Evelyn's POV
Just as I was about to take a seat, I felt an arm on my shoulder.
"Evelyn," I stiffened at instance as I recognized whose voice it was.
I stood up snapping my head back in shock. Hugging him tight as I shamelessly let the tears stream down my face.
"C-Cole...?" I questioned, still confused as to what he was doing here.
"Aww Eve, I missed you.." he said returning the same bone crushing hug.
"And what is this? Why are you crying babe?" he questioned rubbing soothing circles on my back and wiping off a few of my tears in process.
"What are you doing here, Cole?" I asked slightly pulling out of his grip around my waist.
"Your dear mate has called Xander to discuss a few things..." what things might he have to discuss with Xander? I held back the thought just satisfied that at least someone is here that I can talk too.
I simply nodded and dragged him outside the cafeteria getting some confused looks from people, but I could honestly care less at the moment.
We made our way outside to the bleachers and once we got there we casually set letting silence take over us.However, cutting the silence Cole spoke up.
"Wanna talk about it, Eve?"Inhaling deeply, I slowly nodded and then began with everything that had happened formerly since the moment I returned.
"Oh what a slut!" was his retort once I finished my story.
"But I'm pretty sure Shane can explain it better no? I mean I know what you're going through, but just give him a chance to explain his side of the story?"
"But- I did let him explain, but-"
"No, you gave him a chance to speak, but didn't listen to his side by letting him finish. How will you ever know, Eve if you don't listen to his part?" well, he had a point there, but what could be a possible explanation to that?
"Cole, it's not easy you know? I don't know... it's complicated to just go upto him and talk now...I mean, what's the most I can say or ask anyways..? Shane, I know we are not exactly on good terms...we are more like on and off or what? What are we? or what do you want us to be or what can be the possible explanation to why you were with that skank? What more can I ask Cole? " I whispered the last part signing heavily. Just before I can utter anything more-
"Yes, that's exactly what you ask." My eyes went wide with complete shock as shiver and sparks erupted to run through my body. I snap my head back at instant only to find Shane standing there, his muscular arms crossed over his broad defined chest as clear disappointment flashed through his eyes.
"Shane..I..I-" I trailed, but didn't know what to really say even.
"Don't. Just don't say anything, Evelyn. You know you can talk to me straight up being blunt as you are to others and oh" he shifted his gaze to Cole now, who was watching us with a mischevious smirk on his face.. "to our beta friend here. Always loves flattering around my mate doesn't he" nothing but bitterness dripped as those words escaped his mouth.
"Cole was just being supportive!" I stated quietly, yet defensivly.
"Oh I see, but you know? I'm here for that and I, the Alpha, called him here for some business not to kill his time. Right beta?" He questioned emphasizing the term 'alpha' looking at Cole raising his one eyebrow, glaring. Oh jeezz if a glare could kill Cole would be six feet under by now.
"Well if you'll excuse me now I got to get going to my Alpha, but do think about what I said, Eve" Cole stated winking at me, mischief clear as crystal in his voice as he spoke. However, Shane didn't seem to acknowledge the mischief in his tone because he pulled me to his side at instant growling possessively at Cole.
Once Cole was out of site, Shane just pushed me back slightly before taking his hands off my waist, leaving me there feeling cold as I lost his embrace. I felt my wolf whimper as our mate turned away from us and this time I'll admit, I felt the need of being in his embrace at instance.
"Shane..." I called for him... my voice lower than a whisper. He didn't even bulge. I walked upto him standing right in front of him, but he was still just standing there as stiff as a statue.
"SHANE!" I yelled shaking him. As he looked down at me, I regretted ever doing that cuz of his cold, emotionless expression.
I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I think this was happening too often now. I felt Shane's muscles relax under my touch however, I didn't dare to look up this time, but the next thing he did shocked me.
He pulled me into a bone crushing hug placing his face in the crook of my neck inhaling my scent as I did the same.
'No one can comfort us like our mate' my wolf added proudly. She's right.I don't even know after how long we pulled back and just stood there staring into each others eyes. However, I needed to step up my game so I chose to finally speak up.
"Look, Shane... I'm sorry I couldn't come up straight to you, but can you blame me? See-seeing you with Stacy drove me insane cuz here, I'll be blunt alright?" inhaling deeply I continued with my confession "seeing you with her drove me insane, I-I felt worthless. Like I'm not needed here... giving you another chance then seeing you with her... I just couldn't handle it and-"
"And so you can open up with that Beta, but not me?" his words stabbed me right into my heart.
"No I...I just told him how I felt...I didn't know what we are or what you want us to be after that moment in the kitchen..."
"Really? So please care to explain what he meant when he said 'think about it, Eve'?"
"He was just trying to tease you...all he told me was to open upto you and to hear you out..." I stated truthfully.
"Oh. So, that's why you're telling me all this now? Because he suggested so?"
Now he was testing my patience.
"NO. I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU DAMMIT." I screamed at his face. His eyebrows raised as I saw the corner of lips twitch upwards, but I don't care I was fuming now and I had no intentions in holding back my emotions. I fucking wanted my mate and I don't care what anyone has to say.Taking a step closer I pushed his chest hard causing him to slightly stumble back with astonishment.
"I FUCKING LOVE YOU WHAT DON'T YOU GET? AFTER EVERYTHING YOU HAVE CAUSED ME, I WAS STILL NEVER GOING TO REJECT YOU. SEEING YOU WITH OTHER SLUT MAKES ME FEEL WORTHLESS AND I'VE HAD ENOUGH NOW. ENOUGH OF EVERYONE'S BULLSHIT. I LOVE YOU, I WANT YOU I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT PAST ALRIGHT? I just want you... I want my mate... I want my Shane..." I whispered those last words and by now I was breathing heavily. I felt my wolf overjoyed as I saw amusement clear on Shane's face. And let me tell you what! Letting your emotions out does feel good than bottling them up to yourself.
"Whoahh! That-" Ugh I wanna lash that smirk off his face "was sexy."
"What the -"
He gently placed his hands on either side of my face stepping even closer before simply chuckling.
"Now that's my girl. I was just kidding. I love you too baby. A lot more than you know."
He stated as our faces were just inches away from each others...
