Chapter 18

***

I'd made my decision. I would continue to wait for Aspen until she was mature enough and genuinely ready to be my mate.

My heart was pounding heavily in my chest as I stood in the hall outside the bathroom. It had been so close. I had nearly given in and taken what she so innocently offered to me.

I wanted to run, to run as far as possible from Spruce Hollow and get away from Aspen for a while. Through no fault of her own, she was killing me and I was miserable inside.

I leaned with my back against the wall and frantically ran my hands through my hair. My mind was careening from Aspen’s admission that she’d had feelings for me. What had possessed her to say such a thing as she stood in front of me wearing only her bra and panties?

The alcohol swimming in her veins, that’s what. I couldn’t believe how brazen and unafraid she’d been as she’d looked me right in the eyes and let the words spill from her beautiful pouty lips. Ahh, alcohol, the great lowerer of inhibitions.

While I had no doubt that she did like me and had romantic feelings of some kind for me as she had followed me around constantly like a little, lost puppy dog, from the time she was six years old, she was still only a teenager and teenagers were notably unpredictable and flippant in their romantic affections for one another.

What had ultimately swayed my decision to walk out of the bathroom was the fact that if I did take her as my mate and bit her and turned her Were right now, she’d still be a sixteen year old Were with a Were metabolism and therefore would take even longer to age. So, I needed her to stay human for a little while longer yet.

Besides, when she was truly old enough and ready for me, she wouldn’t just be telling me that she “liked me”. She would be begging me to change her, to mate with her and to be mine in every sense of the word.

The sound of Aspen throwing up in the shower cleared my head and brought me back to the present.

“Roan?” she called out weakly.

“What Aspen?” I said as I cracked open the door.

“Can you help me, I need a towel and I don’t know if I can get out of the bathtub because the room is spinning,” she said.

I stalked back into the bathroom and pulled back a portion of the shower curtain to check on her. She was completely naked and plastered against the shower wall in an attempt to keep herself upright.

At least her hair smelled cleaner and the slutty makeup was completely gone.

“You’re completely plastered, aren’t you?” I said as I picked up a fluffy white towel from a wicker basket on the floor and proceeded to wrap it around her, while trying not to stare at her intimately or give her any indication that I was interested
