  We go down the grand stairs and past the lounge and into the kitchen. Thank goodness it was empty. Gabe sits down on one of the stools and I head to the fridge. Nothing. I head to the pantry. Score! 2 minute noodles! I wave the noodle packets in front of Gabe and he grins and nods. I walk up to the kettle and boil some water. Then I empty the packets in two separate bowls but leave the flavouring for last. I walk over to Gabe and sit on the stool next to him.

  

      "You need to apologize to Cliff." I say in a serious voice.

  

      "What? No way!" He argued. Ugh, men and their pride.

  

      "Yes, or I will not finish your noodles." I say with a smirk. He groans then agrees.

  

      "Fine. But he has to come to me." I nod as soon as the water is boiled. I pour heaps of water into the 2 bowls then cover them up. Pfffft, 2 minutes my a$$. I go in search for some juice. I fo

  Oh, my dear mother.

  

      I smile and look up at him. I take a step closer until our chests are touching. I put my hand on his chest and move it up and down, rubbing it. He growls slowly and that’s when I decided to do it. I kneed his manly-hood and he instantly fell to his knees, holding it. I crouch down until I’m eye level with him. I smirk at him.

  

      "Don't touch me." I whisper then leave him there, in pain.

  

      'Why? Why did you hurt mate?' My wolf asked my.

  

      'Why do you only talk to me when it's about mate?' I question her.

  

      'Because he is ours, and ours only.'

  

      'What if he hurts us? Like Sam and that?'

  

      'He is mate, and he loves us. Plus you just hurt him first.' With that, she leaves to where ever she goes to. I run up the stairs and into my room. I lock the door behind me and gasp at what just happened.

  Elea POV

  

      I gulp down a lump that I never knew was there. Slowly, I start to tremble and shake. I look at those forest green eyes and I go silent. I just have that feeling that he's somehow going to harm me soon but he's not. It's such a weird feeling and I feel stuck in-between.

  

      "Nervous are you babe?" He asked, his voice husky. I slowly shake my head when he chuckles and it is just the cutest thing you can hear! Wait, what am I saying?

  

      "That was quite a run. Now let's go to my room and start things off fresh?" He grins at me and I am scared shitless here!! Man, he's hot but damn right creepy! Who says that to someone they barely know?! I slowly shake my head at him, but make sure he can see it's a no.

  

      "Don't worry babe, I won't hurt you. Maybe I marking you will but after it’s all pleasure." He said with a smirk on his face. With that I start to cry. Not full on crying, but like tears coming out and me silent. I guess you could call it a sob? I look down at me feet only to have him hold my face with both of his hands and pulling my face up to his. He wipes away my tears with his thumb and I notice the pain and hurt in his eyes. It angers me a bit.

  

      "No." I whisper and he looks taken aback.

  

      "No what?" He looked confused.

  

      “No! I will not be your mate! I do not want to have a mate! I don't want to bear your mark on my neck! I don't want you! I- I Elea Cyrus reje-" My screaming was cut off with him kissing me. I don't know what came over me but I co-operated for a bit before I realised that I was making out with my alpha mate in the front of my bedroom door. I pushed him away from me, startling him a bit. 

  

      He came close to me and laid his forehead on mine and whispered, "You're mine and only mine. Don't you ever forget that." And with that he pecked my lips and left me standing there, wondering what the heck just happened. 

  

      I slid down the door and put my knees up to my chest and cried my heart out. I was crying for so many reasons. For finding my mate, for allowing our relationship to jump a step that fast and for acting so weak in front of him. I really wanted to be that brave girl that could over look her past and move on but look at me; I can't even look in my mates eyes without crying from fear.

  

      I was crying for a few minutes when I felt someone place there arm around my shoulder and pull me into a hug. I thought it was Gabe but when I looked up, it was Cliff. He hugged me and I felt great comfort in his arms. I'm sure this man is bi polar. Glares at me then smiles and now this? What's next? Crying with me!?

  

      "Shhh, it's ok." He murmured while rubbing my back.

  

      “No it's not. You won't understa-" I was cut short when Gabe opened the door and saw us. Thank fully I was leaning on Cliff otherwise I would have got pulled in. I look up to meet Gabe black eyes.

  

      "What the f*** did you do to her?!" Gabe growled while grabbing the back of Cliff's neck and then her shoved him to the wall, moving his hand really fast to the front of Cliffs neck.

  

      "I di- did noth-nothing bro." Cliff stutters. Gabe didn't buy it. I noticed that Cliff was about a foot off the floor and he was struggling to get Gabe’s hand off. I slowly get up and go to Gabe. I put my hand on his shoulder and he immediately loosens.

  

      "He's right Gabe, he didn't do it. He was trying to comfort me." Gabe drops Cliff onto the floor and I watch as Cliff gasps for air.

  

      "Don't ever touch her again! Understood?!" Gabe growls. Poor Cliff nods then gets up and runs to a room, not far from ours and I think it's his. Gabe instantly turns around and pulls me in for a hug. I sob some more and he whispers soothing words to me. He pulls back and wipes my tears. "Stop crying, you look ugly." He winks and I chuckle then punch him on the shoulder. I notice his eyes are back to blue. He rubs his arm and whines, "What was that for?!"

  

      "First, boy I am always pretty and second, look what you did to poor Cliff!" I said pointing to the direction he ran.

  

      He chuckles, "You're always beautiful and second, that boy was a weenie!" Now it was my turn to chuckle.

  

      "Weenie? Really Gabe? What are we 5?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. He just shrugs his shoulders and pushes me inside. I go and sit on my bed then shortly after Gabe comes and sits opposite me on his bed.

  

      "So are you going to tell me what happened?"

  

      "Uhm...I er...found him." I mumbled, hoping somehow my words were false. Gabe gasps and he sounds like a girl when he did that.

  

      "No way! That’s good isn't it?! Who is it? Was he cute?" He winks with a smirk.

  

      "It's not good Gabe! You know how much I don't want a mate! And to make it worse, he's the f***ing Alpha! What if he hurts me like Sam?" I whisper the last part but I know that Gabe hears me.

  

      "Hey language," he scolded. "And he won't hurt you! Sam was a dickhead and an idiot. Alpha Jonas is your mate, and mates won't hurt their mate." Gabe states with a matter-of-fact voice.

  

      "Oh yeah?! Then why the hell did he just shove his tongue down my throat when I was going to reject him?!" I yell. I notice how Gabe stiffens after I tell him that. His eyes slowly going black.

  

      "He did what?!" Gabe got off the bed and walked to the door muttering things like, I’m going to kill that mutt and stuff. I panic and run to the door, blocking it before he could do anything stupid.

  

      "Gabe, calm down. I'm fine." I say. He closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose. A habit he got from dad. He slowly opened them and his eyes were that shade of blue again.

  

      "Why did you reject him?" He asks calmly.

  

      "Uhhh, because I don't want a mate." I say in a duh voice. Didn't I just explain that to him?

  

      "Just give him a chance Irs. Maybe he will be the best thing that ever happened to you, to us." I look at his pleading eyes. I sigh and run a hand through my hair.

  

      "Fine, but if he tries anything too early, then I am rejecting him." I say with a serious voice.

  

      "Yep, and I will beat his a$$ and we will leave." He smiles then walks to his bed. I turn around and open the door.

  

      "Where are you going?" He asks, looking up.

  

      "Come on! I'm so hungry!!" I groan. He laughs then nods. We walk outside and I remember the way we came in and also where the kitchen was. I lead the way as Gabe follows.

We go down the grand stairs and past the lounge and into the kitchen. Thank goodness it was empty. Gabe sits down on one of the stools and I head to the fridge. Nothing. I head to the pantry. Score! 2 minute noodles! I wave the noodle packets in front of Gabe and he grins and nods. I walk up to the kettle and boil some water.
