She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 37

"Everywhere." I raised my eyebrows and he chucked. "I traveled the world. Name a city or country and I bet I've been there." I thought about this and smirked.

"Forks." He rolls his eyes and nodded.

"Too many vampire-themed things there." He scrunched up his face and fake barfed.

"Stop that!" I playfully slapped his arm which he grabbed and poured, trying to act like it hurt. "I love Twilight!" He chuckled and genuinely smiled.

"Maybe I can take you there sometime?" Before I could respond, the front door barged open revealing an angry Zane with one of my bags in his hand.

"Trying to make a move on my mate? That's shallow. This isn't a kiddie pool Dylan." He scoffed and tossed me the bag. "I swear if he tries anything I will kill him." He looked me in the eyes but I glanced away. "I'm going to be checking on you whenever I want, so try to stay clothed." I whipped around and flinched.

"Oh that's right, you're only used to easy girls. News flash Zane, I'm not like you. I don't just sleep around with random people." His nostrils flared with anger. I've seen the way girls have looked at him around here like they wanted seconds but unfortunately for them, I know Zane's type. He doesn't dish out seconds.

"What did you want me to do? Wait for you?"

"That's what I did. But it's fine, right? Because you're a guy? And if you sleep around you're considered cool and manly but if I, I'm a whore because I'm a girl?" This time I was the one overfilling with anger. These double standards are really starting to tip my lid.

"One second I'm almost ready!" I finished pulling my grey hoodie over my head and fixed my hair in the mirror. Today was Monday, three days since I found out Zane was lying to me. Three days since we last kissed. I closed my eyes as a tear escaped, careful not to mess up my makeup I touched it up a little and made my way downstairs. Today was also my first day of school, well of this new school. Dylan informed me that it's almost an all wolf school and the people who aren't wolves, know about them. To say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I was terrified. Zane kept his promise, he checked up on me whenever he wanted. Which in these last three days, was only once, to inform me about how he signed me up for school. Also to tell me that people will treat me differently because I'm the soon-to-be Luna. I had dryly laughed in his face and told him I wasn't going to be a Luna anytime soon. This just made him even more angry with me and he stomped away yelling for me to have fun at school and with all the jerks. I yelled back that he wasn't going to this school so I didn't have to worry about it. Obviously, this made him even more mad. He hasn't talked to me since. I don't blame him. I don't even want to talk to me.

"Ready?" A girl named Gillie asked and I nodded, we met on Saturday while I was walking through the neighborhood. Just like with Mika, we bonded over Twilight. Unfortunately, she's team Jacob, but I guess that makes sense because she's a wolf and so is her mate, Henry -who was also here with us. Gillie insisted that she be my tour guide and I happily obliged. "Yay! I actually have a friend here now!" She jumped up and down and squealed.

Her mate, Henry pouted. "What about me?" She giggled and peppered kisses all over his face.

"You're my mate, you're more than my friend baby!" She finally pecked him on the lips and I had to look away. Not because PDA grossed me out, in fact usually it made me happy to see other happy couples but this time I couldn't help but feel jealous, I didn't have that with Zane. Not anymore. Did I ever really have that with him though? Or was it all just temporary? I was snapped out of my thoughts when Mika patted my back.
