Saving His Broken Mate

Chapter 13

Josephine POV:

Upon entering the garden I quickly hop off of Hero's back to get closer and admire the flowers delicately. Grazing my hands across the soft pedals of the red roses, I feel the strong arms of my mate wrap around my waist creating delicious sparks.

He leans in so that his lips are right besides my ear, "follow me, love." His smooth cello voice speaks. I am so overwhelmed by the way his voice and touch makes me feel to the point where I only have enough strength and sense to nod my head. Grabbing my small hand in his large one, he leads me to the large willow tree in the middle of the garden. We sit down at the base of its massive trunk, Hero's back lays against the tree and I am sat in between his legs with my back to his chest. His arms are tightly wrapped around my waist while his face is in my neck, smelling my scent while leaving lazy soft kisses. His kisses are slow and teasing, they heat up my body and make me feel like how I felt the first time I heard him speak, like a symphony playing the most gorgeous peace of music that calms my mind while electrifying my body.

I moan in delight and close my eyes, basking in this simple moment that makes me feel so fulfilled and so warm. "After I had passed through the light..." I begin and his arms tighten even more, "I felt weak, like all my energy had been drained from my body. But despite that, I got up and faced the Moon Go- my mother and took her hand. I felt this surge of power flow through me. It was so incredibly delightful, but then I woke up in a canoe in the middle of the lake, and the only thing I wanted was you. So I brought you to me." I pause and bask in the silence for a moment, loving how Hero is letting me take my time while still encouraging me with his precious kisses and love bites, that are surely leaving marks.

"Even though I was facing away from you, I could still see you. It was weird, it felt as if I was in a hall of mirrors. I got so confused and scared, so I let you go and something in my was holding me back from retrieving you. A voice, told me I had to let you die for just a split second and then bring you back. So that's what happened. After that second of you being gone I brought you back up and awoke you. I got us back to shore where I then passed out." I finish.

He pulls his face from my neck and turns my head by lightly gripping my chin in his forefinger and thumb, placing a kiss on my lips he then says, "me and Hero really love you dear mate," Hardin says. I feel Tessa run laps in my mind full of happiness.

When she calms down she says, "and we love you, forever." Hero's black eyes fill with joyful satisfaction and I'm sure mine reflect the same.

Tessa gives me control back as does Hardin to Hero, "let's have the ceremony tomorrow," I tell him.

"Okay, and tomorrow you will also be crowned as my Luna." I smile and nod.

"Soon though we will go meet with my father and we will move into the castle and the pack can choose to either stay here or move onto the royal grounds. And don't worry this land will forever remain yours, we can visit whenever." Hero's smile grows wider and he practically tackles me to the ground, my back lays against the soft green grass as Hero pecks kisses all over my face. It's when Hero pulls back, I see he has one green eye and one black and I realize it was both Hero and Hardin showering me and Tessa in kisses.

"Hero!" Suddenly Felix's voice rings through the garden, then Felix and Kats frames appear in front of us. Hero gets off of me and we both stand up with our hands intertwined.

"Yours parents and brother are here," Kat states.

"And they don't seem to happy," Felix finishes.

I look up to Hero, his face has visibly lost all of its color, he turns to me. "Jo, Tess," he addresses us, "promise that whatever you hear when we go inside, you will let me explain." His eyes look pleading. I nod.

Just then a new voice speaks, "well if she's anything like you then I wouldn't count on that promise being kept." A smug tone echos.

I growl deeply and turn to face a slightly older man that looks really nothing like Hero, only a slight resemblance if you look hard enough. "Titan, it's a pleasure to see you," Hero says with sarcasm dripping from his tone. "What you you want?" He asks harshly.

"Oh well, we all heard about you finally finding your mate," he spits the words out, "and we wanted to come and have a chat," Hero's hand on mine clasps it tighter.

"So you didn't think to maybe call first?" Hero asks.

"Since when do we need to call first?" A new voice asks. This one is even deeper than both Hero's and Titans voice, we all turn to face a older looking Hero and a woman at his side that looks just like Hero as well.

"Father, mother" Hero's rough voice greets.

Well this isn't how I imagined meeting his parents would be like, Tess chirps. I agree with her.
