To Love A Rogue(MalexMale)

CHAPTER 9

Carter

My blood was boiling and even if my wolf didn't want to admit that he still cared for Lee-Ann, he was just as betrayed as I.

He's my cousin. I can't believe it, who won have thought that the woman I fell inlove with would be the cousin of my mate and that she was still standing between him and I even though I thought she was dead. I growled viciously as I ran through the forest having ignored my pack members as they wondered why I was so angry. No, why I am so livid.

She had a baby in her arms. That one was recent which could only mean that that rogue Alpha forced himself onto her or she actually belongs to him, frankly I wouldn't put it passed him to force himself on her but then again, the only way she'd be so willing the day of the kidnapping was if she knew all along that he'd come or that she had scented him then and knew she couldn't keep herself from her mate just because of me.

I came to a stop, the sun shinning in my eyes.

I don't think she loves you as much as you do her. He was right, she never did, or at least not as much as I hoped.

Don't be surprised, I wouldn't put it past her to go with he matr rather than you when it came down to it. Alison, she must have known, why else would she have said that? How could she have his the head right on the nail so accurately. I wish I would have known. She promised, she promised me and I did her, but she didn't, or she wouldn't.

Lee-Ann sat across from Carter, her smile radiant as she looked at her future husband. Her stomach did a flip as she though of the title 'husband'.  It seemed like a drem to her, one she ofteb kept a distant fantasy although, even in those it had been her mate, not just someone her father felt could take care of her.

"What if this doesn't work? What if we can't do this, I mean, our mates are still out there. How would they feel if they came and found us already married and mated. "Lee-Ann's smile wavered, obviously she thought about that, in fact she had wanted to see Carter privately specifically for that matter.

"I do know that I wouldn't want to see my mate with someone else, the pain is unimaginable but the thought is just as bad, which is why I asked you to meet me. "Carter furrowed his brows, he was all for the marriage, yes, he was losing hope but that didn't mean that his wolf was which obviously fueled his own dying hope with something unknown to him.

"What did you want to inform me with then?" Lee-Ann to a breath and leaned forward.

"I know we've been friends for a long time now, so I hope you know that I don't have a problem with being your mate, I know you can make me happy but, I want us to make a deal, so that you know where I stand, where I hope you do to." Carter urged hrr to go on as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "I agree to the marriage but I want you to know that before or after we mate, any time we find our better half, the one that the Moon Goddess herself chose for us, we will inform the other and part on friendly grounds, we will accept our mates and break our bond. Can you promise me that? "

She had been the one to come up with the term, she initiated the promise, why couldn't she go through with it? All she had to do was tell me, but then again, would I have let her go without a fight.

-Moron, we have a mate now, just forget all this nonsense, she left us, that's fine but now we have our mate, who is more than ready to love us. He growled at me but I could hear the venom in his words as he spoke of her actions. I huffed unable to really forget about it, I mean, I gave her everything, was she really just not up to it. I am overreacting, I can't really say because she could have only met him the night of the attack, but the way they did it, suggested that it was planned, he knew she was there, how could she not know he was coming?
Closure, that is what I really need in order for myself to move on. Not many people will like this but, I need to know why and how. If I couldn't understand her motives, how could I possibly love Julian without thinking about the what if's?
