Forever Mates

Chapter 5

Sorry I haven't uploaded. Blame it on the homework.

This chaper is going to be short just to tell you. I have a speech I need to work on. I'm so nervous! Anyways here's chapter 5! Hope you like it:D

I pushed John off me. He fell to the ground on his back, with a loud thud.

"What was that for?" he yelled, pissed. Ha! He's pissed? I'll show him who's pissed.

"That was for not asking for my permission! Why did you do that?" I yelled.

"I needed to do it." John stood up and sat on the bed.

I shook my head and started walking to the door.

"Wait!" John called out.

I heard him get off the bed and start walking to me. He grabed me by the upper arm, and twirled me to face him.

"Are you mad?" he asked.

"No, I'm so happy. Look at me I'm jumping from joy," I said sarcastically.

"You're mad. I know you are but can we please talk about it?" he pleaded.

I thought about it for a second; it's either leave and let everyone see the mark, or talk to him. Hmm... I'll go with the last one.

"Fine, I sighed. He let go of my arm and stepped back. I walked over to the chair by his desk and sat down, with my arms crossed. He sat in the bed. "Talk."

He was about to talk but I held a hand up to stop him. "Why did you do it?" I asked him.

He looked at me in the eye, "You would've left."

"What?"

"You would've left me." he repeated.

I was confused by now. What does he mean?

"What do you mean?"

"You said, you move from place to place. You would've left me in a year or less than that. I did that so you didn't leave," he answered.

"You marked me because you were afraid of me leaving you?"

He nodded.

"Its in a year!" I exclaimed. "There was still plenty of time!"

"I was scared that you would leave early because of what happened."

"I wouldn't do that."

"Answer me something Selene--" he ignored me, "--Would you have left me if I didn't mark you and a year passed?" he asked.

I licked my lips and looked down at my hands that were on my lap. How could I answer that? Maybe I would have, maybe I wouldn't. There's more chances of me leaving; Allen never would've let me stay. And besides, if we stayed here for to long, the Midnight Pack would find us and kill us. I would never risk the life of the only family I have left. Family comes first for me.

I looked back up at John, who was watching me. I could see in his eyes that he's scared for the answer.

"Yes," I whispered.

Pain flashed in Johns eyes. I immedeatly regreted what I said. I wanted to take that pain away; the pain that I caused. I reached for his hand but he jerked it away.

"If you didn't want me, why did you kiss me?" he snapped.

I felt hurt. He thinks I don't want him?

"Its not because of that." my voice could berly go above a whisper.

"Then what?!" he roared, his eyes turning yellow. I flinched. As soon as he saw that, insaw regret in his eyes.

"Selene Im sorry," he whispered, softly.

"Will you let me explain?" I whispered. I could feel the tears in my eyes. I felt hurt, and vulnerable. I never thought that my mate would hurt me.

I remember seeing mom and dad happy all the time. They never yelled or screamed at each other. They loved each other.

I turned my head in another direction do he couldn't see the tear that had slid down my cheek. I heard him get off the bed and move closer to me. I felt so ething warm an soft in my cheek. It was John's hand.

"Dont cry. I'm sorry." he kissed my cheek, wipping the tears away. He turned my head so I could look at him.

John's georgeous blue eyes held guilt, pain, regret, and love. He rested his forehead against mine. I closed my eyes and smiled a little. It felt so good, I felt warm and protected by just having his forehead against mine.

"Please forgive me." his breath carassed my lips. I nodded and he pulled away; taking the warmth with him. I missed his forehead against mine. I grabed his hands and felt the warmth again.

"Explain." he squeezed my hands. I took a deep breath and told him everything.

I started telling him about my pack, how we were attacked by the Midnight Pack, I told him about my parents and how they died. All the time he was being quiet. I told him why we always move from place to place. I told him eveything.

When I finished I was a little out of breath. That was a lot of explaining to do.

"Thats why you move. Because of them." he was angry, I could see it in his eyes. "I'll kill them." he said through clenched teeth.

I squeezed his hand, "Please calm down John."

He closed his eyes and took deep breaths. After he seemed a little calmer I continued talking.

"Thats why I can't stay with you. If they find us, they'll kill us."

He pulled me into his lap and hugged me tightly; he started stroking my hair. "I'll never let that happen," he promised.

I rested my head on his shoulder and relaxed a little. Right now I feel pretected. I know John won't let anything happen to me, but what if they attack his pack? Will he protect me if it means loosing his pack. I don't even think he can answer that. It would be a hard choice for him. The life of his mate, or the life of his pack; which Michelle is part of. He won't let anything happen to his sister.

I know from expirience how powerful the Midnight Pack is. I don't know how strong his pack is, but if they're not strong enough, they will be defeated.

I wrapped my arms around John. I will never let him go. If I stay here with him, the Midnight Pack might find us. If they do, they'll attack his pack just to get me, my brothers, and sister. What if John gets hurt for trying to protect me? No! I would never let that happen.

"What do you want to do?" asked John. I looked up at him. He started carassing my cheek.

"I don't know."

I closed my eyes, enjoying his touch. How I always dreamt of my mate doing this to me. I've always dreamed of his soft hand carassing my cheek. I think this is the best part about having a mate. I sighed, Im going to enjoy my time here.

"Selene!" Allen's voice sounded from somewhere. My eyes shot open and I got off of John's lap. Way to ruin the moment Allen.

"You promised me you were going to spend the night here." John reminded me. Of course he would remember something like that.

"I said I was goingnto ask, I never promised."

"Please?" he pouted. He stick out his bottom lip and made his eyes wide. You know how the cat in Shrek does it? Well thats how John is doing it right now. Except for the fact that he's not a cat but a-- damn it! I'm turning like David! I shouldn't be around him anymore.

I stared at John; I almost "awed" at that moment. How could I say no to that face? It's just to cute!

"Fine," I groaned.

"Oh yes! I'm just to adorable." John smirked.

I narrowed my eyes at him. I guess cocky John is back. Oh joy, how so missed him. I walked over to the door and opened it. Now to try and convince Allen to let me stay the night.
