The Werewolves Of Redford (And My Mate.)

Chapter 4 - The Truth

Jake's POV

I really had to tell her soon. About both me being her mate and... The other thing. I mean, I couldn't keep it hidden forever, and she was a smart little fighter so it wouldn't be long before she found out. Once again, my mind drifted to her as I watched her walk away with Forrest. Lowly, I growled. She spent way too much time with him. I couldn't let her get hurt; but I couldn't let her find out about her beloved friend.

I bet he was just acting; he probably wanted something from her.

Almost unconsciously my eyes drifted to her body, ravenously raking over her curves and gorgeous legs. I groaned; what do you expect me to look at- I'm a guy!

But I really did have to make sure she didn't find out; that she didn't find out why I was here, why I was an Alpha at such a young age, and how much I could put her in danger.

Angelina's POV

"Thanks, Forrest!" I shouted, turning back to wave as I ran from his old truck to my house. He returned it with a grin and sped off, leaving a dust cloud behind him.

"Hi, Mum." I hugged my mum hello as usual, not mentioning anything about all that had happened recently. Then a thought struck me- what if she was a werewolf too? Great, another mystery to solve.

But I had made up my mind to find out more about Jake- and the best way to start off with that was probably going to visit him. Only I didn't know where he lived.

After changing into some more comfortable shorts and shirt, I dialed Jake's number; which he insisted on being in my phone.

"Hello?" Jake's husky voice answered.

"Um, yeah. Hi." I mumbled, suddenly shy. He sounded so businesslike.

"Angel?" His voice softened.

"That's me..." I smiled a bit. I wonder if he knew that I knew that... I was supposedly his mate...

"What's wrong?" Now his voice was full of concern, almost demanding.

"Nothing, I just wanted to know where you live." Was that too straight out?

"Why?" Jake's voice chuckled. Shivering, I rolled my eyes. God, why did his laugh make my heart go all weird and skittery?!

"Just because." I answered. "Pleaseeee." I added in my most pleading voice. At once his breathing hitched and he groaned a little- I smirked slightly to myself.

"Angel, don't use that voice on me." He breathed.

"But I- I just w-want to know where y-you live." I said again in a begging tone.

"23 Samuels Road." He answered quickly. "But I'm not home now."

"Oh. Okay." I answered. "Bye!"

HA, that sucker was so easy.

Within minutes I was running up the road, crossing the intersection and running some more. I knew Samuels Road well because my best friend had used to live there before she moved.

Under me, the ground seemed to skim past. I'd always known I was fast, but I was actually sprinting and it didn't hurt a twinge!

Finally, I got to his house and was surprised at it's enormous size.

Hesitantly I pressed the doorbell- what if everyone was all posh?!

"Hey." A guy appeared a few moments later. His black hair hung over his eyes, making them unreadable.

"Yeah. Hi. I'm Angel..."

"Angel? As in, Jake-Plus-Angel?" He smirked.

"No." I snapped. "Um, I don't know."
