Chapter 43
“YESSS!” he said hugging me and spinning me around, once he put me down he brushed his thumb on my cheek and leaned in. I gulped and waited until he closed the distance and started kissing me gently.
If Ethan had marked me, which he’d never do, I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the kiss since finding a mate is the first step but to actually have a strong connection with your mate he has to mark you that’s when things become steamy between mates
The kiss wasn’t fairytale like with sparks and all that. But the kiss made me feel safe, secure and loved, in a way Ethan never made me feel but Xavier always did.
Ethan’s P.O.V.
I paced in my room trying to stop myself and my wolf from going down there and kick his ass again. I couldn’t explain it; when I saw him in her bed, holding her, hugging her, I snapped. My wolf was going crazy
and so was I.
And when he kissed her, it was the last straw. But now non of that was going through my mind. The only
thing I was thinking about was what he said. Was she his girlfriend? She did look shocked when he said it
but maybe she was shocked that he blurted it out. Maybe they were keeping it a secret.
“UGH” I groaned punching the wall. My wolf was pissed and if it hadn’t been for Lily calming us down when
I was fighting Xavier I don’t know what I would’ve done.
I closed my eyes and tried to think of the feel of her fur against mine, the heat of her body as she sat next
to me on the ground. The image seemed to calm my wolf down so. I could control him. I couldn’t lose control like that again, not with them and Lily. Cause no how much it pissed me off all of these guys were important to her.
When I was sure I was in good control over my wolf I got out, I needed to talk to Lily. I closed my eyes and let myself follow her scent and found her in the drive way geting on her bike.
“Where you going?” I asked her calmly. She looked at me and shrugged
“Work” she answered me and I nodded thinking of what her work might be, she never mentioned it.
I walked towards her and put my hand over hers on the bike handle. Her head snapped and she stared at
me
“is it true?” I asked knowing she’d understand what I meant. She stayed silent and I took a deep breath “tell me”
She nodded “yeah it’s true” she said “bye Ethan” and with that she turned on her bike and left. The pain I felt was unbearable, knowing my mate chose someone else over me. I closed my eyes and cursed myself, Karma really was a b***h. I deserved this, I deserved to feel what I made her feel.
I ran towards the woods and as soon as I reached it I changed and ran, letting my wolf take over so maybe

for just a few hours I’d focus on nothing but the hunt and try to forget everything else
Lily’s P.O.V.
“Hey Dean” I said walking in the garage “Sorry for the no show yesterday I had a few…stuff I had to do” Like kicking rogue ass I thought. I was really thankful for my wolf healing now, if I had to keep my arm the way it was waiting for it to heal I would have gone crazy, not to mention I wouldn’t have been able to ride my
bike, my baby.
“S’okay we didn’t have a lot to do yesterday anyways. But I do have something interesting for you” he said cleaning his hands on a rag “Follow me”
I nodded and followed him to the back and spotted a beat up Ford Mustang “For me? You shouldn’t have” I laughed looking at the car that obviously wouldn’t last a five minute drive.
Dean laughed “it’s a challenge. Once a year there’s a contest or something between mechanic shops they give them the the same beat up cars and they have to fix them. And I’m talking the whole package, engine, interior, graphics everything.”
“And the prize” I asked walking towards the car, examining it.
“well other than the great advertisement for the store, free parts and updates for two years.” he said and I
nodded popping up the hood
“Well winning would help this shop a lot.” I frowned at the engine “The engine needs almost complete changing, the wires are worn, battery completely thrown out… this is going to take some work”
“Yeahthat’s why I’m giving it to you” Dean said and I looked at him in shock so he shrugged “your better with engines and each mechanic shop has to have two people to represent the shop one for the engine, wiring’s etc. and one for the graphics and interiors. I’m going to talk to the guy that did the graphics on the Cadillac. Remember? the one you were drooling over?”
I laughed and nudged him on the arm “well it was drool worthy” I shrugged “and yeah great idea with him on our team we’ll have a decent chance of winning. Got his number?” Dean nodded
“yeah somewhere under the bunch of papers in the office” he said
“Tell him to stop by tomorrow we’ll go over what parts we need, write a list and get to work” I said closing
the hood. “Now let’s get back to work”
