The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Kendrix

“No, you are special to me, Arielyn, and I am not lying, I only found out the day you left because I went to confront my brother and found them both together in an intimate position after she lied to me that he was trying to kill her. they set me up and I stupidly fell for it, Jordan called you that night to come and see because it was all part of their plans, Jordan wanted to get back at me for not giving up the throne for him and Veronica hated to see me happy,”

I explained.

“I don’t understand, what?”

She asked.

“Yeah, it is a long story,”

“Let’s go over there, I am tired of standing,”

She said, pointing to the terrace, I nodded and followed her, she took a seat and gestured for me to do the same which I did, I sat there just looking at her, missing her so much, wanting to hug her and be close to her instead of just sitting far from her. she wasn’t even looking at me.

“Are you going to stare at me all day or you are going to explain the bizarre story you share?”

She asked.

“Yes, I will explain,”

I said and told her everything that happened from the moment I took Jordan’s call, to me matching to his house and then confronting them.

“Wow, that’s a lot,”

She said when I was done explaining. There was a moment of silence because I couldn’t for the life of mine figure out a way to go further.

“You are really not with her, right?”

She asked in a low voice.

“Yes, I promise, I am not with her, I will never see her again, I promise you, please, Ariel, give me a chance to fix things with us, to show you that you are the only one for me,”

I pleaded, I was almost falling off the chair because I wasn’t sitting properly but that wasn’t what mattered to me.

“I don’t know, Kendrix, I have been rejected a lot, I find it hard to trust anyone,”

“I know, I know, I am not asking for you to trust me already, I just want you to give me a chance,”

I told her sincerely.

“I should, I mean, I misunderstood you a lot,”

Her words brought me a small trail of hope, I waited eagerly for her to continue.

“I made up with my brothers today, I have been seeing my dad recently and we are building a relationship too, he gave me this house and a lot more things, my brothers want to get to know me, their wives too, and their kids,”

She explained. I knew these details because I spoke to her family but I didn’t tell her as I didn’t want to say anything that would upset her again.

“That’s good to know,”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I said.

“Yeah, it was easy to give them another chance but I don’t know if I can do that with you, you hurt me when you didn’t believe me when I told you that we were mate, it hurt more than when Jordan had rejected me in public, it hurt so much more than that because I trusted you so much, it hurt so much because I gave myself totally to you, my heart, my body, everything,”

She got up from where she sat as she spoke and walked away from me, I stood up and followed her, standing behind her, she turned to me and had tears in her eyes, my heart broke when I saw her tears, knowing that I hurt her so much and made her cry and that this wasn’t the first time.

“Ariel,”

“No, don’t come close,”

She warned me when I tried to go near her, I nodded and stayed where I was.

“I know I should just let it be since I know now that I misunderstood a lot of things that happened but I can’t help the way I am feeling, Ken, I asked you, so many times but you told me there was nothing to worry about. You lied.”

She reminded me and I bowed my head in shame.

“I am not making excuses for what I did, I just didn’t know how to tell you because I was scared that you would leave me if you found out,”

I explained.

“I don’t know if I would have been able to handle it either but you should have told me, it wasn’t nice finding out from Jordan of all people, and then I find you hugging the same woman; as if that wasn’t enough, I found her at our house when I woke up the next day, my already insecure heart just couldn’t take it, I already felt alone because of the mate thing, I just, goodness,”

She said and paused. I tried to go to her again and this time, she didn’t stop me, I walked close to her and took a risk, I reached for her hands while holding my breath and silently praying to the moon goddess that she would not push me away again, it was a huge relief when she let me hold her hands.

“Ariel, I am sorry, I am so sorry that I doubted you, I am sorry for telling you that you were mistaken,”

I apologized, heartily. She didn’t pull away from me and she lifted her eyes to meet mine, it gave me so much hope, I let go of one of her hands and reached out to touch her face, she leaned into my touch and my heart jumped. I was making progress and that gave me so much courage.

“Let’s do it, Ken, I will give you a chance, let’s work things out,”

She told me, her eyes shining with tears, I wiped the tears off gently, as a rush of relief washed over me, she finally agreed to give me another chance; I felt like I could really breathe again, she let me hold her and she also gave me a second chance, it gave me the courage I needed to tell her how I felt about her.

“I want you to know one thing, baby, even though I didn’t think we were mates which was stupid of me; I still wanted you and only you, I love you, Arielyn, so very much; I love you Arielyn, only you, please believe me, my life is incomplete without you,”

I confessed, baring out my heart to her.
