Esha's POV

"Someone's here to see you" my mom said after I opened the door when she knocked.

Only thirty minutes had passed since Cain's and here he is, did I meet a cheetah instead of a wolf?

I went downstairs with my mom. She already let him in and he is sitting in the living room. He gazed at me and smiled. I felt a bit calm seeing him despite the turmoil in my head with the frustrations still enveloping me inside like claws wanting to tear me apart.

"Cain" I said and looked at my mom, "Mom, this is Cain, a friend, he just transferred here."

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Mirsten" he said, standing up, "I did mentioned my name a while back, though Esha here" - looks at me and then turned his gaze to my mom - "calls me Cain, but first or second name, I am fine with both" he continued, "Hope I did not disturb you or anything."

"No, not at all" my mom said, "Just glad Esha came down to see you"' she smiled gently, looking at me then at Cain, "Would you like something to eat? It's almost dinner."

That was fast. Why does he have to come over at night, anyway? Whatever, he is here and let us just let it be.

"Can I?" Cain said, looking at me. Why is he asking me? Did I asked him to?

"My mom already invited you" I answered, "So you can."

"Great!" my mom beamed, "I'll leave you two here to talk or chat, whatever you wanna have a conversation about" she said and walks towards the kitchen, the room next to where we are.

I walk towards Cain and sit opposite him. He walks towards me and sits at the empty space of the sofa.

"I like sitting beside you" he defended himself when I gave him a questioning look, "You could have introduced me as your boyfriend."

"Going with that again?" I said, "No" - I gave him a slight punch on his arm, "I can do that when it is real."

"Do you want it to be real? You gave me a chance, haven't you?"

"Yes, I did and well, with everything, it is the least I am thinking about right now" I said, not really a lie, his face looks a bit disappointed and sad, "I did not mean anything offending, Cain, it's just really complicated right now and - "

"I know, Esha" he cut in, "I want to know more of you, I understand and as your mate, I will respect whatever decision you have."

"How did you know I am your mate? Does that come with requirements?"

He shortly laughed.

"It just announced itself" he answered, "When we came here, I did not know I will find you and meet my mate, you smelled so good, still smells good right now" - he smiled and pulled me closer - "I like how everything about you is intoxicating, just that voice in my head saying you are my mate."

I did not object when he pulled me, I like his touch yet I stubbornly do not want him to be my lover these current days.

"Do I also have that voice in my head to tell me?"

"I am not sure of that" he answered, "Did you felt something when you first saw me?"

Thinking about it now, despite some of my irritating moments meeting him, I did felt something, like a tugging to look at him. He smelled good that time, cannot describe it with words.

"Yes, but maybe just a bit, like a tugging or a pull to look at you" I answered.

"Well, you're wolf side can tell you."

"How?"

"You'll feel it, like you can't go on without me, you'll always choose me over anything else and you'll feel intensive emotions towards me" he said, "Something like that, a voice inside will tell you I'm your mate."

I cannot believe we are having conversation like this right now, in our living room, with my mom next room.

"I don't know, but I did want you to be with me when that frustrating and shocking event happened" I honestly said, "Is not it unfair to just be tied up with someone you might just met? What if you have fallen in love with someone else before you mey your mate?"

I asked a logical question, right? What if it is like that?

"I never loved anyone before you" he said, his seriousness can either be surprising to me or just that it is the truth.

I can be really a realist at time, and when it comes to love, love at first sight is not my thing. I will have to evaluate my feelings after some times.

"It is just a question" I said, "I don't mean to invalidate what you feel" I continued, "Cain, I can love you but with everything happening to me, time and situations can tell me that."

That is true. I just can't go on and be with someone just because some supernatural thing says I am to be someone's lover and destined half.

"You will soon realize it, Esha" he said, "And well, you're right, I cannot push you to be with me because my wolf side tells me you're my mate" he continued, "I'm in love with you, still."

I did not really know how to respond to that, he always confesses to me, romantic place or not.

"Cain, I like you" I admitted, his face kind of lit up, "Love? It's a different matter for me, I hope you understand."

"Of course, I do, Esha" he said and pulled me for a hug.

He lets go when we heard my mom calling to us. He smiled at me and we went to the kitchen together.

"You don't mind eating salads and veggies?" my mom said, looking at Cain.

"No, it's alright, it is still food" he answered.

Dinner or whatever you call meals, my mom can have us both eat anything. Breakfast food can be served during lunch or dinner. I do not really mind and Cain is right, it is still food. Sometimes, I really want to laugh a bit with this. I do not bother much about food in the past and I don't intend to now.
