CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
Rohan's pov
Camilla has been bothering me a lot today, she has a lot to say for someone that was ordered to stay out of my relationship by me. She has been pressuring me to tell Avilla the truth for a while now and while I get she is trying to help her friend but she needs to understand that I plan on doing this all by myself at the right time.
"Come on Rohan! Put yourself out of this misery and just tell her!" She insisted.
"Camilla for the hundredth time, stay the hell out of it" I warned her.
Ever since she saw me in my parent's house, she has been talking about it and I was tired of listening to her yap about doing the right thing. She was obviously overestimating her friend on the ability of taking something like this. Humans are known for their lack of understanding when it comes to our kind and I expected the same from Avilla. She was part of them and I will get the same reaction when I reveal my true form.
I was certain she would overreact and I would end up regretting ever meeting her, I didn't want to ever feel that way. I hate the fact that she is human, it is kind of a down payment on what I ordered from the moon goddess. It was disappointing but I was going to make the most of it.
"I think you may be overreacting over this, Avilla is cool" she insisted.
"Yeah until I tell her that I turn into an animal, then what?" I asked.
"Then you let her be the judge of that" she said.
"So why haven't you told Mitchell about you?" I asked her.
Um..." she trailed off, she was short of words. Typical Camilla, trying to get me to do something she doesn't have the guts to do.
"That's what I thought, you don't have the guts to do so either so lay off my case" I snapped at her.
"Don't snap at me, I was just trying to help" she said sternly.
"Don't tell me what to do, focus in your own mate and leave us the hell alone" I told her angrily before walking off.
She was so annoying, and she was beginning to piss me off with this constant worry and pleas on behalf of her best friend. I think she was beginning to forget where her loyalty lies.
And I didn't think I needed to be taught on how to follow through with my mate from her or anyone else for that matter. I was going to approach this matter in a way that I see fit.
My dad has tried so many times to advise me on how I should tell her, he said.
'Son, I need you to listen very carefully, women are like fragile glass and you need to carry them like they are one. When I told your mother, it just came out because we were having an argument and it was a pretty serious fight about my behavior lately. I said it regardless of her feelings and I understood why she left me the way she did. She was shocked and that prompted her decision.
Now, seeing as you and Avilla are getting close, it is time to tell her about your secret and you might want to ease into it. Don't just blurt it out for her and expect her to be okay with it. You can ease into it gently and that way she can be more accepting to it than your mom." He had told me this when I came to him for advice.
I didn't want anybody meddling in my relationship any more than I want to mess up this thing between Avilla and me.
I messed up and I didn't want to mess up again because something tells me she wouldn't be so forgiving this time. I mean I mentioned Sophia one time, the werewolf girlfriend I had and she nearly went bananas.
I didn't exactly use the word, werewolf but she got pissed because I mentioned another girl. I understood her plight, I wouldn't be so happy if she mentioned another guy in her life. I wanted to be the only guy in her life and in her space.
I wanted to be the only guy that makes her smile and give her anything that she needs.
He wanted to be her one in all and he was going to ensure that happens. He has never felt this sort of attraction for someone he wasn't particularly sure he wanted to be with. That was why he rejected her in the first place.
He knew it was vain that he rejected her just because she is human and he was sure that alone would get her so fucking pissed at him when she finds out that the reason why.
He needed to figure out a way to tell her without scaring her off. It was the only reason why he has kept quiet for such a long time when things have been going well between them.
His wolf was content with the way things were going and frankly so was he. They have been getting along lately, Ragnar wasn't sarcastic and he wasn't an asshole to me anymore. We patched things up after I apologized to Avilla and begged for a second chance.
We were back to normal and all because he gets to be with his mate every day of the week, one thing he doesn't like is the constant affection Ben shows Avilla each time he sees her. He knows that they meet up to hangout and he didn't like that, he tried talking to Avilla but she wouldn't listen insisting that Ben is a nice guy.
I won't deny that, he is a nice guy and that is why he is my best friend but I needed to draw a line if he was going to keep getting closer to her at the risk of having his heart broken by her when she chooses me because she has no choice.
I didn't know how to tell Ben to stay away from Avilla in the nicest way possible but I was going to make that happen because I needed my mate to be just for me alone and I didn't need another male fighting me for my mate's attention at all.
Not going to happen.
