What's A Mate?

Chapter 38

<<<<<Edited>>>>>

I flopped down onto the bed that was going to be mine for a while. I really don't like his family. They're... Something else, really. Not good. Most of them wouldn't even talk to me because, and I quote, "I smell like wet dog." I'm not sure how that works because I took showers so the smell should be gone, but whatever.

There was a knock at my door and I groaned. "What? Who is it?" "Can I come in?" I didn't recognize the voice, so I got up and opened the door a crack. It was Zeek's mother, Annabelle. What does she want? I opened the door wider, "Sure, come in." She stepped through and sat down at the desk as I sat down on the bed. "What did you come over here for?" I asked her. There really wasn't a reason as to why she should be here... Unless she wants to yell at me. Again.

"I came by to tell you something... You're not really Zeek's mate. He just thinks you are. He lost his mate and she looked just like you. So I think he thinks you are her..." I didn't know what to say. "so wait, if I'm not his mate, why the hell am I here?" "You came here by free will, didn't you?"

I shook my head no. Her face went from confusion to anger. "Why that- he's going to hear from me. Where is your mate at? He's here somewhere, right?" I nodded. "My mate is Mason Adams, but I rejected him." "You rejected an alpha?" I nodded. What was so bad about that? She sighed. "Would you ever take him back?"

"I don't know." I really didn't. I mean, he's treating me like I'm five and that's not how I roll. "I'm gonna go tell him... About you not being his mate..." She said and got up. "It was great to be able to talk to you. I'm so sorry about everybody downstairs. They don't know how to accept change. Oh, after I talk to him, I'll tell you how it went. Bye." Annabelle said and left.

I think I fell asleep because I woke up to shit breaking downstairs. "What the hell?" I got up and locked my door. I don't need Zeek trying to kill me.

As I walked away somebody started knocking, so I went back and cracked it open. Annabella was standing there and I ushered her in. "What did he say? How'd he take it?" I asked. By the noises downstairs, I'd say he didn't take it well...

"He thinks I'm lying. As you can tell, he's not taking it too well... That's why I came up here. He's going to come up here and 'do the doo' with you... I wanted to warn you so you could take his truck and leave." "How do I get to his truck though? He's downstairs. That's where the keys are." She pulled her hand from behind her back and held out the keys. "I knew he was going to freak, so I grabbed these and had someone pull his truck around to your window. He won't notice until a few hours later. The truck is dowsed with something that won't track your scent. You only have a few hours, so go now." She started to push me towards the window. "Thank you Annabelle. So much." I said and turned towards the window. Taking a breath, I jumped and rolled. Hours and hours of parkour to save my life...

I ran to his truck and started it, driving off to the one place I knew I could call home...

Mason's.
