Mated (Narry Storan Werewolf)

Chapter 2

Niall's P.O.V.

Zayn gave me a ride in his car to my house. When he told his parents he was having dinner at my house I could hear their excitement even over the phone. Zayn seemed just as excited about this as I was. Which was not at all. I pushed on the door and found it open. It was only locked if no one was home. Mum’s car was parked out back but Dad’s was missing. I guess Mum had off today. My mother worked as a nurse in a hospital and my father was a paralegal.

“Mum I’m home,” I said as we entered. I reminded Zayn to take off his shoes and we set them by the front door.

“Hi Honey. And hi Zayn,” my mother said excitedly as we entered the kitchen.

 “Where’s Dad?” I asked.

“He’s working until five. We’ll have dinner when he gets home. So how are you Zayn?” My mum asked turning to him.

“I’m fine Mrs. Horan.”

“Please call me Maura,” Mum smiled. “Well until your father gets home you two can hang out upstairs.” I nodded and showed Zayn up the stairs and  into my room. He sat at my desk chair while I flopped down onto my bed.

“Is this awkward for you too?” Zayn asked quietly.

“Definitely,” I agreed.

“I’m sorry. I wish this didn’t have to happen. I bet you want to be with your true mate,” Zayn mumbled.

“I don’t even know who my true mate is.”

“Oh,” Zayn said softly.

“What about you? Do you know your mate?” I asked.

“Yeah I know him. Too bad we’ll never be together.”

“What do you mean?”

“He hates me.”

“Why?”

“I used to bully him a lot. Now he hates me and everything I stand for.”

“Do I know him?” I ask.

“Probably, he goes to our school.”

“What’s his name?” I ask.

“Liam Payne.” I nodded. I did know Liam Payne. He was a nerd, straight a student. He was always on the principal’s list. I figured he was an easy target for bullying. Although he was tall, he was also thin and lanky.

“Ah I do know him,” I nodded again. “Wait he’s human,” I realized.

“Yup,” Zayn agreed.

“I’m really sorry. I thought it sucked not knowing your mate but knowing them and not being with them sounds worse,” I told Zayn.

 “Even if he liked me, which he never will, I can’t be with him anyway. My parents want me to mate with you and not a human.”

“I’m sorry,” I apologized again.

“It's not your fault.” We sat in silence again.

“Want to play some video games?” I asked.

“You bet. What’cha got?” Zayn asked. I hooked up the X-Box while Zayn sorted through my games. We finally ended up playing Mario Kart. An hour later I actually found myself having a lot of fun. Zayn was pretty quiet but once I got him talking he was hilarious. He really didn’t seem like a bully. Then again, he had mostly been a bully in middle school and ninth and tenth grade. He told me after he found out Liam was his mate he had completely stopped the bulling behavior. But once he accepted that Liam would never be his, he became a player. I tried to tell him to keep hope alive. There was still a chance he could be with Liam.
