Aaron POV

She was beautiful. Ever since I laid my eyes upon her I knew she was the one. My mate. She had dark brown hair and bright green eyes that shimmered in the light. She always wore a smile, no matter what was going on with her life. The first time I met her she was smiling with that beautiful smile of hers. 

It was a summers day, and my mother held the annual barbecue at the lake. She invited the whole town sometimes, and no body could ever pass up one of her offers. She was the best cook in town, she could feed an entire army and still be going on strong. Most of the guys were in the lake playing water volley ball against the girls who weren't doing that bad, then you got the parents who'd rather sit in the sun and complain next to the ones who sunbathed. All in all, it was just like having one large extended family. 

I wondered off a little further into the woods, allowing myself room to think about what was going on with my life at that point. I had only just found out that I was a werewolf, and I was finding it a little odd to get used to. Mum had told me everything I needed to know, and it sounded rather easy. I guessed too soon. 

But it all changed when I saw her. Sitting at the base of a tree, her head stuck in a book of mythology, her deep chocolate hair falling down to her sides. It was wavy, swaying with the slight breeze. She looked up at me for a moment, our eyes connecting. Bright green meeting cobalt blue. I had never felt so sure in my life.. 

Mate.

We had become friends, under that tree. I talked about my life and what I enjoyed and vise versa. She had always wanted to know more about mythology and mythological creatures, how I longed to tell her about my kind. But I was scared, scared I might loose her. Scared she might reject me. I couldn't let that happen.

So I kept my distance. I stayed friends, but tried to make no advances on her. Until, that is, one full moon when we were at the beach with a few friends, a campfire set up as they sat in a circle around it. I saw her sat on the wooden pier, it only stretching out a few metres. I went and sat down beside her, seeing the moonlight reflect off her eyes as she looked at me with a warm smile on her face. That wonderful smile hid so many bad memories for her, hid so many untold stories. But I loved it all the same. Loved her.

As I leaned in closer to her I felt so happy, so at peace with myself. I felt like I could conquer the world with her by my side. My Grace. 

It felt like fireworks when I kissed her, sparks traveling through my body and heightened my senses when I was around her. Her sweet scent always calmed me, the soft ring of her voice made my heart melt. 

I didn't tell her my secret for another year of us being together, scared that it would upset her. Boy, was I wrong. She looked me in the eyes, searching for the truth within them. When she found it, she gave a small smile and pulled me into a hug. 

"You should have told me sooner.." She tightly held onto me, as if afraid to let go. "I can't imagine how hard it has been for you.."

Those words had me. It was hard to keep away from her every full moon. It was hard not to mark her, it was hard not to loose my wolf when she was near me. 

And so, I told her about mates, and how we live together with one another until we die.. and that if we are rejected we either become rouges or die. Sad, really. 

But there was one thing that I didn't realize this whole time, my brothers jealousy. He loved Grace. Not as I did though, he could never understand what it was like to be me, to be a wolf. Mother's genes only passed onto me.
