Soul Mate

Chapter 28

River Blair.

" You seem happy." Greta comments the moment I walk out the kitchen. I fasten my apron and grab a wash cloth, ready to wipe the unoccupied tables.

"You say it like it's a bad thing."

"Oh quite the contrary.. I was tired of seeing you mopping around. It was sad and pathetic." She says.

Goddess! This girl could be mean at times.
I narrow my eyes at her.

" Am your sister. Am supposed to tell you the hard stuff. So don't give me that look! Besides, that was putting it lightly. The truth is you were like a pale ghost haunting the corridors of the cabin in search of your lost love." she adds, then goes back to painting her nails.
I scowl at her. Then stomp off to do my job.

"The walking dead!" Zane's voice goes off in my head.

" Don't you dare!! You were practically weeping and wailing in my head like a damsel and now you have the nerve to talk?? You should be ashamed of yourself!" I angrily point out.

" It's called howling. Not weeping!"

"Same thing!" I snap.

These two were out to dampen my mood but I refuse.
I start to wipe the tables, effectively blocking them out. All I had to do was focus on Sebastian.
Thank goddess he had finally resurfaced..
I honestly couldn't deal with another of his disappearing acts. Not after being scented anyway.
And if it had come to that, I would have hunted him down and dragged him back by the hair!

Who am I kidding!

Here's what would have happened...
I would have died! Drowned in my own tears.
Pathetic I know. But Greta doesn't need to know that.
Am startled out of my thoughts when someone taps my shoulder.
I quickly turn and almost head butt Archer. I immediately step back only to hit the table.

" Don't you know anything about personal space?" I ask, as I side step him, And take a seat in the nearby booth. Archer follows suit. Business was slow today, so I could take a much needed break.

"Since when do we respect each other's space? And What crawled up your ass and died anyway?"

" Nothing.. I was finally happy but then Greta and zane had to be bitchy about it. And where have you been!?

Archer had been missing in action for awhile now. I'd just let his absence slide because I was too caught up with Sebastian.

" Oh.. so you noticed! I was out and about. Visited an aunty out of town. Besides you didn't expect me to trail you around while you were out gallivanting with Alpha sexy.. did you?"

" I wasn't gallivanting!" I snap.

Archer simply grins.
" So what was it? Gave daddy all the juices??"

What the fuck!

I look at him, and we both burst out laughing.

" And I thought my language was crude!" I say as I try to catch my breath.

" You must have done something.. you smell powerful! The kind of scent the alpha family carries with them. Or should I say Sebastian."

" He scented me." I say, a smile finding its way to my face.

" Wow! Now that is what I call progress. Give it another two weeks and you'll be marked. I've given you that long because you're slow. Mates by now are usually mated. No time to waste trying to woo each other."

" Why does everyone think am the slow one! Couldn't it be Sebastian?" I ask incredulously.

Archer just gives me a dull look.

" Sorry to break it to you love but Sebastian is anything but slow. He must be putting out all the fuck signs but you're probably not getting the signals."

I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.
Was I really that oblivious? I would have noticed if Sebastian wanted to seal the deal right?
I mean I've never had sex but I think I can tell when someone wants to get it on with me.

" You wouldn't even see sex coming from a few feet away." Zane comments.

I scrunch my nose up in confusion at his statement.

" Wipe that look off your face. You look constipated!" Archer says.
My face flashes with mild anger... everyone was being brutal today!

"Why is everyone being mean today??" I whine.

Archer simply snorts..

" No one is being mean, you're just sensitive. Don't take it personal. We love you like crazy." " I need to pick up my dad's order. He's busy training the warriors with Nate. Apparently there's a raid that's about to go down." he adds.

" A raid? Here?" I ask already about to panic.

" Not here. They are going to raid some pack up north I think. That's all my dad could tell me. The Alpha asked him to train a few warriors."

Archer's dad is a warrior wolf, which means he is one too but the guy has no single fighting bone in his body. Trust me. He would see a fight and run the other way. And it didn't help that he was like a twig.

" I thought this is information you would know since your in cahoots with Alpha sexy."

I roll my eyes..

" I better get going." he says as he gets out of the booth. He walks to me and pecks my cheek.
" Bye love. Mind link me when you want some advise on how to get some mind-blowing gay action!"

Then he winks at me and walks over to Greta at the counter.
And am left with my mouth wide open.
I really needed to up my game if everyone, including my wolf by the way, thought I was too slow when it comes to matters of the bedroom.

Oh sweet goddess!! What if Sebastian thought that too??
And he just didn't want to tell me for fear of wounding my pride.
Am sure the guy was overly experienced, he probably had a gold medal stucked somewhere in his room to remind him of his sexual prowess.
And here I am with no real knowledge on how to even give head!
I sigh.

Everyone is right. Am absolutely clueless.
