Angelina Knight:
“Angie...Oh my God, Angie. You are awake. I can't believe my eyes. You are awake. The love of my life is alive. I love you. I love you.....I love you so much.” Before any of my family members could reply to my question, my best friend Angelo entered and picked me up in his arms and spun me around.
“I missed you, Angie. I missed you so much.” Angelo said, hugged me tightly to him and cried
“Don't ever leave me again.” Angelo said, not feeling comfortable.
“I miss you too and love you too, but only in a friend sense and I really hope you were just kidding because I know my mate is out there somewhere and I need to find him.” I replied and then saw everyone's faces tightened after what I just said.
“What happened to all of your faces all of a sudden when I mentioned mate?” I ask.
“Because, my daughter. Angelo is your mate.” My mom announced, taking me by surprise. I pulled back from Angelo instantly like I have been hit by a rumble of thunder and a bolt of lightning that will burn me down.
“No, it can't be. You are kidding, right? You are kidding mom. I know you are kidding. No, I am sure I will feel some connection or bond with him, but, I don't feel anything. He is not my mate. He can't be my mate. I know my mate is out there somewhere and searching for me.” I reasoned or more like yelled then looked at Angelo.
“You can't be my mate. You are my best friend and like a brother to me. I don't feel any sparks with you. I want to feel the sparks I felt today when I saw that little boy and his father at my secret spot. And, I don't know why I called him Jared. I feel like I know him very well and have been with him.” I said, not believing all of this.
“Angel, you just woke up from a spelled coma, so your senses are not working well. Angelo is your mate and he will keep you happy. There is no better mate for you than Angelo and I don't know which man you are talking about? We don't know any man named Jared and there was no one at the secret spot.” My dad explained cupping my face.
“Yes, troublemaker. There was no one. It must be an illusion or something.” Zediab joined dad.
“Shut it, Zed. I can feel you are lying. You guys don't want to tell me, then fine. I won't ask. I will just move on and as for you, Angelo. I love you as a brother and best friend only, so don't get your hopes up. I know you are not my mate. My wolf and I are not that weak that we can't feel our mate's presence, besides how can you be my mate when you already had one. The one you killed because she was a bitch and I am as sure as hell I can't be your second chance mate. I, Angelina Knight can't be someone's second.” I snapped.
“Angelo, can't we be just like friends like we are?” I asked.
“I know you need time so I will give you that and yes, we can be like we are. Best friends. Angelo and Angelina the masters of trouble.” Angelo replied, ruffling my hair with a forced smile.
“Now, go and shower. I am sure you need it and get some rest because after that we are going clubbing.” Angelo said, shocking me.
“We are?!” I asked, my mood instantly lightened up because clubbing and I are the best matches.
“Yes, just you and me.” Angelo replied, chuckled and then looked at my family.
“No one needs to follow her, I can take care of her very well.” Angelo said, sounding sure of himself.
