My Psycho Mate {Book #1 of The Fated Mates Trilogy}

Four More Hours...

~Peter's POV~

"Why did she run, Peter?" Elucard asked me.

I whined.

"Can you just change back?" He sounded annoyed. "I can't speak wolf whines!"

I growled and turned back. "I kind of rapped her and killed her grandfather the last Blood Moon..." I whispered, looking down.

There was an awkward silence between the two of us. I looked up at his face, only to look back down again; he had a disgusted expression on his face. "Oh." He finally said.

"Yeah; oh!" I said sarcastically. "Can we go look for my mate now?"

A few seconds later, his feet came into my line of vision and his hand was on my shoulder. "It wasn't your fault; it's the Blood Moon. It does it to all of us. It was your first transformation, wasn't it?" I nodded. "So you would have been drawn to her right away regardless..." I could sense the question he was going to ask before he asked it. "How old was she?"

"She was eight." He just nodded.

"Let's get you some clothes." He said calmly.

"But we have to follow-"

"Do you want to follow her naked?" I shook my head. "In wolf form, then?" I winced and shook it again. "Then let's get you some clothes first."

I sighed and nodded reluctantly. "Where from?"

"We'll have to go back to the house." THE HOUSE?!?! "What size are you?"

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! WE CAN'T GO STRAIGHT TO HIM!!! HE'LL KILL US BOTH FOR SURE!" I screamed at him. He really is crazy!

"He will be out looking for Sunset for sure; there's only four more hours to go." He notified me calmly. "Now, what's your size?"

I sighed and said "Large." in a similarly calm tone. However, inside, I was panicking like there was no tomorrow!

FOUR?!?!

ONLY FOUR?!?!

AND WHAT ARE WE DOING? LOOKING FOR CLOTHES SO THAT MY MATE WON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME ON SIGHT, WHICH SHE WILL PROBABLY DO ANYWAY!!!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need my Sunset...

We both ran towards the house quickly and got some of Elucard's old clothes. I can't believe he had clothes my size! He is WAY smaller than I am... Though, I guess that's what several years in a coma does to you. Yikes!

We were now running through the forest, trying to get to Sunset before Jarred does.

Where is she?!

"Calm down, we'll find her soon." Elucard comforted me. "But we don't want you to turn wolf in the process." He hinted at my agitation level.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down some before continuing my desperate search. It was then that I latched onto a scent...

"Do you smell that?" I asked.

"You're reading my mind." He retorted and we started running in the direction of the scent...

~Sunset's POV~

I won't get mated tonight...

That's the solution!

If I don't get mated tonight, the prophecy would be void!

It's the moot point!!!

So all I have to do is mate Jarred TOMORROW night!

If he loves me, he would wait. I know he would... Wait, what's that noise?

I listened harder... Their footsteps!

Oh no!!!

WHAT DO I DO?!?!

I guess I'll just have to stay hidden... Right?

You have... or... have...doom! Elizabeth Thunder's voice echoed faintly in my head.

What? I can't hear you, Elizabeth.

It's... tracker!

The tracker? What about it?! It's just one of Elucard's inventions... Besides, I think Peter was the one who put it in me; Jarred's too nice to do such a horrible thing!

No! It's can't be... It's... You must... or else I... talk to you!!! She sounded very panicked, but I couldn't quite decipher what she wanted to tell me...

Try to say things two or three times, Elizabeth!

O-... Okay... It's it's the... tracker... it makes makes ma-... me unab-... unable unable to... communi-... communicate with... you!

It makes you unable to communicate with me?! WHY?!?!

I... don't don't... know... why why why b-...but I... -eed need you to... get it it it...-t out!

How?

It it i-... -st must be des-... destroyed when wh-... it's inside...-ou you!

So I must smash it inside me?! That sounds painful and GROSS!!!

NO!!! D-... Don't smash sma-... -t it!!! You y-... you must m-... overcome it it i-...

Tell me what I need to do! I'd do anything!!!

...-ink think of of... all the the the goo-... good and... the bad... -mes times you... had with w-... both!

I can only remember good times with Jarred, and only bad times with Peter... Is that a coincidence...? Or... Was it planned?

Once... you y-... -ou unlock... one of... the the memories... the the... tracker will... be broken... and will... -eave leave le-... your skin skin ski-... willingly willingly!

So, if I find one good memory of Peter or one bad memory of Jarred, it will leave my skin? Oh god, that sounds painful! And GRO-

"Finally, I found you!" Oh god... I forgot all about the foot steps... "Are you okay?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OOOHHH!!!!

Do you think she could do it?

Is that Peter, Jarred, Elucard, or someone else?

Also...

Was that her scent they were following?

...Jarred's scent?

...Or...

...Someone else's...?

*Cue dramatic music!*

Dun dun DDDDDDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess you guys will have to wait to find out...

MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ps. Sorry for the short chapter, but I have to help my family pack for their two-week trip to Switzerland...

Yes, everyone is going...

No, that "everyone" doesn't include me...

UGH!

Life is unfair!!! :((
