Today is Valentine's day, my birthday. I won't be celebrating with my family or boyfriend though. We need to get ready for when my Mate finds his way to me. When the sun goes down, I will be filled with a great feeling of loneliness, until he comes and sees me for the first time.
Ayden comes over right after school, and at first my family doesn't approve.
"I trust he won't blow our secret and all, but this isn't his world, you two need to say goodbye," CLarissa says.
"I refuse to do that," I tell her. "I love him."
Ayden takes my hand, and together we wait.
Sun goes down
My mom wasn't kidding. This feeling of loneliness is worse than anything I've ever felt in my life. Everyone is around to comfort me, but it's not enough. I really do need my Mate, or I don't know how much longer I will be able to last.
An hour has gone by, and there is still no sign of him. My Mate, my other half.
"Everyone, out," Kai says. "I won't watch her feel this sadness anymore. Ayden, you should comfort her."
The grown ups leave, (Wyatt was in his room the whole time), and Ayden looks at me.
"Promise me you will choose me over him," he tells me.
"Of course I will," I tell him. Then he lays next to me in bed and his lips come to meet mine.
It had to have been around three in the morning by the time I could smell another of my kind near.
He's here, Luna says.
I know, I tell her.
I hear the front door open, and Kai greets him, but I can hear that he isn't in a happy mood.
"Why do I smell a living human?" He asks.
"It's the girls boyfriend," I hear Kai say.
"What's her name?"
"Brooke."
Suddenly, my bedroom door opens, and I meet the eyes of the wolf. They say that when you find your mate, you can see your reflection staring back at you in their eyes. That's what I saw, except Ayden was still on top of me.
"Get off her!" My mate yells at Ayden.
Ayden turns around and sees him. "No," he tells him, "she's mine. I'm her boyfriend."
"Well I'm her mate," he tells her.
"She doesn't know you."
"But she will."
Suddenly the man strides over to the bed and pulls him off, holding him by his shoulders and staring into his eyes.
"Don't you dare hurt him!" I yell at him.
"But you're mine, and he's just a human!"
"I don't care, I loved him first."
I see his face grow sad, and he drops Ayden from his hold, sending him falling to the ground.
Ayden stands up, but the other guy just says, "Leave the room, and I won't hurt you."
Ayden looks at me, and when I look at him I say, "Just go find my family, I'll be out soon."
He gives one final look of hatred to the man, then storms off, slamming the door behind him.
It was then that I finally get a closer look of my Mate. I find a way to cloud my reflection in his eyes, so I see the color of them. They are a baby blue color, and his hair is a nice shade of blonde.
"You look pretty old," I tell him.
"I'm only two years older than you," he says.
I don't say anything for a while, so he just walks to the side of my bed. My feeling of loneliness is still in me.
"My name is Prince Stefan Knight-"
"Wait, prince? Seriously?" I cut him off.
"Yes, and you are my princess," he tells me.
"I don't like the way you treated my boyfriend."
"I don't like the fact that you have a boyfriend."
"Well, get over it."
He sighs and says, "Fine, for now. You will come around eventually."
"Doubt it," I tell him. "I'm not interested in being with someone that treats others like a piece of shit. What am I supposed to think about the way you'll treat me?"
"It's a part of a wolfs nature to be possessive, I can't help that!"
"Well," I began, "you should really learn to control yourself."
We are quite for a while, and eventaully Stefan says, "I can feel your wolf calling out to me. Let me help ease your pain."
Yes! Let him!
No!
But I give in anyway. "Fine, you have five minutes. Then I want you to leave the room and send Ayden back in."
I hear him growl, but then he pulls out the covers, and lays next to me. He holds me close to him and says, "Come here."
Of course I don't want to. I would never cheat on Ayden, but the pain is too much to bare anymore! Is it really cheating if I let him ease my pain then send him away?
Suddenly his lips come down on mine, and I find my pain is receding into nothing, leaving behind a feeling of warmth and hapiness. I feel like crap for letting myself feel this way, but I know I can't control it.
Stefan suddenly moves his hand to my leg, and spreads them apart. I feel his hand finding his way up the inside of my leg, but I find I don't care. He hikes up my skirt, and pulls my underwear down, and suddenly I'm pleasured like I've never been pleasured before.
