Dana and I sat on a picnic table outside eating lunch. I have to tell her my secret. I have to tell her I'm a werewolf. I know she's a mermaid, but she's a pure royal. She might find someone else. But she's my mate. She wouldn't leave me. Right? I glanced at her eating her lunch. No. I can't. It might make her run away. Well, she's a mermaid. She'd understand. Right? "Dana, can I tell you something?"
Her big blue eyes looked up at me. "Yea. Sure, anything, Nate."
"I...." I looked down at her, unable to continue. "Never mind. I forgot."
"Ok.", she said as she went back to eating her lunch.
As I finished eating, I saw Zach walking over toward us. "I'll be back."
"Ok."
I walked over to them and sighed. "Did you tell her?", Zach questioned me.
I shook my head. "I couldn't. I'm afraid if I tell her, she'll run away."
"Now you know she wouldn't do that. You guys are mates."
"Yeah, I know, but you can never be sure how people will react. I wasn't sure how you would react when I told you what I am."
"Same here. You know you have to tell her sometime."
"Yeah, I know."
"Sometime soon, especially before my dad gets any ideas."
"I know. Don't worry. I'll tell her."
"Good. You better."
