Chapter 32: The return of my first love, Paisley

My mate hid her body against mine; as we both laid near the pond having only the darkness to conceal our naked bodies. I gaze at my runaway first love, standing before us under the moonlight. Dressed in a beautiful white dress. She stares at us heartbroken with tears within her eyes. I could not believe it was her standing before me; after I had searched for her for seven years in bringing her home where she belonged, with me. It was late she had returned to fight for our love now. I had found my one true mate and my heart only belongs to her.

Detesting what was happening, my mate gently pushed her body away from me, trying to get away from what was happening. I held her, stopping her. My beautiful white hair she-wolf glance at me by my touch and turned her head staring at my first love. Her eyes widen worriedly. I glance at Paisley and jump up quickly catching her.

"Why?" Paisley asked me softly as she slowly closes her green eyes, passing out.

It was heartbreaking seeing her like this recollecting the loving relationship we were once in; before she decided to run away, loathing we were not blessed by the moon goddess in being each other mates.

I carried her within my arms to the fountain where I had hidden my clothes before I had chased my mate. I stopped and turned to look at my beautiful mate before I leave. She watched me sadly.

"Promise me you won't leave?" I told her.

She nodded telling me she won't. I hurriedly carried Paisley away. As soon as I reached the fountain. I place her down; fixing her bright red hair that covered her face. And hurriedly went in search of my clothes I had hidden. I put on my pant only, wanting to return to my mate right away.

"What happened to her?" I heard a worried voice behind me. I turned around and saw it was my mother.

"She passed out," I answered her.

Jennifer immediately got to Paisley and touched her face anxiously. My mother loves Paisley as if she was her daughter. She did not care that Paisley and I were not mates. She was willing to accept her no matter what.

"When she wakes up, please help her home," I told Jennifer. As I returned to my mate, who was waiting for me.

"Where are you going?' "And why are you leaving her after she has returned just for you, Liam," my mother questioned me infuriated.

I ignored her, going my way.

My mate stood within the dark where I had left her; waiting on me to return. I was worried that she would have run off leaving me after what had happened, but gladly she stayed.

"Here, put this on," I gave her the dark underneath shirt I was wearing within my suit; wanting to get her away quickly out of this mess. I knew my mother very well and that she will surely create a scene tonight. I did not want my mate to run off not wanting to deal with something like this.

As soon as she finished attiring my clothes. I took her by her hand carrying her behind me.

"Where are you taking me?" my mate inquired me as she followed me.

"Home," I answered her. Wanting to be alone with her.

She pulled her hand away from me.

"No," she told me; refusing to come along.

I turned to look at her; staring within her blue eyes that were as beautiful as the moonlight.

"I won't let you leave; knowing you are mine," I told her softly. "If I have to lock you up within my house and pamper you like the queen you are, I will," I again said. Allowing her to know no matter what she says or tries to do, I will never let her go.

She stood surprisingly at what I had said.

"Come with me," I stretched out my right hand calling her.

She stood wilfully; refusing to come with me. I had no choice but to hold her by her hand, pulling her behind me forcefully.

"Why does the moon goddess bless me with such a stubborn mate," I cursed as I carried her.

My mate and I were back within the garden in heading home. I pulled her closer to me allowing her side to rub against my body as we passed the crowd.

"How dare you disgrace Paisley like this?" I heard my tormented mother from the right; ready to create a scene. I held my head straight not in the mood to deal with my mother.

"Are you going to embarrass her like this after she returned just for you?" my mother again inquired me angrily.

I stopped about to put an end to her scene she was creating and as the alpha, she knew I would punish her caring less that she was my mother. I suddenly changed my mind not wanting to allow my mom terrible ways to make my mate see me as a heartless wolf, which I was not. I took my mate up within my arms. Carrying her as if she were a baby safely within my arms. My annoying mother had to accept the fact that Avery was my one true mate and not Paisley. Yes, I had a wonderful past relationship with Paisley, but I will never go back to her. What we once had will never happen again.

"Please Liam," my mate again started to beg me as she tried to become free from my arms. She was uncomfortable with what was happening around her and thought being away from me would somehow solve the issue, which was bullshit.

"Just let me leave," she repeatedly begged me.

I Suddenly felt so fucking angry that the return of my first love and my horrible mother's actions were affecting my Luna.

"Liam, Liam," I heard Paisley starting to call me. I walked straight, refusing to listen to her as well. I was not interested in what she was about to say. There was nothing that could change my mind from ever losing my mate.

Paisley ran in front of me quickly, stopping me. Outside of the garden.

"Liam, please let us talk," she begged me with tears within her eyes.

"Talk," I instructed her harshly.

"Alone, please," she stares at my mate within my arms.

I slowly placed my mate down deciding to hear what the fuck she wanted. I told my mate to wait on me and followed Paisley under a tree. I hated I had to leave my Luna; knowing how badly she must feel seeing me walking away to talk secretly with another she-wolf. As Paisley stood in front of me, I then realize it was good we were alone so I could make her understand that there were no longer us nor will it ever be.

"Talk quickly; I need to take my mate home," I told her harshly.

"Please don't speak to me that way, Liam," Paisley said. "I know you're angry with me for leaving you without a word. I am too angry at myself, but all along I was away from you. I never stop thinking about you. I still love you, Liam," she told me as she got close to me placing her right hand on my hard chest.

"What we had was a long time ago," I told her.

"No, we can work this out; all you have to do is to reject her, for me, for us," she said.

My wolf became angered by her words, hating the thought of rejecting our beautiful mate.

"You don't love her, you're angry at me for leaving you and so you think you love her in getting even with me," she told me.

I gently removed her hand, resting on my beating heart.

"I love Avery and there's no place within my heart for another she-wolf," I told her as I turned away from her.

She cried and continue to beg me in taking her back. Swiftly I went over to my mate and took her up within my arms carrying her away.

******************

I placed my mate on the porch and open the door. I again took her up within my arms and closed the door behind me, bringing her upstairs.

"Go and use my shower," I instructed her as I place her down within my bedroom.

She slowly enters the bathroom, closing the door behind her. On her face, I could see how affected she was by what had happened. The night was going so well while we were trying to bond until my mother ruins everything. I discovered tonight she was the one who called Paisley. I did not know how she knew to find her nor was I interested in finding out.

I went in my drawer for a shirt she would wear until the next day I purchase some clothes for her. I stood at the bathroom door until I no longer heard the shower running. I bang against the door.

"You'll have to wear one of my T-shirt again; until tomorrow I carry you to buy some new clothes," I told her.

"Please pass it to me," she answers inside the bathroom softly.

'It's on the bed," I told her as I walked over to my large king-size bed, laying the shirt onto it.

"Okay, but can you push it through the bathroom door as soon as I open the door?" she asked me.

"I don't see the reason for you to hide your nakedness now," I answered her.

My shy she-wolf no longer said anything as she continued to stay within my bathroom; refusing to come out. I thought things would change between us when she discovers I was her mate. I thought she would feel comfortable around me. Tonight, I had planned on marking her, but I could not now. Not when she still feared me. I had to do so when the time is right.

My mate was determined to not leaving the bathroom until I gave her my shirt. I smirk as I plotted a plan in allowing her to exit the bathroom. I ran towards my bedroom door. I opened it and shut it; wanting her to think I had left the room and ran over to a corner of my room. Not wanting her to see me as she exits the bathroom. I again smirk as I saw her open the bathroom door, coming out. She hurriedly went towards my bed in putting on my large shirt and dropped the white towel around her, revealing her nakedness. By my bedroom light, I could clearly see her sexy curvaceous body.

I cleared my throat allowing her to know I was still within the room. Her body jumped frighteningly as she saw me standing within the corner of the room.
