Hiding From My Mate Chapter 69
Ash didn’t need distractions if he was to catch Baku. I was a distraction, and so were the twins. He couldn’t keep pulling double duty, protect us and also search for Baku. It was taking a toll on him, mentally and emotionally. He barely slept because of the thought of having another family killed. It tormented him, and me- I couldn’t lose another family either.I closed my box of treasured memories and put it under my bed. I moved back to the crib my landlady, Shauna had generously loaned to me when I moved in two days ago. She’d also given me a job in the diner at the ground floor of the building. When I arrived she gave me a once over like she was trying to read me. She probably thought I was a teenage run away who got reckless and then pregnant. It was one of the few times I wished I could still read minds. But I was glad she didn’t ask questions, I hated it when people asked too many questions.Secrecy and privacy was something I’d always preferred since I was five. But after lea

The morning dragged on as the locals seemed to fill the diner in shifts. The five in the morning early birds were done with their breakfast by seven, then came the ones who worked locally who emptied out by nine and then the late sleepers who were mostly the older and younger age groups who had nothing else to do on a cold winter morning than to sit around in a warm establishment that also served hot tea and coffee for free. They were around and I would leave them there after my shift ended at twelve. The conversations were always the same- the weather, their kids and grandkids, their school holiday jobs how much they hated their bosses and my least favorite topic, the new people in town.I was still the small town gossip as people wondered where I came from and who I was and how amazingly strange it was that no one had gotten the low down on me yet. A family who had moved in the same time I had were already a topic exhausted as the town had all their information, down to the

“Are you okay?” Tory asked me when I stepped into the apartment.I gave her a quick smile and nod as I blinked my tears away, “I’m fine,” I whispered, “Thanks for looking after the twins.”She shrugged her shoulder as she got up from the carpet, “No biggie, they were asleep the whole time.” She skipped past me and out the door.I closed the door behind her and stood there for a second before I went to my kids. They were really asleep. I took off my jeans, sweater and my shoes and put on my sweats. My life had been confined to the insides of these four walls. I didn’t bother to go out or socialize; those weren’t the reasons I was here. My day consisted of mixing baby formula, blending fruits and watching my children and also trying not to agonize over Ash.My phone rang again and I felt my heart stopped. I walked slowly to my bed where it sat, wondering if this was the time I would answer hi

“Did you spend your night crying?” Ben’s familiar voice rang in my ears. Today I wasn’t in any mood to be joked around with. Yesterday’s conversation with my family had placed a heavier load on me. I felt like I was walking around with my own personal dark cloud. “Please, not today.” I said, arranging the sugar shakers on the counter. “I’m not trying to offend you, I’m just trying to make a new friend,” he followed me as I moved down the counter. “Who doesn’t part time as the town’s verbal tabloids.” “I don’t want friends,” I moved to the floor with sugar shakers in my hands, “and by the way, we aren’t opened yet.” He picked up five more shakers and followed behind me, “I know that. I work here.” I stopped and turned to him infuriated, “You what?” I didn’t mean to shout but it just came out. “Please don’t open a bottle of champagne on my account,” he said sarcastically walking past me. He placed the shakers on the tables before

The loud knocking on my door pulled my dwindling attention from the nature book I was reading. I walked to the door, glad for the interruption in my very silent afternoon. “Who is it?” I called out before I unlocked the door.“It’s Ben.” His voice sailed loudly through the thick door.I flinched, what was he doing here? “Didn’t we just see each other, like ten minutes ago?”“How sweet, you missed me. I thought we’d go sightseeing.”I stared at the closed door tensed for a few seconds before I opened it. I was greeted with a warm smile and excited big blue eyes. I smiled politely back at him, “It’s freezing cold outside and I highly doubt there is anything to see in this town.”“You can’t be serious?” He said walking past me and into my tiny room. I felt a little apprehensive. This was the first time he was in my room, and near my children. &l

“Hey you’re late!” Ben said to me when I rushed into the diner.“Sorry, I slept late last night,” I took the tray he handed me and walked to the table he pointed out.“The kids keep you up?” He asked serving the next table.“No, actually,” I started feeling a little shy. I didn’t want him to read into the gesture but I was a little proud of myself for the work I did. “I was up doing something for you.”He looked at me confused, “For me? Should I be worried? I haven’t written my will yet.”He walked back and I followed behind. “Don’t be silly. I said for you not against you. It’s something I hope you like.”He busied himself on the counter as he served coffee to all the mugs held out. “You are going to have to talk fast. If you haven’t noticed, everyone seems to be up early today.”I looked around the dine
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 75
The loud banging on my door in the middle of the night made me jump and the sound of the twins crying seared fear so deep inside me I could hardly breathe. I jumped out of bed and stood next to the bed, regretting why I didn’t carry my gun.“Lee, open the door! Wake up we need to leave!” Ben’s alarmed voice came from the other side of the door.“What’s going on?” I yelled back searching the room for some kind of weapon. I didn’t run from my home, away from werewolves who wanted a taste of my blood to come here and get killed by a human being. That was not happening!“I’m coming in,” Ben announced before the doorknob fell to the floor after a loud snap. “We need to leave,” he demanded picking up my bag. His voice was stern and steady but I could still hear the urgency in it.“Would you tell me what the hell is going on?” I demanded stopping him as he matched out of my
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 76
We pulled into a very well-lit street, with really high apartment blocks. There were a number of kids my age dancing to very loud music that drowned out as we drove past them. I stared after them, wondering if I would have had that life if I had made a different decision that first night I met Ash.My life wasn’t one huge party then but it wasn’t bad either. I went clubbing like any other teenager, I tempted life and fate a few times too when I participated in extreme stuff. The shooting range was my third home after Luke’s diner and I raced cars and bikes with the best of them. Sure I wasn’t jumping out of planes but I believe being chased by a bloodthirsty vengeful wolf trumps that.My sisters and I loved the adrenaline high; it was our way of running from our pasts. Probably why we dated wolves, one wrong move with them.... and we became a lot number in a cemetery.“Damn it!” Ben cursed next to me as he brought the car to a
