My Mate

Hope

After I told Emily that Axel’s guest was his sister she freaked out even more. I wanted to go home to get ready for dinner but I couldn’t leave her alone like this. Zayn was already dressed and looking hot as ever in a fitted black T-shirt that defined his muscles and dark jeans. He looked absolutely seducible but I couldn’t jump on him again right now I had to go see one of my best friends. Maybe later.

“I’m going to go see the girls then go home” I told Zayn

“Go home?..this is your home” He put his arms around me

“The home I grew up in” I smiled at him

“Well you grew up in this house too” I kissed his cheek and rubbed my hands up and down his arms. I better stop before things get too heated especially with the way he’s looking at me right now

“I want you to move your things here”

“Most of my things are here” I wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders he put his arms around my waist and pulled me in to him.

“Baby in two days our wing will be ready I want us to start our lives together”

“I know but that doesn’t mean we can’t sleep at my house sometimes and we have started our lives together.” He tilts his head to the side and looks at me for a few seconds then he cups my face and k****s me softly

“As long as I sleep with you every night I don’t care if we sleep here or there but eventually we are going to have to settle in one place and start a family” My heart melted when he said that. I know he wants me to move my things to our private part of the pack house but I don’t want to leave mom and dad so soon. I know that sounds childish but I know they like having me around the house. This won’t be easy for them.

“You want that don’t you” His eyes turned a shade darker as he pulled me even closer and picked me up a little I jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist

“You want me to c*m inside you again and again don’t you?” oh Goddess I was grateful he was carrying me because my legs turned to jelly and my brain all mushy as tingles shot through my body. He brought his head to the crook of my neck and placed one single wet k**s

“You want to carry my baby don’t you?”

“When I’m older of course I do” My answer came out like a whisper

“mmm I’m going to love watching your stomach grow with my pups” His voice sounded husky as he slid his hand under my shirt. A sudden knock at the door woke me up from my trance.

“Oh my Goddess that’s Emily” I shrieked pushing his hands off me. I heard him chuckle as I rushed to open the door.

“Hope come on we’re all in my room” Emily dragged me out

“Go ahead baby I have to go see Matt and Kyle anyway” He said I watched him adjusted his jeans from the front as I was being dragged out of his room.

“Oh wait Zayn” He looked back at me “I forgot to tell you I invited my friends to have dinner with us tonight.”

“OK baby whatever you want” he said and walked away

An hour later Emily was all set she wore a white floral Jacquard sleeveless mini dress with strappy white shoes that accented her long legs. She left her hair down April just helped her curl the bottom ends a little. She looked stunning! My job was done here. Emily had calmed down a little and I could go home and get ready.

On the way to my house I saw the love of my life with his brothers and Alpha Axel standing outside

“Hope!” Kyle called out

“Hey” I smiled at him

“Come give me a hug” Go hug your own mate Zayn growled and hit him in the head I shook my head at them and laughed to myself as I continued walking home.

“I’ll see you at eight sharp gentlemen”

Mom and dad were both home and already dressed for dinner “Hey princess come have some of your favorite ice cream”

“Yummm” I ran over a little too excited as he handed me a big bowl of ice cream. I sat on the couch next to mom she ran her hand through my hair

“My beautiful Hope” She said mostly to herself, I put my head on her shoulder. I love being around my parents. I feel safe and comfortable.

“Princess your mom and I want to go out for a run tomorrow morning. We would love it if you could you come out with us we haven’t seen your wolf”

“Yeah of course tell me what time and I’ll be there”

“Great hows seven am?”

“ok a bit too early for a Sunday but ok” I got up and kissed them each before going up to my room

After I took a hot shower and put lotion all over my body I walked out to my closet and went through my casual dresses. I put on my black Bodycon mini dress and thigh high boots, dried my hair straight and wore very little make up. Cat-eyeliner, mascara and some red lipstick. Just as I was about to leave my room my cell phone rang I was shocked to see the caller name

“Hi Gavin” My voice came out emotionless

“Hey Hope how have you been?”

“Good” I sat down on the edge of my bed

“Where are you?” Just then Zayn opened the door and walked in, he never bothers to knock. He took my hand and pulled me up to take a look at what I was wearing

“I’m at home but I’m kind of busy” My voice was a bit off I don’t know if it was the way Zayn was looking at me or if it was that Gavin was being creepy

“Are you too busy to go out for a drink….as friends?”

“Yeah I am actually” I looked up at Zayn he had his hands folded across his chest eyes piercing into mine. He could hear the phone call.

“Oh come on I’ve been wanting to give you a birthday gift but I hardly see you at school anymore.” Zayn still had his eyes glued on mine

“Thank you but I can’t accept it I’m sorry. Thank you though…”

“Why will your boyfriend not like it?” I didn’t like the way he asked me that but I didn’t answer him.

“I have to go bye” I hung up the phone

“Hi” I came closer to him

“Who was that?” He asked

“It was Gavin and before you get upset this is the first time he’s called me in a long time.” He stayed quiet

Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked him. He stayed quiet then took a deep breath

“How many times have I asked you to stop talking to him why did you answer his call?” His voice was calm his stare was hard.

“I don’t talk to him” I said plainly “I don’t know what would possess him to call me after I keep ignoring him”

“I wrapped my hands around his neck but he didn’t move or put his arms around me like he always did, his eyes were still dark”

“Zayn please let’s not let him ruin our evening because that would be silly. He’s nothing to me or to us. let’s go to dinner”

“Next time don’t answer his call got it?” I wanted to punch his lights out but this wasn’t the time to argue with him. I stayed quiet.

“Got it?” He asked louder raising an eyebrow at me

I glared at him “I heard you the first time. I won’t answer his call ” I huffed and walked out of my room with him on my trail. My parents were down stairs waiting for me.

“Princess you look beautiful” Dad said as he kissed my forehead I put my arm around him as we walked out of the house for the night.

The Alpha’s family and everyone who was invited were already in the private living room which was connected to the dining area. Everyone was seated around the fire and chatting comfortably. I noticed that Kyle, his mate, Jason and Emily weren’t there.

Zayn and Axel sat down near Zayn’s dad. I walked over and sat by Skylar who was sitting with Cara, Derek, April, Amy and Eric but she seemed to be off in her own world.

“Are you ok Skylar?” I asked her

“Yes ..I’m fine.. I love what your wearing” Skylar said but she kept looking around the room.

“Where are Emily and Jason?” I asked

“Jason should be here any minute” Eric answered ” But I haven’t seen Emily today”

“Last I saw Emily was when we were all in her room.” Amy said

Just then Kyle entered the room “Good evening” Kyle said as he and Carrie walked in

“Fashionably late as always” I said to Kyle and he winked at me playfully. Matt and Kyle are both like brothers to me but Kyle has this playful side that I love.

Mandy came over to me “Can we talk?” she asked me in a low voice

“Yeah of course what’s wrong?” She took my hand and we walked out to the foyer where we were alone.

“Are you ok?” She was pale

“I’m pregnant” She said

“Oh wow that’s great! Did you tell Matt?”

“No not yet he doesn’t want pups yet” I saw fear in her eyes so I hugged her tight

“Mandy he is going to be so happy I promise you this is good news”

“What if he gets mad? a week ago he said he didn’t want any yet”

“So what if he gets mad he’ll get over it. You have to tell him. Find the right time and tell him. You’ll see how happy he’ll be”

“Hey guys” Emily finally showed up

“Hey what took you so long?” I asked her

“I’m trying to be fashionably late and make a grand entrance” She said being dramatic I laughed at her and winked at Mandy.

“Well lets go back inside” Mandy said I knew she didn’t want Emily to find out anything right now. Emily can’t keep her mouth shut she would get too excited over the baby news and run in there and screaming it to everyone.

As soon as we entered the room Axel stood up and walked over like he was in a trace.

Oh my Goddess could it be I thought to myself, he grabbed Emily by the waist and picked her up they both acknowledged each other at the same time “Mine” and kissed. The room erupted into cheers and whistles. Her family and his sister crowded around them congratulating them on finding each other.

“What’s he doing here?” I heard Kyle ask he was looking at Jason who had just arrived.

“I invited him” I said Just then Skylar left her brother’s side in a rush and jumped in Jason’s arms as he attacked her lips. I couldn’t help the big smile across my face I was happy for Emily but way more for Jason for obvious reasons.

“What are the chances of you and you sister finding mates from the same pack?” Matt said everyone was so happy even my grumpy alpha. Jason and Axel shook hands Emily’s parents were so happy all their children had found their destined mates.

“Congratulations Skylar Jason is a great guy” I said looking at him. All our friends crowded around Jason and his mate. “Finally” Derek said “Now maybe he’ll stop being such an a*s” We all laughed at him Jason couldn’t care less he kissed his mate again. he was finally happy and that made me happy.
