I'm a cheetah? So what you're a wolf!

Chapter 6 - My Mate

I couldn't believe it I have a mate! At that moment I was so happy, I didn't care about anything, I was living in the moment, well that was until Lachlan erupted with laughter he was laughing at Dylan like he had just told the best joke ever.

We broke from our trance and both were confused for a second. I didn't quite understand what was going on. Apparently when you find your mate you're meant to be overpowered with love and desire but I didn't feel that, well not to the extent others describe it as at least.

I did feel some attraction towards Dylan but it only seemed to be some kind of primal animalistic attraction, it wasn't overpowering and I certainly was not going to be his mate! He is a sexist pig who thrives of others misery and pain. He is cruel and doesn't care about anyone but himself. I can not be with someone like that.

Just as I was about to say something he begins laughing with Lachlan. He says 'got you! You think I'd actually be with someone as disgusting as her! I don't even know her name, does anyone know her name?!' Even though I wasn't going to accept him as my mate my stomach still drops and I still feel hurt. Rejection is not a nice feeling.

I rush past him up the stairs to my room, I sit on my bed left to my own thoughts staring off into space. I can't tell if time is going fast and I can't tell if time is going slow. Really it was just a blur.

They say if your mate rejects you it's the worst pain you will ever experience, some wolves have been said to have committed suicide after being rejected as the pain was just too much. Good thing I'm a freak who hasn't shifted. 

I don't feel pain. I just feel  and anger towards Dylan and his pack. How dare he treat me with such disrespect, what did I ever do to deserve such torment!

I'm not sure when but sometime that night I drifted off into a restless, but well needed sleep. I awoke to tugging and pulling at my clothes. What on earth!? I froze and looked down. It was Dylan and he was trying to undress me! I shrieked and began kicking myself back as far as I could in my bed. He slapped his hand around my mouth and shushed me.

I was terrified and shaking. This had never happened to me before and I had no idea what to do. I was stunned. I never expected anything like this it happen to me. He removes his hand from my mouth and continues to undress me. I plead with him to stop but he just looks up at me and growls. His eyes are are bright piercing yellow. He is not in control. It's his wolf and he is hungry with lust for me, his mate.

I fight back, but it's useless. He's too strong for me and I'm no match against him. I'm down to my underwear and I feel extremely violated I close my eyes and figure I better let it be over and done with.

As I close my eyes I try to think of things that make me happy. My dream where I turned into a cheetah immediately flashes in my head. I feel his hand grasp my arm and I snapped.

My heart began racing and I heard my bones crunch just like what happened in the forest. I forgot what was happening and watched orange fur sprout from my arms.  My back arched and I felt my spine twist into a new shape. It was real. I am a cheetah.
