Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Blaze hurriedly went home and slammed the door to his room, real hard. He cursed and punched the wall in front of him, repeatedly. If it wasn't for Caleb stopping him, Blaze could have gone to Ella. Caleb said to him that he knows Ella won't listen to any words he has to say.

"Stupid, Blaze!" Blaze's wolf angrily said. "I told you to dismiss that girl, but you still talk to her!" his wolf added. Blaze slumped on the ground while pulling his hair.

"I know, bud. I'm sorry," Blaze said. The kiss caught Blaze off guard, but it didn't mean anything to him. Tracie – the girl who kissed her was just a little sister for him. Blaze doesn't love her nor likes her romantically.

"Blaze Matthew Reese! Come down right this instant!" his mother shouted. Blaze groaned in annoyance. He wanted to be left alone in his room, but when his mother called his full name, he couldn't do anything. Blaze opened the door and went downstairs.

"What is it, Mom?" Blaze asked. Candice – her mother's name and the former Luna of the Blue Moon pack, narrowed her eyes and smacked his shoulder.

"That hurt, Mom! What did I do?" Blaze asked while rubbing his shoulder.

"I heard from Caleb that you already found your mate!" Candice said, raising her voice in excitement. "Why didn't you tell us?" she added grouchily.

"Didn't Caleb tell you?" Blaze asked. Candice raised her eyebrows at her son. "Tell what?" Candice asked and crossed her arms.

"She's a human, Mom," Blaze confessed. "My mate is a human," he added and slumped on the couch. There was a long silence between them. Candice sat on the opposite couch in front of her son's.

"That's a shocking revelation you got there, son," Candice said. She never knew it could be possible for a human to become a mate with the werewolves but seeing her son right now, and the impossible becomes realizable.

"So, what are your plans to make her fall for you?" Candice asked with a big grin plastered on her face. Blaze frowned. He was expecting her to be more shocked or worried, but the reaction Blaze got was the opposite. His mother looks happy. Blaze heaved a sigh.

"What happened, son?" Candice softly asked.

"My mate saw Tracie kiss me outside the music room earlier," Blaze confessed.

"What!? Tracie kissed you?" Candice yelled. She couldn't believe her goddaughter could do it. Blaze nodded absentmindedly. "I'll talk your Tita Alice about this," she added.

"No, Mom. I can handle this myself. I'll talk to Tracie," Blaze said. Blaze knows Caleb already talked to her younger sister.

"So, what's your plan? I bet she's furious at you right now," Candice said. Blaze knows this very well. After knowing Ella's past, he felt like a jerk that he couldn't push Tracie on time. He was still working hard for Ella to trust her, but now it all crumbled to dust.

"I don't know, Mom. Can you help me?" Blaze asked. He had been frustrated and confused. Blaze wanted to go to Ella right now, but he's sure that she won't face him.

"Serenade her, son," Blaze's father Blake, interjected. He looked at him. His father just got home from an important meeting. Blaze's father sat beside his mother and kissed the top of her head. Candice giggled like a teen and kissed her husband's cheeks. Blaze looked away.

"Your Dad's suggestion is good, Blaze," Candice said and leaned on her husband's shoulder. "Make her feel that you are serious with and only her. In that way, she might forgive you," she added. Candice couldn't wait to meet her son's mate.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad," Blaze said with a smile on his face.

"Now, give your mommy a hug, my baby," Candice said with open arms. Blaze's face contorted in disgust.

"Mom! I'm not a baby!" Blaze mumbled. Candice laughed together with her husband. Blaze loves seeing his parents like this. They are getting old as time passed by. He thinks it's good to see them happy wholeheartedly.

"I missed your sister," Candice blurted out all of a sudden. She was talking about her other child, Blaze's twin, Cassandra. Cassandra was admitted to Academia, far away from the pack. Blaze stood up and went to his mom. He kneeled in front of her and held her hand.

"We all missed Cassy, Mom." Blaze said. He wiped the stray tears that left her mother's eyes and hugged her tightly.

"I love you, my son. You and your siblings are important to us," Candice sweetly said. Blaze smiled through the hug. He may not be vocal about it, but he loves his parents with all of his heart.

"I have to go, Mom," Blaze said. Candice nodded her head and watched her son walk away. Blaze went back to his room. He quickly picked up his phone and called his bandmates.

"Wait for me, Ella," Blaze whispered.

Ella grumpily sat on her bed. She kept chanting to herself that she was nothing. That the kiss didn't mean to her, but her heart and mind were acting the opposite. Ella was greatly affected by what happened.

"I don't care about them. Screw them all," Ella said and buried her face on the pillow. She screamed until her throat hurts. Ella felt like something sharp pricked her heart when that girl kissed Blaze.

"Am I falling for him?" Ella mumbled. She sat up and heaved a sigh. Ella hated Blaze for making her feel this way. A knock interrupted her thoughts. She stood up and went to open the door.

"What is it, Mom?" Ella asked. Her mother smiled and pulled her.

"There's a handsome young man outside. He says his name was Blaze," Elisa said. Ella's eyes widened in surprise. "He said he's going to serenade you," she added.

"Ella, why didn't you tell that you have a suitor?" Elisa said while smiling widely at her daughter. Ella couldn't breathe; she was sweating bullets.

"Can you repeat his name, Mom?" Ella asked, confirming what she had heard. "Blaze," Elisa answered. On cue, Blaze's voice resonated outside.

"Sweet pea, please hear me out," Blaze said. Ella ran down the stairs and opened the front door. She saw Blaze holding his guitar, looking at her intently with his bandmates behind her. Ella gulped. She felt like the depths of his mesmerizing eyes were pulling her.

"What you saw earlier, I can explain that," Blaze said. "Tracie was like a younger sister to me. I don't like her romantically, and I don't like the kissed," he added and sadly smiled at Ella.

"I was caught off guard that I couldn't push her away. I'm serious with you, Ella," Blaze said. The people outside cheered, and Ella blushed like a ripened tomato. "Please believe me. I wanted to court you properly. This song I'm going to play was dedicated to you," he added. Blaze looked back and nodded at his bandmates. He smiled and began strumming the guitar he was holding.

The blaze started singing. Ella covered her mouth. The blaze had an incredible voice that moved Ella's feelings. In the middle of his singing, the rain suddenly poured. Ella hurriedly picked the umbrella beside her and ran towards them.

"Are you crazy!? It's raining real hard. You can stop now!" Ella yelled, but a smile was his only reply. Blaze even winked at Ella and resumed singing the piece.

"Did you like it?" Blaze asked when he finished the song. He slowly walked in his mate's direction. Ella ignored his question and handed him the extra umbrella she has. Blaze didn't take it and stopped in front of her, soaked in the cold rain.

"Sweetie, please talk to me." Blaze pleaded. Ella avoided his gaze. Blaze cupped her face and slowly turned it until their eyes met.

"I'm sorry, love. Please, forgive me," Blaze said. Ella sighed and pinched him on the cheeks.

"I forgive you," Ella said while smiling. Blaze jumped and yelled; he smiled and hugged Ella. Blaze's bandmates cheered behind. The serenade their Alpha planned was a success.

"Hey! You're soaked in the rain, don't suddenly hug me!" Ella whine and tried pushing Blaze away, but he won't budge. Blaze tightly hugged her, afraid to let go.

"Can I court you officially, Ella Merlyn Scott?" Blaze seriously asked. Ella's heartbeat fastened; she could feel the butterflies tingling in her stomach. Ella looked back and saw her mother smiling widely at her. She turned and nodded her head as to answer Blaze's question.

"You can but please, don't break my heart, Blaze Matthew Reese," Ella muttered. Blaze shouted 'yes' multiple times. He carried Ella and swung her around.

"Stop it! I'm getting dizzy." Ella said while laughing. Blaze stopped and kissed her on the forehead.

"Thank you for giving me a chance," Blaze said. He was happy. Blaze's wolf celebrated inside. This is the moment they've been waiting for in their whole life.

"Guys, get inside here!" Elisa called. She wiped the tears from her eyes. Elisa was happy seeing her daughter slowly overcome her heartbreak. "You'll get sick if you stay too long in the rain," Elisa added. Ella laughed together with Blaze. Elisa invited them over and prepared a hot soup. Seeing Blaze at her mother happily chatting made Ella's heart swelled. She hates Blaze for making her feel this happy.
