Players Don't Mate

Chapter 9 - Saved

Nash's POV :

*Beep*

The phone shut.

I dropped to my knees.

"This is all my fault." I said sounding so weak.

"No. It isn't." Daniel said, standing up and looking down at me, he gave me his hand trying to help me up.

"Yes. It is. They're after her because of me!" I snapped.

"It's not your fault Nash." Silver replied.

I haven't known her for long, in fact, we just met today. This is how it all hapenned...

*Flashback*

"Shit, that means I better get Crystal and make sure she understood everything about us being mates. I have to protect her." Daniel worried.

"I guess I have to find Melissa. I don't want a mate b-but I still have to protect her." I said.

Daniel rolled his eyes at me. "Please, don't hide your feelings. For once."

"Whatever." I mumbled.

Then we rushed to their house. This is how we met Silver. Apparently since they lived with her. I can't say I wasn't confused. I mean, there were many questions crossing my mind. Like, where are her parents? It all was just something I didn't understand.

Finally, we began to explain.

"Crystal." Daniel hesitated.

"Yes."

"I have to tell you something."

"Go ahead." She smiled.

He smiled back and said "We w- we're-"

"Mates?" She asked smiling and looking at him.

"Yeah.." Daniel's eyes widened in shock.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"let's just say I felt the same way you did." She said softly, looking at the ground. Her cheeks flushing red.

Daniel smiled. He looked like the happiest person ever. She most likely said that she accepted him as a mate.

"I will protect you with my life." He finally told her.

He then ran to her and wrapped his arms around her like he never wanted to let her go.

Sick.

Finally then, I had the guts to open my mouth and ask about Melissa. In fact, I haven't seen her around. I really needed her. That's it . I planned on telling her how I feel. I will protect her no matter what. I for once will take Daniel's advice and stop running away from my feelings. I realized I was such a jerk to my mate. My angel, my soul.

I guess it is true after all, a mate is about the best thing that can ever happen to you. Why was I denying her all this time ? I-I-I love her ! I wanted to be with her...for the rest of my life. She's my mate. I was blessed with a beautiful mate like her.

I stood up and asked. "Where is Melissa?"

Silver's smile faded. I got the bad feeling that my mate was in danger. My wolf inside me wanted nothing but his mate in his arms.

"She-she never came back home yet since school." She replied sounding worried.

*End of Flashback*

Melissa's POV :

Finally, I woke up still trying to open up my eyes. My wolf was screaming in pain. I felt a deep cut on my side. I tried to shift into my standing position but I couldn't. They have beaten me up badly. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I was scared, more than ever.
