The Teased Mate (𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 #1)

Chapter Two

Happiness fills the air when I open my eyes and he isn't here at all. A part of me is freaking out because he is known for doing compulsive things, hence the string of one-night stands. Then I remember he has work early in the morning so I should probably thank him later for letting me sleep in. I hardly ever get to so it feels nice to even get a few extra minutes.

I then walk into my bathroom and get ready. He left his shirt, so maybe I can wear it today since I want to be comfortable. We are working on renovating this room into a gaming room for my siblings. Mom originally was going to keep it mine, but I knew my brothers would despise me for it. I have always had my room, but it has always been covered in their things. At this point, my room is their natural habitat.
Recently I bought a PlayStation 4 for them last Christmas and mom bought two gaming chairs, which they fight over. Milo is always crying and throwing fits about it so we made a schedule for them. We do the same for bath time and their school work along with time set aside for reading and storytime for the little ones. I grab all my bedding and throw it onto the floor in a big heaping pile.

I then turn my bed back into a couch pushing it out of the room. Then laying tarps out so I can paint the room blue.
His tee shirt is black and, I can put a paint poncho over it.

I paint the first coat of the room blue and let it dry, my mom left so I sit on the couch with paint on my hair and, on my face.

I turn the TV on hoping to find reruns of a teen wolf on MTV and successfully there is

Anthony hates it but I find the way humans portray us cute. Especially when Dylan O Brian is in it. Drifting off I fall asleep and wake up to my brother's running around me. One decides to jump on me to get me to wake up. Which they succeed at, with their extremely painful methods.

Pushing them off of me and then deciding to go for a jog.
I take a shower and put on my gear, and I just run out the door. I love running especially on cooler days like this. On days like this, I can clear my head. Running until I feel like my lungs are going to collapse. I sit down for a second and run to a lake nearby. It has a park, with a water fountain near it. I find it and then drink as much water as I can. I decide to keep running forward, because why the hell not?

The sun is almost completely down before, I stop again. One car passes me, and I am so glad it didn't stop because I can get paranoid out here. I don't notice this time and where I have gone, so, I call my mom. She picks up after the second ring. I suck at using GPS and it never works right. Glancing at it I notice I am three miles north of my home.

"Hey mom can you pick me up, I think I might have twisted my ankle." She gets off and quickly says something to someone and then says,

"Honey I am sending someone now." She hangs up and I sit there rubbing my ankle.

NO FUCKING WAY, MOM!!

Why would she send my fucking mate? He pulled up out of nowhere and knew exactly where I was. You see when he found out we were mates, I was the last one to know. He told his parents, my brother, my mother and then he left me in the dark until a Sunday dinner, the day after I asked my mom if I could go on one fucking-singular date.

Of course, the answer was a big fat no, so I threw a fit, why would my brother date and I couldn't? I cried and cried that day.

I threw the cloth napkin and went upstairs. The most popular boy in my grade asked me out and I had to tell him no.

My mother then talked with me, that she already knew who my mate was. Lone fucking behold, he was my brother's best friend and he saw how much I wanted to date and invited me to a pity date. Which I ran away from, I escaped through a kitchen vent. I was forced to say yes, and to sign a contract that day, never to be more than 25 miles from my mate. They even put a tracker on my phone like I was on probation. Telling a teenage girl to do that they end up rebelling even more. Which I tried, failed a lot.

"I will take my chances walking," I say coldly just getting off the curb limping a little as I walk. There is a sharp pain in my ankle before, I whimper in pain. I try to hide the whimper by laughing and making it look like I am okay.

"You are that stubborn, aren't you?" He says to himself, while I make very little progress anywhere.

"Just get in the fucking car Dianna, now!" He yells as I attempt to speed walk away from him. I can hear a few big steps, before, I am thrown over his shoulder, cursing as I hit him.

"You asshole put me down!" I keep hitting him making no damage at all and then I hear him chuckle. He walks me to the car and all I can see is his big ass. I bite it as hard as I can and he puts me down.

"You drew blood, just get into the car now!" He yells startling me.

"I asked you to put me down, so desperate measures call for desperate times, and biting your ass was the only way for you to put me down. I would gladly do it again if you ever decide to do that again." I stop myself before, I can say I want to bite his ass again or even more so saying, I would gladly enjoy doing it.

"If you would stay with me you wouldn't be hurt!" He attempts to defend himself. I may be hurt physically, but emotionally I am hurt by him all the damn time.

"Fine." I walk up to him and decide to Fuck with his wolf. I look at his face in the dark the moon giving his jawline a nice glow. My wolf almost purrs, but I stop her.

"What are your plans with us?" I ask as his eyes widen like he has thought about it before. His dark blue eyes look straight into mine, that's when I notice the specks of green in them. He doesn't say anything and I just sigh.

"Let me guess you want me to move in with you, to magically fall into your arm and become some kind of dream mate. Well, you thought wrong because I never wanted this."

"Tomorrow, I will look for my place, I can't move in with you right now. I am so sorry, we should try to make us work out better, you got to live your teenage years dating, having a life. I never got that, now I want my space. I will get a decent job and we can start over." I get into his truck and he gets into the other side.

The whole car ride is completely silent until he breaks the silence.

"If you ever need anything, you can always call me. I will be there, always."

I nod and say, "I know, that is what I like about you."

We pull up at my house and say goodnight. He carries me in and drops me off on the couch. Since it hurts so much to walk. He goes and grabs some ice, and I thank him as he hands it to me.

I thank him and he leaves. I then put ice on my ankle. My heart beating at an abnormally fast pace now.

I do like him, but I just need time to process everything. Time is something I hope we do have since my parents got so little.
