Chapter 13
Waking up in the morning, I found myself in an unfamiliar ce and my head was pounding as 1 sat up.
“Oh, fuck!” I groaned<b>, </b>rubbing my temples. Why did I even think of drinking like that?
Looking around, I realised I was not on the floor but bed.
Bringing my hand to my chest, I stroked it as I tried to get up<b>. </b>I was <b>in </b>a T–shirt and pants.
How the fuck did I get here<b>!</b>
Walking out the door, I realised I was in a different ce than the cabin I stayed in. “Hey,” Mateo said, a smile curving up on his lips.
“Made you some coffee,” He said, handing me a cup of coffee, and <b>smiling </b>at myself. I <b>took </b>it.
“I hope you didn’t go through so much trouble because of me,” I <b>said</b>, walking to the counter while sipping from my coffee.
“No. I wanted to check on you.” he said as I nodded my head. I couldn’t remember what happenedst night, but I’m sure he’s the one who brought me here.
“What am I doing here? Is this someone’s house?” I <b>asked </b>him as he shook has head, walking over to where I was standing.
“It’s a cottage just a few blocks away from the pack house. It’s yours now,”
1 nonchntly nodded my head as I looked into <b>his </b>eyes.

“Listen, I know that I haven’t been exactly <b>what </b>you would expect from a mate, but I want you to understand that I will bringing his hand to <b>mine</b><b>.</b>
If he wants to make it work. Ask him to reject <b>that </b>woman‘ Skye suggested, but I closed <b>my </b>eyes, blocking my link with both of my wolves.
I had a terrible headache and honestly, I couldn’t deal with these two right now. Their arguing was unbearable.
“It’s fine. It must not be easy for you,” I smiled sheepishly<b>.</b>
He inhales sharply as the room is filled with an awkward silence while I sip on the coffee he made for me.
**I should probably get going. Umm..I have..” He stuttered, his gaze <b>moving </b>away from me.
“Sure. I know you have things to do,” I said to him as he nodded his head before cing a card on the table with his name on it.
“You can use the card whenever you need it. The pin is-
“Don’t need your money. I cut him short as he furrowed his eyebrows.
“<b>I </b>wasn’t.”
“Mateo, you have a wife. And a pack that loves you. Why would you want me to <b>stay </b>here?” <b>I </b>asked him as he tilted his head, looking at me.
“It’s difficult knowing that I have a mate who is married and, to make it worse,
the other one won’t reject me.”
“Let’s talk about itter,” He <b>said</b>, grabbing the phone for the table as I stood up, walked to the <b>door </b>and blocked his way
“Benn here for a week and every time <b>you </b>say that. Please, I need to know what you n on doing” I pleaded with him as he sighed heavily, looking into my eyes.
“Just give me <b>some </b>time. I promise to sort this out,” <b>He </b>assured me as I scoffed.
“No one wants me in this pack. That’s clear enough. Why can’t you just reject me?” I <b>asked</b>, walking towards him as he looked away from me.

“Kate needs you to help her with something in the pack house” He stepped aside, opening the door as he walked out of the room.
“Mateo!” I shouted, running after him I <b>stopped </b>on the <b>patio </b>as he got in the car. My eyes met with Micah’s who <b>was </b>walking towards the pack

“Fuck!” I growled as my head pounded hard.
“What am I <b>going </b>to do?” <b>I </b>asked myself, letting out <b>a </b>sigh as I looked at the grey interior, the smell of fresh paint hitting my nostrils as I sighed heavily.

“How the hell did you know?” I asked him as he handed me the bottle.
“Hard not to hear you when you were shouting and screamingst night when I live just next door,” He beamed, exposing his perfect white teeth <b>as </b>I gave
him a nod.
“Thank <b>you</b>,” I said, taking the bottle as he stood there looking inside the house.
“<b>Don’t </b>bete. Kate hates being kept waiting” he turned on his heel, hands in his pockets

“I didn’t even get your name,” I started while following her behind. She seems like someone genuine<b>, </b>unlike those fake smiles I have been seeing on people’s faces.
“Rita ck,” she said as I nodded my head, thinking of thest name she just told me. I once went to school with a ck, but their pack was raided a few years back and everyone died.
“We are here,” she announced.
She knocks on the door once as we wait for a response.
“Yes!” A soft–spoken voice came from behind the door as Rita opened the door, gesturing for me to go in first.
<b>I </b>sighed heavily, walking into the room as I looked at her busily writing down something. On the left was her desk made of oak wood with a steel frame, while on the other side was another desk.

“Am sorry I haven’t been able toe speak with you and receive you into the pack,” she apologised, going to sit on the couch. She gestured for me to sit adjacent to her.
