Broken Mates
Chapter 32

I'm shameless I know. No need to say it.

Jake: How honest.

Author: Darling, that's the only way you're have a good life and go to heaven.

I want both.

Jake: Glad to hear that.

"Hey, do you guys think Even will be okay? He didn't sound so good when we went to see him. *Sigh, really, I wanted to see him and know how he was doing but he didn't give us a chance" Minna asked, worried about the poor guy considering what he was going through.

They were in the kitchen, seated on the kitchen stools. She was with James, Sandy and Debby and they just inished cleaning up. Debby and James had a glass of water in front of them while Minna and Sandy had a glass of juice before them.

"Even? Shouldn't you be saying beta Even or maybe master Even?" Sandy asked with an eyebrow arched. "Oh please" Minna rolled her eyes, "There's no one here"

"That's what you said the last time before you were caught by the alpha when you called him by his fi he. You should be grateful our alpha is friendly and kindhearted if it was any other demon alpha, you would have come back here scratching your butt" James said in a calm tone. Minna looked up, thanking the deities for giving them lvan as their pack leader, their alpha.

She has heard about unlucky packs who had vicious and evil pack leaders. Of course, they were lucky to have such a kind, considerate and caring pack leader.

Tristan was lucky to be his mate and she hope the little alpha mate will take care of the alpha.

"You're right" Sandy nodded. "I hope alpha Ivan rules forever" Minna exclaimed with a smile "What about young master Alan?" Sandy countered. "Can we drop it now, you're making me feel bad for what I said" Minna looked down with a sad expression. "Well, as long as you know" Sandy said, taking a sip from her glass of juice. She looked like she did not just shut Minna up. This irritated Minna a little. She rolled her eyes in annoyance. Minna then turned to look at Debby who was engrossed on her phone. She was probably waiting for a call from her children. "Stop staring Debby, they're not calling today" James voiced out. He was already getting worried. Deb

tention has been on her phone, waiting for her children to call and because of that they had to eat a highly salted soup with equal highly salted bread. It was unbearable and if Minna and Sandy weren't fast enough to prepare a new meal, they would have had to serve the masters of the house the same food. They would have threw up after taking a sip. "But........" the woman started but James cut her off, "You need rest Debby" Debby looked like she was about to argue but then she held back and after some seconds, she sighed in defeat. "Okay" she said instead and got up, leaving. After she left and Minna knew she was out of hear of what she was about to say, she started, "You're the only one who can handle her Butter.mes"

"One word from your stupid mouth again and I'm getting this month's paycheck" and that silent Minna completely. She needed the money after all. She had her eyes set on a beautiful dress at the shop downtown.

Jake wanted to go see Chris, but he decided against. He first had to check up on his other mate.

Colten didn't come down for dinner and so he was bringing it to him, himself. He was sure Colten would be happy to see that.

He stared on the tray he was holding which contained a nice aroma of soup and bread. Reaching Colten's room, he used his free hand to open the door.

The moment he entered, a smile appeared on Colten's face. He was awake, and he was reading, again. Jake smiled, "You're here" Jake placed the tray on the bed and sat facing Colten with the tray between them. "I was wondering where you went. I woke up and you were gone. You really freaked me out"

"I'm sorry" Jake apologized. Colten reached out and caressed his cheek, smiling, "There's no need to be. I'm glad you're okay" Jake's smile widened, almost forgotten the food he brought. He wanted to jump onto his mate and kiss and maybe make love again. Make love? Did they make love? Oh, whatever. "I brought you food" he said. Colten redrew his hand, still smiling.

"My mate is so caring" Jake held his waist with a proud look. "Of course I am" he replied and continued, "Who will take care of you if I don't" Colten burst out laughing. Jake stared at his mate, dumbfounded. Oh, if Colten didn't eat his dinner fast, they would have to abandon the poor food.

"I'm so lucky then" Colten said after his laughter died down, "Hurry and eat, then maybe, I will consider offering my a*s as well"

"Now, how can I say no" Colten begun to eat his dinner, "So, how are you hanging on?" Colten asked when he stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth. Oh, that mouth that drove him insane every time he got a taste. He just couldn't wait for Colten to finish eating. "Do you like it here?" Colten's words brought Jake back to earth, where he should have been in the first place. "Yes. I like it here. Tristan and the others have been helping me a lot. Alpha Lvan too. So much that is freaking me out" "Oh?"

"Then again, it might be because of you" Jake said with an adorable smile, "My dear love, are you flirting with me?"

"What do you think? Do you think you can hold up until you finish eating?" Jake smirked. Oh, Colten liked where this was going, "I got hard the moment I saw you" "I'm please to hear that".
