Chapter 16 – I'm Sorry

His smile broadens as he lies back down on me, pressing our bare chests together as he kisses me again and again.

"Alex? Are you awa-"

I gasp as Mason opens my bedroom door and Jake quickly covers my bare chest with his hands. Despite the fact that mason just walked in on us I can't help but laugh at Jakes reaction and the fact that he has his hands on my breasts. He looks down at me and smiles a little.

"Sorry I … switch?"

I laugh again

"Yeah."

I pull a pillow over his hands and he slips them out from under the pillow and off my chest.

"Alex what are you doing?"

Mason whisper yells as he shuts the door behind him.

"Get away from her!"

He yells at Jake.

"Mason calm down."

"Dude get out or turn around so she can put a shirt on."

Jake is trying so hard to stay calm and I love him for it but I know he won't be able to keep his cool for long.

"You just get away from her!"

Mason takes a step toward him and Jake laughs cause he knows he could crush him.

"Mason please…"

I plead and after a minute he gives in and turns away. Jake finds pajama shirt and hands it to me. I quickly pull the shirt over my head.

"Kay I'm good."

I announce and Mason turns back around looking just as furious as before, if not more.

"I wont let you take advantage of her like this! I wont let you pressure her into doing anything with you! I can't let you hurt her!"

Mason yelled at Jake. Jake laughs a fake laugh in annoyance.

"My sole purpose in life is to protect and love her. You can't even begin to understand what's going on here."

"I know exactly what's going on here."

Mason hisses. I sigh. I have to set him straight once and for all.

"No you don't Mason. I'm sorry but Jake is my soul mate. I'm entirely his now. I'm sorry you had to find out like this but… I looked for you in those woods for months… you came back too late. I'm with Jake, and I can't imagine being with anyone else."

I smile up at Jake and he smiles back at me. This is right. I loved Mason but Jake… well I'm his imprint and you know what? He's my imprint too.

"Alex you said you loved me. He's just a phase you're going through. You don't love him like you love me."

I shake my head and grab Jakes hand.

"No Mason."

He looks crushed and it breaks my heart but I can't change what happened between Jake and I. I just don't love Mason like I used to.

"But the necklace, it showed how we felt about each other. Where is it? I'll prove that you love me."

I sigh and walk over to my nightstand to pull it out of the drawer. I walk back over to them and Jake is looking at me, nervously, but he shouldn't be.

Mason takes the necklace from me, puts it on, and grabs my hands; the necklace glows read.

"See I love you Alex."

Jake is shifting from foot to foot nervously as I take the necklace from Mason and put it on.

"But I don't Mason. I'm sorry."

The necklace remains dull and unglowing. I let go of Mason's hands and walk back over to Jake. He gives me a half smile and takes my hand. The necklace shines a bright red as we stand holding hands.

"I love Jake now."

Jake smiles and I smile back

"H-how could this happen?"

"It's complicated."

I tell him.

"But Mason I hope we can still be…"

He cringes before I even say it.

"Don't bother Alex. I don't want to hear it. I could never be just your friend. I can't walk around here like it's all fine, like its fine that your with this Monster. I can't do that"

He walks out angry and upset and I can't help but feel bad. I still care about Mason I just don't love him. I sigh. Jake wraps his arm around my shoulder giving it a squeeze

"So… that thing magical or something?"

he asks pointing to the necklace still around my neck. I laugh and roll my eyes.

"Yeah it's charmed."

"Cool."

I laugh again and push him backwards toward my bed.

"You think you'll be able to use your extra strength wolf hearing to tell if my parents are coming so you can stay over tonight."

His wicked smile is back and it makes me laugh.

"Oh I can definitely do that."

"Good."

I smile and climb into bed; Jake stands at the foot of my bed not following me.

"What? Get in."

I laugh

"Alex I don't want to sleep in my jean shorts."

"Boxers are fine."

He smiles that same wicked smile.

"I'm not wearing any boxers. That's too much to carry when I phase."

"Oh"

I blush and pull out my wand from my nightstand. Once in boxers he climbs into bed next to me and immediately wraps his arms around me from behind.

"Your hair smells like vanilla."

He says before kissing the back of my neck; it gives me chills.

"Just behave yourself tonight Jake. Play time is over. Time to sleep."

I laugh.

"Alright."

He whines, making me laugh again. He pulls me closer to his body, keeping me nice and warm. We lay there for a few minutes and I cant help but think about Mason.

"Jake?"

"Yeah"

He says and I can tell he's falling asleep.

"I feel really bad about everything with Mason."

"I know you do."

"I wish there was something I could do. Maybe we can find him a girlfriend. Oh! And we have to give Harper and Zeek a boost. Their relationship is crawling along they haven't even kissed yet."

He laughs and I flip over to face him.

"What?"

I ask with a smile.

"Your going to be a handful, aren't you?"

I smile

"Yeah… and your stuck with me"

He laughs again and kisses me softly.

"Let's worry about it tomorrow. It's very late. Go to sleep."

He says closing his eyes with a sweet smile still on his face.

"Okay fine."

I say and snuggle into his chest.
