"W-What?" I breathe and he pulls away from my touch
"You heard me." He sighs
"Of course I love you Jonah. You're my soulmate, my fiancé and the father of my child."
He looks down at my ring
"I forgot I even proposed." He whispers and I sigh
That stings but I understand, I forget too.
"Where on Earth is this coming from?" I frown as he can finally maintain eye contact with me
"I saw you and Zekil last night Eden, if you'd rather be with him or anyone else...I'll be okay just tell me." He sighs
"You saw? What did you see?"
"I got home and you two were asleep together."
Thank goddess he didn't see the kiss.
"We didn't have sex!" I blurt and he sighs
"I figured that out after a moment but...that's not my point." He frowns
I feel panicked, I need to protect this.
"I love you Jonah, Zekil is only my friend."
"You aren't that cuddly with Sandy." He grunts and I pout
I don't respond and he sighs
"I don't want to be with you if you don't want to be." He says and I kiss him as a desperate attempt to convince him
"Jonah I want to be with you." I say and he bites his lip
"Right."
"Cmon what else is wrong? You look exhausted." I say and rub his cheek
"I lost control last night so I didn't stay." He mumbles and I hawk
"Go to bed baby." I frown and he shakes his head
"Eden...could I see the ring?" He asks and my heart pounds
"Of course." I whisper and slip it off my finger, placing it in his palm.
I sniffle and he looks st me
"What's wrong baby?" He says, suddenly worried
"Nothing."
"I'm not taking back my proposal Eden, just thinking," he muses, running the ring through his finger tips
"Mate." I whimper
"Do you still want to marry me?"
"Of course!" I blurt and he smiles softly
"You don't love him correct?" He asks and I kiss his head
"I love you and Malik. I care about Zekil because I'm close with him and he's hurting Jonah. He doesn't have his mate, and she isn't even born yet. He's already over one hundred, can you imagine going that long without your mate? He needs help and I understand needing help...feeling alone..."
"I'm sorry." He frowns and I shake my head
"No no, I just...he's my friend. I know you don't like him but I do, but I love you. Only you."
"You know how I must feel...he's the only one who can make Malik feel better. I'm his father and I'm useless, just like I was when you were pregnant. I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted him." He groans
"But I don't. We have mates and we don't love each other." I remind him and he pulls me into his lap
He kisses me eagerly and I smile
I moan and press into him.
He pulls back gently and I press my forehead to his.
He glares at my swollen lips and tugs my waist tight to him
"Mine." He growls and I nod
"I know, I'm yours." I purr and he kisses my mark
I haven't felt this in so long, it's refreshing.
I look into his eyes and I see list swirling in them
"I've missed you baby. You're never home." I say, kissing his neck
He lets out a happy growl before replying
"I know gorgeous but I'm trying to keep the pack I order, I swear it won't be this crazy for much longer." He smiles and I nod
"So you'll be here, for me and Malik?" I breathe and he nods
"Of course." He rasps and I look at his tired eyes
"Now as I was saying, go to bed baby." I run my hand through his hair and he moans
"Mate." He says, his face heating up slightly
They nod and get up.
I slip out of his lap and bring him upstairs.
He collapses on the bed and he groans
"I miss my son." He frowns and I kiss his cheek
"When I wake you up you can see him okay? Both of my boys are exhausted." I smile and he sinks into the sheets, closing his eyes tight
Good mate.
He purrs and I check on Malik.
He's still sleeping a few feet away from his father and I smile
I hear a fizzing noise and then two arms that grip my waist.
I yip and turn around to see Zekil
"I'm sorry, I know I need to go but I wanted to show you something." He smiles and I cock my head
"Go ahead."
He grips my hand and the floor falls out from under me
I look around at the foreign scene now in front of me.
The smell of honey hangs in the air and I see Zekil.
I quickly look to my right and see Zekil again.
Is this one of his powers.
The Zekil who brought me here stares at the scene with the biggest grin on his face.
"Ally!" Zekil calls, laughing as a young boy dashes around the room
"Coming Z!" She calls
"Raik please quieten down." Zekil groans, rubbing his head
"I'm a plane!" The boy, Raik, laughs and keeps running
"That boy is going to make me start ageing again." Zekil yawns
Zekil from my time looks at me and the floor falls again
I open my eyes to see I'm still in the bedroom, Malik a step away and Jonah asleep in bed.
"What was that?" I rub my head and he places two fingers on my forehead
"Sorry, I forgot doing that can hurt you. Either way, that's my future."
"Is that your son?" He asks and he grins
"He is."
"Adorable, was that voice your mate?"
He nods again and I smile
"Good to know you don't go off and sleep with a random woman." I smirk and he chuckles
"Oh I do, I just don't knock them up." He winks and I snort
"Nice one." I smirk
"I wanted to show you, because I only just saw it after...what happened the other night."
