Page 8 of My Unexpected Mate

I think my brain was going to burst. I groaned and turned to my side. I tried to fall asleep again, but my hangover wouldn’t let me.

I didn’t really know how much I had drunk the previous night. I just know it was a lot. I remember coming to the club with Nick. We went through security and said hello to Sebastian. He saw how pissed off I was, and he didn’t even try to talk to me. I saw him and Nick exchange looks. Nick just shook his head and Sebastian sighed slightly. Assholes. They think I don’t notice their silent conversations.

I didn’t let that bug me for long. I grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniel’s behind a bar and sat at our usual spot. Nick and I drank that bottle pretty quickly. He can hold his liquor better than me. Being half werewolf had its benefits. It took more for him to get drunk, and he didn’t have to suffer from a hangover after. Lucky son of a bitch.

I don’t remember much after that first bottle. Music was loud and the bar was packed with hot, slutty women who threw themselves at us all night long. Nick was getting a lot more offers. Probably because of how pissed off I looked. I saw a couple of girls look my way, but when they saw the look on my face they just gave up. I found it funny. Nick was having a blast, though. By the looks of it, he probably took more than one girl to a hotel the previous night.

I caught myself looking for her all night long. None of them had her green eyes. The more I drank, the more I was searching for her.

I tried to put my focus on something else. Nick tried to get me distracted by making two girls kiss and touch each other in front of us. I was slightly aroused, but it wasn’t anything I hadn’t already seen before, and it didn’t distract me. Which made me even angrier.

There weren’t any fights last night. It was disappointing because I didn’t get an opportunity to unleash my anger on some dipshits who were fighting over some stupid shit.

Around 2 am I was fucked up drunk. I made myself flirt with one of the human girls who didn’t find me intimidating and I took her home. I couldn’t be in that club anymore and I needed to blow off some steam. Sex was always a great way to do that. I projected an image of a hotel room like I always do and tried to distract myself from her.

We were laying on my bed, making out and she started to kiss and lick her way to my cock. It wasn't even hard. I just couldn’t focus. Before she could take off my jeans, I put a spell on her. I had a reputation to uphold. I couldn’t have her walking around telling people Gabriel Richardson couldn’t get his dick up. So, I projected an image of us having sex. She was laying on my bed, moaning. My spells were done to perfection. There was no way she would know it wasn’t real. Even if she was supernatural, she wouldn’t know. I was that good.

Her loud moans started to get on my nerves, so I went to my bathroom and took a cold shower.

I felt every emotion from the last couple of months boiling inside of me. Rage, sadness, guilt, weakness, everything was mixing and threatening to come out in some ugly ways. I have to keep my magic under control.

My grandma taught me to subdue my magic. So other supernatural beings and humans couldn’t sense my power. This ability kept me safe. Some inquisitors have learned to recognize supernatural beings just by feelings they had around them. Humans sensed we were different; they could feel our power. They just don’t know what it is. Inquisitors, on the other hand, have learned about what it means and how to recognize it and they know it is a supernatural quality. A lot of supernatural beings were discovered because of it. So, I couldn’t lose my shit. They would feel me. I have been successfully avoiding them for a year now. I was not going to reveal myself now.

I took a few deep breaths and let the cold water chill me.

When I came back to my room the girl was sleeping. The projection ended. I woke her up, called her a cab and sent her home. She was happy and kept telling me that was the best sex of her life. If only she knew...

It didn’t take me long to fall asleep.

I glanced at my phone and saw it was 10 am. I thought I would sleep a lot longer. I guess my headache woke me up.

I got out of bed, freshened up, put on sweats and a hoodie, and went downstairs to make myself something to eat.

I was in the middle of my eggs and bacon breakfast when Nick let himself in.

“Good morning, sunshine!” he greeted cheerfully. “Well, you look like shit.”

“Thank you, Nick. Not all of us have werewolf genes,” I said, smirking at him.

He laughed, “Not everything is about genes, my man. A lot of it is just about how incredible I am,” he winked at me like I was one of his sluts.

“How come I don’t see it?” I teased him while putting my plate in the dishwasher.

“Jealousy is clouding your vision,” he said.

I smirked and poured myself a cup of coffee. “Want some?”

“Sure. I need to be awake to search for your girl.”

“Yeah, I don’t know, man. Do I want to find her?” I asked him, hoping he would say something smart.

“Why not?” he looked surprised.

I didn’t know how to explain it. Nick was my friend and I have known him since we were kids. But we never talked about feelings. No guy talks about his feelings with his friends. We just joked around. How could I explain this without sounding like a pussy? I sighed and gave it my best shot.

“I’m not used to these feelings, man. I’ve never felt anything for a girl except a need to fuck her. And I don’t even want to do that to her. It’s confusing and I don’t even know if I want to find out why.”

“Well, maybe for the first time you see a future with someone. Not just sex, but like a relationship,” he shrugged.
