Melissa's POV:

There he is...my mate. The one person I have been waiting for. The one I have been counting on. The perfect guy that was supposed to rescue me. He was supposed to take me away from my foster family, my past, and keep me safe. I always thought that when I finally find my mate, I will and without hesitating, throw myself at him wrapping my arms around him and enjoying the feeling of his skin touching mine. But THIS ... This is definitely not what I was expecting. Now that I found my mate, I feel like it's all different. I want him. I want him so bad but...no. I can't.

No way. This only happens in movies. 'I am the new girl and apparently my mate is the biggest jerk in school'.

Jesus! Why does everything have to be so damn complicated! I just wanted a simple mate that could love me and protect me. But no. I get the jerk. 'Shut your face, he's our mate don't call him that' my wolf argued.

'Watch it girly, he is a jerk and don't you argue with me'

'Nu-uh, he is our mate.'

'Mate or not. He's a god damn jerk!'

'Seriously who cares. He's the one you've been waiting for, people change Melissa, like you're one to talk. Now quit crying like a baby and let me enjoy some quality time with our mate!'

I haven't even realized I was crying, I never cry in front of anyone! That was not supposed to happen. 'Uncool, I'm not like that!' My wolf just loves getting under my skin sometimes. He's my mate. SO WHAT? I wasn't ready to get hurt again. He's going to use me and take advantage of me. He is the most popular guy at school, after all. He will just sleep around with me - Although I gotta admit, I'm good in bed - anyways , I'm not going to let him claim me as his. That is it.

I turned to look at Nash, realizing I totally spaced out, only to look into his deep blue eyes. Impossible. My mate has feelings? Of course my wolf has to butt in 'Harsh!' she cried. 'Shut it' I snapped irritated from her. I was surprised of his facial expressions. There was hurt and pain. I have hurt him, b-but how ? I didn't say anything!

His soft voice interrupted my thoughts "You're disappointed?" He asked and it almost shocked me by how hurt he sounded. Maybe my wolf was right?

"Huh?" I replied. Yes, totally stupid, I know. But I wasn't sure what to say, didn't quiet understand what he meant..

"Are you disappointed that I'm your mate?" His eyes narrowed and I can see tears forming while he looked away. I cannot believe it, I'm going to make my mate cry. I-I really ... can't believe this. I am such a horrible person. My heart shattered at the thought of him being hurt. I wanted to just kiss him and feel the sparks again assuring him that I want him.

"I'm a jerk. I know. But you don't understand. I have my reasons, if you give me a chance I will explain there's alot I have to say to you but please don't leave me, you are my angel, my mate." He stopped to look at me then continued "I will not leave you and I will protect you as long as forever goes. Dammit you're all I think about ever since you came here, you can't leave me..."

"I need you.." He whispered.

I couldn't help the smile on my face. Those words were all I needed to hear. I need to know that someone cares about me. I was glad to know that someone out there will always protect me no matter what.
