The Cursed love

Chapter 13

"Destiny test you on how you face yourself."

Silence is eating me like a termite. With the beginning of the the slow showers that bangs on my window all night the date for festival is getting closer. Whole night my mind wanders over all the wilds going around. Which just makes me end up thinking the worse possible scenario for the upcoming days.

Its been almost a week since I met James. Nomads and other tribes have started coming to woods of Forks. Neither of Cullens wanted to take chance of risking to meet Leyla or me. The nights are not same. They begin with howls covered by thunder strokes and day begins with showers with the air mixed with smell of blood and soil. I can only imagine what must be happening in deep woods.

Its first of march. My dad's birthday. We have been talking to our parents everyday since last two week. That is after the day Ted went back to his wizardry school. Leyla wanted to find some way to get in touch with him, but we decided to better let him be as we won't reach him until he wants us to. I and Leyla have almost adjusted to this kind of lifestyle. Me handling mom's boutique. Leyla handling her dad's restraunt. coming home tired. Feeling of being watched over. Talking to our parents and assuring them everything is fine here. Trying to talk to James through telepathy. To cut it short I can just say that we have grew accustomed to living in the castle of cards waiting for little gush of wind to break it into pieces.

"Smelling so called blood again?" Leyla asked entering my room.

"Yep. Just like you again tried sneaking into Ted's wardrobe." I smirked.

"Hey Ems?"

"Yes?"

"Do You really hear them howling and smell blood?"

"Do I have any good reason to lie to you?"

"Fine. But why can't I hear and smell it too? I mean now even I am werewolf's mate. Do you think it is because Bella is a she wolf or she is not a beta?"

"No Leys. I don't think its related to any of mating things. Mating can't make you feel abnormal or psychotic."

"Hey come on! Don't be so disheartened. That's my thing. Plus you better remember what James says."

His words echoed in my mind.
You are not abnormal. You are special.

Before I could say anything a strong smell of my mate filled my lungs and adrenaline rushed through my whole body. There was some other smell too but there was one common stinky smell with all of them.

I didn't wasted even a second and rushed to open the door.

"James!"

"Ems!"

We grasped each other in tight hug. Saying all the love you's and miss you's in this one hug. Not wanting to let go of each other. It felt like the fire inside me tamed all at once. The adrenaline rushing through me, wanting to kiss him and make sure it is not a dream. He kissed me on forehead making sure I was fine now. Welcoming me back to my safe and cosy home. The way he held me tight said how much he missed me. How he was worried to leave me like that. Though my beats came heavy and painful that it almost made cry. However painful it is to be close to him I am gonna love this pain.

Just then someone cleared throat. Relunctantly he loosened the grip but still held me in one arm.

We saw Leyla and Bella stopped hugging each other.
Oh well. That was bit awkward to see my best friend with her girlfriend.

It was Jasper who cleared his throat.

"Sorry that we came here without informing. But we didn't had any other way. We couldn't have let you know. I hope we won't bother you much."
He said so formally that it felt so awkward.
