Unwanted Mate

Chapter 7

"I want you to be mine."

"Come again?" I say sitting up and staring at John with wide eyes. He sits up as well.

"We need each other Adelaide." He says and I stare at him in disbelief.

Does he realize how much trouble this will cause?!

"Yeah you mean as friends of course right?" I ask and he shakes his head no.

"You don't get it do you? John we were rejected by the people we were destined to be with. When we can't have them, we can't have anybody." I say and he grabs hold of my hand again.

"We need to be loved, we need each other. How is it so hard for you to understand that? Maybe this happened for a reason, maybe we were destined for each other." He says sounding desperate.

I can feel my wolf getting angry trying to come out but I continue to block her out.

"What we need to do is stay friends." I say looking into his now teary eyes making me feel horrible.

He's hurt, really hurt just like me.

"Please." He begs now holding my face in his hands with our faces inches apart.

"John why do you want this so much?" I whisper.

"I-I just want to be loved. I've waited years for my mate to come back for me, she hasn't. I don't want to die being unwanted." He says as a tear runs down his cheek and I quickly wipe it away.

"You can have anyone in the world and you're deciding on wanting me why is that?" I ask him.

"I know you want to be loved Adelaide, I can see it. I can see that you're hurt just like me. I see you differently then everyone else. I understand." He says then lightly kisses my cheek.

He was right. I did want to be loved, and I was hurting so much that the pain was beginning to be a normal feeling for me. Maybe this is my chance on finally easing the pain.

"I-I don't know what to say." I stutter.

"Say you'll be mine." He tells me with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll be yours." I answer after a long minute of silence.

In an instant his lips were pushed to mine. I didn't feel any fireworks, tingles or desire, like I did with Aiden but in the end I could only describe it as sloppy and desperate but yet very comforting. I didn't feel alone as much anymore, I felt I finally had someone who understands the pain I'm going through. We were both now here for each other.

We were now laying in each others arms
in silence.

"So what are we?" I ask him staring at our intertwined hands.

"You're mine, I'm yours. We don't need to put an exact name for it, but that's what we are and what I hope we'll continue to be."

I had a feeling Aiden wasn't going to like this, I mean he did kiss me not so long ago so that must mean he might want me. Shit I really didn't think this through! I guess I'll have to wait till Monday to see what he wants.
