Rose Bailey: My Mate, My Flower Chapter 32

Mark's POV(Rose's Brother)

"I think you were right about your mother Mark," Keith said as soon as we reached his office

"What happened?" 

"I have been having some of the pack warriors following your mom when she is on her supposed vacations. One of them saw something strange the other night she left when Rose and Jason came over."

"What did they see?"

"They said she vanished in front of their eyes."

"You mean teleported somewhere?" I asked him

"Yes Mark, I believe that you inherited your powers from your mother. Just like you thought"

I knew something was off about my mom. I have never seen her transform into her wolf. She always said she didn't feel comfortable in wolf form. That made no sense. If she had a wolf it would need to run free.     

When I was eighteen, I went to a party and met a human female. We went back to her house and had sex. Turns out she had a boyfriend and he showed up, while we were in the middle of fucking. He had hit me and when I lifted my hand to hit him back, he went flying into the wall. I hadn't even touched him yet. I left out of there in a hurry pissed and worried. I looked down at my hand and saw fire coming out of it. I looked around and nobody was around. It took about ten minutes for the fire to leave my hands.

I have never told anyone but Keith about my powers. Fire magic normally comes from dark witches. I had always assumed that I inherited them from my mom but wasn't sure. I would like to say that I am surprised that she would keep something that important away from me, but I am not. She has never been a mother to me to begin with. She is never at home and treats me and my father like we are nothing to her. I can't remember the last time she sat down and had a conversation with me. 

"There is more! I have learned that she has been meeting with Beta Jacob, from' Bloodmoon Pack. You know that he has wanted Vivian to be mated with Derek since they were children. Derek told me that Jacob is upset that your sister is his fated mate. Someone came to me and told me that Jacob is using a witch to cast a spell to make Derek feel the mate bond with Vivian. They said that this supposed witch has used the spell before to make someone believe that she is mated to them." He said looking me in the eye

I looked at him wondering what he was trying to say

"I believe that witch is your mother," He finished

I looked up at him in confusion at first until realization hit me. He was trying to say that my mother cast the spell on my father.

"No, that can't be," I said and jumped out of my seat. 

"Think about it, Mark. Your dad believed that Lilly was his mate for years. They started a family and were happy. One day your mother comes back with a son and tells him you're his. He never felt the bond with her until that day." He explained

"No, she wouldn't do that"

"Your parents never acted like mates. They never spend time together and are always arguing. Mates don't argue. They don't seem to have a mate bond Mark" He said

"I don't want to hear this. You are wrong" I said and stormed out of his office.

I knew what he was saying was making sense but why would she do that? I didn't want to think that my mom would be that cruel as to steal another woman's mate. I needed some time to think about the situation.

Max

"Rose just texted saying she went with Mark back to your pack to get away for a while. I told her that's fine" Lil said

"Good! I'm happy she decided to call him. It makes me happy that they are getting along" I said with a smile

Lilly looked up at me and I swear I stopped breathing for a moment. She's still the most beautiful woman in the world. All I wanted to do was fuck her over and over again. I wanted to make up for all the years that I have missed being inside of her.

Chloe and I haven't been intimate in years. I have been seeing a shewolf that has been taking care of my needs. When I saw Lilly for the first time after all those years I couldn't imagine fucking anyone else. It made me feel sick just like when we were together to even think about letting any other female touch me. 

All these feelings were evidence that Michael's theory was true. There was no way that Chloe was my mate. I may have felt tingles when we touched but they were never that strong. It actually felt like they were fading away with time. With Lilly, the tingles felt the same if not better than the first time I touched her. I could feel the love that I have always felt for her increase. It was like a part of me that I had lost when she left, came back as soon as she did.

What I didn't understand was why someone wanted to separate us. Why did they want me to believe that Chloe was my mate? There were so many unanswered questions that I needed the answer to. I also needed to let Lilly know the truth. I really hoped she would believe what I was about to tell her.

I looked up and saw Lilly looking at me with her beautiful hazel eyes. She had her hand on my arm, making tingles and sparks shoot all through my body. I could tell that she felt something as well because she removed her hand quickly and a look of shock appeared on her face

"What did you want to talk to me about?" She asked

"I wanted to tell you that I am sorry for everything that happened in the past but that some things you believed happened are not as they seem"

"Look, I don't want to argue about the past Max. I understand you found your mate and that you were wrong about me" She started but I cut her off by attaching my lips to hers.

The kiss started off slow and lovingly and then soon turned to want and need. My whole body felt like it woke from a deep slumber. Love, lust, want, and need started taking over my senses. I pulled away knowing that if I kept kissing her it would turn into something else. I knew we needed to have this conversation before anything else happened between us.

She looked up at me with a smile. Then she looked concerned as realization hit her of what just happened.

"That shouldn't have happened Max," She said

I grabbed her hand and felt the sparks from her touch. She closed her eyes loving the feel of my hand on hers.

"It should happen, Lil. That's what I am trying to tell you. I know you felt the sparks because of your reaction. I need you to listen to everything I have to say before you respond ok," I asked and she nodded

"Chloe is not my mate, you are" I said and she let out a gasp.
