Leela's pov:

I wanted him. He didn't want me I guess probably because I wasn't a virgin. I'm dirty. I wanted to touch him. See if he's real. His family was so nice and beautiful. I was so ordinary compared to them. His words that I wasn't one of them didn't help my fear that some other elf girl would come steal him that is better looking. For now I had him though I was his girlfriend and mate. When he asked me I said yes I believed him for now. He had surprised me he had pushed me away.

He didn't just want me for sex that made my heart beat fast. It made me ask did I like him? Well obviously. He was my best friend before but this was something more. He had rejected me though would he do it again. I mean he just did right? He turned to me and said "I can hear your thoughts and trust me I want you you are not dirty I know what happened to you and it hurt me as well."  His fist balled and his eyes go black. "I will never let that happen again I wish I could have protected you and I will never reject you again."

He opened his arms and motioned me to come. I did I wasn't scared anymore he wasn't going to kill me. He didn't just want me for sex. But I'm so ordinary why would he want me. The words that I am beautiful and he wanted me made my heart flutter. I wasn't ordinary in his eyes the realization made me smile. As we walked back inside his sister was gone. His dad said "She went to get her mate she wants you guys to meet, she's so excited. He laughed and Trayden nodded. "I'll show my mate around."

He showed me the living room it looked like a regular house. It had a red couch , granite counter tops and wood floors. It was very modern and high end I felt like a princess as I walked up a spiral staircase. There were pictures of a girl with white hair and blue eyes. She was older so I guessed she was his mom. He looked at the picture "Yep that's her, she would have loved you. It made my heart brake that he was in pain.

I reached down and twined my fingers in his and gave him a squeeze. He looked up at me and I could see tears. I untwined my fingers and hugged him. As he cries against my shoulder. After about 5 minutes he wrapped his arms around me "I'm sorry there are so many good memories of me and her." I said "it's okay to cry." I laughed and he did as well. He said"thank you I just didn't want to be unmanly. " I laughed "I can tell your all man" and squeezed his muscles. He laughed I knew that would help. "There's my smile." He smiled showing all his pearly whites.
