Chapter 44
~Mark~
MATE! MATE! MATE! MATE!
Stop, Cato! You have to stop.
I want mate. Go to mate. I throw a wall up to block my wolf. He is going to give me a splitting headache, and I have to think. I have to figure out what to do because this is crazy.
So the apples and cinnamon sent that I detected earlier belongs to my mate, and my mate is Jenna. Oh, my f**king Goddess! What type of horrible turn of events is this? This woman doesn't want me. She is out to replace my best friend. How can she be mated to me? Why would the Moon Goddess think it's a good idea for her and me to be together? I know I don’t know her personally, but just looking at her actions tells me more than I need to know.
"MARK?!" I whip my head toward Lincoln, who is in shaking a hand in my face. Landon is looking at me with concern and sympathy. “Are you okay, man? What's going on with you?"
“Isn't it obvious, Linc? Mark has found his mate.”
“Mark, what the hell?”
“Where am 12"
“You're on the porch, at home. Why are you passed out? What happened?” So I made it home. I have no idea how I did that, but I'm glad I did. I struggle to sit up with Lynn's help. I put my head in my hands and just breathe. “What's up with you, Mark?” I have to talk about this. I can’t just ignore it. I have to try to trust Lynn with this.
“Lynn, I have to talk to you. I have to tell you something, but you have to swear to keep it to yourself.” Lynn looks at me with confusion. “I'm serious Lynn. You can't talk about this to anyone, especially Tia.” Lynn slowly nods at me. I shake my head. I grab Lynn's shoulders. “No, I need to hear you say it. I nee you to promise me....promise me you won't say anything. PROMISE ME!"
"Okay Mark, f**k! I won't tell anyone, I swear.” I sigh and swallow the lump in my throat.
“I... found my mate today.” A smile springs onto Lynn's face.
“That's wonderful Mark! OMG! Mom and dad will be so excited. Who is she? What's her name? What's she -*
“It's Jenna. Jenna is my mate.”
"WHAT. THE. F**K?!"
