Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 102

Theo/Gage's POV

It took a lot of convincing from Izzy to get us back home. We did not want to return home 'cause we knew the next time we saw Adrian we were going to kill him. We're not exaggerating. He hurt my baby sister, now we'll hurt him.

"You're not going to kill him." Izzy says to us with a small chuckle. We look over at her with narrowed eyes, hating that she can read everything in our minds now. She smiles over at us before winking and skipping the rest of the way to the house. We roll our eyes before following her, not focusing on what we'll do to him. As we see the house we spot Mom and Dad talking to a few people, they all seem to be really good friends from the looks of it. Must be the friends that she called for. She sees us and waves us over, making the group look at us in curiosity. We walk over to them quickly and stand next to Mom.

"Everyone this is Theo, our son." They all look at Mom likes she's crazy before assessing us over.

"I thought Bane-"

"Long story, will explain it all later." Mom says, interrupting the pretty lady. She rolls her eyes at Mom before turning to, what we assume, her mate. The man stands there with a stoic face, though you can see a glint of humour behind his eyes.

"Theo, this is Charlotte and her mate James. Charlotte is the Witches Queen, while James is the Rogue King. Then that is Gabriel, and he's the Dragons King." Mom says, pointing towards everyone. We nod our heads and smile at everyone.

"Nice to meet you Theo." Charlotte says to us. We go to speak but stop and try to use what we've learned with sign language. They all look at us in confusion before Gabriel's eyes brighten.

"That's just it Theo! I never wanted a mate! I never wanted one because I loathed the idea of being in love with someone because you had to! Having a mate never gave me a choice. I want to choose who I fall in love with, I don't want someone telling me who I should and should not love. All my life I was told what to do, never being able to make my own choices. I've seen how mates would be if they never really loved each other. It's awful Theo! They'd go off with someone else and yet still come home to each other. I don't want that. I'm sorry for hurting your sister, I never wanted it to end like this. I hoped that I never met my mate, but I did. I love my fiancè Theo, and I know she loves me. I know that you'll never forgive me for hurting Callie, and I completely understand but this was my decision and I made it." We could only stare at him in shock.

"Did you ever think how it would affect Callie? You made her leave because she couldn't bare to see you with that other girl every day. You made this decision Adrian, but know that you'll regret it. No matter how many times you convince yourself that it was the right thing to do. You'll always regret it." We say before leaving him there and walking back into the house.

We see Izzy approach us before leading us upstairs. We enter our room before laying down with her and holding her close to us. We hum as she slowly runs her fingers through our hair, smiling down at us.
