After the ceremony, Greg and Ana left after they said their goodbye. The Wolves went to the kitchen and began eating the rest of the spaghetti and made more dinner for twenty.
I went to my room and began reading the Geminide journal.
'There is a core to every creature's power, a core to a mortal will, and a core to a soul. Thee may not be able to help it, these points control energy, body, and life. To control, detain and recover means balance.' She wrote,' Hignacio and mine most recent discovery in the sewers and forest of Spain made me realize that witches are the weakest in physical strength. But that's how we fit in. The Great Magic created four creatures, the human, the vampire, the werewolf, and the witch, in which they were given away to represent magic. The Human body accepts the magic easily, but this also means they are weak within its contact. The vampire embodies the magic, allowing the immortality, but this signifies they need a substance to stay live-blood. The werewolf merges into the magic, yet the reason for why thee turns into a wolf is unknown. Then there's the witch, who emits the magic with spells.
'The first spell I developed was to capture or absorb the magic of an object, either alive or inanimate. . . . '
I continued to read the journal until I heard a rap on my door, I looked at my clock, 12:34 am.
I got up and set the book down before opening the door slightly to see who was on the other side, Luke.
"Hello, Luke," I said.
"Hey, Jane, did I wake you?" he asked worriedly.
"No, I was reading, do you want to come in?"
"No, he'll find out I was in there."
"He'll smell it...I imagine that's how he found out about the damn kiss, isn't it? "
"Yeah, but he also smelled the Russian barbecue, so that helped. He is out there running like a maniac, this whole thing just got out of hand. . ."
I scoffed, "Stupid. "
He smiled, "Hey, give him a chance. He isn't like those annoying, irritating, bossy, possessive Alpha's. He WAS made for you. . . "
"That's the thing about mates, isn't it? "
He nodded, "Believe me, Raine and I hated each other's guts, but when she turned wolf it became puppy eyes and kisses for us. Now she's carrying my kid. "
"Really?" I tried imaging that, but I couldn't, they seem almost inseparable. As I tried to imagine Robin and I like Luke's relationship, I couldn't. My heart didn't flutter like it used to. Maybe I did truly reject him. Or perhaps my heart belonged to someone else, someone different.
I yawned involuntarily.
"Sorry, I should have waited to talk in the morning, but Robin's out and Raine made me do this. So please don't tell him I came up."
I nodded, "Okay."
He snapped his head around as he heard something, "Raine and her speed up baby hormones. "He laughed, "See you around. "
I nodded as he walked away, I sighed and closed the door.
That Saturday morning, Sara along with Abby and he five wolf girls managed to get Qira and me out of the house. Their spirits were up and they decided to go to the neighboring town's mall. The good thing about this trip was I finally got my car back. It turns out my mustang survived the attack, and with a few repairs like a new paint job, it was good as new. The bad thing was that the boys stayed behind.
We were in that bloody mall for almost ten hours, we were back home at 7 pm. By then the house was rearranged to fit out guest in. Since the house was originally built as a small inn, the third and second floor was filled with rooms. Mine, Abby, and Vincent's room (Whom they share with their partner except me) were on the third floor. Qira's room along with Eros' where on the floor below us, that left four rooms available. On the first, there was the kitchen, living room and the libraries.
The Beta took one of the rooms, as his mate was delicate with her pregnancy, while the family of human but werewolf defendant took the other.
It seemed to me that Eros was giving Robin the ice treatment and vise versa. I sighed as we entered the house. The girls were thrilled to see the more comfortable area the men had arranged, and as they set up the plastic drawers we bought, filling them with fresh clothes as I went upstairs.
Robin was inside sitting on my bed, curious thing, I didn't see him come up. But I was distracted a bit. I set my shopping bag down by my bed as I sat down.
"Robin-"
"Jane-"
We both said at the same time.
He sighed, "We can't be like this forever, you know. Acting like this-, " he said gesturing between us, "never happened ."
"No, Robin. I'm still trying to get things straight, it's been a weird week."
"It has been a hell of a week. . .but with what you've seen, the rage I felt when I realized why your sent was semi-mixed with that blood- " I threw a look, "Eros, well I thought you were making it even. That's when my Alpha side let loose and became - "
"Possessive aggressive mate . . ." I finished.
"Your fear is to be under pressure and make a mistake. Well, mine is simple. You're mine and I'll lose you if I'm not careful."
I whip my head around, "I'm not something you can own, Robin!"
His eyes interval between shades of black, "Sorry, but it's the truth, you are mine, "He reaches out for my hand "Do you think we can try to forget this? I'm sorry for everything, Jane-"
I cut him off and let my witch side out first, and he noticed my change, "Clausus sodium ." I chanted and the bubble spell was up and over my room. I shake my head, slipping my hand from his hold, "Robin you're acting like a child over a toy, but at least Eros has the decency to be patient! "
He frowned and fought hard to not go to Eros room and beat that Russian accent out of him."Why are you defending him!?"He shouts.
"Why are you yelling at me for? I was just stating a point, Robin. You may be my werewolf mate but it doesn't give you the right to take possession over me! "
He calms down and looks at me apologetically, "Jane, I'm sorry."
"No, just leave, Robin. " I snap, "I am already dealing with so much stress I don't want to deal with this!"
He grits his teeth and leaves. I sigh and go to sleep, annoyed on how possessive he is and how stupid this all is.
