Love conquers all

Chapter 14. You are not Mate!?



The days leading up to Nathan’s birthday had passed quickly, by way of saying quickly. There had been so many moments when I thought we couldn’t resist lust; instead, between cheerful breakfasts, guided tours, wonderful places, packed lunches, delicious dinners, the evening before his birthday had arrived.

I was in front of the mirror and while the girls finished dressing, I brushed my hair thinking about when midnight would arrive. Being human had always made me question the possibility of having a Mate. It was very painful but I had somehow overcome it; with the discovery of the tumor I had even thought of having to die as a virgin. In that moment I realized that instead I had the chances of a Mate and losing my virginity in just one small step.

“Can I brush your hair?” Andrea asked me, stopping my hand holding the brush. I nodded in response and let her take the brush.

“What is your tangled mind working on?”

“It’s not tangled! I was thinking about the possibility of really being Nathan’s Mate.”

“Have you talked about what’s going to happen either way?”

“He’s sure I’m his Mate, but in case he’s not he told me he’ll want to be by my side anyway.”

“The bond that binds the Mates is a very strong feeling, almost impossible to avoid. If he is your Mate it will be wonderful, but if he is not, he can be next to you, yes, but if he find his Mate it will be nothing more than just a friend. ” Put it in that way, those thoughts hurt me a lot. In a month I had bonded with Nathan so deeply, I told him I love you so spontaneously, that now thinking about the possibility of not being his Mate and losing everything we had built… Suddenly I felt the air fail.

“I have to go out and get some air.”

“Myra ...” Andrea said my name trying to stop me, but taking my jacket I was already outside the door.

I ran down the corridor and down the two flights of stairs, desperate for fresh air. When I reached the exit I took long breaths of clean air, placing my hands on my knees; it was like I had been in apnea the whole time. When my breathing returned to normal I started walking towards the flower field, it reminded me of my favorite place at home and I hoped it would help me think positively. I stretched out in the grass with my gaze turned to the blue night sky, studded with a myriad of bright stars and silence reigned supreme. I don’t know how long I lay there. In the distance I heard the thundering footsteps of a werewolf, but stood still in exactly the same spot.

Falco.

His wet muzzle sniffed my neck and shivers of pleasure flooded my body. I stroked his soft fur and told him to lie down next to me, but he barked back. Soon after he started spinning in circles, it was like he was excited about something I couldn’t understand. I sat up and asked him, “Shift, I have to talk to Nathan.” He didn’t wait for me to repeated it twice, only a few seconds Nathan was naked in front of my curious eyes. As he strode towards me I could not help but admire his perfect body.

He kissed me greedily, stroking my body with both hands. When he pulled away from my lips he flung himself onto my neck and took a deep breath, whispering, “Mate.” My heart was pounding beyond belief, perhaps I had heard bad.

“What did you say?”

“You are my Mate, Myra!” I don’t know why, but at that moment, I started crying.

I am his Mate.

I am his Mate.

I am his Mate.

I could keep repeating it over and over, I was his Mate. I was Nathan’s Mate. I was overjoyed and immensely sad at the same time, happy to be a Mate, his Mate and sad that in three months I would have to make him suffer. I was crying, no I was sobbing and he held me tightly in his arms, I felt loved and complete.

“Stop crying now, little bird!” He said to me after a while, looking me straight in the eye.

“Show me that wonderful smile of yours!” He asked as he helped me wipe away the tears with both thumbs of his hands.

“I’ll take you to your room, the girls were looking for you, Falco was almost crazy when I didn’t find you. He took over, he was like he knew where you were and he found you.”

“You are naked!” I exclaimed, looking down. I thought it was going to intimidate me, or be embarrassing, but that was: exciting. He came dangerously close, we had our faces a few inches from each other, when Nathan with a mischievous grin and a low and deep voice said to me: “From the scent I smell right now, I would say that it makes you very aroused. ” If I wasn’t embarrassed before, at that moment I was, I felt my cheeks go up in flames. He chuckled and said: “We have to get to a spot where Walter has some clothes for me.”

“How did you know I’m your Mate?” I asked as we walked to the hotel.

“When we got close to the flower field we started to smell a wonderful, sweet scent, one of those that excite your body, your soul and you could never do without it. Soon after we noticed you lying among the flowers, we approached and it was your sent. Falco couldn’t stop howling with joy and saying over and over: “Mate, Mate, Mate.” I chuckled, thinking that I too had reacted the same way.

“What scent do I have?” I asked curiously, he stopped, slowly approached my neck, took a deep breath and said: “Peach and Frangipani.” A tear fell involuntarily, what a strange fate was mine! Was I allergic to peaches and was my scent peachy? The most irritating thing was that I couldn’t smell it.

“Why this lonely tear?”

“Nothing, just nonsense.”

“No, it’s not a stupid thing if you drop a tear.”

“I love peaches, I’m allergic to peaches, and my scent is peaches? What a joke this is, and I can’t even smell it!” Nathan started laughing out loud and I pouted at him.

“I told you it was stupid and now you laugh at me!” I exclaimed, crossing my arms over my chest and turning my back at him. Nathan approached me hugging me from behind and spoke close to my ear: “I’m not laughing at you, little bird! I’m laughing at the situation, you have to admit it’s a bit comical.” I couldn’t pretend to be offended with him for very long so a smile appeared on my lips and he began to kiss me all over and finally turned me in. In that position, I looked at his eyes that had a new light, they were bright full of love and passion.

“I have an idea. Tomorrow I’ll take you to a place.”

“What idea? Where do you have to take me?”

“You’re always so curious, but I won’t tell you anything.”

“Please, give me a clue, please;” I told him, pleading with sweet eyes and a curled lower lip, trying to inspire tenderness and receive information.

“Little bird, you are very, very pretty and you make me tenderness so... I’ll tell you that tomorrow, I’ll take you somewhere.”

“But you already said this!”

“Exactly, that was what I can say.”

“Okay, I’m used to waiting.”

“True, but tomorrow has arrived, it’s only a matter of hours now.” True it was already his birthday and in the meantime we had reached the point where Walter had left a tracksuit for Nathan.

We remained silent, walking hand in hand all the way to the front door of my room. Nathan kissed me on the lips and then held me in his arms, inhaling my perfume.

“Happy birthday, Mate!” I exclaimed near his ear kissing his neck and felt him tremble for a moment.

“Thank you, little bird.”

“Now go, you’re cold and shivering!” I didn’t understand why he giggled at that statement.

“What did I say funny?”

“I’m not cold, on the contrary I’m on fire. You kissed me where you should mark me, if you were a she-wolf ...”

“Unfortunately…”

“I know and it’s not a problem for me, it’s just that it’s very sensitive, when you touch me I feel sparks ignite on my skin. When you kissed my neck I was instantly aroused. My whole body went hot.”

“I too feel shivers of pleasure when you touch me, but I will never be able to feel what you feel, sparks for example.” I don’t know what I would have given to try, even one day, those sparks of the Mate bond.

“Show me your wonderful smile, which otherwise I can’t go away.”

While I was smiling we heard the door to the room swing open and the girls scream: “Happy birthday!” It had all been so sudden that I jumped into Nathan’s arms in fright. He chuckled at the scene gently replied: “Thank you so much girls!”

“So what do you have to tell me? Did you have confirmation?” Abby asked super excited and curious.

Nathan and I looked at each other for a moment and then answered in chorus: “Yes!”

“Oh my God, yes what? Yes, you are Mate. Or yes, you are not Mate?”

“We are Mate!”

“Are you sure?” Aurora asked with a smile ready to light up.

“Yes, I am. Falco couldn’t stop repeating Mate.”

“I knew it, my instincts are never wrong!” Abby said proudly.

“I want to know how it happened?” Andrea asked curiously.

“But we’re in the hotel corridor late at night.”

“So let’s go inside then!” Abby said in a tone that she expressed the obviousness in person.

“I’m going, see you tomorrow girls!” Nathan greeted them, immediately turning his attention to me.

“Good night, Little Bird!”

“Good night!” He let go and I let go of his hand reluctantly, as if there was something that bound us deeply. For some strange reason it hurt to watch him go, even though he was a few rooms away, a few meters away, at the end of the corridor, it didn’t matter. My body, my heart, my soul, didn’t want to let him go but to keep him close, very, very close.
