Alpha And Her Human Mate

Chapter 21

"I'm a werewolf."

"You're what?"

"I'm a werewolf and leader of a werewolf pack," I said hoping it goes well.

"Okay?"

"Okay? What do you mean okay?" I couldn't believe he said that. It's like it's no big deal. He ignored my question.

"You said that rejection from one's mate can be a painful experience." He said with the slight accusation in his voice making me flinch.

"Rejection is a painful process for a werewolf but as you are a human, bond was not strong from your side. So it wouldn't have affected you much." I said carefully.

"You mean to say that you were okay with me causing you pain. Why didn't you tell me everything before? What else did you lie about?" He said with anger clearly showing from his eyes and body language.

"I…..I didn't want you to feel trapped in this relation. I want you to have the choice to accept.."

"Or reject?" He added accusingly.

"Yes." I sighed.

He started walking away from me and as I tried to stop him he said, " Please don't, I need some time to think about everything."

With that, he just walked away from me and the look of hurt in his face made Flicker whimper from pain and rejection. I need to believe that everything is going to be okay or I won't be able to function properly. And goddess knows I can't afford to lose my wits at such times.

I must have slept waiting for him as the next thing I know is strong arms wrapped around me and carrying me inside. They carefully placed me on the couch and kissed my forehead. Sparks spread in my body telling me that I'm in my mate's arm.

"I still can't believe werewolves are real not just some fiction or myth. And to top it all I'm mated with one." He sighed.

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Bad thing? No just hard to believe. And the weird thing is that I am not mad at you for hiding it, I'm mad at you for thinking that I could ever be okay with hurting you."

" I didn't mean it like that."

" I know now. It took me a while to understand your point of view and I might also have some help from Tyler."

"So…. We are okay? " I asked scared shitless that maybe he would want to end things.

" Yes, we are okay!" He laughed. " Now tell me more about it. I'm sure there are still dozens of things that I need to know about werewolves."

"Yes, there are." I smiled.

"So tell me, woman, what are you waiting for." He said with the fake accent.

"Well, we wolves, we age slower than humans and heal faster. Like way faster, you can literally see some wounds healing from your eyes. And we don't get sick normally, it takes a lot to make us fall ill."

"Wow, does this means that you would look like my daughter after some decades? And if you don't get sick and all then why does Jay were glasses?

"No, I don't think that you would ever look like my dad as mates we are made to live together. So Moon Goddess must have some plans for us. And Jay likes his glasses, he used to need them before but after his first shift his eyes healed or I don't know what is the right word here. But he continued to wear them cause he likes them."

"Cool, its good to know that I won't age normally. So basically you guys are invincible."

"No, we might be stronger than humans but we do have some weaknesses like.."

"Wait you are willing to tell me your weaknesses. Why?"

"Because I trust you that's why. So as I was saying before someone rudely interrupted me, we do have some weakness like silver, wolfsbane."

"How do you know that someone is your mate? I know you told me before but I feel that there is more to know."

"Our wolf starts acting up and then all of a sudden we smell the most amazing smell in the world. When we find that person it's like our whole world just stops and our wolf says... well basically yells one thing "mate" in our head."

"Your wolf?"

"Wolf is like a different person living in your head who has different personalities and attitude. And sometimes they take control of our body."

"Umm…can I see your wolf?"

I nod and took his hand and lead him outside. All the while Flicker is dancing happily in my head.
