Cold Mate

Chapter 10 (There's more to Him)

I woke up quite early, I felt energized and was in a good mood. Heading downstairs for breakfast I saw Louise setting up the table by herself, "Good morning Louise" I greeted her cheerfully. I went to get myself a cup of orange juice from the fridge and turned to find her staring at me with a smile lingering on her lips. "What...?" I asked her creasing my eyebrows in confusion.

"Nothing dear just trying to make sense of your cheerful nature this morning compared to yesterday." She replied turning to focus on flipping the pancakes she was making.

"I don't know, I guess today seems like a great day and morning to go for a run in the woods." I told her gulping the rest of my orange juice and going out the door and into the woods for a morning run. I didn't change to my wolf form since I wanted to use my human strength, running for almost an hour, I paused when I came across a pond farther to the eastern part of the forest.

The environment looked serene and beautiful like the one in my old pack, just that this one had a magical and historic feeling to it. There were flowers surrounding the pond and you could see butterflies flying around. The rocks from which the water traveled was indeed high, probably 25-30 feet.

I sat by the pond to relax for a while before heading back to the pack house but the water was so tempting, I just wanted to jump in and swim. I later decided against it since I didn't want to get wet and go back to the house to bath again so I just sat on one of the rocks and put my feet in the water and boy was that relaxing. I pulled out my phone and decided to call mom since I needed some advice on how to handle my mate.

The phone rang three times till she picked up, "hey mom" I spoke up and heard someone speaking angrily in the background but I couldn't decipher who it was and what the person was saying.

"Hi darling, how are you doing?" She replied with a shaky voice and I think she moved away from where she was because I couldn't hear anything again. I could also detect how anxious she was when she spoke.

"Mom, what's going on?" I asked her wanting to know what was going on in my old pack, not to be nosy but I was just worried because my family and friends still lived there.

"Nothing honey, don't worry about it." She replied and since I didn't want to push it I moved on to what I initially wanted to talk to her about.

"Mom...?" I questioned not knowing what how to start telling her my adversities. Quite honestly I was indignant at myself because stupid karma just decided to pay me back for the dreadful things I did in my past.

"Yes honey.... " she replied.

I took in a good amount of deep breath and decided to let it all out. "Mom I feel like God hates me. When I first found my mate I thought that he actually liked me since he acted all territorial over me but then we arrived here. He has been nothing but a jerk to me, he acts like he doesn't want me which feels like there's a constant slashing in my heart." I didn't perceive I was sobbing till I saw tears running down my face. I quickly wiped it off because I see tears as a sign of weakness. I'm stronger than that, leaving my pack I cried because I was really going to miss them but this is different.

"And what hurts more is that, I'm being threatened by some girl who's been haunting me in my dreams to stay away from Jordan. What should I do mom?" I continued but said it so fast that I didn't even think my mom would catch the words but she magically did.

"Honey I think you should give him sometime to get used to what's happening. Have you thought of the possibility that he might not have been expecting to meet you. And it's very rare for a mate to not care about their mate so I suggest you confront him about it. Let him know how you feel, may be something would click in his head." My mom was right, I haven't spoken to Jordan about how I felt and if I wanted him to treat me like his mate, that's was what I needed to do. As I made up my mind, that little devil inside my head made me ask myself what if I'm amongst the rare cases? God be my helper.
