Midnight Visitor

9. Meeting Mate.

I do not hesitate to jog and jump up those stairs two at a time and rushing to the door. Without a second thought I burst inside ripping the door frame with me. I know my energy is flowing everywhere but I can not hold Melody back. The smell fills my nose and I take a deep breath through my nose filling my lungs with this intoxicating smell. I see a man jump up from the couch in front of the tv by the door but that is not him. I hear some rumbling so I look from the man to the woman and teenage girl in the kitchen. I start walking closer to them because by the kitchen are stairs to the other floor and I can feel that he is there. 

“Hey you! What the hell do you think you are doing here?!” the older man yells at me. 

I look at him and Melody comes to the surface and he submits right away exposing his neck to us. I look at the girls again but they just cower away from me so I start to walk again to the stairs but then this perfect voice fills the air. 

“What the hell is happening? What is this noise?” 

Does he not smell me?

Then I see him walking down the stairs and my throat closes up and my mind goes blank. He is perfect, he is the hottest and most handsome man I have ever seen in my life. 

“Mate” 

I say as I close the distance between us and bring my lips against his. I hear gasps around us but I could not think about anything else but the sparks flying all over my lips and hands. I have my hands on his face holding him close to me, I will never need to breathe again, I will never need anything else again. I will forever just need him and his touch, kisses and attention. 

Then my moment is shattered when he pushes me away and runs the back of his hand over his mouth. I fumble back and almost land on my ass from this sudden push.

“WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU DOING YOU PSYHO?” 

He fixes the glasses on his nose and runs his hand through his dirty blonde hair but the look in his eyes is breaking my heart. 

“You can not just break in here and then sexually harass me!” 

I feel tears fill my eyes. Melody is howling inside me and I just feel like the s**t.

“Jaxon! She said you were her mate! Don't you feel the bond?” the woman in the kitchen yells at him.

I am guessing this is his mother. My world is breaking, why is my mate not taking me in his strong arms. He is wearing light gray suit pants, a white shirt and a light gray vest to match the pants. He is filling the shirt very nicely out, he does not look super strong like Sebastian and Fredrick but he looks like he could hold his own. His jawline is sharp but he has small lips that are almost like lines now out of anger. His nose is perfect and his small brown eyes make me want to look into them for the rest of my life. Now that I am looking at him he looks a little like superman when he is dressed like Clark Kent. 

“Stay out of this mom!” he orders. 

“Mate please” I beg. 

He looks back to me but there is this disgust in his eyes. 

“You come in here, you break the door, you scare the life out of my family, you force yourself on me without even letting me understand the situation and you want me to just take you in my arms like nothing?” 

Each word is like a dagger in my heart, I feel tears start to fall down my face. 

“I can also just see by the look on my parents that you have some authority, what are you a betas spoiled little daughter? A rich alphas daughter that gave you everything that you wanted just by snapping your fingers?” 

“JAXON!” Now his father snaps at him.

Jaxon, what a wonderful name. I am crying now and I Melody has whimpered away. 

“No dad! No, don't defend her! She needs to speak up on her own! She thinks she can just do whatever the hell she wants! I mean if the roles were reversed then this would be s****l harassment but because I am the man I am just supposed to enjoy it? Why because a matebond tells me too?” 

I cross my arms over my chest and hold myself while I feel like he is ripping my heart to pieces and then stomping on it. 

“I am sorry, I didn't mean to go over your boundaries, my wolf was just so happy to see you and I could not control her”

That makes him look at me again. 

“If you can not control your wolf then you are just some wild beast and should not be around people” 

That makes his father step between us and go head to head with his son. 

“I think that is enough from you, son. Go back up to your room and I will take your mate home” 

There is silence between them so I use the opportunity. 

“My name is Ariel” 

His mother comes on my other side and takes my hand, her hand is so warm and soft unlike my manly hands. 

“That is a beautiful name dear, I am Abby, I am Jaxons mother” 

Jaxon takes one more look over his fathers shoulder but then he scoffs and starts walking away from us up the stairs but then we hear yelling outside. That is Sebastian's voice! He can not see me crying like this! He will kill them all. I quickly try my face with the sleeve of my jacket. 

“Ariel!” 

“ARIEL!” 

His huge ass figure is then all of a sudden standing in the doorway looking around and assessing the situation. 

“You see Dad, she did not even need you to take her home, her empty headed bodyguard is here” Jaxon says from the stairs leaning on the wall. 

I look at him with wide eyes and I feel the tears start to fill them again. 

“Ariel what are you doing here?” Sebastian asks.

I look at him and I can see the anger flare up in his eyes by that comment but he is choosing to ignore it. 

“Nothing, I thought there was something but I guess I was wrong” I say with a very sad emotionless voice. 

Sebastian walks over to me and put one of his hands on my shoulder and I walk with him outside. I feel his family follow me and while we are standing in the doorway I look back at them. 

“I am so sorry about tonight and I will make sure someone will come and fix the door” 

I see both of them smile at me and Abby leans on her husband. 

“Don't you worry bout a thing Ariel, Stan here will fix it or we will make our pig headed son fix it” 

I flinch a little thinking about him fixing the door and thinking even worse about me than he already thinks about me. We walk down the three steps and out of the little yard and into the street. Sebastian keeps his hand on my shoulder and I have this overwhelming feeling when we are out of sight from the house to hug him. I stop and I wrap my arms around his rock hard abs and back. 

“Ariel what the hell?” he asks, not sure what to do. 

I smile a little, yes he is right we don't really do this. We did not do this even when father was living, I did not really hug my family. Well I did hug my mother often but that is only because she wanted the hugs not necessarily me. 

“I found my mate” 

He pulls me away and looks right in my eyes crunching down a little. 

“WHAT? Really?” 

“Yes, his name is Jaxon but he might just have rejected me” 

“What do you mean?”

“I kissed him without his permission and he he he” I lost my voice and looked down. 

Sebastian straightened up and takes a deep breath. He puts his hand under my chin and makes me look at him. He looks so much like Dad.

“You are not going to cry about this, You are Alpha of the Blood Howlers and he did not reject you yet. There is always tomorrow. The matebond might be there but you have to grow the love” 

That really made me smile. 

“That is beautiful, did you just think of that you pea brain?” 

He smiles a little and the smile looks real for the first time in a while.

“No, to be honest father told this to me one day when I was a pup”
