“Yes, what he said. That is what needs to be done.” Mason says to Asher
Braxton says “Yes, that is exactly what needs to happen”
“Yes, that is all that is going to happen,” Tyler says.
“I concur,” Tate says and smiles at Asher.
“Correct Travis, I couldn’t have said it better myself,” Dixon says.
“Don’t screw this up big brother, Jade is my best friend, and I would never forgive you if you hurt her. I won’t” Bree tells him.
“Look, I didn’t come here to fight or argue with anyone. I was just trying to let Jade know, as well as my siblings, Mason and Braxton, and whoever the rest of you are. That I AM taking this seriously, and that I accept you Jade as my mate. I, Asher Morris, future Alpha of Stone Mountain pack, accept you, Jade Devoe, of Stone Moon pack as my Luna and mate. Asher says to the table of stunned people. “Now Jade, do you accept?” Asher asks me.
I am stunned and sit there open-mouthed looking at Asher. I cannot believe he just said that. He really is serious about me. He isn’t trying to play me. But can I trust that I will be it for him? I can’t answer yes, because, in reality, he has been here less than 10 minutes. He has not had time to show me any real changes or show me that it will only be me. This feels very similar to the kind of pressure that Eric keeps giving me. I need to get out of here. I just need to leave and have some time to myself to think some of this through. I can’t be sitting here right now. I am not ready to make this kind of decision and I am getting angry with him now for putting me on the spot.
“I don’t even know you, Asher. I cannot accept that right now. I have only spoken to you for the first time today. We don’t know even know each other we only know “of” each other. Like how you are suddenly willing to accept me now that I am in an attractive package, but you DIDN’T want me when I was plus-sized. Remember that? How you knew I was your mate 6 weeks ago, but you made NO move to try to meet, or get to know me, spend any time with me, and take another girl here when I smelled your scent on Friday and you literally ran away from me to go and get Ashley and bring her here. So, yea whatever, you might not have kissed her, but you didn’t stop her from kissing you and have probably been sleeping with her or a bunch of girls like her this whole six weeks. You brought HER with you when you KNEW I was your mate. Tell me, am I wrong Asher?” I could not stop my voice from rising up to where I know the people around us heard me, but I couldn’t stop myself from continuing, “So then YOU decide that I am the one, conveniently after you see me in my bathing suit, and are ready to enter into a relationship with me. Well Great! Awesome! Wonderful! You haven’t put one thought towards me other than to avoid me for 6 freaking weeks, all because I was plus-sized, well there are a whole lot of worse things than fat that I could be: Like a liar, a cheater, an asshole, a slut, a murderer, the list goes on. So, what now? Am I just supposed to fall into your arms and let you sleep with me? Is that your plan, love me and leave me, well that isn’t happening either Asher, you disgust me, and I don’t want you coming around me any time soon. I find it amazing that you tell me as soon as you get here that I am not supposed to tell someone else I love them, and I am NOT supposed to let anyone else touch me when you have gone out of your way to do the opposite when you were the one who knew we were mates for the whole 6 weeks. Ashley had her hands all over you, but I can’t let someone hug or touch me. That is rich coming from YOU. We belong together”, I laugh, “what a fucking joke”. I am breathing way too hard, and I know that I am about to burst into tears. I am so glad I backed my bike in when I got here because I have GOT to go, right now. I stand quickly and run to the door. I don’t even stop to put my helmet on and fire my bike up. I hold my helmet between my thighs and start pulling off. I get a mile down the street and stop long enough to put it on. I need some space and I need some time alone. I am freaking out and I hear my phone start pinging with texts, and then start ringing. I can’t stop. And I don’t want to talk to him. Maybe he can keep it in his pants for a month and I can see about speaking to him then, because right now. I just feel like he is making the same fool out of me as Eric did, and it really doesn’t feel good.
I sit there stunned. No one had ever spoken to me like that. Girls fall all over me, I don’t even have to try, and they were all ok with that. What the hell?
She RAN from me. I realize what she said, she knew, she knew that I have known that she was my mate for 6 weeks and that I left and didn’t come back. She knew I was not going to originally accept her. Only Mason and Braxton knew that I had a problem with her being fat, but they didn’t know that she was my mate. So how the hell did she figure it out? She knew I was her mate and that I took off for the SUV when I was coming here, and still knowing that she was my mate that I still brought Ashley here. I am not going to be able to talk my way out of this.
I look around the table and the anger I see on everyone’s face is enough for me to want to leave. I didn’t realize that she was aware of any of this, I was hoping that I would just get a pass on the fact that she didn’t know.
I hear low growling coming from everyone at the table.
“If anything happens to her, while she is driving upset, I WILL kill you. I should never have allowed Bree to tell you where we were. If she does get hurt, it will be because of my decision, because I wanted her to be happy, and she should be happy with her mate, but you fixed that didn’t you? You killed it with your bare hands. Her heart is broken now, and you did it”. The man sitting next to me says. It is the same one that she was hugging and telling him that she loved when I got here. He was visibly upset and looked at Mason and said, “We need to go look for her, she is way too upset to be driving her bike right now, please ask the waitress to put our order in a to-go box and bring them back to the house, I have to go look for her. I can’t stay here”. He gives me a hard look and gets up from his chair.
