His Surprise Mate

Chapter 6 The Question of the Century

Aaron

I don't know what took over me. I just knew that I want to touch her. Hold her. As I start walking towards her, she starts walking backwards, so I just use my supernatural speed and in a second I am in front of her. She is so beautiful. Yes, definitely going to be my death.

She looks me dead in the eye and I swear she looks at me like she recognized me from somewhere and then the very next moment her eyes flutter close and she starts falling down. I catch her. As soon as I touch her, sparks erupt everywhere. Steve is saying something in the background but I can't make a single word as I carry my mate in my arms towards my room. I climb up the stairs and look back at everyone and see father trying to stop a very angry and ready to kill Steve. I will deal with him later, father and mother can take care of him right now.

.....

I walk in my bedroom and put my miracle mate on my bed gently. She looks so innocent and young. Never in my life I thought of having a mate and now that I have one I don't know what to do with her.

"Either mark her right now or reject her" came Ace's pained voice.

"I don't know what to do. I can't just reject her like this"

"You listen to me human, from what I can say is that she is not a vampire yet and is certainly not a werewolf. She is simply a human. Just reject her, she will never feel the mate bond breaking and will not feel any pain." Ace said firmly but his voice broke when he told me to reject her. He wants her and I guess I want her too but we just can't have her.

"It's better to just reject her then? She may not be a vampire or werewolf but I think she felt the mate bond. Didn't you see how she looked at me. And what about our pain? We will feel every ounce of pain if I reject her."

"You are just making excuses Aaron. We both know that we are capable of handling pain. I want her too, you know, but this isn't fair to her. If we accept her as our mate, she will be in constant danger. And I think.. I don't know human."

Ace accepting the fact, that he wants her, makes me want her more but I can't do this to her but I don't want to let her go either. Moon goddess has truly screwed me.

"I am rejecting her then, Ace"

"You know it's for the better."

"I know."

I take a good look at her. She has a small nose, high cheekbones, a perfect jawline and her blonde hair adds to her beauty. She was able to look at me without lifting her face, so definitely tall. She is wearing a purple hoodie and black baggy pants but something tells me that she has all the curves in the right places. Me eyes fell to her lips. So plump and kissable. I just want to kiss the lights out her. Whoa!! Stop... Where did that thought came from?

"From your mind human. You can't check her out like this when you are about to reject her. Wake her up already." Ace hissed at me.

As much as I want to kiss her right now, I listen to Ace and stop fantasizing her. As soon as I touch her face, sparks erupt from the touch and she opens her eyes only to close them again. She mumbles something similar to 'I am not crazy' and opens her eyes again looking at me attentively.

She looks at me with so many emotions that I just can't understand so I do what Ace and I agreed on.

"Do you know who I am?"

"You are the Alpha King." She speaks without any hesitation as she has known me forever.

"Good. Now what's your full name?

"Rebekah Grace Evans." She answers me after a moment.

"I Aaron James Stanford, reject you, Rebekah Grace Evans as my mate." I declare and I feel something breaking in me. Oh! so I do have a heart. Well, now, a broken one.

Rebekah looks at me questionably but then shakes her head and says the words, a part of me wished, she didn't.

"I Rebekah Grace Evans accept your rejection, Aaron James Stanford."

.....

Rebekah

Something or someone touches my face and it starts burning. I open my eyes, see those stupid green eyes looking and close them again.

No, this can't be happening. Either I am still dreaming or I have finally gone mad. The burning feeling is still there on my right cheek meaning I am not dreaming right now.

'I am not crazy' I hear my voice and realize that I said that aloud. I somehow manage to open my eyes and see a very fine specimen God ever made staring down at me.

NO.

NO.

DON'T THINK ABOUT HIM LIKE THIS.

He is still touching my face and I realize how tall he is.

"Do you know who I am?" he asks me breaking my damned chain of thoughts.

"You are the Alpha King" I answer him right away. Anyone would you know who he is. And in that moment I realize that I have known him all my life as he was always there with me. In my dreams. He was there every time I closed my eyes.

"Good. Now what's your full name?"

"Rebekah Grace Evans." I answer him again without thinking much but what he says next shakes me to my core.

"I Aaron James Stanford, reject you, Rebekah Grace Evans as my mate."

I AM HIS MATE?

Yes, of course. that's what he said before I fainted.

Alpha Kings don't get a mate.

HYBRIDS don't get a mate.

Well even if I am his mate, he is rejecting me right? So that's good. I look at him again and I want to ask him so many question but then settle for the answer he is accepting. The sooner we get over this, the better.

"I Rebekah Grace Evans accept your rejection, Aaron James Stanford."

.....

Aaron

As soon as the words leave her mouth, I close my eyes, excepting the world crushing down at me but nothing happens. Nothing changed. I was supposed to feel excruciating pain.

I look at her again and she seems relaxed probably thinking that the mate bond broke. I touch her cheek again and I still feel the sparks and the bloody mate bond. She must have felt that too as she jumps from my touch and bumps her head on the head board. Perfect, she is hurting herself on her own and I was worried she would be in danger. I shake my head and hold her arms keeping her in place and sitting on the edge of my bed. She tries to get away from me but I hold her tighter.

"You can't fight me Rebekah, stop moving and listen to me." To my surprise she stops moving and relax in my hands only to punch me right in my face.

"Did she just punched you?" Ace asked the obvious. Clearly impressed by Rebekah. If I wasn't so surprised, I guess I'll be impressed too.

Rebekah doesn't wait another second and jumps out of the bed. She may have caught me on surprise but she is no match for me. I catch her by her waist and push her on the bed. I climb on top of her, holding her hands above her head with my hand and use the other to hold her face.

Just as I was about to speak, she kicks me. Right in the place but I don't bulge and put her legs under mine, although I keep my weight of off her. I can crush her with my weight. Since when did I get this thoughtful?

"Since you found out your mate."Ace states chuckling to himself. I decide to ignore him right now and focus on the girl who is hell bent on getting out of my hold.

"I am not going to hurt you but if you don't stop hitting me, I will tie you up." I use my Alpha tone hoping it will work on her.

"Let me go you sick f**k." She says still trying to fight me. Nope. It didn't work. God, I just want to talk to her.I try to keep her in position but she keeps fighting me, so I do what I wanted to do since the moment the saw her. I lean down and kiss her. She goes completely still. Should have just kissed her in the first place. She doesn't kiss me back so I bite her lower lip and she opens her mouth in surprise and I use the opportunity to slide my tongue into her mouth. Her back archs and she deepens the kiss.

Yes, she is definitely going to be the death of me but if this is how I go, I'll die as a very happy man.

I never knew this is what it felt like, having a mate. I always thought they were a burden given by the moon goddess but right now I can't thank her enough.

If I had any plan on rejecting her before, now they are null and void. Clearly the rejection doesn't work. Why? well, that is the question of the century.

But now that I have her, I just can't let her go. I won't let her go.

She is mine.

Mine alone.
