Soul Mates

Chapter 5

Mary-Katheryn

Noooooo.

I can't watch Jason die, I just can't.

I look at the evil bastard holding me and whisper. "I HATE YOU. WITH EVERYTHING IN ME, I HATE YOU." I then look at the crowd and smile holding Dominic's hand up. "Isn't my Mate gorgeous?" I say as everyone claps their hands and I look at Jason once again.

He is kneeling on the gravel road looking sad and staring straight at me. "Why?..." I hear Jason's voice in my head.

"Why would you do this to us?" I tear up. Because that's what he would say to me.

"I'm sorry." I reply to the voice in my head. But it doesn't seem to hear me. All it keeps saying is "Why would you do this to us?"

No matter what I try, Jason's voice keeps saying the same thing. So I ignored it and tried to fake being happy. I just told myself that I would find him later so we could talk and straighten things out.

As the festivities continue, I keep spotting Jason through the crowd. He hasn't moved from his kneeling position.

And every time he catches my eye. I hear the same thing. "Why?"

But I promised myself I would find him and make things clear.

After the parade I tried to find him where I last saw him, but he wasn't there anymore. So I decided to go looking for him, but before I even took 1 step, someone grabbed my hand.

"How could you do that, Kat? You promised we would reject them during the parade, yet you actually announced he was your Mate. What is Jason gonna say? Have you rejected your true Mate because he is an Omega?"

This comes from my sister who looks as red as Tinkerbell when she gets angry.

"Please let go, I need to find Jason." I say trying to free my hand.

"For what? So you can cause him more pain." My sister shouts at me. She never shouts at me.

"No." I whisper with a small voice. "I need to explain. He needs to..."

"Needs to what? Get his heartbroken again." She looks me straight in the eye. "You need to just leave him alone so he can heal." Before I can explain the truth, she walks away from me.

At home I walk to the study to ask my stepfather to go with me and meet Jason my mate.

"...Mate. So where do we go from there?" I recognized Dominic's voice in my stepfather's study and stopped so I could be able to hear the conversation better.

"You don't have to worry about her so-called Mate, I will deal with it. What could make the transition and separation better is for you to finish your school year here. She will get used to you and the Mate will see there is nothing to fight for." And... that is my stepdad.

"Oh, I am not worried about him fighting me, he is an Omega. The problem is I don't want to be with my Mate and have her thinking about someone else."

"The best solution there would be to remove that person permanently." After that I couldn't listen to them anymore. I left and decided to go for a walk to clear my head.

On my walk I ended up near the woods, and when I got too close. I could swear I saw a black wolf, but no-one can shift at this time of the month, so maybe it's a real wolf I saw, but the thing is I can smell Jason's scent.

I then start talking to my imaginary Jason. "I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I thought if they knew I had a Mate they would leave us alone. But now you are in danger because of me." I fall to my knees with tears just from thinking of a dead Jason.

"How am I in danger?" Jason's voice asks.

******

Jason

At some point in the middle of the parade, I felt so sad I knew I would change at any moment, so I made myself leave. I ran to the forest and changed the minute I hit the woods.

I ran myself to exhaustion, and collapsed in the woods near her house. I just watched the house until she came out. Then I heard her again like before.

"I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I thought if they knew I had a Mate they would leave us alone. But now you are in danger because of me." I saw her fall to her knees, but I wanted to know what was happening more.

I asked her voice in my head. "How am I in danger?"

After asking that question, I looked at her for the answer. (I know, I think I'm going crazy too.) After 5 minutes with no response, I knew I was making the conversation up, but then she started crying anew and she spoke loudly.

"Dominic and my dad are going to try and capture you Jason." Knowing what is happening between us has never happened before, putting it in the list of things that make me an abnormal werewolf, I continued to ask her telepathically.

"What would they want with me, you rejected me?" If the words were a little bitter, well... I just got my heart broken, so sue me.

"No, I didn't. How I wish I was talking to the real Jason. Not some imaginary voice in my head." She says wiping her tears. "Dominic threatened to kill you if I didn't say he was my mate."

"So now he wants to kill me, to erase your memory of me?" I ask feeling guilty now, for thinking the worst of her.

"Yes, the worst part. He will be attending school with us. I won't be able to at least be with you during school. Now I'll have to pretend I don't know you." She started to cry again.

"It's okay. Your Jason will forgive you." I say, so she will keep thinking it's in her imagination. "Just tell his friend, and the friend will tell him" I get up and run to my house.
