MY UNWANTED MATE📒❤

 

      Chapter 22

Saturday ~

      • Umbrie's POV • 

 The sun reflected harshly on my face as I stood outside the taxi. As the ride drove off, I turned around to proceed into the house but seeing Keiran stopped me. 

He was shirtless and seemed to be washing his car with the rag in his hand and the water hose on the floor.

"What are you doing here?" He asked tossing the clothe aside.

I snickered before going close to him.

"I came so you can teach me how to drive. Let's go driving together." I replied and an 'uninterested' look quickly spread across his face.

"Not happening. Try next time." He replied blowing me off. 

I scoffed folding my hands together.

"You practically have no choice 'big guy'. Let's just go. Even if it's for an hour. I'm sure you'll love it." I answered moving to the passenger seat.

He doesn't move but stood still while staring at me. After some seconds, he grabbed his rag and went back into the house.

He showed up a moment later now fully dressed.

We rode in his car together and we took turns at some point.

I wasn't an expert but u could turn the wheel with shaky hands. 

Keiran was cold and eerily quiet at first but he suddenly got the hang of it. He finally talked and laughed whenever something crazy happened and that made the hang out better. I intentionally acted like a newbie though so we would come closer to me and it worked.

We stopped by the park and Keiran ordered ice cream for me.

"What about yours?" I asked after he paid.

"I'm good." He coyly replied and I frowned.

"Why don't you want any?" 

"It's not a big deal." 

"But—"

"Fine, Umbrie!" He rasped and ordered for another one.

We returned back to the car before I spotted a hot dog vendor nearby.

"Let's get that too." I pointed and he rolled his eyes.

"I will be right back." He set out to get it.

I was left alone in the car and the first thing I noticed sitting on the dashboard was Keiran's phone. I grabbed it without hesitation and just scaled through his gallery. To my surprise, there were no pictures or videos. I switched to camera selfie and took three shots of my photos. I dropped the phone and started licking my ice cream.

He came back later with just hotdogs for me.

He dropped it next to me and grumpily sat at the driver's seat.

"I want to go home." He said slightly looking like a little child.

I don't reply but stare out of the window.

"Um...let's go one more place before you go home." I suggested and he didn't look one bit impressed.

I don't pay attention to him as I passed him his ice cream.

I mouthed to him "It's melting."

He accepted it slowly.

We left for the pet store and saw many exotic animals. Keiran seemed to love dogs more and I just can't choose the one to pet. They were so adorable with small eyes and fur. I ended up picking a cat and I pet it to sleep. I also got to meet a hamster. 

After the busy day together, Keiran dropped me off at home.

He shook his head as he drove off from our driveway. I chuckled at his countenance before going in.

I met Jared placing his food on the table and about to settle down to eat it.

I ran quickly to where he was and carried up the plate. I shifted from him.

"Are you hungry, Jared?" I asked smirking and backing away from his hold.

"Stop playing with my food, Umbrie!" He snapped, his angry veins popping next to his head.

I scoffed and still maintained my distance. "Are you hungry, Jared?" I asked again and this time, he ran towards me but I jumped to the other side of the living room.

"Why so sloppy, warrior?" I teased him.

He growled and came towards me with full speed. I ran to the dinning table, dropped his food and fleed through the staircase. 

I was laughing hysterically until I was safe in my room, behind the close doors from a pissed off Jared. 

I kick my shoes off and grabbed my cellphone from my purse before falling on the bed dramatically.

Suddenly, there was an incoming call icon hanging at the screen of my phone. I tapped on it hoping it would be Keiran but unfortunately, it was an unknown number. I gazed at it only for a second before answering.

There was a low growl from the other line. A growl so steep but audible.

I wanted to ask who it was but a voice came up immediately.

"Hey, Umbrie. How's life treating you?" 

My phone almost slipped from my hand. It was Louis speaking. It was freaking Louis. I can never forget that deceitful voice. It lurked around my head after we found out who he truly was.

"Louis." I muttered clenching my fist. "It's so cowardly of you to escape. Why exactly are you calling me right now? What are you going to do this time? Are you going to transform yourself to look like me and sleep around town like you previously did?" 

I was fuming before I even realized.

"Relax, Umbrie. I didn't mean to hurt you. I forgot I was allegedly mated to someone. It was tough being in another body that is not mine. Let's blame it on the girl anyway. She's the one who seduced me." He drawled.

"You are sick." 

"I could have done something bad to you but I didn't. You should be thanking me for sparing your immature life. I was starting to like you so I pitied you. You messed up everything and you brought whatever messed up emotions you're feeling now on yourself." 

"Get lost, Louis." I was about to turn off the phone when his next sentence had me frozen.

"The person who helped us out with knowing everything about you and Keiran is in your 'most loyal' pack house. Just so you know.." He hung up after that and my mind is left racing. 

I felt a rip somewhere in my heart just thinking about the betrayal. But then, do I have to trust Louis?
