Chapter 14


    KADEN’S PO.V


    After my mate ran away from me, the first thing I did was go back to my house. For some reason,


    my wolf was acting like a b*tch in heat during puberty and was day dreaming of all the ways we


    could take our mate.

    I couldn’t get the image of her soft and luscious curves out of my head and as soon as I got into my


    house, I stripped off my clothes and went in to take a cold shower. It helped a little and I was able to


    get the boner down and get a grip on my emotions long enough to think about something other than


    f**king my mate.


    By the time I got out of the shower, I decided to look for something decent to wear. My wolf whined


    about wanting to make a decent first impression on her since we scared her off the first time and I


    ended up choosing a tailored ck suit with a navy blue tie. I knew it was over the top but my wolf


    was overjoyed by my choice and I could feel his glee and desire.

    “You need to calm down,” I warned him, “I don’t care if you’re in heat but you cannot be acting like a


    horny high school boy who is ing a girl for the first time.”


    “She isn’t any girl,” he tried to defend; “She is our mate.”


    “I don’t care,” I retorted, “Thest thing we need is to be walking around with a boner when we are


    trying to talk to her. She will think I am a pervert so I need you to calm down.”

    I could tell he wasn’t happy with me but he knew I right and he reluctantly retreated into a far corner


    of my mind. I was thankful for the silence and I started to gather my things to leave when I heard the


    front door open.


    Whoever it was didn’t even bother to be silent judging by the fact that I could hear it from my room


    which was upstairs and I instantly knew who it was. Only one person would bother to walk into my


    house at this time without consulting me beforehand and it is the one person I have been trying to


    avoid.


    The door to my room opened and my mother walked in with a frown on her face. Her hair was tied


    in a perfect chignon at the base of her n*eck and she was in a form fitted her n*eck was adorned


    with pearls. In her hand she held a ck clutch and she looked me


    over once.

    “Where were you?” she asked, “Gianna was waiting for you and you never showed up. Why

    didn’t you go for the date?”

    “I had an important diplomatic meeting,” she raised a brow and I knew I would have to lie better


    than that, “There were some rogues that lingered at the pack borders. There have also been some


    issues about somend disputes. I couldn’t get out of the meeting.”


    She hummed and I knew she was about toin or probably even set another date for me with


    Gianna as a chance to redeem myself but I wasn’t interested in it. I checked the watch on my wrist


    and cursed under my breath.


    “I have to be somewhere right now mother,” she opened her mouth toin but I cut her off, “I


    will see you when I can. Please lock up the house when


    the house when you leave.”

    I left her standing in the middle of my room and I knew that she would be upset about it but I


    couldn’t bring myself to care. I got into my car and drove off to the pack house when I got mind


    linked by Caleb and he told me that my mate had been found and was on her way to the pack


    office.


    I wanted to get there before her so I broke every speed limit known and I arrived at the pack office


    ten minutes earlier than I should have. I made my way to my study and did ast check up to make


    sure I looked presentable. I made sure my tie wasn’t crooked and popped in a mint to give off a


    good impression then I waited.


    It only took a few minutes but I heard a knock on the door and ra appeared with my mate in her


    hand. ra was barefooted and I could see her muddy footprints filling the hallway and I knew it


    would be torture for whoever was tasked with cleaning it up but my attention wasn’t on her, it was


    on the girl next to her.


    In my study, I could see her clearly. She was at least a whole foot shorter than me and she curly


    brown hair the color of melted choctes and warm hazel eyes that shine a different color


    depending on the angle of the light hitting her face. She had a map of freckles all over her cheek


    and she had curves in all the right ces. She was soft and demure, especially in the way her eyes


    took in the entire office carefully.


    I saw ra cock her head to the side like a lost puppy as she looked over my outfit. I could almost


    see the wheels turning in her head and the questions in her eyes as she stared at my suit. I am


    almost never dressed up like this. If anything, this might be the second or third time she is ever


    seeing me in a suit and I knew she wanted to ask why but she settled for bowing instead.


    She turned on her heels to leave but I saw my mate tighten her hold on ra’s hand. It was such a


    subtle movement that I would not have noticed it if not for the fact that I was steadily analyzing and


    staring at my mate.

    I frowned at her little action and wondered whether she didn’t want to be alone with me. I haven’t


    done anything to scare her and I dressed up so I would look a little more approachable. I have also


    been clenching my fists to stop myself from acting out since the moment her scent filled my nostrils


    and the entire study.


    My wolf who had been quiet in my head began to whine and pace. He was agitated at not being


    able to touch his mate and her obvious refusal and not wanting to be in the same room with us had


    begun to set him on edge.


    “This is your fault,” he used me, “You must have scared her in the forest and now she wants


    nothing to do with us.”


    “I haven’t done anything,” I shot back, “Maybe she is just apprehensive because she doesn’t know


    us.”


    “You scared her. I’ve told you so many times to try being more approachable but you don’t listen.


    Our own mate is terrified of us.”


    I knew he was going to do nothing but rant and me me the entire time so I shut him out behind


    the wall. I knew he was going to be displeased about it when I restored our connection but I figured


    I would deal with thatter.


    I exhaled deeply and tried to calm my raging urges as I pushed off the wall that I was leaning on.


    ra slowly detached her hand from my mate’s and exited the room. The door clicked shut behind


    her and the sound was so final. I was alone with my mate and there was no one or nothing between


    us.


    I wanted nothing more than to close the distance between us and pull her into my arms. I wanted to


    hold her and feel her warm curves as she presses into my b*dy. I wanted to im her and make her


    mine and make her feel me for days whenever she thinks about me but when I took a step close to


    her, she cast her eyes on the ground. She barely reached my shoulder and I found her small size


    cute. I know she’s not small- she’s average, I am just


    very tall.


    I knew she was terrified of me and I knew I couldn’t do any of the things I wanted to. I dug my nails


    into my palms to try and calm my urges as I closed the space between us and stood right in front of


    her. She didn’t look up, she didn’t even nce at me.


    I took in her entire b*dynguage from the way she stood, to the way she avoided my eyes and I


    realized that nothing about her felt like she was even acknowledging me as her mate. Even if she


    was scared of me, she should still feel the bond or some sort of attraction but she acted as if she


    wanted to be anywhere but here and with anyone but me.
