It Was Always You

Its really happening (13)

I wake up in Shane's arms and I feel my neck tingling. I smile as I turn in his arms. He smiles at me.

"How are you?" I ask him and he smirks.

"I'm perfect."

"That's good." He looks down at me and I blush. He traces my pack tattoo.

"I have wanted to do this since that first day I saw you at the lake." I feel my cheeks heat up as his nude bottom presses against mine and thoughts of last night flash into my mind.

"We should probably go." I tell him wanting to do anything but that.

"We could stay here a little longer." He smiles. I lift up my hand to push my hair out of my face. My left hand has a new tattoo on it. I study the tattoo. It looks simple and beautiful. I grab Shane's left hand and see the same mark. It is our mate mark. I smile at his. It makes his hand look more masculine and it makes my hand look elongated and delicate.

"Shane?"

"Yes my love?" The pet name sends tingles down my spine.

"When do we leave for England?" I ask him dreading the answer. He is silent and I knew I wrecked the moment.

"Tomorrow." He says. I nod and cuddle closer to him. I don't want this moment to end. He holds me in silence and I know he's just giving me time. I think about how much is going to change in the next couple of days.

"We should go." I tell him getting up. I put my clothing on and he just watches me. I put everything on with shaky hands. I can feel his eyes on me as I do this. He stands up and hugs me. I close my eyes savouring the warmth. He turns me to kiss me and I comply. I let him kiss the nervousness away.

After a couple of minutes Shane takes me back home and I know what has to happen. The first place we stop is my parents house.

"Hello?" My father calls as we enter the house. I stand by Shane's side as we wait. My father enters the front entrance and looks at us. Hand in hand finally completed the mating process.

"You both smell so different." He smiles at us. He looks down at my free hand. "That's your mate tattoo?" He grabs my hand and looks at it. He runs his hands over it and it makes me uncomfortable.

"Tessa come here. They mated!" He shouts and I flinch at him annoyed. Mom comes rushing into the room.

"Drake! Let go of her hand." Mom scolds him and Shane chuckles. I glare at my mate who seems to find this amusing. My mother smiles and hugs both of us.

"So it's done." Terrance enters the room. Shane glares at his father all laughter gone from his face. He pulls me behind him. Terrance meets Shane's stare and they have a mind link conversation. I can feel Shane's walls up and it weird to think we have a mind connection now.

He nods at Shane and he drops his stance. "So I'm assuming everything went perfect last night?" Ariel asks and Shane nods.

"That must have been so romantic!" Mom smiles at me and I nod.

"That smile, almost identical to your mothers." Dad says and I blush.

"Now you know it's done we'll leave." Shane says and pulls me in front of me. He practically pushes me out the door.
