My Human Mate novel Chapter 75

I felt like I was staring into the face of death.

The wolf was resting all it's body weight on me, crushing my shoulders into the solid ground and I felt like gagging from the discusting breath the wolf possessed. The pure black eyes sent waves of emmense fright throughout my body as it glared at me in the eyes, growling lowly under its breath in a threatening way.

It never blinked. Not even once as it held the eye contact with me and I couldn't bring myself to tear my eyes away. Knowing that there was a person carrying out this made me sick to my stomach because it wasn't some mindless animal. It was an actual person who could know better.

"Please," I whispered quietly knowing that with the enhanced hearing the wolf could hear me, but Richard who was still recovering couldn't.

"Please let me go, I'm begging you. My family, Blake, Tanner and Michael my mate. I can't just leave them like this. I haven't even said goodbye." I pleaded to it, desperate to get an escape.

The hard menacing eyes of the wolf slowly softened as I pleaded for my life. As a tear rolled down my check, the wolf turned his head to the side momentarily as if it was swarming with guilt. When our eyes locked again, I could see the regret and could see that it was apologising with his eyes.

I let out a shaky breath and fresh tears rolled down my cheeks not wanting to accept death isn't far, but having to anyways.

I though of my mum and dad who I hadn't spoken to in far to long and who lived in Western Australia, two states away from me. I though of Blake and how he would have arrived home from work a few days ago expecting to see me but I wasn't there, only a small note saying I would be home later, but when later was I wasn't to sure, and now only for me to never actually return.

I though of Emily, Tanner and Blake once again, my three best friends who had been there for me through thick and thin, helping me create some of the best memories in my life.

I though of Reece and Maddie. Even though Reece is a dick, he was still nice and cared about everyone. And Maddie was one of the most thoughtful girls I've ever had the privilege of meeting.

Lenny and Jacob and Sally down at the surf shop popped into my mind, even Lenny's cow of a girlfriend Sarah popped into my mind too. I thought if I ever saw again, I'd punch her straight in the plastic nose of hers and tell her she's not good enough for Lenny because she's a down right bitch.

And last but not least I thought of Michael. The one person who flipped my life upside down. I remembered back to when I hated him when we first met, him freaking me out and making me so scared of him. I remember the moments we shared, the rejection and then the bonding back in the cells as Michael tried to gain back control of his wolf. The second time I ever saw his wolf, here in this yard. How he was so carefree and playfull. And the thing playing most on my mind is when he said he loved me.

I, I opened up mind link and hesitated once starting my nerves getting the better of me.

What is it Love? Michael responded gently.

I'm so sorry Mikey, I should never have rejected you and I should have made the most of this, I croaked to him. I'm so unbelievably sorry for screwing this up on you.

Hey, hey, hey. Alana this isn't your fault, you hear me. I fucked up countless times but look where we are now. Full mates and you need to trust me when I say I'm going to save you.

As he spoke, he didn't sound as agitated as before but the worry was still evident.

Michael, your perfect. I sighed to him meaning every word.

I was a firm believer of the saying "nobody's perfect', but Michael changed my mind completly on that. He may have stuffed quite a fair bit of stuff up, but for every bad thing his done his attempted to make it up to me. The way his so protective used to piss me off but it made him seem adorable to have such a strong feeling towards me and play on it so everybody knows. Even his flaws of snoring, eating like a pig and having the worst sense of humour (or lack of it) made him perfect, because even being perfect means you have flaws and you deal with them. When he desperately pleaded for a second chance at being mates and said he would do anything to make it work, he was so sweet and so set on giving it another go proving he doesn't give up.

And that's what I love about him now that I accepted him with open arms for our second chance.

Alana listen to me, I heard Michael practically command and I complied, liking the soothing sound of his voice compared to the mocking and cruel sound of Richard.

Remember that time when you visited my house for the first time and you didn't want to go to sleep?

I smiled on the inside as I remembered Michael being dead tired and wanting nothing more to sleep, while I was wide awake and bursting with energy.

"You shouldn't have drunk so much creamy soda," Michael groaned, running his hands over his face while in a tired state.

"Come on, it was like 4 glasses." I defended myself.

"Your drank the whole one and a half litre bottle by yourself." He flattly pointed out.

"You could have drank some to, but your scared at what to much sugar does to you." I groaned at him as I poked his stomach secretly loving the feeling on the toned skin beneath my finger.

"Believe it or not Alana, I work hard to get my body. I can't maintain it if I drink a litre of soft drink." He laughed at me.

"Okay then, you can be the fit one in this relationship and I'll be the fat one your going to be forced into loving." I joked with a laugh, probally a bit to loud for 3:49 in the morning.

"More of you for me to take are of then." He replied, not seeming discusted at the thought of me turning fat on him.
