Are Mates Forever?

Chapter 22

A/n sorry, it's short. I am trying to write more, but balancing life is kinda tough rn

Rose's POV

"I'm so sorry...only one rejected me..I rejected my other mate...it was so damn stupid." I say softly, "I have no idea how that feels, but I can imagine it's 10 times worse than what I feel now. I know I'm your mate, but I don't know how to be a mate yet."

"...are you rejecting me?" He asks after a long pause.

"No." I say strongly. "I just want to know you more, and I don't want to lose anyone else, I cannot lose anyone else."

I cringe at how desperate I sound and my voice cracks.

"Please, don't leave." He says his wolf coming through.

"Werewolf?" I ask awkwardly.

"Isn't it obvious?" He retorts, raising his eyebrows.

Zack's pov

God, my mate has a sense of humor... Then again, maybe she's just awkward..

"....I don't even know your name yet," she says after a long pause.

"My name is Zack, but I'd honestly rather you just call me yours," I tease. "And your name?"

"Rose," she states blushing, god it's so easy to make her blush...im gonna abuse this knowledge.

"Well...Rose, how did you get into this packs territory, and where are you from?"

"I ran, and I didn't stop until I couldn't anymore. I didn't want to feel anything anymore, so I just ran...I don't know exactly where I'm from. I'm trying to find my Dad because I got kidnapped as a child. And now they're both dead." Rose says with a hint of emotion.

"Do you know your father's name? Or which pack he belongs to?" I ask wearily.
