Filed to story: Love Me Again Mate (Jace & Anna) by Katie Spheres
(Jace)
I hate this. I don’t know what I am feeling but my heart is in great despair. Not for the death of that woman but what I am feeling for her. I have never felt this confused before.
I am not stupid and I know Lily did something else when she drugged me. But the question is, what did she do and how do I stop myself from feeling this way? My wolf is not responsive, and I don’t know what happened to him. I see my mate and every time I look at her, I feel pain deep down my ch*st. I am hurting her and I can’t stand it. I need to make everything right before it’s too late.
I never thought it would happen again. At least the first time I had a choice. But today it’s entirely something else. I can’t control it no matter how I try to fight it.
“I need to talk to you” My dad walks into the kitchen where I have been sitting since Ana found me in Andrew’s room. I had gone there to ask him for help. Some part of me is grateful that Lily is dead. I don’t know what would have happened if she was here.
I don’t know if I would have been able to control myself at all, and If that happened, I am afraid I would have lost my mate and son for good.
I blankly look at him when my dad pulls the stool and sits beside me.
“I don’t know what you are going through, son. But I know if you keep this attitude around Ana and Liam, you’re going to lose them, Jace” His harsh words draw an uncomfortable feeling in my heart, and at the same time, they make me angry.
It’s easier for everyone to judge me than try to understand me,
“Do you think I want this?” I angrily yell, glaring at the man who has raised me all my life” Goddess! I hate feeling this way, and if you are here to tell me what I already know, then you are not helping” My voice quivers at the last statement, and I place my head on my palms.
It’s overwhelming.
“I know son, but you ought to try. Ana and your kid are devastated. Your mate understands, but Liam doesn’t. I don’t know what you will do but the baby needs his dad, You gotta step up Jace”
f**k! My head hurts when I remember how I ignored them when I woke up. Lily was the only thing in my eyes and the world around me was completely blurred. They will never forgive me.
Where do I start then, when I saw Ana earlier she was hesitant to talk to me. I wish I was able to feel the mate bond to know what she was thinking. The biggest problem is my son, I hate that I disappointed him again. Goddess! I am a shitty father.
“I will, It’s just….” I sigh running my fi**gers through my hair. “I don’t know what to do with myself, Dad” I sadly mutter, opening up for someone for the first time.
“We are yet to get help. Andrew knows something, Jace. Promise me you will try for your son for the time being” Dad sq***zes my shoulder and I nod with a sigh.
“Good” The man whispers and slowly exits the room, leaving me to my dep**ssing thoughts.
“Mommy” The boy’s cries reach my ears and I wonder if he is alone. Of course, he is alone. I left Ana with Andrew. Should I go to him? Goddess! Why am I so stupid? He is only two, so he needs his parents.
I hesitantly get up and take the stairs to our bedroom. Opening the door, the boy is already out of bed and sitting beside the door crying. Goddess! How can I be so Ignorant? He is just a baby and all I do is abandon him. Liam doesn’t know about being drugged or some lame shit. He just knows his parents are supposed to be here with him.
“Hey, baby” I lowly whisper, squatting beside him and he quickly lifts his tear- stained face to look at me. His eyes are w*t from tears and they still look sleepy.
“Daddy?” Liam mumbles. He peeks behind me and looks away in disappointment when he doesn’t see the one he was expecting. “I want my mommy” He whispers covering his face with his fi**gers.
“I will take you to her, baby. Come on” I stretch my hands to him and he quickly lifts his. “I am sorry” I whisper p**ssing a gentle k*ss on his head. Liam doesn’t react or say anything else. He buries his face into my neck and deeply sighs.
I know it won’t take him long to go back to sleep. So, I run my fi**gers in his hair and he sighs in content wr*pping his arms around me. When his breaths even, I lay him down and cover him.
I need to find Ana. I don’t know what I will tell her but I just need to say something. So, I start walking to Andrew’s room. She must still be there.
My hand hovers on the doorknob when I hear people talking from inside.“I know” A familiar muffled voice whispers and it peeks my interest. Out of curiosity, I gently push the door open and my jaw instantly clenches at the sight before me.
“I am sorry, Is there anything I can do?” Leo whispers, gently running his hands on Ana’s back. Her b*dy is violently trembling and her low hiccups let me know she is crying. How did they end up like this? I thought she hated him.
I assumed I knew pain until I am looking at the view in front of me. The confusion in my head instantly disappears when Ana wr*ps her arms around my brother’s waist, and all I feel is pure anger.
“Let her go, Leornardo” I snap taking quick steps to them. Leo does something that causes me more pain. He quickly pushes my mate behind him, shielding her from me. My heart breaks when the thought of Ana being scared of me runs through my mind.
“Why would I do that? For you to hurt her more? That is all you do, Jace. From the first time I met Ana, she keeps crying for you. Looks like you can’t handle your shit when it comes to your mate, but guess what?” Leo takes a menacing step toward me but I hold my ground.
“Someone out there will give her what you can’t. She will never cry for an incompetent mate again, and I promise you, Ana will be happy” He whispers the last words, standing directly in front of me and I tightly clench my fists.
(Ana)
After staying in Andrew’s office for over an hour without any positive results, I could not help but break down. It’s painful. The thought of probably losing someone I love for good creates a deep ache in my ch*st.
Andrew left. He couldn’t find anyone with the witch’s contact so he decided to go by himself despite the injuries. I think like Leo, he deserves a second chance to come back in the pack.
So, after he left, I slumped back on his bed and started wailing. I couldn’t go back to our room and sleep in the enormous bed alone. His scent will be there and my wolf won’t allow me to rest easy when our mate is somewhere in the pack.
My primal side lacks understanding. There is no way to convince my wolf why I am not close to him. She will easily take control and do it herself.
A presence appears at the door and for the first time, I don’t have the strength to push him away. Leo pulls me up and silently wr*ps his arms around me. He is not as warm as my mate but I need comfort right now. I just want someone to tell me that it’s going to be okay even though it’s a total lie. Something to take my mind away from the turmoil going on in me right now.
I never imagined Jace would walk right through when I am still in Leo’s arms and his reaction is something I could have never expected. Is he seriously jealous or he is acting on impulse?
“You don’t know shit, Leo. Ana is my mate and this is just a phase that will eventually pass” My mate snaps glaring at Leo. The tension bet**en these two is heavy. Leo and Jace have always been on opposing sides and it will only take something irrelevant to switch on the fire bet**en them.
