The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

I lay on the bed long after Kendrix left me in the room, I was just staring at the ceiling right now but for about thirty minutes after he left me in the room, all I did was cry and right now, I was beyond exhausted, I just wanted to sleep till it was time for Rose to get married so that I can be out of this sick country for good, never, I am never coming back here again after I leave, this place brought nothing but pain to me, if I didn’t love Rose so much, I would have left this minute and not look back but Winrose was there for me at my lowest and I couldn’t miss her big day.

My phone buzzed in my purse and I got up to check it, there was an incoming call from Rose, she must be so worried about me, I should have called her as soon as I got in.

“Rose,”

I called when I picked up the call.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Ari, I have been trying to get through to you,”

She let out. I could feel the panic in her voice, I felt bad for not calling her immediately knowing how worried she must have been.

“I am sorry, I was going to call you, I found a place to stay for the rest of my time here, at least Dad can’t make him send me out,”

I said hoping that was the case, if Ken throws me out then I will have no choice but to leave.

“Thank god, I thought you couldn’t find a place, I am sorry for what happened Ari,”

“Don’t apologize again, you are not at fault here,”

I scolded, I felt better from just talking to her, I laid back on the bed as I knew this was going to be a long call, we always have long conversations on the phone, which stems from being best friends who live thousands of miles apart.

“So? Where are you at?”

Rose asked, yup, I knew she was going to ask that and I already knew what her reaction will be once I tell her where I was at.

“Kendrix’s house,”

I said and boy did she react the way I had expected, I had to move my phone from my ears to avoid damage.

“Oh my god, a knight in shining armor, your very own fairytale love story, I totally agree with this, I am the president of the Arix fan club,”

She said excitedly.

“What? He is not a knight, yeah he helped me but that has nothing to do with a fairytale, miss, this is reality.’

I countered but Rose wasn’t having any of it.

“Don’t you dare, I know a love story when I see one, and yours is going to be so beautiful, my Arix heart is pleased.”

She said, again with too much excitement, she was too in love to see reality.

‘What does that even mean Rose?’

“Your ship name, of course, I told you, you will find a man, you just had to look in the right places,”

She said too excited for something that wasn’t even real, Kendrix and I would never be a thing, and for a whole lot of reasons.

“You are delusional Rose, that man isn’t mine and we are not a thing, he is just helping because he is nice,”

I said doing my best not to buy into her delusion because it only had one ending and it is tragic.

“That’s how it starts, that’s how it started with Jayden and me,”

She tried to convince me. I rolled my eyes.

“Yeah right, are you forgetting the part where he is your mate, don’t push it, woman,”

I responded.

“He can be your mate too, you never can tell,”

“He can’t, I have a mate remember? More like I had and you know him,”

“Ari, don’t dismiss it like it can’t happen, there is always a second chance and this might be yours,”

She persuaded.

“It is not, that much I can tell you. The moon goddess can’t be so dumb to give me two mates from the same family and what more, I would have known if he is,”

I responded, she was filling my head with delusional and unrealistic thoughts and it was better to set the record straight for the both of us, Ken wasn’t my mate and we were never going to be a thing,

“Okay, but that doesn’t mean you guys can’t have a thing right, you have the hots for him remember,’

She persisted.

“NO, I don’t Rose, don’t push it, let’s talk about your wedding instead. We are only two weeks and a couple of days away from your big day,”

I said changing the topic and as I hoped, the excited bride-to-be filled me in on what she has done so far and what was left, we spent about three hours on the phone discussing and we both agreed to meet up for the fitting next week, I finally hung up when a knock came to the door, I stood up from the bed and opened the door, Ken was standing there and smiling at me.

“Hi, can I come in? I brought you something to eat,”

He said showing what he held, I stepped out of the way to let him in and realized my bags were still outside, I let out an embarrassed sigh and went to get my bag, he was seated on the sofa when I got back in, he had set the food he brought on the table and my tummy rumbled at the sight of the food, I realized I haven’t eaten all day.
