My mate’s mistress

Chapter 44. Don’t trust him!

It’s been almost three months now since I came back to SVG and I’d like to think it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I found being by myself was more of my thing than being around people.I felt at peace.

I text or sometimes give my parents a call just to let them know how I’m doing and vice versa. evon and I had been communicating and getting to know each other and it was going well so far. He was sad that I left without saying anything to him but also said that he understood.

We’d be on the phone late at night. I’d fall asleep and wake up to him still on the phone. He would sometimes just be on video call watching whatever movie I was watching saying he enjoys just being on the phone spending time with me, just not physically. I have to admit that he has grown on me.

So now here I am waiting on my flight from LA to Toronto. I really prefer nonstop flights but my parents are still paranoid about other packs finding out we live in SVG, or even finding out about it because to be honest no one really knows about it. Whenever people would talk about Caribbean countries SVG is most time not mentioned.

Evon and my parents are already at the airport waiting for me. After passing through security check and getting my luggage I am being greeted with a tight hug from my dad.

“ oh I missed you so much. Thank god you made it safe. How was the flight.” My dad said and mom laughed making me laugh as well.

“I missed you guys too. Phone calls and texting wasn’t doing it.” I told them.

mom seemed a little hesitant to come to me and I know it’s because we got into it before I left but I missed them so much. Who can really be mad at their parents for long. I walked to her hugging her tightly, and she hugged me back. I smiled and let out a sigh, enjoying the familiar motherly embrace.

After breaking the hug. My eyes drifted to evon who’s was just standing there like he’s really holding himself back. I had told my parents about Evon being my mate and they were honestly shocked. Mom said she thought it would’ve been Gael and dad.., we’ll he didn’t really say anything much other than a raised eyebrows and a nod.

I walked to him suddenly feeling shy and I can feel a blush creeping on my cheeks as I stood in front of him.

He Let out a shaking breath before pulling me into a hug and burying his nose into my hair inhaling my scent. When I felt him press his forehead, I hugged him back.

We’re just standing in silence taking in each other’s warmth, enjoying the rush of the sparks until my father spoke.

“ ehem.. we need to get going it’s already late. Yolanda, are you staying with us or-“ he then asked.

I looked at him before looking back at evon. “ no, I-I’m staying with evon. I-in my own room, of course.” I stuttered. I cringe at how I sounded and mentally facepalm myself.

“ oh.” He said then shifted his eyes to evon with suspicion.

“ okay.” He continued before he took my luggage and started walking. my mom gave me an apologetic look before motioning us to walk.

I can tell evon isn’t in his good grace book but with time I think he will.

“ I don’t think your dad likes me.” Evon whispered near my ear with a little chuckle and I Giggled. Knowing he was right I just wanted to put him at ease for a bit so I held his hand. I went with evon while my parents took my luggage.

Pulling in the gate of the pack house and parking the car evon got out ran around the front of his car to open my door then went to get my luggage from the mini van that my parents used. “Yolanda. I want to talk to you for a bit.” My dad said.

I motioned for evon to go as he was already taking the suitcase.

“ yes, dad?.”

“If you don’t feel comfortable here even for one second you let me know right away and I’ll come and get you, okay.”

“ why would I not feel comfortable.” I asked confused.

“That’s a bit much, Wyatt.” Mom told him

“ well I’m sorry but I don’t trust him.”he grumbled with a side glance to mom.

“ he is her mate, you can’t keep them apart, look at how she’s lost weight. She’s been away from him for too long Wyatt. just let them be.”

“ she’s my daughter-” Dad began to say

“she’s also mine. You know more than anyone how it feels to fight for your mate Wyatt.” Mom cut him off looking at him with a frown.

“ neither of us had Ill intentions Nora. And you should want the best for her.”he said with a frown.

“Well sometimes you don’t always get what you want.” Her matter of fact tone let’s me know if they keep going like this it wouldn’t end.

“ okay you guys, enough. I don’t want you guys arguing over me, I’ll be fine. ”I interrupted their little exchange.

“ okay. Just remember-” dad began with a sigh.

“ yes, call you to come get me if anything, yes, yes, I get it. now can I go I’m really tired.”

“ alright..we’ll let you go and rest. I love you.” Mom said as she hugged and kiss my forehead.

“ I love you too. I love you dad.” I stretched my hand to hug him and he came and squish mom and I in a hug.

“ love you my little princess.”

“ I’m not little anymore.” I told him.

“ you’ll always be little to me” We laughed

After seeing my parent off I went to my room to see evon packing my things out and packing them where they’re supposed to be.

Who is this guy. It’s as though he’s a completely different person.

He already had my sleepwear place on the bed. Taking my shoe off I sighed in relief.

“ I ran you a warm bubble bath. It’s coconut and vanilla scented, just how you like it.” He said quietly as he took my clothes putting them into the drawer.

“ oh.. thank you.”

I went in the bathroom quickly stripping my clothes and sank into the warm water closing my eyes and resting my head back.

The water smells so nice and made my skin feel soft to the touch. This is so relaxing.

I must have drifted off because my left leg felt cold as it was being massaged but I didn’t know if I was dreaming or it was happening for real. I opened my eyes and saw evon sitting on the edge of the bath tub with my foot in his hand.

“ you’re awake. you fell asleep by the time I came in and I didn’t want to wake you.”

“ how long was I asleep for.”

“ maybe an hour or two. ” he wiped his hand on his pants and took his phone to Check the time. “ it’s 12:24 now.” I looked at him shocked

“ why didn’t you wake me.” I said as I tried to sit up pulling my foot back in the warm water.

“ you were tired and you looked peaceful. I drained some of the water and refilled it with warm water because it was getting cold and no I didn’t look at you.” He said before he got up “Hold on let me get your towel”

He came back with the towel, lotion and my sleepwear and went back out. I dried myself, lotion my skin and put on my clothes then went out to see him by the door.

I felt bad that he stayed and basically watched me sleep while he massaged my feet.

“ you can stay.” He looks at me as if he didn’t hear what I said.

“ if you want.” I added. He grinned and without wasting any time he walked to the bed and sit before taking his shoe off.

“ just so you know, I sleep naked.” My eyes popped wide open and he laughed before saying.

“ I’m kidding. I do sleep in my boxers though.” He smiled. My face heats up as he stood only in his boxers. getting in bed I lay on my back a little stiff, not sure what to do.

“ come here. I want to hug you while I sleep.” I gazed at him for a couple seconds before moving over to him and we did just that.

We slept, tangled with one another.

****

As the days go by it came natural to be with evon. I found myself wanting him around me more, he even said he loved that I was starting to be open with him. We’re going on a date tonight and I can’t wait. I’m a little scared because this is the first time he’s taking me out and I don’t even know how to keep up a conversation with him. Well I do but that was over the phone. Now, we’re face to face.

While I was standing looking at the three different suit of clothes on the bed I felt hands embrace me. I giggled and turned around to hug him when he lightly pecked my lips. I blushed, hugging him tightly and he laughed.

“ I don’t know what to wear.” I mumbled still holding him.

“Let me dress you. Not literally.. I mean let me pick your clothes out.”

“Don’t make me look crazy” I told him playfully. He laughed. I let go of him and watch him walking back and forth from the drawer to the closet until he’s finished.

He picked out a beige crop tank top, high waist damage jeans and and beige stilettos.

“ that’s..”

“ sassy eh.”

“ mmm.. a little” I smiled awkwardly. He stared at it in silence.

“ you don’t have to wear the heels you can wear the sneakers. It’s up to you” he said pointing at the white shoe, then he looked at me.

“ wear the heels, we’ll take the sneakers in case you change your mind.”

He went to get ready and I did as well when he came back he had on a Jean jacket and pants to match my pants and a white and beige t-shirt and white airforce.

We went to a Mexican restaurant not too far. We ate then talked and I can honestly say he knows how to keep a conversation going. But then he brought up, Auri. As much as I didn’t want to talk about her, he explained to me why he was with auri . Why he had to put up with her.

“ I don’t want you to think that I want her like that, okay. My dad, his dad ..wanted to be bonded to auri’s pack for a long time, he said that they wanted to for generations but never got to. once being in an alliance with that pack we would be secured.”

“ what do you mean.” I asked curiously.

“ no other pack or rouge’s for that matter would attack us. we’d be neutral to all. We’d be set financially, not that the pack isn’t doing well financially I mean if there’s ever a setback we could always depend on them.”

“So what do they get In Return?.” I asked and he shrugged.

“ I treat auri well.” I sucked in a deep breath, looking down at my fingers. I can feel my eyes stinging from the tears building up. I quickly blinked them away and nodded.

“ so..where would that leave me.”

“ for now we just have to.. keep us a secret.”I looked at him with a frown about to say something but he stopped me.

“ please, Yolanda. Just until I secured the pack with this. I don’t want to disappoint my father.”

“ a secret? Really evon?, I’m your mate. don’t you think I’d be disappointing mine if I agree to this.” I scoffed. I suddenly feel my chest tightened. I looked away shaking my head.

“Give me a chance, please. I promise I’ll-”

“Just take me home.” I said while I stood up and he sighed.

The drive back home was dangerously quiet. Too quiet.
