Chapter 35: Chapter 35

I saw that just like yesterday, his fangs were out and his eyes were pitch black.

“I guess this is how it's always going to be.” I said as I watched his fangs shorten into normal teeth and his eyes dark eyes return to normal hazel and white.

“Yeah, but I’ve been wondering…” He started as he lifted one hand to trail his index finger down my neck. I shivered delightfully and he glanced back into my eyes. His gaze was still hot as he continued, “What will happen once I let myself bite you.”

He took his hand back and I missed the sensation of his fingers tracing my skin. I looked back into his eyes as he gripped my waist tighter. “I’ve wondered about that too.”

“I can feel the strong urge to do so, but I’ve got to stop myself because I am scared that it will result in me hurting you.” He said intensely and I could see that whenever he kissed my neck, how much restraint he was using. I placed my hands on his and took them away from my hips before sliding down from his lap and onto the couch.

I let his hands rest on his lap and let them go as I said, “Maybe we should stay away from each other like that until we find a solution. Besides, we’re not sure if we’re mates, so it’s best that we stay away for now.”

Jake shook his head, his eyes looking pained as he took my hand in his own. “No, baby doll. Not when we finally got together. Staying away will only give Kane what he wants, and to have a chance with you again. Mates or not, I know what I feel for you, Max and it’s love.”

I took in a deep breath and released it, “You’re right, but I still think that we shouldn’t kiss or anything like that until we meet Tanner and figure things out along with finding out if we’re mates.”

The pained look in his eyes washed away and he chuckled deeply, “That will be hard to do because I always want to touch you, taste you and be one with you.”

I felt my cheeks heat up at his words, and he chuckled as he raised his free hand and pinched my cheek. “You look so cute when you blush.”

I chuckle as my blush subsided and looked at him, “How do you know that I’m blushing?”

He smiled, taking his hand away from my face and to his lap, “Your expression, you look shy and cute, but still hot.”

I chuckled again, slapping his thigh with my other hand, and he caught my hand before I took it back. “Careful where you touch, baby doll or there won’t be any staying away from each other.”

My cheeks flamed up at what he was implying, and I pulled my hand out of his grip. “Stop being a perv, Jake!”

His lips quirked up at the corner in a smirk, “Not being a perv when you’re my girlfriend.”

I shook my head with a smile as my face cooled down, “Not when we just started daring.”

He chuckled and stood up. “I’m gonna have to go back home to take care of some things, but I’ll be back before the twins come here.”

I felt a little down that he would be leaving ‘cause I never want to leave his side, but I knew that I couldn’t be clingy since he has his own life too. “Sure, I’ll see you later and say ‘hi’ to your mom for me.”

“I will.” He bent down to reach my face as I was sitting down. He pressed his lips on my forehead before pulling back as I felt my heart beat faster at the contact. “Later, my baby doll.”

“Okay.” I replied with a smile, and he grinned at me as he turned around to walk to the door. I watched as he opened the door and walked out.

I decided to do some homework before he returned because I still needed to do good in school to prove to my dad that I was changing.

Some hours later, I heard the door bell ring and I stood up from the couch where I was doing my homework and placed my notebook and pen on it. I made way to the door, thinking it was Jake, but I opened it to see Kane standing in the doorway.

He smirked evilly when he saw me and I slammed the door shut at his face. “Oh, come on, Max. Just talk to me and I’ll tell you why I wanted to turn you.”

“Go away, Kane or I’ll kill you even if I have to die in the process.” I yelled through the door as a frown showed on my face.

I heard him let out a dark laugh then said in a stiff voice, “Open the door, Max. I’m not asking nicely again.”

He thought that would scare me? Maybe then when I was weak, but not now. I felt my hands ball into fists as I felt angry at him for everything that he has done to me. Every abuse. “I’m not answering nicely either, Kane! Leave or I swear to God that I will come out there and fight you.”

There was a moment of silence as I heard him let out another dark laugh. “Fine, you want me to leave? I’ll leave, but before I leave, I want to tell you that you’re my mate and I’m yours.”

What he said made my heart stop for a millisecond, no, it couldn’t be. Kane couldn’t be my mate, that would never happen. Fate would never be so cruel, and not only that, I have never felt any connection with him even when we dated.

He also didn’t love me, so how could it be? He had to be lying so that he would have me crawling back into his arms to control and abuse me as he wished.
