Forbidden Bonds

Chapter 6

Angela puts into a driveway. "We're here," she says softly.

"W...where are w...we?" Skye asks, shyly.

"This is Alpha's best friend's house. He's here, I know it." She walks up to the back door and begins to bang on it. "Kade!" she yells, "I know Sebastian is in there with you! Open the damn door!"

There's a rumbling noise from inside and then the door opens. "For god's sake, Angela!" a man yells, "Shut the fuck up!"

"Where is he?"

"Not here!"

"Don't you lie to me, you dumbass!" She pulls Skye into the house with her. "Sebastian! I know you're hiding here somewhere! Come out here and talk to your mate!"

Sebastian comes storming out of a room. "Angela!" he shouts, "Go away! Mind your own business for once!" Skye cowers behind Angela, trying to hide herself from her mate. Her mate's gaze falls to her. "S...Skye?" he murmurs surprised, "What are you doing here?"

Skye whimpers softly in response, too frightened to speak. "She's here to talk to you, you asshole," Angela mumbles.

"I...I'm...I'm s...s...s...sorry!" Skye blurts out, "I d...didn't m...mean t...to g...get k...knocked up b...by him! I h...hate h...him! I w...wish h...he w...was d...dead!"

Skye

His expression softens. "I'm sorry, I'm not exactly angry with you, to be honest I don't know what I'm feeling right now." He takes her hand and guides her to an empty room.

She sits down on the bed. "Alpha?" she whispers, "W...what's g...going on? Y...you're m...making me n...nervous."

"I'm going to explain the history between Alpha Nathan and me," he answers.

"O...oh..."

"So, Alpha Nathan is the reason my father is dead." Skye looks at him horrified. "Our pack and the Nightingale Pack have been enemies for a long time. Alpha Nathan sought out a witch to help kill my father." His hand grips onto the bedpost so hard, it turns white.

"T...that's w...why you l...left a...after you r...realized I w...was your m...mate."

"Yes, that's right. I didn't know how to feel about my mate being half witch. I still don't know how to feel to be completely honest."

She looks down at the floor. "I've n...never e...even m...met a w...witch b...before. I'm n...not f...fully a w...wolf b...because I c...can't s...shift a...and I'm n...not f...fully a w...witch b...because, I d...don't k...know how to c...control m...my magic."

"You don't fit into either category?"

Skye nods. "And s...since w...wolves a...and w...witches don't g...get along, I w...was s...shunned by b..both."

"My mother might have trouble accepting you, because..."

"Of my w...witch s...side? It's o...okay. It's n...nothing I'm n...not u...used to." Her expression softens. "I u...understand, a w...witch is w...what k...killed h...her m...mate..."

"She just has to adapt, that's what I'm trying and failing to do."

"Could w...we g...go h...home?"

"Yeah, let's go." He takes her hand and leads her downstairs again. Angela raises her eyebrows at him. "Be quiet," he mumbles, "we're leaving." He continues to guide Skye out to his car.

She looks out the window as he drives them home. Once they're home, Sebastian picks her up and carries her inside. "A...Alpha," she stutters, as she blushes.
