My Mate's secrets (#Wattys2015)

Chapter 25

Will's POV

 After Roxxie's episode, Em was distant. Nothing I did could get her to look at me. All the time she just stared out the window and ignore everything around her. My wolf is very upset that she won't listen to us but her knows Roxxie and Em are super close like sisters. Em would be heartbroken if something terrible happens to Roxxie.

'Will' Zac mind linked me.

'Yeah' I replied.

'Roxxie's fine. I think after her shift her wolf needed her mate, me, to mark her. It has happened before a few times. The pack doctor told me. Roxxie's fine now. Just sleeping. That's all I wanted to tell you' he said.

'Thanks for the update' I replied.

After our chat, I went to Em's side. She was still staring out the window.

"Em" I said.

Still never moved.

"Roxxie's ok. She just needed to be mate. The pack doctor said it has happened before so nothing to worry about" I said.

"Really?" she asked her voice filled with sadness.

My wolf whimpered at the sound of her voice. He doesn't like our mate to be sad.

"Yeah. Zac just mind linked me. Roxxie is fine" I said.

She turned to me with tears streaming across her cheeks. I wiped the tears with my thumbs then hugged her.

"Please don't cry" I begged.

After a while she stopped and looked up at me.

"S-sorry" she stuttered.

"It's ok" I said.

"Sorry for not meeting your pack this morning. I can do it now" she said.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yeah but I need to get dressed" she replied.

"Ok" I stood up and left to go to my dad's office.

When I entered I saw the whole group there.

"Is Em ok?" Jayden asked.

"Yeah and she wants to meet the pack now" I said.

"Really?" My mom asked.

"Yeah" I said.

"Ok I'll tell the pack of the change of plans. The rest of you get ready" my dad said.

We all walked to our rooms to get ready. I dressed into a pair of jeans and a dark blue shirt. In my pack we only wear fancy clothes when we do a ball or masquerade. I went to Em's temporary room. I knocked on the door and went in when she said 'come in'.

I stood in the doorway in shock. My mate is wearing a beautiful bright green knee-length dress with black boots. The black boots show her dark nature and the dress shows her kind gentle side. Her beautiful black hair is tied up in a bun with a short strand of hair hanging on both sides of her face. Her bright eyes are shining.

"You look stunning" I said holding her in my arms.

"Thank you, Will. You look like a handsome devil" she told me.

"I'll always be your handsome devil and no one else, my love. Come my pack is waiting for you to show your pretty face at the party" I said.
We linked arms and walked toward the ball. We just having a party in the hall so lots of pack members can come in to join. The adults greeted and talked to us as we walked past them to the front of the hall. Some girls Em's age is staring at me with longing and at Em with hatred. I glare at them if I see them doing it. The packs children saw Em at a distance and came running and surrounded us. One little boy came to me and I picked him up.
