His Abused Muted Mate

Chapter 4

(James)

I sat, staring at her from across the cafeteria. It had been a week since Charlie had offered the thought about us being mates and yet I couldn't pluck up enough courage to go and talk to her. Instead, I just sit here and ignore my wolf and my friends, staring at the beautiful mute girl on the other side of the cafeteria.

"Dude," I jump and turn, glaring at Charlie as he shoves me. "Go talk to her already."

I shake my head. How could I possibly talk to her? I can't communicate with her! I won't even be able to understand what she says to me.

"Why not?"

"I don't want to annoy her." I mumble, turning away from my best friend. He laughs, staring at me with a huge grin on his face.

"How on earth would you annoy her?"

"I don't want to interrupt what she's doing." I state. It wouldn't be fair for me to go and intrude on her personal space. She clearly doesn't want to be around others, she always just shoves them away.

"You're an idiot, James. An absolute idiot." I turn back and glare at him.

"Shut up, Charlie." I growl at him and he instantly shrinks back, lowering his gaze.

I sigh and look away, mumbling an apology. I don't understand what's happening to me. This past week I've been irritable and easily annoyed. Not even my wolf wants to talk to me anymore. Maybe they're right, maybe she is my mate.

Sapphira. What a wonderful name. If only I could grow a pair and go talk to her. If she isn't my mate than I can just leave her be. However, that's not what worries me. What worries me is if she is my mate. What am I meant to do? I don't know how to care for her, I won't even be able to communicate properly with her.

I let out a loud sigh. It shouldn't be this hard, I'm sure of it. But, nobody has ever taught me these sorts of things. How do I make her happy? When do I tell her about us? When do I mark her? How do I convince her that the world has it wrong, that we aren't really the monsters that humans love portraying us as? Those are the sorts of things I should be taught instead of learning trigonometry and algebra!

You know, for a future Alpha, you really can't manage much on your own. Can you? I can hear the anger and amusement in Katah's mind as he links me.

Easy for you to say. You're not the one that runs the risk of being humiliated. I grumble back, secretly glad that he's finally decided to talk to me again.

Not true, James. We are one, remember? What you feel, I feel. If you're humiliated I feel that as well. However, I'm not the one that's about to wet my pants because I can't find a way to go and talk to my mate. I give a soft growl, trying to warn him to watch his tongue. As usual, Katah just ignores me.

I will talk to her. I just need to find the right moment. You can't rush these things, believe me. 

Believe you? I've done this many times. I might be a wolf, but I am as old as wolves themselves. I've gone through this process more times than you can count, James. You've never done it. And if you don't hurry up and do it, I'll just do it myself. I give off another warning growl.

You watch yourself, Katah. If you even consider doing that there will be consequences. I can feel my wolf roll his eyes, but he backs off.

Well, hurry up and get on with it. 

I feel our connection break and I give vent to another sigh, focusing my gaze back on Sapphira. My eyes widen before turning elsewhere when I notice her looking right at me. After a moment I look back, but she's bent over her book once more. Her wonderful hair splayed across her shoulders.

Finally I come to a decision and stand up, determined to go and talk to my mate. Why shouldn't I? Why should I be worried? She's my mate, she's bound to me. We are meant to be together, and I am determined to make it so. Who cares if I have no idea what I'm doing! I will make this work.
