Chapter 31
“Oh hey I gotta go, my mom wants me. I’ll talk to ya later.” She said hurriedly.
“Okay, talk to you later.” I replied before hanging up the phone. I rolled off of my bed before grabbing my book bag and pulling out my binder, I had a lot of homework so better get started on it.
A half hour and a few assignments later my mom called me down for dinner. I got up from my chair and jogged down the stairs. When I got into the living room I saw that my parents along with Adrianna and Perrie were already seated and waiting for me. I took a seat next to Perrie and looked at the table. My mom had prepared a delicious looking chicken meal.
“Looks good mom.” I said happily as I grabbed a plate from the center of the table. My mom smiled at me before getting her dinner. I piled my plate up with a bit of everything before digging in. The three adults started a quiet conversation between the three of them and Perrie and I sat quietly by ourselves.
“So Perrie, how did you like your first day at school?” My mom questioned kindly. Perrie raised her head and smiled largely at my mom.
“Oh it was great, I’ve already got quit a few new friends.” She explained. I bitterly thought about how one of her new ‘friends‘ was my mate.
“Celeste?” My mom asked. I snapped my head up and looked at her.
Ya?” I asked. She had a questioningly look on her face and I got the feeling that I had–missed a question.
I asked you of you had any classes with Perrie.” My mom repeated. I didn’t have any classes with Perrie because she’s a senior and I’m a sophomore. “No I don’t, but I think Seth does.” I responded. Mom nodded her head and continued.
“Oh I see.” She replied. An awkward a silence settled over the table before Adrianna decided to speak up.
“So Celeste, have you found your mate yet?” She asked interested. As soon as the words left her mouth my whole body tensed along with my parents. My wolf whined at the thought of our mate and I simply replied with shushing her. I looked up at aunt Adrianna to see that she was giving me a questioning look. I cleared my throat before looking down at my plate.
“Yes I have found my mate.” I said quietly. My parents both sent me worried looks and I smiled reassuringly at them. I raided my head again and looked at Adrianna. She had a smile on her face.
“Oh that’s great! Who’s the lucky young guy?” She asked kindly. I sighed and picked at my nails under the table. I hadn’t told anybody besides my friends and family about what happened with Xander and I definitely didn’t want Perrie to know.
I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. My parents obviously saw my uncomfortable situation and jumped in to help me.
Um it’s kind of an uncomfortable subject to talk about.” Mom said quietly. Aunt Adrianna threw her a confused look before looking back to me.
What do you mean? You said you found your mate.” She asked. I sighed and wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans.
“I did.” I answered back. From the corner of my eye I could see Perrie looking at me questioningly.
“We’ll then, go ahead and tell us about him.” She said cheerfully. I clenched my jaw together, I was starting to get frustrated with her because she obviously didn’t realize that I don’t want to talk about it.
“He’s nothing realy “I began but never got to finish my sentence.
“We’l he’s your mate so he has to be something” She interrupted me. I let out a small growl before blowing up on her.
i dont want me shay! Ya my mate doesn’t want me, that’s all there is to it!” I exploded. The whole table fell silent and you could practically hear a ps drop. I glad balore pushing myself up from my chair
“To” I sad to no one in particular before turning around and running to my bedroom. Once I got to my room I slammed the door behind me. before randing to my bed and betting the rears a fall, because the truth hurt. The truth was that my soul mate, the person that was made entirely for me, didn’t want me and there was nabung I could do about it. I don’t know how long I cried for but I cried until I tell into a dreamless sleep.
The next morning I was awoken to the and of iny alarm clock I groaned and slanuned my fist down onto it. I laid in bed for a fin

savoring the feeling of my bed, before pulling myself up. I slowly walked towards my bathroom, I wasn’t exactly excited to see myself because I was sure I looked a mess, and sure enough when I looked in the mirror I saw a monster.
My previously straightened hair was a rats nest and I had dried mascara lines on my face. My eyes were puffy and red from crying and I had slept in my school clothes. I sighed before running a brush through my hair and stripping out of my dirty clothes. I turned the shower on and waited a few seconds for it to heat up and once it was I stepped into it. My once tensed muscles immediately relaxed and I smiled happily as the warm water hit my body.
