Semua Bab My Shadow Mate: Bab 31 - Bab 38

“I’m gonna shower,” Richfield says when we get to the house. “I stink.”“Agreed.” I say with a smirk as he helps me off Remy.“I’ll heat up some of the leftovers from last night and go shower too, but I think I’ll go out today, some fresh air would do me good.”“Are you hanging out with King, then?”“No, I don’t intend to, but if he comes around, I’m not gonna kick him away.”“I see.” He nods. He looks thoughtful though.“I’ll go with Remy.”“Yeah, do that. I don’t want you to be alone for some time. After what happened, I won’t put it past any one to try to hurt you as retribution, it could be anyone.” He voices his concerns, and I realize that he’s right. Just because King and Luna Daisy aren’t out for my blood, doesn’t mean no one else will try to come for me.They may think I’m alone and try to come for me, pull a fast move, but none of them know or understand the true extent of Rome’s powers, or they wouldn’t even dare.“I understand, and I will, but you should know that I’m safe

“Remus?” I ask.It doesn’t make a move, and I find myself feeling unsure in its presence.“Remus, is that you?” It stands to its impressive seven-foot-something height and comes closer. I’m well aware that I should be running for the hills, screaming all the way, but I feel safe in its presence, so I stay seated, even though I try to stay alert, just in case.It stands right in front of me and Remy now, then reaches out its hands, gently cups my face, and strokes its thumb over my cheek with so much adoration that my eyes flutter shut and a small sigh escapes my lips. I open my eyes and look into his shadowlike features.“Remus.” I say with more surety this time.He nods.Remus can’t talk to me the way Remy can, but somehow, I’m always able to understand him. Rome told me that after our bond was completed, I’d be able to hear Remus just like he can. However, my bond won’t be completed for years, so it would take years for me to finally hear Remus. The realization that my bonding with R

“Rome, what the hell?!” I whisper yell, “My dad kicked you out, what are you doing sitting on my bed.”“I came to see you, he didn’t let me, so I had to come in another way.” I facepalm, he can’t be serious.“The point of kicking you out was so that you’ll stay out, not sneak in and stay in my room, what if he came in with me?” he shrugs.“Then maybe he’ll beat the shit out of me if he wanted.” I sigh.“Did you go get Remus?”“Thought you didn’t care about him.”“I care about him, and you know that, he does too.”“Really? Because he seems to think that you’ve rejected him.”“Why on earth will I do that?”“You’re upset, you can easily do it and blame it on your mood.”“No, this has nothing to do with my mood, and I’m not blaming anything on anything. If I reject him, it’s because he deserves it, not because I’m upset.”“River, what exactly is the problem now, because I’m not sure what it is, and you didn’t tell him when he asked, in fact, you lied, run away, and left him there when he

“You know.” Luna Daisy says casually as we walk to my place.“Even though I’m good with knives, there’s someone else who’s really good, someone I learnt from.King makes a face at her words.“Really, who?” I ask.“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” King says.“What’s not a good idea?” Luna Daisy passes him a “Don’t say another word”, look, and he clamps his mouth shut…but not for long, because before she can respond,“Ansel’s mom, Amelia.” King says.Amelia, as in the one who does not like me or my mate?I start shaking my head no before the words fly out of my mouth. “No, absolutely not!”“Come on, Mars. She’s really good.” Luna Daisy tries.“Yeah, but she also really doesn’t like me.” I fire back.“She’s teaching you how to use weapons, it has nothing to do with whether you like each other or not?”“Well, she could also teach me how to take weapons into my body.” I mumble, but with our enhanced hearing, I might have well have screamed it. King snickers.“She’s got a point, you know.
