"So you are the special one they are talking about?"

I was shaken up when I heard the voice and raised my head to meet a gorgeous woman in her stunning attire. When did she come in? I didn't hear the door opening.

She was smirking at me, waiting for me to give a reply, and I just sighed.

"Seriously? I am fed up with hearing this question again and again. Why do you all think I am special? I mean, you all are the special ones, being vampires and werewolves, while I am just a normal girl, a mere human, to be precise."

Desperation filled my voice, but then the lady spoke.

"You are way more special than us, because you are his MATE."
.................................

Atarah Davidson led more than a simple life despite being a teenager.
She was raised by her 'good for nothing' grandparents as she was told that her parents died in an accident.

But soon her life changed, after being kidnapped by vampires. Though she tried to escape, something stopped her. Maybe it's him, Mr. Perfect.

Ryan O' Donnels, who is said to be her mate, was full of secrets. He was a man with the heart of steel and many demonic powers.

But when each of his secrets started to reveal, she knew that all her life was a lie. That she's not just a mere human. That she indeed belonged to him.

"But you know what hurts more?"

His eyes were invading mine.

"What?"

I don't know if he even heard that, because my breath hitched in my throat, making me unable to speak.

"That you are not mine yet...officially."

My heart skipped a beat or two and I stood there like a statue. He did not just talk about marriage, right? Or did he?

Maybe, just maybe, Ryan is not that hard hearted, maybe there's love in it somewhere..... for his beautiful mate. Who would know?
