Luna Dea

5)Yours... I'd Rather Eat Cold Cheese Toastie

Avalon pov

Mate. Mate. Go to mate. I just stood there shocked as I stared in to his eyes. Dea was screaming everything she could think of to do with mate.

I watched dumbstruck as he walked over to me, his mouth open, his eyes never leaving mine.

As soon as he got close to me, he pulled me in to him and mumbled mine over and over again. I leaned in to him, transfixed with the sparks flying whenever we would touch, it was addicting.

I think this is when I finally came to my senses. Against every fibre in my body, I pulled away. A mate!

Sure the moon goddess or me made mates, but I don't actually bond every single mate. The bonding is done randomly. The first person you come across, as soon as you are 18 or over, that you are completely compatable with, will be your mate. But I am the moon goddess, I am not meant to have a mate. What to do. What to do.

I know. If I pretend I am human for now then they would have to let me go. I already smell human because I was born human.

I put on a face of horror and confusion and stared at him.

"What. On. Earth. Are. You. Talking. About." I said slowly, not breaking eye contact.

I saw him sniff the air and his eyes widened. He thinks we're human. Dea whimpered. It is better this way, now we can figure everything out then tell him. Plus this means he would have to work harder for me. I mentally smirked.

I put on the most horrified face I could and said "Yours. What do you mean I'm yours. I would rather eat a cold cheese toastie than belong to anyone"

"I - I'm sorry" he mumbled.

"Who do you think you are?" I asked whilst walking away.

It took everything in me to turn around and walk out the door. As soon as I was out of sight, I released a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

I tried to remember everything I could about mates. Okay, so once you have completed the mating process, you will be able to read your mates mind and link them personally. If one mate dies, the other will too as you can't live without your mate. And heat. Oh no, heat.

When you have met your mate, after 2 months of meeting them, the woman will go through heat every full moon. Heat is where the woman will be in immense pain and it will feel as if her body is on fire. This only lasts a night, but it can be a very painful experience. I made this to try and make the mating process speed up as the only way to releave yourself of the pain is by completing the mating process. Most mates don't get past 3 months.

Why on earth did I make heat? I bolt in to the woods and scream. What did I do to insult the world and give me a MATE. I know what I can do. I looked around and honed in my sensitive ears, no one is around. I whistled the 3 note tune my mum taught us.

I sat in a tree and waited. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I heard a pop. I looked around and saw that there was a small hole in the air, too small for a human to see. I watched it grow and grow until it burst. There stood my sister Olive.

"Olive!" I exclaimed and went to hug her but I went straight through her.

I turned back and looked at her with one eyebrow raised.

"I couldn't convince them to let me go down here in person so they compromised with me coming here in spirit so I can't stay long. So, why did you call me here?" she explained.

I took a deep breath "Ifoundmymate."

It took her a minute to translate what I had just said.

"WHAT. I thought you couldn't have a mate."
