She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 6

"I do have to. I can't just drop out of school and live with a bunch of cult followers." I tightened my grip on the steering wheel and held my breath. She really has no clue what's going on. "And a cult leader." She added.

"I'm not leading a cult, Devina."

"Then what the heck is going on? You and your "followers" live out in the middle of nowhere so that other people can't see what's going on, everyone who lives there calls you Alpha like you're some kind of wolf pack leader thing and you called me your mate. You don't sound Australian to me." I smiled at her rant and turned down the heat. She got some of that right. I want to explain everything to Devina. That's the only thing I want right now but why would I do that? I need to reject her and let her go before someone gets hurt. "And plus, I need to get home to see my fish." Right. I forgot about that. The way she talks about him makes me jealous. A fish is making me jealous. I shook my head at my own stupidity and softly chuckled. "Stop laughing at me!" She punched my arm which felt like a little tap. It made me a little nervous to think about her having to fight someone, she'd definitely lose.

"You need to work on your punches Dev." I shot her a sly smirk at the nickname.

"Dev?" She asked.

"Yeah, Dev like Devina but shorter. It's cute." She furrowed her brows and shrugged. She likes it.

"Alright, Zanie." I slammed on the brakes and glared at her.

"No," I growled, that's what Gwen calls me. I shivered at the thought of being with her right now.

"Sorry." She softly replied and looked out the front windshield. I sighed and continued driving down the road.
