I'm Yours

Chapter twelve

The weeks that passed was avoided of confrontation with Andrew. It wasn't as if he was making it difficult for me. I absoulutly didn't see him at all.

I didn't want to see him. Call me a coward if you will but it just made things so much more complicated when he marked me.

The only time I ever heard from him was yesterday, when he sent Colt down.
mg
Colt, with a giulty expression, had told me that with Mark was already fully recovered and the rematch was to be in two days, infront of the pack house, with every single pack member there to witness the disipline of an uptight rouge.

Colt had asked if I was ok with all of this and I told him I didn't have a choice. Weither I liked it or not I had to be okay.

For one, I wasn't going to let anyone get the best of me. I had traditions to follow, morals to up-hold. Two, I wasn't going to give Andrew the satisfaction of trying to break me. I knew he was expecting me to go find him, to confront him about my mark.
To confront him about the rematch. But I wasn't going to do that. It's not in my nature. I was going to do the rematch no matter what.

It had been exactly three weeks since I talked to Mark. Speaking of which, I wasn't really surprised to see him walk into my bed room the day before the fight. We had settled with some sort of truce the last time I saw him. A mutual respect with one another.

It was a step towards something more to come in the not so distant future.

I knew why he was here. Obviously this whole thing has got him nervous. He was going to beat his luna to a bloody pulp. Even though no one knew that Andrew had a mate, Mark sure did. It was visible that this was driving him crazy with the thought that someone in which he was to serve and respect, was someone he was commanded to beat by his lunas mate.

I feel bad for the poor guy.

Mark walked into my room a grim expression on his well structured face.

"Hey Mark, whats up?" I asked motioning him in and patting the bed next to me for him to sit.

He slowly walked over and sat down running his hands through his hair. And for the looks of it, this wasn't his first time doing this. His poor hair was just all over the place. God, I should be this way, not him.

"I just wanted to check on you see if you were okay. I heard that you were in a coma. I've been pretty busy lately with all my backed up work from the time when I was healing, so I couldn't check on you. They say it was pretty bad." Mark says trying to sound un-frustrated and focused when he is clearly not.

" Yea, I'm dealing with it pretty ok. I mean it was bad but somehow I made it out alive. Nobody really knows what happened though." I look over at him to see him already looking at me. But not entirly at me.

More like at my shoulder.

"Are you and him- ?" I almost immedeatly cut him off.

"No we'er not. I don't know why myself. All I remember was going into a coma and coming out of it with this thing on me. And now that Jackass has been ignoring me. Not that I'm complaining, I've been kinda ignoring him too. But I mean he could show some type of effort! Thats why I'm going through with this match. To show him he can't break me as easly as he thinks." Mark just stared at me for a second before cracking out a sort of tired smile.

"You know," he starts," Andrew really isn't a bad guy. " I stared at him with my eyes wide.

Are we talking about the same Andrew?

He looks at my expression and continues. "He wasn't always the jackass he is today. He was a happy boy just like everyone else during his child hood. I mean he never went through any traumatic events growing up, as far as I know, to be the way he is.

"Its just as the years past he grew into someone who doesn't really like to show his emotions. His problem is more of like a way of thinking.

"He believes that in order to keep respect and order you have to create fear. That is Andrews thought process. He really does care about this pack more than anything in the world and is willing to do anything in his power to make sure his pack stays safe.

"To do that Andrew feels that he needs order and respect. And in a way he is right I guess." Mark stopped for a minute thinking about what he was going to say next.

"Andrew may be an ass, but for all the years I've known him ,which have been quiet a few, I know for a fact he never does things without a reason. He always has a reason for everything. Andrew has never abused his power and I know he is a good man. I guess people just need to put a little more faith into the man and get to know him like I do. Then they'll ,for sure, see who I see."

I looked at Mark and nodded my head. It was a lot to process. But I think I uderstood a bit better now with me being an Alpha and everything.

"I get it Mark. Well at least I think I do. Its just hard to imagine Mr. Alpha as this person. At the same time I see it."
Mark nodded his head in understanding and we were then silent for a few minutes lost in thought.

"Are you nervous for tomorrow?" I suddenly asked Mark.

He smiled a small smile, "Yeah, very."

"Hey!" I say nudging his shoulder."I hope you remember our deal. Absoulutly No chickening out! Got it?" I ask with a smile.

He looked at me sadly for a moment. "Cormina. I get you wanna value your morals and everything but-" for the second time that day I interupted his thoughts.

"Listen, I know what your going to say. But I need you to do this. Its not only for you or for Andrew, its for me too. I mean yeah it'll hurt like hell and I probably most likely wont walk for the rest of my life," I half laugh to myself at my own humor,"but to me ,at least, it'll be worth it. I hope you can understand." Mark look at me intently for a few seconds before grinning and nodding.

"Alright, I think I'm starting to understand your sense of craziness." He says looking at me passively.

"Well I hope you know this means that you can't hold back on me. I know we already discussed this and it feels like we'er repeating, but we need to make this fight look real. Which means that I'll need to attack you, but not as bad as last time. We need to boost your rep, Mr. Beta ."

We both laugh lightly before Mark says , "Fine."

"Alright then lets pinky promise." Mark looks at me like I'm crazy for a second before droping his head and looking at me from an angle. Finally , he lifts his pinky to mine sealing our promise.

We smile at eachother ,Real genuine smiles, before Mark gets up and says he has to go. I walk him my door.

He turns to look at me and catches me by complete surprise when he leans down and kisses my forehead lightly. He lingers for just a bit before pulling away.

"Thank you Mini for being patient with him. He really does need someone like you. Even if your an odd pairing ,with you both being Alphas and all, but the moon goddess doesn't make mistakes. All you guys need is time. So, just thank you for caring for my best friend." And with that he walked away.

Today I believe Mark and I came to a mutual understanding of one another. I felt really suprised at how easy it was to talk to him. I feel like we could really get close once this whole thing is behind us.

I feel like I could make this place home if Andrew would just accept me.

No.

I wouldn't think about him now.

All I know is because of this conversation with Mark,

I am one step closer to finding Andrews heart.

I am one step closer to being loved and cared for.

I am one step closer to acceptance.

I am on step closer to finding me.

Hello everyone. I know the book is dragging along but since I said it will be a series I need to make it extend. So I thought the first book would be about how Cormina fights and struggles to get Andrew to accept her and be mates and the struggles in being together then the rest of the story will peice in after in the other books. I hope that makes sense. Make sure to vote and comment it will really help me. Thanx guys!!!
