My Unforgivable Mate novel Chapter 71

Going back to school I make it yet another mission to avoid Malic at all costs which comes easy enough, for last period I have gym and Tomas and I decide to set off playing a one on one basketball game. We're not even doing anything so.

"Five, two." I toss the ball back to him fanning myself out.

"Oh shut up," he sits using the ball as a cushion. "I don't know where you got this burst of energy form," the memory of Malic's lips on my cross my head and I find myself looking over at him. He has his back to me talking to one of his beta's.

"Let's go get water," I hold a hand out for him to take, he drags himself up almost tipping me on top of him. "Damn." We walked out and make our way to the water fountain and Tomas helps himself to a couple of sips before I do.

I bend pressing the button activating it and the ponytail of my hair falls in my way, Tomas take it upon himself to hold it up for me. "Thanks," I go back down and take a few gulps.

"I need to talk to you." My heart drops at his words as I meet his eyes. "Nothing bad," he beams, "no tea to spill."

"Then what?" I stand wiping the corner of my lips.

"It's about what you said yesterday," I try replay our conversation. "I wanted you to know that, I'm a willing candidate." I frown, willing candidate? For what? I watch the tiles for a moment letting his words sink in deeper.

Then it hits me, I lift my eyes meeting his, I can't help but smile.

"A willing candidate huh?"

"I've never been shy about how I feel about you," I drop my eyes.

"Is this you shooting your shot?"

"Yes."

"You're a manwhore, no offence." He laughs at my comment throwing his head back a little.

"I'm transparent with you, if you didn't ask such questions, you wouldn't know." I shuffle around rolling form the heels of me feet to the fronts. "I'm honest, I make you laugh, and I'm a gentleman through and through, I wouldn't mind if you obsessed over me a little."

I bark a laugh and he joins dragging it out. "I can not with you."

"I'm being serious here." He chortles.

I let a few days pass torn between the idea of Tomas and letting Malic finally go. I still need to find a way to reject him.

I take myself upstairs and into my mothers room, for once Nathan isn't crying but his little legs are wiggling about and I go to pick him up, "Hey there." His blue orbs open looking at me. "Heyy."

I stay a little distracted by him before my father calls my name and I make my way down to him. "Yes dad," I push the door open and wonder in.

"We have a dinner next Saturday, alpha Vincent invited us to talk over something's." I nod. "I also need to talk to you, come in." I go in a little deeper, taking a seat in a chair opposite him.

"Now, I've never really brought this up because I respect your private life but, what is going on with you and Malic?"

My chest drops. "Nothing."

"I understand if you don't want to talk about it yet-"

"No dad, seriously, nothing is happening between us. I've learned a lot for this whole thing and I'm just so ready to stop hurting." I meet my fathers eyes. "I'm not going back to him, I can't do that."
