She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 13

"I'll just change back into my old clothes." He nodded but stayed in the same position.

"Can I..?" He held his arms open and I practically ran into them. "God I'm so sorry Devina. I'll never lose control again." I nodded my head and laid my head against his chest. I wrapped my arms around his waist and we stayed like that for a few minutes. "Do you forgive me?" I wasn't quite ready for that yet so I just shrugged.

"I'm sorry. I just I- you really scared me back there. It didn't seem like you anymore." I honestly replied.

"It was me. No one else. Just me. I swear I didn't mean to hurt you." I nodded my head but stayed quiet. "Let's go get your stuff shall we?" I nodded my head and chuckled.

"Wait, what about my mom?" I pulled away from Zane's chest and grabbed my clothes.

"You don't have to worry about her anymore." Zane picked up his shirt and put it on. "She's in the jail down in our pack territory."

"Okay. But I need to um-" I motioned to my clothes and Zane's green orbs widened. He nodded and turned around. "Really? Just leave the room!" I whined and he shook his head.

"I'm not leaving you alone again." He shortly replied and I quickly slid my jeans on. Just as I peeled my-or Mika's- shirt off, Zane turned around. "Are you done-" He looked down at my chest and for once in my life, I was thankful that I was wearing a bra. I quickly looked around for my shirt but couldn't find it. Great. I froze in place with Mika's shirt in my hand. "I- um, I thought you were done." He stuttered but didn't turn back around, his eyes were too busy roaming over my body. He was probably disgusted. I frantically looked around, I would be thankful for anything to cover me up right now.

"I don't know where my sweatshirt is." My face flushed.

"I'll help you look." We locked eyes and he smiled walking closer to me. My heart started racing as he got closer and closer. "Where did you see it last?" He asked as soon as he was just a few inches away from me.

"I-I um I'm n-not sure?" I tried to form a normal sentence but I couldn't with him standing this close to me while being half naked.

"Do I make you nervous?" I bit my lip and shook my head.

"No." He chuckled and looked down at my lips.

~Zane's POV~

I followed Devina outside and to my new car. The way she reacted when I saw her half naked made me believe that she didn't want me to see her like that at all. She stopped walking as she realized what kind of car it is. An Audi R8. In blue. She scoffed and stomped over to me.

"You think you can just buy me!?" She yelled and pushed at my chest. "Huh!?" Her sudden mood changes were really giving me whiplash. One minute we were laughing and smiling and the next she's yelling.

"What's your problem!?" I matched her voice and sprawled my arms up before dropping them back at my sides.

"What's my problem? My problem is that just a few days ago you showed up in my life and changed everything. My problem is that you act like a possessive boyfriend. My problem is that my mom just tried to kill me and I have to go back there." She stopped pushing me and I could tell she was fighting back her tears. I never once stopped to think about how all this might be affecting her. "I'm so confused Zane. My head is all fogged up," She pulled at her hair but I held her hands to stop her from hurting herself. "I don't know what to think anymore." Then I pulled her into my chest and rested my chin on her head.

"I know. Shh. She's never going to hurt you again. No one's ever going to hurt you. I can't imagine how hard and confusing everything must be for you but I do know that you're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I will do anything to make you feel better." I felt her smile against my chest and she pulled away.
