Previously on Our Pain:

"Well, Elizabeth Angelos, my name's Jughead Forsythe Jones, it's my pleasure, dear mate of mine that I wish could spend the eternity of life with me."

......................................................................

Elizabeth's pov
The next day, I was at home, cutting vegetables with my mom in the small "kitchen" when I heard Annette screaming for me.

"What is it Anne, I'm helping mother with the cooking I cannot come right now."

"it's really important Liza, someone's at the door. It's for you." Frowning, I look up at my mother who was looking at me confused. I never had any friends other than Annette, and everyone in my family knew that, so I wasn't surprised when my mother looked at me confused. I was just as confused as she was, but I didn't show it.

Instead, I washed my hands clean and made my way to the front door which was only a few feet away from the kitchen.

Our house was very small and had just enough of the necessary rooms. Two bedrooms, one small bathroom, a very small kitchen and a living room where we usually dined.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I smelled the delicious, wooden scent that filled my lungs much like yesterday afternoon. I looked up the moment his smell consumed me.

In front of me was standing my mate, Jughead Forsythe Jones, in all his mighty glory. With all his handsomness and hotness. I felt Abby stir and immediately get excited when she recognized Jughead and his wolf.

[Calm down Abb.]

"Elizabeth, hi, how are you?"

I looked at him in shock, grabbed him with force by the arm and dragged him outside after closing the main door after me.

"what are you doing here Forsythe?? You can't just come to my home unexpectedly!" he frowned before opening his mouth to speak.

"What? Why not?"

"Are you serious Jughead??"

"Of course I am, why can't I come see you?"

"Jughead, if I'm your mate doesn't mean you can come to my house when you please, I only gave you instructions to where I live because I knew that if I didn't Abby would get mad at me." That was one of the biggest lies I've ever told anyone, I actually wanted to see him again, but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing that.

"You're a really bad liar koúkla, you know that?" (Koúkla: greek for doll).

"Look Jughead, I told you, I need time to process everything, I'm still new to this and I just- I'm not looking for any kind of relationship right now, I hope I didn't hurt you with my words but that's the truth, you know nothing about me an-."

"That's the thing, baby, I want to know everything about you, I want us to be mates, and not only by name. I want us to build a relationship, and I know that you want and need time, I'm willing to give you all the time that you need, there is no reason for our love to be rushed, me and Arthur -my wolf- couldn't take it anymore, so I simply let my heart guide me here." I gulped and looked to the floor. Goddess this man was the sweetest, but I wasn't one to give in so easily.

"I really appreciate it Jughead, thank you, it means alot to me that you're willing to take this seriously and give me the time I need to comprehend what's happened so far. And about forming a real relationship with each other, I guess I'll think about it, why don't you come over tomorrow, I'll meet you here, same hour, I think my decision would be made by then."

"Awesome, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, goodbye, agápi mou." (Agápi mou: greek for my love.)

"Bye, Forsythe." I went back inside to see Annette trying to eavesdrop on our little conversation. I sighed.

"Anne, come on you can't just eavesdrop on our conversation!!"

"Why not Liz!? You're totally into him, I know you're too proud to admit it."

"That is not true young girl, I'm not into him, Abby might me, but I am not."

"You, keep telling yourself that." She shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips, before turning away and heading to our shared bedroom.

Once I stepped foot into the kitchen, I was bombarded with questions from my mother, who had flying vegetables swimming around her.

"Mom, calm down, it was no one special, no need to panic."

"Elizabeth!! I'm your mother I can clearly see that it was not a simple no one, and I'm also a witch, a very powerful one for that matter, I can sense it when two soul mates are close to one another." I had totally forgotten that.

I look down to the floor before practically running away and making my way to the small locked park. The park has been locked for almost twenty years now, when the king found out that people were practicing black and dark magic there, he shut it down and it was never opened again.

It's my safe place, it has been ever since I became of age where it was time for my wolf to show. You're supposed to meet your wolf at the age of eleven minimum, the majority of the time people meet their wolves at this age naturally, naturally meaning that it's your time to meet the wolf inside of you, you meet your wolf unnaturally when you kill someone, that's when you trigger your werewolf curse, but it's rare to meet them unnaturally.

Once I'm there, I unleash all my built up feelings from this week with my magic. Dead trees and grass are being thrown everywhich way. I'm so frustrated, I can't keep it in anymore. I've always had to keep it in. I'm the first one of my species; hybrid. I'm part wolf from my father, and part witch from my mother if you haven't guessed. No one other than my parents and Annette know. And I'm scared. That's basically the biggest reason why I don't want to get involved with my mate.

What if he hates me once he finds out that I'm not a normal supernatural, what if he leaves me, what if he tells on me and they come and get me to kill me, what if he decides he doesn't like this part of me and breaks my heart. All those thoughts run through my mind as I'm still doing magic and throwing spells everywhere trying to find some release.

"Elizabeth!!" I hear this very familiar voice call out to me, and that's when I smell it, his beautiful forested aroma. I let out softly once I was snapped out of it.

"Forsythe."
