Love Me Mate

Love Can Be So Confusing

Alexander

‘What?’ I asked in complete disbelief. My whole life, I jut wanted to find a beautiful mate, settle down and grow old with her surrounded our beautiful grandchildren.

Never in a million years had I thought that my mate would reject me!
Reject me… those two meager words had the power to split my heart in two.

I stared into her sorrow filled eyes. She said she loved me! No, she said she thought she loved me! But that is still a chance, right?

‘Mia, please say something!’ I urged, rolling over so that I was staring straight into her vacant eyes.

‘What is there to say, Alexander?’ she whispered. ‘Did you really think I was so stupid that I wouldn’t notice things about you? Things that other normal people don’t posses?’ she asked in such a calm manner that it frightened me like the calm before the storm and I could really feel a huge storm that was about to hit!

I sighed, wondering how I could have been so stupid! ‘Look, Mia, I was planning on telling on you some-’ I began.

‘Oh really Alexander? You were planning on telling me? When? A week? A month? A whole fucking year?’ she cut me off harshly.

‘I was going to, but I was afraid I would get this very reaction out of you!’

‘You were afraid? Please Alexander! Cut the crap! You knew you would get this reaction out of me! You were just postponing it! I mean why would you even think I would sat someone like you!’ She yelled, getting off the bed and storming towards the door.

I leaped out of the bed and raced towards her, pulling her back by the waist and spinning her around so that she was looking into my eyes.

‘Mia! I didn’t have a choice! I was born like this!’ I growled at her, losing my temper. I get that she is human and is shocked but she will accept it! She is my mate! She has to!

‘Okay fine, maybe you were born into this… this… thing!’ she stammered, unable to even say it out loud, disgust dripping from each word.  ‘Maybe, all your family is like this, maybe you even have to take over-’

‘I have taken over,’ I corrected her.

She looked at me with those wide follow eyes in fear and shock. ‘S-so you are like the… leader?’ she asked, absolutely petrified.

‘Yes,’ I replied honestly. ‘Though I preferred to be called “Alpha”. It is more appropriate,’ I corrected her.

Mia looked at me with such a petrified expression, like a child who found out the tooth fairy didn’t exist –shocked and confused.

‘Mia please, say something love!’ I begged her in desperation, hating the torment of silence. 

Finally, she opened her mouth so slightly and the words poured out, ‘Don’t call me love!’

My wolf cried in pain, cried in rejection and denial of my mate.

I honestly thought this would all be so different. I thought that I would take things slow with her because she is human, that I would make her fall in love with my so deeply that when I finally told her, she would accept me for who I am.

Yet, here I was, next to my hysterical mate after her little melt down. She told me that she “thinks” that she is “in love with me”, but its no good because she still doesn’t accept me.

But one thing is for sure –I will not lose me mate! Never.

‘Do you know why I call you love?’ I asked her in a hushed tone, calming myself down.

‘No!’ she snapped, looking at me and folding her arms firmly. ‘You call me love all the time, too much in fact and honestly I don’t even care why!’ she pouted like a child.

‘Well, I call you love because I love you. I am so deeply in love with you Mia that it hurts. I call you love because you are everything that I love. You are the only person who can make me smile by your mere presence. You are the only person that makes me want to be a better man. You are the only person that I will ever love because you are the one from me. I have seen many different girls, but none of them have even half the perfection that you do. I am in love with you Mia.’

She smashed her lips on top of mine and once again that surge of paradise washed through me. The feeling of emptiness just vanished and was filled with gusts of love. 

I gently plunged my tongue into her mouth earning a delicate moan from my lover. She wrapped her arms around my neck and her slender fingers tangled themselves into my hair, ruffling them and tugging on them so passionately.

Snaking my arms around her, I pulled her towards the bed so that she was straddling me. I pushed her body on top of mine as she instinctively wrapped her legs around my waist, her tongue playing with mine.

‘W-wait,’ she sighed, breaking the kiss, yet her lisp just inches above mine. ‘I-I can’t do this!’ she stuttered and pulled away, sitting up, her bum resting on my abdomen.

‘Why not love?’ I asked her, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion. This woman is going to drive me insane. First she cries, then she yells and now she is just panicking.

‘I can’t love you Alexander!’ she cried in despair, making my heart shatter. ‘I have seen the movies; I know what happens next! I can’t give up my job! I can’t stay with you permanently! I can’t turn into one of you! Or join you little “family business”! I just can’t!’ she wailed, stressing upon the phrase “family business.”

‘Mia!’ I growled in annoyance, hating the fact that she believed that garbage stereotype! ‘This is different! You may know what I am, but you don’t know a thing about me! For God’s sake, this isn’t Twilight!’

‘I know this isn’t- wait what? Twilight?’ she asked, tilting her head in confusion.

‘What? If you were not talking about Twilight what movie were you asking about?’ I asked, rather confused myself.

‘Um… The Godfather…’
