The Invisible Mate

Chapter 6

Not Edited*

I hadn't seen Damon in a couple of days. But I always felt like I was being watched. I tried to go check on Sam, but I could never make it past the guards.

The things Damon said were drowning me. Every time I thought about them, it became hard to breath. He wants me, but he doesn't want me. It's utterly confusing.

I haven't been out of my room very much. No one really cares about my whereabouts. I come out for meals, and get stared down by Bree.

The other day I actually glared back at her. My wolf had taken some control and wanted her to submit. Audrey knew she was a Luna and wanted to challenge Bree.

I quickly reeled her in before anything really bad happened. Bree was a great fighter, and I didn't stand a chance against her. She took or mate. I'll kill her. I shook my head. We have never trained before. There was never a need to train since I stayed in the house.

Time seemed to fly by with all the drama going on. It was soon summer and school was over. I graduated with honors.

When the others were receiving their diplomas, they all had someone cheering for them. When I got mine, not a peep was heard. I knew that would happen, but I didn't think it'd hurt so bad.

I still haven't decided what I want to do with the rest of my life. I don't have a mate holding me back. I could travel or go on vacation. All of that cost money. Audrey was right, I don't have a penny to my name.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a harsh knock on the door. With an idea of who it might be, I hesitantly opened the door.

Damon bust through the doorway and started pacing around my room.

"Excuse me! This is my room!" My voice was loud and he shrugged it off. He then mumble something so preposterous that I thought I didn't hear it right. "What did you say?"

"I broke up with Bree!" He screamed. I was shocked. The thing I wanted most finally happened. So why wasn't I happy?

"I broke up with her because all I want is you." I shook my head no multiple times. "You are it for me. I was wrong to reject you. You aren't weak at all. I was the weak one."

I had no words. This can't be real. I didn't see this coming at all.

"Please say something!"

"What do you want me to say? Thank you? I didn't ask for this. Sure, I wanted you to accept me. After everything that has happened, I can't just start loving you." My words took a minute to sink in and his face dropped.

"But you're my mate. We were made for each other. Please, give me another chance! You won't regret it." I sit down on my bed and contemplate everything he is saying. Can I even trust him?

"It won't be easy. You'll have to earn my trust." My next words broke his new found smile. "We can start as friends."

"Friends?"

"We are not skipping steps. You brought this on yourself." He sits down on the bed next to me.

"I wish I could take it all back." His head is hung low. "I didn't realize how important you really were. Bree was never meant for me. She has a mate out there too."

"So you did this for her. So she doesn't have to be put through what I'm going through?" Rage was boiling within me. "This wasn't about me. It never was!" I bolt up and start pacing. "You want yourself to feel better and her to not be in pain!"

"Fine! You're right. But I want us to work!" Damon went to grab my arm, but I pulled away.

"No, you don't want to be alone." He doesn't know how to be alone. He had Bree for as long as I can remember.

"I want you." Damon stated. I could tell he was getting angry. He eyes started to change and his fangs were growing.

"You can't have me."

"Like hell I can't!" Damon grabs me by the waist, and sparks shoot through me. His lips start to kiss mine roughly. I can't hold my wolf back, so she starts to take control.

My body betrays me, and the scent of arousal fills the small room. I know he can smell it. He finally pulls back. We are both breathing heavily and pressed together.

Damon leans in and whispers into my ear, "I'll have you, even if I have to tie you to my bed." He pulls away from my ear. I'm blushing and he notices. He smirks at me, "You'll soon be begging me to tie you to the bed." Once again, Damon is overly confident.

Without another word, he leaves my room, leaving me flustered and shocked. I knew I shouldn't have kissed him back. But it felt amazing! Audrey was right, but I wish she wasn't.

I sit down on my bed and ponder. My thoughts go haywire when I think about Damon. I think about what would happen to me if I did accept him. You'd be Luna. Do I want to be Luna? I'd no longer be in my personal bubble. I'd have to attend pack events and talk to strangers. But you'd have Damon to help you. Damon only broke up with Bree because he didn't want to see her go through what I'm going through! Audrey shut up after that.

It's not surprising my life changed in a matter of minutes. The Moon Goddess must like playing games with me.

Damon is still on my mind when I try to fall asleep. Could he ever actually love me? Or would he always love Bree a little more than me?

I finally fall asleep with the subject of my thoughts haunting my dreams.
