Chapter 11
Forest's POV
After Aria fell asleep in my car I carried her up to her room before slowly walking down, trying to avoid the inevitable confrontation. But of course, when I reached the bottom of the stairs Ash was still there, sitting on the sofa, waiting for answers that would be complicated to give.
"Where is Skye?" I asked, trying to avoid the questions for as long as possible. "She was needed at home, now back to the business of Aria." So much for evasion tactics.
"Who is she? Is she your mate? Why do you say you are just friends? Why haven't you told her the truth?" He bombarded me with questions, the easier questions to answer. He was saving the harder ones for later. I let out a sigh before answering the questions that would shortly lead to questions I didn't want to answer, I didn't know if I could answer. Not fully.
"She is Aria, a girl from my new school. I met her on my first day. Yes, she is my mate, but she doesn't know of our kind and she doesn't know she's my mate. I haven't told her because I want to gain her trust before freaking her out with my secret." I answered, wishing those were the only questions asked but I knew the harder ones were still to come.
"How did she get those scars? And what are you going to do about this mess?" I took my time telling Ash Aria's story, careful not to leave out any important details. By the end my stone hearted, outspoken friend had tears running down his cheeks.
"She went through that for 11 years, never running away or telling anyone." I shook my head. My wolf howled in pain for what my mate went through. Went through alone.
Ash broke the silence with the question I didn't have an answer to. "So, what are you going to do about it?" I don't know what I can do though. She isn't ready to know about our world, but my wolf wants his mate by his side.
I told Ash my concerns and we both sat in silence, lost in thought, trying to find the answer to a question I didn't know what to do about.
"Ask her out on a date." Ash finally said. "Date her like a normal human and then after you've been dating a while tell her. Make it so the mate bond is too strong for her to walk away." He had a point. His plan had some serious flaws, but it also had potential.
"That might just work." I said, thinking through his plan, going over the pros and cons and working out every single, minuscule detail that could go wrong.
We talked for ages, going through the plan and how to put it into motion. I planned on striking after tea, when she was least expecting it. You do realise how sinister that makes you sound my wolf sneered. Jeez you're just asking her on a date. I rolled my eyes, ignoring him.
----------
After tea I walked up to her room. Nervously knocked on her door and waited for her to answer. Feeling like a prey, a weird feeling. I'm a wolf nothing scares me, nothing but this.
She opened her door and looked at me, she looked beautiful, my mate. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.
"Hey Aria. Ummm" Ok I can do this, I looked down at the floor and said in a rush. "Do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?"
