The Mermaid Mate

Chapter 5: Stupid Wolf Magic

"I'm a werewolf"

I wasn't sure how what kind of reaction he wanted out of me but I kept my expression blank waiting for him to add on to his statement. I wasn't surprised though. I could tell he was different from the time I couldn't read his mind. Even now, he was keeping his thoughts to himself but I could feel what he was feeling. Anxiety, worry, fear and love. I don't understand. What was he scared of. Shouldn't I be the one afraid of him?

"Don't you believe me? I'll show you. Promise me not to scream or run, alright?" he looked anxious.

I nodded. I didn't fear him. I could tell he didn't mean me any harm. He stood in front of the locked classroom door and suddenly a large black wolf stood in front of me. He was magnificent. His silver eyes shone brighter than before and reflected his anxiety. His front upper right thigh had three white raindrop looking patches, side by side. I stared at him in awe but kept my poker face on.

He shifted back into the gorgeous boy he was. "Well? Aren't you freaked out?"

"Well what? Was I supposed to be freaked out? What has you being a werewolf got to do with me?" I asked.

"You're my mate." He said in all seriousness. What in the world. I was his mate. I've heard of it. DID THAT MEAN THAT I HAD TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH THIS CREEP? NO NO NO NO NO. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. I don't even like him.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked just to confirm my thoughts.

"It means that you are mine and I am yours. We are destined for each other. If you touch me you will feel what I mean." He answered. I reached out to touch his hand and true enough, I could feel tiny sparks going through my fingertips as if I had been electrocuted .But this feeling was addictive like a drug. I snapped my hand away. I just freaking met this guy what does he want from me?

As if answering to my thoughts, he said "When a wolf meets his mate, they're supposed to mark each other and complete the mating process. Marking you is basically me biting you in the neck and claiming you as mine to other wolves whereas the mating process is simply put, having sex. But don't worry, I won't do any of these without your consent of course.Until the process is completed , we will feel a strong attraction for each other, but with every process that's completed, we will have a stronger bond and a stronger attraction. Mating will make us stronger too. "

I remained silent. I doubted I could run away from him so I guess I'll just have to get to know him better? Hopeful he's not a real creep. On a positive note, he didn't try to do anything funny while locking us into this classroom. I hated to admit it but I already liked him. Must be this weird wolf magic thing. Urgh how frustrating. We spent the rest of the school day in the classroom talking about what werewolves really are like. Turns out they are very territorial creatures and don't take well to threats. Easily angered. I duly noted that I shouldn't make him angry. Werewolves are also able to find their mate after they have turned 18 just by simply touching them.

"Why didn't you run away when I shifted into a wolf?" I figured since he told me his identity, I should show him too. I don't believe in beating around the bush, plus I already trusted him. Stupid wolf magic making me a love sick idiot. I barely even know this weirdo. I mentally scolded myself.

"Do you want to go swimming?" I asked him.
