I awoke with a start to Laurel's purring and strong arms gently wrapped around my waist. I realized my face was pressed to this man's chest and I would have freaked out if it wasn't for the sparks. I temporarily shook the horrors of the nightmare aside and recalled what happened the night before. Dan Howell showed up and hugged me because he is my.... mate, and then I started crying because of my memories and he held me until I fell asleep. He wound up in my bed because I asked him to stay with me. I can't believe I used those Harry Potter puns. My sleep was peaceful until, ... I was five standing just inside my room as my mother scolded me for liking cats. I started crying so she slapped me, I stood there shocked and when I didn't respond she slapped me again. My father wasn't home and as Luna there was no-one to stop her. My mother made me stay in my room that night because there wasn't one inch of me that wasn't bruised and even with werewolf healing speed it took three days for the bruises to fade. I snapped out of my remembrance when a gentle hand brushed the tear off of my cheek. It caused a wonderful feeling of love and trust to bloom in my chest and that's when I decided that even though we were mates we needed to take this slowly. "D-dan I know I asked you to stay and it was totally inappropriate of me and I am glad that we are mates, but we need to take this slowly. Wait a second, here a mate is a friend what do you call the one you're destined to be with, your other half?" I rushed through my words and I wasn't sure he understood me at first. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged me. I sat up and so did he as he explained how it worked for him, "Here in London we call our other halves our soul we took the soul half of soulmate and you took the mate half." I couldn't help but giggle a little. "What's so funny?" Dan asked cautiously. "Well Dan, in a way it makes us even more perfect for each other because I am your soul and you are my mate which means that together we make soulmate!" He looked relieved to see me smiling instead of crying and I couldn't blame him.
