Chapter 28: A rainy night

The rain had started to fall; quickly I carried my mate onto the porch. I glance back at my naked mate as I stood in front of my door. She slowly turns her head aside staring at the new surrounding she was unfamiliar with. I got closer to the door shifting within my human form. Outside had started to feel a bit chilly and I needed her to be inside where it was warm. Soon she was not the only one naked as I shifted and remain on the palms of my hands and my knees. Slowly I removed myself from the ground placing one of my hands against the door, opening it. I glance back again to look at my young mate seeing her eyes fixed on my bare firm ass. She turns her head aside shyly as I pushed the door open.

“Come, young she-wolf,” I called her softly.

She stood still while her head continued to turn aside afraid of staring at my muscular bare body. I touched her right hand; wanting her to follow me inside. Her entire body jumped frighteningly. Gently I pulled her into the cottage. I walked behind her slowly in closing the door. My hand slid away from her small right hand as I spin the lock on the door.

The rain had started to pour heavily on the roof, giving me a warm feeling inside. I have always loved the rain and having it now was the best time that I was alone with my mate. I turned towards my mate facing her sexy ass. She tried to use her long hair in concealing it. As I watched her from behind. I could see how uncomfortable she felt knowing I was behind her naked and I could too see her bareness no matter how hard she tried to use her hair in hiding it. I did not want her to feel so around me. I wanted her to feel comfortable. I wanted her to feel the same way when she jumped on my wolf excitedly wrapping her hands around me; happy to see me. I thought as I remembered the short, wonderful moment we shared within the forest.

“Walk straight upstairs; the first door you see is the bathroom,” I told her; so, she could get a hot bath before I made her something to eat.

Her body trembled by my voice. Quickly, she went upstairs closing the bathroom door. I slowly followed her upstairs and entered my bedroom too closing the door behind me as well. I went into my drawer and took out a white T-shirt and a long black pant putting them on. I suddenly realized my mate will need clothes as well. I lower my head to the last drawer remembering there were some clothes I had bought for Paisley when I had brought her to get some lone time here. The clothes were new for she had so many and left these behind if we should ever return; but sadly, she secretly ran off leaving me and I had found my mate which will never happen again.

I took out the long blue dress. It was beautiful. I stare at the soft expensive fabric within my hand seeing it will go well with her long white hair and her beautiful eyes. I started to feel anxious not being able to see her within it. I pushed my hand at the bottom of the drawer also searching for some undergarment she could wear as well. They were not new as well but were clean. I carefully examine the black bra and underwear wondering if it would fit her.

“No,” I said, placing back the bra into the drawer. It was too small seeing how large her breast was.

Quickly I exit my room heading to the bathroom carrying the dress and the underwear. I stood outside the door not hearing the shower anymore. She must be finished and is standing within the bathroom clueless of what she will be wearing and too afraid to ask, I thought. As I stood close to the bathroom trying to hear her, I heard nothing. She was silent as ever.

I knocked on the door wanting to give her the dress.

“Here are some clothes,” I told her from outside as I knocked on the door.

The door slowly opens allowing me to barely see inside. Not feeling comfortable giving her my ex-underwear she had once worn. I only gave her the new blue dress. She took it from me and quickly closed the door. I hurriedly return the underwear within my room and went back to the bathroom.

“Are you finish?” I inquired my mate from outside.

Her body needed food and too I was eager to see her within the dress, which was killing me. The door slowly opens and there I saw my beautiful white hair mate exiting the bathroom. She looked so radiant within the dress as if it were specially made for her. The long blue thin dress sat upon her voluptuous body as if it was her second skin.

“Follow me to the kitchen,” I instructed her foolishly instead of telling her how beautiful she looked.

She graciously walked behind me as I glance at her sideways enjoying everything there was of her. Soon we were within the kitchen. I instructed her to sit. My mate obeyed me. I went over to the stove sharing out some food my mother sent one of my pack members for me. Stew chicken, rice, and steam vegetables one of my favorite. I brought it to her accompanied by a glass of orange juice I quickly went for within the fridge and gave her.

“Eat,” I instructed her as I stood before her.

She again obeyed me and gently removed the fork from the plate beginning to eat. I watched her. Suddenly questions flooded my mind curious to know why she had left after I told her to wait for me within the letter, I had written for her.

“Why did you leave after I told you to wait for me?” I asked her dying to know.

She stopped devouring the meal; the minute I asked her.

“And why did you think I was dead?” I again inquired her.

My mate sat silently not answering me.

“Answer me, I commanded her; anxious to know. Did you receive the letter I left you; while you were fast asleep?” I inquired her.

“Yes,” my mate finally answered me. but in her blue eyes, I could see that something was not right.

“Why did you leave if you thought I was dead?” I asked her.

I was not sure if she cared about me as I did with her and was eager to know if she did or was just worried about the condition, I was in all because of the punishment I took for her.

“I don't know,” she answered me with her soft voice.

As I continued to stare within her eyes dying for the truth as to why she ran off. I wanted to be angry with her that she kept on withholding herself from me, but her beautiful eyes prevented me from doing so.

Thunder had started to roll heavily during the rain. My mate jumped up from her chair frighteningly terrified of the clashing sound of the thunder. I quickly got hold of my frightened mate and held her into my arms; bringing her head to rest onto my chest. Her heart raced scared as I held her. I took her up into my arms and carry her upstairs.

“There's only one room,” I informed my mate as I carried her into my room.

I place her down and exit my room; closing the door behind me; sadly. It hurts badly she did not trust me no matter what I did. I heard her dropped her bodily heavily on my bed, disappointed. I knew there was something she wanted to tell me but was not ready as yet. I head back downstairs into the kitchen placing the leftovers within the refrigerator and washing the plate my mate was eating from. I paused staring at the kitchen window into the darkness as I slowly dried the plate. I insert the plates into the dishwasher and raised my head staring at the ceiling above the room she was in. Being downstairs knowing my mate was upstairs was not easy at all. I wanted to be there with her holding her in my arms.

Suddenly I heard a scream; I quickly went upstairs as fast as I can entering the room. She cried as she saw me. I went over to her resting her head on my hard chest. Her body trembled within my arms.

“What is wrong?” I inquired her as I held her face, staring within her tearful blue eyes.

Not wanting to tell me she pushed away my hand returning her head onto my chest, terrified. I continued to hold her; worried about what had happened. I gently stroked her hair trying to comfort her.

“We may be total strangers. But I hope one day you will be able to trust me,” I told her with my powerful, rough voice.

She slowly closed her eyes hearing me said that. The entire night I held her. I watched her fell asleep peacefully within my hand. Enjoying her warm body within my arms; I drifted off to sleep.

“Liam! Liam!” I heard my mother calling me downstairs.

My mate jumped up from my chest from my mother's loud calling. I ran my hand across her left cheek and exit the room seeing it was morning already.

“Good morning mother,” I greeted her as I went downstairs; seeing she had prepared breakfast for me.

My mother gave me an angry look and went into the kitchen. I followed her and watched her as she flung down the food, she had carried for me on the kitchen counter angrily, creating a loud sound.

Suddenly she turned towards me. She looked at me disappointed and answered me.

Look at you Liam, today at 6 pm is the mating ceremony, and you are here hurt; just because of some stray she-wolf. I happy she's gone,” she cursed.

“Were you the reason she left?” I had to ask her; eager to know if she was the one who almost made her drowned.

“I had no choice, but to, my mother answered me; so, I took the letter you left for the stray and told Ivy to lie to her that you were dead and inform four of your pack members to chase her away. They were happy to do so," she said, proudly.

“What?” I shouted; cannot believe she did so.

“I only did so to protect you, son, she said. The powerful Liam I knew; was starting to behave weakly. I only did so because the members of your pack were having doubts about you. Your father was once the alpha of the dark shadow pack. He was a damn good leader, and I did not want you to ruin the legacy he left for you, for a stupid stray. Also, you are 25 years old, without a mate. An alpha needs his queen beside him. Not some stray you feel pity for,” she again said, strongly.

“Avery! I told her my mate's name. Her name is Avery,” I again told her.

Suddenly I heard the front door slammed. I quickly looked to see and there I saw my mate running away hearing my terrible mom and I conversation.

“Avery! Avery!” I called her; trying to stop her from running away.

She continued to run.
