Soul Mate

Chapter 15

River's pov

"You didn't have to drive me guys. I' LL be okay. It's not like am going to meet the grim reaper in the woods. It's just Sebastian." I say to Bay and Greta. They had insisted on driving me here.

" The fact that you're meeting him is more reason for us to stick around. He could slit your throat with a claw and stuff you in a body bag!" Bay says seriously.

"Sweet goddess Bay! What kind of movies are you watching??" I exclaim
"Criminal minds." Greta says on her behalf as she scrolls through her phone.

"You should try it.. it's really good! Shows you how messed up the mind can be." Bay adds with a creepy smile on her face. I shudder as I eye the dark park.

Criminal indeed.

We are currently parked in Bay's drive way. A few cabins from the park.
" You guys should head in, I'll be fine." I say as I get out of the car. They follow suit.

" We aren't that far from the park. Just yell and we'll be there. I don't trust him one bit. He's acting shady. I mean he asked you to meet him in the park.. at 8!!! Who does that??" Bay says

" That's your future Alpha you know.." I say, trying to act unaffected.

" Many people that end up dead are killed by people they know and trust." Greta states matter of factly.
Why they were talking about murder was beyond me.

" I've got pepper spray around here somewhere incase everything goes south and you need to run. " Bay says as she rummages around in her purse.
I roll my eyes. This girl was too much.

" The fact that I can't shift doesn't mean I can't defend myself! Now go." I snap as I turn and walk away. I don't look back but head straight for the park.

Now that am alone am starting to rethink this meeting. A part of me thinks he's going to officially reject me and am scared to death. A wolf rarely survives a rejection.  It was a death sentence. I didn't want to die yet, not like this anyways. Zane had been silent since the dinner. I could feel how scared he was even though he didn't voice it out. If this was a rejection meeting I really didn't know how I would take it. I was so nervous my palms were sweating.
Goddess help me.

Before I know it, am entering the park. I walk slowly following the little pathways lit up by lamps. They made the place look magical.
I look towards the benches and he isn't there. I decide to follow the path to the rose gardens and when I get there, I see him standing by the fountain, his back turned to me. I must have made a sound because his head immediately turns to look behind him. Then he fully turns around and slowly walks towards me, his hands in his pockets. I don't move from my position, am too chicken to do so.
He stops right in front of me.
I keep my stare down and head bowed. One, bowing is a sign of respect and two, I can't bring myself to look at him. I didn't want to see the disgust on his face.
He's silent for too long. I decide to break the ice.

" If the reason you asked to meet up is to reject me, I accept."
What the fuck was I saying!!!
Stupid mouth!
That wasn't what I planned to say for fucks sake!
I must be more nervous than I thought if am now talking rubbish.

" Who says am going to reject you?" he asks
And my breath catches in my throat.
His voice! Goddess!
It was deep and husky like he just got out of bed. I almost orgasmed right then.
It was doing things to me.
I needed to focus!

" Isn't that why you asked to meet?" I ask

" Have you found what your looking for down there?" he asks instead.
" What?" I say as I lift my head to look at him.
He lets out a soft chuckle. And the sound was sexy as fuck! No one had the right to sound that good. It should be illegal!

" You were looking down, thought maybe you lost some thing."
Not only is he handsome but witty too. I think to myself.
Now that am looking at him, I take my time to really look at him. I'd never been this close to him. I could see every detail on his face. From his light stubble to the captivating blue of his eyes. They were drawing me in and all I could do was get lost in them. This guy was gorgeous!

"You're staring." he says softly.
I blush and quickly avert my gaze.

"Sorry" I mutter.
He's silent for a couple of seconds then says

" Am sorry I left without saying anything. I just had alot to sort out and alot going on. I know it's no excuse but I was hoping you could forgive me." he says
I did understand his reasons, I just hoped he had told me before skipping town.

" You didn't give me a chance Sebastian. I know you were dealing with stuff but you could have at least said something to me. I was left to deal with not knowing. I didn't know what was going to happen, or if I was being rejected." I say. I could feel my eyes start to water.
I was getting emotional.
I sniff and look away.

" Am sorry. I really am. Which is why am here now. I want to fix this. I know I wronged you and am going to do everything I can to fix this" he says quietly.

I search his face, trying to gauge whether he was being sincere or just messing with me.
He looked sorry enough. I just didn't quite understand what he was getting at.

" What are you trying to say?" I ask softly.

" What am trying to say Blair is that am willing to give this a shot. If you'll have me." He looks me straight in the eyes as he says this.
My eyes widened a fraction and I feel my eyes begin to glow.

Holy shit!
