Surrender -Under Re-Write

3

We stared a each other unmoving. I don't think either of us really knew what to do.

I think if this was a normal mates meeting situation I'd run to his arms and never let go, but it wasn't that black and white. This would tear Maya apart.

I'm ripped from my thoughts when I feel a shoulder bump harshly against mine making me drop my drink on myself as I fall back on the ground.

I land on my ass with a hard thump and stare down at my red stained dress.

"Oh god I'm so sorry!"

A boy about my age crouches down in front of me and helps me stand to my feet. His hands rest on my waist as he helps me steady myself on my wobbling legs.

"It's okay" I smile embarrassingly at the guy who still has his hands on my waist...

I cough is heard from behind him and he steps aside.

Danny stands there with anger clearly written all over his face as he walks passed the boy and wraps a protective arm around my waist.

Goosebumps erupt all over my skin at the touch, and my heart rate slightly picks up. I can't help but swoon at the sight of his muscular arm wrapped around me. God this is intense.

"Sorry man... I didn't mean to-"

"You can go now." Danny says cutting him off.

The boy nods and walks away awkwardly and I step out of Danny's grasp. I take notice of the frown on his face as I remove myself from his touch.

"That was kind of rude." I remark.

Danny's eyebrows furrow at my comment, and I definitely don't miss the twitch of his very sharp jaw.

I really need to stop.

"Well I didn't like how he had his hands on my mate." He bites back.

I raise my eyebrows at his very possessive response.

"Well for starters I am my own person before I am your mate. And it was an accident. He was just being helpful." I say crossing my arms over my chest.

He smirks at my defiance, but it drops suddenly as he looks at something behind me.

"Come with me." He says taking my hand in his and leading me away from the crowd around us and towards the inside of the house.

Once again I'm rendered speechless at the sparks that emit from our touching hands. He lets me go once he shuts the door behind us and I frown at the lost contact. God I didn't know meeting my mate would make me so mushy.

"So..." he starts

I take a deep breath in and look anywhere but his eyes. Since we had recognized each other as mates I already started to feel the affects of it kicking in. Starting with our ability to sense each other's emotions. He was nervous and guilty. As was I.

"So..." I say clearing my throat.

"I'm sorry for this." He says quietly.

Well I wasn't expecting that. "For what?"

"I don't mean for it to sound as bad as it does but I'm sorry for what happened between Maya and I."

My eyes widen at his confession. I definitely see what he means by it sounding bad because it does, but I understand what he means.

"I saw her at the pack meeting and I just felt a connection. And ever since I met you for the first time I had wondered if I had gotten it wrong but I didn't want to hurt Maya..." he trails off.
