She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 61

"I-I'm not upset." I continued to sob.

"Devina, it's okay I under-" I shook my head again and laughed, tears still falling down my face.

"I love you too. So much." When I didn't stop crying Zane frowned again.

"Sunshine, what's wrong?" My face heated up and I looked away. "Devina?" He slowly asked. "Are you-" My eyes widened and he just smiled. "Come on."

"What?" I asked as he pulled me towards the door.

"I'll take you to the store." I smiled and nodded.

"Let me get dressed first."

Once I was down getting ready, Zane opened the passenger seat to his GTR and helped me get in. Once in the car, I looked over at him.

"I love you." He snapped his head over to me and grinned.

"I love you too." The words felt foreign, but definitely not wrong. "So much." He added as we finally pulled up to the little store. He jumped out of the car, and before I could even open mine he did it for me. I giggled and pecked his cheek. "Nuh-uh." He narrowed his eyes and held me in place. "That's the third time you've kissed my cheek." My cheeks reddened again as I leaned in to kiss him. He caught my lips and responded right away.

"People are looking." I pointed out as I pulled away.

"I don't care." He grumbled trying to kiss me again but I leaned back.

"I do. Let's go." I laughed and grabbed his hand. He just rolled his eyes and lead me into the store.

We got a lot of things, mostly chocolate and vegetables, because Zane said they'd help. I smiled at that. He really does care. We also got ice cream and some other things. And of course, pads.

~Zane's POV~

When she said it back, I couldn't believe it. I still can't. I looked over at Devina sleeping peacefully on the passenger side of my car and wondered. How did I get so lucky? I know that sounds cliche and cheesy but I'm serious. She's perfect for me. I slowly pulled into the driveway and smiled down at her. Pushing some hair out of her face, she started to stir.

"Zane?" She groggily asked. I opened the door then went around to her side.

"I'm right here Sunshine." I softly spoke as I lifted her up onto my arms. She instantly hurried her head into my chest and breathed in deep. "Do I smell good?" I laughed.

"Yeah. Actually, you do." She hopped down from my arms and helped me put some of the things we got away.

"Are you sure?" I closed my eyes and nodded. "No please look at me. I want to see your eyes when I do this." I nodded again and opened them back up. "Are you sure?" He asked one more time.

"Yes. I made up my mind." Was the last thing I said before I lost my virginity to Zane.

"Are you okay?" He rolled over onto his stomach and looked at me. I opened my mouth, then nodded. Leaning in, I kissed him again. I flopped back down on the bed and furrowed my brows. "I-I feel," I couldn't describe what it was but I felt different. I could smell Zane's scent better and when he touched me, huge sparks danced on my skin.

"I know. It's the mate bond." He smiled and kissed down my neck. "I love you, Devina."

~Devina's POV~

I would be lying if I said I felt closer to Zane now. I don't just feel closer. I feel like we are one. The next morning I woke up and smiled. Rolling over my smile turned upside down as I realized Zane wasn't there.

"Zane?" He hurried out of the bathroom and walked over to my side of the bed.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" I shrugged.

"It hurts a little." I honestly replied and Zane frowned, scooped me up into his arms.
