I'm the Alpha's Mate

Chapter 21

"Why are you so nervous?" Ryujin chuckles at me as she pulls into Yeonjun and Mina's driveway.

I've never really had a best friend unless you count my wolf or the moon goddess.

When I was younger I had a good friend, her name was Chaeryeong. We would go to the park together and talk about cute boys in our pack, wishing they would be our mates.

But when I left my pack so did our friendship. I haven't talked to her since. So if I'm nervous about anything, it would be trying to impress Mina.

"Hey before I go in, can we talk?" I look up at her with hopeful eyes. Ryujin cut the engine. "Sure."

What should I say first, do you believe me? Do you think I'm crazy? There's no rule book on how to read someone's mind to tell if they believe you or not. If there was I would be at the bookstore paying for it right now.

"Just ask her, it's not like she's going to reject us. I mean she didn't show any sign of it so far." Lucy assures me.

"You're right, I shouldn't worry she's my mate," I answered.

"Are you okay?" Ryujin places her hand on my thigh and I immediately come back to reality. My leg tensed up under her sudden touch. My cheeks flushed pink and I made I weird squeal noise under my breath. She's touching my thigh.

"Yeji, are you okay?" She says more seriously.

Quickly I suck in a breath and nod my head. "Yes, yes I'm fine."

"Okay, so what did you want to talk about?" She lightly smiles and watches me with adoration. "Oh about what I told you yesterday, you know how I spoke-"

"I remember." Ryujin cuts in and caresses my hurt cheek with the hand that was resting on my thigh. Why is she showing so much affection? She's acting like this is the last time I'll ever see her.

"What's happening?" I move away from her hand and peer up at her confused.

"Nothing we'll talk later, Mina is waiting for you." Ryujin ends our conversation that barely started. So I stepped out of her car completely confused and slowly strolled up to the front door. What just happened?

My finger poked the doorbell and I could hear the chime ring in the house. I stood waiting only for a couple of seconds before Yeonjun swung the door open.

"Hey Yeji, Mina is just grabbing her purse or something." Yeonjun briefly informs me and opened the door wider to let me in.

I glanced back at Ryujin who was now pulling back out of the driveway and smiling at me. Then she was gone down the street. So I peered back to Ryujin and hesitantly entered the house.

The inside was well decorated with many pastel colors and decorations. Yeonjun definitely lets Mina make all the interior design choices because this house looks like a staged room at IKEA.

Suddenly the sound of heavy footsteps averted my gaze to the hallway. As I guessed, a girl about my age came rushing into the room with a jacket in her arms and her purse dangling on her shoulder.

"Yeji, hi!" She smiled and slipped the light jacket through her arms and over her shoulders. "It's so nice to finally meet you, oh my god you are so pretty!" She seems kinda rushed.

"Oh, thanks, that's so kind." Kind? Really Yeji what are you, a grandmother?

"Okay let's go so we can get to know each other and I can tell you about the funny fails Yeonjun makes." She jokes and opens the front door.
