A silver promise

Chapter 8: Return to me

Silvers P.O.V:

I step out of the shower feeling super refreshed and calm, that man was just gorgeous and I mean gorgeous and he smelled like home, whatever that means. And not the cages and training grounds home, a distant memory stirred up by the smell of the godly man I was to kill. 

I get dressed into my outfit for the day as it is still before lunch time, if my job is to seduce him then I'll use a mixture of cute and hot to do it. Men like legs, right? I hope so because mine are quite visible.

I quickly skip down the skills, trying to plant a massive smile on my face . When I see the handsome man leaning against the kitchen counter talking to a pretty girl around my age, with short blonde hair and bangs, I feel my heart sink. I put on a brave face and continue to walk towards them. Seducing him is going to be harder than I thought, he seems to have a girlfriend already.

As soon as he sees me, he smiles and the blonde girl hops of the stool and walks away without talking to me, he doesn't watch her go. "Silver, wow, you look amazing" he says sweetly.

"Thank you, um I still don't know your name" I say, fooling him easily.

"Oh shit, sorry, my name is Tobias, or Toby for my friends" he says hurriedly.

"And are we friends Toby?" I ask in what I think is a seductive tone as I go to place my hand on his arm. As soon as I touch his skin, sparks fly up my arm bringing my mind straight to the shock collar, I rip my hand away from him and up to my throat as if he has burned me. 

Surprise covers his face and I scurry back up the stairs to my room, shut the door and crawl under the covers, enough socialising for me today. As I lose my consciousness to the softness of the comforters, I imagine his face at the moment I touched him, yes there was shock but there was something else.

Lust, I'm sure of it.

It's the same look the man gave me before I punctured his lung.

Tobias's P.O.V:

Oh my god, she touched me. She is so soft, so gentle. And those sparks? all the fairy tales are true, I want nothing more than to hold her and relish in her touch as the sparks would spread everywhere she let her soft skin touch me. 

I wanted to sit here and dream of her touch but something was wrong, why did she run away like that? she shouldn't have felt the sparks enough to make her want to run away, she's only human after all. So why did she run?

I'll have to ask her, I head up the stairs to her room and knock, not hearing anything I gently open the door to check on her. I can't help the smile that spreads to my face as the image of my soft mate sprawled out on my bed, meets my eyes. 

Not wanting to wake her, I quietly shut the door behind me and head to my office where I knew my dad would want to meet. No more mate, I needed to be an alpha for now, just while she sleeps.

I mind link my dad to meet me in my office, only to be notified that he's already there and waiting for me. So I don't wait before stepping into the room with big windows and an amazing view of my town. 

"Tobias, I know she is your mate" he says, getting straight to the point.

"I know, dad, what do I do" I sigh frustrated "we aren't supposed to accept human mates, not in such a high up position"

My dad looks at me with sympathy in his eyes and I know he's silently telling me that he can't make this decision for me. He waits a little longer before saying "She's beautiful Tobias, no matter what you decide, just remember that the Moon Goddess has a plan for all of us and obviously she favours you".

I smile a little at that "she definitely is beautiful, isn't she?"

It's not long after this exchange that I feel extreme pain in my head, nothing like I've ever felt before and I hear the screaming from what seems to be my mate. I get up too quickly and immediately crash back down to the floor, what is hurting me this bad.

"Dad, take me to her, please" I plead.

And he does, she's curled up in her bed sweating profusely and crying her eyes out, without even thinking I reach forward and grab her, pulling into my body for some sort of relief for both of us.

She quietens down and my pain all but disappears, and with only a small whimper or two leaving her mouth, I fall asleep, holding my Silver.
