“Why do you do that?” He growled.
“Do what?” l asked, confused.
“Test my god damn patience every chance you get!” he yelled.
“And why can’t you trust me?” l yelled. He turned back around, slamming my door when he left.
I walked over to my bed, cursing and huffing. I flopped down on my bed, trying to calm myself down.
That man was so infuriating. Why can’t he see l was worried about his friend? If Madison had gone after Liam, I never would have been able to forgive myself.
I must have fallen asleep. I awoke to Liam sitting on my bed, watching me.
“What Liam?” I grumbled, closing my eyes again.
“You need to go to Mason.” He said, and I opened my eyes to look at him.
“Why?”
“You’re his mate and he needs you.” He told me.
“He doesn’t trust me, Liam.” I sighed.
“I think he was just worried about the attention you were giving me. He was scared, we all were, and he’s even more scared now. You need to go see him.” He said, and I grumbled.
“Liam, how can you just forgive him? He doubted you during this whole situation?” I asked him.
“To be fair, if it were my mate, I would have doubted him, too.” He chuckled.
“How can that not bother you?” l asked, confused.
“My relationship with Mason is between us. I would hold nothing against him when it comes to his mate, aka you.” He said, and I grumbled, knowing I was going to have to go see Mason.
“Ashlyn, you are the first girl Mason has ever been interested in, and then with all the crap that has been happening between you two. And you have a second mate, which you’ve laimed. Mason is feeling insecure, even though he’ll never admit it. He needs you.” He said, nudging my arm.
“Fine, I’ll go see him.” I finally agreed.
“Good, he’s in his room.” He told me before he left my room.
Dragging myself off my bed, I headed out into the hallway. I turned the knob for our room and found it to be unlocked. I opened it to find Mason lying on his stomach on the bed.
“Derek, I don’t want to talk.” He growled out. I closed the door behind me and walked over to the bed. Climbing in beside him, lying on my side, I rubbed his back.
Mason turned his head to face me and snuggled into my neck, breathing me in. My anger faded, leaving only the worry I felt for my mate. He threw an arm over my waist, pulling me closer to him.
“I love you, Mason.” I whispered to him. He pulled away to look at me.
“Do you? Tell me Ashlyn, would you even be here with me, if I hadn’t already marked you?” He asked. And it broke my heart for him to even think that. l couldn’t help the tears pooling in my eyes.
“I loved you even before you marked me.” I whispered, holding back my tears.
“Ashlyn, if it came down to me or Derek, you’d pick Derek. You don’t need to fucken lie to me.”
“Why would you ever think that?” I gasped.
“Because it’s true!” He growled. He rolled on to his back, trying to get up off the bed, but l jumped on top of his stomach.
“Mason, I’m sorry. I know you think that me being worried about Liam meant I wasn’t worried about you, but you’re wrong. I didn’t know what Madison was capable of, and Liam wouldn’t have had his guard up around her. I never would have been able to forgive myself if I let anything happen to one of your best friends.” I told him, resting my forehead against his, my tears falling on to his cheeks.
“it’s not fair that you think just because I claimed, Derek, that I would love you any less. That I could ever choose Derek over you. I could never choose between the two of you. I love you both more than anything in this entire world.” He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight.
“I’m sorry, baby. When I saw the cut in your stomach, I thought you were going to die.” I could hear the emotions in his voice.
“I will never leave you.” I promised him, moving my head, so I was snuggling into his neck, resting my head on his shoulder. He leaned down, k!ssing my forehead.
“How are you feeling?” He asked me.
“Better.” I told him, snuggling in closer to him. I missed his scent, and it was only an afternoon.
“How are you?” I whispered into his chest.
“Better.” He breathed out.
“Good. We should go out into the living room sol can explain what happened this morning.” I told him.
“There’s more?” He questioned.
“Yeah,” I spoke to my mother again.
Ashlyn
Mason and I walked out to find everyone sitting in the living room eating dinner. It smelt amazing, and I was drooling already.
“There’s food in the kitchen,” Brandon told us, and I basically ran into the kitchen to grab some.
“Hungry?” Mason asked.
“Starving.” I drew out.
I stacked my plate high with mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli, and steak. Then I headed into the living room with my plate. I sat on the floor using the coffee table as my table, so I was facing everyone.
“Hungry?” Derek chuckled.
“You have no idea,” I said, with a mouthful of mashed potatoes.
“How are you feeling, sweetie?” Sage asked me. I had a mouth full of food, so l gave her a thumbs up.
“Where the hell do you put all that?” Matt asked. I swallowed before l answer him.
“My boobs, obviously.” I told him, grabbing water off the coffee table. They were all laughing while I stuffed my face.
“Baby girl, you should slow down. Matt made cupcakes.” Derek told me. And that caught my attention.
“You clearly underestimated my love for cupcakes and the fact that I’m wearing stretchy pants.” I told him after I took another sip of my water.
“How?” Derek asked.
“I think it’s Tundra. Or maybe the blood loss from today, but mostly it’s Tundra.” I shrugged.
“And how is the cut?” He asked.
“It’s healed, Derek. I’m fine, nothing food and sleep won’t fix.” I told him.
Before I finished eating, I started telling them what had happened. I knew when l finished eating, I was going to fall into a food coma.
“I guess I’ll start.” I told them, looking around the living room.
“When I was coming out of a bathroom stal, I walked into a knife that Madison was holding. She jerked it until it hit my sternum. Before she ripped the knife out, she told me that Liam was hers, then she left.”
“How were you able to mindlink Liam?” Brandon asked. He was sitting beside Sage and they were so cute together.
“I don’t know. I just reached out for him and then I could.” I shrugged.
“And what happened next?” Mason asked.
