UNFATED MATES

Chapter twelve- I Love You

Larissa

I briskly walked out of Liam's office, still trying to wrap my head around the fact the fact that I got turned on because I was jealous, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but who was that girl that was in his office, Liam refused telling me anything and it's frustrating.

I made my way to class as I had two other classes before the end of the day, when I got to class the professor was already there, but he wouldn't dare say anything to me, no one dared say anything to me, everyone knew I had the eyes of the future Alpha on me, no one dared to mess with me, in as much as I hate getting everyone's attention I definitely loved Liam's attention.

Classes were over quickly and I made my way to Liam's office, he always drops me off after school, Maddy knows better than waiting behind after school.

I walked into his office without knocking, I must say I wouldn't have done this in the past but I feel so comfortable around him right now that I can do whatever I want, he had he head down and his sleeves rolled up, he was so engrossed in reading the files in front of him that I am sure he did not hear me come in, he was definitely a sight to behold, I could stare at him all day and not get tired of looking at the beautiful creature in front of me.

what was happening to me, why has Liam started becoming attractive, I frequently try to remind myself that Liam isn't mine to have, but it seems to be of no use, I just hope that I am not falling in love with him, that would be the death of me

" hey mama..... you done with lectures" he said without facing me, I thought he did not hear me come in

"how'd you know I was here? I thought you did not hear me come in" I asked going to take the sit closest to him, he chuckled and then answered

" mama you do know that I'm a werewolf right?, and I have really heightened senses mostly when it concerns you"

he replied facing me, I simply mouthed an O, I sometimes forget that I have super hearing,

I waited patiently for him to finish with whatever it was that he was doing, he quickly rounded up and we headed home.

********

Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, Liam has really been a gentle man like he promised, he has always showed me unconditional love, but I still had the feeling, this feeling that he was going to leave me when he found his true fated mate, I still felt bad that I could not reciprocate his love properly and I can tell he feels sad, I'm scared of being hurt, I only ever just wanted my mate, but I sincerely don't know what I want anymore, spending almost everyday with Liam has made me see how a man should treat a woman, he is everything I want in a man and I did not even know it, but how do I tell him? how do I tell him that I fear that we might not work, saying it in the past had been easier because I did not feel this way, but right now I'm lost I don't even know what I should do anymore

".........Rissa, Larissa" mom shouted snapping out of my thoughts

" oh hi mom didn't see you there, you need something?" I asked her sitting up straight, she took a sit besides me and held my hands in hers

" Rissa I see you and Liam and I know you're in love with him" she paused and waited for my reaction, I said nothing and continue staring at my hand in hers, I could not dispute the fact that I had feelings for him, but I did not expect mom to find out about it so soon

" I see how he looks at you and how you respond to everything he does, I've seen how excited you look whenever you meet up with him, baby I'm in no position to advice you cause my love life is a mess as you well know, but baby you know he's not you're mate and no matter how hard you try he can never be you're fated mate, Larissa I want you to end things with him please, before it's too late" I said nothing and just bowed my head and cried, I cried because I know deep down it's the right thing to do, these past few months has been the best months of my life, but maybe mom's right I need to let him go, he doesn't belong to me

Liam

I quickly get ready to pick up Rissa for our date, these past few months has been the best months of my life, she's become more comfortable and carefree around me and I've kept my promise and I've been a perfect gentle man towards her, but I just need to admit that girl has a body that can do things to a man no matter how strong-willed he is, and the sweet part about it is that she doesn't even know, she's so innocent and naive and I love her that way.

I parked in front of her house waiting for her to come out front as usual, but this time I see her sister signalling for me to come over, she looked worried

"where's Rissa?" I questioned

" she's in her room" she replied " and she's crying" that was it, that was all I needed to hear to run upstairs to her room, I didn't even bother knocking I just wanted to get to her and to help ease her pain,

" what's wrong Rissa?, who made you cry?" she didn't reply but continued sobbing

"come on Rissa tell me who the f**k messed with you and they're dead" she tapped the side of the bed and gestured me to sit, I quickly took a seat and she stared at me

" I love you Liam" what did she just say, after so many years the girl that I love finally feels the same way, I was so happy right now but I was confused why was she crying if she loved me.... I didn't have time to think before she dropped those words that shattered me

"but I don't want to be with you, you'll find your mate and you'll leave me, I've seen my mom suffer and I don't want to suffer like she's suffering, she's very unhappy and I don't want to be that way, so I just want to let you know that even though I love you I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore" she said sobbing some more, I was at a loss of words, how can she tell me that she loves me and then tell me that she doesn't want me, that's not how love works, I found myself sitting on the floor and for some reason I could not utter a word. A few minutes passed and I could finally gather some words

" Rissa please don't do this to me, I promise I'll reject my mate the moment I see her" I begged her like a child begging for candy, but the look in her eyes told me that she wasn't changing her mind, her mom walked into to room and looked at me with pitiful eyes.

"Alpha I think it's time you go home"

Her mother said gesturing for me to leave.
