Chapter 43 - Her Adorable Confession That Blew My Mind

>>Yohan

“Don’t lie to me.” Roxy said while she stood in the lounge of my house, “I know she isn’t here. I can’t smell her at all.” She glared at me, “Meaning she hasn’t been home for days.”

“...” I looked away while I sat on the couch next to the window. I couldn’t argue with her, of course her scent is completely gone from the house. To be fair, she’s human and humans don’t leave much of their scent behind since they don’t have pheromones like us.

“Yohan!” She called my name, “Look at me you fool!” I didn’t, “The full moon is right around the corner! Your rut will start then, if you don’t have a partner it’ll be painful for you!”

“...” I sighed, “I know…” I turned my head to face her, “But what do you expect me to do? I’ve already met my mate, my wolf won’t allow me to sleep with anyone else.”

“Yohan…” She sighed, “When you’re in rut your partner wouldn’t matter, you’re not mated. You know that, that period is only for what the body wants.”

I turned my head away again, “We’ll see when the time comes.”

“Oh really? What are you going to do then? Jerk yourself off? That won’t help at all!”

…

God! This girl has no decency.

I turned my face towards her when I heard her approach me, “I’m really angry.” She said as she stood right in front of me.

“Why?”

“You could have told her about this.”

I shook my head, “That wasn’t even an option.” I glanced at the ceiling, “I-”

She shut me up by placing her index finger on my lips, “You’re hopeless.” She shook her head at me then turned her head back.

I did the same because we both heard the lock on the front door being opened.

A familiar scent entered along with that person and it was sort of surprising.

Maya popped her head in the lounge and paused. Her original expressions showed that she was nervous, but as soon as she saw us that changed. She got angry and stomped her way to us, pushed Roxy away from me, wrapped her arms around my head and pulled me in her embrace.

“What are you doing!” She growled at Roxy, “Don’t you dare touch him.” Her words seemed so possessive that it sort of made me happy and for the early few seconds I didn’t realize I was in a very blissful position, right in her bosom.

“Hey, I didn’t do anything.” Roxy retaliated.

“Yeah, I saw.” Maya answered with clear sarcasm.

“What did you see? Me standing next to him?”

“You standing very very near him, with your face even closer to him! Don’t you even dare try.” She glared at her

Roxy glared back, “You sure have a knack for misunderstanding things.”

“Seems like you like creating them.”

I don’t know why but it felt like the room had grown somewhat cold, there was an icy tension in the air but I didn’t want to move from my position.

I had been blessed with some nice soft melons that smelled so sweet while squeezing me, no guy would want to leave that, definitely not me. Especially not this embrace.

“Oh?” Roxy started, “No wonders you cause so much trouble. If it weren’t for the mate bond, no guy would ever want you.”

“Oh guess I’m lucky then! I got myself such a snac while yours probably saw you and left even with the mate bond present.”

“You little bitch-” Roxy was ready to rip Maya’s skin off and the situation was getting out of hand.

I had to intervene at this point.

“Wait!” I got out of Maya’s embrace and stood between the two before they got to grab each other's hair, “It is a misunderstanding.” I looked at Maya, “Roxy wasn’t attempting to do anything, she was just worried.” I glanced at Roxy, “You can leave, I’ll take care of the situation.”

“Excuse you!” She gritted her teeth, “Did you hear how she insulted me? And you want me to just leave?”

I turned around, “Roxy please. Let’s not complicate this. Think about it. If you ever see your mate with someone else you’ll get mad too. All was said in the heat of the moment.” I made sure I kept distance between the two, “Peace please?”

I darted my eyes between the two while they both ignored my presence and continued to glare at each other like predators.

This isn’t working.

I looked at Roxy, “Please?” I stood in front of Maya and covered her with my body forcing Roxy to look at me, “In return I’ll buy you dinner some time? Or a bag or shoes whatever?”

She stared at me for a few seconds and it sort of nerve wrecking for some reason, “Fine.” She finally said and backed away, “Only because it’s you.” She stated and turned on her heels to leave.

I took a breath of relief as she left but then I was suddenly attacked by another piercing gaze. I looked back and saw Maya glaring at me with her eyes wide open.

“Why would you buy her dinner?” She stated, “Does that make any sense? A bag? Shoes?”

“Uh, um, well- I just said that to calm her down. There’s no other meaning behind it. She’s just a friend.”

“A friend with benefits.” Her glare somehow got even more pricky.

“Was,” I stated, “We’re no longer like that.”

“I don’t understand. How can you be friends after all that? Seems fishy.” Her tone of voice was very strange, as if she was mocking me with every word.

Jealous girls are scary….

“Maybe I should never meet her again?”

“Why are you asking me?” Her eyes were scary as well, like they were going to suck away all of my soul.

“I’m ending it here, I will never see her again.” I said, “I mean I have no reason to. Not even one. Absolutely not. Never.”

“Right!” She smiled and was normal right the next moment.

I relaxed as the strange storm on me finally passed but then something suddenly clicked in my mind. I looked at Maya while she happily went and sat down on the couch.

“Say,” I started while she picked up the magazine on the table, ‘Why did you suddenly decide to come back? I thought you hated wolves.”

There was silence for a few moments but I could tell she was thinking about what to say.

She gave me a quick glance then looked back at the magazine in her hands, “I’m making an exception for you.” She cleared her throat, “Just because it’s you.” She pouted her lips while avoiding my gaze.

It was adorable and her words made me really happy. No, beyond happy.

“Moreover-” She started and I looked at her again, “I can’t bear the thought of you being with someone else.”

“Why would I be with someone else? You’re my mate. My lifetime partner.”

“But during that time it wouldn’t matter if you’re not mated with your mate.” Her voice got lower but I still understood her.

“Hm?”

“And besides,” She pulled the magazine over half her mouth, til her nose, “ I can’t bear the thought of you doing it with someone else.”

...

Wait. Wait wait wait wait wait! What!!??

No wait!

Am I thinking about the right thing? Wait! Calm down! Calm down, she could be talking about something else.

Let’s calm down. Don’t go berserk without any reason.

“What?” I asked in a gentle tone.

“...” She peeked at me, her gaze running between me and the ground beneath her feet for a while till she finally decided to speak, “It’s.” She pulled the magazine even higher up to cover her blushing cheeks, “It’s mating season.” Her voice was very low but thank God I was a werewolf, I heard her clearly.

I heard her very clearly but it wasn’t good for my heart, it started racing like crazy as I heard her speak. I had to clench my fists to keep myself in place.

She said mating season. She said that! I didn’t hear it wrong!

Oh God my heart!

“And.” She glanced at me again and I gulped, “I want to do it with you.”

Something in my mind blew up.

A volcanic explosion.

It erupted and destroyed everything inside along with my ability to think.
