I woke up the next morning bright and early as usual. I've just recently graduated and have not yet gotten use to sleeping in during summer, so I still wake up early as if I still have to go to school.
I do my morning stretches before hopping in the shower. Letting the hot water pour down my body, I stand and think about everything that happened yesterday. I've found my mate. I was so close to giving up, but I have a mate. I, Stella Maloley, have a mate!! Just the thought of it is crazy. But just thinking about my mate makes me upset because I can't tell anyone about him.
I get out of the shower after a long wash and some great thinking, grab a towel to wrap around my body and turn the water off. I walk back into my room to put on a pair of yoga pants and a simple T-shirt. I'm not going anywhere since I'm grounded, so might as well be comfortable.
I go downstairs to the kitchen to make some Oatmeal.
"Stella! That story you told your brother had him up all night." My mother scolded. "The poor boy didn't get any sleep."
I gran a bowl from the cabinet and start fixing my oatmeal. "He asked me to tell him a bedtime story, mom. Chris used to tell them to me before bed when I was around Sam's age."
Chris is my older cousin by 3 years that used to come over a lot when I was little. He was the one that told me the story of the legendary Rex. The story's a bunch of bull anyways. If it was real, then Rex would have to be a couple hundred years old and that's impossible because werewolves have to same life span of a normal human.
"I don't care, Stella." She says. "I don't want anymore Rex stories being told in this house. Understand?"
I sigh and nod my head. There's no point in arguing with her about this anymore.
I finish my oatmeal and go back to my room to think of something to keep me occupied til sunset.
***************
Rex's POVIt's been three hundred years and I've finally found my mate. Considering the life style that I live I didn't even think that I'd get a mate. Everyone deemed me as 'evil', but everything I do is for a reason.
My mate can't know who I am. I have to do everything to protect her. I know if she finds out that I'm the Rex that everyone's afraid of, she'll leave me. So, I have to be kind and gentle with her before I tell her about myself so that she'll stay with me.
Stella. That name just brings chills down my spine. She's the most beautiful woman I've seen I'm my life. I could sit in her scent forever. She smelt like white tea and ginger.
I can wait to see my little mate at sunset.

Stella POVAs it gets closer to the time that the sun sets I start to think of a plan on how I'm gonna sneak out of the house. My rooms on the second floor, but there's a tree right beside it. All I have to do is jump from my window to the tree and climb down to the ground. If it fails, then I'm dead.
Around 8:20 I start to climb out of my window. The tree is about four feet away, so I have to make a big leap. I take the leap and make it to the tree. I start to climb down the tree, landing on the ground. I look around to see if anybody is on watch. I make a run for into the woods. I have to be careful because make pack has people on patrol at this time.
I make it to the outskirts of my territory at 8:30. I walk out a little further to see if I could find John.
"John?" I whisper.
A pair of hands grab me from behind and flip me over to face them. "Hello, little one."
I blush. "Um, hey." I secretly loves it when he calls me little one.
He gives me a kiss on the forehead. "How are you?"
I wrap my arms around his neck and lay my head on his strong chest. I can hear his heart beat.
"I'm fine."I trail my left hand down the his chest and feel his muscles that hidden underneath his black T-shirt. He brings his hands up my arms and to my face. We both lean in. Oh my god. He's going to kiss me. I've been kissed before, just not by a man who looks like John does.
Right as our lips are about to touch and rustling of noise is made a couple feet away from us. John pushes me behind him and puts a finger up to his lips signaling me to be quiet.
He takes a few steps forward. "Show yourself."
A brown wolf slowly comes from behind a large tree.
John sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Adam, what the fuck are you doing here!?"
The wolf goes back behind the tree and comes back out a man thats about 5'10. He's well built, but not as much as John.
"Sir, we have a problem." The man, whose name is Adam states.
"Handle it. You can see that I'm busy." John nods his head in my direction. I blush and give Adam a small wave.
"I'm sorry, but sir, its an emergency involves another pack."
Another pack? Did he mean my pack? Now that I think about it, whose pack did John come from? He can't be a rouge because rouges don't have mates. But the next pack over isn't for a couple miles. Why didn't I think of this earlier!?
John turns towards me. "I'm sorry, love. We will have to meet another time."
"Um, I guess I'll go. You have business to attend to. See you later John?" I start to walk away after giving him a small wave.
As I walk away I can hear Adam asking who's John? And John mumble a don't worry about it.
