Are You My Mate? (Denai) novel Chapter 20

As we leave work after locking up, Dean pulls up causing Nelson to roll his eyes while he lets out a frustrated breath. "If you don't want her, let us have her" he says to an equally as annoyed looking Dean. "She is my mate, and my heart," he says as he smiles at me.

"Prove it," "I proved that last night," "Right baby?" he says as he grabs my hand. "Dean" I say embarrassed. "Is that all you have to offer her?" asks Nelson. "Like you could do better," "A million times better," he says with his signature smirk.

"You stay away from her, you freak!" "Deni baby, he might be lying about being gay just to be close to you," he says as he pulls me into a hug. "Dean he is gay, he just loves me" He looks at me surprised.

''He loves me as a friend" I say to correct myself. ''Stay away from her," "I work with her" he says as he crosses his arms. "Then I'll get you fired, " "She hired me" "Guys please," I say annoyed with their unfriendly banter.

"Baby I need to talk to you" "You need to talk with your parents" says Nelson. "No one is talking to you freak,'' "Dean please don't call him that" "It's fine Denai, my conscious is clear" he say as he shrugs. Dean tears up and he hugs me.

"I need your help and understanding baby" "They don't understand what I'm going through, only you do," "Help me to understand, because to me it seems like you have one choice, but you're too much of a coward to make it"

"You stupid bastard!" says Dean as he throws a punch at Nelson. "Guys!'' I yell as they start throwing fists. "Oh my Goddess, Nelson is hot," says Maggie with wide eyes. "Maggie help me," I say as I try to figure out how to separate them.

"Oh I'm not jumping in there," she says as she slowly shakes her head. "Stop it young men!" barks out Areta surprising me and them as well. ''It was Areta" I say as they looks at me with wide eyes. "You wouldn't listen to me" I add, slightly embarrassed by their stares.

''Will you come with me?" "Just for a little while, because I also need to speak to you" "You are not only hurting us both, but maybe your Luna as well" He looks at me surprised. "Let's go he says as he grabs my hand again.

"Call us if you need us," says Maggie. "If not, we'll see you at work in a couple of days, unless he feels like he needs to 'talk' again" say Nelson as he glares at Dean who returns his glare.

We pull up to his house and I look at him terrified. "I'm never going inside of your house again," "She might be here," "Did you bring me here to rub it into my face?!" "Is feeling like the laughing stock of our pack not enough?!" "You want to humiliate me even more!" I cry out to him, finally not being able to hold back my hurt and anger.

"D... Deni... baby, I would never try to intentionally hurt you'' ''I've just been working on something for us, but I'll show you when you it's finished okay baby,?" he says as he grabs my hand to squeeze it. I nod as I sniffle.

"Let's go to your house" he whispers as he cranks his car back up. I don't say anything, I just continue to weep as he holds on tightly to my hand.

"Baby, let's get something to eat" "I don't want anything Dean" "Okay we'll order something later'' he says as he lays down next to me in my bed. After hours of laying there with me crying and him rubbing my back, I fall asleep.
