I glared ather. Goddess! She was so damn stubborn. That got her to shut up. She blinked at me as if I had just spoken a foreign language.
Taylor’s sister-in-law? She’s like thirty-three…She looked confused.
Don’t I know it?I was just a few months younger than Raven. I knew she was doing the math.
But… she’s been mated for, like, twelve years…she replied. I could hear the realisation settle into her voice. Guilt flitted through me as she turned her blazing eyes on me.
Look, I’m not proud of it, but it happened just before I found out he was my mate. I was eighteen and an older woman hitting on you… it wasn’t that hard to fall for it. It was just sex, I sighed in frustration.So, just… stay out of it.
No… I don’t get it. She cheated on her mate? Goddess! Her mate is such a good person, too… Channing has always been so nice, he was injured…Although Kiara was able to save his life, there wasn’t much she could do about something that had been completely destroyed.
Yeah, he lost his legs in the battle of Hecate’s Betrayal, so his mate just-
She suddenly slapped me across the face, leaving a stinging pain behind.
So, you became her fucking whore! I hate people who cheat on their mates! And I hate when those they cheat with know they have a partner!She growled
I know… she was just fucking hot.
Men really do stick their dicks in every damn hole they see!
She stood there; her lips pursed, fists clenched, and I knew if someone saw us, they’d be fucking confused as to what the hell we were doing standing here silently glaring at each other.
I ended it when I found my mate. When I told her that we were done, she got angry and said she’d tell my mate and the damn pack that I assaulted her. I wouldn’t have cared if it was anyone else, but the fact that she’s Taylor’s brother’s mate could have destroyed him. I don’t know… his family would never have accepted me.She stared at me as if I had grown two heads, but she had visibly calmed down a little.
I thought you didn’t want to admit you’re gay,she mumbled sheepishly. I cocked a brow.
I’ve known I’m bi for years and I have no issue with that.I glared at her.Don’t be so nosy.
Hey, I’m not nosy! If I was nosy, I would have peeped around the tree that night to see what you two were doing!She protested, blushing. Fuck. I felt my cheeks burn and she grinned in triumph. LookZack, you can’t let that stop you from coming clean to Taylor. You’re hurting him more by not telling him. He probably feels like he isn’t enough,she said softly.
Taylor’s brother is like his fucking hero, if I told him… I don’t know what he’d think of me.
You won’t know until you do, Zack… continuing on like this isn’t helping anyone either.
I fucking know.
Now you know my issue... so why don’t you tell me what crap’s going on between you, Liam and Damon?It was only fair she shared. She looked down, before looking up at me after a moment.
They are both mated to me,she said quietly. I almost fucking gasped like a damn woman. Whoa...
Mated to you, or each other, too?
Me!She said, glaring at me, blushing again.
Where’s your mind going?I narrowed my eyes at her.
Nowhere, kid!She shot back huffing. I cocked a brow.
“Whatever, midget.”
“You didn’t just call me that!”
“I think I just did,” I replied. She glared at me before staring at her hands.
You know, Zack, don’t make the same mistake I did… you never know what might be if you give it a shot, rather than living unhappily with a ‘what if he rejects me’.Her words were true. I was scared of him rejecting me, or me hurting him.
Her situation was more fucked up than mine and if I kept this up, I might just lose my mate to someone else before even giving it a shot. Maybe I did need to talk to Taylor about this.
