Rejected Mate's Redemption (Freda and James)

Mates 106

Chapter 106 FREIDA WHITLOCK “Thank you, Cole,” I managed to say as I felt chills run down my spine. It wasn’t the good chills. Had I made a mistake? I gazed at Cole as we headed to the kitchen so he would make a refill. He was in good spirits and I could tell it was because of what I had told him. I couldn’t help but wonder how Kaiden would have felt that’s if he had seen the letter. “I should be thankful to you for letting me do this, Freda. I’m glad you trust me this much” He looked at me and then continued what he was doing “The award party is in a few days so we should go over some things,” I said and he looked away from the jug he was filling, paying attention to me. “It’s nothing serious, I just hope you follow my lead. There should be no room for awkward interactions that would raise suspicions. The teachers of that school are quite smart” He nodded “It should be natural for Cisco. He shouldn’t be able to see through our act” I added, inwardly laughing at myself. This was such a lowly thing to do yet I had to because my mate, Cisco’s father had his family to worry about and I doubted he could make it. “I understand your point,” Cole said and I heaved. Chapter 106 1208 Vouchers “Thanks and I’m sorry I am acting paranoid” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. This was a difficult choice to make and the fact that I was feeling bad about it made it ten times worse so much so that I wished there was nothing like such a ceremony in existence. Argh! As though he could sense my turmoil, Cole rounded the counter and stood beside me. He held my hand and squeezed it softly “You don’t have to be sorry Freeds, I know you’re worried about Cisco, and I truly get your point. I’ll

do all I can to make the day worth it for you and Cisco, I promise” He said, his voice soft, filled with concern. The proximity made my stomach flutter. He is such a charm. Gia snarled in my head and I subconsciously took my hand out of his. “I called him. Um, Kaiden,” I said, awkwardly and his brows shot. up “What did he say?” “He hasn’t responded yet” Cole gave me a confused look, “He missed the call” I explained quickly to rid him of any skepticism. “I can’t believe that man,” He said through gritted teeth, whilst shaking his head. As I watched him, I couldn’t help but think how similar his actions were to Lyra’s. My eyes narrowed on him and I wondered if Lyra was serious about being into him. It could be a crush. Cole is a handsome and very likable person so it’s not surprising if she feels that way. 09.061 I shook my head to get rid of the thought of them together. There was something else weighing on my mind. Kaiden. How would he react if he saw Cole there in his place? What I did know was how mad he would be about it. Very. But then what would he do to Cole who would be hovering around his pup? ‘Now, you feel he will attend the party’ Gia’s mocking voice rang through my head and I huffed looking at Cole who was going on about how less of a man Kaiden was. I cut him off. “But that is not the problem though. I’m worried about what might happen if he does attend the function” “If he hasn’t returned your calls then I don’t think he’d have any idea about it,” Cole shrugged. “No, he will,” I said quickly and even if he had questions as to how I was sure, he didn’t inquire, he only nodded thoughtfully and I was grateful for that. “Even if he comes around, everything will be fine, Freda. You need to stop worrying so much. We ought to be in our very best mood for Cisco’s sake, we’ll worry about other things when the time

comes” He said and it sounded like Lyra speaking through him. I mentally face-palmed. “I trust you Cole but I know Kaiden as well. It’s going to be quite tense and disturbing” I said with my eyes pleading silently that he wouldn’t end up confronting Kaiden if anything of such happened. Chapter 106 Cole leaned away from the counter, “It’s going to be about Francisco, no matter who else is present, I promise. You just stop worrying and get some rest” He said with a smile and I mirrored the look “Thanks for everything Cole, I owe you” “You don’t, Freda. I’d do anything for you and Cisco no matter what it takes, okay?” He said and a heat rose to my cheeks. “Now, you’re being cheesy,” I said with a chuckle, shaking my head. “I’m cheesy all the time, you have no idea” He bragged as he picked up the filled jug. We laughed, making our way to our respective rooms. “Goodnight,” He said to me when we got to his door and I smiled, “Goodnight” I headed to my room afterward, glad that he and I were on the same page about the event and it being about Cisco. I knew Cole would do his best to make it worth it but I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about Kaiden’s reaction. Things might’ve been settled here but with him, it could go. South, and being the one between both men wasn’t on my wishlist. ‘Oh really, but you just asked the human to be your date’ Gia’s malicious voice sounded. She was still sulking and I knew her dislike for Cole had tripled. 群 ‘I didn’t ask him to be my date. He’s doing this for Cisco,’ I argued. Chapter 106 ‘I know you’re sensible enough to know that that’s the half-truth. He likes you and our mate knows. If our mate sees him with. you, it’s going be a terrible day for him’ Gia explained amid her excited

twirls in my head. ‘Can you just stop, you’re stressing me out’ I snapped and she laughed ‘I’m not. You should’ve just listened to me but no, so deal with it’ ‘I’m supposed to be sleeping, not letting you instill fear in me’ I shot back and cut off our link. So much for a wolf! I plopped on the bed wearily, hating the fact that her words did make sense. I had to prepare for the worst because, with Kaiden’s untamed temper, anything could happen. I laid down in the bed, unable to sleep, and ended up face up staring at the ceiling, ‘Moon goddess, why do you do this to me all the time?’Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
