I ran out of the doorway and into a hard chest. Cliff's. He held onto me and pulled me away from the scene. Why did I do that? I found myself thinking. Cause' you're
stupid, that's why. My wolf shouted at me, not so much hurt, just angry. I nodded, knowing she was right. "I'm sorry you had to see that, Kat." Ciff rubbed my armsand hugged me tightly. "He's such a little liar." I spat with a clentched jaw. " Little liar?" Cliff laughed like I was retarded. "Okay, big liar. I talked to him earlier, he toldme he would try and fix his mistakes, that he really cared, he promised that he could do better, and that he just wanted time to prove it. He lied." I spat, no longer heartbroken, just wanting to kill him. "Why did you trust him, Kat? Why did you believe him. Oh, babe." He said and pulled me to him tighter, dragging me into his room. "Idon't know! I thought that he had changed, but nothing had changed. He's still an ass." I grolwed."Yeah no kidding.With that I turned back around, dragging Cliff with me as I walked away from my mate. All I could think about was that, you can get rejected, but once youaccept it, it becomes half-way official. I rushed down stairs, or I was, till Cliff yanked me back. "Kat, you're leaving frost bite on my damn skin." he told me andripped his wrist away rubbing it. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I told him and pulled him in for a hug. "I was just angry." I told him and he sighed in relief when I made his wrist ache disappear. "No, I know. I'm sorry too." He said and pecked my forehead. "I am so proud of you, Kat. The way you stood up to him, it was realy brave of you toreject him." He told me in awe."Then why do I feel so crappy?" I muttered, tears escaping my eyes. He wiped them. "Because you kinda.. sorta.. just lost your mate."He said and pushed the hair out of my eyes. I nodded. "It was by choice. He told me writing it wasn't official, I gave him official. Maybe now I'll
We arrived at the real estate office in a little over and hour. We stopped at McDonalds to grab something to eat on the way, and were now waiting in the lobby to talk tosomeone about buying the lodge. A lady in slick black clothing, looking very professional came out to greet us. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Hern. I heared you want to buy one ofour largest owns?" She asked shaking Elijah's hand. "Yes, I'm Elijah, and this is my wife Katerina." He told her and I blushed. Would I ever really be his wi- Stop thinkingthat ahead, I scolded myself. He's only saying that to be professional. I shook my mind free of thoughts and smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet you, ma'm." I told her andshook her hand as well. "Now, let's talk buisness." she said and led us to her office."So. The Great Wolf Lodge Indoor Waterpark? Alright, let's see." She said and started typing away on her computer.Elijah and I walked out of Mrs. Hern's office grinning wide at the rest of our friends.
"I'm sorry what now?" Cliff asked. "Oh I knew you'd figure it out, baby." Elijah told me and pulled me in for a long kiss. Wait what? "I'm so confused." I told him tearsrunning down my face. "Hey, don't cry. Please. And don't reject me, I'm begging, Kat." He now had tears running down his cheeks. Reject? What? "No, hell no, Iwould never reject you! Are you crazy?" I told him gasping with wide eyes. "But I do want to know how this is possible, I thought... I thought I was mated to Kol." Iasked. "And what about your mate? How am I your mate?" I asked as well. "I'll explain, just calm down and breathe for a second, babe." He told me and pulled meinto his lap. "Okay, I'm calm. Now explain." I demanded, but the moment I did, I felt the pang of regret. "Don't treat him like that!" My wolf yelled at me. Sorry.. I told herin my head. "About two years ago I found my mate. She had had a boyfriend at the time, and rejected me. I had no choice, I had to accept the
"Are you serious?" I asked him shocked. "Yeah. We basically get the same experience again, only this time, were not potentials. You're really mine, and I'mreally yours." He told me and rubbed my arms up and down. I laughed. "What's so funny?" He asked. "Silly, silly, Elijah." I shoke my head. "I've always been yours Elijah.Really, truly, yours." I smiled at him. "Well, I guess now it's official." he grinned. I laughed again. "Always." I assured in a goofy tone. "Oh shut up and kiss me." Hetold me and rolled his eyes. I stuck my tongue out and he bit it. I gasped and smacked him playfully. "Watch it alpha. I can beat you to a pulp." I threatened. Helaughed. "Bring it." he challenged. I looked back and smirked at Rebekah. She winked and I waggled my winger around in a circle. I watched as Elijah's hair frozeover into spikes. Sort of like Jack Frost from those Santa Claus movies with Tim Allen. I couldn't wait for christmas, it was going to be amazing, I f
"Hey, I'm sorry I left." Stark told me bringing my gaze back to him. "Why did you do it? How could you leave?" I asked, my voice level rising. Where was Elijah? Oh yeah, Ileft him. Why did I do that? God, I was so stupid! And Rebekah, and Cliff and Joel!Ugh, I want my friends. I want my baby. I miss his touch. My mate. I frowned trying to calm myself down. "I found my mate, back then..." he told me slowly. Stark hadleft the week after my parents died. He's always been older than me and my brother.Me by three years, Ace by one. He was seventeen, huh he must have found his mate early. I nodded for him to continue. "A little after your parents died, so didCarly, my mate. My mom and dad noticed how torn up I was, so they made us move. I was broken, Kat. I didn't bother trying to stay, but I'm fine now." He told meand I felt bad. He lost his mate? I frowned deeper. "It's been two years, Stark." I whispered to him, my voice dropping.Kol just stood
Kol's P.O.VI didn't even understand why I sent Katerina off with that guy Stark. But I could tell she missed him, she needed him, and I'd do anything to make her happy again,whether she accepted my recjetion or not. I frowned thinking about it. I needed her.I missed her. I wanted her. I shoke my head feelings regret deep in my stomach.They new eachother, long before I'd even met her. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to take that, but surprisingly, I did it very well. I was trying, trying to show Kat that I could keep my promise and make things better. I was giving her space, to be with other guys, to have a life. Showing her she has freedom, that I love her, and that I want her to be happy and that's all. I smiled, imagining her beautiful red hair drifting around in the wind as she spun in circles with our little pups around her ankles. It was a low blow sleeping with Melonie. I know what I promised Kat, and Iknow tha
Katerina's P.O.VI left Ace and Stark to catch up in my room as I waited in the living room for Elijah to get back. I had a brief conversation with Kol when I saw him upstairs, and Iactually liked talking to him. I was never going to forgive him for rejecting me, all I ever wanted from him was acceptance, and now that I no longer felt the pull of him,I was happy just to try friendship out with him. We talked for maybe an hour or so, random things, all positive, no meanness. It was relaxing, and it didn't bother methat we were sort of past the hating stage, and more just in the strongly dislike. I felt him getting close and closer, my mate, so I thought I should... beg for forgiveness? Nah. Play another perfect trick on my beautiful mate? Hell yes. I smiled inwardly and I thought over what I was going to do. He did it to me once, so I figured.. hey, what the heck? Let's do it back to him. Just more extreme. Now I had a blush on my cheeks.
My panting was worse than his I think, he just.. gave off this sent that made me want to strip him int eh room right there. I felt my own area throb as I startedrubbing at him slower and harder, hearing him breathe and moan quietly into my ear making no move for me to stop. "Babe, keep going. Faster." he growled to me. So Iobeyed. Ripping and rubbing away at him fast and hard, gripping tightly. Some how the fact that anyone could catch us was just a bigger turn on. I wanted him. No,scrap that, I needed him. I looked around, no-one was even paying attention. Well, Cliff had an odd look on his face, but other than that he turned back towards Kol. Isqueezed the bottom of his length, and continued squeezing tightly all the way up his length dangerously.He was mawing on my shoulder, and I felt him push himself into my hand. I loved that I could effect him like this. I was getting wet thinking about how open thiswas. He pushed deeper, and I went fast, g
