Broken soulmates (bxb)

Chapter 29

Darius pov

He hasn't returned. It's been over two months and no sign of my mate. Maybe he's not coming back..

"Stop that! They'll be back!" Kane growled and I want to believe him I really do but I'm slowly starting to lose hope.

These months have been full of pain. The longing for my mate has been unbearable. Fionn's departure day is vivid in my mind and I didn't take it well. I kept myself together until I knew he had crossed the border of our pack. Let's just say me and Kane lost it. Kane transformed and ran in the woods full of rage for several days before we returned to the packhouse. However as soon as we got to our apartment everything reminded me of Fionn and that he's not with us. As a result of another fit of rage we destroyed everything that came in our way.

That leads to my current situation. Over the past week I have finally returned to our apartment and begun to repair the damage we caused.

A light knock interrupted my work and I went to open the door. Kylie, one of the omegas, stood behind the door with a tray in her hand and smiled.

"Alpha, we thought in the kitchen that you might like a little snack? You've been working all morning and forgot to eat." She said and bowed her head.

"Thank you Kylie. Tell the others that I thanked them too." I took the tray and smiled at her. Yep, I smiled.

When my rage had finally subsided I just wanted to build my walls back up and go back to my old lifestyle. Alone and isolated with only Asher annoying me. Then I thought of Fionn, I know he wants me to create a better relationship with my pack members so I found myself with Leah. We have met regularly and with her help I have been able to open up and today we are a much more open and close-knit pack. I have also dealt with the ghosts of my past and learned to accept them. You could say I'm a better man and that's thanks to Fionn. Goddess I miss him.

"Oh stop it. You're getting a disgustingly soft." Kane said and I had to roll my eyes at him.

"Says the wolf who thinks every day about grooming of his mate when he returns." I replied and smiled as Kane growled back. Silly wolf. Who would have ever thought that we too can change.

I quickly ate the food that was brought to me and continued to repair the damage. After assembling the furniture I moved on to painting the walls. The strong smell of paint stung my nose, sometimes werewolves' strong sense of smell is not to their advantage. But this is actually quite relaxing and distracts me from thinking about Fionn.

"Looking good." That voice..

I turned around so fast that paint fell on the floor and I felt dizzy.

"Fionn.." I whispered and stared at my mate standing at the door.

And holy fuck he looks good, like an angel. His white hair looked great with little braids, he has gained more weight and looks healthy. Big violet eyes were full of life as he smiled at me.

My mate is back. He's back!

"Move you big idiot!" Kane shouted and I must have never moved as fast as I am now. I reached him and caught him in my arms. Fionn wrapped his arms around me and I buried my head in his neck.

"You're really here." I said and I felt how all the longing and worry I had pent up started to come to the surface. My body started to shake and I felt tears run down my cheeks and fall on Fionn's neck.

"Hey are you okay?" Fionn tried to look at me but I held on tighter and cried silently. Fionn's other hand started stroking my head.

"I- I thought you weren't coming back, that you found a better life with the elves.. I couldn't contact you, I missed you so much." I told him honestly and let him see my vulnerability.

"I missed you so much too Darius. I'm so sorry for putting you through this but I'm here now, I'm home. Me and Neo aren't going anywhere. And I said to you once that I will always choose you. I promise." Fionn said and it took me a moment to calm down. He's really here.

I cleared my throat and looked at him. Fionn smiled gently at me and I couldn't wait another moment. I closed the distance between us and when our lips touched I could swear I was in heaven. The kiss was fiery. All the longing we've felt came out in this kiss. However, all good things come to an end and we needed oxygen.

We were still close, our noses almost touching and smiling like fools.

"You know I'm going to mate and mark you and never let you go." I said in a low voice and Fionn shivered.

"It's sounds like good deal for me." He replied with a big smile on his face.

"I love you." Goddess how long have I wanted to say that to him.

"I love you too Darius." Fionn replied gently and I am the happiest man in the world.
We stared at each other and Fionn started to blush. He cleared his throat and looked around.

"And what has happened here?" He asked. Fuck, what am I going to say so I don't sound like a total idiot.

"Too late for that." Kane grinned in my mind.

"Oh you can guess it. Kane totally went nuts when you left and here's the end of the result. You can't get the monster out of that wolf."

"HEY! You fucker!" Kane yelled and I was ready to mock him more until I looked at Fionn. He had one of those "for real?" expressions and he raised one eyebrow questioningly. Shit.

"Oookay.. Maybe we both took your leaving badly.." I said and looked everywhere but at him.

Fionn chuckled and I gave him an embarrassed smile.

"That explains a lot but I'm here now. Let's start working so we can finish our home!" He said with a smile and started researching what he could do.

I watched him for a moment but soon moved on to continue painting. I looked at the fallen paint and was thankful that I hadn't done anything to the floors yet. We worked until late at night. Fionn tells about his trip to the elven kingdom and maybe we got distracted by kissing few times which made the work delay, but who cares, we have our whole lives ahead of us. I feel like I'm finally healing from my past, I'm not so broken anymore.

I'm so fucking happy.
