CHAPTER 14

I feel like a part of me just clicked back in place. As if in cue, we both shiver at the same time. I inhale the top of head, her hair, my eyes closed. I feel home; Finally.

We look at each other. She pulls back and I feel like I just got wounded. My wolf whines because it just got requited with hers and it cannot take the distance anymore. It feels like rejection.

"What was that?" she whispers at me, looking at me. I cup her face

"The spell; its broken. It must have been what you felt that tipped it and broke it" she looks lost but when I hold her hand she snaps back from her thoughts. I guide her to sit down. I can feel that she is tired. She has gone through a lot in one day I just want to take her somewhere and just take care of her.

"I can feel you. You are worried" she tells me while holding her hand over her heart. "Did you know?"

I know what she is asking me "Yes, but I was not feeling how it was supposed to be. That's why I stayed back." She comes close to me and we cuddle as we sit on the grass.

"I didn't imagine it could be like that, or now. What is going to happen now? With what I know, your father-"

"I will figure that out later don't stress about. We are here now"

"We. You said 'I' and it's supposed to be 'we'. I am not less of what you thought earlier even though we are bonded now"

I smile at her stubbornness. I kiss her on top of her head "We will figure everything out. Together."

I still have to process what my father did. I know I cannot bring this up right now. The universe really did a twist here, didn't it? My father caused the death of her parents and we are mates who were kept away from each other; this stuff only happens in the movies.

It's nighttime. Time moved fast we didn't even notice. "Let me take you home. Or we can go somewhere else if you would prefer not to go home tonight"

"No, I have to go home. I need a shower badly and sleep."

I understand but my wolf does not. She is ours now and he doesn't want to let her out of his sight. But we have to.

***EVELINE***

When Eden drops me off I avoid my parents. I don't want them to see me because they will know. They will smell it. I know that we have bonded and will no longer be apart from each other, my scent is now mixed with his. Even from a distance I can feel him now. It is really a weird but comfortable feeling. I will get used to it. I love the fact I can feel him now. He can feel me too.

Our destiny is really messed up, I can feel it. I need to have this moment to myself before the world comes crashing down on us and we forget how this feels. How amazing it is to finally have a connection with him. It is like the final part of me clicked in place.

I shower and climb in bed. Today has been a long day.

I try to feel him, remembering how my dad told me he does to get my mom's attention when she is ignoring him.

I try tugging the connection, it's like a string that holds me and Eden together so I tug t it. I feel warmth from the other end of it.

'You are awake'

That startles me I fall off the bed

"Eden?" I ask ,looking around the room

'I'm not in the room. You reached out to me so you can talk to me too through thoughts.'

"How do I do that?" I ask still looking at the room. I have to make sure I'm not hallucinating him or he is not in the room

'Trust me I'm not in the room and you are not hallucinating'

"You can read my mind?!" I didn't know that can happen

'Well no.' He laughs 'I am just hearing your thoughts because they are directed at me. You are focused on me.'

"That is so cool."

He is quite for a minute then he speaks again 'How are you feeling?'

I know he is asking me if I am coping well with us because that changes a lot even in our social life

"I feel complete." That seems to satisfy him because I feel an approving growl on the other side

"Did you just growl" I ask laughing. He groans as if he is embarrassed 'The bond comes with other things too. My wolf doesn't seem to understand that some things cannot be done'

"Wait what things?" I ask confused

'Just feel your body, and you might understand what I am trying to say'

"I don't feel- oh! Oh" He laughs but it sounds painful 'you are no helping Eve'

I feel the urge to be with him. That is what he has been struggling with. It is so intense I can't speak for just a second "Wow. I didnt realize it's like this"

'It is. Let's try to not think about it, it might go away' he tells me even though we both know he is lying.

I try to bring another subject on "What's going to happen in school tomorrow? I think no one will know about us, right?" I ask him

'Eve, everyone will know. They better know because I am not trying to get expelled from school if I see another man come near you'

He answers his voice husky with a tinge of his wolf that it makes me tingle all the way to my toes. "I agree." All of a sudden I feel a rush of anger come through me. That is all me. I know this because I just pictured Eden and Victoria together and the very thought makes me want to break some bones.

I hear him laugh on the other end 'That is not going to happen, I promise you. I am completely all yours now.'

I smile at that.
