Filed to story: Love Me Again Mate (Jace & Anna) by Katie Spheres
“Sure” I mumble when she keeps staring at me. I am in trouble.
Great, Jace is driving ” I can’t help but laugh. The look on his face is between dread and shock. Jace hated walking around a mall buying stuff. He orders everything he wants online.
Seriously mum? I have a game In the evening” he scowls and I find it really cute. I fucking loved this idiot. Everything about him is just so attractive.
“You stopped playing Jace” Luna opposes biting on her stake and I glance back at my mate. Basketball was his life. Nothing would have made him stop playing, leave alone alpha duties. Well, looks like his mother was right after all. He wrecked us and himself more.
“Well, I signed up to start this evening” Jace places his fork on the table and gently licks his lips. I always wondered how it would feel like to kiss him. I must applaud the amount of self-control we had back then. I doubt I can hold myself for that long like before though. My wolf won’t let me even if I wanted to.
“It won’t take long, I swear,” she says but we both know it’s a lie. We are going to spend the whole day out.
Jace transformed a lot. From the big veiny arms to the ink adorning his skin. We are completely different people from when we were kids.
The long hair he had when he came home is trimmed on the sides and the middle is slightly ruffled. The look makes him appear hotter. The slight stubble on his face indicates just how mature he has become. I wonder if his reasoning changed too, because it was what ruined us. Luna explained to me that he did that to protect me from some unknown threat. His neck is bare from the previous mark and I’m glad he killed that bitch. I would have done it if he didn’t.
I have been asking myself though, who wanted to hurt me? Was it someone from my biological family, and if yes, what is their reason? Do they still threaten him? I think I need to talk to him about this because a lot can go wrong if I choose to ignore it. I have a lot to lose now.
I quickly turn back to my plate when I find him looking back at me. I didn’t even realize I was staring at him the whole time.
Third-person Pov.
On a magnificent imposing throne, sits a regal figure of power and authority. His form, tall and broad, exudes power and an aura of strength and dominance. His large form is draped in a regal cloak, adorned with intricate patterns that mirror the wildness of the forest.
His eyes a piercing shade of green, hold a glint of wisdom and experience. They hold pride as he stares down at his kingdom.
Thick dark hair cascades down his broad shoulders, framing a strong chiseled face that bares the beauty of the chosen one. His features are a blend of rugged masculinity and refined nobility.
His well-groomed beard compliments the beauty of his face perfectly. His lips are firm and determined, rarely parted unless except to issue commands or speak the words of wisdom.
The crown resting upon his head is crafted with intricate details that mirror the untamed beauty of the wilderness. It symbolizes his rightful place as the ruler of the realm. A testament to his strength and leadership.
His aura commands respect, loyalty, and devotion from his subjects and anyone below him. Not only is he the ruler, but a protector and guardian of his pack.
The man is the Lycan king.
Despite the power and beauty surrounding him, his heart is in great turmoil. For nineteen years a special piece of him has been missing. He has done everything in his power to locate it but all roads ends to a dead end for him.
Your Majesty” His second in command address him, showing his neck in submission. A sign of respect.
The man on the throne silently nods for him in acknowledgment. The beta straightens up and hands over the brown parcel in his hands. As the king tears it open to investigate its contents, a gasp of surprise leaves his lips and he hastily leaves the ethereal seat and exits the throne room.
Jace.
The drive to the mall is mainly silent. Apart from the excited mother who keeps ranting about the stuff she is going to check out.
My mate, on the other hand, is busy on her phone typing away and giggling to herself. It’s causing my heart to squeeze in pain. Who is she chatting with?
Did someone replace me? I’m supposed to be the only one making her laugh like that. Goddess! She doesn’t even look at me twice. Did she completely forget about what we had?
Fuck, Anna.
“Watch out Jace” Mother shouts from the back seat and I immediately step on the brakes. My breathing is hard while my hands are tightly clutching the steering wheel.
Fuck! I lost control.
“Do you want to get us killed? Oh! Goddess, I can’t believe you” She stressfully runs her fingers through her hair giving me a disapproving look.
Instantly, Anņa puts her phone away and worriedly stares at me. I scared her.
“Sorry,” I mumble looking away from the girl. How do I stop feeling this way? It’s so agonizing.
“Pull over,
I can’t die a day before my birthday” Mother adds grabbing her bag and I pull over to the side of the road.
“Let’s go, honey,”. She tells Anna who is still strangely staring at me. What is she thinking?
“I will stay mum” she mumbles with a sigh.
I tiredly press my head on the wheel and close my eyes. I feel so tired. I don’t know what to do with my life anymore.
My wolf is back and I’m sure he won’t stay if she leaves again. Without Ana, my future is empty like my heart feels right now.
“Hey,” a warm hand touches my shoulder, and my body instantly shivers. Her touch is different from when we were not mated. The power of the mate bond is stronger than anything I have ever experienced.
“Stop crying Jace, come here” her voice is low and pleading. I have never felt this vulnerable in my whole life. I never thought one day I will be in this position.
She doesn’t wait for me to respond. Ana takes my head and holds it to her chest. Both of her arms cage me in her warm embrace, and I snuggle more into her. This is a place where I always found comfort from.
She always hated it when I was sad. Anna used to say she felt hurt when I’m hurting and I wonder if she still feels the same.
Her heart is beating so fast just like mine. Her scent is everything I need to be okay. Anna brings me back to life.
She doesn’t talk again, she holds me tightly like she always did when we were growing up.
“I’m sorry” I croak out holding her tightly by her tender waist. I wish there was no barrier between our seats. “I ruined us” I sniffle, lifting my head to look at her but she doesn’t let me.
“Shh, relax” she whispers in my ear and touches her soft lips on my temple ” I hate to see you like this, you need to take care of yourself, Jace”
“I don’t know how to,” I say with a defeated sigh and she doesn’t talk again.
Ana always put me first before anything. How could I hurt her of all the people? She knows every detail about me, from the smallest to the bigger aspect. Ana knows me so well than my parents do. She was the closest friend I had.
Right now, she is just trying to make me feel better. I know we have a lot to talk about and I pray she gives me a second chance to make things right.
“You will be fine” she whispers running her hands in my hair, and I sigh forcing myself to calm down.
Lifting my head, I glance into the green eyes that are tenderly staring at me with utmost care and concern. She is beautiful.
“Can I hold your hand?” Ana immediately laces our fingers and I sigh in contentment. She didn’t deserve what I did.
