GoodReadChpater 76 "Night". I smiled.
Turning off the light I got into bed. I hoped he got my message and I hoped he would come.
An hour had passed and I was struggling to keep my eyes open. He didn't show and I still hadn't heard from him. Turning off my TV I pulled the covers up and around my neck. Just as I was getting comfortable and about to let sleep take over I heard it. The light tapping on the window.
Тар And again.
Pushing the covers off I walked towards my window pulling open my padoor. "Seriously you couldn't just use the front door?". I sighed.
"Didn't think you'd letin". He shrugged.
"So you didn't get my text then". Nodding my head I realised he was only in shorts. He didn't even have shoes on.
"Don't take it withwhen I run. Can I cup?".

"Beats walking up the stairs". He smirked.
Rolling my eyes I made my way back to bed. Pulling the covers back over my body I watched as he closed the padoor.
"Why don't you have any shoes on?". I yawned. "Or a T-shirt in fact why are you just in shorts. It's freezing outside".
"Benefits of being a werewolf babe".
"If you say so". I yawned again. Was he going to get into bed or just stand there? "Babe about tonight-..." "Are you getting in?".
"Letsay this first". He sighed. I felt the bed dip where my feet lay. "I freaked out tonight because when a male werewolf finds his mate, when we imprint we-..". He stopped talking makingsit up. "Jake?".
"To complete the mating bond we-.. I have to bite you on the neck".
"Is that why you blew up over the love bite?". I whispered my hand finding his.
"Pete skipped everything and jumped straight in". He laughed but I knew he was being sarcastic.
"But he didn't bite her". I said.
"He hasn't bit her yet". He sighed.
Wait what was he saying? "No". I gasped.
"Afraid so babe".
She was Pete's mate.
I didn't know what to say. I wasn't even sure if Lana planned on staying or if she was only here for a short visit. Falling back against my pillows I sighed. "We're not the sLana and I. She doesn't do relationships Jake and-..." I stopped talking. "She won't be able to resist the bond Leah".
"Like I couldn't". Patting the space besideI grinned when he pulled the cover back and got in. "I'm just saying she's a hard nut".
"Pretty sure he'll be able to crack her". He laughed.

"When do you-.. when does the bite happen?". I asked.
"Don't worry about that just now. Try and get ssleep".
"Should I worry about it?". I wasn't worried about it until he said that. Would it hurt? What would it feel like? "Your heartbeats spiked calm down". He whispered placing his hand against my hip. "All in good time. We're taking it slow remember".
There was so much I didn't know. What did it actually mean to be his mate? What would I have to do? How was I going to feel? "Princess". He growled.
"You have to tellJake. I don't e know anything about this. You can't just say something and then fellnot to worry. I need to know things, you can't keepin the dark". I wasn't panicking but I could hear my own heart beating. "And I will babe-..." "Then tell me". I yelled cutting him off.
"We have sex, I'll bite you just as you're about to cand then you'll go into heat for at least 5 days".
Swallowing the lump in my throat I wished I hadn't pushed him to tell me. My head was spinning with questions. Squeezing my eyes shut I calmed my breathing. "I'm going to go to sleep now". He was right, all in good time. Turning onto my side I faced away from him, his arm slipping from my body. His answer was short and sweet and I wasn't going to lie I was shitting myself for what was to come.
I thought having him here would make it easier to fall asleep but not tonight. We had been lying in bed for the last half hour not a word spoken between us. I couldn't shut my mind off.
"Chere". His voice was low, groggy. He was tired but I knew he was fighting it because was still awake. Sighing he slipped an arm underand pulledto him. "You'll sleep now". He muttered burying his head in my hair. He was right I was out in a matter of minutes.
