Chapter 6
I took one long look at him and burst out laughing. There is no way that I am his mate. This has go to be the worst practical joke ever. I mean the coincidence of me being saved by a werewolf, and me being his mate?
"Why are you laughing?" Jai questioned, making me look at him. I expected to see some trace of laughter on his face, but when I see nothing I immediately force myself out of his arms. I stand up and start backing up towards the door.
"I'm laughing because there is no way that I am your mate. I'm a 24-year-old girl who got kidnapped and then was rescued by a werewolf! I don't want to be your mate! I don't want to be anybody's mate! I just want to be back on the road, I promise that David won't be able to catch me. Please let me leave." I cried and silently begged him to let me go.
"I'm sorry but I can't let you do that" He spoke gruffly.
"Why not!" I screamed.
"Because I just found you and I'm not letting you go."
"I refuse to believe that I am your mate." I yelled and then pushed him away and stormed downstairs. I'm gonna make his life hell.
It has been three hours since our blow up and instead of continuing our argument, I have punished Jaiden in a different way. I am giving him the full blown silent treatment. I'm currently scrubbing his filthy kitchen. I swear this kitchen hasn't been cleaned in years.
"Violet. This is ridiculous. Talk to me." He demanded, following me around the kitchen like a lost puppy. When I still don't reply back to him, he grabs my arm, forcing me to turn towards him. "You are acting like a child. Just because you don't believe me doesn't mean you need to stop talking to me." I don't say anything back to him, causing him to groan in frustration.
"This is ridiculous." He snaps and takes my face into his hands. "You are my mate, and I am never letting you go, even if that means you never talk to me again." He takes one look at me, and then does something that I don't think either of us were prepared for. He kisses me. This kiss was nothing like I had ever experienced before, and it made me almost believe that there was something more to our relationship.
His groan made me snap out of my thoughts, and my hands shot up to his hair. He backed me up against the counter, never breaking our kiss. When we finally break apart for air he breathlessly whispers, "You are my mate, and the moment you accept it is the moment we can truly be together."
"I think I'm starting to believe you" I whisper back and close my eyes, afraid to look at him.
"That's what I wanted to hear darling. Thank you." He whispers back and rests his forehead against mine.
Our moment is interrupted when the front door slams open. Jaiden immediately throws himself in front of me and I cower against the wall. It doesn't make any sense; why would David be coming after me right now? I have been looking everywhere to look for his flower, but I haven't found one yet.
"Jaiden? Where are you?" I heard a female voice call out. Jaiden let out a couple of mumbled swears before looking over at me. I was staring at him wide-eyed. Did he know this girl? Did she work for David?
"I'm in here." He called, giving me an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I guess Maya decided to drop by unannounced." He grabs my hand in reassurance, probably sensing my panic. When we hear the soft steps of someone approaching the kitchen, we turn to look at the door in anticipation.
"So let me tell you this crazy thing that I have been hearing. Some people have been saying that you found your mate, which is kinda crazy because I know that you would tell me if something like that happened. You would never forget to tell your best friend. Am I right?" Maya stood in the doorframe of the kitchen, giving Jaiden a deadly glare, making me laugh quietly. Jaiden turned around and looked at me in shock.
"Why are you laughing right now?" He whispered to me, making me laugh even more.
"Because now I know there is someone who can put you in your place." I give him a bright smile and look towards Maya. "Hello, I'm Violet. It's great to meet you." She gives me a bright smile back before looking at me and Jai's joined hands. She lets out a loud squeal and starts jumping up and down.
"You actually found your mate? I am so excited!" She runs forward and gives Jaiden and me a big hug. "Alright I'll let y'all get back to whatever you were doing before," She gives me a big wink before continuing, "As for you mister, I can not believe that you would forget to tell me this. I demand to know all the details whenever you get the chance." She gives us another hug before leaving.
"I like her." I state, getting an eye roll from Jaiden as he wraps his arms around me.
