"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 was in wolf form and running through the forest. I felt the thawing earth beneath my feet pushing me off. The plant life smelled so alive and marvelous. But, I could not enjoy it. My mind was a storm. My heart was depressed, and my spirit felt somewhat broken. 


I ran through the night and saw the sun break over the horizon. I knew that we wanted to repair the rift between the packs. I knew we wanted to make peace between the packs. But, yesterday, I realized that this was not going to happen. Her father saw me and looked at me in disgust. I saw how much he hated me. I saw how deep his eyes bore into my soul. 


I felt their judgment and their disgust. How could I ever expect to gain their honor? But, I knew her mom seemed to understand me and how I felt for her. But, I did not even try to explain how I felt for his daughter, and Ariana's dad already hates me. Do I really think he will change how he feels because I tell him I am his daughter's mate?
