Rejected Mate

Chapter 18

Who's the cook?

Louis'POV

Our date was, as usual, amazing. Harry just knew exactly what to do, what to say, just everything really. He always made sure we did something I wanted to do. Sometimes I really worried he could read my mind, but Harry assured me that was not the case, and the he just could feel what I needed.

Harry always makes sure we have a great date, it is always something new and the if we go out to dinner the food is always excellent. Maybe because he likes food himself too much, but I never had to eat something that wasn't good.

This time we are eating in today. After work we would meet at Harry's place, and Harry said he would arrange dinner. I wonder what it would be, I have never seen him cook anything, and he always gets his food from his mom who still cooks for him.

Or he eats in the packhouse, or out. But he does anything to not eat at home. I am starting to wonder if he can cook. But if he can, would it be as good as what his mom always makes? His mom is an excellent cook.

You can imagine my excitement for what he had been cooking.

"What's for dinner Harry?"

"I don't know, I just got two plates from my mom, so I hope it is good."

I laugh at that. "And here I was thinking you would make something for us."

Harry looks at me and smiles. "Well at least we know the food is good now."

I look at the plate and see a plate full of pasta. I take a big mouthful and I think my tastebuds exploded, "Hmmmm, this is the best pasta I ever had. Your mom is the best."

"Why do you think I still let my mom make my dinner."

After dinner we put on a movie and cuddled close to each other on the couch. I had grabbed a blanket and placed it over the both of us. Not that Harry needed a blanket, that man was a walking furnace. It's the idea that counts and it give me a reason to sit even closer to Harry.

"I am so happy with you Lou, I am so glad the Moon Goddess choose you to be my Luna." Harry says as he kisses my head.

I think back at what I had to endure, and feel how content I am now. Even my wolf is content, I was scared I would never feel my wolf ever again after everything that happened but meeting Harry made my wolf come back.

"You are the best thing that happened to me Harry, my wolf and I are so happy we met you."

I snuggled closer to Harry's side, feeling extremely happy. I tried to watch the movie, but every time I try to blink I forget to pull my eyelids up. I feel like I am starting to doze off.

"Oh Louis I almost forgot to tell you, but I have some bad news."

This sentence has me wide awake immediately.

"What's wrong?" I ask as Harry takes my hands in his.

"He is coming to the annual party."

"Who is?"

"Jonathan"

My mouth drops open, and all I can do is stare at Harry.

"Why?"

"You know we have the annual party, and we do that with all friendly packs in the neighbourhood. And his pack is one of the neighbouring packs."

All I can do is nod and listen.

"We all known each other for a long time, because of the annual parties we held. I still can't believe I have never seen you there."

Harry squeezes my hand, I squeeze back to tell him I am okay and as to say he needs to continue his story.

"He told us before he turned 18 that he knew Tessa was his mate. We were all so happy for him, that he found his mate. I didn't know he was lying about it. I mean, who would do that?" Harry shakes his head "I was invited to his party when he turned 18, but I was to busy to attend. I wish now that I would have gone there. In that way I would have met you earlier, and I would have taken you with me, and I could have spared you torture you had from Nick. I am sorry you have to see him again."

I let Harry embrace me, and I melt into him. He makes me feel safe and strong.

"Harry, don't worry, it's okay. Jonathan rejected and banished me. And I was lucky in a way that he did, even though I have been through much, I am glad he did reject me because otherwise I would have never met you."

"But I am scared he wants you." Harry admits to me.

"And I am here too, to have a say in it all. Even if he wants me, what I really doubt, I would never want him ever again."

"But you still have the bond because you were soulmates." I feel Harry is really scared of losing me.

"Even if that is true, the Moon Goddess choose me as your Luna, and even though we may not be first soulmates, I know I want to be your mate Harry."

My eyes widen as I realise what I just said. I look up at Harry, scared what to see. But I see his face break out in a big smile, dimples on full display.

"I won't let you go, ever" Harry says as he holds me even tighter.

Ï will never choose him over you, Harry, I will be yours forever."

"Thank you." He mumbled as he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine in a sweet kiss.

"You don't ever have to thank me for doing what I want." I say as I press our lips together again.
