"He is here." Beta Larson's voice interrupts my thoughts.
"Coming."
I quickly jump off the bed and head for the door of Colton's room so I can greet my lovely mate. Opening the door, I rush out of the room only to run into someone.
"Careful, Skylar."
I look up to see Theo. My cheeks redden and I stammer out a simple 'excuse me' before pushing past him. I walk quickly, actually I run, down the stairs. Colton is just walking in the door carrying a black duffle bag in one arm. He is wearing black dress pants and a silver-blue dress shirt that is untucked, but still, he looks intimidating and gorgeous.
Wait, what?
You can't deny that mate looks sexy right now. My wolf purrs.
Nope, I can definitely deny that.
Liar. I am you and I know that you are checking out his fine - Ailith starts before I push her to the back of my mind.
Definitely can't think of him that way even though he looks fan-fucking-tastic right now.
Fuck.
I shake my head and step into his view. "Hello, Colton. I hope everything went well." I say sarcastically, but he doesn't seem to notice.
"Yes, everything was fine. How were things here?" He asks, turning towards Beta Larson. He looks tired like he is holding a ton of weight on his shoulders.
"Everything was fine. Had a few rogues attempt to sneak in, but they were dealt with quickly." Beta Larson replies, sneaking a look in my direction. I know that he checking to make sure Theo's scent is off of me. I just roll my eyes and shake my head at him in response.
"Great. Ashley, take this." He demands, handing Ashley his duffle bag. "Lars, I will be needing to see you in my office. We have matters to discuss. Skylar, I will see you at dinner." Colton walks towards his office. Beta Larson nods in my direction and then follows after him. I release a breath I didn't know I was holding and head towards an empty chair in the living room. Flopping on the chair, I bring my knees to my chest and wrap my arms around them.
I hear footsteps on the stairs and I slowly lift my head in their directions. Theo is standing there. He looks at me, asking permission with his eyes to come talk to me. I slightly nod my head and bring my legs down, sitting properly in the chair.
Theo pulls a chair closer to me. "I am so sorry for that, Skylar. That was -"
"Shh, Theo. He's just in his office." I snap through gritted teeth. I don't want to talk to him this way, but I have no choice. I can't let him get hurt too.
He swallows. "I'm sorry. I can't have you mad at me."
"Well, I am." I'm not mad. I could never be mad at you.
He gives me a painful look. "Please, Skylar. It won't happen again. I will never do that again. I promise, just please forgive me." He begs.
"No Theo. Look, I have a mate. I can't do this." I jump out of my seat. "Goodbye."
He grabs my hand. "You may have a mate, Skylar, but I know you hate him. I know you could never love him. I know you will never want him and -"
"And what? You think I would want you?! Is that it, Theo?!" I push him at his chest, not to hurt him, but to add to what I am saying. I do want you.
"No! Skylar no, I just know -"
"Look, Theo. Whatever you think we had, we didn't, we couldn't and we wouldn't ever have. So just get your head out of your ass and leave me alone." I rip my hand out of his and walk off to Colton's office. I leave Theo again. Only this time, I leave my heart with him.
