PART 1 Chapter 11 — 02
I decided to take a nap seeing as I spent most of the night searching for my mate who decided he wanted to play hide and seek,but just two hours later, awoke from loud banging on the door.
I groaned and thrashed around my bed,"Someone get the door!"
No answer.
I decided to shout louder"
Mom! Dad! Get the door!"
I sighed and mumbled some muffled words before getting out of bed,wishing for the pounding on the door to stop.
Downstairs,I caught sight of a note hanging on the fridge.
‘Pack meeting! —mom and dad’ I threw the note in the garbage and opened the door,only to be met face to face with the one and only.
“Jared?"
But he didn't answer.
Instead,he shoved me in his arms and embraced me as hard as he could.
I began to choke,pounding on his back.
"Move!"
I choked out.
He let me go instantly,keeping his hands on my shoulders,"
Your alive!"
“No,I'm a ghost,"
I muttered sarcastically.
“How did you do it?"
he breathed out,letting himself in.
"Shifting?"
"Yeah your mom and dad were at the pack meeting and said that you shifted alone.’ "Yeah,well’ I mumbled,in war with myself as to telling him the truth.
I didn't want him to know that I was rejected by my own mate.
He'll pity me and provide me with an overwhelming amount of sympathy that I just didn't need at the moment.
"I just managed,"
I finally answered.
He didn't try to hide the shack forming on his face,"
Emmy,that's amazing."
I felt a tight smile forming on my face"
Thanks."
His gaze softened and he stared at me.
His eyes dug holes in my face,intoxicating me with their intense color.
All of the sudden,I felt dissipated.
The feelings from drama class returned,and I just wanted to feel at home again.
I wanted to be captured by his lips and locked in his embrace both physically and mentally.
I urged with the compassion to explore his body as he does the same to mine,letting out lust and love come together as one.
Despite everything that's happened,I still wished me and Jared could be together.
If I could,I'd change it so that he's my mate.
Jared's hands fell from my shoulder as he whispered,’ I'm so sorry"
l let my eyes fall,suddenly cold and soaking in misery.
