Her Decision

Show Some Respect

Aliana

After Terrance and I accepted each other, Amber left. “What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” Terrance asked me. “I just want to go home and lie down. Today was the worst day of my life.” On that note, tears began to slide down my cheeks again. I couldn’t believe it. Not only did I cheat on Jamar once, but twice! Not to mention the second time, he saw it happen in front of his own eyes. “Really? The worst day?” Terrance failed to hide the hurt in his eyes and voice.

“I’m sorry. This day did not turn out how I imagined.” I knew I should’ve stayed home! “Do you want to walk me to my car?” I tried to be nice. “Sure! Just in case Amber is still waiting.” The bell hadn’t rung for dismissal yet so the hallway wasn’t crowded. I had missed the rest of my classes. Oh well. Terrance and I just walked side by side silently. I guess both of us had a lot to think about. We finally made it out to Wes, my 2019 red VW Bug. “Can we talk later?” Terrance said to me. He was trying so hard and I didn’t want to let him down. “Sure. Link me or we can FaceTime.” He bent down and I stepped back. “I just want to kiss your forehead Princess.”

Terrance looked down at me as he said this, silently asking for permission. I nodded slowly and as promised, he placed a warm kiss on my forehead. “I don’t know where we go from here, but I’m willing to try as long as you are.” What do I say to that? “Okay T. We can talk more later.” and I climbed into my car. I truly felt lost. On one hand I had Terrance. He was sweet as far as I could tell, but he also had a manipulative side. Not that I had much room to talk, I had accepted Terrance as my mate knowing that I would to try and win Jamar back. Mya. We need to talk. I thought to my wolf.

Talk about what? You already said you’re going to bind me over a stupid boy. Don’t talk about JD like that! This is all your fault! All we had to do was be patient and Jamar would’ve made us his girlfriend. Do you honestly think being someone’s little girlfriend is comparable to your destined mate? Terrance was designed to love you no matter what. All of your ugly parts and imperfections, he would gladly accept. But no, you want to be a spoiled little brat that only thinks of herself. But what about me Aliana? Do you know how long I’ve waited for Luca? I ignored Mya for now. It wasn’t that she didn’t have valid points, but they just didn’t matter. I wanted Jamar DeLeon.

*me*

Jamar I am so sorry.

*me*

Give me a chance to make everything right again. I’ll do anything.

*me*

Anything baby. Please!

I closed my phone and focused on the rest of the drive home. I really meant what I said. I would do whatever Jamar wanted if it meant we could be together. I loved him so much. I had built my social life around him. I didn’t know what school would look like for me without his protection. I had made a lot of enemies by being unkind, but they never messed with me because of Jamar’s reputation. Everyone joked that his dad used to be the Alpha of the pack and that’s why nobody bothered him. Or me for that matter. But Mya had thrown that all away. I pulled into gates of our property and around to the garages. Jeff or someone could park for me. My phone buzzed. I had a text from Jamar. Finally!

*Hubby*

Anything?

*me*

ANYTHING

*Hubby*

Tell me what really happened with Terrance and I’ll think about it.

*me*

What do you want to know?

I didn’t care anymore. I wanted Jamar. I needed him. I had made it upstairs and was laying down. I felt a deep pain in the center of my belly. It was like I was having a Charlie horse but in my stomach. Mya! Help me! What’s happening?! I panicked. You’re feeling what Terrance feels when you’re intimate with someone else. What? So that means he’s having s*x with someone right now? Not necessarily. You need to keep in mind that you rejected all others for Terrance. If he can feel anything about what you’ve been doing, he may be seriously hurt. He could also be getting ready to reject you.

*me*

Terrance?

*3175558401*

You really have the nerve to text me after what you’ve been thinking and feeling?

*3175558401*

You need to show some respect. I’m not going to continue to be disrespected in this way.

Damn. I could feel his anger. My heart was thumping and my hands were shaking. Terrance truly was my mate. My actions were impacting him in a negative way. He wasn’t innocent either though.

*me*

I need to show some respect? Were you showing ME respect when you told Amber to call you her man? You move on pretty quickly, huh?

*3175558401*

I was pissed ok?! I saw you leave the diner with Jamar. When I saw you the next day, all I wanted to do was apologize. But you weren’t even checking for me because you were too busy spreading lies!

*me*

What are you talking about?

*3175558401*

You were so busy trying to get back at Amber that you forgot I was in AP Biology with you. You and Jamar are mates huh? You know the best ways to encourage him right?

*3175558401*

I told you to reject me. You didn’t. Why? You clearly aren’t going to let JD go.

*me*

Yes I am Terrance. I just hate that everything happened this way. He’s been through a lot and no matter what, you can’t tell me he deserved to find out this way.

*My Love*

How can I trust you Ali?

*me*

Don’t trust me. Trust our bond.

I began to flood Terrance with the love I was feeling. He was completely right. I had hurt him and he still tried. Imperfectly, but he tried. Jamar would never compare to Terrance. Everything about him was different. He saw through the hard bitchy exterior I put up and still wanted me. I didn’t want to hurt him any more than I already had. I just wanted to start over and get my mate to forgive me.

*My Love*

It’s already done Princess. I forgive you. Please give me the honor of being your mate forever.

His love caressed me and held me close. Why hadn’t I ever felt this way about JD? Whenever we finished, JD usually wouldn’t hold me. I had to ask him or stop him from cleaning up to cuddle. That was it. I made up my mind. I committed to being with Terrance and forgetting about Jamar Antonio DeLeon. Just then I heard a knock on the door. “Sweetie are you in there? Your dad and I want to talk to you about something.” Both of my parents were home? Wtf? Something was terribly wrong.

“We’re being summoned to the pack house?” I said. “Why? Are we in trouble?” I said to my parents. “Well sweetie there’s no easy way to say this, but I was fired from my job today.” My dad said. “My connections from the inside tell me that there’s a new Alpha taking over the pack. He wants my services as a flight pilot to be at the pack’s disposal. I think that’s why we are being called in for a meeting.” My dad explained. “But Jared that still doesn’t explain why Ali and I have to go.” My mom said to my dad. “I don’t know either Susana. Maybe he wants to meet my family.”
