Chapter 189: Wrong answer
Blue.
I have been thinking about him since we kissed.
It feels great to know that he feels the sa way and this is not just in my head. The fact that he responded to
so well, makes
feel ecstatic. I wish he was here with
on this getaway. I didn’t really want to go but Jules dragged
along with him, the sa way he dragged
along to the moonlight Pack. Yeah, our lives were at risk but I ended up eting Rex and I have to say, it made it all worth it.
The next day, after the welco ceremony. Walker Fields organizes a lunch between both packs. Jules has been pestering
to keep my eyes open. In case I find my mate. Well, I haven’t told him that I know who my mate is. Maybe I just want to keep it to myself for a while. My heart still throbs anyti I even think of him. His beautiful brown eyes, underneath his glasses. My wolf is completely in awe of him.
"Make sure you look around. There might be a girl to your fancy here,’’ Jules slaps my back encouragingly.
I don’t need a girl. I have soone already. I know I should tell him but I don’t know how he will take it. I don’t really have a relationship with the man. I never knew him growing up. I took this year as the ti to get to know him. That is why I have been following him around. I have co to know that Jules is very lonely. He is always on his own and he might act like he is content with that but I see right through him. He has gotten so used to having
around that I don’t know how he will react when he finds out that I don’t want to leave the Moonlight community. Deciding to stay is my only way to get to know Rex. My wolf wants to rush and take things to the mating level but I want to get to know everything about him. I want to know his favourite foods, his pet peeves, what he likes in a man and if I fit into the criteria. I don’t just want to do this thing with him, half-assed. I want to take him out on a date, buy him gifts. I want to be his only source of happiness.
"What are you daydreaming about?’’ Jules interrupts my thoughts.
"Nothing,’’ I look up at him. He is rummaging through his clothes. We are supposed to be getting ready for lunch. I have been thinking of calling Rex because I haven’t heard from him since the kiss. Would that make
clingy? Maybe I should just send him a text.
Hey.
I decide on a casual ssage. Nothing too serious.
"Jules,’’ I call him.
He drops the t-shirt on the bed and looks at
"Yes son.’’
Hearing him call
son is still weird to . I haven’t gotten used to it. Born in a coven of witches. I have lived with won all my life. When I found out about him, it was too late. I had already grown up. All the questions that I had as a kid were answered when he ca into my life. I haven’t spoken to mom ever since I found out. That is how angry I was.
"When do you plan on leaving?’’
He ntioned that coming to the community was going to be temporary. So now that they don’t need him anymore. I am sure he will go back ho. I don’t even feel at ho in his house. Maybe I was ant to find out about him being my father just so I could et Rex. At the end of it all, it is fate; which I strongly believe in.
"Next week, why?’’
I sigh. I guess I have to tell him that I intend on staying. Nothing is going to make
leave so soon. I have to stay with him. I need him.
"I was thinking of staying for a little while,’’ I breathe out the words heavily.
He furrows his brows "Why?’’ he is curious. I know anyone would be. There is no reason whatsoever why I should stay.
My phone beeps, it is probably a ssage from Rex. I look away from my father and straight to my ssages. The ssage is simple. Nothing special but it brings a smile to my face.
Rex: Hi, Blue.
The sa as the one I sent but it sends
over the moon. Fuck, I have it bad.
"Who are you texting?’’ Jules asks curiously.
He is suspicious. I guess I am acting suspicious "No one."
I know he doesn’t believe
but he changes the topic back to our previous conversation "Why do you want to stay?’’
I shrug. I can’t tell him about Rex yet because I don’t want this thing to be rushed. As I said, I want to take my ti. I want to take things slow because I want this to be natural. I want to fall in love with him on my own. Not because the deities said so.
"No reason in particular."
He raises a brow. I don’t even sound the least bit believable but I hope he doesn’t question my decision "You are supposed to be getting to know ,’’ he reminds
of the reason why I am with him in the first place.
I nod my head "I know. Just a couple of weeks. I want to figure sothings out. Stay with a pack. Know how that feels. Can I?’’
I know I am guilt-tripping him. Reminding him that he doesn’t have a pack of his own. That he is all alone but this is part of the reason why I even went to live with him. He has taught
all I need to know about being a werewolf but I need more than just him. I need Rex now.
"Is there any other reason besides that?"
I shake my head. As I said, I am not letting him know about this yet. I want to take my ti. I want to do this slowly.
"Alright. You can stay for two weeks but I need you back with
after that. Is that doable?"
I nod imdiately. Two weeks is not enough ti but I will just keep elongating it when he is not around. It is not like he would drag
away from the pack forcefully.
I look away from him and back to my phone. Quickly sending a ssage.
I miss you.
If anyone had told
that I would be a cheesy motherfucker, I would have scoffed in disbelief but here I am, sending cheesy ssages to him and not even feeling stupid.
He replies instantly.
Rex: I miss you too. The weekend never felt longer.
The fact that he misses
too makes this all worth it. The lies, the secrets. All the shebang. I plan on basking this feeling for as long as I can. I want to be in this bubble with him for a long ti.
***********************
"Your dad said you plan on staying for a while," Beau asks. It doesn’t seem like he is opposed to it. Sohow, he seems happy about it.
The lunch goes by quickly. I am beside Beau and Jules. So I am forced to have a conversation with the two of them. Usually, I like to keep to myself. I like to do things on my own but now I have to interact with people.
"Yeah,’’ I respond.
He smiles "You know, it will be great if this could be a permanent thing. The pack could do with your skills.’’
Yeah, I am sure but that is not the reason why I am staying. I don’t tell him that because like I said. "Yeah, I want to learn a thing or two from you." I lower my voice, shifting closer to him "I wouldn’t mind staying permanently."
That is the plan. I want to make a ho with him. I want to have a life with Rex. It is like the only thing I am looking forward to and I just found out yesterday.
"Because of Rex?’’
My eyes shoot up to his face. It seems like I have been caught. I didn’t want anyone to know yet. So much for keeping things low key.
"What are you talking about?’’
He chuckles "I know when soone has found their mate. I could tell from the beginning. You don’t have to hide it from ."
I sigh "Can you just keep this a secret for now?’’
He nods "Your secret is safe with ." he winks. I am certain he is glad to be the first to know. When I think about the Alpha of a pact. I think of strict and unfriendly but Beau is the opposite. He is easy to talk to.
I reach for my phone. It has been a while since I heard from him. "I’ll be back in a second.’’
I walk out of the dining room until I am outside. The cool air hits . I dial Rex’s number and it rings imdiately. Hearing his voice will even be better than texting.
"Hello,’’
I freeze at the voice that answers. It is unrecognizable to .
"Who is this?’’
