Chapter 2

My dad called, he wanted me to come home because there was some type of werewolf event tonight. Of course he didn't give me many details as he never does. But I know better not to argue with my father as much as I didn't want to go I still did. After the call I ran upstairs got a white cropped tank top a pair of high waisted jeans a leather jacket and some wedged boots. Then I grabbed my twin crystal necklace me and belle had and put it on. As much as I should dress up im not, because why dress up for some dumb event you didn't want to attend. Then i went downstairs got my keys an walked to my car. I got into my car and drove to my dads house. There I was met by my dad and mom. We greeted one another and drove off to this place we were supposed to have this so called event. My dad looked me from head to toe and asked "Lexi is that seriously what your wearing?!" He demanded for an answer but I shook my head and nodded yes. My father hated when I didn't dress up for events like this. Especially me showing up in jeans. I sighed and went into the building. When I smelled something. Mates have very strong smells and then your attracted to him/her. Well I could smell him from the entrance. Then it hit me. This isn't any event, this is the mate event. I needed to get out of there but I knew my father wouldn't let me until I at least met the guy. I rolled my eyes and walked to where my parents were. There stood a tall guy, short black hair, beautiful green eyes and he was wearing a suit.

Man I thought he's stunning. But I can't get attached. I can't allow myself to do that. So I walked to them. Stared at him, arms crossed. "Hello" I said in the grumpiest voice.

"Hello, my name is aiden black. We are mates"he said calmly. No I thought. NO! I needed to get out of there. So I said "uh-uh it was nice meeting you Aiden but I need to get some air." I ran out of there into the woods shifting as I ran. I didn't know what to do I can't have a mate! I just can't. I ran to the edge of the cliff when I heard foot steps. It was him… oh god I thought he'll see me as a white wolf!! No one can know!! Only my family knows.. it's dangerous for anyone else to know… I quickly transformed back. Staring out at the landscape. I sighed and said "what do you want Aiden" "I'm not here to disturb you I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for coming off as pushy about the whole mate thing. Your dad told me to say something to you. But I'm completely okay with you taking your time to get used to it ok" he said to me calmly. Awe I thought he's so thoughtful. But I can't tell Him that I can't get attached so I just said "I-I can't be with you Aiden you have to find someone else please." "But I can't just choose someone else it doesn't work like that" "You will find someone I know you will. I just can't be with you for reasons I'm not going to say ok" I said trying to hold back tears. I can't cry in front of him I thought and I can't tell him about belle. He sighed and walked away. But before he did he whispered "I won't stop trying I hope you know that. But I won't push I know limits. And if your worried I would hurt you or I would do something stupid I wouldn't. I'm not that type of mate." He said walking away. I thought why would he bring up the whole hurting mates thing.. If only he knew how much that hurts me… I stared out across the cliff. I sighed. And then turned around and walked back to where my parents were.
