"Please, don't go," I whispered as I started kissing her neck once again.

She caressed my head but started saying the reasons why she knew it was wrong.

"We can't do this, Triton," she told me. "It is killing us, and it is destroying our families. Imagine how the pack would react if they were to discover us here? If they discovered that you were in the woods with me, kissing and caressing? As much as I love you and as much as we are mates, we are also enemies, Triton."

"No!" I said, my face still buried in her neck. "I don't care what they think! I don't care what will happen! All I want is you."

My Enemy, My Mate

I awoke to the sound of birds outside my window. I pulled my letter for my mate out from underneath my pillow. I peeked outside my curtain and saw blue jays and cardinals dotting the branches of the trees. It was such a lovely morning, and I saw my breath fog up the glass. I could not help it, and I drew a picture of a smiley face in my fog. 


I chuckled at my own childishness and got dressed for the day. I wore my leggings and leg warmers today because it was pretty cold out. I made my way out into the dark morning. I had my letter clasped closely to my chest as I continued my trek across the forest and towards the old tree. I nestled it securely in the tree trunk and kissed it before continuing my journey to school.
