According to legend, finding your mate is finding the other half of your soul. They are the other piece to yourself and when you find them, you are filled with a sense of completion. They are your life and you love them with everything you have.
I took a breath and composed myself before answering.
‘I’d like that’ I said.
‘Good because I know my father would love you as his daughter-in-law. You’d make a great Luna and hopefully if it’s what you want as well, we can start our own family’.
His words made me blush. I barely knew him, and I wasn’t sure what I really wanted at this point.
‘Tyler I know you’re my mate but I’m not going to turn into some whipped teenager who wants you to be her first and love her forever. I barely know you and I am still yet to understand how this bond thing works.’
‘I know we hardly know each other and we both have a lot to learn but one thing I’ve learned growing up is to not deny yourself your mate. We were supposed to be mates for a reason. Whatever the reason may be then so be it. I am not going to deny myself this just because of how long we have known each other. I already feel connected to you on a whole other level.’
Suddenly I felt his body move closer to mine and I did not hesitate. I guess I wanted this too. He moved one hand to cup my face while the other held my hips. He brushed kisses over my jaw before trailing down to my neck.
‘This is where one day I will mark you as mine’ he said planting light kisses.
I was momentarily stunned before my lips moved to meet his. Our first kiss and I wanted more which was wrong. I was practically kissing a stranger but something inside me did not care. My wolf knew I was kissing my mate and everything was right in the world.
We finally broke apart and I was in control again. I thought back to his statement about one day marking me.
‘What did you mean by marking me one day?’ I asked.
‘I know you are not ready, but before we go to war I will. It will give you extra power and you’ll be able to heal better if the worst happens. We’ll also be connected and I’ll be able to hear you in my head as well as sense if you are in danger and then, just maybe, you may be one of those whipped teenagers after I have my way with you’ he said winking at me playfully.
‘Does that mean I’ll be able to hear you too?’
‘Yeah but I know how to block you out, you don’t missy’ he smirked again.
‘Damn you then’ I said turning my head away slightly.
His hand came back under my chin and turned my head so that I was facing him.
‘What?’
‘Can I kiss you again?’ he asked so genuinely.
That surprised me. I had never known a guy, let alone a man ask if he could kiss me. I just blinked at him. The next thing I knew I had answered ‘yes’.
I felt his lips on mine. They were so soft. The kiss started out soft and sweet but deepened. His tongue met mine in a wave of desire. I had kissed other boys but it was nothing like this. This was absolute bliss and passion all rolled into one. My mate tasted like heaven.
Tyler then once again surprised me.
‘I know we may have not known each other long but I know that I am going to fall in love with you’.
I smiled at his words before placing my lips on his. We spent the rest of the afternoon just making out and talking on the bank by the river. For a while, I was allowed to feel like a normal teenager and I could not be happier.
Tyler was healing the brokenness I had felt for so long and it felt good.
Chapter 9
Every day we practiced focusing on stamina and strength. Every day I got a little stronger and my feelings for Tyler were deepening. I was definitely falling in love with him. I craved his touch and when I wasn't with him, I felt like a part of me was missing.
I now sounded like the whipped teenager and I knew he would make fun of me about that
We had been spending quite a lot of time with each other when we were not training. We spent every free class and lunch at school together, getting to know one another a little more every day. Our bond between us was growing each day and we got closer as a couple too.
I found myself being able to trust him with everything. Things I had never told anyone before were easy to tell him. He understood me in a way that no one else was able to.
I told him about my father and his plans for me and the deal I had made about leaving the pack was mentioned quite a bit.
It was agreed that I would leave with Tyler and his family’s pack once the war between wolves and hunters was finally over.
I couldn’t wait to leave this hell forever. The sad thing was that I knew deep down I would not even miss them or my cousin. After Tyler and his pack came to stay with us, she had left me alone. I had understood now that because I had made the choice to leave my birthright and disobey my father I was not to be associated with. That was pack law and how the hierarchy worked.
Word had spread to the hunters that the wolves were ready for them, now it was just a waiting game for when they planned to attack. Every day until then I would train and get to know Tyler a little more.
He had been training me for almost a month now and we were getting closer to each other. I felt a connection with him that I had never felt. We had planned to complete the mating process as close to the time the war with the hunters would start. I was nervous but excited. I knew Tyler was a good kisser so I could only imagine what he was like in bed.
I hadn't spoken to my family since the pack meeting and I wasn't planning on it either. I only really spoke to Nate and even those conversations were strained. I knew he had been ordered not to speak to me unless necessarily and the pain from disobeying an Alpha’s command was painful to him.
He would be following me on the field to help protect me and distract the hunters. I really wanted this fight to be over finally so I could move on with my life and without a family who was selfish.
In a few days, I would graduate from high school, finally. I wanted to focus on this war and then my freedom and my future with Tyler.
Tyler and I had spoken about starting a family in about two years or so depending on how ready I felt and where my mind set was. I wanted to be at least eighteen before I even thought about that. I didn’t know many young wolves who were having pups.
Tyler wanted to train me first and enjoy 'the honeymoon period' of finding each other before Alpha decisions would come into it
Honestly, I think he just wanted alot of sex but he would not admit it. Either way I was willing and I was ready to take control of my life. I knew what I wanted more than ever and it involved only Tyler and my plans of leaving this hellhole and starting a new life.
Tyler interrupted me from my thoughts.
'Are you staying with me tonight?'
'If you want, it’s up to you'.
Since we had found out we were mated we could not stand to be away from our mates for too long. I discovered that I could not sleep unless I was beside him and we were touching somehow, whether it would be by holding hands, his arms around me or our backs touching.
The nights he was not there, I spent wide-awake and was cranky the next day.
I thought it was sweet. As soon as he was gone, I missed him. My wolf cried out for him whenever he left. I had finally graduated school and did not have to deal with two-faced people. I avoided all of my pack as best as I could.
I usually spent most of my time at Tyler’s to avoid them. I spent all my time with Tyler and I liked it. He was that one person that just got me and the decisions I made without doubting or questioning me.
Imogen had become even more distant due to my father’s orders and I knew she would never disobey her Alpha, no matter the cost. It didn't really bother me considering the whole family was willing to sacrifice me for future reasons. Besides, she wouldn't be joining me when I left the pack. She had her future here with her own family.
A lone wolf never made it far on their own, espe
cially an unmated female. Even I knew that and I could not be bothered with pack law or meetings. It wasn’t that I was not interested, it was that I never had the drive to learn and dive myself into it. I knew enough to help when Tyler became Alpha.
I used to spend most of my nights with my head in a book, reading ancient stories and laws of the wolf. The last few months I spent trying to discover where the white wolf came from. I found no stories about them or how they came to be.
The internet came up short too. So much for Google knowing everything. It just came up with a few references to Twilight and Jacob Black. As much as I would indulge and embrace that I needed to remain focused and I was desperate for answers, something I rarely ever received around here.
All I could think about was that in less than a few weeks I would be out of here and starting my new life with Tyler.
Chapter 10
‘What are you thinking about?’ asked Tyler, playing with my hair while I was lying on his chest after a night watching movies in his room.
We had been together for over three months now and time had sure flown by. He was a pain in my ass most of the time but he was the only one who could make me smile lately.
Every day the fight was getting closer. The hunters were on the move and were moving in on our position. The plan was that I’d be ‘alone’ in the woods hunting when they surround me knowing I’m a white wolf from the information they had received during a ‘tip off phone call’. The others would then attack, eliminating them once and for all.
To me it was an early death sentence to some of the pack. This was not necessary in my opinion. I knew that many deaths would take place by doing this. No one would listen to me though because I was just a kid and kids know nothing. I did not understand the ancient ways and pack law.
The hunters had not threatened us since I had been born and it wasn’t just us. They wanted all packs destroyed. This time we were asking for a fight and that was what we would get, whether we could handle it or not.
I finally decided to answer Tyler’s question.
‘I’m just worried about the fight; I don’t want people to lose their lives for nothing. The hunters have never been a real threat to us’.
He kissed my forehead.
‘I know but it’s not your fault though. Your dad bought up the idea and you made it clear that you wanted no part in this fight, he’s basically forced you into it’. He brushed a piece of hair that had escaped my ponytail.
‘So, how are you feeling really?’ I asked him. He knew I wanted the truth and no lies.
‘I feel good now that you’re here’.
Lately Tyler was the only one who was there for me. It caused both of us physical pain to be away from each other. That was something I had not quite heard of when it came to mates. No one could give me an explanation and my only guess was on that it was related to my genetics and being a white wolf.
After this fight, I would be travelling back with his pack and moving in with him.
We would become the Alpha/Luna couple in training and work alongside his parents. I was looking forward to leaving behind all the shit in my life. The only thing I knew I would regret was leaving my brother.
Imogen was now banned from seeing, talking to or any kind of communication with me. Our mind link had been broken. It hurt but I would have to live with it. In a week, she would be part of my life no longer.
‘Tyler what happens when I join your pack? Do I have to attend college or?’
‘Dad would like both of us to go to college and in a sense I guess we should but i want to focus on running the pack together. Eventually we will talk about pups, I guess, but only when you are ready. I do not want to force you and now everyone waits until they are older anyway. It is not as if the species is dying out. I just want kids with you and to have an heir. I want a sick ass sex life with you though. You can’t get out of that one’ he said biting my neck.
The funny thing was we hadn’t fully mated yet. We hadn’t had sex or performed the bite as such. No matter how cliché that sounded we were saving it for our special night, not because we both needed a boost of strength or that it would ensure we were at the peak of our abilities. We were going to do it for us, because it felt right. No one could take that away from me or from Tyler.
We had talked about it and planned it for a few days time and to be honest I couldn’t wait. For once, I was doing something for me because I wanted it and nothing was going to stop me, not even this fight. Hallelujah.
Chapter 11
I had been dreaming about this day for as long as I can remember.
As a little girl, all the movies and books described a perfect romantic setting compared to a messy and unprepared first time like most people. I wasn’t delusional in expecting roses and candles all around the bed, but I hoped for something magical at least, fireworks were welcome.
No one really knew how to prepare for something like this. Even if you say you were going to do it, it doesn’t really happen. You cannot plan it. It just happens. I had a feeling that today would be the day.
Something inside me was stirring. My wolf was restless and just wanted to see her other half. I could do with seeing Tyler as well.
That morning I was awoken by a text from Tyler asking me to meet him at his house after lunch. I decided the best way to avoid questions and talking to me dad, was to sneak out of my window. I had not been to my house in days. I don’t think they even knew I was in my bedroom. I tried to only come when no one was home or where all doing pack business.
After dad was so easy to give me up in a war, I went out of my way to be as horrible and distant as possible. I had not spoken more than five words to my father since I found out I was mated to Tyler. He still didn’t’ deserve any oxygen that left my mouth.
My mum was always busy with her Luna duties and my brothers were busy with their own lives. Imogen was banned from seeing and talking to me. I would be on my own if it was not for Tyler and his family. He had saved me.
I was still training with him for the upcoming battle. We were just waiting to receive word from the other wolf pack that lived further up north to tell us of the hunters positions, then we would strike and I would be free of my pack, ready to start my new life with my mate and soon to be alpha.
I glanced at my bedside table to see the clock and saw that it was almost lunchtime. I climbed down onto the window ledge and made the jump to the tree branch right next to the ledge. I proceeded to climb down and checked my surroundings.
Once I was sure that I was alone I made my way to Tyler’s. He had given me a key to his place that hung around my neck so I could easily slip in or come here if I could not be at home. He gave me the key after standing outside his house for more than an hour due to him not being able to hear me. His excuse was that he was preoccupied playing his Xbox. The key was a ‘precaution’ in case it happened again.
When I got to his front door I saw that it was locked. I unlocked the door, let myself in and locked it once again. I walked up the stairs of the house he and his family were staying in. I knocked on his door before walking in. Sure enough he was sitting on his bed playing his Xbox. He saw me and got up, pulling me in for a hug before placing a kiss on my cheek and led me to his bed.
‘How’s my beautiful girlfriend today?’ he asked, making me smile.
‘She’s good’ I replied with a slight strain in my voice. He pulled me into another hug and wrapped his arm around my waist. I put my arms around his neck when I felt him kissing my neck and collarbone. I felt my knees turn to Jelly.
‘Does that feel good?’ he whispered into my ear.
‘Yes’ I replied breathlessly. He continued kissing my neck and collarbone before he started trailing kisses along my jaw until his lips found mine. He pushed me down so he was on top of me when he deepened the kiss. I could feel my heartbeat getting faster and my face began to redden. I kissed his neck and felt him harden.
‘do you have any idea what you do to me?’
/>
‘No’ I replied. He flipped us over so I was on top.
‘Are you sure you want this?’ he asked me.
Here was the boy I had never seen more vulnerable. His eyes were full of concern and fear of pushing me too far, of hurting me like my family had. He cared about me in a way no one else had ever.
‘I swear to you Tyler, I want this more than anything, I want you’ I whispered in his ear and felt him harden once again.
I flipped us so he was on top where I proceeded by unbuttoning his shirt, both of us never once breaking the kiss. My hand explored his well-defined chest. He was beautiful, and he was all mine. Even my wolf growled in appreciation. All I wanted was him, now and forever.
‘I want you Tyler’ I said huskily into his ear.
He pulled me up so I was sitting on his lap but facing him. The next thing I knew my shirt was off, we were still kissing and he was staring at me in my bra. I felt a sudden hit of adrenaline and took off the button of his jeans sliding them down his leg where he proceeded to take off my tights leaving me there in my bra and panties.
‘Enjoying the view?’ I asked flirting with him.
‘I am loving this view; I never understood how gorgeous my girlfriend was’ he smiled looking down at me in adoration. I ignored the girlfriend bit and looked him in the eyes.
‘You sure you’re ready?’ he asked again.
‘I’m sure’ I said with a smile.
The rest of our clothing came off in a daze and he slowly laid me down on the bed. I felt him enter me and then there was no pain.
We were moving as one, feeling the magic in our bloods entwine like a ribbon, and connecting us as soul mates. There were definitely fireworks. I felt our mind links start to connect and soon his thoughts filled my head.
Mine, she is mine and no one else’s…. Feels so god, oh Kaylie… mine, our.
