My Long Ago Hero's My Mate?!

Chapter One

Christie's POV

I was at the community pool that the four largest packs share. My friends and I were standing towards the back fence. Kris had said something funny and we were all laughing. The air around me smelled different all of a sudden. Mandy gasped as she looked behind me and saw four HUGE wolves. I turned around and look in the eyes of the one directly behind me. He was the one who smelled so good.

He had dark black fur, that of an alpha. His eyes were a deep ocean blue. I heard my wolf howl in my mind. "Mate!", she said. He shifted to his human form and put his shorts on. His eyes were just as gorgeous, his hair was jet black and went down to his eyes, his body was muscular, and he had some kind of symbol on his wrist. I knew it was the symbol for his pack, but he crossed his arms before I could get a good look at it. My dad started walking over to us, I knew he had been watching me and saw me go stiff when my wolf had yelled at me.

"Is there a problem here?", he asked.

I turned around and stood in front of my mate.

"No daddy. There's no problem. He's my...", I trailed off as he wrapped his arms around my waist and gave a deep growl of protection.

"He's your mate?", my dad asked.

"Yes daddy.", I replied as I looked down at his arms. I had a clear view of his wrist this time and I waited for my dad to walk away. I grabbed his hands and pushed them away. He looked at me with anger and sadness.

"Christie. What's wrong?" , my friend, Kris, was surprised by my actions.

"We can't... We can't be mates.", I said with sadness.

"What do you mean?", Sandy and Mandy asked together.

I grabbed his right arm and showed them his wrist. All three of my friends gasped. He looked at me.

"What? I'm still not understanding.", there was pain in his voice.

It hurt me. I started to try to speak, but I couldn't. I couldn't breathe because I was freaking out. I started to hyperventilate. He grabbed my waist and turned me to face him. He lifted my chin and kissed me. My breathing slowed down and I started to kiss him back. Kris grabbed my arm and pulled me back. He and I both gave a small whimper, but I soon knew why she did it. My head started hurting and I fell to the ground holding my head. A small growl came from my throat. My mate and his friends stared at me. I looked for my twin brother and let out another growl when I saw him fighting a guy from another pack. I went to lunge for him when my friends grabbed my arms. My mate wrapped his arms around my waist and held me.

"Oliver!", I yelled for my brother.

My dad went and grabbed him out of the pool. The boy who had started it, jumped out of the pool and ran home. My dad took Oliver to the pack doctor. I relaxed in my mates arms and linked Oliver.

"Oliver are you ok?", I asked.

"Yes sis, I'm fine. How are you? Does your head still hurt?", he always wanted to make sure I was ok and be strong for me.

"My head is fine. I'm fine. My m...", I couldn't bring myself to say it. Oliver and I did everything together. Mom and dad always told us not to expect to find our mates on the same day or at the same time. We always planned on it though.

"Your mate has you.", he stated.

"Yeah. How'd you know?", knowing the answer, I asked the question anyways.

"Christie, we're twins. We have a special bond. You know this.", he replied. I heard him cry out in pain and I wrapped my mates arms around me more.

"I know Oliver.", I whispered and cut the link. I whimpered as my mate turned me around and I buried my face in his chest.

"It'll be ok sweetie. By the way, my name is Derek." , he whispered in my ear.

"You've heard my name, but I'm Christie.", I replied quietly. I snuggled closer to him and whimpered again. I heard Mandy say something to Sandy.

"She can't take much more of the pain. She's gonna pass out.", Sandy stated.

Derek looked at her. I let out one last whimper before I went limp in his arms as the darkness engulfed me.
