The Delicate Girl Mate novel Chapter 40

"So where's Brett?" I asked her, surprised that her mate wasn't clinging to her.

"He's with your mate as a matter of fact. He said they're all helping him with something."

When she said all of them, I immediately knew it was Jordi, his and my dad, Logan and Ben, Brett, Taylor and Judd. For what, I don't know, but a guys thing I guess.

Now at twenty-one years old, we still lived in the pack house, deciding to be close to everyone by being in the central location of pack grounds.

Ben and Logan have started middle school at twelve years old, being as close as ever. Logan is Ben's protector, which is so cute, but ironic since Logan used to be the more shy one. Now with Ben's speech restriction, he's very shy and keeps to himself, not interacting with anyone other Logan and the "crew" which consisted of everyone with Jordi right now and Kelsey and Lauren. These were the only people he was comfortable with after the... yeah.

Ever since that day, things have been different. I forgave my dad, of course, but not fully. I asked him the questions I needed to, and his answers weren't that great, but he is my dad after all. He had to work for my full forgiveness and he eventually won me over. We were as close as ever. The only thing is Ben. Ben still doesn't fully trust him. Nobody an blame him, really. I, of course, understand fully why he doesn't trust him. I always reassure Ben when my dad is around and he relaxes when I do.

I always helped Ben when he needed it. When he finally recovered, he didn't know how to cope. I was the only one besides Logan and Jordi he would let around him. We stayed with him forever, until he finally felt comfortable around other people. He slowly learned sign language, along with Logan who stayed by him every step of the way. We all learned sign language, for Ben.

"So what are you guys doing tonight Lay?" Lauren asked, rubbing we hand over her large belly.

"Ehh, I don't know. I think Jordi wants to take me to dinner but I'm not sure what we're gonna do."

Kelsey was confused, "What's tonight?"

"Today is our anniversary of when we met." I blushed.

"Aww! That's cute!" Kelsey exclaimed.

"And it's also the perfect time to head on over to that dinner." A voice spoke up from the doorway.

Turning around, I saw Jordi in the doorway, looking ravishing.

"No! I'm not ready!" I freaked out.

"Don't worry, baby, you look amazing. I'm only kidding. I know you want to get dressed up so why don't you go get ready while the girls help you? We leave in two hours."

Me and the girls shot up at this, Lauren taking slower than Kelsey, of course.

"Okay, you're ready."
