We are sat around the booth, Manuel is totally engrossed with his mate and I couldn’t have been happier for him… Lilah was telling me how nervous he was… quite sweet really…. He deserves to be happy… Indie and Dan are up on the dance floor. Indie has got him whipped… he never used to dance…. But again, I’m glad he’s happy… Lilah is snuggled up by my side…. My vision of perfection…“You ok Sweet?” I ask her as she looks worried about something. “Yeah worried about Gabe… you think something was wrong?” She pouts. I want to kiss her when she does that….“I’m sure he’s ok… though he’s not answering his mindlink” Jake says from the other side of Lilah in the booth. Hmmm that seems odd….“Manny…” As much as I wanted to give him privacy, I have to interrupt him.He looks away from chatting to his new mate with a smile. “Yeah” “Was Gabe answering you?” I ask. “He did to start with, but said to leave him to it so I did. Said she’s his mate and they needed to talk…” he says.Wait…. Esme i
I got back to Gabe’s home, and wow, he has his own lakeside home…. Who exactly is my mate?! I had text my Mami on the way home from the club to let her know my news. Thinking she would be super excited for me! I could have everything I had ever wanted, the career and not to have the constrained, underprivileged lifestyle our pack expected the women there to have. Plus, I had the sweetest, most handsome mate….. he was definitely one hot mother fucker! The moon goddess did me good! And to have him nearby to university meant I could complete my course and hopefully stay with him. I can’t believe Lola has her mate here too. That means I will have my cousin and best friend with me too. She deserves some freedom and happiness too. I just hope her mate was patient and understanding. Coming from our pack messed with your head and Lola wasn’t as strong as me……----------------------Esmerelda No, you do not mark him, nor does he mark you. This is not happening. You know this is not the
Oh wow, I cannot believe I have found my mate….. Esmerelda…. Esme….. A quirky, fiery ball of petite, curvy, latina, perfectness….. and she was mine….. The moon goddess may have made me wait to find her, but she had certainly blessed me with her. Ok, she may have a fiery personality that will keep me on my toes, but I think that is a perfect match for my personality, so it will keep life interesting…… All the drive home seemed to have taken forever! I just wanted to get back and get her to myself, and I can imagine Manuel was the same with Lola. I cannot believe his mate is the cousin of my mate. How perfect was that? Not just that, but seeing how happy he was made me happy too, he deserved that happiness. I love to wind him up, but he had been my closest friend since we were tiny and has always been there for me. He is a sensitive soul and while I like to tease him for it, I hate seeing him hurt, so knowing he finally has the mate the moon goddess intended for him, an
I stand in shock at the sight of the empty bathroom, the open window signalling to me she has bolted. Clearly, she had second thoughts. She could have at least had the decency to fucking reject me before upping and leaving….. my pain is turning to anger now…… yet I feel tears behind my eyes. How can I want to cry over a girl I don’t even know?! I have built myself up to this point, waiting for a girl that I have been meant to love, to want, like nobody else on the planet, I am meant to worship, idolise and care for like she is the most precious gem in the universe. I have waited, like I was expected to, been so patient, despite it hurting, despite being so lonely, despite my wolf pining for her. And like everyone describes to you, the moment you meet them, and realise they are your mate, the connection is instant, your wolf begins to crave them, you feel the most urgent need and want for them like nothing else you have ever felt once you have felt their touch. As soon as you know
I had just got out of the shower with Lilah having made the most of an empty house, when I heard a loud howl. That sounded near to our house. That seemed odd, I quickly walked to our bedroom balcony, overlooking the back of our house, a towel wrapped around my waist, and Lilah followed in a towel. I saw what looked to be a wolf running toward the forest. That would make sense, given the noise, but wait…. That looked like Aspen, Gabe’s wolf…….. “That’s Aspen” Lilah whispers, she had already reached my side, and was looking where I was. “Something doesn’t add up, he should be with Esme, not shifting into his wolf and running off into the forest” I say. “Link him, tell him to come back, Knox. If something happened he should not be alone. What if she rejected him when they were alone” Lilah says. A feeling of fury rages through me. Would she have done that?! She had run on him when they initially met, had she been too embarrassed to reject him with us all there, and the fact
I had run for a while, chasing some small prey, taking out mine and Aspen’s frustration on the small animals we found in the forest. But I struggled to focus and wasn’t doing brilliantly. My mind and Aspen’s kept focusing back on Esme, on our apparent mate, the mate that didn’t want us, the mate that had run from us. Knox and Lilah had mindlinked us numerous times. Aspen howling when he shifted must have disturbed them, so they knew something was wrong as they had seen me shift and go for a run. So they knew I wasn’t in my house making sweet love to my new fucking mate the way I should be. How fucking twisted fate ended up being. I had clearly messed up in a past life to end up being punished like this. I had ignored their links, continuing to run, pushing myself to the point it hurt, needing to feel the pain, then when Knox had mentioned Manuel I knew I had to go back. What if all this shit does affect him? I fucking hope the actions of Esme do not affect the relationship
To finally get Lola back to my home, well, what would be our home now, was heaven. I still cannot believe my mate is finally here after waiting so long. Seeing her with my friends earlier had felt so amazing, she had fitted in so well, laughing and joking with us like she had known them all her life, this is what I had dreamt of and for it to have happened showed the Moon Goddess knew what she was doing. I am not one for dancing, but when Lola asked me to join in with them dancing with the girls, I was not going to turn my mate down, and having her body pushed against mine had felt so good. I know to look at, the height difference must look amusing for those looking in, but she is cute, and I love how she looks. She clearly isn’t as confident as Gabe’s new mate, but then I am not as confident as Gabe, so in that regard, we are the perfect match. We can work on all of that together. Though right now, the fact we are finally on our own, I am a massive bag of nerves! I have never b
Awww Manuel is the sweetest. I can see he is anxious, nervous to have me here. Lilah had told me he was not very confident around women, plus Gabe had teased about me being gentle with him. Yet I look at him, he is big, tall and a muscly, strong warrior, handsome and covered in tattoos, I seriously do not understand why he would not be confident, he is gorgeous. I imagine he has had she-wolves queuing up for him, yet the moon goddess had decided he would be mine. I find his uncertainty and nerves quite endearing to be honest… Trying to kiss him to reassure him is difficult when he is a fricking giant! I aimed for his cheek and pretty much got his chin! But it meant he lifted me up. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and do what I had seen Esme do earlier and wrap my legs around his waist to allow us to kiss properly and, wow, had I been rewarded for being brave! The kiss was amazing! See he may be nervous, but I am just as nervous…. I do not have much experience around m
