Taming Of The Beast - 6. Chapter 6

I would like to thank JayT for his amazing editing for this. I truly am grateful :). .

Mason didn’t want to watch his mate go, but he did. He stood there and watched as Bastian loaded up the things they would need for their mission. He watched as his mate laughed and joked. However, the moment the time came for them to bid them farewell, he saw his mate’s smile fade and the sadness he had tried so hard to mask with confidence showed. He wanted to make this temporary goodbye special, so he moved closer to Mason, looked into his eyes, took Mason’s face into his hands, and leaned in closer to his lips. The moment their lips met, Bastian didn’t want to let go. His first kiss with his mate and he was leaving him behind. As the kiss deepened, Bastian didn’t want to pull away. Finally, Bastian leaned back from his mate so he could see his face.

“I’ll come back to you, Mason. Trust me,” his mate said as he kissed him one more time before he let him go. “I’ll always come back to you.” He got into the front seat of the black SUV as Luciana waved from the back seat. Then, Hale started the car and drove away, followed by Drew in another car. Mason knew right then he needed his mate more than he thought.

I love him, that thought hit him like a ton of bricks. A kiss was all it took to finally make him realize it. He could feel his mother’s arms wrapping around him. She placed small kisses as she led him to the kitchen. He knew he would follow his mate anywhere in the world; the separation would kill him if anything ever happened to him. Bastian belonged beside him, he belonged in his arms where he would always be able to protect him and love him. He could feel his heart breaking, it broke bit by bit the farther his mate was from him. He needed to believe that he would come back.

He knew he would never feel this kind of love for anyone else. Bastian was who he belonged with; who his heart and soul truly belonged to.

Mason walked into the living room and sat down next to his mother. She had a plate full of snacks already prepared for him. She smiled warmly at her son and picked up a magazine. Instead of reading the magazine, she thought about her son. He was a master at hiding his true feelings to those around him. He would always pretend as if everything was okay, even if he was hurting inside. This time he couldn’t hide the hurt. She hated to see him in pain when she was powerless to help him. This was one of those times. This road he would have to walk alone, waiting for his mate to return. Bastian promised he would return, and sealed that promise by making the first move in their mating.

Giselle looked at her watch. “It’s late. Goodnight, honey. Try to get some sleep, okay?” She stood up, kissed his forehead, and walked towards her bedroom.

Mason picked up the plate his mother had sat out for him and started eating. The taste that hit his tongue brought a smile to his face. Since Bastion left, he had been ignoring the messages his stomach was sending, trying to remind him to eat something. He switched on the television and started some mind-numbing comedy that he didn’t even bother to catch the name of. He needed something to distract him and help pass the time until he was sleepy enough to go to bed.

He barely heard the voices that came from behind him; his mind was too busy so he didn’t feel it necessary to pay attention to his surroundings.

“Hey, you doing alright?” a concerned voice asked, pulling Mason out of his thoughts.

He turned and saw the concerned faces of his friends. “What are you guys doing here?”

Jesse laughed as he grabbed the plate from Mason’s hands. “Free food; plus we are worried about you.”

Collin shook his head as he sat down on the couch. “We just wanted to see if you’re okay.”

Mason sighed and looked up at the ceiling. Was he okay? Physically, yes. Emotionally, no. “I’m fine guys, seriously. My mate is a hundred kilometres away and I have no clue when he’ll be back. I don’t know how I’m going to function without him; even for a few days. I didn’t want to admit to myself that I love and need him. But when he kissed me, I knew that I couldn’t let him go. But, I didn’t stop him from leaving.” He rolled his eyes, berating himself for his stupidity.

Jesse snorted. “And all it took was a kiss to make you realize this? If that’s the case, he should have kissed you a long time ago.”

Collin added, “You can always call him,. Hale gave us their numbers and I’m sure you have his number. Call him so you can at least talk to him or see him, they have Skype you know.”

Mason’s laugh lacked humour. “I don’t want to talk to him through a phone or Skype. I want to have him in my arms. Seeing him on Skype will drive me over the edge. I want to hold him in my arms.”

Jesse finally broke the silence a few minutes later when he asked, “So how many do you think they’ve killed?”

Collin shook his head. “To protect our kind from people who want to harm us? It doesn’t matter.”

Mason grabbed the plate from Jesse and took a snack. “You guys think he’ll end up killing his ex?”

Both Collin and Jesse looked at each other before Jesse spoke up. “Yes. Bastian doesn’t look like he tolerates people who make his life a living hell; especially those who come after him personally. Plus, he’s a Prince, he can’t let anyone get away with that.”

Jesse looked at the television for a few moments. “You have one hell of a mate, Mase. He’s exactly who you need. Someone who can love you like you deserve. Someone who isn’t afraid to speak his mind. He will be able to tame you. Oh, and I’m sure if he sees Josh hovering over him like a lost puppy again, he’ll do some real damage. Talk about possessiveness; he’s yours, Mason and you are his. The sooner you realize this, the better it can be for both of you. You are each other’s destiny.”

Just like a mom, having comfort food ready!

I think there's going to be a lot of drama before the boys are finally back together again.
