I Will Protect My Mate

Part 2

-Two months after last chapter-

Yuki's POV

I've cried all that I can. He hates me. He has to. Or else he wouldn't be doing this. He wouldn't be away from me. I remember his face when he told me we couldn't be together anymore. It was for my safety. Our pack's safety. Well, you know what? The whole pack could rot in hell for all I care. As long as I have Hiro. No, I don't mean that. I really don't, but this loneliness won't leave me. He's putting the pack before me! No, you know that's not true. I remember the night of Hiro's birthday and how we had almost made love. I'm eighteen now and I can't stand this aloneness. I see him when I close my eyes and every time my mind wonders, even the slightest. I want my mate. I want him now. The door to my "room" opened and Alpha came in. I glared at him and he cringed. I knew he could see the glowing outline of my body that was there when I was pissed. And right now I am pissed. I got up and stalked over to him. "Why the hell am I in a cage?!?! Why have you taken Hiro from me?!?! I know he wouldn't have just randomly dumped me!!! That's not how it works with mates!!!" Alpha looked like his son. Like an older Hiro. That was the only thing keeping me from just throwing him to the side and going to Hiro. "You know we have to do this to keep you safe until the full moon." I growled and made him go into a slightly submissive stance. I made Alpha submissive. "I want to see Hiro!" I crossed my arms over my chest and went back a little to my old self. "I really miss him." Alpha relaxed and smiled when he realized I was back. "I know. Hiro never wanted to reject you." Tears sprung to my eyes as I thought of that night.

"Yuki, I need to talk to you." It was the night before my eighteenth birthday. I was counting the hours till 3:30am when I was born. Hiro and I were on his bed. I nodded and looked at him. He took in a deep breath. "Yuki, I think we should brake up." I laughed. "That's not a very good joke Hiro." Hiro took in a shuttering breath and this scared me. "I'm not joking." My mouth hung open. "W-What?" Hiro looked at me with hard eyes. "We should brake up." I stared at him and shook my head in disbelief. "W-w-why?" My voice quivered and I felt my heart start to splinter, my world start to crack. "I found out from the Healer that I wasn't supposed to be your mate. I have a girl mate. She is in another pack and I'm going to that pack in a few days. I'm braking up with you." I closed my mouth slowly and got up from the bed. I went around to his side and kissed him. One last time. Even if he may hate this, I needed this. I needed to feel his love one more time. Hiro held me and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled away and let me go. I started to walk to his door. "Yuki?" I turned to look at the man I loved. Hiro, the love of my life. The destroyer of my world. The breaker of my heart. "Yes?" My voice shook with the sobs I was holding in. "I will always love you." I turned all the way around and ran at him. He grabbed me in his arms as I kissed him again. I started to cry and his face was soon as soaked in tears as mine was. We kissed with the passion of two who were never going to kiss again. We both want each other, but couldn't have each other. Hiro held me as I felt his tears mix with mine. I tasted the salty, bittersweet tang on my lips as we released each other and I ran away from the one I held dearest.

(Ok, so major jump in the story. I'm sorry, I just want to actually get on with the action and didn't want to just give you two months of filler. There will be flashbacks, but that's cuz some things did happen in the two months since the last chappy. Sorry again for the hole, but I think this is the best way to show this to you guys!)
