Chapter 174
Nathan’s Point of View
I was angry when Kate called Ethan and me stupid. I got up, and I could tell Ethan was worried I would lose control and harm Kate. He even got up, ready like I was going to harm her. I didn’t like that. I would never harm Kate. She was our fated mate. I would never, could never hurt her.
It’s crazy because if anyone else would have spoken to me, screamed at me the way she did, then they would have been punished. She was different. She was my mate, my love. Yes, it sounds crazy, but I was already in love with her.
Everyone was right when they said the mate bond changes a person because it sure changed me. In the past, it was just Ethan and me. Now, we had Kate, and she was the most important person to both of us.
The one thing I liked was that I could tell Kate wasn’t afraid of me. She didn’t stop even when I stood up. Then, she started to cry, and that made me feel terrible. She said we didn’t care about her, and that was why Ethan and I had slept with other women, knowing we would find our fated mate someday. I could tell it hurt her knowing that we had been with other women. That was understandable. If she had been with another man, I would be furious. I was sure Ethan and I would have killed whoever touched her.
Ethan quickly walked over to her and hugged her tightly. I just looked at her. I felt like shit for hurting her. No, that wasn’t what I planned to do when I slept with other women, but I should have thought about how she would feel once I met her. She was right. I was an idiot.
Ethan felt just as bad as I did. We both hurt our mate. Kate was sobbing in his arms, and that made me feel even worse.
"Kate, please don’t cry, Princess," Ethan said
"Yes, Love. Please don’t cry," I said as I walked over to them.
Kate pulled away from Ethan, and I knew that made him feel bad.
"I am not crying," Kate said, even though there were still tears and her eyes were red. We just looked at her, and she groaned in frustration.
"I don’t even know why I am acting like this. It’s this mate bond. It’s making me act out of my character. I don’t usually act like this," Kate said. I wanted to laugh. She didn’t usually act like this. I am the one acting out of character.
"It’s normal for you to feel upset with us for our past actions. I am sorry, Kate. You are right. I should have waited for you, but I didn’t. I feel terrible, and I hope you can forgive me," Ethan said
"So am I," I replied, and Ethan looked at me with a shocked expression. I was shocked myself. I wasn’t the type to apologize to anyone.
"Honestly, we didn’t know that we were going to find you. We have been waiting for twenty two years and hadn’t found you. I always wanted you. We always wanted you," I said, and Kate sighed
"I am taking this way too far. I am sorry for the way I acted. I am not going to lie, I am upset that you didn’t wait for me. It hurts. I hate thinking about those she wolves that you fucked. But you did it before meeting me so I shouldn’t act like that," Kate said
"You had good reason to be upset, Princess," Ethan said
"We didn’t mean to hurt you. I honestly wish I would have thought about how it would make you feel if I messed around. One thing I can say is that you will be the only one I am with in the future," I said
"Me too," Ethan replied, and Kate turned as red as a tomato. That made me smile. She was very fiesty but still innocent.
"We will kick any girl that slept with us out of the pack," I said
"No, you will not. You are not going to punish them for your actions. But if any of them fuck with me, I will handle them. I hope you know that," Kate said, and Ethan and I smiled.
"Yes, we do," Ethan and I said at the same time. I smiled. That must be a twin thing. I liked it.
"How about we go get some food. Dinner should be done by now. It would be nice for the pack’s new luna to eat dinner with them. Everyone would be happy," Ethan said
"Okay, but I am not the Lun..."
"Yes, you are," I replied before she could complete her sentence
"You are the only Luna the pack will ever have," Ethan added, and I agreed.
