Chapter four
Revealing
(Drakes P.O.V.)
She fell asleep again shortly after she woke, so I kept her in my arms on the way to the sanctuary, she seemed so peaceful in her sleep, and it felt nice to have her in my arms
I fell in love with her more and more as we spoke of her home, and of her parents, she shared with me how she missed her mother so
It made my heart ache to comfort her as her beautiful face looked so very sad
The drive to the sanctuary was short, just a few minutes
“Drake, will you take her to courter eight? We’ll let her rest right now, but tomorrow, were going to introduce her to the rest” Maria said to me, looking at Jenna with so much care
I nodded and took Jenna down the halls to corridor one, and down to the room that no one has been allowed to occupy, they’ve been waiting for Jenna to come home I guess
I opened the door and looked around the room; it was painted sky blue, with a full bed and a dresser sitting across from each other
Posters and pictures were strewn across the wall, and a small window was looking out over the forest, it was one O clock in the morning, so it was dark
I carried her to the bed, and gently shifted her to one arm
Pulling the covers back, I set her on the bed, pulling the covers over her
She shifted to her side, sighing in her sleep
I wanted to kiss her so bad, at least kiss her forehead, but I couldn’t, afraid she would wake and find me out, I would have to tell her that she was my mate, she would never want to speak to me again, thinking I was some weirdo
So I just stroked her cheek softly with my hand, she smiled in her sleep, making it harder to resist kissing her
I got up and left the room, closing the door softly
“hi Drake” I jumped at the sound of her voice
I turned to Ley with wide eyes “Ley! You scared the shit out of me!” I scolded
She was leaning casually on the door “that’s a first” she muttered, narrowing her eyes at me
Ley is my friend, though she thinks were more than that, she thinks were mates-to-be or something
“Who was that?” she asked, pointing to the door
I started walking down the hall “that’s Jenna Lamer, she is the daughter of head masters Laurence and Maria” I informed her
She paused for a second, shock hitting her “well, what were you doing in there? I could swear I saw you touch her cheek” she said accusingly
I smirked and said nothing; Ley gasped “are you kidding me? I am your mate Drake! Your mate!” she told me
I stopped and looked at her “do you even know what having a mate feels like?” I asked her
“yes, you are my mate Drake” she said, getting close to me, touching my chest
I grabbed her hand, not roughly, but as gently as I could, and put it down at her side “Ley, I love you, but as a friend, you are like family to me, but you are not my mate, Jenna is” I murmured to her
