His Human Mate

Chapter 9

Emmett’s POV

Shock!!

This is what I am feeling right now.

Her big Hazel eyes are looking at us with fear. She is scared, no, she is terrified.

Why won’t she be, after all she just saw me shifting from my wolf to human. I just hope she didn’t see me killing that rogue.

Yes, three rogues entered inside my territory and even harmed a she wolf and her child. I and Kayden were nearby and came here the moment Max informed us about it.

I came out of my shocked trance when she fell on her knees. Her entire body is trembling because of fear. I instantly strode in her direction.

I realized she is about to lose consciousness. Before her head could hit the ground I crouched down to her level and held her in my arms.

But the words she whispered before loosing consciousness didn’t go unheard by me, “Emmett.. what are you..”.

“Is she okay?” I heard Kayden asking me with concern.

“She is not” I said. I made her lay down on the ground gently and stood up. Kayden gave me a pair of tee and shorts. I wore them. My eyes never left her angelic face.

“Why did she have to see us?” he muttered under his breath but I heard it.

That’s what I am feeling. Why did she have to see me like this?

I picked her up in my arms bridal style while speaking, “take care of everything”.

“Don’t worry I will” he assured me.

I nodded and started walking, carrying her. I like the feel of her in my arms. It feels as if she is made for me, which is the truth. She is my mate.

When Dad told me to reject her using Alpha tone, I had to agree with him but I couldn’t bring myself to do that.

I can’t go through the same pain again, pain of rejecting my mate. I will convince him later but for now I wanted to be with her.

I was planning on telling her the truth, but not like this. I wanted to spend some time with her before telling her.

She is already so scared of me. Even in the morning when I met her in my classroom, she was scared just by my presence. Now I don’t know how much her fear is gonna increase.

I placed her gently in my car and sat down on driver’s seat, beside her. I took out a water bottle and sprinkled some water on her face.

She stirred a little before opening her eyes and looking around. When her hazel orbs landed on me, they filled with fear.

Her heart began to beat faster that even I could hear it. She scooted away from me and her shivering hands tried to open the door of the car.

I hate it.

The fear I am seeing in her eyes for me, I f**king hate it.

“Sweetheart” I called her softly but she didn’t pay attention. She continued her attempts to open the door which I have already locked.

Sighing, I held her arm and her body tensed under my touch. Her eyes averted in my direction and what I saw broke my heart into many pieces.

Her teary fearful eyes.

I raised my other hand to wipe her face but she flinched.

The action was like a stab in my heart but I didn’t show her how much her fear is affecting me. I wiped her tears gently, not breaking eye contact with her. Her breathing became ragged.

The moment my hand made contact with her skin I felt sparks and I am sure she felt as well, as her breath hitched.

“Relax, take deep breaths” I said as softly as I could while caressing her cheeks. She obeyed and took few deep breaths. I retreated my hands and just watched her.

Once I felt that she is calmed I said, “ buckle in”.

Her eyes widened and once again fear replaced her expression.

“Why… where are….” She stopped speaking when I leaned closer to her. My hand held her seatbelt and I did it for her.

She kept looking at me, blinking her beautiful eyes which haunts me day and night.

I pulled away and started driving.

“Where are you taking me?” she asked me slowly.

“somewhere we can talk” I said looking at the road.

“I don’t want to, I want to go home. Open the door” she said trying to unlock the door. Her voice cracking with each word telling me that she is about to cry.

I didn’t say anything and continued to drive.

“Please let me go, I don’t want to talk with you” she pleaded. I stopped the car when I heard her sobs.

I looked in her direction to find her face is wet with tears.

“Please… I don’t want… to die..” she whispered looking at me, begging with her eyes.

S**t, she saw me killing those rogues.

“calm down sweetheart, I won’t kill you. I just want to talk with you” I said but she is not ready to listen to me.

She kept saying she wants to go. Getting a little annoyed by her protest and whining, I held the back of her neck and pulled her face closer to mine.

Her body froze, eyes widened and heart started beating fast. She looked at me with horror.

“Not a single word from this pretty mouth of yours” I said. She took a sharp intake of breath when I leaned closer. Our lips are inches away. I can feel her uneven breath on my face.

Her alluring scent is forcing the beast inside me to take over and take her right here and right now.

'kiss her' Evan growled in my mind.

My eyes fell on her quivering lips and a strong urge to taste them grew in me.

But I can’t, at least not now.

I forced my eyes up, away from her soft and pink lips which are inviting me to kiss them.

“If I hear your voice again, I will kiss you till the moment you become so breathless that no word will come out of your mouth” I said. My lips brushing over her soft ones.

She inhaled deeply. Slight taint of pink covered her cheeks..

“Understood” I said grazing her lower lip with my thumb. She nodded her head instantly.

“Good” I said and pulled away. I heard her taking a deep breath to calm her rapidly beating heart. A small smile made its way on my lips because of the effect I have on her. I again started driving.

After almost twenty minutes of driving I stopped the car in front of a building. Whole drive she didn’t say even a single word.

I came out and opened her side of door and asked her to come out but she gripped the seatbelt tightly and shook her head in no.

“Angel come out” I said a little sternly this time.

“I want to go…..”

“Do you want me to kiss you?” I asked bending down to come eye level with her.

She shut her mouth and placed her hand over it, shaking her head vigorously in no. I chuckled at her reaction finding it cute.

I leaned closer and kissed her hand which is covering her lips. Her eyes widened.

“Come out before I force you to” I said. She thought for a moment before obeying me. I held her hand and started walking inside with her.

She is trying to free her hand but I held it firmly. We entered inside an elevator.

“Where are we?” she asked hesitantly.

“ My place” I replied and walked out of elevator with her but suddenly she stopped walking. I looked back to see her with a frown on my face.

“why… why did you bring me here?” she asked. Her voice is laced with fear.

“To talk with you” I said and lifted her off of the ground. A yelp left from her lips and she wrapped her hands around my neck so that she won’t fall down.

“Put me down, I can walk” she said but I ignored her. I reached my apartment and opened the door and place her on the floor after entering inside. I locked the door and made my way to kitchen saying, “make yourself comfortable”.

Usually I live in pack house but I have this apartment as well. I hang out with my friends here or spend my nights here whenever I feel like staying alone.

I made a cup of hot chocolate for her and a coffee for me. I came out in the living room to find her sitting on the sofa looking around with her scared eyes.

I placed hot chocolate on the table in front of her and sat on the sofa across her.

“drink it, you will feel better” I said. Whenever my sister is in bad mood, I make this for her and it lightens up her mood. I hope she will feel a little better after drinking it.

With her trembling hands she picked up the cup and took a sip. Her eyes are focused on table while mine are on her.

Looking at her, I realized that I will have to treat my little human mate very delicately. She is very innocent and fragile for my possessive and dominating self.

“Ask what you want to” I said after some time. I can tell that she wants to ask many things. She is holding herself, maybe because she is scared.

She slowly lifted her eyes from table to look at me. My heart skipped a beat when they met with my green ones.

“What…. What are….” She stopped and once again looked down.

I know what she want to ask. So I answered her question, “I am a werewolf”.

Her eyes widened. Shock covered her beautiful features.

“What?” a whisper left from her mouth.

“I am a werewolf” I repeated again slowly so that she won’t think she heard me wrong.

“How can this be possible? Werewolf doesn’t exist in real” she muttered placing the cup on the table.

“You saw me, didn’t you?” I asked and her hazel eyes again met my gaze and nodded her head.

“Are you really?”

“Do you want me to shift here in front of you” I asked. Her already wide eyes widened even more. She shook her head in no. I knew that she will refuse.

Silence fell over us. I gave her some time to process all the information I told her.

“Are… you going to… kill me as well?” she asked fiddling with her fingers.

I felt pang of hurt in my heart at the mention of her death.

“No, why would you think that?” I questioned, trying to control my emotions.

“you…. killed that man” she said. Accusations lingered in her tone.

Of course for humans killing someone is very big matter.

“I won’t kill you” I said.

“then why did you approach me. Isn’t it what you want. First kill me so that you can eat me” she said and I looked at her in surprise.

She thinks I want to eat her. Like animals do.

I couldn’t control myself and burst into laughter.

“Why…. Are you laughing?” she asked narrowing her eyes.

“Because your imaginations are really amusing sweetheart” I said controlling my laugh.

She just kept staring at me. I got up from my place and went near her. She got up as well and tried to walk back when I held her hand and pulled her closer to me and wrapped my other hand around her slim waist.

“What are you doing” she whispered placing her hands on my chest, trying to push me away from her.

“I want to eat you” I said and her body stilled. All her struggles stopped and her teary eyes met mine. Her lips started quivering while her body trembled in my arms.

“But not in the way you are assuming” I added.

A cute frown formed on her face while she looked at me for explanation.

“When I will eat you, I want you under me on my bed, moaning my name in pleasure” I said tucking strands of some hairs behind her ear. Her face turned crimson. I loved the way she blushed so hard just by hearing my words.

I could hear the pounding of her heart and she again tried to push me away. But I have no plans of releasing her.

I pulled her even more closer to me, not even air can pass through us. Her breath hitched and she looked away from me. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath before again opening them and looking straight into my eyes.

“Why are you doing this to me? Why are you forcing me like this? You can get any woman you want, then why don’t you just let me go?” She asked.

The thought of letting her go caused my heart to clench in pain and my hold on her tightened. Without thinking anything else I told her the truth which I wanted to tell her for a long time,

“Because you are my mate”.
