Andrew.

"The place was so beautiful and so inspiring, thank you for taking me there Train, I loved it and I love you." I confessed as we took a turn to the street where my house was. "I would do anything for you starfish, all you have to do is say the word." He replied making me blush.

I knew he meant what he said because I was his  mate though I hadn't confessed that truth to him, I still knew it was true, he would do anything for me, and somehow in all that mix, I knew I would do anything for him to be happy as well. "You want me to stay with you for while?" He questioned but I knew he needed to get home.

.

He had been anxious about Linden having the twins without him, that at some point I called Linden just to confirm if he was okay, the concept of Linden's pregnancy he had disclosed to me but as something natural not involved with wolves at all, I didn't blame him for lying about it, he just didn't know how I would react to it, honestly, I would've done the same, omit the truth.

"No I had you all to myself for a whole week, I'm sure I can survive a night, plus you should be pretty worn out, we did drive for hours, so you need the rest." I responded and he chuckled lightly. "If you insist then, but call me, tell me if you're okay." He added though it was a given I was going to call him or text him before I slept.

"How do you feel about going on another amazing road trip, sometime in the future?" I asked and he quirked a brow. "I mean this one was fun, entertaining, informative, very very romantic, and everything else as sweet as you, so I just want to do it." I fumbled with my words and he chuckled again. "Babe I just told you, anything you want, I'm all yours." He expressed and I could feel an embarrassing blush creeping onto my cheeks.

Train and I had grown as a couple in the week that we were away, though I didn't know of his wolf side I realized what Linden said about him and his pack being more human than ordinary humans was true, he was kind, gentle, and loving, he was hot as hell and made my stomach flutter with his smile, and over time I was learning, he had the same goals and aspirations in life just like anybody else.

There wasn't a reason for me to fear him when I knew he wouldn't hurt me, he was the last person to hurt me, I was more likely to get hurt by my family than the werewolf I was bonded to and that made me feel secure in a very weird way, knowing I could depend on him to be my safety blanket when I needed one, I could depend on his love to always be there when no one else would love me.

"Starfish I love you, and you're tired, better get up there." He ordered and I had no reason to argue I had been drained physically but being with my mate I never really felt it, all I felt was him. "I will see you tomorrow at school." I mumbled with a yawn, I sighed afterward and he pulled me to him crashing his lips onto mine.

Vigorously he kissed me and naturally I submitted to him, I could never want anything else other than being underneath him or on my knees rocking his body in pleasure. A satisfied smile graced his lips after kissing me wildly.

I climbed out and he followed suit, handing me my bag, I kissed him again. "Bye, you horny man." I chortled and I turned to leave, he smacked my ass and leaned on the car to watch me strut away, I could feel his gaze on me till I slipped into the house.

"I love you." I mumbled to none in particular hoping he could hear me, I locked the door and made my way upstairs, I found my room the way I left it only that my laundry had been done which I knew was my mother's handiwork, it still baffled me that she tried when I didn't feel the love she was trying to portray by doing motherly duties.

I threw my bag on the floor and moved to put my phone and design tablet on the charger, as it turned on I started going through the several messages that had been sent to me over the week, most of them were from curators for my art or personal buyers which wasn't a surprise, I chuckled because of one photo Linden had sent me of him and Emric eating pickles and peanut butter in the middle of the night.

"So you're back." Amie hissed standing by the door and I whirled around to look at her with a quirked brow. "Yes, anything you need?" I questioned showing that I had no interest in talking to her. "So you've finally got balls, it's cute how hard you're trying when you know you'll never be anything without me." She stated and I scoffed.

"Wait without who —I didn't catch that." I replied and she seemed to be offended by my answer. "Listen sister, I never needed you, I will never need you, don't be so delusional as to think I'm one of the people who you trample on at school to get your way, okay, now beat it before I use you as a doormat, and next time, knock, your parents must have taught you manners." I retorted blankly and she seemed baffled by my response.

"You think you're so special, just because he's with you, he'll leave you after he sees how plain you are, you're nothing but a quick fuck to him, and when he realizes that, he'll leave you." She harshly replied and held an amused smirk. "You do know he's my boyfriend right, how many months have you been singing the same story but here we are and he's still with me, stop pining over a man whose taken sis, desperate doesn't suit you." I replied with a smile and her jaw dropped.

I banged the door in her face and turned away, Amie was always one to act better than I was, to be the golden child and it got to her head so much so that I became insignificant and she wanted to treat me like how our parents treated me and I silently took it, but now I realized I had been giving them the satisfaction of watching me fall and be their pawn.

I was starting to stand up for myself and no one would tell me otherwise because it was my life that I was living, no one would dictate it for me, I was taking me back and it felt really good, it was high time I became my own man.

Because I was exhausted physically and now emotionally, I decided to shower and go to bed, it was the best thing to do since tomorrow was a Monday and I absolutely hated Mondays, though if you asked Linden Everlin he would tell you Monday was the best day of the week and half the time when he said that, I wanted to strangle him.

"Hey babe, I'm okay, I hope you got home safe." I texted my mate and left the phone to go bath, the water was soothing, and my body felt so much better, it might have been fun but the driving part wasn't, sitting in one position for so many hours had cramping all over.

After showering I wore my pajamas and headed for bed. "I got home safe, though I think I broke my back starfish, might need a massage, I love you and good night my beautiful angel." I read it out loud and it still made me blush without meaning to, I locked my phone and left it to charge, my life was going great.
