Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Shiela's POV

Shiela, I once again heard . However, this time the call was coming from the bathroom door . not in the head .

When I opened the door, I was met with the tomato-red cheek pointing at me and eyes fixed to me .

I completely forgot that I didn't even warp a towel before opening the door until I looked down at myself .

I screamed and shut the door fast, my cheek turning tomato red from my folly .

I get myself ready with a towel and leave the bathroom .

I couldn't help but feel ashamed of what I had done; how could I have been so foolish ?

I looked down at my toe and wondered if it was Ashley or Lincoln at the door .

I just praise God that it wasn't any of them and that it was his mother and not him .

I should not have called you that, I'm sorry . Mom of Ashley commented as she extended some clothing for me .

" I was afraid that something had occurred . " She continued, and I took the clothing from her .

I started counting my fingers, which piqued my interest .

When you didn't return his call, Ashley became concerned as well .

He mistook you for asleep when we were on our way to your room and thought you had passed out .

My bed is being made, she remarked .

Wow, he really did call for me ? I assumed that was just my mind playing tricks on me, so I didn't know . Looking innocent, I said .

She gave me a raised brow . You know I haven't thought about someone in a while . I hastily inserted .

The full moon is tonight, so don't worry, kid . As she continued, I turned around and nodded .

It denotes that you would be welcomed tonight . Making me pause in my tracks, she added

Not in this way, I'm not ready to lose my virginity right now . I thought as I stared at her with terror written all over my face, " I want it to be romantic . "

" I didn't mean that; instead, I meant that you will be welcomed into the family and included in the pack . nor the Luna component . " I sighed in relief when she stated this .

I went into the wardrobe to get dressed and chastise my mind and the wolf for misinterpreting her words .

A short while later

She handed me a short-sleeved Free dress, which I wore as I exited .

I sat next to her on the sofa with my hair in a bun . After a period of stillness, I finally posed the query that was driving me crazy .

" Mom, aren't you mad at me ? " I questioned nervously .

" Why ? "

She enquired while pouring a cup of coffee for herself and me .

" For fighting Athena and not telling you we were mates when I got the chance . " If Beck says she is having a breakdown, I warned her about it .

" No, I'm not"

She responded, which caused me to stare at her in surprise .

She patted my head and added, " You know it took me a good year to tell my parents when I got to meet my Mate .

I have to pleadingly ask my mother not to inform my dad for a week . which gives me an additional two weeks to tell my father . She continued, sipping on some coffee .

And your battle with Athena was justified because you were defending your Mate and your proper position .

Additionally, you were battling for the pack .

She made me question why as she spoke .

" Why ? "

I asked, unable to control my anxiety .

If you don't say anything, everyone will think she's the Luna .

And as you can see, my kid isn't prepared to take action . I nodded as she stated .

You did the right thing, kid, and I wish Ashley had valued you ever when he first met you .

Kissing my head, she said .

" Prior until now ?

I asked while standing .

" Do not be concerned; you will comprehend . I had to leave, kid . " She mentioned leaving .

I'm grateful for today .

I yelled after her because I heard her hum, but she had already left my room .

Why did she say that earlier ? Thinking while lying on my side .

I whimper as a result of the ache in my side . I switch to lying on my back to sleep now .

When Lincoln stepped through the door, I was sucked into unknowing thoughts .

Prior to hearing his voice .

Why didn't you let me know that Ashley is your Mate ? He questioned, I believe, with a range in his voice mixed with jealously . . .
