Are You My Mate? novel Chapter 4

"You've been out here all this time with her!" Squeals Luna Karen, causing him to stop in his tracks, from climbing any more steps when he sees her. "Mom please don't start," he says as he hurries back down the stairs to stand in front of me. I grab on to the back of his shirt and I lightly squeeze it, because truthfully, she frightens me.

She must really hate me now for taking him away from her, at least that's what the look on her face tells me. ''I'm here aren't I?!" "Alpha Bendler and his Betas daughter are here, so stop playing with these pathetic pack girls," "Mom Denai is not pathetic,"-

"Why are the girls of our pack not good enough for our own Alpha,?" I ask, a little surprised by my bravery. ''Excuse me, are you talking to me?!" I'm surprised because I have never really talked to her. (Willingly) If I could go the rest of my life without talking her I would. (Sorry Dean)

''It's just a question mam'' "I didn't mean any disrespect by it" I say as I walk in front of him with my head bowed out of respect. "Because I know every single one of you, and non of you have anything to offer my son,"

"We could learn, and what if one of the wolves here does turn out to be his mate?" "I don't have time to talk about this, and with you of all people," she says as she turns her nose up to me. "I'll see you later Deni," says Dean with a huge amused smile and I can't help but smile back. (Is he proud of me for questioning his mom?)

"Okay, I'm going to run and then I'll train later" "Well let me know if you need help," "Okay I will," I say happily, trying not to overdo it. "Dean don't waste your time or hers, she's weak," "Bye Dean" I say as I wave to him and he gives me one more smile, making my day and entire week. I bow and look away when I see his mom glaring at me.

"Lift your head up Denai," "I don't want to see you bowing to her ever again," "You were on a roll, then you backed down," "I was proud of you at first and so was Dean," I smile as I think about it. "He was proud of me, wasn't he?" "If you listen to me, you'll have your Alpha and put his mom in her place at the same time," "But you'll want me to be mean and to possibly say bad words," "Hey, sometimes you have to get out of character to reach certain people," I shake my head as I shift, then I let her take over, which she does most of the time anyways.

After my run, I quickly shower and I sit on my couch to look through our family photo album. I smile when I see a picture of my parents before they had me and then I kiss it. I want to get it enlarged so that I can hang it on my wall.

Some people think that I'm weird for still living here after all these years, since I, make enough to afford a new house. I can't just leave, because I have all of my happy memories here and my parents' bedroom still smells like my dad, so I sleep in there whenever I miss him too much.

I just hope my mate will understand me for wanting to visit here, even after, I move in with him. (Or who says he can't move in with me?) Goddess bless me with a sweet, caring, understanding mate. (Red hair and freckles is a bonus, and if it's not to much to ask his name should start with a Dean)

I woke up on the couch hugging the photo album, and I look around feeling lost. It was still early so I got up and dragged myself to my bed. I climbed in and hugged my long body pillow close to me. Sometimes I imagine it's Dean and I squeeze it tighter, although I've never kissed it. (Probably because I don't know how to kiss and I want him to be my first, not my pillow. (I promise, I'm not obsessed with him)

My alarm wakes me up and I take a quick shower. I put on a white cap sleeved blouse and a black skirt that comes just to my knees. My black kitten heeled pumps are my everyday shoe, at least, they are for the days that I have to work.
