Mutated Mate [it will be edited...at some point in my life, doubtfully]

chapter 27

I woke up to Jules foot in my face and Mel’s legs across mine. They had decided to stay the night since we couldn’t stop talking till it was too late for them to go home, Uncle Jack only too happy for me to be acting like a normal teenage girl for once. He probably would’ve been okay with me sneaking out and going clubbing if I tried it.

I got out of bed, not to gracefully since I managed to kick Jules face and roll onto Mel, and stomped downstairs, pouring me a coffee. During the night I must’ve opened the bond since I could feel Adrian’s emotions. He was bright and happy, also highly amused at something. Whipping my head to look out the window, I saw him in our backyard, a comical look on his face.

I opened the window and leaned out, “Can I help you?”

“Oh you already have” he grinned and he leaned in and held the stainless steel toaster up to my face. In the reflection I saw a giant, red, foot-print on my left cheek.

Gasping, I ran to the hallway and looked into the mirror. There in bright red was the perfect outline of a foot, toes and all. “JULEEEEEES!” I yelled up the stairs “you better run and hide because I’m going to kill you!”

I heard Adrian laughing behind me to I turned and whacked his arm. “It’s not funny” I pouted.

“Oh I think it’s rather cute. Now what were you saying about helping me before?” as he pulled me into arms “cuz’ I can think of one way you can” and he pressed his lips hard into mine.

I whined when he pulled away but stepped back to reveal a single cobalt blue rose.

“It’s not as pretty as your eyes but it’ll do” I just about melted at that. “Now go get dressed we’re going out”

I pivoted on my heel and took a step towards the stairs only to feel Adrian spank my ass and walk away chuckling.

Entering my room I headed for my closet, making sure to step on Jules face, who had very conveniently, somehow ended up on the floor. Mel giggled and I winked at her. Dressing in tight black skinnies and a pink bustier with lace sleeves, I jogged downstairs to see Mel and Adrian awkwardly standing next to each other, Mel red, head bowed and Adrian powerful and confident.

I pushed Adrian’s chest “What did you do to her, poor thing looks terrified”

“I was just congratulating her on her choice of mate. Soloman is a good man” he said, his voice a lot deeper than usual.

“Aha” I replied, quirking an eyebrow “sure sure. So where we off too?”

“Get Sara, Why don’t you meet me by your bike” he grinned sneakily.

Once he left, Mel immediately relaxed, and I looked at her questioningly.

“What? He’s just a bit scary. Those ears and teeth!” she shivered and I looked at her questioningly.

“What? Okaaaay well the ears are kinda cute” she huffed.

I snickered, grabbed an apple and skipped to the front yard to admire my mate, who looked sexy leaning on my bike.

I held my hand out for the keys but he just winked. He picked me up and placed me on the bike “Why don’t I drive” he murmured into my ear and I inhaled sharply. As he got on, I thought back to the day when we went to the circus. I had driven. He had been shy and reserved, insecure. Though I had cared about him then too, I had to bring out the adventurous side in him, now he was the confident, dominating one. A pure Alpha. The man I love.

He revved the engine and took off. I grabbed onto his waist quickly as he took a sharp turn, heading towards town. I placed my head onto his back, sighing in pleasure. Heavens this was where I was meant to be.

Before long we were on the dirt pathway leading to Grams cottage. Adrian parked in front of her house but didn’t get off. I looked back pointedly and saw him hesitate “I. I haven’t seen her. Not since-“he cut off, his eyes darkening “she was the one person who stuck by me, and I made her leave. What if she doesn’t want to see me?”

My gaze softened and I took a step towards him…only to be pushed out the way as a blurry figure ran past me

“Oh hunny look at you! You’re finally here. I knew she could do it. Oh I’ve missed you so”

My jaw slackened as I saw Adrian’s head in Grams hands as she hugged and kissed him all over, an expression of horror on his face.

“Don’t you ever go and do that again. You are a good boy; I don’t want no dark spirits in my home ever again. You make sure you stick to my rules boy; I’m too old to be relocating in my age. Although I do rather like this cottage, it’s so warm and homely, and Sara has been keeping me company. Goodness look at you you’ve grown! When did you do that? Oh my sweet Adrian. Leah! Leah my darling where are you”

 My eyes widened as she turned her gaze on me, I started to run but she caught me anyway “oh sweetheart I knew you could do it. it was the dress wasn’t it? Oh, I knew it! I knew it! This is just wonderful news, and look! You’re mated! Welcome to the family. Oh I just have to call Sylvia, we should go out and celebrate” her voice trailed off as she went back into the house.

Adrian and I both stood there looking at where she disappeared, too shocked to do anything. Eventually we both looked at each other and I started laughing. Full-blown-on-the-floor-laughing.

“Well… well that was interesting” I said sobering up “What were you worried about again?”

He ignored my teasing, a small smile on his face. He picked me up from the ground and hugged me, obviously relieved. I felt how happy and proud he was, he was finally feeling the love he always deserved.

“Hey! I want a hug too!” a loud voice interrupted and we broke apart to look at Sara. She had on a fluorescent pink t shirt and ran to Adrian’s arms when he opened for her.

Smiling down at them I felt I had a new family. Albeit it half a family, but more than what I had when I first moved here. Sara stepped back and looked at me, her arms wide open.

I bent down and pulled her into my arms, only for a shock of current to go through where our fingers connected. Surprised I let go, and looked at her. She had a blank expression on her face, her eyes were clouded and she was staring straight through me.

“Sara?” I grabbed her arms and she jolted awake. “What happened?” I questioned.

Her face quickly furrowed in concern

“Something’s wrong”
