Married Mate

Chapter 13

Jasmines POV

After saying good bye to a very hysterical Michelle, Gabriel led me to his car and we were off. The drive home was silent and awkward. I kept feeling like I was leaving a piece of me behind. I didn't want to feel this way but there was nothing I could actually do. I looked through my phone which Gabriel admitted to hiding from me, and found that I had more than 100 missed calls.

The main ones where from Lance and my sister Abby. I'm not surprised she called me so many times. Abigail is 3 years older than me, and has always taken her role as big sister very serious. Our relationship is like any other siblings relationship. We fight and then make up but I truly can't remember ever fighting with her over something serious.

Lately she's been very distant from me, not wanting me to come by anymore, always being busy and acting really jumpy. I guess she has a lot on her plate right now, and adding to it by telling her I was kidnapped by werewolves won't make her life easier. I'll just keep that to myself and work on a cover story to explain why the hell I was missing for 4 entire days.

In all my deep thinking, I didn't notice that we were finally outside my house. I shifted in my seat so I could face Gabriel. "Thank you for agreeing to bring me home, I really appreciate you being understanding with the whole fact that I'm already married. To tell you the truth, if I wasn't married I'd def. give you a chance at wooing me" I said trying to flash him my best smile. He smiled but quickly averted his eyes looking out his window.

"Just go before I change my mind." He responded coldly with no sign of the smile that he had given me seconds ago. As I was getting out of the car he leaned over and grabbed my arm "Are you rejecting me as your mate?" Confused I tried pulling away from him.

"What?" I just stared at him confused.

 "Answer me! Are you rejecting me as your mate?!" he said shaking. His eyes where flickering back and forth from green to amber. "I guess I am rejecting you as my mate, but ..." "that's all I needed to hear". He let go of my hand and I almost fell on my butt from all the pulling I was doing. Why did he want to know if I was rejecting him? Wasn't it obvious that me being married was already a form of me not wanting to be his so called mate?

I quickly made it into my home and shut the door closed behind me. "Jasmine? Jasmine are you home?!" A tired looking lance ran towards me, his eyes looked drained and he had bags underneath them. He smelled like he hadn't showered in days and had more than a five o clock shadow happening on his face.

"Yes, I'm home."

"Where the hell where you?! Do you know how worried your sister was?! What happened?"

Oh wow my sister was worried but he wasn't? "What happened was that I had a photo session but ended up getting lost, I had no gas and a blown tire. I had to walk for miles to find a motel. My phone died, so I wasn't able to call you. I'm sorry hunny." I leaned in to kiss him but he just turned away.

"Don't apologize to me; apologize to your sister who wasn't able to sleep for 4 days."  Ouch Rejection much?. I quickly went and shut myself in my room and dialed my sister.

"Hello?"

"Hey Abby.."

"Jasmine is that you?!"

"Yes"

"Ay dios mio! Jaz do you know how worried I've been?! I couldn't even sleep coño! You better explain yourself ahora mismo, I seriously thought the chupacabra got you!"  I rolled my eyes at all her dramatic spanglish.

"Really? The Chupacabra? I had a photo session but ended up getting lost, I had no gas and a blown tire. I had to walk for miles to find a motel. My phone died, so I wasn't able to call you or lance back, Im sorry abby if I worried you." I answered almost robotic like, I didn't want to mess up my alibi.
