“Colton…” I start to rebuff him, but he doesn’t let me loose as easily as he put me down.
“We can’t ignore how we feel about each other. That we’re meant to be.” It’s a hint of desperation in his ravaged tone, mirroring my urges, his jaw tensing and squaring off which only makes those irresistible dimples prominent and those lowering brows bring out the cute boy face. Leaning closer and making it harder to breathe when my senses are filled with him. It sparks that self-defense mechanism in me though, that urge to run far away before he cripples me again, and I slide my hands between us and push him away with enough force to get him to release me.
“Why not? You did!” I bite, stepping back coldly, as his hold drops and the sweep of hurt and regret is evident on that flawless face. It tugs at me, slicing my own heart with a sharp stab but I don’t weaken, pushing my pain and agony away and refusing to break.? If he thinks he can be mated elsewhere but still have a side chick so he doesn’t have to live with the mistake, then he can go to hell. I won’t be some dirty secret that has to steal moments with him, and share him with her, just because he didn’t manage to break our bond in taking another. I’m not doing this, no matter how much I yearn for him, or how much I still love him. I have more respect for myself than that and I won’t be one of those wolves who bring shame upon themselves by committing adultery with a mated, even if we were destined.
He broke this, not me. He made his choice, no matter what his reasons were. It can’t be undone.
“You’re angry, and hurt, and upset…. all valid, and I understand why. If you need time to forgive me, then I’m not going anywhere. I’m not giving up. I need you, and I’ll earn your forgiveness, no matter what it takes.” Colton back in serious, soft faced, high school, hot boy mode, and I shake it off.
I ignore him, trying to blot out words that wound me to the core and turn to walk away, but he catches me by the wrist and stops me in my tracks. Tugging me back slightly and igniting further fury. Burning searing touch that was invented to torture me by being both the best feeling in the world, and the worst. That bubbling temper begins to dominate the pit of my stomach but before I can turn to tell him to back off, my thoughts are interrupted with a high voltage distraction.
“
Chica!!” Meadow comes bounding from seemingly nowhere, darting at me like a lioness pouncing its prey, like a freight train and a tornado all in one, and sweeps between us, hauling me off my feet in a bear hug that momentarily dazes me, and spins me around with alarming strength for a girl shorter than me. “
Dios m?o, ni?a, te extra??
“
She smothers me in Latino love, squeezes me so my ribs almost crack under the strain and then dumps me on my feet and grabs me by the face with an insane clutch like grip. She starts kissing me all over the cheeks, nose, and forehead, like an overbearing momma, and it’s a furious fast barrage that doesn’t give me a second to counteract. I can only screw my eyes shut, pucker up my face to protect my poor features and accept this ambush while trying to unhook her fingers around my cheeks before she leaves bruises. She’s strong and persistent with her very aggressive affection.
“Mead….ddd…oowww” I try and wriggle free of those claw-like hands and the lipstick smeared attack on my face, giggling wildly at the ridiculousness, but she’s relentless. Finally, once I’m sure every inch of my face is in matching rouge red from her lips, she lets me loose.
“Oh my god, my baby girl, she’s come to me and now I can die happy, knowing my
Chica is home.” She’s being overdramatic, her accent heavier than usual with the surge of emotion she’s spewing. She’s still holding me in her arms, but I have to say the feeling is mutual. I’ve never been so happy to see another femme in my life, as her. I throw myself at her for a second hug, this time one I can actually participate in and she squeezes me once more, so I get to wrap my arms around he properly.
I can tell Colton has moved away, as his invasive presence releases the strangle hold on my heart and a quick glance tells me they’re at the rear, removing his mother’s bed as members of the pack move into help. There’s a lot of chatter as people figure out who’s coming out of the truck and I can feel the whispers spreading through the pack as the atmosphere is charged with shock and excitement. I can see some pulling out the machines and cabinet and putting ramps in place. A hive of activity over there, with the doctor directing with that unique accent of his above the drone, issuing orders to his new mass of helpers.
“Let me look at you.” Meadow drags my attention back to her, pushes me back to arm’s length and even though its dark out here, lights from the pretty huge and towering house, standing tall in front of us, illuminates this area enough that we can see each other with clarity. That was the light which hurt my eyes when I woke up.
