The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 622 - The Night Before It All Went To Shit

Chapter 622 – The Night Before It All Went To Shit

Darrien 

I am such a wuss for Jabi and he knows that. 

No one in their right mind would agree to this—well except me because I must have finally lost all my sense. 

Amber, my ex is standing in my living room. The woman that I didn't even want to talk about until recently. I silently prayed that she wouldn't agree to this meeting but who was I kidding. Of course, she would say yes to this. She would look for anything to get closer to me and Jabi thinks it is a good idea to do this. 

Rex told me to be honest but I didn't need to be about Amber because he already knew about it before I even said anything. 

Amber became a cloud over our heads the moment I mentioned her. He said he was okay with it but I wouldn't have been and I didn't expect him to just move on from it when I couldn't. 

She is here now but I still don't know what he could possibly want to say to her. When I first met Jabi, he couldn't even look me in the eye. He wasn't one to confront anyone, even if he had to and now, here he was laying claim on me. I should be proud. 

Right now, I am nervous as fuck. 

Three of us stand in the living room. I haven't said anything and neither has Amber. I didn't give her a reason as to why this was happening but she agreed to it immediately. The part of my mind that worries a lot keeps thinking that something will happen. I just can't believe her completely. Amber is selfish and Jabi seems to think that she has changed but I can't believe that. 

No one changes that easily. 

"Hi,'' Jabi manages and his voice is clear and very confident. 

Huh. 

"Hi?'' she responds as he walks closer to where she is. Amber isn't really here but her soul is. Her body is still in her house, so it will be easy for her to leave. Oh how I am praying that she leaves peacefully. 

"I am Jabi,'' he stretches his hand out, I don't think he has realized that she can't touch him, at least unless she wants to "Oh, you are not really here,'' he adds once he figures it out. 

There is a smile on his face. 

"I have heard all about you. Darrien can't seem to stop talking about you,'' she smiles. 

I haven't even said anything to her about him—okay maybe I have but it's not like we have been having conversations about my life like she is making it seem. 

"Oh, that's nice. I have heard a lot about you too. Thank you for coming through.''

Wow. 

This is going very civil.

"I would do anything for Darrien." 

Oh shit. 

Not the best thing to say to my partner. I see the flash of jealousy as it swarms his eyes and I expected that but I also expect him to react out rightly but he doesn't. I hear the quiet sigh, it is so low that I wouldn't have heard it if I wasn't paying attention but I am paying attention to him. 

I always pay attention to him. 

Amber is here now but Jabi is the only one I can focus on. He will always be the only one. 

Nobody can change that. 

"Anyone that is a friend to Dar, is a friend to me. As long as you know that nothing and no one, can try to even take him away from me. I don't have a problem with any of this. I don't have any issues with you." 

"I don't want to take him from you. I have always known that you existed. Even before he did.'' 

I look at her immediately because I can't understand what she is saying. 

"What?'' I ask, speaking up for the first time since she came here. 

She turns to me. 

"You might have not known who your mate is, but I knew. I saw him that night that you found out.'' 

My heart stops in my chest. 

Okay. 

I didn't know this. 

The night I found out about the spell she was making. The night I found out that she was trying to block me from finding my mate. I left her. I didn't say anything to her. 

I didn't care about the times we spent together. 

I didn't care that I loved her. 

Nothing else mattered but Jabi—even though I didn't know him then.

"I wasn't going to go through with it. I was going to let you go,'' she says slowly. I don't even think her words are registering. I am trying to comprehend it all but my mind is in a daze. 

"What are you talking about Amber?'' 

I call her name coldly. 

She walks over to me, moving away from Jabi. My eyes dart back to him. I need to make sure that this is okay. I don't want to have this conversation if he is not comfortable. 

He smiles at me, slowly nodding. 

"You said you were okay with being with me. You didn't like waiting for your link and I was happy about that because I loved you and you loved me. I let it get to my head. That night, when you told me that you wouldn't mind if you didn't find her. I thought that was you giving me permission." 

I didn't mean it like that. 

I was happy with her but I still wanted what my brothers had. 

I just didn't want to hurt her. 

"You didn't ask me, you would have just done it." 

She shakes her head "No, I didn't go through with it. I spent months looking for a way. I finally found one but I couldn't do it. I couldn't take that away from you.'' 

"I saw it all. You kept the materials." 

She nods "Yes that was before I checked. Before I saw your future. Before I saw him and how happy he would make you. I wasn't going to take that away from you. I wasn't.'' she shakes her head incessantly and my heart shatters. 

Shit.
