Jayson’s POV
I paced back and forth in my office.I know I messed up but I was trying. Why didn’t she want to share a room with me? I’m her Mate.
“Hey Jay. Uh, Jaclyn doesn’t want to come down for dinner so I wanted to see if you want to take dinner to her?” Camilla questioned.
“I should have guessed she wouldn’t want to eat in the dining hall after what I did to her. Cam, she hates me. I don’t blame her. I would hate me too.”
Camilla gave me a slight smile. “Give her time. She will come around eventually, but you can’t give up after a couple of tries.”
She was right. I had to prove to Jaclyn I could be the wolf she needed.
I grabbed the tray from my sister and kissed her quickly on the cheek. “Thank you.” Was all I could say as I quickly made my way to her room.
I knocked on the door and it felt like forever before she opened the door. But she opened the door with nothing but a tiny towel.
“Oh, I am sorry I was expecting Camilla. Uh come in.” And she stepped to the side to let me in.
“Sssorry I uh just wanted to eat with you.” s**t did I just stutter. Get it together man. I could feel Beau trying to come out.
‘Our Mate is so sexy. Let’s mark her.’
‘We have to take it slow. I have hurt her too many times.’
‘That was your fault! Don’t keep her away from me any longer. I need and want her.’
‘Just give me a little bit of time. I will make this work.’
With that, Beau stopped trying to take over. Thankfully, because I didn’t have it in me to stop him anymore.
“Are you going to put the food down?” She asked, giving me a weird look.
“Oh yeah, I hope you like burgers? I realize we don’t really know much about each other.”
She smiled at me. It was a small smile and the smile didn't reach her eyes..
Jaclyn’s POV
I just have to play along for just a little bit longer. “I am going to just put some clothes on.”
“I don’t mind.”
I couldn’t stop from looking shocked. But I composed myself quickly and dug in my bag for a pair of shorts and top and quickly made my way to the bathroom and got dressed.
When I came out of the bathroom, he was sitting on the edge of my bed looking from his hands to my bag and back to his hands.
“Thank you for bringing me my dinner. You don’t have to feel obligated to stay here with me.”
“I am where I want to be,” he said with a huge grin.
We ate in silence. As soon as we were done eating, there was a knock at the door and Jayson opened the door and two Omega’s entered. One took the empty tray and the other set down a new tray. Upon removing the lid there were 5 different desserts.
Confused, I looked up at Jayson. “What is this?”
“Well, I didn’t know what kind of desert you liked. So I figured we could share a couple of different kinds.”
Realizing I hadn’t eaten a desert since I was 14. I was happy to just get a normal meal. Dessert was never a luxury I was afforded. “Um, I don’t really know what I like either. It's been about 4 years since I’ve had anything sweet other than granola bars.”
“It’s about time for you to give them a try.”
After eating dessert together, I was ready for sleep. I felt like I was in a food coma.
“Why have you not unpacked your bag?”
His question snapped me out of my sleepy daze. “I don’t know. I guess it's because I don’t feel as if this is my home. What will I do when you mark your Luna? I can’t stay here with you and Milly.’
He didn’t answer my question, but his demeanor changed. He seemed as if he was uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to leave my room.
“I am really tired. Thank you again for dinner. But I think it's time for me to go to sleep.”
Jayson stood and smiled. “Sleep well my Queen.” With that, he left my room.
