Eternal beauty

Chapter 17

CLAYS POV

I walked out of the room feeling very pissy at the fact that I left my mate with a guy. It's not that I didn't trust her, cause I do, it's just seeing that Alex kid with my mate is enough but now I have to deal with some jerk off who thinks he can just touch my mate when ever he likes. When he came in and looked at my mate I knew they were familiar with each other.

My blood boiled at the many thoughts that rushed through my head of what they were to each other. I figured I could tolerate him but as soon as he reached out to touch my mate I couldn't help but growl at him in repulse.

Comparing him to Alex was kind of hard. At first, I thought Alex was intimate with Amara, but I realized that he was merely a brother in her eyes. But this kid, he was no brother. I could see it in the way she looked at him, her shocked expression and the way she shifted uncomfortably under his gaze.

Leaving her with him was one of the hardest things I've had to do, but I did, and all though I regretted it deeply, I couldn't turn back. I just hoped that everything would be okay.

I tried to stop thinking about what she was doing but I couldn't stop my thought from wondering off to her. Jake kept giving me looks but I just brushed him off. I knew he was concerned but I didn't think to let him in. As a member of my pack, I knew jake would be concerned but I didn't need his questions or concern at all. I tried to focus on their conversation instead of listening to my own thoughts replay in my head.

Jake and his mate talked on and on about how there weekend went and a bunch of useless mushiness until she mentioned something that caught my attention.

" I'm not sure what to do, I was thinking a party but I don't know who I should invite yah know, I mean after all it his her birthday on Monday. " Katy talked casually to jake about her upcoming problem.

" Who's birthday?" I asked her.

" Amara's, it's on Monday." she told me. I love how no one fills me in in this shit. I looked to jake with a glare and his raised up his hands in defense, explains to me he no idea.

I was glad I had over heard her talking because now I could think about what to get Amara instead of where she was or what she was doing. I walked back to my next class and started to debate about what gift I should get her.

With a new goal set I mind linked my beta and told him what I needed.

I would make her birthday special if it was the last thing I did.

" Ouch, holy shit can you not rip my ears off." Collin yelped out at me as I dragged him to the field.

" Your ears are not the only thing I want to rip off right now." I spat at him. " what in the hell are you doing here Collin?"

" England got boring, thought I'd come and check out America." he said with a shrug.

" Collin stop with the bullshit and tell me why your really here."

He looked at me for a moment before parting his lips.

" My mum got sick, so we moved down here for the medical attention, they don't have the right kind in England." he spoke quietly.

" I'm sorry.." I said awkwardly. I didn't expect that but it still didn't explain much. I decided to let it go and not get to pushy.

We were wrapped in a blanket of silence while we both stood there in front of each other. I was lost in thought as we stared at each other.I was about to open my mouth to speak until a very painful sting shot through my head. I held onto my head while leaning to the side. I thought about what Alex said about my full transformation.

He told me that I would experience some pain randomly but now was really not the time. I looked up to see Collin holding tightly onto his head as well. I was confused but in to much pain to question it. When the pain died down I snapped back and my thoughts questioned me about Collin.

When he came in class I was extremely shocked but that wasn't the only thing that shocked me. There was something different about him, something I hadn't noticed until now. I was still confused about everything but when I saw him something I side of me told me to touch him, to somehow assure myself of my thoughts.

The silence was killed when Collin looked down at me with an unclear expression on that face I knew all too well. " Are you okay?" he asked me. " yeah I guess. " I replied.

" What just happened?" he asked again.

I thought about what I should say to that but the look on my face told him I didn't know. I was about to speak when I saw his eyes flash golden blue for the second time today. I held my breath as his golden blue flames burned me. He reached his arm out and I looked down at his beautifully painted arm.

There were breathtaking golden swirls with blue waves and specks of red here and there. It went perfectly with his skin tone.

When his arm reached close to mine his tattoo started to move. I was going to question it but something inside me told me that this was right. He placed his arm lightly in mine and I could feel his tattoo slithering its way onto my arm.

It snaked up and wrapped around my arm while still testing on Collins. When our arms were completely together his tattoo's movement was replaced with a bright golden glow.

I could feel my eyes chain gong to there golden red flames as we stood in the empty field surrounded by bright light.

When he pulled away the connection broke and my eyes struggled to turn back into there natural blue cores. Once my heart rate was settled I looked to Collin and all of my thoughts were answered. In that moment I knew he was a sòtèr, just like me. There was no way he wasn't. My mind processed this while I looked at Collin who seemed calm although he had a look in his face that told me he knew as well.

I knew there was no way I was wrong but just because I decided to ask him.

" Are you..."

" Am I what?" he spoke up with a smile.

" You know..."

" I don't think I do." he replied with a smirk. I knew he was messing with me but I decided to play along not wanting it to be awkward.

" God your even bigger ass then I remember." I spat at him playfully.

He laughed at me and started walking to the side of the field where the rain had left its mark.

" What are you doing?"

" Answering your question. " he said with a side smile.

I followed him to the small puddle of water lying on the ground. His eyes shown a bright golden blue and the water from the puddle swirled up to his finger tips. I watched as he played around with the water floating in his hands.

He started to shoot it at me and I laughed out loud when he formed his hand into a gun and shot water out of his finger tips in my direction. When he had had enough he dropped the water and walked back to me.

" Nice water boy. " I said sarcastically when he approached me.

" Ha, I'd like to see you take down water boy. " he spat at me.

" Anytime anyplace. " I replied with a smirk.

He held his hand out, mimicking my expression and took my hand in his.

He looked up at me with playfulness in his eyes.

With one last look he gripped my hand tighter and pulled me into him.

" It's a date. " he whispered to me.
