Okay. You can do this. He's just a boy, he's just a friends...he's just your boyfriend. Your first boyfriend, first kiss.

Oh god. How the hell am I going to do this?

Adam is sweet and kind and possessive but in the way that every girl wants their boyfriend to be. He was so good to me and even though we both knew this day would come, I didn't realise it would hurt so much to just end things.

"Hey babe," Adam greeted with the same smile as always. I cringed at the word, like I never had before. My wolf was irked by the affection, craving only our mate's.

"Hi." I pathetically whispered back. We sat down on the long oak bench just outside the borders of my house.

I couldn't do it my house, not with all the people, not with Lucien prowling around the corner. The least Adam deserved was privacy.

"What's wrong? You look upset." As he reached out to stroke my cheek, I couldn't help but move back. He froze, clenching his jaw.

"I'm sorry." I buried my head into my hands and sighed. "Everything is just so confusing right now and I'm so scared."

"Of what?"

"Everything. How I feel, how I'm supposed to feel, you, him, moving..."

"Wait, you're moving?" I nodded solemnly.

"In four days."

"Four? That fucking bastard." He made to move towards the house but I gripped his arm and tugged him back.

"Don't. Adam, he's my mate."

"So?" His eyes flared pure black, the way mine did when we were about to shift. Dropping his arm, I recoiled and the harsh sound of his voice.

"We both said that if we ever found out mates then we would end this. We would give our mates everything and try."

"That was before."

I sighed heavily. "Before what."

"Before I fell in love with you!" He snarled.

My heart stilled deep inside my chest, and fear flooded in, as I took sight of his sharp elongated claws and canines that threatened to push out.

"Adam, you don't love me."

"Yes I do." He didn't. I knew Adam like the back of my head, and had always known that one of the reason he chose me and not Sabine is because I'm the Alpha's daughter.

I didn't care because he liked me as well, I didn't care because he wanted me, but love? Our relationship was never love, it was barely lust, we were clear friends trapped in a relationship we should have never have been in.

"Adam," I warned, slowly standing up to meet his stance. "This is not love, this is not what you deserve. One day, you're mate will find you and it'll be the best day of your life and you will thank for ending this now."

As I turned to leave, his hand shot out to grab my wrist. I winced at the sharp metallic tang that arose in the air and the burning sensation imbedded deep into my skin.

Adam stared at her blood dripping from my forearm and dropped it rapidly, claws quickly retracting. I looked up at him, warily stepping back from the boy I hardly recognised anymore.

"You can't leave Lola." He threatened with a menacing growl that followed. With that, he shifted and launched himself into the deep forrest before me.
