She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 52

"Why? She's not interested in you." I grabbed Zane's arm and pulled him towards me.

"You're right. I'm not. I'm only interested in you, you are my boyfriend right?" I felt stupid for asking this because even though during out little moment when he said we were together, we had never actually put a label on it and honestly it was bugging me crap out of me. Zane grinned.

"Yes. And you're my girlfriend." I smiled and pecked his cheek. "Mine." He emphasized and looked towards Everett.

"Dude, I have my own mate. No offense Devina, but I'm not interested in you like that." I laughed and made Zane look at me.

"Now you're going to be late. Just go I'll be fine." I assured him. Zane hesitantly took a step back and looked from Everett to me. I motioned towards his car, telling him to go with my eyes.

"I'm going to take my Audi in the garage. If you need to, take the GT-R. Okay?" I rolled my eyes but nodded. He walked forward with his arms opened and I giggled. He pecked my lips and jogged towards the garage. I pulled Everett inside before Zane could change his mind and sat down on the couch, making sure Everett sat far away.

"Why are you here Everett?" I finally spoke. He crossed his legs and rested his arms on the back of the couch.

"Can't I just say hello to my enemies girlfriend?" I sent him a glare.

"That's not what people usually do." I pointed out. He chuckled.

"Yeah, you're right." He nodded and looked away. I narrowed my eyes and laughed.

"You want girl advice!" His eyes snapped towards mine and he jerked forward.

"What? No way!" I giggled and leaned forward too, "Fine!" He whispered yelled, maybe a little paranoid about werewolf super hearing. Which made me think.

"He needed..." I searched for the right words then decided to just use the same ones Everett did. Stick to the story. "Help with something." Zane flinched again.

"Yeah well so do I. Come on Jonah." He turned towards the door making my heart race.

"Zane please don't leave-" He turned around and dryly laughed. He opened his mouth to say something, but then decided against it and hurried out the door, slamming it behind him and Jonah. As soon as I heard his car zoomed away, I fell to my knees and that's where I stayed for the next few hours. When I finally snapped out of it, it was nearly five in the morning. I forced myself not to cry as I grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch and walked to the backyard. I laid down on the patio couch and drifted off to sleep.

~Zane's POV~

I forced information out of Everett and felt terrible afterward. He was asking Devina for advice about his mate. I jumped in the car and hurried back home to my girl. On the way back, I dropped Jonah off so it was just me when I finally got home. Inside, I didn't hear her. I scanned the living room and when she wasn't there I started to worry. Next, I checked in my room but still no luck. I rushed to her room but she wasn't here either. I ran my fingers through my hair.
