Xavier takes another step in my direction, backing me up against the wall. He tips my head to the side and plants a soft kiss on my neck.
"Do you have any idea what you do to me?", he murmurs, placing small kisses on my jawline.
I try to take a deep breath to calm myself down, but the smell of his cologne just makes me even dizzier.
"Xa-Xavier, you're drunk", I stutter.
He smirks, slowly brushing his lips against mine.
"I'm fine. Come on, Evie. You know you want me", he purrs, nibbling my bottom lip.
I close my eyes, trying to gather the courage to push him away, but to no avail.
"We've both wanted this since the moment we laid eyes on each other. Stop fighting it, my love", he whispers into my ear.
You know what?
Fuck it. Fuck the 365 days. He's right. I want him. So fucking badly.
***************
What do you do when the one person who's supposed to love you, doesn't want anything to do with you?
Evelyn Harris's life changed the day she laid her eyes on Xavier.
Her soulmate.
But what should have been a joyous occasion, became the most heartbreaking moment in her life, when she found out that her mate doesn't want her.
Now, she'll have to survive 365 days with him and his pack in order to leave with her heart intact. Or so she hopes.
Because the more time she spends with the Crescent Moon Pack, the more she realizes how difficult it'll be to say goodbye to these people who have given her everything she has ever longed for.
A real home.

**********
Sophie introduced Trevor to my mate and I watched Denver interact with them before excusing herself to the kitchen. I could tell she noticed my gaze on her but made no motion to acknowledge it. She was shy around me and I found it incredibly cute. As she finished pouring herself a cup of water I came up behind her placing my hands on both her hips. I made an excuse that I was reaching behind her to get a glass for myself but frankly I didn't give a fück about anything else. I could have been reaching for a rubber ducky for all I care, I just needed an excuse to get near her.
I felt the sparks erupt around us as I grazed my lips against her jaw. I heard her sharp intake of breath and inwardly smirked loving the affect I had on her. Damien howled inside my head wanting to be closer to our mate. She gazed into my eyes and I could practically see all the little thoughts going through her pretty head. She was most likely wondering why she felt sparks when I touched her. Oh my little mate that will be a story for another day. She grabbed her glass and made her way back over to Sophie and her friends but not before her arm brushed against my side. I let out a small growl, the urge to pull her close to me and never let her go was overwhelming. I could feel my eyes turning black as my wolf surfaced and I did my best to reel him in before making my way out of the kitchen.
