Chapter 14: Emily and the boy she likes.
Even though I have been awake for a few minutes now, I didn't try to move. I was very still. Anyone in my position would. Because I was currently lying naked in the arms of the boy I really like and this moment was perfect, it was better than the reality of having to go back to my shitty life, where I have to watch as Owen finds his true mate.
I watched him closely, especially his mouth. I thought about places that my mouth explored last night and it made me almost turn to crimson red as I blushed.
Damn! It was real. Emily Sanders was no longer a virgin. I wonder what my life would be like post Owen and his true mate. Will I turn into those clingy women that don't know when to let go or will I sabotage his relationship with his mate any chance I get?
Deep down, I knew I couldn't do that to Owen. There was no way I would intentionally cause him hurt.
I stood up to look for my clothes and I found them nearby and I wore them as silently as I could. If this was the walk of shame, I rather do it without any audience.
"You are not as quiet as you think, blockhead"
Owen's voice startled me and I turned around to look at him.
Wait! Was he supposed to call me blockhead after the night we just shared?
Come on, Emily…I knew I was overthinking things again.
"Shut up, jerk face!" I grabbed his clothes and I threw it at him to dress up.
It was a school day and we should be home, waking up in our own beds.
Owen stood up and put his clothes on too. I was almost about to take off in a run towards my house when I heard his voice in my head.
(No matter who the goddess chooses as my true mate, I want you to know that it was always going to be you. I wanted my first time to be with you, Emily girl)
I was surprised. Was Owen trying to be nice or was he being sincere?
"Why?" It was the only phrase I could think of.
"How do I put this? I am in love with you, blockhead. I have been for a very long time"
Owen changed into his wolf and took off leaving a very confused me behind to deal with the repercussion of his words.
"Owen, wait!"
It was too late.
I felt the first bout of emotion go through me. I knew I was on the verge of breaking down to tears like an infant but I wasn't going to.
I lied.
I did cry.
Great! Story of my life, I just found out the boy I like was in love with me the same day he was going to leave me for some she-wolf.
Great! My life was a freaking fairytale story written by a bad wicked witch that loves screwing with people.
I wiped my face. I guess, I have to live with that revelation for the rest of my life.
I almost made it home when I felt that a wolf was coming for me. I hoped it was Tabitha brown, I really needed to vent and she would make a great punching bag.
When I turned around it was Owen in his wolf form and his silver iris was at its brightest.
(Mate!!)
I heard his voice in my head.
Great! He found his mate already. I wasn't surprised, some people were born lucky and others were born…me.
(Mate!)
I froze as soon as Owen's wolf started to rub his fur on me.
Oh shit! Was he…am I…holy cow!
I am Owen's mate.
I hugged him tightly, praying with everything in me that this wasn't just some dream I was going to wake up from. I couldn't believe that something nice was actually happening to me....to me, Emily Sanders.
This was everything I had been praying for my whole life, I couldn't believe that -the moon goddess finally answered one of my prayers.
It didn't even matter that my first prayer was for my father to find me. I had Owen now. I have everything I wanted.
When I looked up again, he was in his human form and I was a sobbing mess.
"Mate" he whispered and kissed me. When he pulled away he was smiling just as hard as I was crying.
"You are my mate, Emily" then he touched my face "oh sweetheart, don't cry anymore. You are my freaking mate"
"Are you sure?" I blurted out because when something was too good to be true in life, they usually are too good to be true.
"I am, Emily girl. You are mine forever and I am going to enjoy breaking every single bone in my now uncle Phil's body for hurting you, precious"
I wasn't used to Owen calling me endearing names but I could get used to it. I kissed him again and again. I couldn't believe that even a wolfless girl can have a mate.
I pulled away once I remembered something important.
"Can my mother live with us? I can't leave her to die in that godforsaken house"
I knew that Owen had the right to decline the unusual request. Even I knew it was bizarre and a lot.
"Of course, blockhead"
And he is back!
So much for getting used to endearing names.
"When will you be accepting this union before the pack, Owen?" I was impatient. I wanted the whole ceremony and I wanted the proclamation.
"How about this evening? The whole pack will be present to celebrate my birthday....but I have to go, now. I have to tell the Alpha and his overprotective Luna" Owen turned around to leave.
I didn't think, I just blurted out what I was thinking.
"I love you, Owen"
He stopped walking. When he turned around, he had a look on his face. The same look he had when we made love last night. He walked closer to me and he brushed his lips lightly on mine.
"You have no idea, Emily"
He walked away. What does that even mean? I swear sometimes that dude talks weird.
