Save My Mate novel Chapter 5

I gasped, and my breath hitched my throat. Damn the sparks, damn it all. He obviously heard me, cause he smirked knowing he had an effect on me. Theseus stepped back, head held high and took off all emotion off his face, replacing it with a serious one as he proceeded to speak.

"You're my mate, therefore you're my equal. This is your home and our pack, so you do as you wish." He says. I was, confused. He probably was ruthless, inexorable, cold, and many other things but he's not, not with me. His pack, they also seem to have more respect than fear to him. I nodded, basically telling him I heard.

He took hold of my hand and started walking me towards what looked like to be a living room. A TV, couch, flower vases, anything you would have in a living room. He gently pushed me on the couch to take a seat and pulled up a chair in front of me. He took hold of my hands, putting me at ease.

"I'm going to train you, your so... whatever your pack did to you wasn't good. And I want you to know self defense, for your safety sweet cheeks." he said, biting his bottom lip. I felt my lips tremble as I started sobbing, because of the memories that started flooding my mind. They weren't pleasant ones. In fact, they were when my pack would hit me, punch me, abuse me. How my parents would hit me when Balthazar wasn't home. But then again, I'm glad.

Glad that they're all gone, glad that I finally found my mate. Glad that, its all over. I didn't even notice through my sobs that Theseus had sat next to me. Rubbing soothing circles on my hand as he then picked me up, and sat me on his lap. I kept crying through it all, cuddling into his chest feeling safe, secure, and comfortable. And soon enough, all my sobs had turned into hiccups.

Theseus was holding me close, and at some point, I started feeling drowsy. I hadn't even noticed that Theseus stood up and started walking up a staircase. He entered a room that was filled with his scent. A woodsy scent and I loved it. I could see him pulling down the sheets. Suddenly, I felt the bed mattress. It wasn't like the one I had, this bed was soft, fluffy. It was perfect.

I felt the sheets cover me as I felt Theseus's presence closer. Then, I heard his voice.

"Sleep, my princess." He whispered, and I felt his lips gently touch my forehead. I felt the sparks, sending tingles all over my body. I nodded, and cuddled up to the sheets, letting the darkness consume me. Not before feeling his sweet kiss.

I woke up and looked around my surroundings. There was a clock next to me, signaling the time which was 8:00 A.M. I quickly got up, ready to run when all of a sudden someone grabs me from behind.

I can see his underwear waistband with the words 'Calvin Klein' imprinted on them.

Jesus, I just wish he could...

I turn around, blushing furiously at my negative thoughts. This man totally has an effect on me. I flinched when Theseus cleared his throat, signaling I could turn around.

Theseus nods, now with a solid black v-neck shirt on, and takes my hand, leading me out of the house. We step foot outside, a fresh day. Theseus takes me towards the woods. He leads me to walk for a few minutes until we reach an empty spot. It's a round circle, with no trees. A secluded area, very calming.
