The Alpha's Mate

Trust

I watched Carly as she sat across from me at my kitchen table. She continued to play with her fingers and tug at them I guess In a attempt to waste time.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I finally asked after minutes of us sitting in silence.

Carly looked up at me and smiled. Her eyes were still weak and red from crying.
"Wes is my boyfriend." She stated with much attitude.
Just Before I could respond she cut me right off with her finger raised in the air.
"Yet he's worried about you."

"Carly we have a bond." I sighed. "I'm not expecting you to understand it. And you definitely can't blame me for how he feels about me." I stated folding my arms.

Carly nodded and pressed her lips together while looking down at the floor and then suddenly, broke out into tears. "I'm sorry." She sobbed with her hands on her face. "I'm sorry for how I'm acting I just don't know what to do." She cried softly.

I felt bad for her i did. I would hate to be in her shoes I couldn't imagine how she felt right now. I bet she was in love with him and now I'm back and he's all wrapped in me suddenly. It's not even in a romantic way with us and we know that and so should she. But I wouldn't expect her too understand.
It's just a bond. A sacred friendship that won't ever break and that's just how it is and how it will always be, no matter who is in our lives.

"Wes and I just have a strong friendship Carly, I'm sure he's crazy for you just like you are for him." I told her softly. I honestly didn't really know how he felt about her but him telling me that she was his 'Girl' confirmed that he did have feelings for her.

"Are you sure?" Carly looked at me with hopeful eyes. Of course I found Wes attractive. He was extremely handsome. Him and Toby looked like they were created by the Greek gods themselves and made them strictly handsome. Not a flaw anywhere.

"Yes I'm sure." I nodded. Wes and I just weren't like that. We use to cuddle and sleep together., kiss on the cheek but we were young, and loved each other. No title needed. Just best friends forever.

With that said, Carly left my house with an awkward goodbye. I walked her to the door and was at least glad she stopped crying. We waved to each other and I watched her drive away. I knew she still didn't understand Wes and i's connection but what can I say? Half of my life I didn't even understand the bond between us three we just all learned to except it so I didn't expect her to understand it either.

Carly was in a sticky situation. She was either going to play the blind eye and pretend Wes and i's bond didn't exist or she would break things off with him because she knows deep down that she will never have what he and I have. Which was sad but it was our reality.

After the awkward good bye I did my homework and waited for mom to get home. I wanted so badly to go over to the pack house with everyone else and just hang out like old times but the thought of running into Toby was terrifying and Since he lived there and all it was expected for me to see him.

I decided to shower, watch a little tv and let hours pass me by. Mom still didn't come home by 10:00pm so I knew she was probably staying at Natalie's.

'Mom' I called through Mind Link.

'Im at Natalie's honey, is everything okay? Do I need to come home?' She rushed out immediately and i smiled.

'No I'm fine just checking on you. I was actually heading to bed.'

'Good Juliana, I love you, I'll have breakfast ready by the time you are awake, goodnight sweetie.'
