One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 34

PART 1 Chapter 34 — 04

I searched for Lisa and John but they were already gone.

AllI had was cash and no change so I couldn't take the bus.

I probably missed it too.

This wasn't my day.

Regretfully,I began my hour long walk back home.

About twenty minutes into the walk,my legs began to ache.

The sky darkened and I knew what was gonna happen before it even did.

I had watched too many movies and read too many books to not be able to tell what was gonna

happen next.

It's going to rain and maybe if fate really hasn't had enough with me,it will also begin to thunder.

I cried out loud when the first raindrop touched my face and before I knew it,it was pouring thousands.

The sky began to thunder loudly,roaring out like an animal and making Mme jump.

My hair and clothes were soaked in under a minute.

A shiny black car pulled up beside me and my heart dropped.

Is this the part where the girl gets kidnapped by sparkly vampires or something? But the person inside

was no vampire.

He was a werewolf.

He smiled at me,as if to show off his pearly whites and said,” Need a ride?"

I sighed and wondered if I had any other choice.

I ignored the majority of me that did want to go into Blade's car and pretended like I didn't want to.

“Do I have another choice?” He laughed,” Not really.” I got into the car and tried not to swoon over how

attractive it was and how much it reminded me of his fur color in wolf—form.

“Uhh thanks,” I said,breaking the awkward silence.

“No problem.

What were you doing walking in the rain alone? That seemed really movie—ish.” "My brother was

supposed to pick me up but he forgot,” I said,laughing at his comment.

"Oh,was that the guy you were with this morning?” “Yeah,” I muttered hesitatingly.

“I never really got to properly thank you for what you did at the pack meeting.

You know,since you fainted and all.” "Yeah,"

I blushed,” Sorry about that.” “I like itt when you blush, he seemed to have blurted without realizing it.

He quickly muttered,” ersorry I meant,t's,I mean—* I laughed” Thanks.” He looked at me for a moment

before laughing as well,” Sorry,! thought I had thought it,not said it out loud.” “It's fine.” "Thanks

again,for saving my pack.

I really don't know what we would have done without you.” "Well you did save my life and take me to

the hospital when I fainted so thanks for that.” “Anytime,I'm used to catching damsels in distress.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Clearly,” I giggled.

Did I just giggle? Was I flirting? I couldn't help it.

I don't realize my words until they leave my lips.

“You don't believe me?” "No,no,I do because you totally look like you spend twenty—four seven

chasing damsels that are in need of rescuing.” “Of course.

What did you think these babies were for?"

he flexed both arms while steering the wheel with his knee.

“Hands on the wheel!"

I screamed laughing as the car served accidentally to the right.

“Sorry sir!"

Blade shouted to the old man that was swearing behind us.

"Oops, he muttered and took a turn.

“You're crazy.” “Hey,that old man shouldn't have reacted so angrily.

The blame goes on him.” “How many tickets do you get in a month?” “Zero actually because luckily the

police officers are always damsels in need of a bit of this,’ he quickly flexed one arm before placing it

back on the wheel.

laughed out loud and clutched my stomach realizing how foreign the sound was.

I hadn't laughed like this in so long.

It felt so easy to talk to him.

Like a big weight has been blown off my chest.

“Take that turn there,my house is the fourth one to the left, I said as we neared my street.

I tried to mask my disappointment when he parked the car.

“Thank you for driving me here, really hope you weren't busy.” “Nah,my damsels can wait."

I laughed” Good.” "See ya tomorrow?’ I muttered.

“Yeah,see ya.” l exited the car and quickly headed to my doortrying to avoid the rain.

He stayed and watched as I unlocked the door.

My hands felt empty and then I realized I forgot my bag.

"Waitt"

I shouted as his car began to move.

He stopped rapidly causing the car to make a loud screech.

Iran up the window and opened the door,’ I forgot my bag.” He laughed,” It's in the back seat.” I got on

my knees on the passenger seat and reached back to get the bag.

I heard him take an intake of breath and I realized how close I was to him.

I pulled back,my bag in my hands and I found myself trapped by his intoxicating scent.

Our eyes met and like it always happened,we remained frozen just staring.

I knew that I made up my mind just then.

Before I lost my brain, forced it to tell me what I wanted most from Blade.

Akiss.

leaned in as he did the same.

His nose touched mines and we remained teasing each other,our eyes glued together,testing out our

resistance.

I dropped my bag without taking my eyes off of him.

My movements were robotic.

Like I wasn't controlling my body at all.

I stopped breathing and all I could see,smell,and sense was Blade.

His nose touched mines once more and he rested his forehead against mines,breathing softly.

He smirked when I gained an impatient look.

l rolled my eyes,” Just kiss me.”
