As I enter the room with my towel hanging low on my hips.
I look down at my feet this time not as a sign of submission but of embarrassment.
I have no clue what to say I totally forgot about the mate bond thing I think as I mentally kick myself.
“Jake what’s the matter you seem uneasy talk to me” Ella says I can tell she is trying to be extra gentle with me just by the way she spoke.
Next thing I know I am crying why am I crying oh god she’s going to think I’m emotionally unstable.
I frantically wipe my tears off of my face as they fall faster than I can keep up.
All while whimpering sorry..I guess my first mate really did a number on me.
Before another tear can even fall she has me in her arms cooing softly sweet nothings into my ear.
How isn’t she judging me right now instead of judging me she’s holding me no one but my best friend,brother and pack member accepted me.
Not my parents or first mate she starts to pull away and I’m just not ready to face her or Eli’s possibly judging eyes.
But I just do as she wants but I keep my head hanging as low as possible she grabs my chin making me look at her.
She asked once again “what’s wrong why are you crying what’s the matter baby boy talk to me”
For a second I can’t believe that she’s this sweet and caring.
I hate to open this big can of worms on her but I feel like she truly want to help so I start from when I first realized my mate was my best friend.
“I know this isn’t ideal for you since I am your one and only mate so we don’t need to talk about it but I know you truly want to help”
She nods listening closely.
“ let’s start with when I met her I was over the moon because we were best friends!
she knew I was submissive and even helped me research information she was so supportive.
Then my birthday came up I’m about 3 years older than her so we couldn’t tell that we were mates.
We’d joke her and there how crazy it’ll be for us to be mates,I jokingly said wha if we were mates and she said she’d know everything anyways we both laugh and continued to joke and hang out then on her birthday she and I found out that we were well mates.” While I say all of this I can’t tell what she’s thinking but she let me continue to talk.
“We looked at each other in shock but I was excited along was the pack we didn’t know that my best friend since I was little would reject me but she grabbed my hand leading me away I remember the sparks going up my arms and the excitement of being mates with my best friend I didn’t know it would turn out this way” I start to cry again while she wipes my tears away.
“ she slapped me telling me she didn’t want a submissive useless mate I thought if I if I let her beat me she’d accept me but she still rejected me she spat on me I never felt that amount of pain not only did my best friend rejected me but my mate” as I finish my story I hear sniffles so I decided to meet her eyes fully and she’s in tears but only continues to wipe my tears away forgetting about herself in that moment I felt hope again that I haven’t felt in months..
Now we are both sat here crying about my pain,the fact that she’s being so empathetic amazes me.
Ella speaking snapped me out of my trance.
“It’s getting lates my love we’ve had a long day let’s get some rest.
She get in bed patting the spot next to her I follow her instructions and climb in allowing her to pull me closer.
Then I felt myself fall into a deep sleep man I never knew crying so much could make you exhausted.
