Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 59

"Why? Are you scared I'm going to do it again?" He whispers, his head dipping down towards me. I swallow the lump in my throat harshly. His proximity made it feel like some had turned up the heat.

"No."

His hands release my wrist and move to grip my waist. The other moves up my shoulder and pushes my hair off of my neck. A shiver makes its way down my back as his thumb brushes over his mark.

"Good."

He places a kiss on the top of my forehead, his lips lingering for a moment before he takes a large step back and turns. I watch carefully as he walks up the stairs and disappears from sight.

I let out a shaky breath as I try to control my wolf. She was going more and more insane as the days passed. All she wanted to do was mate with Ajax and his wolf. In every sense of the word.

I brush my fingers through my hair in frustration. Sexual frustration. I pick up the book and place it on the coffee table near the monopoly game. I don't know how much longer our wolves could hold out. Normal mates would've mated by now, but Ajax and I are far from normal.

Siren and Sam return shortly. Siren was leaning up against Sam looking weak and tired.

"What's wrong?" I rush over to her and help her onto the couch.

"I think I've got some sort of stomach bug." She whines and turns onto her side and holds her stomach lightly. I try to recall anything that could've made her sick or anyone who could've given her this stomach bug, but nothing comes to mind.

"Okay, sit tight. Sam and I will make you some soup and tea." I caress her face lightly and push her hair out of her face. I go to make my way into the kitchen but her cold hand latches onto my wrist.

"Can you please grab that herbal plant that's growing just outside and put it in the tea please?" She asks looking up at me with her large puppy like eyes.

I wasn't sure of what plant she was talking about but I nodded my head and gave her a small smile. Samuel and I make our way out of the house and down the steps of the porch in search of this herbal plant.

"I wasn't even aware that plants like that grew near here." I say looking around trying to spot any type of plant that wasn't grass.

"Me either. It's weird what fresh eyes can pick up." Sam says as he kneels down to look at something.

"I guess so." I walk a little further along the house and find absolutely nothing. What the hell is Siren talking about? My eyes sweep the ground once more before coming to the conclusion that my best friend was hallucinating.
