She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 65

"Later, yes." She nodded and looked away. "I want a family with you. But not now. I can't stand the thought of you being in so much pain because of me. I'm sorry I scared you." She put the test down and fumbled into my arms.

"I told you I wasn't pregnant. I'm on my period." We both laughed for a few moments.

"I just wanted to be sure." She nodded and stood on her tippy toes, kissing my cheek.

"If I were, we would keep it." She softly spoke making me grin.

"Really?" I sounded like a little kid being told by his parents that the stray dog they found can be apart of their family forever. She giggled and nodded.

"I don't think I would be able to forgive myself for killing it or just giving it up without trying." I picked her up and spun her around.

"I love you. So much." I crashed my lips onto hers and faintly heard her mumble it back. "Spaghetti?" I pulled back a little and she smacked my arm.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm on my period!" I strung out and ohhhhh. Then laughed.

"I don't really care...." I trailed off.

"You're disgusting. Just wait a few more days. Can you do that?" I frowned then nodded.

"You know, you can't get pregnant on your period. Right?" She thought about this then her face turned red.

"She's not my mate Devina. You are." She pulled out of my grasp and stepped back.

"Then explain everything to me. Don't you think I deserve that much?" My eyes fluttered close as I took a deep breath.

"You deserve everything Devina. Everything good in life. That's why I don't want you to know about this." She shook her head and walked towards the bathroom door, but before leaving she turned around.

"You can't protect me from everything Zane. It's impossible and inevitable." She opened the door and was about to walk out but I stopped her.

"I know. God, you don't know how much I know that. I wish it wasn't true. I wish I could protect you. That's my biggest wish in life." She pleaded me with her crystal blue eyes. "I was only sixteen. So was she. The first time I saw her, I didn't really feel anything. Not like when I first saw you. She wasn't a werewolf either. She was a witch. Not a very powerful one, but she knew how to do some cool things. Once we started talking and hanging out, I realized she was my mate. All of a sudden I felt so close to her. Like I could share everything with her. We spent every second of every hour together. Talked about the future and shit like that. Then she just left. She told me that she wanted to see the world. That she didn't want to be with me anymore. This was all before I was the alpha, I used to just be a rouge. Everyone was, I was the first to start a pack. But that was later. Anyways, she said she didn't want someone with no purpose in life. So she rejected me. I wasn't supposed to survive after that but here I am today." I threw my arms up in the air and faked a smile before continuing. "Then I started my own pack and because I survived my mate rejecting me, people feared me. After fifty years, The Crescent Moon pack was the strongest pack in America. Then after a hundred, it was the number one most feared pack." This was all true. I was the first alpha ever. Automatically, people pretty much bowed down to me. The only emotion I saw in their eyes was fear. People outside of my pack received no mercy. Before Devina, that mercy wasn't common inside of the pack either. "So I guess, in the end, it all worked out. Without any of that happening, I probably wouldn't have met you. And damn, I am so glad I met you Sunshine." She just stood there, completely shocked. "That was a while ago though," I added, trying to get her to say something.
