Filed to story: Love Me Again Mate (Jace & Anna) by Katie Spheres
“Thank you” I place a gentle kiss on her forehead and she slightly smiles at me. I love her.
“Is your head working now,?” Mum asks staring at our laced fingers. The hidden smile on her face doesn’t go unnoticed by me. She was the most affected by what happened and I pray one day she will forgive me for that too.
“Just get in Mother” I mumble with a tired tone but smile anyway. I have a long way to go to bring back the joy our family once had.
They say you will never understand the importance of something until it’s gone. Looks like Ana was a big part of our family than we thought. The house became lifeless when she walked away.
“Great” Mother cheerfully says getting back in her seat.
“Found something you like? ” I ask starting a conversation. Anna has been awfully quiet since earlier and I wonder what she is thinking. I know that this is the last place she wanted to be, and I can’t blame her because I feel the same way.
All we have been doing is making sure we are not next to Mum, and so far we are doing okay. Maybe she hasn’t noticed that we are not following her around yet. I pity the saleswoman and the guards carrying her bags. “I don’t need anything” she sighs tucking her hair behind her ears.
Do you want to sit somewhere or maybe leave this place?” I nervously whisper scratching the back of my neck. I want her alone so I can try again. The way she held me earlier, gives me hope that maybe she will listen if I come clean with her.
Ana’s brows furrow in thought, like she always did when thinking about something. Before she could answer though, my over-excited mother finds us again and I internally groan. Way to ruin my chance.
“Come on guys, you are completely no fun. Try these on honey” Mother dumps a couple of clothes in Ana’s arms, and it’s my turn to chuckle at the horror on her face. At least this is one thing that never changed about her.
We always did shop online and I still do.
“Okay mum” she drawls turning around.
Come on Son, I am finding something for you too” She grabs my hand before I could even object, and I’m compelled to follow her. I wonder when she will realize we are no longer kids. It’s embarrassing when she holds my hand like this in public, but I can’t tell her to let it go. I missed her, and I will do anything to have our relationship back.
So I ignore the eyes around us and focus on the woman pulling me to the male’s clothing shop.
(Gianna)
I knew it was going to be a long day and unfortunately, this is just the beginning. I was contemplating Jace’s offer, and I’m sure as hell I was going to say yes. I will do anything to leave this place.
I locate the female fitting rooms but before I could take a turn towards the area, I bump into someone or vice versa. The hurdle of clothing in my hands drops on the floor due to the great impact of our collision. The person must be hella strong. What happened to people watching their steps?
Begrudgingly, I lift my head ready to lash at this person but a gasp leaves. my lips instead when I look into his eyes. The piercing, beautiful green eyes I have ever seen. Well, maybe they look just like mine. The man has the same expression as me, and I’m sure he wonders why we have the same set of eyes.
He is tall and broad. His muscular frame emits strength and dominance. Now looking at him, I’m lucky the clothes dropped instead of me. The man is powerful, I can vividly sense it and it’s making my wolf stir within me. He is not human.
His handsome face is adorned by a slight beard and thinly parted lips.
I would have said he is an alpha wolf but his power exceeds just alpha.
He is in an expensive grey neat suit that marches his power and wealth. Now I feel inferior.
“I am sorry, I was in a hurry and I didn’t see you” I mumble bringing my eyes back to his now softened ones. Goddess, they are amazing.
“No dear, I am the one who is supposed to apologize. Sorry, for your clothes” his response surprises me, and I find myself releasing the breath I didn’t know I was holding all the while. There is something about this man that I can’t put a finger on it.
“I will help you pick them up,” he says bending down but I quickly hold his arm, and he instantly glances at my hand on his. I quickly take my hand away, scared I might be getting him uncomfortable. He appears familiar to me though. Have I met him somewhere before? His musky and powerful scent is so calming. Unlike my mates, his is like a gentle promise of care and protection.”
“No no, please I will do it”. The man immediately smiles and it’s so fucking beautiful. His set of teeth are pearly white and I don’t think he uses them. Two little dimples appear on either side of his cheek, and I find myself smiling back. I can’t help it, it’s contagious.
Wow! You are so beautiful” I exclaim a little bit louder and quickly cover my mouth with my palms. The man laughs some more and finally stretches his hand forward for a handshake.
”So are you princess. I am Noah, and I am delighted to meet you” I quickly shake his large hand, and the familiarity from earlier appears again.
“Gianna, it’s nice meeting you too” An emotion that I don’t decipher passes his eyes at the mention of my name, and I wonder what it means.
Again sorry for your clothes” he points to the forgotten heap on the floor and I dismissively wave at them.
“They are not important, I wasn’t going to try them anyway” I chuckle sidestepping the clothes, and his brows furrow in confusion. He is so cute. Alpha will be so jealous when I tell him I met a man who is more attractive than he is, and probably more powerful.
The clothes though, I was gonna tell Mother that none of them are fitting. I have a lot and I think it’s a waste of resources to get more things you don’t require. I understand responsibility now, and my priorities are completely different.
My wolf is behaving funny. She wants to come out, and I don’t know why. Right now, we are in the human world and I can’t mess up. I wonder if it’s because we haven’t shifted in two years or if she wants her mate. I should find Jace.
“Are you okay, your hands” I quickly glance at my hands when he points at them, and it’s the same thing that happened two years ago. The painful dark veins. Before I could say anything, a searing pain goes throughout my body and the veins becomes more prominent. They are everywhere.
Shit, it’s happening” the man mumbles lifting me from the ground and I’m too weak to ask questions or fight him.
What does he mean it’s happening? Does he know me?
Who is he?
A na.
I’m still perplexed by what happened yesterday. Who was that man and where did he come from?
Immediately he touched me, the veins and the pain disappeared and it was like it never happened. We didn’t get time to talk either because my mate came looking for me, and he left with a promise of finding me. As much as I know, he had no bad intentions. More so, I felt calm and safe with him which is strange. I can’t also ignore the vivid resemblance between us. It was clear as day and I can’t help but assume that we are related in some way.
It was hard for us to say goodbyes too. The hesitation in his eyes, when Jace was taking me away, was apparent. I dint want to go either. I wished we would spend some more time together, even though we were just strangers. There was something about him that made me feel instantly attached.
“Can we talk?” Jace strolls into my room, breaking through my thoughts and I sigh sitting up.
I wonder what I should do with him. He looks so broken and depressed and I don’t want him to do something stupid out of desperation.
He has a responsibility now even though he doesn’t know about it yet.
“About what Jace?” I stand up from the bed and stroll to my window. It has always given me the perfect view of the forest. I always stood here when I wanted to think because the view provides a calming sense.
“Us Anna” he mumbles sitting on my bed. I know what brought him here. What he wants us to talk about, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for that type of conversation yet. It’s inevitable though, especially after yesterday. It seems like there is a lot going on that I don’t know.
The man knew who I am and he also know whatever the black painful veins means. I haven’t felt it for the two years I was away, and it scares the shit out of me. I don’t want something bad to happen to me. Please, Goddess.
