*Chapter 37* - Hides from her mate

*Clarina's P.O.V*

I get eye contact with Lucas, who is smiling at me with satisfaction, like he is pleased by my actions.

Then I saw Emily who comes running at the hallway before she with a big smile embraces me.

"It is so great that you have accepted my brother, you are the best future Luna possible and will be a huge asset to our pack."

I laughed with her, ​​before I over her shoulder watch how Lucas stiffened and sniffed the air before he looked around bewildered. It dawned on me that he was looking for someone, and when I felt Emily stiffen and move behind me, and away from him, I understood .

"You're his mate?"

I exclaimed quietly. Emily stared wildly at me with pleading eyes and shook her head. I frowned confused, why would she not admit it? I grabbed her hand before I turned to Matthew and gave him a gentle kiss on the mouth.

"I need to talk with your sister. See you later? "

I asked, Matthew looked a little confused between me and Emily, before he smiled and kissed me again before he nodded.

"Yes I'm waiting for you out in the parking lot after school, then we can go home to either me or you"

I nodded quickly before I pulled Emily with me down the hall and outside on the lawn, where there were no other students , only then I turned to Emily .

"The other day you told me that you had a crush on Lucas ... It's not a crush, you have found your mate! Why aren't you with him?"

I asked wondering, Emily looked sad at me.

"You're right, I'm pretty sure he's my mate. But I couldn't tell you when you knew nothing about werewolves."

She smiled a little crooked , and I could just smile back , because she was right , I would have thought she was insane if she had begun to talk about mates back then, but it still confused me that she wasn't with him.

" Why not tell him? Or does he know? I have noticed that he stiffens when you are near ..."

Emily nodded.

"He stiffens because he can smell my scent. You must understand that as werewolves, we all have a mate, a he wolves can recognize their mates scent from the age of 16 while she wolves only recognize their mate at the age 18. I turned eighteen four months ago, and my scent changed , don't ask me why, because I have no clue , but it did , and it was at my 18th birthday party that I realized that it was Lucas who was my mate. But ... I can't be with him. Firstly, he is a teacher at the school, and although it's not a problem in our society, we go to a school where there are humans, and in your community, a teacher-student relationship is strictly prohibited! Secondly, he is the Alpha of our neighbors pack Silver Steel, and the idea that I would have to leave my pack to enter his don't interest me, especially because I would have to be their Luna, and I just can't see myself in that position. Thirdly, he is my brother's best friend, so I have my whole life heard about his conquests, and believe me, it's not so few! Why would I possibly want to be with someone who has been around that much? And as repeatedly acknowledged that the girl does not really interest him, but that it was the desire that drove him! What if I let him in my heart, and it turns out that he just can't be true to me, I can't live with the uncertainty, which is why I have decided that I will live without him. "

I looked gently at her before I pulled her into a hug.

"Oh little friend, you've really thought about this, and I can understand all your views, but he's your mate, you should give him a chance ... Can you just decide that you will live without him? I do not know that much about you wolves yet, but I understood that once they found their mate, it was impossible to be without them?"

I asked inquiring in a gentle tone, Emily smiled wryly and shook her head.

"No it is possible for us to live without our mate, some of us never find our mate, and it is only when we have fully mated that it will be impossible to live without our mate. And I know Lucas , he will mate wholly immediately , and if I have allowed it, and he is with someone else, it will destroy me , since it will be almost impossible for me to leave him, my wolf will not live on without him , and in the worst case I can lose her, or my life."

I looked at her amazed, I wasn't aware of that. Emily who interpreted my face smiled and laughed.

"Don't worry Clarina , you will find out everything, that is not demanding that you know all about us, you can learn it over the years. "

I smiled gratefully back at her.

"Thanks Emily, it really means a lot to me that you are my friend ... And I will help you in any ways I can. If you have decided that Lucas is not for you, I will try to help as best I can, so he doesn't finds out that it is you who is his mate."

Emily smiled and gave me a hug.

"You are simply perfect, and now you're both my best friend and my future sister in law. And thank you, for helping with Lucas. It's starting to be hard to avoid him , since he actively started to look once he gets the scent of me, so far I have been able to hide myself by going to places where I know that my scent is drowned by other scents but I probably will not always be so lucky.
