That's Mikael's house, but there are more trees surrounding it ;)

Gabriela's POV

I turn around and I'm thrown to the floor by this blonde familiar guy.

"Nate." I grunt and he laughs hard and hugs me.

"Its so nice to have you here!" He mumbles and I hear him smell my hair.

"Nate. I c-" I grunted and gasped since it was becoming hard to breathe.

"Shit!" He cursed and in one swift motion, he stood up and picked me up off the floor. I was slightly dizzy so he held me tightly with one hand on my waist and the other in my arm.

"Woah." I say and shake my head trying to get rid of my dizziness.

"I'm sorry! I forgot that you're human and more fragile than us." He said very concerned and his eyes where filled with guiltiness.

"I'm okay." I laughed, hugged him and kissed his cheek when I pulled away and he blushed.

"So how are you?" He asks me.

"I'm okay." I half lie.

"No, really, how are you?" He asks which such seriousness that I almost broke down crying in frustration right there.

"Um...can we talk somewhere else?" I ask him and he nods understanding. He grabs my hand and leads me to a bench a few hundred feet away from the huge house we just were standing in. I don't think much of our hands connection, so I ignore it and sit next to him on the wooden bench.

"Okay. Now tell me." He says putting both our hands in his lap and starts playing with my hand.

"I'm....you could say frustrated." I tell him.

"Frustrated how?"

"I uh....its just.....okay, half of me wants to just run away and never look back, because that part of me feels like I've been kidnapped by a psycho/serial killer/rapist and that running away is the best option." At this Nate's eyes widen and he bursts out laughing so hard and loud that people passing by are giving us weird stares and a few are smiling.

"Y-you......you think.....psycho? Rapist? Hahahahahahaha! Mikael is anything, but that." He tells me trying to control his laughter.

"Well, I didn't know! In all the movies I've watched, the psycho looks normal at the beginning until the girl starts to trust him and that's when he gets all crazy and stuff." I started with a loud tone in my voice, but I mumbled the last part which made Nate laugh even more. So I stayed there for about five minutes just hearing Nate laugh historically while people passing by stared at us. I looked at the house and saw Mikael staring at us through the window were you can see the kitchen and he didn't looked happy at all.

"Uh.....Mikael is staring at us and he doesn't look happy at all." I tell Nate who abruptly stops laughing.

"Oh shit. I forgot that he can be very possessive and gets jealous easily." He mumbles and moves a little bit away from me and let's go of my hands.

"What do you mean?"

"Mikael had this little crush on a girl a few months ago, they never got to be a couple, they were just friends, but he was very possessive of her and will get jealous every time a guy talked with her to a point where he almost beated two guys to death."

"Oh. Really?" I asked shocked.

"Yeah. That's why I'm keeping my distance from you now. I don't want to die yet. I have a lot of shit that I want to do." He tells me with a laugh and I giggle a little.

"Oh. Okay." I tell him.

"So, back to what we were talking about. You said that half of you is freaking out and wants to run away, but what about the other half?" He asks me being serious again and I sigh giving a quick glance at Mikael who is still staring at us.

"I....I don't know. I feel like...I feel safe with him. When I'm with him, it feels like home. Yesterday we spent the while day together talking and hanging in the house like if we knew each other our whole lives. And I also feel this thing when I'm around him. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels pleasant; it feels good and I think that that's what keeping me from freaking out and running away. I want to get to know him and spend more time with him."

"Hmm." He replies and I keep talking.

"When he told me the whole werewolf and mates deal, I thought that this was some kind of joke and I even tried to get away from him, but he kept talking about it and somehow it made sense to me. I mean, back in school, my History teachers told us about werewolves, mates and the whole thing, but I thought that they were just stories, that they were myths like Hercules and the Greek gods. Now I'm seriously considering that the Greek gods do exist and also vampires and zombies and ghost and all that stuff." I mumble the last part and as expected, Nate bursts out laughing like a mad man and is now on the grass holding his stomach. Two minutes pass by and I see Mikael opening the front door.

"Oh my Moon goddess! I've never laughed this much in my shitty 22 years of existence. You my friend have a gift right there. Haha! Pheeww. Okay. Now I'm good. No Gabriela, those things doesn't exist, well, only ghosts, but the rest are pure myths. Vampires went extinct in the 1700s by hunters and a few of my kind."

"Oh." I say and look at the trees around.

"Listen. Give Mikael a chance. He's a great guy and your mate. He might be possessive, but he's not that bad, he's funny, smart and a big softy on the inside. That big façade of serious and mysterious guy is just to keep people away and to intimidate, so please try. He's been waiting for you for a long time."

"Okay."I agree and right after that Mikael clears his throat and we look up at him.

"Let's go Gabriela. Breakfast is ready." He tells me, but glares at Nate and grabs my hands and pulls me up.

"Bye Nate!" I tell him and he replies with a smile and a simple nod. Then Mikael holds my waist with both hands and walks behind me leading me back to the house.
