Darkness

Delilah Pov

Wes kissed me with such passion. I guess he missed me too. I wrapped my legs around his body. He held me tight. His kiss intensified and I began to tug on his shorts.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes," I said softly. He lifted me up and slowly let me glide down on his hard c**k. It broke me in more ways than one. What I was doing was neither wrong nor right. He held onto my ass as he pushed into me. I felt good but it was also a big sin we were committing so I felt bad as well. I pushed away those emotions and let myself enjoy this moment.

"Delilah," he moaned.

"Wes," I whimpered.

"You feel so good," I kissed him because I had no response for him. It was intense and amazing in its own way. It ended quickly but it was what I needed.  I collapsed in his arms, Wes kissed my forehead and carried me off as the darkness took over.

I woke up in Wes's bed. My head hurt and I was almost lost at what had happened but it all came back to me within seconds of opening my eyes. I looked at Wes still sleeping and felt bad for using him. I kissed him on the cheek and grabbed some of his clothes and headed home.

I didn't even reach the door when my mother and father came running out.

"Sweety," my mother yelled. My father went from warm to cold in seconds.

"What happened, we looked for you everywhere," he said.

"I'm fine and I just laid low until I knew the rogues were gone, they chased me a good way away from here," I explained to them.

"What's wrong honey," my mom said. I was in a somber mood but I wasn't going to tell her why.

"I'm tired and numb to what I have been through," my dad raised his eyebrow at me but then gave me a hug and let me go inside. I was happy to be home. The smell of my room brought me the best feeling ever. Eating my mother's food again was the best thing I ever tasted. Seeing my little brother was nice. I missed him more than words could describe. I was home and it felt great but a part of me wasn't back here yet. My heart. It was still in that room, staring at the man I thought-, I didn't want to say it.

May came over a few hours later. She was just as concerned as everyone else had been. She also asked me what had happened but I couldn't tell her the truth either.

"Your parents are still going on with the gathering," May told me.

"Well, they should, it's not just me who could find their mate that night," I told her. 

"I'm scared," May said.

"Don't be, you will find someone, someone who loves you and it meant just for you," those words made me sick. I wanted to scream. I wanted to throw everything in my room. I didn't know anything anymore. May got a text and then so did I.

"Wes wants to meet us at the lake," I choked as May spoke.

"Oh, okay," I got up and went to go get ready. We headed to the lake and Wes looked normal. He looked happy.

"So, the gathering is happening soon," he said.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Doesn't change anything or mean much to me," I wanted to yell at him but May didn't know anything yet but she could tell something was off.

"I'm going to go, very far away from hearing distance," she said.

"I only invited her because I thought you would ignore me otherwise," I might have I thought.

"Look, if either of us finds our mates we can't reject them,"

"Why not?" Wes asked. "I only want you."

"You know how it works, we won't feel the same as soon as it happens," I said.

"But-,"

"But nothing," I insisted.

"Look, I don't regret it, and I want it to happen again," I rolled my eyes.

"Just because you are horny doesn't mean you should throw away what is meant for another," I said.

"I already did it," he said.

"Let me choose what I want, who I want," Wes said.

"Will you let me, will you accept it, if it isn't you," I said harshly.

"Yes," he said quickly. "But I know you want me even if it is a tiny part of you. I know you want me." He was right. A small part of me always wanted him but I always thought it was lust. My love for him is the same as it is for May. I am not in love with Wes as I think he is starting to be for me.

"If you find your mate just give her a chance, please, we can figure everything out then," he nodded but then added.

"But for now it's you and me," he came closer to me and lifted me up in his strong arms, and kissed me.  I slid down his tall frame as he put me down until my feet touch the grass.

"I don't know what I feel but when I am with you, it feels right, it always has," Wes said. I brought my hand up to caress his cheek and was about to lean in and kiss him once more but then I saw him. His eyes staring at me as I had once stared at him. I wanted to run to him but I was unsure if it was to hit him or embrace him. He came back to me. Wes must have felt him or see me staring and he turned around but he was gone. I swallowed hard and told Wes I had to leave. I went home and hoped and prayed he would be there. I felt him. He was still around. I entered my home.

"William,"
