Capítulo 19: Mate Bond
Ari has been running to Red Rivers almost every day! He's gone more than he's here and when he's here his head is not. I miss him even more. Stupid Mates ruin everything! Now all of the sudden hes been here for almost a week and he's going crazy without her.
"Ari." I say as I enter his office.
"What?!" He yells and I shut up quick.
"S...sorry Alpha." I stammer. I hate when Ati is mad.
"Hay, no. I'm sorry Bray... I'm a little on edge it's not your fault." He tells me.
"A little?" I ask trying to remove the tension.
"Well maybe a lot... I miss Lilly." I really feel for the guy. I'm starting to think mates aren't a good thing.
"Why are we cursed with mates if all they bring is pain? If she's gonna torture me like this I don't want my mate. I'll just reject her and move on with my life. I mean seriously look at you!" I ramble. Ari sighs and stands up.
"Let's take a walk pup." He says. We head outside and end up in his favorite escape. The hedge maze in the garden.
"You know this is where I met Lilly... another male had her pinned against the wall. I nearly killed the guy." He says. Another reason not to have a mate uncontrollabl rage. "She calmed me... and then she scared the crap out of him. She is so strong. Put me in my place too. You know she can shake off an Alpha comand?"
"No I didn't... why are you telling me all this?" I ask.
"Brayden, all you've seen is me without her and it scares you." He says. I start to argue but he cuts me off. "You are scared of me I can see it in your face. I don't want that. You know I'd tear apart the world if you went missing too. You're family and now Lilly is family. I miss her. Kinda like how you've been missing me I'd guess."
"Yea... you kinda ditched me... I miss you Ari but all you care about is her." I tell him.
"Listen." He says turning to face me as we reach the center of the maze. "I will never leave you. You're my pup and my brother. I love you Brey and that's not something I freely admit to many people. Lilly is my mate and I'm gonna spend alot of time with her but I will always make time for you... and we still have Alpha training to look forward to."
"I'm still not sure mates are worth it it." I mumble.
"They are beyond worth it Brayden. You knew me before and you've seen me with Lilly... do you notice a difference?" He asks.
"You smile a lot around her." I answer.
"Anything else?" He pushes.
"Well... I mean yea... you seem to relax around her... you kinda chill. Its almost like she takes a weight off your shoulders." I explain as he nods.
"She does. She provides balance to me that I didn't realize I needed. She makes me better. Mates complete us. You will realize that when you meet yours and you'll never want to let her go." He tells me.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see." I say.
"You still got a little over four years until you can find her... just remember mates are a blessing. Love and cherish her always... promise me you won't reject her right away. Give her at least a month. Get to know her. You may be surprised." I mean I guess he has a point. Having a mate cant be all bad.
"Yea Ari, I promise." I say and he smiles and gives me a hug.
"You won't regret it."
After our walk Ari went back to normal. I guess just talking about his mate put him in a better mood. He is still somewhat temperamental but I think as soon as he can see Lilly again he will be happy. I want that for him. It's been a week sence the last time he ran over to red rivers.
"Hi Ari." I greet him as I enter his office. Hes been letting me help with his paperwork. It's not exactly fun any more but it is Alpha training so I'll take what I can get. Even if he's just using me to get it done. "Bye Ari?" I say as he stormed past me and out the door. A second later Clay comes into the office.
"What was that about?" I ask him.
"Aaron linked me. He said to tell you he's sorry for running out but he finally got the go ahead to go back to Red Rivers." Clay tells me.
"About time! I thought he was gonna snap. Why couldn't he go anyway?" I ask.
"He upset Alpha Mason. Kept her out late. It was kinda punishment for both of them." He answers.
"Well if the Red Rivers ban has been lifted I'm gonna head over too. I wanna hang out with the guys over ther and then maybe I'll get to see Lilly once her and Ari are done with what ever they are gonna do." I say.
"Alright but find EV as soon as you get there and have her link me so I know you're okay." Clay says.
"Sure thing, boss man!" I give him a salute and run out the door.
I shift and run straight for the border. As I approach I smell something off.
