My Huntress Mate [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23

Jay's POV

We waited till the rest of the boys got up to the living room to join us. After awhile, I looked at Emma as Angel sat on my lap.

"So Emma, you know Steven?" I asked bluntly.

"Pardon.?" She whispered as she looked at me with surprise.

"Steven? I see you know him?" I questioned as Angel laid her head on my chest, her breathing was calm and steady.

"Uh.. Y-yes."

"How so?" I rocked myself gently back and forth, making Angel fall asleep in my arms.

I heard a gulped from her, "he's- I'm his mate."

I nodded, "are you two together?"

"Not really. He has someone else and he wouldn't want me feeling like I had no option to be with him."

"Oh.. Well do you like him?"

"Um.." she trailed off and nodded. I furrowed my eyebrows not knowing what to do at this point.

Steven gave up his true mate for me. I love him, but not the same way anymore. I realized sometimes what I feel can get in a way of two people who were actually meant for each other.. For me what he did was selfish. I have mine and he has his.

"They're down there. We tied them up pretty tight and they're still knocked out." Steven came in with a chuckle as they all did. I looked up at him as he caught my gaze.

I stood up with Angel on my arms, "you all should show them to their rooms. Angel will be staying with me." I said and passed by everyone as I went upstairs.

I went straight up to my room and laid Angel down on my bed. I put the covers up on her and kissed her on the forehead, wishing her good night.

"Hey." A voice came through the door.

I looked behind me to see Steven looking at both Angel and me. How ironic is it that he was Emma and I's topic and was the reason for my way of feeling the way I felt towards him. Now here he is, in front of me.

"Your family seems very nice." He smiled and I stood ups

"Yes they are. But let's talk outside before Angel wakes up." I whispered and led us outside.

We stood in hallways as he closed the door silently. When it was fully closed, I quickly punched him in the face when was about to turn around.

"Ah.. What's that for?" He winced as he touched his face, rubbing his jaw.

"That's for being selfish." I whispered in greeted teeth.

"Being selfish with what?"

"For rejecting your own mate and for being with me."

His eyes widened and went stiff. His heart beat was loud and fast that made me sense his nervousness.

"How dare you hurt Emma. She's your mate. Why are you even still with me while you got her?"

"I love you. I don't love her the way I do with you. Can't you see? I see myself more with being with you. Not with her."

"It doesn't work that way. I'm not yours and you're not mine. That's already being shown for us."

"What are you talking about Jay? I'm your boyfriend."

I shook my head, "no. We can't be together."

"What? Why?" He looked a bit hurt, but he was more focused on the reason why.

"I already found my mate."
