Rose Bailey: My Mate, My Flower Chapter 33

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 in 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.

Lilly POV

"Chloe is not my mate, you are," Max said causing me to gasp.

I didn't know what to say to him. He hurt me so badly back then by leaving me with three children for someone else. He even had a child with her that was the same age as Jason. How dare he try to play with my feelings?

"Look I don't know what you are trying to accomplish by lying to me"

"I'm not lying Lil. I don't know why you believe that I told you about Chloe being my mate because I didn't. After we had that argument about my father and I left something happened to me and I ended up in the hospital. Now I believe a witch cast a spell on me. I also believe someone came to you looking like me to make you leave." He said 

I looked up at him not knowing what to believe. If she wasn't his mate then why have they been together all this time? Why did he cheat on me with her and get her pregnant? All this didn't make any sense.

"Max! You cheated on me with Chloe back then. You have a child with her. You even spend the last sixteen years with her. Why are you saying all this to me?"

"First off, I don't remember having sex with Chloe back then. Yes, Mark is mine and I love my son, but I don't know how we ended up together that night. I have been living in the same house with Chloe but we haven't been intimate in years and that was when Mark was still little. I have never loved her. I have never loved anyone except for you Lil. I am telling you magic has something to do with this."He said 

He placed his hand on mine. I looked up at him and he was staring deep into my eyes.

"I know you feel the sparks, Lil. I know you have never stopped loving me, just like I haven't stopped loving you." He said softly making me shiver. 

He leaned into me, making our foreheads touch. I could feel his breath fanning my face as he spoke.

"Please believe me," He said and then pressed his lips back to mine. 

My body was heating up. I was feeling something that I had never felt with any other man but him and that was love. I felt aroused and needy, wanting him to take me like he used to. Fuck me until I couldn't take it anymore. 

"I believe you, Max," I said

He looked at me and smiled, before kissing the top of my head

"Thank you, Lil" 

"I think we need to talk about this more up in my room," I said and he looked at me confused

I leaned in and whispered in his ear. I felt him shiver from my action, causing me to smirk

"There is something that I need you to take care of that nobody else can see. It requires both of our clothes to be off" I said 

He jumped up quickly once he realized what I was talking about.

"Of course Lil, who am I to deny you of what you need," he said and we walked up to my room to make up for lost time.

Mark's POV

Did you take care of everything with Keith?" Rose asked from the passenger seat

"Not yet! We still have a lot we need to do" I told her

I was still thinking about what Keith had told me. At first, I was upset at him for even considering that my mom would do something so wrong, but deep down I knew he was right. My parents have never loved each other. I don't even think they sleep in the same bed with each other anymore. 

I knew I would have to confront her about all this. If I found her guilty of this she would be prosecuted. 

Mates were the most precious thing to werewolves. A wolf could die without their mate or go crazy. Sometimes if they had kids they would hold on to them but they would still lose a part of themselves. I believe that the only thing that kept my father alive was me. He was never truly happy and growing up he focused on me and his Beta duties. He was the best dad in the world. My only parent because my mom was never home.

I can see that he has brightened up since Lilly came back. He has a genuine smile that i have never seen before. I am happy that Lilly came back as well. I might have just found out about her and my siblings but I am happy my dad can finally have happiness. I would have to have a conversation with him about what Keith has told me.

I have always wanted my dad to be happy so I wouldn't be mad if he ended up with Lilly again. I just hope she feels the same about me. My father did have me, while he was still with her. I hope she doesn't hold it against me in any way.

When we get to the Bloodmoon packhouse I park the car. I am shocked to see Jason outside with a teenage boy.

"That is James, he wants to meet you, Come on!" Rose said 

I hopped out of the car and went over to where they were standing.

"Hey bro!" Jason said, causing a smile to come to my face. 

"Hey" I replied

"This is our little brother James. He has been eager to meet you since my mom told him about you." Jason said

James looked at me with a nervous expression on his face

"Hi, Mark! Nice to meet you" He said and lifted his hand for me to shake

"It's nice to meet you too little brother," I said and gave him a big hug.

When I let him go there was a huge smile on his face, causing me to smile too. 

"I see the two of you have met each other." I heard a woman say

I looked over and saw a beautiful woman with caramel skin and long black braids walking towards us with my father. He had a genuine smile and he looked happy. Happier than I had ever seen him before. I knew she must be Lilly. 

"Hello, my name is Lilly. I want to say thank you for picking up Rose today," She said with a smile on her face.

"You don't have to thank me, I would do it anytime she needs" I replied

Just then Derek came outside the house

"Can we talk Rose?" Derek said as he came close to her. 

She nodded and they went into the house.

"Do you think it's a good idea for them to talk?" I heard Jason ask

"Yes, they need to figure this out on their own" Lilly said

"I want to beat his ass," Jason said

"Me too," said my father

"No! We have to trust her to figure this out herself" Lilly said, causing both of them to let out a huff.

"What happened and who is this" James asked confused. He was looking at my father

"James, this is your father Max," Lilly said to him

"Hello, James! Nice to meet you" My dad said 

James looked at him for a minute before responding

"Yeah, you too! I'm going to my room" He said and walked away.

 I knew he was angry at my father for not being around him while he was younger.

"Should I go talk to him?" My father asked with concern

"No I will," Lilly said

"I don't know mom, he might not want to talk to you right now"

"I will go talk to him," I said and they all looked at me

"That might be a good idea. I will go with you," Jason said and we headed up to James's room.
