple. It was only sex.” I said, taking her hand off my chest.

“Lucas, we were together two years. I think it constitutes us as being a couple. And besides, you are not with your mate. She doesn’t act like she wants you.”

I felt angry at her words, “Just. Shut. Up. You have no right to talk about my mate like that. After seeing us together, she only needs time, and I am giving her the time she needs. She has not rejected the bond, and neither will I. I happen to love Jane and I always will. So, we are through, Diana. No more sex from me. Go find someone else.” After my angry speech, I turned and walked back into the woods but this time in the other direction where I wouldn’t bump into Jane and Lari.
