Whitney’s p. o. v
The past few days were a bit awkward and distant for us. I was happy that my mate was honest and open with me but also sad over knowing he had taken a few females to bed.
“Stop it!. He was honest and apologetic over his past actions.” Sia growled furiously.
“I know.” I whispered softly.
I looked up when Leo covered me with his coat.
“It’s cold.” He whispered while he sat down next to me on a huge rock.
Since that day he had opened up to me, he was no longer asking me questions. He was giving me my needed space.
A few times I caught him staring at me with a very sad expression on his face and most times we ate in silence.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered softly.
Everyday he made it his duty to apologize without fail and I brushed him off.
“I know I have no right to touch you as of now, but I’m dying to. Ever since you stopped looking my way or talking to me much, my wolf and I have been lonely.” He said in a low tone.
“Tell him I understand and forgive him.” Sia said seriously.
“I know Sia I have as well, but it makes me so angry knowing that I kept my virginity for him while he did as he pleased with other females!” I exclaimed silently.
“He was young!” She growled angrily.
“So was I, okay!’ I spat back.
“You don’t get to judge our mate over his past mistakes. You too have done things that you are ashamed of, yet if you told him he wouldn’t mock you or get angry. Our mate wouldn’t have accepted us or trusted us seeing how we come from the enemy’s side, but he did without question and that alone should show you what kind of a mate he is.” She growled loudly.
“I know.” I answered honestly.
“If you don’t talk to him with respect or treat him right, I will take over and do it for you.” She warned.
“Fine.” I answered then looked at him. He was watching the sunset with a calm expression on his face.
Sia rarely threatened me over taking over, her doing that showed how attached she really was to him, not that I blamed her, I too felt the same.
“The sunset is truly beautiful.” I said softly.
He quickly looked at me with a stunned expression on his face.
“What, don’t you agree?” I asked calmly.
He smiled softly then nodded.
“It sure is, actually it’s even more beautiful because you are here next to me.” He answered then looked ahead.
I slowly moved my hand and pressed it on his arm gently as I held in my breath. When the tingles spread throughout my body I instantly breathed out.
“Wow.” I whispered softly.
I kind of forgot how amazing it felt to touch him or have him touch me.
He looked at me then smiled softly.
Although his smile was real, his expression was that of pain.
“I’m sorry.” I whispered then tried to move my hand from his arm when he quickly grabbed it and linked it to his.
“You don’t have to be Whitney. I feel very happy having you touch me, yet at the same time bad for being tainted by other females. You don’t have to directly say it because I understand how you feel. You kept your Chastity while I messed up big time, I’m so sorry.” He said sadly.
“He is not tainted.” My wolf whimpered sadly.
“You are not tainted at all, you are still the mate I’m grateful to have.” I whispered then leaned in and stopped an inch away.
“I also missed your touch, Leo.” I said softly then smiled.
He pressed his lips against mine and kissed me tenderly as I responded and kissed him back.
I didn’t know how to kiss because he was my first, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to do my best.
I pulled back and looked him in the eyes happily.
I too wanted to be honest with him about every little thing.
“I have never kissed anyone before.” I said honestly as he chuckled softly.
“I figured.” He answered as I felt embarrassed.
“Was I that bad?” I asked on top of my voice.
“No, you were amazing. I don’t know how exactly but I knew.” He answered with a smile.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” I apologized.
He leaned in and kissed my lips a few times before pulling back.
“You don’t have to be because I’m so happy to be your first.” He said then quickly got up.
I too wasted no time to stand up because I could feel a different aura around us and someone’s presence.
“Whoever you are, come out!” He yelled on top of his voice.
“Now!” I spat loudly.
The leaves rustled loudly then a short slim girl wearing torn clothes came out.
Her long curly hair was dirty and under her eyes were dark circles.
Her feet had mud and her fingers had dirt. Her skin was pale but her beautiful large green eyes stood out.
“I… I’m sorry. I was just picking herbs.” She said in a low cracked voice.
“I don’t trust her.” Leo whispered softly.
“Me too.” I whispered back then took a few steps closer to her as she moved backwards.
“Where are you from and where is your home?” I asked seriously.
She lowered her gaze to the ground for a second then looked up.
“I’m from around here and my home is a few minutes from here.” She answered me.
“Really, then take us there. We would like to speak to an elderly person.” Leo said.
We all noticed how young she looked, but we weren’t going to drop our guards down. The west was where the witch resided, what if the girl was the same witch hiding underneath an illusion of a young girl.
“I can’t do that.” She answered.
“Why not?” I asked.
“Because I stay alone. My mother died a few years ago.” She answered, shocking us.
“Wait, by chance was your mother a witch?” Leo asked as her expression changed.
“How do you know that, who are you?” She asked loudly.
Our answers were the only thing that would either make her run away from us or lower her guard.
“I knew your mother Rosalina, we were once friends in the past.” I lied as her expression softened.
“Mother had no friends.” She said seriously.
“That’s what she wanted you to believe, when in truth she did.” I answered.
She violently shook her head and pointed a finger at us.
“You are lying like those men who had hurt me!. You just want to use me for my powers!” She screamed on top of her voice as the ground began to shake and the tree branches shake.
“You, are you a witch too?” I asked in disbelief.
She quickly turned and ran away without replying.
“Damn it.” Leo spat then ran after her as I followed behind.

Note : I’m kind of using the word female / females, because Leo has been to bed with other supernatural beings. Not only human’s.
If he had been with only female humans, I would have used the word women or woman.
