HER HUMAN MATE - FINAL EPISODE 30

????????????????????’???? ????????????

4 Years ????????????????????

“Do you want me to go with you this time?” Anita asked as I fixed my tie in the mirror.

“You have a meeting with Henry and your father” I muttered.

“Not till later this afternoon,” she said.

“I can go by myself. I prefer it actually” I replied.

“Okay. I just thought this year might be different” she hummed.

I sighed before turning around to look at her. She looked beautiful and it made me proud to know she was my mate…

“It isn’t. It won’t ever be. You can’t come with me.

I’m sorry but, that is how it has to be” I breathed.

Anita’s eyes flashed florescent green telling me she was angry at my defiance but, she didn’t say anything else on the subject.

“Alright,” she murmured leaving our bedroom.

Grabbing my keys, I headed downstairs. I was about to walk out the door when I heard the patter of small feet behind me.

Smiling I turned around picked up my son before he ran into my legs.

”
Daddy!” Joseph giggled.

“Good morning. I will be back, okay? Love you” I spoke kissing his forehead.

Going to place him on the floor, he quickly began to cry.

It happened every time either I or Anita tried to leave the house without him. The 3-year-old was a little spoiled.

“Here, I’ll take him” Anita muttered coming over. She took Jo out my arms and cradled him against her chest.

I rubbed his head trying to console him and eventually, he calmed down.

“I’ll be back” I sighed kissing her cheek.

“Yeah this time before midnight would be nice” she stated rolling her eyes.

“I’ll try” I muttered.

I knew she was just worried about me and wanted to be there.

She didn’t understand though. This was my thing, one I had to deal with on my own.

I preferred it that way under the circumstances.

Getting in my car, I started it and began the drive.

It took about half an hour to reach my destination before I parked and got out.

Slowly, I made my way across the field before I reached the tombstone that had my best friends name on it.

There were fresh roses from her parents who must have visited earlier. I placed the yellow lilies next to them.

“Happy Birthday, Rose” I sighed touching the giant marble stone.

Her picture was on the front. A perfect snapshot of her smile and the inner beauty she rarely let anyone see.

“So, Joseph is 3 years old. He’s getting so big. You knew me better than anyone so, you know I’ve never pictured this as my life.

I was closed off to everything and everyone. I never pictured myself letting someone in and becoming a husband or a dad.

Though now that I am, I can’t help but, think this was all meant to happen” I muttered taking sitting down on the grass.

It was always so quiet when I came here. I guess because everyone was dead but, I was put at ease in this place.

It provided me with the sense that Rose was at peace.

Like she was looking down and watching over me.

“I miss you. I miss my best friend. I wish things could have been different.

That your story didn’t have to end so early. I didn’t know you as a hunter.

Only as the girl that forced me to become her friend and never once made me regret that choice.

I forgave Anita a long time ago. I love her you know.

She is…everything to me but, I’ll never forget you” I said before standing up.

Taking one last glance at Rose’s picture I headed back to my car.

Getting in, I began to drive home. I didn’t want to worry Anita.

Since I was human, she was constantly on edge about my safety.

It was sweet but, kind of annoying sometimes. I could take care of myself.

When I pulled up to the packhouse, I went inside.

Everyone greeted me with smiles and waves. They were very accepting of Anita having me as a mate.

At first, I wasn’t very open to the pack. I didn’t do well with new people and crowds so, it took me a while to warm up to them.

Now it’s like having a huge family, with people who could turn into giant dogs.

When I stepped into my mates’ office she was leaning up against the window.

She seemed to be in her own world so, I came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

It got her attention and she turned around to look at me.

Are you still mad at me?” I asked.

“I was never mad Kelly. Just hurt” Anita breathed.

“I’m sorry,” I said letting her go.

“You don’t need to apologize. I understand. She will always be a touchy subject but every time this day comes around your not yourself.

I just want to be there for you” Anita hummed touching my face.

“You are. Every day you are but, this is a day I just need to deal with myself. I’m not as fragile as you believe” I spoke.

“I know. I love you” she mumbled before hugging me.

“I love you too. Always” I replied.

Smiling, I allowed her to hold me because I know she needed it.

I was in love with a strong woman. One that dominated any room she was.

I loved her and most times that meant putting aside my feelings and letting her be the protector she was born to be.

She would always be an Alpha and I would always be her human mate.

THE END!!!!
