A Werewolf'd Past And Present novel Chapter 20

I just nodded, not having any other words to say. Sitting here in a silent room was torture, knowing I put my mate in danger was torture. I sighed and ran my hand over my face. I needed to stop thinking like this.

Max shifted and I sat up straight, squeezing her hand tightly in mine. She started to mumble incoherent words then her eyes snapped open and gasped.

"Werewolves."

I froze. What did she say?

"Werewolves. You're werewolves."

"W-what? How?" I stuttered, utterly confused at how she knew. Well, this helps me a little at least. Hopefully.

Max say up and pressed a palm to her tempt and grimaced. "I've met some before," was her short answer.

"You're... You're not mad?" I asked.

"Why would I be mad?"

"For not telling you?"

"You were probably going to tell me at one point, right?" Max questioned and I immediately nodded.

I smiled and I did something unexpected for the both of us. I leaned in and captured her lips with mine and dominated the kiss, though Max fought for that too. It was the cliche moment where the fireworks went off and everything was perfect in that moment of time. Everything else disappeared and it was just me and Max in this second of time.

I pulled back from the kiss and I rested my forehead against hers. She just smiled with her eyes closed. Max was beautiful in every way.

"Wow," Max breathed.

"Yeah." I smiled as she opened her eyes.

"Is there anything else I should know about you or anyone else?" she asked.

"Uh... there is, but I'm not sure you should know saying as we haven't know each other long...." I really didn't want to rush Max into this life, she seems to already have enough hammering around in her head, I don't want to add anymore stress or pressure.

"I feel like I've known you for years," Max whispered.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"We're mates," I stated bluntly.

"Wait... What?" Max pulled away from me and looked at me confused.

"A mate for a werewolf is like a soul mate. Someone you're supposed to be with fr your whole life after you meet them. It's a gift, and some people don't ever meet their mate," I try to explain.

"Sure, let's go with that." Max smiled.

My mate got up and went over to the fridge and got some strawberries out and sat back at the table. She was to independent and confident, showed no fear and so willing to accept us. She was amazing. So, so, so amazing.

I smiled and sat myself down next to her at the table as we just started bantering with each other.

"Has anyone else found their mate?" Max question as she looks around the table at her newly found friends.

"No, just Logan. You won't know who your mate is until you turn eighteen, and even then you still have to find them," Jacob answered.

"When are your guys' birthdays?"

"In a few months. Hannah, Micah, Kyle, and me all have birthdays the same month. Coincidence?"

A smirk plastered itself on Max's lips as she looked around the table. I could see the wheels turning in her head as she played matchmaker. I just shook my head at her and just smiled.

Too bad I had the guys and me had to leave to catch up on some pack things. The girls, I have no idea what they're going to do, but I just hope it's nothing crazy.

Max's POV-

The guys left and I watched in disappointment as Logan walked out of the room. Geena invited me to tag along to the mall with them, but I declined. I hated the mall. They all seemed disappointed too, but I just wanted to stay here.
