My Brother is my Mate!!

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

                   The room was silent; I could hear everyone's heartbeat. After what felt like forever Aria got off of Drake and helped him up. "Well this is awkward", I ruined the silence. Drake was speechless; he just stared at Aria. It looked like he was having an argument with himself.

                   It happened so quick you would have thought he wasn't here. He gave Aria a sad look, and ran out the door. I looked and Aria had a hurt expression on her face. I frowned and walked up to her, "What was that about? I asked I thought he was your mate". "H-he's going to reject me", she sobbed. Light tears flowed down her cheek.

                     "No he won't cause if he does i'll make sure he can't have pups", I said getting angry. I don't like seeing my friends hurt, it makes me feel bad. I stomped out of the door; I ran into the forest and shifted. I wasn't worried about my clothes, I need to find Drake.

                 I followed his faint scent and as I got closer to the lake from when I 'met' Noah, his scent got stronger. I jumped over a branch and found my way to the clearing. I saw a big white wolf. I knew it was Drake, from his scent and obvious color of fur. He was staring into the lake and sitting down on his hind legs.

                "That was a selfish thing to do" I spoke through mind link that all werewolves had. He looked up and then made a wolfy frown. "My wolf is angry with me, but what else could I do" he said. "What do you mean?, what could you do? You need to go back and apologize to your mate. You aren't going to reject her, she deserves more than that" I said sitting next to him.

                   "Exactly Kennedy she deserves more, She doesn't deserve me. She deserves a guy that will love her till the end; to cherish her and to spoil her. I'm not that guy. I can't be that guy. I don't want to hurt her, I have a past and I don't want her to get in the mix of it" he said looking straight into my eyes.

                    This is a side of Drake that I never thought I would see. He looks so broken, vulnerable. "You need to let her decide whether your that guy for her, she was so hurt when you ran out. She's been waiting for mate since I met her, and when she did her mate ran out on her" I said hurt cause I kind of did that to Blake.

                  I ran out on him and he was hurt I could tell. " I don't know Kennedy she probably hates me now. My wolf is even mad at me" he sighed. "Drake if you truly want your mate you have nothing to worry about" I said actually proud of myself. I'm usually not the counselor type but this was for a friend.

               He made a wolfy half smile and got up on all four. I smiled and nodded to signal him to go and get his mate.

      Aria's (Point of View)

          My heart felt like it was shattered into a million pieces, my normal bubbly self was now non existent. I didn't know what to do but to sit. Layla was trying to comfort me but I was to hurt to care.

              It's all my fault, I shouldn't have forgotten to use my mist. The mist i'm talking about is the thing that is keeping my scent hidden. I used it the whole time I was here to hide. I took a shower and forgot to put it on when I arrived to Kennedy's house. If I didn't forget I would have never felt this way by finding my mate.

            But at the same time something inside of me is happy that I found my mate. My vampire side was upset but still kept her ground, while my wolf side was whimpering of how hurt she is. I was hurt but I still could live on if he rejected me thanks to my inner vampire.

           Vampires don't have mates, but since I'm also wolf I have a mate. I have two sides my vampire Elizabeth, and my Wolf Adara. Just like how my wolf communicates with me so does my inner vampire.

           I asked Layla for some time alone. I've been waiting for my mate since my brother got his. I never really wanted one before because of my inner vampire, but when I saw how much Layla made my brother feel; I wanted that.

               I wanted someone to always be there for me when I need them, someone to make me feel special like i'm the only girl in the world. I wanted someone to look at me with love in their eyes and to only be mine forever. Guess that's my wolf talking.

              I decided this sleepover isn't the best thing for me so i got up and walked out of the house. I started walking to my house since I don't feel comfortable driving. I was in my door step when I saw a guy running towards me in some shorts but no shirt. As the guy got closer I noticed it was Drake.

                 He stopped when he got in front of me. The first thing that went through my mind wasn't that I was hurt or upset; it was how good my mate looked good without a shirt. Wow I mentally slapped myself. There are more important things going on than that.

               This is it he's going to reject me, I closed my eyes waiting for him to say the words. "Aria I'm sorry I ran off like that", he said out of breathe. I immediately opened my eyes, that's not what I was expecting. "You deserve better than me, I don't know how to treat a girl. I've never had a serious relationship, I was scared I would hurt you. You deserve the world and more, and if you would let me I would like to start over and try", he said with hope in his eyes.

             "Y-you're not going to r-reject me", I said looking down. He walked closer lifting my chin with his finger, "Never".  I looked deep into his eyes and new he was telling the truth. He leaned in while I leaned in too. His lips softly were placed on top of mine.

               It was full of emotion even though it was short. He pulled back not deepening the kiss at all, just nice and sweet. I smiled looking into his blue eyes. I knew he was what I wanted. I knew he was going to keep me safe from the world. Cause I finally had my mate.

                     You probably didn't expect to see that side of Drake. We're used to the cocky/player Drake. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter cause I enjoyed writing it. I'm sorry for updating a day late. Thank you for all your nice comments. Thanks for voting and following :)
