Alpha's Mate - Daughter of the moon

Chapter 8

I found myself once again alone, giving up wondering around the seemingly endless hallways trying to find the person who clearly didn't want to be found, and despite how I tried to not let it bother me, I began to feel the familiar burn in my eyes once more as I blinked away tears, refusing to let a man have this power over me.

It had been four days since the tree house incident and weylyn had been avoiding me like the plague ever since. At first, it hadn't been too bad but by now I felt as if I was begging to go slightly delirious, I had heard my mother talk about something like this before when I was younger.
Vague memories of a mated pair being separated going through symptoms similar to withdrawal and in the most severe scenarios, death.

How fun.

I let out a scream of irritation, a hot pain shooting through my hand, drawing my attention to how it was now covered in blood and cut up glass shards and that the previously firmly shut window now, well, opened.

I cursed my mother, knowing it would royally piss her off and almost instantly regretted it as I realised that I no longer had my goddess abilities and I would heal from this the human way, as I had come to call it.

Can my life get any better? I thought to myself as I shuffled over to the bathroom and began rummaging around for a first aid kit under the sink.

A moment later, my thoughts were answered.

Apparently, they can.

There was nothing under the sink apart from toothpaste and shampoo. Why does anyone need so much of these two things I will never know but apparently that's the only important thing whoever stocked this room thought off.

Well, they probably weren't expecting anyone to start smashing windows now we're they? A whisper of my mother's voice trickled through my mind, causing me to snarl.

Get out of my head mother.

Resigning from useless searching and beginning to really feel the pain of my hand, I weighed my options before overcoming my pride and exiting my room, following the unfortunately familiar route to my oh so amazing mates office. I knew he was here, his scent was practically spilling from under the door as I lifted my hand to knock on the large oak frame, however before my small fist could mate contact, the door swung open, revealing my seemingly frantic sleep deprived mate

"You're hurt." He stated, causing my eyes to widen. "Why are you hurt?", he continued scanning my figure until he found the source of the blood, gently picking up my hand like a wounded animal before pushing his door open further and tugging me in gently.

"Explain", he grunted

"The window needs fixing", I muttered in response, unwilling to say anything more to the man who had clearly been avoiding me.

He raised a brow but said nothing as he lead me into an on-suite bathroom that was apparently a necessity to have in an office, and with what appeared to be second nature, expertly located a first aid kit from under the sink.

I yelped quietly as two strong hands lifted me up onto the edge of the sink before he began removing the glass shards from my sliced flesh, making sure not to leave any behind. I watched him with fascination as a new, caring side of my mate appeared, one that I had seen briefly a few times before but never seemed to stay around for long.

All too soon he was bandaging my hand and lifting me off the counter.
"All done."  He mumbled, turning to leave once more causing desperation rising in my chest

"Why do you hate me?" I begged

He froze his back muscles tensing.

I bit my lip, anxiously awaiting his reply, my heart pounding in my chest as if I had just run a marathon. 

"I don't hate you, you appear to be the one who hates me. I have always known I was unloveable, but seeing my own soulmate attempting to jump out of a tree to end her life and be rid of me was quite the slap in the face." 

I stood frozen, a million thoughts rushing through my head. one, two three, the seconds ticked by as I felt the blood draining from my face in shock as I became almost numb to my surroundings, feeling my body move on auto piolet like there was a magnet dragging me towards my morning mate. 

I watched from some distant corner of my mind as my small, pale hand reached up to the hard plane of his back, feeling how the muscles tensed and shifted beneath it. his headshot over his should before his body followed suit, my hand now resting directly over his steadily beating heartbeat. I placed my other hand next to my first, clinging onto the fabric of his shirt as if it were the only thing holding me there at that moment

"No no no... you have it all wrong." i mumbled, my words slurring over each other in my shock. "i had been there for so long, I was sca- scared and, and so cold and I dint know wa- what else to do I waited for you wey, I p-prom-ise but I was just so scared and, and-"

my rambling was cut off as I found myself being crushed into a warm chest, the scent of pine and ocean breeze filling my scenes caused me to instantly melt into him as warm salty tears began streaming down my face. "I'm so -so sorry" I sobbed miserably, my eyes staring into his ocean blue eyes.

"no, my dear mate, it is I who should be apologising, I didn't give you a chance to defend yourself, I have failed as a mate," he whispered hoarsely, tears brimming his eyes as his voice grew thick with emotion. 

his arms held me tightly to him, his large hands holding my back securely as my own arms were crushed against his chest allowing his rich scent to envelop me and I could feel his breath tickling my neck, suggesting he was also doing the same as me and simply enjoying the calming effect to being surrounded by your mate.

a thought began tugging on my mind and after a few moments, I decided to voice my question rather hesitantly. "Weylyn, I was wondering, and its totally fine if you don't want me to but I really don't like being away from you 'cause it makes me feel funny so I was wondering if maybe I could... err, you know maybe possibly, share a room with you? it's okay if you do-"

"I would love nothing more than to be able to share my room with you, mate." he smiled warmly down at me, causing a strange feeling to swell in my stomach, something new that I had never felt before and couldn't name, but strangely enough, I liked it.
