Chapter 5
Pedro~~
While they laughed at my situation, I decided to reach out to her through our bond. A wave of anger and confusion washed over me. I searched for the reason. She was asking about the marks on her body. It made my wolf howl with pride that our mate had our markings. I pulled away from her mind and put up my walls to give her some privacy. "She, uh, discovered the marks." I said. "How is she taking it?" asked Costin. "Not well if Jaque is blocking me from her mind." Fane laughed. "All I saw was the door fling open and then Jen shut me out." Decebel explained. "None of you saw her right?!" I growled at them. They shook their heads no. I did my best to calm my wolf but I knew my eyes were glowing. I took a few breaths and stared out the window.
Kaity~~
"What is this? Why do I have tattoos all of a sudden? How long was I out?" I demanded. "That's a part of the mate bond we were telling you about!" Sally said. "Just get dressed and we will tell you about it." Jen laughed. "No, I want answers now!" I yelled. "Well when you find your true mate, a mark or tattoo appears on your skin. It is like a puzzle piece and it will fit your mates mark." "I didn't find anyone! So how is that possible? Oh crap if you tell me that one of those perverts is my mate I'll scream!" "No calm your naked butt down. Apparently you don't need to meet your mate before the mating signs show up. I guess distance doesn't matter that much either. He is the one that protected you from Alina. And he carried you in here to the infirmary." Jaque told me. "Well where is he? Why hasn't he shown himself?" Why don't you ask him? True mates can speak to each other telepathically. Just reach out to him. And goodness sakes put on some clothes!" Jen pointed out. Oh, okay. Well I guess I should try. I walked back into the bathroom to finish getting dressed. I out my clothes on and "reached" for something and I encountered a wall. I pushed against it and it disappeared. I felt love, passion, and it felt like home!
Hello? ~Welcome my Luna. ~Who are you? ~Your… um I am Pedro. ~You're… um. ~You know what I am? ~You are my mate. I could hear him rumble with pleasure like a cat purring. It made me laugh. The love I felt increased and washed over me. It was amazing and frightening. I automatically withdrew and put up my own walls. Everything they said was true just like I thought. Do I love him, but I don't know him. But I felt like I have known him my whole life. I stepped out of the bathroom.
Pedro~~
I put my fist through the wall. I scared her How could she fear my love for her. "Ugh! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" I growled. "What happened?" Costin inquired to the whole in the wall. "She reached out." "Well that's good." Costin smiled at me. "You overwhelmed her, didn't you?" Fane asked "And she shut you out." Decebel remarked. "Yes and yes. It was going great. She accepted that I am her mate. I even made her laugh. She recognized that I really do love her. I couldn't help myself; I tried to show her how much I love her. I felt her fear as she slammed up her walls." I sighed. "I warned you." Fane teased me. I growled at him and quickly realized my disrespect. I bared my neck to the prince. He gave me a slight nod of acknowledgement and smiled. "I don't mean to upset you. But this is why I told you to wait. Look we all have made the same mistakes. We pushed our mates to the edge of no return. But the love is real and we worked hard for their forgiveness. I know it sounds crazy but she will open up. Trust me her wolf is demanding that she opens up to you." Fane finished. I hope he is right. I don't know how much longer I can wait. I took a seat and continued to wait.
