#Chapter46'"Tell me about mates."'******Everything was ready. Harper was supposed to come to my house at 9, when Cody would be at school and my parents would be at work.We would have total privacy and that was exactly what we needed. Me and Harper needed to talk and I was pretty sure the word Werewolf would be used quite often, and I was definitely sure my parents would not like to hear the word.Everything was set now and Harper would come here any moment. We would talk in the living room where I would clearly tell him that I wasn't in any place to start a relationship with him, not now, and maybe not ever. I would sit across from him. He would sit on the couch and I would sit on the armchair, and have the center table between us because distance between us was necessary. Completely necessary. Things happened whenever Harper was too close to me and I now knew why, because we were mates. I had already begun to accept the fact and I had no idea why. Now that I t
#Chapter47In fact, I didn't."So you mean to say, that you knew throughout this time, that there was a mate waiting for you and yet, you still slept around with every girl?" My voice raised at the end, every word dripping with venom. I didn't know where the sudden anger had come from, but it was justified. He had absolutely no right to say that he believed everything he said right now, about mates being everything to a werewolf, if it had been the truth, I wouldn't be talking to the man-whore sitting in front of me.His head dropped down in shame and I felt a weird satisfaction blossoming in my gut. He deserved to hear this. I had every right to ask this question, I may have not known about his kind or the fact that we were mates, but I sure knew what commitment was.He smiled at me and looked at me with pain in his eyes. "I have only heard stories, Zara. I have never had a good example of how mates love each other." He fidgeted nervously on the couch and I knew that he di
#Chapter48'The perks of having an alpha werewolf friend!'******"Friends hug each other, right?" Harper asked me before engulfing me in a bone crushing hug.I gasped for breath and put my arms around him, which made him relax a bit. He let me go after giving me a mischievous smile. He knew that I knew what game he was playing at.It had been two days since Harper came to my house to talk to me and I proposed to us being friends. I should have known he would have a trick up his sleeve! Why the hell would a guy want to be 'just friends' with the girl he wants to have a committed relationship with?!He messaged me when he reached my home, instead of ringing the doorbell. I had asked him to do that. I was in no mood to tell my parents why a guy I had hated a few months ago, was now giving me a lift to school, when my own car was perfectly fine.I settled in his car and buckled my seat belt, when Harper gave me a big box of chocolates with a wide grin on his face. I sig
#Chapter49I opened my mouth to speak something, anything but closed it. I wanted to tell him that after much deliberation and debating with myself, I had come to the decision that I would try being his girlfriend, but the words got stuck in my mouth. Instead, I just nodded dumbly.Harper leaned forward and pecked me on the cheek. My cheeks flamed and I couldn't stop my jaw from hanging open. "That's definitely not what friends do."He grinned and threw his hands outwards, as if embracing the world, and winked at me. "I know". With that he turned around and walked away in the direction of his class.I don't know what that class had been about, all I could think about was Harper. I wanted to be his girlfriend, he had been nothing but nice with me and I liked this side of him. I loved this side of him!I didn't care if it was too early or I was making a rash decision. We were mates and even if I didn't exactly believe in them, we were destined to be with each other and
#Chapter50'".....You're it for me and my wolf."'******"What?" My voice came out small and unsure and I looked at Harper to check if I had heard him correctly."Amanda found her mate in a hospital six months ago, battling cancer. He was already in the terminal stage and being a human, there was no way the 20 year old boy had any chances of surviving. I had already rejected you and then, seeing as she was mate-less, I chose her to be my chosen Luna."I weakly nodded. I felt sorry for her, I really did. "Did you ever sleep with her?" I asked warily, already knowing the answer in my gut.He lowered his head and nodded. Of course, why did I even ask?!I sighed, rubbing my arms. Harper walked towards me, closing the space between us even more. He cupped my face and I allowed the contact reluctantly. His hands were callused and I could feel the hard skin of his palms. He held my face and made me look up into his eyes."I don't know how else to say it, but I'm so
#Chapter51He started kissing slowly all the way to my jaw, my lips were tingling now, I just couldn't wait to taste his lips which were so skillfully giving me so much pleasure.With every kiss, I could hear my heart pound in my chest and heat flooding my body. I had stopped trying to control my moans now, it was a lost cause. With every moan and sound I made, I could sense Harper's impatience and excitement.He kissed at the corner of my mouth, which had me almost on my knees begging him to just kiss me already! I groaned again, more out of impatience than pleasure.He stopped for a while, his hot breath fanning my lips. I opened my eyes to look into the green eyes of the boy I had started to feel so much for. He cupped one of my hands with his and guided it to his chest, right above where his heart was supposed to be. I could feel the crazy and frantic beatings of his heart, the proof he was as invested into us as I was.I arched my back, my breasts pressing against h
#Chapter52'"What about the woman in my dreams?" I asked Harper.'******After we made out in the classroom till we were panting like dogs, Harper suggested we skip the rest of school. And what did I say? I said why the hell not. Harper told me that he had it all covered and that my parents would never know about it. What can I say I was feeling adventurous?! Low-key, though, this is what a bad influence looks like.But I was too pumped up to care.So, we got into Harper's car and drove straight to a diner half an hour away from school. We had pretty much the whole day to look forward to, because we had got out of school right after the second period.We had just settled in one of the booths, which could offer us privacy so that we could easily talk about him being a wolf and everything else that came with it. "So, wolves live in packs."Harper nodded in response to my statement."Wolves are social animals, just like humans. Our human side can live alone b
#Chapter53His apology was genuine, I could feel it in the seriousness of his voice and in the air around us, which was buzzing with some kind of tension. I nodded in response, not really knowing what else to say. I had promised that I would give him a chance and that was exactly what I was doing right now.Harper took a deep breath before speaking again. "After you left, I told my parents some bullshit story that you left early and then I told them that my mate was a human. Long story short, they asked me to reject you as my mate."He looked up to meet my eyes. He looked pained as if the memory of him saying those words pained him even after all these weeks. "I denied them straight away. I didn't care if my mate was a human and neither did my wolf. We just wanted to be with you.""He gave me an ultimatum. He told me if I would accept you as my mate, he would never give me the alpha position in this pack. It's in an alpha's power to pass the position to someone else if he t
