Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 2

Right there in front of me, was the hottest boy I had ever seen. He had the most sparkling hazel eyes and that dark hair that Calvin Klein models have. He even looked like a model himself. He was staring back at me and I blushed and quickly looked away.

"Lucy, this is Blake. His family will be staying here for a few months. Why don't you show him around the house" my father said. "Okay father". I looked over to Blake and nodded for him to follow. I showed him each room of the house. We had 2 guest rooms, which was enough for Blake and his parents to stay in. I showed him the rest of the rooms in the house and went to the kitchen to grab a snack. "So, how old are you Blake?" "I'm 14.". "I'm 14 too!" "Cool.."

It was getting awkward so I decided to play outside. "Hey Blake, wanna play ball with me?".

"Sure." We headed outside and and walked over to a nice field. We took turns kicking the ball and when it was my turn again I kicked it as hard as I could and it ended up smacking against Blake's head. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry Blake! I didn't mean to hit you". He groaned and rubbed his head. I touched his arm and there was this tingly sensation shooting all over my body, it felt like electricity! I wonder if he felt that too, because he was looking at me with wide eyes. "No, this can't be. We can't be mates" Blake said. He ran off into the nearby woods and I tried chasing after him, but fell on some broken branches. Mates? I thought. I didn't know what mates were. My parents never talked to me about mates. I knew I was a werewolf, but mates? I walked back home with a scraped up knee and entered the house. I placed a bandage on my knee and went to the kitchen, where my mom was cooking. "Mom, what are mates?". My mother looked at me and said "mates are your other half, your soul mate. The one that is destined to love you for the rest of your life. Why do you ask?". "I was just wondering. I heard some people talking about it.". "Well honey, one day you'll find your mate. Just like I've found your father. You will feel this pull whenever you're around him and when you guys touch, it's like feeling sparks ignite.". My mother said with a dreamy look. "okay mom, thanks.". "No problem sweetie. Just make sure you tell us who he is when you find him and wait until marriage to start making babies!"

"Okay mom! I'm going to go up to my room now."

I walked upstairs to my room and laid on the bed thinking. Blake is my mate! That would explain why I felt the sparks. But.. He said we can't be mates. Why would he deny it? Why doesn't he feel the same why that I feel for him? Am I ugly? Am I not good enough for him? I felt hurt and slept the night away.
