Chapter 10: Mate: Part 2
***Jane***
“I’m Kota,” he giggles, climbing off my lap.
“What’s your name mister?”
The boy grins back at me, not an ounce of judgment in his tiny body.
His pretty eyes sparkle with excitement as he waits patiently for my response.
I have been asked for my name many times in my lifetime, usually for unpleasant reasons, but never had anyone asked just for the simple reason of getting to know me.
My father asked me my name everyday growing up and everyday I disappointed him.
Last night, my own mate wanted my name so she could reject me.
And yet, this little boy with blue and brown eyes just wanted to know who the stranger in the bushes was.
His smile is infectious and as I stare silently at him, he furrows his brows and leans in close.
“Are you dead too?” He whispers, resting his chin in his hands.
“I know a dead person,” he hisses.
“Her name is Egg-Ness,” he adds matter of factly.
“She can’t hear.”
He suddenly stands close to my ear and shouts, “Can you hear me!?”
“Kota?”
We hear Talia call out and I place my hand over his mouth.
Kota.
“Hehe mommy”
Kota laughs when his mother walks right past us again without noticing our presence.
The little boy dusts off his hands and squeezes my cheeks together.
“I like you,” he laughs.
“Do you wanna play with me?”
He stares at me with his blue and brown eyes and for the first time in years, I feel completely at ease.
“Y-yes,” I whisper.
His grins, grabbing hold of my hand and dragging me out of the bushes.
“Come on!” He squeals.
“There are dragons chasing us! Mommy’s the princess. We have to save her!”
He pulls me in the direction that his mother had walked to and we stop just before Talia, her eyes narrowing to slits when she sees me with her son.
Oh dear Moon Goddess…I avoid her stare and shift uncomfortably on my feet, my legs itching to sprint out of there.I can feel my mate glaring at me and I try to run but Kota has a firm grip on my hand.
“Mommy look!” Kota smiles proudly at himself.
“I found a friend.His name is….”
He stops himself and looks up at me with a grin.
“What’s your name?”
Talia ignores me and grabs her son, ripping him out of my grip.She crouches down so that she’s at his eye level and looks at him sternly strangers! It’s dangerous!”
She snaps, the little boy’s lip quivering at the harshness of her voice.
“But mommy…”
“No buts, Kota,” she retorts, her cheeks slightly flushed in anger.
Her face softens when Kota’s eyes fill with tears and she takes a deep breath.
“Okay.Okay.I’m sorry, baby,” she whispers, pulling the boy to her chest and kissing his head.
“I’m sorry for yelling.I didn’t mean to.You just can’t talk to strangers like that, okay?” She sighs quietly.
Kota nods solemnly.
“I’m sorry,” he says, kissing her cheek.
