Loving My Mate

Chapter 8

This chapter is dedicated to @ZheaStylik and @JustPassing_By- for your amazing comments. Thank you so much guys. Love ya!

Harry's POV:

After swimming for a little bit, we just relax in the shallow water. We sit and let the clear water run over our bodies, the water reaching up to our chest.

Relaxing like this with your mate is the best, just enjoying each other's company without having the need to have a conversation. I can get used to this.

"I love this." I say with a sigh, my voice still a bit croaky from not using it.

"I love you...I know this is too early to say it and I know that I just met you, but you are my life now and I wouldn't want it any other way." Zayn speaks, with love clear in his voice.

Seeing my hesitance, he quickly says, "You don't have to say it back, I just wanted you to know."

I nod and rest my head on his shoulder, watching the slight rippling of the water.

Soon the sun starts to go down, and we just sit there and admire it. This reminds me of when I first came to the clearing and sun was setting, the beautiful colors creating an ombré effect.

It's so similar, yet so different. This time, I'm safe. I'm with someone who loves me and will protect me, someone who cares for me. I've never had this before and in a few days =, my whole life has changed. For the first time in my life, I was feeling happy.

Once the sun had gone down completely, Zayn and I get out of the water and I wear my clothes again.

Holding Zayn's hand, we hurry back to get out of the cold air, which feels colder with our wet clothes.

Once we're back in, Zayn informs me, "I have to go see my dad in his office, I'll be come back soon."

I nod my head, leaning up to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. I pull back, blushing profusely and walk off to the bathroom.

I decide to take a nice warm shower, so I grab a new set of clothes and get in the shower.

After getting in, I revel in the feeling of the warm water. It's so much better than the lake water. I wash my hair using Zayn's vanilla scented shampoo and use the same scented body wash and then hop out of the shower. Getting dressed, I go back into the room. I pout when I see that Zayn isn't back yet.

I wonder what Zayn's dad wanted to talk to him about...

Zayn's POV:

"Hi dad." I say with a serious tone, knowing that what he has to say is important if he mind linked me when I was on a date.

"Please sit down, Zayn. We have something important to talk about." My mom says, also with a serious tone. She rarely uses a serious tone when talking to me, which means she is in her Alpha mode.

Dad starts talking, "We contacted the Night Howlers pack, and they confirmed the story. We informed them that the responsible parties must be punished and they decided to rebel."

"What does that mean? What's going to happen?" I ask, confused. Why are they rebelling when the way we rule is fair?

"This means that they are starting a war."
