Rory POV

"What makes you ask such a thing?" Killian's brow furrows, taken aback.

Oh no have I guessed wrong? What if this offends him? Werewolves seem to care deeply about the mate bond so believing that I'd be worthy enough to be the mate of the king could be considered rude.

I have an inkling to press on my suspicions. I need to know for sure.

"Just something during the ceremony got me thinking" I shrug

"What?" He pushes

"When Sara found her mate... it felt similar... to when we met" as I go on I feel insecurity itching up my body now realising that I'm comparing our friendship to soulmates.

"When we met you did everything you could to get away from me" Killian smirks

Although true that I was physically trying to escape the town so that my sister wouldn't get into trouble by the bad 'landlord' at the time, Killian has no idea that with every fibre in my being I wanted to stay behind and get to know the intriguing man.

"You said 'mine'" I boldly state

"When?" The smirk drops off Killian's face and he places his hands in his pockets.

"When we met" I reiterate.

"You heard that?" He looks to the floor

"What did you mean by it?" I ignore his question and shoot him my own. Killian stands dead still as though the universe is playing a sick joke pausing time and running off to get snacks as though this was a twisted reality show. "Killian what did you mean by it" I grit out my teeth annoyed he's trying to think of an excuse.

"I didn't mean anything by it, it doesn't matter" he looks up at me. He's being dishonest I can feel it in my gut

"The night you told me about the existence of werewolves you said you would never lie to me, never" I ball my hands into fists by my sides. Trust is a big deal to me so if there's a chance he's lying I'll be madder than the hatter from Alice in wonderland.

Killian exhales a sigh and drops his head he then raises it while inhaling deeply and stares directly into my eyes.

"I didn't-" Killian begins to explain but I cut him off

"Is it true?" I need a straight answer.

"It's not that-"

"Am I your mate?" I don't need the bullshit excuses.

"Rory just listen to me" he tries again taking a step closer to him

"Killian!" I yell

"Yes!" He yells back at me frustrated, he turns his back to me and runs his hands over his face before spinning back around and pacing back in my direction. "Yes your my mate" he sighs

I can physically feel my heart flutter the small ripple in the muscle causing a break right down the middle.

"Oh my god" I whisper
