Ace POV
“What?” I said answering my phone
“Oooooh big bad wolf is angry?” Carter teased
“What do you want Carter, I'm in the middle of something here.”
“Don't tell me you're fucking Trinity?” I didn't respond, because indeed I was trying to let off some steam.
“Seriously Ace? SERIOUSLY? You're shitting me right? How could you?... You know what forget it.” then the line went dead. I felt self-conscious and wasn't in the mood anymore, so I put on my jeans and left her room as fast as I could.
I called Carter but it went directly to voicemail, I tried 4 times to no avail. I grabbed my car keys and went to his place.
10 minutes later I was in front of his place, I rang the doorbell, His grandma opened the door for me and invited me in. I went straight to his room, I pushed the door open and there he was watching fucking tv while ignoring my calls.
“Why were you fucking ignoring my calls?”
“I'm not your fucking pet, so yeah I can ignore you if I want to.”
“Seriously? Is this about Trinity?”
“This is about Azalea, I called to tell you something but... You know what? she's better off without you. When you strangled me earlier today, I really thought that you would want her enough to protect her, even from yourself, but it was just your wolf’s instinct, you would never make her happy, you would never take care of her, you would never love her the way she deserves... Just know that she's not the type that would wait around for you, she's stronger than we all think, I can feel it, and I’m sure your wolf can feel it too.” He got up and left the room.
At that moment, I resented myself for being the asshole I know am, I've never felt this way before, even my wolf refused to speak to me. I felt gutted with myself for even touching someone that isn't my mate... My mate... Azalea...she's beautiful, innocent and pure but not naive.
She's definitely out of my league, but I can't help myself for still wanting her, maybe it's just the mate bond, I mean no werewolf can fight the mate bond, but we can still reject our mates, which can cause damage to both of us, something I don't really want to risk. Maybe if I avoid seeing her I won't be thinking about her, I mean I was fucking someone else an hour ago, yes it was disgusting, and no it didn't get my mind off of her, but I was busy doing something else than looking for her.
Who am I kidding? FUCK! I exited the room to go looking for Carter, when I caught her scent, it was strong which means that she's not far. I followed her sweet scent, to find myself in front of a bedroom door, slightly ajar. I pushed it a little to get a better view, I knew I was violating my mate's privacy, I mean she doesn't know she's my mate yet, but still! There she was, in front of a full length mirror, wearing a knee length backless sundress with a deep V neck and wedge sandals, her hair was down... My heart was pounding at the sight in front of me.
“Why is she dressed like that?” Achilles said.
“Oh now you're speaking to me.”
“Don't fuck with me Ace, our mate is definitely going out on a date, I'll be damned it I let any other male touch her, do you hear me?”
“Do you think that I want that?”
“What're you doing here?” she said frowning
“Where are you going?” I snapped
“Hummm… None of your business?” I entered her room, and walked slowly towards her, I heard her heart pounding erratically, I could smell her sweet arousal, I smirked when I cornered her for the second time today.
“Don't play this game with me kitten.”
“I'm not the one playing games Ace.” fuck my dick hardened at the mere sound of my name out of her lips. I closed my eyes, because I could sense Achilles trying to take control which makes my eyes glow.
“Say it again.” I whispered lowering my forehead to hers.
“Say what?” she said breathlessly.
“My name, kitten.”
“Ace.” she whispered I couldn't take it anymore I had to kiss her, I had to taste her lips. I slowly grazed her lips with mine, she didn't push me... I licked her lower lip.
“What's happening here?” she pushed me with a force I didn’t know she had. I didn’t have time to question her strength, I had to turn to see who's the fucker that interrupted us.
“Josh....hum... I...” she was stuttering
“What're you doing here Josh?”
“I came to take Azalea out, what ARE YOU DOING HERE?”
“You're not fucking taking my m.... Azalea out.”
“Says who?” She said from behind
“Says me, you're not going out with him.”
“I can go out with whoever I want.” She was glaring at me.
She pushed past me, to go to Josh, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me.
“TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER.”
“Josh if you value your worthless life, you’d better get the fuck out of here.”
“I fucking claimed her before you Ace, what the fuck dude?”
I felt her trembling in my arms, she pushed me hard and freed herself.
“You what?... You claimed me? Am I a fucking object to you?...... You know what, both of you get out.”
Josh started to exit the room, but I didn't budge.
She raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
“Suit yourself.” and she stormed out of the room.
I followed her, she grabbed some car's keys, and went outside, she jumped Carter's car and drove off.
I followed her action and started my car following her.
