The Runaway Mate

Chapter 4

Faith's POV

    I walked back up to my room and closed the door behind me. I really wanted to go for a run and let Kira stretch her legs but I haven't been announced just yet so I have to be patience and not alert any of Demetri's members. Last thing that I want is to be attacked and causing more trouble.     

    I would need to think of a way to escape without alerting anyone of my exit. Maybe I can leave in the middle of the night, I'm pretty sure they would have a night patrol but I can easily slipped out without being noticed, I have done it many times before. I untied my hair and ran my fingers through it, combing out the knots. 

    Today has been a crazy day, there is so much running through my mind and I don't know how to process any of it. It did feel good to have Demetri's family welcome me with such open arms. I haven't experienced anything like this since I became a rogue. I remember even trying to get help from neighboring packs, they turned their backs on me as soon as I told them I was a rogue, I've even been kicked out of towns. No one care about what happened to my pack to my family. No one wanted to go against Thayne, everyone knows the stories of the ruthless alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. He has a reputation of killing entire packs and taking there women to turn them into slaves to bear the children of his unmated men, he lets a few live to become rogues to tell his stories of what become of their packs and what would happen if they refused him. A single tear slipped and rolled down my face as I think of my family and friends. 

    There was a gentle knock at the door. I stood and wiped my face and fixed my clothes. I took a quick look in the mirror to ensure that I looked presentable. I didn't want Demetri to see me upset, wait what am I thinking. Who cares what he thinks of me, I won't be here that long anyway. I shake the thoughts out of my head and headed towards the door. I opened it and I relax as soon as I laid eyes on Demetri. He must have shower because the smell of fresh soap was pouring off of him and his hair was comb to the back but I could tell it was a bit wet. He stood at the doorway with a tray full of food. He looked absolutely delicious, I looked him up and down. He must have noticed because when I finally got back to his face he was smirking at me. I quickly averted my gaze anywhere but his face.  

    "Well you are you going to let me in or leave me standing here all night." 

    I stepped to the side and allowed him to enter into the room. He bent down to whisper in my ear. "No need to be shy, you can look all you want baby girl."

    "I don't know what you mean." I cleared my throat. 

    "My mom sent me to bring you a tray of food since you never came back down for dinner. We didn't want to overwhelm you by asking you to come back." He sat the tray down on the nightstand next to the bed. 

    "Um thanks so much, I'm starved." I looked at the tray and practically started to drool but then I noticed there were two of everything and I looked at Demetri in confusion. 

    "Don't think I was going to let you eat alone." He smiled and grabbed one of the plates and sat on the floor with this back up against the bed. 

    "Alpha Demetri you don't have to eat with me I'm fine, I'm use to eating alone I don't mind at all." 

    I saw a glint of sadness in his eyes before he masked it, ignoring me he patted the spot next to him on the floor. "Grab your food and come relax I'll put on a movie or something and called me Demetri." 

    I rolled my eyes, I knew there was no point of trying to convince him to leave. I can tell he's the stubborn type, I grabbed a plate and sat next to him on the floor and began to eat. I felt so comfortable being near him, I didn't mind sitting with him. He turned on the movie and we ate in silence as we watched the movie. I could feel him glancing at me throughout the entire time we were eating, heat rushing up to my face. I ignored him and focused all my attention on the movie. 

    Once the movie ended, I place the empty plates on the tray and turned towards Demetri. He stood and took off his shirt, I quickly turned my back too him. I looked down to the floor and clear my throat.

    "What are you doing?" I was fighting with myself to not to turn around. 

    "What does it look like? I'm getting ready for bed." He pulled the comforter back and hop into the bed. 

    "I thought this was my room, you can't sleep here." I turned and crossed my arms. 

    He chuckled. "Don't think I was going to let you sleep here alone, what if you try to leave me in the middle of the night. No way I want you close to me tonight." I felt a sensation creep up between my legs. 

    s**t! I guess leaving in the middle of the night was out of the question. We shouldn't leave Faith, he is our mate. He is ours. We must stay by his side. Kira was becoming more and more active, it warmed me to have her talk to me again but she and I both know that we can't stay we have to leave. I ignored her and focused my attention on the man in my bed. 

    I cleared my throat. "I'm not getting you out of here tonight am I?" He smiled. "Nope" He popped the p. 

    "Fine." I threw my hands up and grabbed my night clothes out my bag and went to the bathroom and slam the door shut and locked it. 

    I change into shorts and a extra-large t-shirt that cover the shorts and stop right at my thighs, I took a quick look in the mirror and signed at the sight. I had dark circles under my eyes, my face has sunk in and I looked exhausted. 

    Sleeping in the same bed would be okay, right? Who am I kidding it will take ever thing in me not to jump his bones tonight, my attraction to him is becoming stronger by the hour. I guess I could blame it on the mate bond. My father explained it to me be before when I was younger. He explain that once you find your mate you instantly fall in love, there will be an instant attractions. Mates were born to be together they were soulmates, it was to the extent that if they were to reject one another they could go crazy or die. I didn't want to think about this now, I know that me and Demetri can never be together, I took a deep breathe and splash some cold water on my face and cleared my mind. I pulled my hair up to a messy bun and headed back out. 

    "Ok, this is your home so I can't complain about it but if you are going to sleep here, there will be absolutely no touching in any fashion. Understood. You need to keep your hands to yourself tonight." I pointed at him. 

    "I can't control what I do in my sleep, there is no guarantee that I will be able to keep my hands off that body of yours." he  smirked and shrugged. 

       I rolled my eyes. "If you keep rolling your eyes like that I'm going to have to punish you." He showing me the most sexy smile.  

    I felt the heat rise to my cheeks and I quickly turned to get into the bed. I pulled back the comforter on the opposite side and climbed into bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow I felted Demetri's arm wrapped around me and he pulled me close to him. I felt his breathe on my neck and quickly felt the heat travel to my lower body. I squirmed under him. 

    "You shouldn't move like that, I'll get excited." Then I felt his member on my lower back pressing against me. I quickly stop moving. 

    "I said no touching." I said barley a whisper. 

    "And I said I can't control what I do in my sleep."

    "Your not sleep let me go, now!" I tried to move his arms from around me. 

    I laid there for a few minutes. "Demetri?" No response. 

    "Demetri?" 

    "Mhmm I love to hear my name come out that mouths of yours." He pulled me closer 

    "Demetri, I can't do this. I can't stay. Don't get attached." I closed my eyes waiting on his response.

    I waited for his response and all I felt was his breathe on my neck. It was strangely soothing, and before I knew it I was in a deep sleep.
