(Chapter 6- What have I done?)    

Recap-

“I’m sticking to what I tried to say earlier. I think it’s too soon to share a room.” I confessed crossing my arms.

“Ok, then how about this.”

He picked up a few pillows from the bed and lined them in the middle.

“What are you doing?”

“This way you have your side and I have mine. No crossing over.” He said. “The bed is big enough for us to have our own personal space.”

I thought about it for a minute and realized that it would be ok and agreed.

“Ok but we stick to our own sides.”

“Deal.” He said.

I joined him in the bed but stayed as close to my side as possible. I didn’t want any accidents happening throughout the night. I snuggled myself into the pillows and turned on my side to watch the movie.

I felt myself growing tired. I tried as hard as I could to stay awake but my body was working against me. Ten minutes later I gave up the fight and closed my eyes sinking into the darkness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opening my eyes the next morning I found that I could barely move. Something heavy was draped across my stomach and hot air was being blown down my neck.

I slowly turned the best I could to face the object that has me trapped and that’s when I saw him, it was Tyler. I quickly started to panic at our closeness. Thank God he was still asleep of else this may have been even more awkward.

So much for sticking to our own sides, how did the pillows get moved anyway? I gently picked up Tyler’s arm and lifted it off of me before placing it at his side. After I was sure he wouldn’t wake up I pulled the covers off of me and slipped from the bed.

I wasted no time finding my clothes and quietly running to the bathroom. I instantly relaxed once I was inside and alone. It felt good to be by myself. In fact, that’s how I preferred it most of the time. I can think better that way.

I walked over to the bathroom door and made sure it was locked before I striped down for my shower. After patiently waiting for the water to warm I finally got in and began washing off as I thought about what happened last night.

I still can’t believe I wound up in his arms. I though the pillow work as a separation technique but I guess I was wrong. At least I’ll know for next time…

Oh no…next time! There is going to be a next time! How could I have forgotten that? I am going to be with him every day now. Not just everyday but every night too. How can I adjust to this? I have never lived with a guy before and I'm not really ready too. What if this happens again? Or even worse what if it’s me who ends up on his side next time? Oh… this is not good. I need a new plan quick.

After showering with his stuff since I didn’t have anything there I got out. I was a little upset that I would go around smelling like Tyler all day but I really didn’t have a choice. Mental note… pick up shower stuff from home.

“Just a second.” I called once I realized Tyler was trying to open the door to the bathroom.

I dried off as fast as I could and put on my clothes. I needed to dry my hair too but I guess I would have to wait for Tyler to get done in here first. Maybe I could find it and dry my hair in his room.

I dug through his cabinets until I found a hair dryer and carried it with me as I opened the door. Tyler was standing there sleepily waiting for me to exit.

He smiled as soon as he saw me. “I guess I was a little late getting the bathroom.”

“Yeah, I woke up a little early this morning.” I replied.

“How did you sleep?”

“Uh… fine.” I said.

“Good.”

We both stood there awkwardly waiting for each other to say something but after a couple of minutes we both just smiled and went on about our morning routines. Thank God that was over.

I plugged up the dryer and dried my hair leaving it a little damp so it would be a little wavy. Since I didn’t have my flat iron I couldn’t straiten my hair and this was my only option but I was ok with that because my hair looked really good wavy. I don’t know why I don’t let it go like this more often.

The remainder of the morning passed pretty quickly. Tyler and I didn’t have time to speak anymore since we were both trying to get ready, which was ok with me.  I really didn’t want to speak to him after this morning but I guess I would have to since it’s Saturday and we had plans to day or well I did and he invited himself along.

“Here this is for you.” Tyler said handing me a phone.

I slowly took it giving him a confused look.

“I got it for you so we can keep in touch. I noticed you didn’t have one.” He stated.

“You didn’t have to do that.”

“I wanted to.” He smiled.

“Oh…ok…well thanks.” I replied not really sure what to say.

Tyler walked over to his closet and put on his shoes before walking back to me.

“Ready for the beach?” He asked.

“Sure just let me call Reagan first. Can we pick her up on the way?”

“If that’s what you want.” He answered.

I was a little surprised by his response. He would do something just because I wanted him to, within reason of course but still. He must really like me and I like him to but I’m not sure if it’s the same way he does. I still have a lot to figure out.

“Thank you.” I said before using my new phone to call Reagan.

“Hey.” She cheered.

“Someone has a sunny disposition this morning.” I joked.

“You know it! It’s beach day.”

“I remember.” I laughed. “I was calling to tell you that Tyler and I are coming to pick you up.”

“Awesome, I’ll see you in a bit.” She said.

“Ok see ya.” I said before hanging up and turning to Tyler. “I’m ready.”

He smiled at me before grabbing my hand and leading me to the front door of his house. When got there I noticed the house was completely silent and empty.

“Where is everyone?” I asked.

“Since my parents won’t be back till tomorrow night I gave them the night off.” He said. “I do have a party to throw after all.”

“Oh yes, the party. So sorry I forgot.” I joked. “Can’t wait.”

We finally made it out the door and to his car. He opened the door and waited on me to get in before getting in his self and driving off. No one had ever opened a door for me before and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t flattered. Tyler could be a real sweetheart. It’s a shame he hasn’t meet his mate yet. She would be one lucky girl to have him.

After stopping to pick up Reagan and to fill up the car we were on our way to the beach. She was absolutely excited to see the new guy. I won’t lie he is good looking but to Reagan he was the best thing since sliced bread. I wouldn’t be shocked if they were real mates. I hope she gets to chance to meet hers.

“We’re here.” She sang before getting out of the car.

“Calm down Rae, we come here every weekend.” I laughed.

“I know but this time Jared will the here.” She said.

“You mean the new guy?” Tyler asked.

I nodded my head and pointed to Reagan. “Yeah this one has a major crush.”

“I could introduce you two if you want.” Tyler offered to her.

“Oh my gosh, really?” She squealed. “That would be amazing.”

“Ok, come on.” He smiled.

We followed behind Tyler until we reach a bunch of guys hanging out sitting in the back of a truck. Normally trucks weren’t allowed to be parked on the beach but somehow they always got away with it. I guess because they are wolves. They can be quiet intimidating sometimes.

“Hey man.” The guys said giving fist bumps and guy handshakes to Tyler.

“I see you brought the chicks.” One guy said smiling.

“Actually this is my Mate Kiela and her friend Reagan.” Tyler said.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Kyle.” A blonde guy said flirty hold out his hand to Reagan.

“Nice to meet you too.” She blushed.

Reagan was like me, not used to attention from guys. I knew she was loving it though.

“And I’m Trevor. How come we’ve never met?” He smiled.

“Okay guys back off.” Jared said abruptly.

“Why she doesn’t seem to mind?” Kyle said.

“Because I said so.” Jared said threateningly.

Instantly everyone got quiet and looked at Jared. I take it he normally didn’t act like that because they were staring at him like he had just grown three heads. Jared didn’t pay any attention to them though; instead he was staring at Reagan in a way I couldn’t describe.

“Mate.” She whispered.

Everyone suddenly realized Jared’s outburst then. That is how mates act once they find each other. They don’t want anyone to come between them or flirt with them or anything. They can get very jealous.

“Yes.” Jared answered smiling. “Let’s go for a walk.”

She quickly agreed and walked with him until they were a good ways away from us. I couldn’t blame them for wanting their privacy.

“Well that was interesting.” Trevor said.

“Yeah, I don’t think I have ever seen that before.” One of the other guys said.

“Come on.” Tyler said quickly pulling me away by my hand.

I watched behind me at Reagan and Jared as he pulled me away. I could help but be a little jealous of her now. I’m glad she found her mate but I want mine to. I’m starting to think now that it will never happen. I think I should just accept Tyler and move on. I don’t want to be kept waiting all my life for something they may never happen. That would just be a sad life wouldn’t it.

“I guess we won’t be taking her back home now.” Tyler said causing me to face him.

We were now standing in the front of the ocean watching the waves come in. It was so beautiful.

“I guess not.” I agreed.

We both stood there quietly taking in the atmosphere. No one had dared mention the elephant in the room. I know it was on both of our minds but we didn’t speak about it. I had a feeling that hanging out with Reagan might be more difficult now.

I hope he doesn’t try to keep me and Reagan apart now since they are true mates. If he threatened Megan and Alex for talking to me about it then he knows my best friend will do the same. We never keep anything from each other. I can’t let him do that though.

The rest of the day we all pretty much hung out together. Reagan looked as happy as could be. She never let go of Jared’s hand the whole time. It’s like they were attached at the hip now. I guess that’s how mates react to each other.

“Who’s ready to party?” One of the guys shouted.

“Party.” Kyle screamed.

“I guess it’s party time.” Tyler agreed.

“We’ll meet you there. Call everyone at tell them party starts at eight.” Tyler announced to everyone then left walking us to his car.

Reagan was getting in the car with Jared as we were driving off. I suppose it’s some unwritten rule that you stick with your mate for everything.

Thirty minutes later we were back at Tyler’s and setting up for the party. They guys were bringing out the beer and food while Reagan and I putting it all were it goes. I was flipping through Tyler’s IPod creating a playlist for the part when my phone started ringing. I pulled it out and saw that it was my mom calling. I guess Tyler’s mom must have given her the number because I hadn’t given it out yet.

“Hello.” I answered.

“Kiela?”

“Yeah?” I said.

“Your Aunt Madeline just passed away today and we are leaving in the morning for the funeral.” Mom said.

“How, what happened?” I asked hurt.

Madeline was my favorite Aunt. She would always come down for the summer and spend it with us. She spent of her time with me though since she didn’t have any kids. She said I was like her daughter and truth is she was just like a second mom to me too.

“She was killed by Rouges.” Mom said sadly. “She was out alone in the woods after dark and they attacked.”

“Oh no.” I gasped.

“I’m sorry honey. I know you two were incredibly close. We will come get you in the morning ok.”

“Ok.” I agreed.

“We already talked with The Alpha and his son Jeremy. They are expecting us at noon tomorrow to morn with the pack.”

“Alright I’ll see then.” I hung up before breaking down in tears.

I can’t believe she is gone. All because of the evil monstrous rouges. They are awful beings that are only out for blood.

“Are you ok?” Reagan asked.

“No.” I sobbed.

“Come on you need some privacy.”

She led me into a bedroom on the bottom floor that was being used to store coats and other belongings of the guest. She pushed the stuff aside and sat with me on the bed.

I explained to her what happened and she sat with me until I cried it out. By this point I was in no mood to party. All I wanted to do now was just be alone.

I don’t know how long we sat there but soon the music was thumping and I could hear chatter going on.

“Sound like the party has started.” She said.

“You go, I’ll be ok alone.”

“No I’m not leaving you. You need to go out there and have some fun. I know it hurts but she wouldn’t want you sitting here bawling your eye’s out over her.”

“But-“

“No. You know how care free and fun she was. Go enjoy yourself for her.” She demanded.

I nodded my head and stood up after her. I followed her out the door and into the party. Seeing all of the people there did help take my mind off of things for a bit and I was glad.

“I need something to-“ I turned and noticed Reagan was no longer there. “Drink.” I finished.

I guess she got lost in the crowed. I checked my face in the mirror made sure I looked presentable before walking to the drink table. I picked up a red solo cup with some red Kool-Aid or punch and drank it. At first it tasted funny but then it got better with time.

By the time I was on my third cup I felt myself being pulled away from the table. It was Tyler. It looked like he may have been drinking.

He pulled me on to the floor where everyone was dancing. It looked like fun so I joined and started dancing with Tyler. By the time the song was over I was ready for some more of that punch.

I walked back to the table and took another one before downing it in minutes. I felt myself get a little wobbly after that and room was spinning a bit.

“Whoa there.” Reagan said catching me. I didn’t even know I was falling. “Are you drunk?”

“What me, never.” I laughed. “Although I did have some really good Kool-Aid.”

She picked up one of the cups and smelled of it. “That’s spiked.”

“Oopsie.” I giggled.

“Okay, sit down and don’t move. I’m going to get you some water.” She said finding me a chair in the corner.

After she left I got back up to dance. Tyler was still there with some girl dancing beside him.

“Hey babe.” I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck.

“Hey.” He smiled back.

I looked around saw that everyone was grinding so I started doing the same. I had never in my life done this so I must have looked stupid. Tyler wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close before bringing his lips to mine and that was the last thing I remembered.

******

I woke up to my head throbbing as my cell phone went off. I groaned and tried to feel for my phone. It hurt too much opening my eyes so I kept them closed as I searched. Once I finally found it I answered it.

“Hello?” I croaked.

“Kiela honey what’s wrong? Are you sick?” Mom questioned.

“No.” I lied.

I actually felt like I could throw up. Maybe if I did it would help me to feel better.

“Good. Get up and get ready. We will be there to get you in two hours.” She said before hanging up.

Just as I placed the phone back down on the table I heard someone groan next to me. I froze in alarm.

I carefully opened my eyes and saw a sleeping Tyler next to me. I blew out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it was only him.

I pulled the blankets off of me and when the cold air hit every part of my body that’s when I realized what happened. I was naked and so was Tyler. I wanted to scream but stopped myself so I wouldn’t increase my headache and so I wouldn’t wake him.

I got out of bed ran to my stuff and pulled out a simple sundress and put it on before entering the bathroom. I splashed some cold water on my face in hopes of making myself feel better but it didn’t do much good, I still felt that sick feeling in my stomach.

I picked the towel up off the sink and dried my face. I was so ashamed of myself right now I don’t think I could even look in the mirror. How could I have done something so stupid? I started to cry at what I gave up last night that I was saving for my mate and now it was gone. I’ll never have that back again.

I let my eyes flicker to the mirror for just a second while turning away when I spotted something on my shoulder blade. I did a quick double take and took a closer look. I gasped at what I saw.

I was marked, marked by Tyler. We had completed the mating last night and now it can’t be undone unless he dies or let’s me go but I don’t think he will do that. If he really likes me as much as he says then I have no hope of getting out of it.

I quickly showered and got dressed before Tyler woke so I could hopefully get out of there before he could stop me. I was really glad that my parents were coming to get me. I know I couldn’t face him now. This was way worse than yesterday morning.

Once I was ready to go I found a piece of paper and a pin and began writing Tyler a note.

-Gone with my parent’s to my Aunts funeral. I’ll be back in 3 days.-

                                                                                                     -Kiela-

Grabbing my things I was out the door. I tried to ignore all the reminders left of the party while waiting for my parents to arrive. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long because they pulled up in about ten minutes. I rushed getting in the car so we could leave.

“I’m glad you were ready. We are already going to be late meeting the Alpha and his son.” Dad complained before speeding away.
