Hybrid and Her Mate

Issues

When I awoke the next day, Jake was already gone. I frowned to myself wondering why he didn’t wake me before he left. We could of have had breakfast together. “Something doesn’t feel right.” Ella said to me in my head.

“It’s probably nothing.” I tell her as I grab my phone. When checking it, I saw I had 5 missed calls, 2 voicemails, and 10 text messages all from my parents. I read and listened to all of the messages of them apologizing over and over about how they hid the truth from me and that they wanted to get together and chat. I am too upset to respond right, so I ignore it and start getting ready for the day.

I search the closet and find some clothes. Two of my favorite things catch my eye. First one being a black leather jacket and the other being the cutest pair of knee high, bike boots. I’ve always wanted a pair, but they are like $300. Next I brush and curl my hair after finding a curling iron in one of the drawers and found some make up in another. I quickly applied my usual darker eye look and my foundation.

As I make my way down to get some breakfast, I text Jake to see where he is at. When I reach the kitchen, I find a spot next to his mother. One of the omegas quickly comes and gets my order of waffles, eggs, bacon, and toast with a tall glass of orange juice. After I order, Jake’s mother turns to me.

“Selene darling, I am so glad to finally sit and talk to you! I realize my rude son forgot to introduce us earlier. My name is Allie, it is so amazing to meet you.” Allie said. She started telling me about everyone in the pack house. I found out that Zeke (the guy who walked through the trees on us) is Jake’s beta and best friend. Kyle, who I have yet to meet, is his another best friend. She started talking about their kingdom and all of the amazing people there.

I found myself getting lost in what she was saying and didn’t even realize that almost everyone was gone. I still didn’t see Jake come in at all. I snuck a glance at my phone to see that he never replied earlier. I patiently listened to everything else that Allie told me, before asking where Jake was at.

“He should be up in his office dear. I’m surprised he didn’t tell you.” She told me with her eyebrows scrunched.

“I was still asleep when he left.” I said with a laugh. She was too sweet to worry her with my concerns. I excused myself and set off to find Jake.

…

I can go the office door, after getting directions from anyone available. I knocked and waited until I got the permission to enter. When I walked in, Jake looked up and once he noticed it was me, he gave me a small smile.

“Good morning beautiful.” He said to me. I walked over to him and planted a kiss in his mouth. He kissed me back but didn’t seem all that into it. I brushed it off on being busy.

“So Selene, I was about to come get you to talk to you. I think for right now, we need to set you up in a room of your own.” He said. I was shocked! My own room after everything that we have done!

“Why would we do that?” I demanded.

“Well, after everything that your parents told us yesterday, I need some time to think. I need to decide if claiming you is the best idea or if we should end it and reject our mate bond.” Oh, I was pissed!

“ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME! AFTER EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE? ESPECIALLY LAST NIGHT!” I rant on and on. I was screaming at the top of my lungs. He decides to tell me he wants to wait. He knew I was different from the beginning. He knew everything before he slept with me last night, TWICE! Now he decides to take a break.

I was so livid, glass was shattering and things were flying everywhere. I didn’t care nor did I try to control my anger. This motherf**ker is trying this sh*t after what we had done. He didn’t try to stop me or anything until whatever was behind him went up in flames. He grabbed me and pulled me on his lap.

“Listen Selene. I love you, I do. I need some time though. Everything was thrown on us all at once yesterday between the mating bond and what we were told. Plus your ex boyfriend tried to kidnap you and my ex threatened you. We need to take a beat. Try to find someone to help you control your powers. If we can do that much, we can move forward. But only if you can gain control. I am the King of my country and I have to do what is best.” He ranted on. I understood, I really did. I was still fuming, I was trying to calm down, but it wasn’t easy.

“Kicking me out of the room? Why would you do that after what we have done.” I needed to know.

“So that we aren’t tempted. I love sharing a bed with you, but I don’t want us to end up sleeping together if stuff goes south.” He told me honestly.

“You think sleeping separately will make it any easier? If you want all temptations gone, I can stay somewhere else.” I told him with attitude.

“No! Not after last night. You will stay here with me so that you are safe. If it means so much to you to stay with me then fine. You can have the bed and I’ll sleep on the floor.” It felt like he stabbed me in the heart. Did he really dislike me that much already? I felt tears fill my eyes and I ran out without responding or looking back.
