Chapter 11

"The goddess must be having a great laugh right now at my expense." Hannah was pacing back and forth, furious.

"Hey, it could be worse." She stopped dead in her tracks and looked me dead in the eyes.

"Okay, no need to kill me with your looks..." I put my hand up, waving an imaginary white flag.

"I'm sorry. I just thought my mate would be different." She sighed and dropped her head in defeat. She sat on the floor beside the door where her mate was sound asleep.

"I can hear her heartbeat, and it soothes me, her scent is intoxicating, the way the sparks electrified me when I carried her to the bedroom, she's beautiful. I feel betrayed, Lorie." She put her head into her hands. I sighed and put my hand on her shoulder.

"I get what you mean when you say you feel like you've been betrayed. You waited centuries for her, and she didn't, plus not even a week ago, she was naked in my mate's bed. My first impression of her is horrible, but maybe now that she found you, she's a different person. Also, Lorie?" She took a deep breath and wiped a tear, and lightly chuckled.

"Sorry, it just seems we are on a nickname basis now. But, yeah, don't remind me. The thought of her with someone else pisses me off." Hers flickered from her normal Hazel to white, then black, before returning to their natural color.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side. You are scary." I bumped my shoulder into hers, and we both laughed.

"Come on, let's go get some dessert and watch something while we wait for her to wake up." I got up and reached out my hand, offering to help pull her up. Smiled and grabbed my hand.

We made our way back downstairs to the kitchen to get dessert. After we grabbed what we wanted, we went up to my bedroom to watch something on the T.V. We settled on watching The Office. Finding out she was a huge Office fan was a huge bonus for me. I soon heard a knock on my door, and both Hannah and I called outcome in with our mouths full.

"Hey... Oh." In walked Noor. She looked amused.

"Hannah, could you please go down and answer some questions?" She looked at her and clenched her jaw. I could tell she has some ill feelings towards Noor, which I totally get; I still have some towards Naiomi. Well, more than some if I'm honest.

"Right away, your royal highness." She said with sarcasm and defiance. She walked out, and it seemed Noor picked up on the disrespect and was about to go after Hannah, but I stopped her.

"No, leave her be. She has every right to be upset with you. She did just find out that Naiomi is her mate and you two fucked for centuries." I shoveled more of my cheesecake into my mouth while she looked at me with her mouth agape.

"Well, more people have companions nowadays. I'm sure she understands." I rolled my eyes.

"Hold old, are you? And what about Naiomi?" She looked at me as if wondering if this is relevant.

"Four hundred and fifty-six and Naiomi is a few years younger than me; why?" I hummed.

"Well... Hannah is almost five hundred and thirty-two years old, and she's never taken on a companion. She has completely waited for her mate. So finding out she was naked in another woman's bed, who already has a mate, I might add, makes her feel like she's been betrayed." Noor looked at me, shocked.

"That's a very long time to wait." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I guess." She looked at me with her arms crossed.

"As if you're a virgin." I laughed at this.

"You're right; I'm not. I'm not going to be a hypocrite here. I don't really care if you slept with someone else; what I care about was that you couldn't choose between her or me." Her face fell, realizing that she still fucked up. I don't understand why she keeps thinking everything is perfectly fine and forgotten when it's not.
