Enemies or mates?

Chater 12

There's a small knock on the door which wakes me up. I groan my annoyance alerting whoever's outside that i'm awake. Jacob chuckles as he peaks his head into the room. When he determines it safe, he slowly walks in as I bury myself under the covers. "Is the pack being attacked?" I ask as he sits on the edge of my bed.

"No the packs completely fine. I'm assuming you already knew that considering you don't sound worried. "

I shrugged at this statement since it was true. I close my eyes to go back asleep, but Jacob taps my head above the blanket.

"I was hoping we could talk," he mumbles sounding slightly scared. "I need to apologize about my behavior these past few months. It was beyond childish of me, and I feel absolutely terrible and I know that your probably going to hate me for the rest of your life, but I had to tell you i'm sorry and at least see if there's a possibility of me getting my friend back. I also wanted to be able to give you this really big heart felt speech but you know I suck at words so I just decided to spit it out. I'm sorry. "

I role over to look at him through the small hole I created with the blanket over my head. His head is down in what looks like shame. Hes bent over, looking smaller then he has ever been.

"What caused the sudden change?"

He shrugs and doesnt bother trying to meet my eye. His desperate eyes glisten with tears. He seems sincere in what he said but he's made it really hard on me the past year. He's done everything he can to make me ruin everything good. He's questioned my position in front of the whole pack and even in front of other pack leaders. He's brought up bad memories, and many other things. How am I suppose to forgive that so easily?

"Why did you do it? One day you were all normal and sweet and caring then the next day your trying to tell me we were mates. You had no right to get possessive."

He finally meets my eye for a moment before looking back at my worn white carpet.

"Growing up I always had the adults telling me to protect you and care for you because they thought we were mates. When I told them we weren't they only laughed and told me I couldn't see the signs yet because I was to young, by time I was old enough to understand the signs I was already absorbed in the idea that we were mates. I had to force myself to like you at first."

He pauses as he collects his words. I can only assume he's trying to not sound stupid.

" No offence I just didn't feel that way about you, but after I got it in my head it was hard to get it out. I don't know why I came on so strong or why I let them make me believe it was true but I did, and I'm sorry. "

I smile knowing that one word is enough from him. It always has been. I hug him before looking over at my alarm clock. "Did you really just wake me up at three in the morning to tell me this?"

"I may have," he says looking sheepishly at the clock before running out of the room. I don't bother chasing after him instead I go back into my peaceful sleep made ten times better with Jacob back on my life.

Its been a week since Jacob decided to wake me up at 3 in the morning, and a week since Fang became a complete pain in my behind. He didnt take the news of me and Jacob very well and follows me everywhere. I've taken to calling his behavior his puppy dog ways much to his annoyance.

Tonight it became to much so I ran out to the woods needing some fresh air and space. If Fang knew he'd have a cow, but he's on patrol and I plan to be gone when he gets back, so it'll be awhile before I have to deal with him again.

I run for hours before settling down next to a small pond. Snapping branches alert me to someone's presence. Jacob pokes his wolfish head through the bushes followed by his long muscular body. He has light brown fur that mixes with black. He shift before siting next to me on a rock that over looks this small pond. Jacob and I use to come here when we were younger because we were able to avoid peoples adoration, so it wasnt a suprise to me he would come here.

Silence feels the air as Jocob looks at me. I dont mind all that much as I gaze at the rippling water. The full moon is reflected back at us.

"So does your little mates know you snuck out in the middle of the night to come see me. "

I glare at the side of his head as he avoids my eyes. "He's not my mate and you know it."

He huffs in response as if I were a child, "Look at the evidence right in front of you. He's overprotective, possessive and cant seem to keep his hands off of you."

"We've only kissed once!" I exclaim. I don't think that's considered not being able to keep his hands off me.

"Fine explain to me why he was so mad when he saw you and Kiowa hanging out during the signing. He barley knew you then. He shouldn't have cared one bit, yet he did everything he could to keep you away from Kiowa."

"So what if he has a little crush on me. If anything I am some game to him. Even if the moon decided that she wanted the impossible to happen and put a werewolf and vampire together, that doesn't mean Fang is my mate. There's no way. We would've known by now. Right?"

Even as I say it, i'm questioning my words which shows in the tone of my voice. Jacob notices as much.

"So you are questioning if it could be true," he say with conviction and a smile.

I sigh, "Yes I have thought about it a few time, okay? When we first met I was immediately drawn to his eyes, but that could be just because he has the most incredible eyes. They are such a pretty green. Crap sorry I didn't mean to say that, so anyway when he touched me for the first time I felt the static shock, but I thought that maybe one of us just had rubbed a balloon in our hair or something. "

"You didn't really think that did you? I mean I heard the shock did feel like that at first, but then you were suppose to have like this wave of pleasure crash over you."

"That didn't happen. I kind of blanked out after he touched me. I don't remember any of it. I woke up the next morning with a massive headache but thats about it. "

Jacob takes a few minutes to skip rocks across the water. One bounces 3 time another bounces 4.

"Do you have any new strategies for the war?" he asks looking solemnly at his feet.

I nod a guick yes but dont elaborate because its a lie. I cant look at him as he walks closer to me.

We're going to need you at your A game as the Alpha of the strongest pack in the world and as the Worrier you were meant to be. That means you need to get some rest. I'm going to go take your brothers spot on the patrol team. He's been a little out of it lately," Jacob says

"Alright. Night."

"Night sweet cheeks."

I began to walk around but stop. "Hey Jacob?"

"Yea?"

"I love you. Never forget that. When you were being all distant and weird it really did hurt me to see you like that and I hate that I caused you so much pain."

"I know, but I'm glad you did it. I know what I did was wrong and I'm sorry I did it. I was a complete asshole, but I'm back and am so happy you forgave me. When I realized what I was doing I was so afraid that I ruined what we had."

I smile, nod slightly and head home to a nice comfortable bed.

I feel like this chapter goes to fast and is pointless, but I cant find a way to take it out without changing the story line I have planned.
