Samantha’s POV
I watched, staring into the blank space for a moment. Lauren was James mate?! That was even more shocking that anything else?! Lauren for all I know was not someone so easy? I just hope things go well.
“Okay, now things are getting really tough, do you thank that Lauren would back off easily?” Cara asked me.
“We both know the answer to that Cara.” I replied her.
“Yeah, the answer is a big no.”
“Do not worry about it, it does not matter. What matters is that you are the one James love, you are the one who is with his heart and not Lauren.” I said to her, in an attempt to console her.
“Samantha, how…. How strong is the bind between mates?” She asked and I sighed softly.
“The bond can be very strong but… But it’s still not strong enough to the point that it can’t be broken. There are several wolves out there living with someone other than their mates, the attraction and bond might be there but without love between the mates, it is just much more better to reject the mate and James does not love Lauren so he is definitely going to reject her.” I said to her.
“How… How can we be sure? When I got to the bar, they were both involved in a steamy session of kissing.” she replied me as tears blinded her vision once more.
I gulped down as I didn’t know what to say. Was James really going to give up on Cassie? How could he have kissed Lauren?
“You know what Cassie…. I am going to go see James.” I said and made to stand up but she held my hand.
“There… There’s no need for you to do so, he… He is still sleeping at this moment.” she said to me, stopping me from leaving.
I hesitated for a moment before finally taking the seat beside her once more and hugging her.
She continued to sob while I said nothing, did nothing other than patting her and telling her occasionally that all was going to be just fine, I did this till she eventually went to sleep.
I laid her on the bed properly and watched her swollen face for a moment before letting out a small sigh.
I tucked her into bed and covered her up properly. I placed a bottle of water beside her and some pain relievers, she might be in need of some when she wakes up, she would definitely feel pains and headache due to what she had gone through.
I walked out of the room after making sure that everything was at least a bit okay. I walked off to Kayden’s room, he did not go out at all through the entire day, I knew that he was just trying to show me that he cared a lot and was willing to stay with me for as long as I wanted.
I knocked on the door.
“Come in darling.” his voice said and I pushed open the door, I stepped into the room and his scent hit me.
I took in his beautiful scent with a smile and walked towards me, he was seated behind his study table and I could tell that he was dealing with some issues.
“You can continue with whatever you are doing, I will be sleeping.” I said to him, moving towards the bed but he swiftly pulled me back and made me fall to his laps.
“Continue with what?” He asked.
“With what you were doing… I understand that you are busy with important things so I would not….” He placed his index finger on my lips, shutting me up.
“There is nothing that is more important than you to me, you are the most important thing to me in this world so when you are with me, every other thing can wait because I am holding my world in my hands.” he said to me sweetly and I could not help it but blush.
“So adorable.” he mumbled and pulled my cheeks making me pout playfully.
“So I would be saying at this moment that I am done with what I am doing.” he said, shoving everything on his table backwards and placing me on the table
He carried me up and placed me on the table, he came in and stood between my legs, he smiled sweetly at me and moved closer to kiss me but I looked away, taking my lips away from his.
“Hey, what are you doing? Those lips are mine.” he grumbled.
“I never transfered the ownership to you.” I replied him.
“But I already took over.” he replied, held onto my face and turned me to face him, he placed his lips on mine and I struggled playfully for a moment.
He pulled back with a confused pout on his face.
“Is there anything wrong?” He asked.
“There’s only one thing wrong and that is…. You just broke the kiss.” I replied him and he chuckled, throwing his head backwards for a moment.
I cupped his face and pulled his face to me, I kissed him deeply and he reciprocated the kiss too with a much greater ferocity. His hands immediately roamed around my body making me let out a soft moan.
He slowly lifted me up from the table while his lips was still entangled with mine sweetly. He pulled the both of us towards the bed and we both fell to it.
I smiled as I watched his pull off his shirt, he moved closer to me after pulling off his shirt.
“But….” I mumbled and sighed.
“What’s wrong?” He groaned, still kissing me over but I could no longer concentrate on the kisses as I had remembered what Cassie told me.
“What’s up?” He asked, breaking the kiss for a moment and staring at my face, as if he was searching for the answers in my eyes.
I sighed softly and sat up.
I could hear him silently grumble and groan before he pulled back from me and say on the bed too.
“You want to tell me something that can’t wait?” He asked me, like he was telling me that I could postpone whatever I had to say to him.
“The thing is Lauren is James mate.”
