In the night

my mate

~Jax~

I growled as I threw the flowers into the trash can I’ve been trying to get her to say yes to a single date with me for over a month now. The whole pack has, yet she continues to refuse us not to mention I’ve been doing some research every rogue that get towards her home gets badly burned but the pack has yet to get hurt there. Was it some sort of secret weapon that she used? Or was it a perimeter thing?

I walked around my room thinking. Ok so flowers, sweet talk don’t work on her and why was it so infuriating when the other packs talk to her!! I paced my room some more what could I do to gain her attention. I needed a walk. I walked down stairs seeing Josh fixing his hair in the mirror the whole pack as a bet on who she’ll say yes to. Most of the money is on me, Liam and Josh. I walked past them and into the outdoors. I ran into the forest and headed to town. As I reached the main road I saw her skipping down the road with two people following her.

“alright so after work were going exploring got it?” the guy stated his name was Johnny. He hung out with her the most along with the girl Savanna. I watched as my girl turned and said “no worries I get off work at six.” Work? Where does she work… hmmm. I followed them as the girl Savanna walked the opposite way Johnny walked with Vesta and they started to chat about random things until they came to a mechanic shop he waved and walked in. She walked to the library and then inside. She’s a librarian? Did not see that one coming.

I walked into the library and sat at a table with a random book in my hands. As I sat down I opened the book and watched as Vesta pulled her hair up off her neck and into a messy bun, she pulled on a faded blue button up blouse. She sat at the desk and typed on the computer. As she worked I watched as some strands of her hair fell into her eyes. She looked like she could be one of those sexy librarians.

I licked my lips just thinking about it. She would be a hot sexy librarian. I watched as she walked down a row of books she pulled some books off the shelves and then walked back to her desk she did this for hours once in a while she would check the drop off bin under the desk to her left but other than that she was on the computer doing mostly nothing unless someone walked in asking for help to find a book.

After six hours of doing nothing she got up took off the blouse and let her hair down as the next librarian walked in. They smiled at each other and she headed out. I got up and followed her dropping the book I had in the return bin. As I walked out she was right in front of me. “why are you following me?” she asked dam I was caught. “I-I wasn’t following you.” I stated she smirked and said “you sure as hell wasn’t reading the same book for six hours.” I scratched the back of my neck… why did I feel so insecure with her around…

Why did I feel like I needed to impress her, that I needed to be with her… out of all the people why her? My eyes widened, ooh shit… I was deathly attracted to her, I was compelled to keep her safe… she was… my mate. My soul mate was a human that was killed rogues. I let out a breath I was holding as I stared into her eyes. They were a deep brown but deep in those eyes was like looking into a fire… they went on forever and just sucked me in. Now I understood. Now I knew why when the other alpha sons were hitting on her I got angry, why when she rejected me over and over it was more and more compelling to gain her love. Why when Josh talked about her being stubborn I defended her. Why after all this time I tried and tried again to gain her love.

Why when I was near her I became nervous, almost like my first crush. It all made sense now, Vesta was my alpha female the glue to my pack, she was human yet she was my alpha female. I stepped back from her. My mate was a human? A lowly human? This had to be a mistake. She tilted her head to the side looking at me and I shook my mind of how cute she looked. My mate couldn’t be a weak human. She just couldn’t be!

My mate was supposed to be strong she was supposed to protect my pack with me a human can’t do that! She has to be powerful! A strong alpha! I turned away from Vesta and walked away. She was not my mate. She couldn’t be. I stopped walking and turned around seeing her walking away as if I was never there… how could she ignore that bond mates have! I growled if she was my mate then she had to be special? Right? She had to feel that bond why was I the only one feeling it? What was she!

~Vesta~

I reached the trail and saw Johnny waiting. “hey girl ready?” he held up a flash light. I nodded then Savanna walked over with her flash light. When I was younger we found this old cave in the ground and we go there a lot well Johnny does. You see on the cave walls are drawings and one is of a stick figure with fire coming out of the hands. Like me. Johnny thinks it’s an ancient thing about me. Like a prophecy or something.

We walked to the cave and I went in first. Johnny started filming the drawings once again. I sighed and walked farther into the cave. Savanna was making up a story about the drawings as Johnny filmed. “there once was a great fire god that live long ago.. with alive he was cursed to live again..” I laughed at her fake narrator voice. I walked on until I slipped and went down. “V!!” I heard Savanna shout. “are you ok!” I looked up seeing a hole I fell in just my size too. Great. “yeah I’m ok.” I replied. “what’s down there!!” Johnny asked. “darkness!!” I shouted back and then created a small fire in my hands. I walked along the cave floor and saw more drawings on the walls.

One of a fire person and another of a guy with a dog. It was like a story, one picture of them together another of them hugging. The last one looked like kissing… there was more but it was faded off the walls. Dang. “there’s some more drawings down here!” I shouted. Johnny then said “catch the camera!!” I did and filmed them for Johnny and Sav. As I recorded to the end I turned it off and climbed out. “cool secret part of the story.” Sav stated I rolled my eyes at her.
