Rejected Mate novel Chapter 19

"you what?" I question in disbelief; I so didn't just hear what I thought I heard.

"because I love you goddamnit, you wanted to know yesterday why I have changed in every aspect it's because of you, my wolf was the one who bought yours out, it has been you since the day I saw you in the hospital room after saving bens sister when I saw your mates good for nothing friends beating you up it was you. When you were kidnapped, I was struggling to get through life without you because I am in love with you. I wouldn't say I like it; I should be living in pain because my mate died. I couldn't save her, I shouldn't love you, and I have been fighting it for so bloody long. It was working until my wolf decided to bring your wolf out and now I can't fight it anymore, they have claimed each other as mates, and because of that and sucking at blocking my wolf out I can't stay away from you" he growls out before collapsing onto his bed.

"I'm just going to leave you two alone" ben states backing away.

'is this true' i question summer only to get a nod in reply.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner" I question making him turn to me

"I didn't want to fall in love with you because I was scared to get hurt, you wanted to leave when your wolf came back, and I knew my feelings wouldn't change anything, yesterday you were going to leave, and I was crying in my office, and it wasn't until ben laid it out in front of me that I realized I couldn't let you go, you actually stayed, and I don't want to lose you after I lost her.

"I don't know what to say" is all I can manage to get out.

"then say you will go on a date with me? we won't even sleep together just go on a date with me tomorrow, and if you can face being with me a long time and are willing to allow our wolves to be mates we will call the moon goddess the next day to make us mates" he rushes out

"I don't-" I start to say only to be cut off.

"please, one date. if you can't stand it then I won't push it any further" he begs moving onto his knees in front of me

"fine one date, but no randomly kissing me, jumping in my bed at night and no sex" I growl making him jump to his feet before throwing his fist into the air in victory.
