Once lunch ended Luca found me, his face was laced with worry and pity. "Are you okay? What happened?" He asked looking me over.

"Can we start training after school?" I asked him feeling numb. He nodded before engulfing me in a hug, it didn't feel like the hug Caleb gave me. It didn't leave me in passion with sparks running threw my veins.

I some how got addicted to his touch.
I just don't understand how..

~•~•~•~

After school me and Luca left, I did however catch a glimpse of Caleb and Kyla sucking faces.

It hurt so bad, maybe I thought he cared. He probably laughed after I left.

I caught his eye just as I got in the car, as I buckled up he pushed away Kyla and started walking this way. As Luca revved up the engine he started running. He got to the front of the car when Luca glared at him before driving off.

~•~•~•~

"Why is he so set on talking and being with me?" I asked annoyed. "You're mates" he said, I couldn't help but huff. "I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS" I yelled out angry making Luca swerve. "Jesus Christ Lizzy, calm down" he huffed. I nodded sighing to myself.

"Mates mean... Soul mates, you're his other half, he needs you" Luca explained. Tears came to my eyes "what if I don't want to be his mate?" I asked. Luca sighed "it.... It's not that easy, you can't just sign an agreement and then you two be done. It will leave you both heartbroken, most of us who are rejected die... Just remember that" Luca explained.

I couldn't do that, no matter how much he angers me and no matter how much of a man whore he is... I can't hurt him.

When we got home I rushed into the house. I wanted to start training as soon as possible.

I put on black spandex shorts and a huge gray shirt. As I finished lacing up my shoes Luca came in. "First thing's first, you gotta run five miles in under an hour" I smirked walking past him purposely bumping his shoulder. "I'll do it in under a half".

After the mile Luca let me get water and pee while he went down to the basement to get something. As I chugged down a glass of water in the kitchen Luca came back up with a huge black case. I raised an eyebrow setting my glass down, he just continued to walk out into the back yard.

I followed behind him he was kneeling on the ground. I kneeled next to him, he took off the key chain he always wore.

When he unlocked the case I was in shock. Arrows, guns, knives, and more, weapons upon weapons. He looked st me but I could just stare, "these were the weapons I used.. I don't need them anymore"he said standing up. He helped me up before bending down and picking up a knife. "Now let's see how good your aim is" I nodded grabbing the knife. I aimed for the plastic dear a bock away from me right in front of the woods edge.

It felt so natural, like the knife in my hand was built for me. I leaned back breathing in and closing my eyes. I leaned forward letting the knife go, I heard something fall I opened my eyes to see the dear on the ground. I looked at Luca to see him eyes wide open.

"I think you're gonna get the hang of thus very easily".
