Chapter 6

I never thought that I could feel like this with someone. I used to dread the day that I would find my mate because I was scared. I spent hours hiding from any guy that walked into the Dinner just so that I wouldn't get the dreadful visions but this boy was so sweet and willing to do anything for me. It was something I had never experienced before and half of me felt like I didn't deserve it, like it would disappear when I looked away.

The whole time we spent just in each others company helping with homework was amazing. I never thought that doing something so simple would make me happier then I had ever been. For hours we would laugh and discuss how we thought the teachers hated us because of the piles of homework that we had to do each night. Although in my mind I didn't mind the increased load it still felt amazing to just talk normally. Like we were two kids falling deeply in love, all the worries and past went out the window. Before we knew it, it was 4 in the morning. I hadn't realized that the time went by so quickly and there was no use in trying to sleep for two hours and then waking up to get ready for school.

We decided that I would walk him home because I wanted to go on a run anyways I might as well have a starting point. The breeze was a little chilly but still nice. The peacefulness of the nature around us was so beautiful and I couldn't help but smile at the fact that I was finally letting myself live a little. Only one small problem came about when I realized that I had agreed to walk Donavan to the house of the pack that wanted nothing to do with me.

The worst part came when his parents were waiting on the front porch talking waiting for him to arrive. Once they realized that we were near them they stood up abruptly and gave me a piercing glare. His mother looked fairly familiar and when she opened her mouth I understood why.

"Donavan you have been out all night with her?"

"Yes mother, we were helping each other with homework and lost track of time."

"That is not a good enough excuse for being four and a half hours past curfew. I understand that their is a new shiny toy at school you haven't tried yet but bringing her back here was not the right choice either"

"Mom, she is my mate"

"Oh I am sure if feels like that now but she is a human with no idea who you truly are"

I thought about that statement for a while. I understood her confusion because I had changed my last name to avoid my old pack from realizing who I was and hunting me down but it wasn't like I didn't smell like a werewolf. Humans and werewolf's smelt different afterall. Also this woman was the principle of the school and could get rid of me any time she pleased.

"Mother I saw her visions of the past, I know she is my true mate because she saw them too."

"That is impossible. There is no other pack in the area so how could she have won the writing contest. "

"Well actually that's because you decided to throw me away" I voiced not even trying to hide the distain in my voice. It wasn't like she could really do any physical damage to me at the moment without hurting her own son. She could send me away but then instead of saving her son from having the alpha place taken from him she would be making sure he never got it when he followed me. Now it was a lose lose situation for her.

"But your last name isn't the same that's why I decided that you could win" She stuttered

"There are such things as changing ones said last name" I replied trying to will my voice not to tremble thinking about my parents.

"You need to leave this instant. I can't expel you but I can make sure you are never welcomed here"

"You do that mother and you lose the only son you have" Even though I knew he would say that it still surprised me to see how forward he was without even missing a single beat. Parts of me wanted him to be with me and only want me to fulfill his happiness but another side of me saw how much he wanted to be the alpha and I couldn't jeopardize that even if I wanted to. I was starting to fall for his charisma and charm only making me see more reasons on why he should be the next alpha.

"I think I should go and get ready for school"

"Oh now you care about your future. Maybe instead of only seeing things that effect you, you should do what's right for my son and leave us alone. I forbid you from going near him or this place ever again"

"Mother this is insane you should be happy that I finally found my mate and want to be with her."

"Not when its the wolf that prophesied your downfall"

"What"

"What ever you think about me erase it. You have no idea what I have gone through to get to this point just because you were scared that I would make your son not become the alpha. In fact you are the one making him not become alpha because of your decisions not mine, so really you should only be scared of yourself. Goodbye"

Without another word I transformed into my wolf and bolted away from the conversation. The audasity of that women to say all those things about me when she was the one that was forcing me and her son to do the things we were doing. If she only accepted that she has no control over what happens in our life then she could see that her son will become the best alpha there has ever been in that pack and that I was only there to support him and make him happy. When I reached home I saw a text from my boss offering me 9-5 shifts for the rest of the week. Like he knew I needed the break from my school life. I quickly accepted without thinking and emailed my teachers saying that I was feeling under the weather and wouldn't be able to attend any more classes this week but will be back next week refreshed and healthy. After doing all the preparation I decided to take a two hour nap before having to go to work.

Running away from my problems had never been my answer but I needed to think some things through before I made any more choices about my future and Donavan. This chance also gave me the opportunity to not let his beautiful eyes or calming smile deuterate me from making the hard right decision. But what that was for sure I was unclear about and I hoped it would become clear very soon. I couldn't stay away forever.
