set my mind free

Avalena

As I unlock my room door, I am so happy that I cleaned my room today. I can be a little messy. My mom always encourages me to be a cleaner person. She says that a messy room might reflect poorly on me. She thinks that this means I have a messy life or messy mind. I guess she is right. I do. I am always all over the place, but to my defense, it isn't like dirty, dirty, just messy, but if I am being honest, this way is the only way I know where all of my things are. Plus, Omegas always clean up no matter how clean or dirty the rooms are, they still have to do a quick sweep through. It's their job, so they really help me out.

Now that I know that Cage is my mate though, I will have to force myself to clean more. I have been to the Thomas's house plenty of times growing up, and that family's home is what one would call impeccable. You could probably eat off their floors with how clean it is. Cali's bakery as well. You can tell it is all her. Surely she has cod or something. From what I remember, Rae is the same way. Always picking something up or wiping down a surface. Their home and lives are always spotless. I hope to one day have a family like theirs with Cage. They are the one family on the farm who kept a normal sized house. Maybe that is why Cali can still do everything herself. She didn't even hire extra help. My mom always talks about her amazing bestie who does it all. Owns a bakery, works 12 hours daily, is is still always available for her family. How she cooks daily, bakes and keeps her house clean and how she raised good, sweet kids. She taught her kids to pick up after themselves since they were small, and Mr. Thomas, he helps with everything. He isn't like those men who want their spouse to serve them. I have always seen him help his wife, and I can already tell that Cage is a good man like his dad. Maybe he will help me not have such a cluttered life. He can help me set my mind free. I will worry about that some other time though. For now, I just want to kiss him. His lips are just calling my name.

"Man, there is something about that old lady that is pretty scary," he says as he walks around my room and looks at the pictures hanging all over the place, and all the small trinkets I have decorated my room with. Different items from places all around the world. Places that I have been to throughout my life with my mom. She travels to different packs and hospitals to heal the sickest people in the world. People from all over the place seek my mother out. Mama Lenny also accompanies us most times. I can see why he thinks she is scary, but she isn't that scary when you get to know her. She is actually pretty freaking amazing. The things that witch can do.

"She is just very old and wise. A little weird and misunderstood if anything. She says things that might sound weird and scare people. She is vague and uses fancy words that make what she is saying more complicated than what it even is, but she means well." I tell him. He nods and walks over to me. "F*ck, you are so beautiful, Ava. I know my situation isn't the best right now, but I promise I will do everything in my power for it all to work out. For us to be together. I promise you this is what I want." He grabs my face and leans in and kisses me softly. I feel like I am about to faint. I suddenly feel like I am on fire. I feel hot, so so hot. "It's finally our time, pretty girl. Our mate wants us just as badly as we want him. He is so perfect," she says. I feel sad that he doesn't have a wolf to spend time with her. I feel sad that even if he is my mate, he isn't just going to be all for me. I will have to share him, because he is coming to me with responsibilities that I don't think I will be a part of, but I am here right now and I already love him. I am accepting him as he is. I will love his son and any other baggage he comes with. That's what being a proper mate is about, right? Accepting, understanding, loving and being there for each other. My wolf and I accepted him the moment we laid eyes on him, and we connected to him. I decide to put everything in the back of my mind. Tonight I don't want to think, I just want to feel.

"Don't worry about anything, Ava. We can fix his wolf situation right now. I can change that if he wants. Ask him if he wants you to mark him. He can get his wolf right away. There is no need to wait. He wants us, and we want him. I can feel it. This is inevitable, and is going to happen no matter what," she tells me excitedly. "I don't want to push him. Don't you think we are going too fast?" I ask her, but she shakes her head. "No, we need mate, and he will need us too," she says. With that, I decide not to be shy like I always am. Not that I feel shy with him. Just being next to Cage, I feel so different, beautiful, empowered. The way he is looking at me and kissing me, how he isn't shy to show that he wants me, how he expresses his feelings. I shouldn't feel shy either. I love the way he looks at me. I push him so he is now seated on my bed and I crawl on top of his lap. The way he is devouring my mouth has me tingling all over my body. This already feels so intense and he isn't even a wolf. I can't wait to turn him, and really feel the extreme and intense feeling of our mate bond.

His hands slowly creep down my body until he is cupping my a$$. Suddenly, everything feels real good, and I just let him take over. I relax my body and just enjoy the feeling of my mate.
