Chapter 15
Gamma Jose Gomez - POV
I felt my heart skip a beat when Adella walked out of her room. “Well, I am glad that my magic worked.” her friend said, breaking the trance I was in. She walked towards Adella and pulled her into a hug before letting her go. “Enjoy your day, Gamma Gomez,” she said, and I only nodded before Adella and I walked out of her house.
“Adella, I will wait for you in my car outside the pack borders. Can you walk and come there?” I asked her, and this made a frown appear on her face. I thought that she might question my decision, but a small smile appeared on her face, and she nodded her head.
“Sure, I will meet you in a while,” she said. I walked towards the pack house and took my car before leaving the pack. I waited a few meters away from the pack border, and a couple of minutes later, she came there.
“Shall we go?” I asked her once she was inside, and she nodded her head. “Who was that woman who was in your house earlier?” I asked her.
“That's my best friend, Summer.”
“I just want to tell you something.” I began, and from my peripheral view, I saw her attention was focused on me. “For the time being, please don't tell anyone about our relationship, Adella.”
“Oh, why is that?” she asked me.
“I want to spend some time with you alone. Get to know you better before everyone knows that we are a thing. You know, I want to express a lot of things to you.” the lie came out so smoothly, which astonished me.
“Oh, if that is what you want, I guess I can keep a secret too. I guess it would be fun, Jose,” she said with an innocent smile on her face. My hands around the stirring wheel tightened while I felt like someone stabbed me in my heart.
“Thank you,” I told her, and she nodded her head before she turned her attention back to the road ahead.
“Where are we going?”
“I just planned about going to the movies and then to have lunch outside. How does that sound?” I asked her, nervous that she wouldn't like it. Elena hates going to the movies with me, even though I enjoy watching my favorite movies on the big screen.
“That sounds great, I have always wanted to go and watch a movie at the theatre.”
“Haven't you gone to the theater before?” I asked her.
“No, I didn't really have the time to go, even though Summer would force me to come. But once she had found her mate, she didn't really have much time to spend with me, but I'm fine with it.”
“You could have gone to a movie alone, right?” I asked her, and she shook her head.
“That would not be fun,” she said. The rest of the journey went by with Adella doing most of the talking. She told me about her school life, and how Summer was the only friend that she had. “It was depressing at times. But I came to a point where I understood that it is always better to have one loyal friend with you than a hundred fake ones.”
“How did you turn out to be this sweet after everything that you had gone through?” the question just popped out of my mouth. I was about to apologize when I saw a soft smile on her face.
“My wolf was one of my biggest companions. She would always tell me that the Moon Goddess would only test someone to a certain extent, and if they came out of that with a huge smile on their face, a bright future would be waiting for them. Which was finding my mate.” her words pricked my conscience.
“Adella, I…”
“Look how big the movie theatre is.” Adella interrupted me, and that was when I realized that we had already reached our destination. I parked my car in the parking lot, got down, and guided Adella into the cinema. She was awestruck the entire time. I guess I will explain everything to her once we go back home, I don't want to spoil her mood.
This was the first time that I have enjoyed going to the movies. Adella and I laughed a lot, shared jokes, and commented on the characters. We walked out of there, and I took her to a restaurant nearby. “That was so much fun. We should do that more often,” she said, and I nodded my head before we made our way back to my car and left the human town.
I stopped my car a few meters away from the pack border. “Did you enjoy today?” I asked Adella, and she had this beautiful smile on her face, that melted my heart.
“Thank you so much for making this day magical for me, Jose.”
“Adella, I have to tell you something,” I told her. I guess it is better to end this right now than to lead her on in this fake relationship any longer.
“Adella, even though you are an omega, I have never seen this much vigor and willpower on anyone else.” her eyes lit up like stars, and it pained my heart to tell her the truth. “But I…”
Ring ring.
I was interrupted by her phone ringing. “I am sorry, I will…”
No, please take it.” I told her, and she nodded her head and answered the call.
“Hmm, I will be back soon,” she said before she disconnected the call.
“I am sorry about that. But I have to go now. Summer wants to meet me urgently.” she told me in an apologetic tone.
“That's all right. Go ahead.” I told her, and she quickly got out of my car and closed the door before she walked to my side. I rolled down my window.
“Thank you once again for everything, Jose,” she said before she leaned in and pulled me into an unexpected kiss.
