Make Me Yours

chapter 8

"Akira? "

Alex? Why is Alex in here? No, perhaps it's someone else. Could it be a ghost? Oh no? What should I to do?

With my shaky hand, I picked up a base ball bat nearby and stepped forward to open my door. Turning my door knob slowly, I was ready to break the ghost's head.

Just as the door opened, I swung my bat in full power with my closed eyes, and just as I believed I had knocked that spirit, I heard a groan: "Jesus dude, what are you doing?"

When I opened my eyes, I saw Alex standing there massaging his hands. I scowled and tried to feel the ghost's hand to be sure it was a ghost, but all I felt was brick-hard flesh.

Oh no, I am doomed.

With a guilty expression on my face, I pulled my hand away and tossed the baseball bat behind the door, asking, "W-what are you doing here? "

"I should be asking that what the hell are you doing?" Alex pointed out, rubbing his hands.
"I thought you were a ghost," I said in a quiet voice while pouting and keeping my head down.

As I was speaking, the room fell silent, and I started to feel a little perplexed. I looked up to see what was going on, and I noticed Alex staring at me with a face like, "Are you serious?"

He quickly straightened himself and said, "Sorry." I gave him a nod, and Alex went on, "Uh-can we talk? If you have time, that is"
"What? After hesitating for a while, I said to Alex, "Talk?.... Sure."

He gestured for me to come in as soon as I was done, and I said, "Sure."
Alex was standing there clumsily when I added, "You can sit there," as I closed the door and gestured to the bed.I sat down in bed after closing the door and enquired, "So? What would you like to discuss?

"Actually, I sincerely apologise for my actions. I know you didn't tell our parents anything to spare my face, but I was still at fault for not adequately defending you from Andrewson" Alex said with a guilty look.

"Yeah, I accept your apology and for the so-called saving you said it can be said I spared you but it was still my personal bias,"I said, staring at him for a few moments to check if he was the real Alex."Now that you've realised your mistakes, let's put it in the past."

Alex gave me a kind grin and said, "Thank you".

The room quickly fell silent, but Alex was still seated. I squinted and said,"That's it? I believe you came for additional conversations, say whatever you want comfortably" "Well, I think I found my mate. And you know him," he remarked after a moment of hesitation."Yeah, Jay, I know," I said nonchalantly, and Alex nearly broke his neck before turning abruptly to face me.

"what? " I backed away a little bit "How do you know?" Alex enquired with a suspicious expression, and I hissed, "Obviously, who wouldn't notice how you two were acting so suspiciously?.....but Did you tell mom and dad, though?"
"I did, but they're acting strangely and I don't know why they don't want Jay and I to be mates. I really don't want to give up Jay, now that I've found my mate, so I need your help because I don't know how to get in touch with Jay." Alex sighed.

When I said, feeling depressed and strange, "Yeah, I know, even Aunt Emily wants to destroy your matebond," Alex's eyes opened wide"Aunt Emily want to break my matebond?! How come? In other words, where did you hear this? I had no idea she was like this"

"Yeah, I heard mom abd dad discussing this downstairs. I'm not sure what's going through their heads, but I feel like something is amiss. After all, shouldn't they be pleased that you found your true mate in our pack, as most individuals don't find their mates there?" I said hanging down my head.

My present pack, the Blue Moon Pack, has very few real mate bonds. I'm not sure why, but since I've been here, I've noticed a decrease in matebond, particularly among the younger members of our pack. Finding a true mate like Alex and I is extremely uncommon, so why are our parents against Matebond? Shouldn't they be happy?

"Yes, I do believe that, but they told me straight out not to speak to Jay, and I was really upset and angry that I was unable to meet him. I've also been feeling as though I can't remember Or some of my memories are no longer there,"Alex remarked, scowling and fumbling ineffectively between his eyebrows."Memory loss?" I said,Isn't this the same thing that's happening to me?

"It's not a big deal but yeah I've been feeling like that lately , anyways it's not a big deal but please help me contact jay I really need to talk him, please." Alex whimpered like a lost puppy; I never imagined that we would be discussing this, but I will continue to help him. "sure I'll contact him first and then I'll tell you"

"Thanks dude, it means a lot for me" "Oh, by the way, when did you start feeling that I don't have certain memories?" I asked Alex, who was laughing and getting ready to leave, because I don't think it's a coincidence. "Uh, when I knew Jay was my mate, a few days after I started feeling like this.. Is there any serious problem?"

In response to Alex's cautious question, I said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I just asked for nothing." "Ok if you've any problems feel free to tell me" He gave me a gentle head pat and smiled as he walked away. It's wonderful, but this is how having siblings feels, wow.

"Aria, dinner is ready" Mom's call pulled me out of my trance "yeah I'll be there in a minute"

The truth is I'm worried about how to face my parents and lie on their face, however, many strange things keep happening simultaneously: those creature, me finding my mate,my wolf talking to me after so many years, all the witchcraft and sealing thing damien said ,our parents' dissatisfaction with matebond, and-above all-this sense of memories being lost. It's all strange. It's kind of feel connected but I can't really be sure.

I can only decide, for this reason, to keep the matebond a secret from my parents before confronting them about these odd things happening to Damein.

I hope everything goes well.
