Mates 125


    Chapter 125


    KAIDEN STIRLING


    She was a mess, just like me. I did not know if I liked or hated that. I hated it. It was painful for me to


    watch my mate fall apart like this, but there was a sort of twistedfort I got in the fact that we


    were both going through this.


    I pulled up in the driveway of the small house and stared out the windshield for a solid five minutes.


    What was I doing? Why hadn’t I taken her back home to Lyra? Why was I here? At the house, I had


    built in a spot I knew used to be her favorite.


    It gave a lovely view of the sunset. But I was sure she would not wait to see that by the time she


    woke up sober tomorrow. I knew I was going too far by bringing her here without her knowing, but it


    was not my fault; I needed some alone time with her.


    I looked over at her. She was snoring softly in her seat. I had tried to apologize to her once again. I


    had tried to tell her how sorry I was, I had tried to tell her I was miserable without her. I had tried to


    tell her that I was in love with her.


    She didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t me her. I had lied to her way too much and if I told another lie,


    she was scared that she would believe it. I took a deep breath and climbed out of the car. The cold


    night air hit me hard in the face and I realized just how chilly it was. Shit, I needed to prepare the


    house because I did not take her into the house while it was freezing.

    I headed towards the door and unlocked it with my fingerprint. It was a little cheesy or over the top,


    but she had once told me years ago when she was lying in my arms, that she would like a house


    with artificial intelligence. So I added that to the house.


    The door unlocked and I pushed it open. Once I walked in, I inhaled the crisp scent of the air.


    “Carina, activate,” I said out loud and a low beeping sound came from around the house.


    “Hello Kaiden,” the built-in Al assistant responded. It recognized my voice. “Turn on the bedroom


    lights and warm up the house,” I said. “Of course, Kaiden,” she responded and I walked back out to


    the car. The pale moonlight shone on her face and I could not help but admire how beautiful she


    was despite the despair on her face.


    She was gorgeous. My gorgeous mate. All mine. I walked to the car and pulled open the door to her


    seat. She groaned as I unbuckled the seatbelt and lifted her out of the seat. She was small. It had


    been so long since I touched her this way, so long since I had held her this close, that I forgot how


    small she was.


    She wrapped her hands around my neck, surprising me. I shut the door with one hand and locked it


    with the remote. She wrapped her legs around my waist next and I held back the primal urge and


    need to kiss her and im her once again so I could cancel the rejection from six years ago.


    I supported her weight by holding the underside of her thighs. She was unconscious but I was not


    going to disrespect her. I walked into the house and kicked the door shut behind me. A beep


    informed me that it had been locked, and I was thankful for the fact that the house was now at a


    good temperature. A


    comfortable one.

    I headed straight for the room I had said would be for the two of us. When the house was still in


    construction, I had been convinced that she woulde back and she would forgive me, she would


    give me a second chance. After the house was done, I lost hope.


    It was a great thing I hadn’t lost hope while it was still in construction because there would have


    been no ce for me to take her. Iid her down on the sheets. They were not dusty like I wouldN?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    have expected. Everything was clean.


    The agent I had appointed to keep this ce clean had probably kept on working despite me giving


    up.


    She groaned and rolled over. I smiled, staring at her. She was. gorgeous in this dress. Her hair was


    spilled over the white pillow and it was like a halo, a golden halo.


    Goddess, I was in love with her. I was madly in love with her and it was driving me nuts. I attempted


    to back away from the bed before I did something I would regret and Freda would hate me for. As I


    turned around, a hand grabbed mine and my heart stopped. I turned to look at Freda.


    She was looking at me with an expression I could not read. “Stay with me,” she whispered.
