Love Thy Wolf Mate (Book 1: Mated Midnight Series)

~8~ Love Thy Wolf Mate

Love Thy Wolf Mate

This ch is in Kayla's p.o.v., just cause she wouldn't shut up about not having her own. She's really very whiny. ;P

Also, it skips a couple of weeks ahead of where ch. 7 left off.

Eight:

~~~~Kayla's P.o.v.~~~~

“How long are you planning on avoiding him?” I ask my sister as I lean against her bedroom doorway with a small frown.

Honestly, how long did she think she could keep this up? Is already been two weeks, how much longer would she be able to stand being away from him? I've only been away from Jack for a couple of hours and already I feel sick. How she's lasted this long I'll never know.

“I'm not avoiding anyone, Kay.” Micah scowls at me from her bed, rubbing at the dark circles under her eyes. She looked like she'd had the flu for several weeks, like she was too exhausted to even be bothered to care how she looks. And that's not my sister.

She may not go all out the way I do, but Micah's always made sure she looked 'presentable' before ever leaving her bedroom. Now though, she looks as though she hasn't even brushed her hair in too long a while. It was just all wrong and it really needed to stop.

“Bull shit. You're avoiding Luke and you know it. Its been two weeks Micah, don't you think you should at least answer the phone when he calls?” The calls started two days after we got back and haven't stopped since. Micah was just lucky we were on break until tomorrow, otherwise she'd have had a lot of explaining to do for much school.

“Kayla,” She groaned, rolling over to stare out the window as she effectively showed me her back. Did she think that would make me shut up?

“Don't you Kayla me, damn it.” I scowl at her back when I get no reaction to something that would've had her using some sarcastic retort any other time. Damn it, I really want my sister back! Sighing, I walk over to her bed and sit gingerly on the side, pursing my lips at the miserable look on her face. “You're miserable, Micah. Just talk to him, it doesn't have to be face to face. Just answer the phone.”

“He's not even human, Kay. He said we're stuck with one another, that there's no fixing this. How could he have done this and not told me the minute he realized what he'd done!” Angry tears fill her eyes when she looks back at me and I can feel my own eyes watering. “He took the choice right out of my hands.” She whispered.

“Its not like he meant to, honey.” I crawl up beside her on the bed, cautiously wrapping my arms around her as her tears flow harder. The sensitivity of my own skin to any other's touch but Jack's had disappeared awhile ago, but with Micah being away from Luke for so long I wasn't sure if it was the same for her. “You know if there was a way for him to fix it he would have. But there's not and I really think he does love you and not because of the mating.”

“'The mating'.” She mimics my voice sarcastically, “God, you make it sound like its normal! There's nothing normal about this, Kayla. I can't-I don't-”

I cut her off, kissing the top of her head. “Do you love him?” I already knew she did, and I'm pretty sure Luke did too, but I think Micah needed to hear herself say it before she'd believe it. Geesh, and people say I'm the stubborn one.

“What does that have to do with anything? He should have told me, Kayla, and not just because Jack had threatened to tell me himself. He should have told me the night we kissed, not when he thought it was convenient.” She sits upright and pulls her knees to her chest, resting her chin on them.
