My mate’s mistress

Chapter 23. Mate?

He spoke, gauging my face for the reaction. He knows. My brother knows. I felt relief wash through me. He knew I wasn’t normal but he didn’t care and he still don’t. He’s still the same little brother I know. But how did he know. I hugged him as tears blurred my eyes.

“How did you know?.”

I asked as I pulled away.

“ know what?. That you’re not normal?.”

I nodded wiping my tears with the back of my hand.

“ remember when you strangled that boy jamol for me without actually touching him?.” He whispered

“ mhmm, yea” i looked up at him.

“ you didn’t forget right?. “

“ no I didn’t” I rolled my eyes

“ you said my..” I said before he joined me in saying. “eyes were glowing”

“ okay but that doesn’t say anything tho”

“ come on yolan no normal persons eyes would glow like that.” He laughed tugging on my hand for us to walk. I smiled looking up at him. “ so you’re not scared of me?.”

“ for what?. are you crazy?. I have a bad a*s big sister who seem to have powers and..”

“ sshhh, keep your voice down” he laughed

“ okay, okay. you never hurt me anyways.” He said as we walked back the rest of the way in silence.

we got to the pack house and saw a jeep that’s not usually here. We went inside and saw our parents now getting off of the lift.

“Mom, dad.” I ran and hugged them Andel did the same just not with as much emotions as I did.

“ I missed you guys.” I murmured hugging her tight.

“ aww baby I missed you too.” My mom’s eyes filled with unshed tears as she smoothed my hair.

I look to my dad and see he also has tears in his eyes.

“Oh. My baby girl. How you’ve grown.”

Dad envelopes me into a tight hug.

“Dad.. I c-can’t breathe.”

“ oh, I’m sorry.” He lets me go and I saw both of them are now crying

“ it’s only a couple of days. What’s wrong?.”

“ nothing” the both of them answered looking at one another. Okay, They’re acting suspicious, something is not right.

“Okay then. Andel and I have stuff to do, bye now.”

I grabbed onto Andel’s hand pulling him towards the stairs

“ we do?.”

“Yes we do.”

“ oh, okay”

“Are you guys leaving now?.” Andel asked them

“ no we might be here for another hour or so, why.” Mom answered

“ oh okay,nothing.” He waved them goodbye.

We got to my room and I left the door slightly open just so I can peek out now and then to make sure no one is listening to us.

Andel and I discussed what and how we were going to tell our parents about me.

We went back downstairs to find our parents only to see they were rushing out the door and into the vehicle along with eight or so bulky men. What’s going on.

“ mom, dad. What happened?.” I asked hurriedly seeing how everyone is rushing around.

“ honey you guys have to stay here there’s been an attack on the pack we have to go. But you guys have to stay here, you will be safe. Okay” my mom said all while crying.

“ no”

“ what?. What do you-“

“ I said no. I’m coming with you”

“ goddess no, Yolanda. You’ll be safer here you can’t come. It’s dangerous as it is that we’re going into an attack. Please you have to stay here.” I looked at her as the tears rolled down my face

“ okay.” I whispered

The two vehicles with the bulky men were already gone and they were the last to leave. I stood there watching them as they sped out the gate. Hot tears burned my eyes as I contemplate whether to go or not.

“ Yolanda, come on let’s go back inside. They’ll be alright.” Andel mumbled

“ do you know that for a fact.” I said looking over my shoulder. My voice sounded so cold that I didn’t sound like myself.

“ yes, they grew up here unlike us. They trained and..”he started to say but didn’t get to finish as I interrupt.

“ did they?.. they weren’t training in saint Vincent and they’ve lived there for how many years.”

“ okay but still, they’re wolves and mom, she’s.. you know..”I sighed.

“ yes Andel. Alright let’s go inside then. we’ll give them until tomorrow and if they don’t contact us I’m going there” I told him walking back into the house and he nodded.

It’s now late at night and the thought of my parents being killed in the attack got my nerves working. They haven’t been training as they should be back home at least not that I know of. I sighed, rolling on my back looking up at the ceiling wondering what if something did happen to them and that’s why they haven’t called to let us know they’re alright.

Something popped into my mind. The question that I had asked Gael and he didn’t answer. I decided to make a mental note to ask him again.

My throat was so dry and I was a bit hungry so I decided to go down to the kitchen to get something for myself.

Getting in the kitchen I drank some water first then I looked in the fridge to see what is there that I can use to make something quick to eat.

After a couple of minutes rummaging through the fridge I found ham, cheese, lettuce and tomato but no bread.

I let out a curse under my breath at not finding any bread. as I was putting back the stuff a voice startled me.

“ it’s in the pantry.”

I turned around to see evon coming into the kitchen in only a sweat pants.

“What?.”

“ the bread. Isn’t that what you’re looking for?.” I looked at him for a while before nodding.

“The pantry” he pointed towards the pantry.

“ why are you here.? Aren’t you afraid your girlfriend would find you here with me.” I asked him going into the pantry to get the bread.

“ I missed dinner, and she’s not here she went back to her pack this afternoon.” I turned around and started making myself a sandwich making sure to put honey and mayonnaise on it.

When I was done and about to bite into my sandwich he spoke.

“ you didn’t make me any?.” He look’s a bit surprised.

“Was I supposed to.” I asked after moving the sandwich from my mouth.

“ well no but, I-I told you I missed dinner. Thought you’d be nice enough to make me one.” He scratched the back of his head.

“ why because you told me where the bread was.” I raised an eyebrow.

“No but, it would’ve been a kind gesture.” He smiled.

“ well you didn’t ask for one.” I rolled my eyes putting the sandwich down on the plate.

“ did I have to.” I rolled my eyes turning away from him to gather the ingredients back from the fridge.

“ uhh yes. What if I had made it and you didn’t want it.”

I mumbled making the sandwich. I had already cut the tomatoes when I made mines so it was only to put the sandwich together.

Sliding it to him across the kitchen island on a plate he took it and mumbled.

“ thank you.”

He bit into it without even waiting

“ geez take your time”

“ ohh my god. this is delicious.”he mumbled softly with his mouth stuffed as he took another bite.

I sat and took a bite of my own. We were eating in silence for a good thirty seconds before he asked.

“ so, what’s your name.”

I pondered a while before swallowing what I had in my mouth to answer him.

“ Yolanda” I answered softly.

“ mm, that’s a nice name, my name’s evon.. but I’m sure you already know that.”

I nodded my head in response.

“ soo.. which pack are you from, I’ve never seen you at any of the packs I’ve visited.” I wondered if I should really tell him where I’m from but then again my parents put us here for a reason.

“ thunder banes.”

“ really I’ve been there a couple of times and I’ve never seen you there,”

“ that’s because I don’t like attention.”

The look on his face is like he’s adoring me. we both stared at each other for I don’t know how long.

I noticed that he’s cute but not that cute and looks to be a little bit shorter than my brother and muscle lean. He’s got brown hair his eyes a dark shade of brown sharp jawline. His lips looks so plump and inviting. Before I knew it I was pulled out of the trance by him saying something that I couldn’t hear.

“ huh, what?.”

“ I asked how you knew my cousin.” He asked taking my hand in his looking at my fingers and I wondered when and how did he ease so close to me without me knowing.

“ who?.”

“ Gael. my dad and his mom are siblings.” He murmured rubbing on the back of my hand and it felt so good. If I’m not crazy these sparks when we make skin to skin contact is a feeling I don’t want to end.

“ oh, so how is he a beta then.” I found myself asking him.

“ his dad is the beta that was mated to my aunt who is obviously an alpha. Though he’s a beta he also has alpha blood running in him.”I nodded looking up at him we both locked eyes. I got to admit, looking at him like this feels like the north and South Pole of two magnets pulling to one another. This pull.. is he my mate?. Is this the mate bond.
