My Secret Mate

Chapter 12

Finally, I was alone with Jacob in our suite. He was laying down, reading over some papers. So I went to the restroom and changed into some lingerie. I wore a white lacy bra and thong and I brushed my hair and shook it out. I sprayed a little bit of my perfume on and lathered myself in lotion.

I walked into the room, but the lights were already off and Jacob was snoring slightly. I crawled into bed and straddled him. "Baby," I asked him. "Mmm" he groaned. "Babe, wake up, remember what tonight is supposed to be," I whispered in his ear and grabbed his hand, running it along my skin.

He pulled away and for some reason it physically made my heart hurt. "I'm tired, Vanessa, we can fuck tomorrow," he said. Fuck? Since when was our intimate encounters considered fucking? I moved off of him and to my side of the bed.

Within a minute, he was already back to sleep. But now I couldn't sleep. My wolf was howling in pain. She felt... Rejected. And I felt like nothing.

Slowly, tears rolled down my cheeks. I slowly, drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, Jacob wasn't next to me. I sighed and took a shower. Then I got ready. I wore a white pencil dress and creme stilettos. I straightened my hair and did elegant makeup. I walked out of our suite and to the breakfast lobby on the 10th floor.

A lot of people were there. I spotted Jacob, at a table with the Noon Moon pack and some girl sitting with them. She was unmated, I could tell by her scent. I went and sat between her and Jacob. I have her a slight warning look. The look that reads 'stay the fuck away from my man!' She looked down.

I looked at Jacob and I knew he could see the fire in my eyes. He held my hand, trying to comfort me but I just pulled it away. "Excuse me," I told the table and left. I took the elevator up to the roof of the castle and paced. I let the fresh air hit me and breathed in deeply.

Who the hell was that? And why was she sitting next to Jacob? I expected Jacob to follow me up here, but after an hour, I gave up that hope. What the hell was going on?

I went back to my suite, and Jacob wasn't there. He was probably at a meeting with the other men tho. So I changed into some nike pro spandex and sports bra, and my free runners. Then I went to the 5th floor, because there was a gym. Nobody else was in there, so if definitely be taking advantage of this.

I had been working out, vigorously, for two hours. Now, I was on the treadmill , running my fourth mile. This anger inside me really fueled a great workout. My body was coated in a layer of sweat, my body shined under the lights from the beads of sweat. Little hairs clung to the sides of my face.

Someone cleared their throat and I turned around to see Hercules. I smiled, lightly, and said, "hello, Hercules." He smiled and said, "good evening, Vanessa." "How did your guys meeting go," I smiled. "Very well," he smiled and got on the treadmill next to me.

He took off his shirt and I had to admit, his muscles were pretty impressive. He still wasn't Jacob though. He was trying to compete with my speed, but every time he's go higher, I would to. Being as he was huge with muscle, it made it more difficult for him to run comfortably on the machine that he made look small.

After another hour, we ended our run. "I win," I smirked. "Just this ones," he smiled and chuckled. "Oh sure, just admit it, Hercules, I'm just... Slightly more agile," I laughed. He raised his left eyebrow and said, "oh really?" I blushed at the look and laughed it off.

I grabbed my towel and phone off the machine and said, "until next time Hercules." "Until then, Bella," he smiled. "My names Vanessa," I laughed. "I know what your name is," he smirked and I walked out of the room.
