“Gamma, finding one’s mate has nothing to do with their age, and you know that,” Mr. Williams said from the kitchen counter. I looked to see what he was doing, and he looked like he was slicing deli meat.
“I know, but still, it’s rare to see a ranked pair so far apart in age,” Milan said. I kind of slumped in my seat unsure of how to respond to that.
“I like that she’s younger than me,” I heard a soothing voice say. I looked up and saw Wyatt enter the kitchen. He smiled and walked right over to me. “How was the tour, baby?”
“It was long,” I replied. “I need a map of the castle, I’m going to get lost,” Wyatt chuckled at my statement.
“You get used to it; besides, you won’t be alone. Milan here will escort you anywhere you want to go until you are able to get around yourself,”
“That’s right, it’s going to be you and I tied to the hip,” she says with a big smile.
“Is there anywhere in the castle that I’m not allowed to go?” I asked. Milan looks at me funny and then back at Wyatt.
“Baby, I don’t run my pack the way Eric does. You’re free to go wherever you please,” I smiled at his response. “With that being said, you are not allowed to go outside of the castle without Milan, Jason, Kendrick, or myself, is that understood?” “Yes, I honestly don’t think I’m ready to go outside just yet. The territory is massive,”
“When you are, I will gladly take you on a tour of the territory. We can even go out onto the lake with my boat,” I smiled and nodded. “Anyway, if you’re done with your snack, I’d like you to come my office,”
“Sure,” I grab the plate and place it in the sink. I turn on the water to clean it, but Mrs. Williams stops me.
“Go on Rylee, I got it from here,”
“Okay, thank you,” Wyatt takes my hand and interlocks our fingers. I can’t help but blush from how nice it felt, but I was a little uncomfortable at the same time. Wyatt has been showing a lot of affection, and I don’t know how to respond to it. I was surprised when we almost kissed in the guestroom at Halfmoon, I honestly couldn’t believe that I had dropped my guard that easily with him. Stupid mate bond.
Oh please, you wanted him to kiss you.
Shut it, Kaleigh.
Stop denying it, Rylee. You like him. Hell, you borderline love him.
I do not.
Do to.
Do not.
Do to. Who are you trying to lie to hmm? Me? Yourself? Either way, it doesn’t matter. We share the same mind and body remember. I feel what you feel, and you want him.
I snub her away and bite my cheek. I hated sharing my mind and my feelings with another soul. Who came up with this crap for werewolves anyway? Wyatt led me to his office on the fifth floor, and I was completely breathless, and my legs were burning, “I’m sorry, love, we should have taken the elevator,”
“There’s an elevator!?” I gawked at him. “You could have said that sooner!” I shouted and slumped in the nearest chair I could find catching my breath.
“Well, you seemed to do okay at Halfmoon,”
“Wyatt, one floor here it two floors there. I essentially just walked up, what is that two, four, six…Ten flights of stairs!” he sat there and laughed at me. I took a few minutes to catch my breath and finally was able to think again. “What did you want to talk to me about?”
“I need to come clean about something,” oh god, he doesn’t love me. He’s going to reject me. I knew it, this was all too good to be true. I was going to be rejected again, only this time, this was going to hurt even more because I actually care about Wyatt. I couldn’t help the tears forming in my eyes. “Rylee, why are you crying?”
“You’re going to reject me, aren’t you?”
“WHAT?! NO! Baby, I’m not going to reject you! Why would you think that?” he jumped out of his seat and pulled me out of mine, engulfing me in a hug. “Dearest, don’t ever think that I will never reject you,” he said as he cradled my head.
“But, you said you needed to come clean about something, I thought you were going to tell me that you didn’t actually love me,”
“No, goddess no, Rylee, please don’t ever think that again. I told you…” he pulled away and cupped my cheeks, “…I would die from heartbreak if I lost you,” I pouted and avoided looking him in the eyes. “Get that s**t out of your head, you’re not going anywhere, and you’re not getting rid of me that easily,” he said and pulled me into another hug. We stood there a minute before I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist.
“If you’re not rejecting me, then what did you need to tell me,”
“That you and I have met before,” I pulled away from and looked at him furrowing my brows. “We met when you were only ten, right before Eric killed your pack,” “What are you talking about?”
“Do you remember this?” he asks and hands me a photo off of his desk. I look at it, and I see my parents, Wyatt’s dad, a younger version of Wyatt, and me, in Wyatt’s arms, kissing his cheek. I looked up at Wyatt and then back at the picture.
“I know that’s me, and my family, and you and your dad, but I don’t remember taking this photo,”
“Rylee, do you remember telling a boy that you wanted to keep him?” I looked at Wyatt like he was crazy. I thought really hard,
‘Can I keep you?’
‘When you’re big and strong, I’ll come back and you can keep me then,’
‘Forever?’
‘Forever,’
I looked at Wyatt and studied his face. I looked back at the photo and thought back.
“Prince Charming,” I whisper.
“What did you say?” Wyatt asked with an excited.
“Prince Charming,” I say again while looking straight at him. “Oh my god, you’re Prince Charming,”
“Yeah, you called me that the entire weekend we were visiting you,”
