"She's my mate!" Zane yelled causing both the man and I to widen our eyes. Mate? Is Zane Australian?
"No. That's not possible. She's-" Zane cut him off with a blow to the jaw.
"Get out before I throw you out of the pack." I took a step back from th...

I sped back to the back city as quickly as possible. I wanted her out of my head. I didn't want to think about Everetts hands all over her. Touching her like I should be touching her. Kissing her like I should be kissing her. Once I got to the pack city, I just went home. I slowly walked inside and up to her room. Now I was really screwed. As I opened the door, I caught myself from gasping. She was sleeping in her bed. No Everett. I don't even smell him. I smiled and forgot about everything that happened these past few hours. Traveling further into her room I slowly crept to her bed and pushed a few strands of hair out of her peaceful sleeping face.
"Zane?" She groggily asked and I softly laughed.
"Yeah. It's me." She quickly sat up and jumped into my arms.
"I missed you so much." She mumbled and pressed her head further into my chest. I almost groaned but stopped myself. This felt so right. "I'm sorry Zane." Her voice held so much emotion, I pulled her away from me a little to look at her tear streaked face.
"Were you crying?" I asked and leveled our eyes. She tried to pull her face away but I held it with my hands. "Baby," I pulled her back into my chest and stroked her soft hair.
"No, you're right. I'm a jerk." She pulled away from me and scooted back on the bed. Away from me. "I'm-I'm giving you whiplash." I tried to hold her hand and comfort her but she pulled away again, making me angry.
"No just stop pushing me away Devina." She slowly looked up and met my gaze. Her blue eyes held so much hurt and pain as they filled with tears.
"I can't." She whispered. "I can't get hurt. Not again." Another stray tear fell and I crawled over to her and wiped it away with my thumb. Again? I cringed at the thought of her being with other guys like this. Or like anything.
"If you just let me in I promise I won't hurt you." She looked away again which killed me inside. "I was going to kiss you earlier today. When I had just won the race?" She snapped her eyes back to mine and I smiled. "I wanted to so badly." I still wasn't sure how she felt about that, but the fact that when I said wanted she frowned made me a little more confident.
"But you didn't." She pointed out and I caressed her cheek.
"Have you ever been kissed before?" I asked and I could barely see her cheeks flush. She shook her head and I grinned. "Then I want to make it special for you. It's your first time. I didn't just want it to happen because we got caught up in the moment. I want you to remember it forever, no matter what happens." She softly smiled. "I want to do it the normal way, take you out to dinner, talk to you about stupid things like what your favorite class is or what your favorite food is, then drive you back home and kiss you on the front porch. Or plan something big and wait for the perfect moment." I smiled too when I thought about her lips on mine.
"Zane nothing about us is normal. You're an extremely rich werewolf." She laughed and I did the same. She was right. "I don't care about any of that." She said and my eyes widened as she leaned in.
