Chapter 12:Affections

Jerome

Knowing that my mate peeked in on me while I was asleep, I couldn't help but be confused. I didn't know what to do. I felt my powers being drained from my body. I felt the need to know what she really wanted, but I knew that whatever I asked of her would make her angry, and moreover, I knew her intentions were now known to me.

She wanted to accept me before, but I didn't want to accept her back because I'm in love with someone else and I'm engaged to the person already.

I knew I had to say I think that she is Mabel and that was because I was out of choice, but I knew there was nothing to do or say to cover up what I did yesterday. I also don't know what prompted me to do what I did yesterday.

Here I am in my room, pacing to and fro in the morning. I couldn't understand why she would come to take a peek at me even though she knew that I was going to be leaving soon. I also don't want to leave, but considering Mabel, I knew that I had to leave no matter what. I knew she would be heartbroken for not seeing me for so long, and so did I. I'm not happy that we are staying apart from each other since we are engaged. I knew that it was cruel of me to think of her, but what can I do? I know that I can never be with my mate, and I know that forcing myself on her isn't good; moreover, I have someone I'm getting married to soon.

I have someone that I'll marry, and I knew it wouldn't be long for her to find someone else. I feel like all the things she told her parents were lies now. I feel like she only did that on purpose. She said that to make her parents stop scolding her for what she did. I have been believing that since I didn't know her reasons were different. I couldn't help but be awed at how my friend is deceitful.

I knew that if she had wanted to accept me, she wouldn't have brought me here with force and wouldn't have hurt me. I felt my anger rise, and I couldn't help but vow to leave the pack soon. I felt the need to be far away from my mate. She would want to use me to get what she wants, and she would end up rejecting me at the end when people would think I was wrong. I felt my heart ache as I stared out through the window.

I wanted something to calm myself from all that is happening. I have a little hope inside me that she isn't lying but is telling the truth. I knew for a fact that no matter how hard I tried to believe that she wanted to accept me, seeing the ways she behaved around me, I knew she wasn't ready to accept me.

I tightened my fist in anger, as I couldn't help but think of the possibilities of her wanting to accept me. Will I agree to her request? Will I let her accept me as her mate? What would become of Mabel? I couldn't help the thoughts that were popping out of my head. I knew that even if she were to accept me, there was no way I was going to accept her back. I knew what I wanted was different from what I was doing. I want her to accept me after all the things I've said about her and the fact that she doesn't want to.

I knew that she would be heartbroken in the end if she accepted me because I have a fiancée already and there is no going back. I couldn't control my thoughts. I couldn't understand why I was angry with her when I was doing what she was doing. I knew that I already have a boyfriend and that he would reject me for someone else, but I don't like the thought of it.

"What could be wrong with me?" I thought with my hands placed on my chin.

"You are in love with her, and the only thing you can do is tell her," my wolf said, and I rolled my eyes. I was shocked by that, but I knew that it might be true, but I don't want to believe it. I was trying to calm myself down while taking deep breaths, and I was getting calmer each second.

I sighed heavily and stared deeply into the sky. I couldn't help but admire the sky. I was still staring at the sky when I felt a bird fly past me. I couldn't help but feel like I knew the bird from somewhere. I feel my heart beating rapidly. I felt my mind go to the bird that Mabel and I had. They were birds that we bought, and I couldn't help but think it was the one. I knew that there was only one way to find out if it was the one or not, and that was by calling it. I looked around but couldn't find the bird. I know that if the bird is around, then I'll be able to see the outcome of my test, but nevertheless, I'm going to do that.

I put my index fingers in my mouth, and I whistled. I stared around for a while and didn't see it. I felt my heart ache while a few lone tears escaped my eyes. I cleaned my eyes immediately, not wanting anybody to see it.

I have walked to the bed in my room, and I sit on it dejectedly. I could swear that the birds resembled the one Mabel and I had, but I knew that it wasn't the same one. I knew that there was no way the bird would be the one we had because our pack is not close to the Dark Stream pack. I knew for a fact that the bird cannot leave its cage unless it is let out of it.

I stood up from the bed and made my way toward the bathroom, but I stopped on my track after hearing the chip of a bird behind me. I couldn't believe what I heard. I heard the voice of the bird, and not only that, but I turned to look at it, and my eyes widened with shock.

Don't tell me that it's the same bird that I bought. I stared at the bird with a surprised look on my face. I knew that it might be the one, but I need to confirm it again. The bird was seated on the window frame. I whistled, and the bird flew toward me instantly. I stretched out my hand, and it flew onto my hands. As it flew towards me, I saw a letter attached to its legs, and I knew with no doubt that it was Mabel's handiwork.

I took the bird, and I placed it on the window side after collecting the letter from its claws, which it used in holding on to the letter.

I felt my eyes widen with happiness. I couldn't contain my excitement after seeing who wrote the letter. I knew it was Mabel, but I wanted to be sure, and I'm glad it's her. I was happy that she didn't forget about me. I'm glad that she still remembers me even when I'm away from her, and I felt my heart beat rapidly at the thought. I knew that since she wrote to me, she would have been worried about me. She would have been trying to find ways to come here.

I couldn't help but love her more after what she just did. I haven't opened the letter to read it, but I knew that whatever was inside would be about how I'm doing and all that sort of thing. I knew that she was worried about me. I knew that I didn't want to read the letter yet, and I decided to do that after having my morning bath. I dropped the letter close to the bird.

"Guide and protect this letter like your life depends on it," I said to the bird, and I walked into the bathroom. I brush my teeth, and I have my bath. I walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my waist. I dried my body and put on my clothes before heading toward the place where I dropped the letter with the bird watching over it.

I opened the letter, and the first line I read from the letter almost made me cry. I could feel the nervousness she was feeling while writing and the worries she had about me being here. I knew that all she wanted to know was if I was being treated badly here. I knew that if I told her all that I was facing here, she might come here and cause commotion, which might end up getting her into trouble. I smiled as I read the message, and I couldn't help but feel happy about the ways she cared for me.
