Chapter 18

Jasper's POV

I didn’t realize that everyone had gotten up and gone to their rooms. I knew the tour lasted for some time, and everyone was hungry and tired. Once we sat down to eat, I was joking with Laura about feeding me a french fry, and she did just that. I watched as Berk had found his mate, and I was so happy for all of them. I just needed to get my mate back. We were doing fine when she started asking questions. I told her the truth about her ex and what he had done to her. Then, when I told her I would sit there and talk to her, read, and sing, she wanted me to sing to her. I said sure, though I'm not so sure if my voice is that good, but I will give it a shot."" At first, she was listening, then she grabbed me and gave me one hell of a kiss—a kiss that made me weak in the knees. She suddenly stopped, got up, and ran off. I sat there, thinking if I did anything wrong. Did I do or say anything wrong? Goddess, I hope not. My cat told me to get my ass up and follow her. She needs Jasper. Getting up from my seat, I followed her scent to a beautiful garden. I must say, she did a beautiful job. There were orange trees and roses, lilies, daisies, lemon trees, and even a vegetable garden. There was a walkway, so I followed it. I began to hear her softly speak. I stood there listening, like someone eavesdropping, but what she said was breaking my heart.

“Moon goddess, what do I do? I don't remember him, but my heart tells me differently. When I kissed him, I felt so alive, so free, so safe. I just don't know what to do. A part of me wants to give him a chance. Another part of me is scared. I know he's telling me the truth. I just need your advice, Selena.” I stood there for a few more minutes and then said, "Forget it. It's now or never." So I walked over to her, held her hands, looked into her eyes, and said, with lyrics.

“Where have you been? I looked for you forever and a day.” Then I said to her, “we can start out by getting to know each other.” I placed her hand on my chest and again said,

“Do you feel that? That's my heart beating just for you, Laura. There will never be anyone else but you. You are forever, my Luna. I love you with my whole heart, my darling Luna. But if you want me to leave, I will leave. I do not want to rush you into anything.” I lifted up her hands to kiss them. Then I gently let go of them. We stood there looking at each other. When I finally sighed, I turned and started to walk away. If this is what she wants from me right now, then I will do it just for her.

“So, you're just going to leave me standing there by myself. After all that love talk telling me, we start off to get to know each other. You just simply walk away?” Stopping in my tracks, she didn't want me to leave; she wanted me to stay. I slowly turned around, knowing she was standing right behind me. Then, I pulled her close, holding her tightly to me.

“I thought that's what you wanted me to do,” I heard her sigh, then she looked up at me with her beautiful green eyes and said, "If I wanted you to leave, I would have said so. I just needed a moment, that's all. I needed to be alone for a few moments, but you found me and made up my mind. I would like to get to know you.” I smiled from ear to ear as she took my hand and led me up to her room. She placed her palm on a pad, and I heard the door unlock. Then we both walked into the room.

“So, if you want to take a shower, it's right there," she pointed to the door on the right. "And when you get tired, I'll give you a pillow and a blanket so you can lay on the couch. If you're hungry, I have sandwich meat in the small refrigerator right by my dresser. I don't have a big one because it might take up most of the room. But kick your shoes off and stay awhile. Make yourself at home.” I was thinking I would be able to lay in bed with her, but then she directed me to the couch. Well, I guess this is a start; I will be in the same room with her. I didn't bring a change of clothing with me, so when I took a shower, I left my boxers on so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable. I laid on the couch with the blanket on me.

"If you're not too busy tomorrow, we can start in the kitchen and the dining room tomorrow morning, so it can be done before the ball.” I was glad that she asked me that. I was trying to think of an excuse not to go home tomorrow, but I knew I needed to talk to the builders. They are pretty fast, so I could give them a call and tell them to be here tomorrow. I could also call Delta and let him know to bring any paperwork that needs to be done. That's what I told her.

“Let me call my Delta to let him know to bring the builders here. I'll give him the address so he can be here in the morning,” So that's what I did. I called my Delta Paul and let him know what's going on. He told me he had a few questions, but it was better that he asked me when he got there. He was happy I was spending time with my mate. We hung up the phone, then I told her,

“He will be here early in the morning. Is there an office I could use to do some paperwork he will be bringing? It won't take long for me to read through and sign,” I didn't want to overstep, so that was the reason why I had asked her. Things can go wrong real quickly, and I don't want that to happen. I wanted to spend as much time with her as I could.

“Yes, you can use my office to do that while I show your workers what needs to be done. But don't be too long. I would like for us to have breakfast together, and if it's not too much, lunch as well before you and your people have to go,” She turned her back to me as she turned the light out. She bid me good night. For the life of me, I could not sleep at all. I wondered if she fell asleep right away or if she was wide awake as well. I couldn't tell if she was sleeping. I wanted to get up and lay beside her. I wanted to hold her in my arms like I've been wanting to for the past three years. I pleaded for her to wake up, and now that she is finally awake, I still can't hold her in my arms. f**k, I needed to sleep, but I can't sleep at all. So I decided to text my Delta. My gamma is busy with his mate, and my beta is as well. So the only one that is left is my Delta. I texted him,

“Hey man, I can't sleep. I'm going to feel like total s**t in the morning.” I waited to see if he would text me back. After a few minutes, I saw him typing.

Typing ... “Hey alpha, why can't you sleep? Aren't you in bed with your girl?” I wanted to laugh out loud, but I couldn't. I didn't want to wake her up. So I told him the truth.

Typing back… “s**t man, she made me sleep on the couch in her room, but at least I'm in the same room with her. She's fast asleep while on this couch, wide awake.” I knew that would make him laugh. He was a playboy. Ever since his mate rejected him for another male from another pack, he told me he never wanted another mate. So he became a playboy and slept around with whomever he wanted to. He texted me back quickly.

Typing… “You need to get some sleep. We will be there in the morning with the building supplies, and you need to look over this paperwork. And guess who's coming as well. Rice and Alpha Creek are coming. She wants to see Laura. Maybe then the luna will get more of her memory back, who knows. But try and get some sleep. We'll see you in the morning.” I didn't text back. I closed my eyes, hoping I would get some kind of sleep.
