The Runaway Mate

Chapter 3

 "Are you okay? What happened? What's wrong?" I moved his hands from my face, his touch was too much. I needed to get away from him before I do something stupid. I stood and put some distance in between us. 

    "I'm fine, just a bad dream." I fidget with my clothes looking everywhere but his eyes. He just stared at me. 

    "Really I'm fine I get them all the time, I'll get over it soon promise." I guess that was enough because his gaze soften. 

    "Okay my mother wanted me to come let you know that dinner is ready and wanted to know if you'll be joining us." He stood taking a step towards me. I couldn't move, it was like I was in a trace or something. 

    "Um, yes I'll be joining I just need some time to shower and throw some clothes on." Trying to figure out a way to get him to leave, still not looking him in the eyes. 

    He didn't take the hint but instead step in front of me and cupped my chin to make me look at him. I held my breathe as I watched him look at my lips then back at my eyes. "You are perfect the way you are." He leaned in closer and there was a knock at the door. He growl. "Whoever it is better have a good reason to be knocking at a time like this." Still looking me in the eyes. 

     A young girl came in and blush at the sight of us and immediately looked down as she enter, she couldn't be no more that 15. She was beautiful has jade green eyes and long brown hair that come to the middle of her back. She was small and petite but had a nice figure. "Mom said to come check on Faith and drop some clothes off to her." 

    He finally let go of me and took a step back and cleared his throat. "Sorry come in Maya. This is my mate Faith Jones. Faith this is my younger sister Maya." Maya looked up and smiled warmly at me and walked over to give me a hug. I was taken back at first and then returned the hug. She was sweet. 

    "It is so nice to meet you! I just know we are going to be the best of friends, I always wanted a sister but was stuck with this big log." I chuckled at her and caught Demetri looking at me. I quickly looked away. 

    "I brought you some clothes, hopefully you can fit them." She handed me a few clothes and I walked past Demetri and gently placed them on the bed. Its been a while since I had new clothes I was grateful towards them but I couldn't stay, he'll find me and destroy this pack as he did mine.

    "Thanks so much I really appreciate it." I gave her a small smile. She smile and walked towards the door. "Well I'll leave you two to what ever you were doing before I interrupted." She snickered leaving out the door. 

    I realized that I was alone again with Demetri and I tense when I felt him behind me. "Um, I have to shower and get ready." 

    "Can I join you?" I felt his hands at my waist and his body on mine. I closed my eyes and took in his touch. Every time he touched me I felt electricity running through my body. He leaned down and kissed my marking area, it sent shivers through my body. He turned me around kissed me hard. He kissed me with a need, I melted and a moan escape my lips. Kira leap with joy, Our mate want us, he needs us like we need him. 

   You are mine and no one else, I will find you! Thayne's voice echo in my head and brought me back to reality. I pulled back and placed my hand on his chest. I couldn't look him in the eyes because I know if I did I would cave in. 

    "I need to get ready, I'm sorry." I turned and walked in the bathroom without looking back and shut and lock the door behind me. I waited until I heard the door outside close and fell to me knees and cried softly. 

Demetri's POV

    I knew she was mine as soon as I laid eyes on her. Her long sun bleach hair shine as the sun beamed down on her. She was so tiny yet fully figured, from her perky breast to her curvy figure. Her caramel skin called out me to touch every inch of it. And her hazel eyes looked right through me. She was beautiful and all mine, and I was never going to let her go. I had been searching for my mate for years and with no luck I was ready to give up. I have had women during this time but nothing serious. I knew one day I would find her. I was shocked to see that she was a rogue, what had happened to her pack? What happened to her that made her so afraid of me? I was determined to make her mine. I know she has feelings for me too I just need to figure out how to break down those walls she have built.

    I walked down the stairs and headed to the kitchen where I found my family siting at the breakfast nook. They all turned to me. "How is she?" My father asked with the look of concern on his face. My mother must have told him about the interaction earlier today. 

    "She is fine, something happened to her. Something bad. She is only 21 and and rogue that is practically unheard of." To become a rogue it had to be one of two things: your entire pack was dead or you were banished by the alpha. 

    My mother signed. "Yea I was surprised by her as well, she must have lost her family a long time ago. It seems that she have been on the road an long time. Poor child." 

    We heard footsteps approach us and we all turned to see Faith in the doorway. She looked beautiful, she had chosen on of my mother's old sun dresses. It was white with flowers all over it and flowed all the way down to the floor, it was a bit long for her short stature. It hugged her breast just right and flowed at the bottom, it complimented her beautiful caramel skin just right. I couldn't wait to taste her. Her long hair was now wet and pulled up to a messy bun, leaving her neck exposed. I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and take her to my room and show her how much I wanted her.

    My sister walked past me and to Faith and grabbed her hand and lead her to the counter. I saw her blushed and dipped her head down as she pasted me. "You look gorgeous in that dress." My sister said in awe. 

    "Thank you." Faith smiled and dipped her head down once again. I will have to get her to stop hiding that smile of hers. 

    "I'm George, Demetri's father. It's nice to finally nice to meet my son mate." My father reached out his hand and she took it and shook it but I could tell she tensed up from his words. 

    "It's nice to meet you Mr. Stone." 

    "No need to be formally with me we are family now, you can call me George." Faith looked down and frowned at his words. 

"I'm sorry, but I won't be-"

    Before she could finish, Liam my beta bust through the door. "Where is our new Luna?" He said looking around and finally his eyes landing on Faith. He has always been loud and annoying, but I couldn't wish for anyone else to be my beta he was my best friend we have known each other since we were children. His father was my fathers beta before I became alpha. He was built just like me, tall and muscular, I had a few inches on him but he was close in height. He had a short hair cut you could barely run your hands through it. But he was handsome and he knew it. He had been with most of our pack women and hated the thought of getting a mate. He always said that he was too good looking to be tied down. 

    "Here she is. Liam this is my mate Faith Jones. Faith this is my beta Liam." I went to her side and wrapped my hands around he waisted. I felted her relax when I pulled her close, but she kept her eye forward not daring to look at me. 

    She gave him a small smile. "It's nice to meet you but I won't be staying long." 

    Everyone turned to look at her. "Why do you keep saying that, you are mine and only mine. I will not let you go." I cupped her chin to have her look me in the eyes. I could see a hint of pain in fear in them but also a longing. I could tell she wanted me but she was holding herself back.

    "It's not safe for your pack if I stay." She placed a gentle hand on my chest and pushed me back away from her. "Trust me its better if I keep moving." My wolf stirred inside me. I could tell Drax was ready to mark her right here. Who dares threaten our mate? I will kill anyone who tries to take her from us. Drax said. I know Drax I promise I won't let her go. I swear. The thought of her leaving made me want to kill whoever put this much fear in my mate. 

    "Trust me you will be safe here, with your people." I reassured her

    "Honey what ever it is your running from we can protect you." My mother said standing next to my father. 

    "I really appreciate it, I do but I can't live knowing that I could be possibly putting you all at risk." With that she walked out the kitchen tears threatening to escape her gorgeous eyes.  

    I started to follow her but my father stopped me. I glared at him for not allowing me to go after my mate. "What are you doing? I need to go to her." 

    "Son, she needs space. This is probably a lot on her and its clear that she has a past. You should get some more information on her before you run her away. She can't leave anyway you have already alerted the pack she is not to leave your territory and anyone is to report back to you if she tries. And I think she knows that too or she would have left by now." Its true I sent a mind link to everyone informing them of what was going on and I know they follow my commands without hesitation. 

    "He's right. I will get all the information I can on her and report back to you." Liam said as he put a hand on my shoulder to reassure me. 

    I ran a hand through my hair and signed. "Fine, but hurry I want to make her mines as soon as possible regardless of her past. She is mine and I refuse to let her go." My mother smile at me and my father chuckled. I know they were happy for me that I have finally found her. 

    "We know son." My father placed his hand on my shoulder.
