Fated To Meet

Chapter 9: Love

A/N: Hai pretties, I decided a schedule for my writing. I think I'm going to update on Saturday or Sunday from now on. I'll make sure to tell you if I change the schedule. <3 Alright, Enjoy!!

Addison's P.O.V.

I took a deep breath and took Ares's hand, while leading him out the door.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see. I have to show you something."

I dragged Ares out of the pack house and towards the forest. Violet yipped itching to go out for a run. I took in the familiar setting and I brought my hand to my amulet. I looked at my mate

"Biscuit, you okay? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"No, I need to tell you. I'm tired of hiding, it's only brought sadness to those around me." My heart winced at the thought of my gran, my mother , and my father. They've sacrificed their lives to keep me safe and my secret. I owed my life and existence to them.

I tightened my hold on my amulet and I slowly unsealed it. I noticed a small stream  further into the forest and I started to walk towards it. Ares silently followed behind me. As I reached the stream, I slowly closed my eyes and I listened to the sound of the water. I moved the energy inside me along with the splashes and movement of the river. I opened my eyes and water surrounded me like a force field. I learned how to move water with my magic when I was 15. It had actually took the most amount of time to master.

I turned around to look at Ares. His eyes widened and he stood rooted at the spot he was standing. I reached out my hand to touch him, but he flinched and moved backward. Violet whimpered at the action, and my heart broke into a million pieces. Did he not want me now? Was he scared?

"H- How, W-What , Y-you just, and the water." He stammered while looking between the stream and back at my eyes.

I scratched the back of my head and awkwardly chucked.

"Half actually. I'm a hybrid between a witch and a werewolf. My mom was a witch and my dad was a werewolf. They were mate's and then I was born."

"I get it if you think that I'm weird or if you want to reject me."My voice cracked.

In a second, he grabbed me and brought me in his arms. I lost focus and the water around me fell and completely soaked us. I just stood there in his arms stunned. He growled and continued to tighten his hold on me.

"I won't reject you for something as simple as you being a half witch. So what it's not like you changed just because your a half witch. No matter who you are, you'll always be my mate."

I smiled. Somewhere deep inside me I knew that he wouldn't treat me differently if he found out.

"I know." I whispered.

"So what does being a hybrid do with when Cody found you alone on the southern border."

I looked up at the leaves in the tree's as they rustled in the wind.

"When I was born, a oracle warned my parents that I would be born with immense powers. So I would constantly be in danger if people found out about my powers. So my gran locked my powers in this necklace." My hand touched the amulet.

"When I was around three months, a couple of rouges invaded my house and my parents had to flee. I was left with my gran in a forest, while my mom and dad went to fight the rogues. I was told they were killed by rogues in battle, but I recently found out that my mother's very own brother killed her and my father. I stayed in a cabin the forest for 18 years of my life. My mother had cast a spell on the forest so that no one other than my gran and I could enter it. On my eighteenth birthday, somehow my uncle had managed to force his way into the forest and he set my cabin on fire. He killed my grandmother, while she was protecting me, and I ended up on your pack territory."

My eyes glazed over at the image of my gran right before she forced me out of the cabin. Ares slowly wrapped his arms around me, and I relaxed.

"My uncle's still after me. He wants to forcibly use my power to expand his own power."

Ares's hold tightened around me.

"I won't let him. I'll protect you. If he sets a single foot into my territory, I'll rip off his fucking head."

"You're safe don't worry."

I buried my head in his chest and listened to his heartbeat as his thumb traced soothing circles on my back.

"You know when I was sixteen,I was out running to get rid of some stress, when I smelt the most amazing scent in my whole life. I instantly knew it was my mate. I knew she was somewhere in the forest, so I ran around trying to find her, but I couldn't. It was like there was some kind of force that directed me away when I was close to finding you. I searched for three years and when I saw you I was the happiest I've been in all nineteen ears of my life."

"I knew as soon as I saw you that..."

"That what?"

"I love you."

I stilled in his arms and If it wasn't for his arms holding me up, I would have fell. I choked back some tears and looked up at his eyes.

He loved me?

What did I do to deserve such a perfect mate. My eyes flickered to his lips and all I wanted to do at that moment was to kiss him. As if he was reading my mind, his lips slowly lowered until they touched mine.

Our lips moved together in harmony. The kiss was gentle and soft. His hands reached up to cup my face and he deepened the kiss. He playfully bit my lip, asking for entrance. I gasped as his tongue slid into my mouth. I brought my hands to his hair and ran my fingers through his dark brown locks. Our tongues fought for dominance, but eventually he won. We pulled away for air and leaned our foreheads against each other. We both breathed heavily.

We both laid on the ground and looked up at the sky.

"That was... wow."

Ares chuckled and turned around to look at me. I felt my cheeks warm up as he gazed at the side of my face.

"Hey Ares."

He hummed in response.

"I love you too."
