What doesn't kill you

Spencer's POV

Shock. That's the only expression I could pull off at the moment. I couldn't move. I kept thinking, what is he going to say? What is he going to do? Will he think Donavan is taking advantage of me? Will he tell my dad? I watched as Kaden's dad Chris walked into the room. One whiff of the air and he already knew what was going on. I watched a his face scrunched up in disgust.

'Geez it's like walking in on your daughter. I feel so uncomfortable right now' he sent me through our mind link causing me to blush in embarrassment.

"Hey Chris" I said out loud trying but failing to hide my nervousness

"Spencer, what are you doing here?" He asked eyeing me suspiciously as if daring me to lie.

"Just a meeting with the principal, but it's done now. What are you doing here?" I asked

I looked over at Donavan who was intensely observing our conversation and gave him a small smile.

"Got a call that Kaden walked out of class, so I'm here to see what's up" he said casually 'You're lucky I'm the one here, because your dad got the same call about you and asked me to check it out' he added through the mind link

"Okay, well i'll leave you to it" I replied then turned towards Donavan and said "bye Mr. Drake"

He nodded in return before offering Chris a seat.

I walked out of the office terrified. Dad and Chris have been friends since before they could talk, so he's definitely going to tell him what happened, if he hasn't already. I mind linked Kaden, asking him to meet me in the parking lot.

"What's up?" He asked as he approached me

"Your Dad's here" I said watching his face contort in confusion

"Why?" He asked

"Apparently, our anatomy teacher called our parents to tell them we waked out of class without permission. But that's not even the worst part" I sighed

"Yeah? What else is there?"

"Donavan and I were kinda busy in his office when your Dad arrived and by the look of it, he knew what we were doing" I said highly embarrassed

Kaden burst into a fit of laughter.

"I bet you now he'll understand why i had to walk out of class" he said in between laughs

"Shut up. It's not funny, what if he tells my Dad?" I asked nervously

"Just explain he's your mate, they can't do anything about it. You act like they can tell you not to see each other anymore" Kaden said as a matter of fact

"I know, but how do I tell him? I need to think of how to actually phrase what I'm going to say"

"Well, you better think of something fast, because here he comes" he said nodding in Chris's direction

I felt my palm get sweaty, and I shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot watching as Chris's intimidating figure approached us.

"You want to explain what I walked in on back there Spence?" He asked getting right to the point.

"Uhmm, it's..look Chris it's not what it looked like, it's.. I don't... Please don't tell Dad" I stuttered out

"Don't try to play me for a fool, your dad and I noticed you were carrying a new scent for the past few days, but we didn't think anything of it. Now I see why and who the scent belongs to I'm mad we didn't take any action. Your principal? Seriously spencer off of every guy in this town, you chose to sleep with your principal? You said you were saving yourself for your mate, what happened to that?" He rambled

"I love him" I managed to get out

"What is he to you spencer?" He asked seriously

"He's my mate" I whispered

"Mate? Why am I just finding out about this? Do your Patents know?" He asked

"No just Kaden and now you" I replied avoiding eye contact

"Does he know what he is to you? Does he know what you are?" He asked clearly concerned

"No" I sighed "I don't know how to break it to him, so I'm just waiting for the right time." I answered

"You do know you can't wait too long or your bond will diminish right?" He asked me

My head immediately snapped up to him.

"What do you mean diminish?" I asked alarmed

"When mates have been intimate with each other without marking, the longer they go without sealing the bond, it begins to diminish. Not marking your mate, is basically a way of saying you don't want them, so the goddess gives you a minimum amount of time to seal the bond, after that time, if the mating ritual is not complete, then the bond begins to diminish. It's the goddesses way of making sure we don't get stuck with a mate we don't want. After the bond diminishes completely, you may or may not get a chance at a second chance mate, it's the moon goddesses way of making sure we don't spend the rest of our lives alone. This is one of the reasons why mates tend to mark each other almost immediately after they meet" he explained

"How long do I have left?" I asked sadly

"Depends on when you first mated" he said shrugging

"It'll be two months on Wednesday" I replied his unasked question

"Oh" he said trailing off "well you have until Wednesday" he replied rubbing my shoulder comfortingly

I felt like crawling up in a ball and crying my eyes out. I couldn't lose him. I'd die if I lost him. I don't know how I'm going to break the news about what I am to him, but it looks like I don't have a choice but to do it. What if he's afraid of me? What if he breaks up with me? What if he thinks I'm a monster? What if he runs away? What if....what if he rejects me? I was too deep in my thoughts, I didn't even notice when Chris and Kaden had left me to myself.

I didn't want to think anymore, I needed a run. It's been a while since I let my wolf out. I drove my car home, parked it and walked towards the edge of the woods. I peeled off my clothes, neatly folded them and placed them in the corner. I felt my change coming, my body began to take the shape of my wolf, and I sighed in relief and contentment. I let Ava take the reins, right now I just wanted to relax my mind.

We had been running through the woods for a while before I decided to talk to Ava.

'What if he doesn't accept us?' I asked sadly

'Be positive' she said sternly

'He can't reject us, he just can't' I said trying to assure myself

'I need my mate, and you need yours. In order for Eric to become one with his human, his human has to accept my wolf. So he better accept you, because I need my mate' she growled

She was getting angry, so I decided to take over. I felt her give me control, and I took off running with no destination in mind. I kept running until I got to a clearing. I looked up to see a familiar glass house with a light on in a bedroom I've spent so much time in. Good times. I saw Donavan through the open window, he was painting and I could've sworn he was staring directly at me.

I stood there, staring at him for what seemed like hours. My Adonis, the reason for my existence, the love of my life, my life. It was in that moment I made a decision, I would tell him tomorrow afternoon. Maybe show him my secret sanctuary and ease him into it. I can only hope it goes in my favor.

While watching him, I thought over all the things that could go wrong, and decided its now or never, I have to do it before its too late. I don't want to be that girl that thinks what if? What if I had told him and he accepts me with open arms? I have to do it. If he loves me like he says he does, he'll accept me for who I am right? I can only hope. What doesn't kill you.....
