Caitlyn and Colton found out they were mates a year ago. Caitlyn wanted to wait until after graduation before accepting Colton publicly. Excerpt: . “You know why I am wanting to wait. Once everyone finds out, everything changes. All the fake people will try to be my friend, while the others will envy me. I happen to enjoy being the loner and not the center of attention.” I bent down to grab my shorts and he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. “Please. I have liked you since the 3rd grade. This is killing me to not be able to be an actual couple. You won’t even let me be a mate in secret. You are forcing me to ignore you. I don’t like this.” He whispered out. It sounded almost painful for him to say all that. I sighed and looked at him. He looked so broken. I snatched my wrist back. “I don’t know what you expect of me. I am not some girl who is going to give into you just because you look like a sad puppy. I am wanting to finish off high school the way I have always been and then we go public. For now, please just see this my way.” I pleaded. He finally nodded and ran his hand through his hair. “Can I at least get one kiss?” He asked looking at me with sadness in his eyes. I should have said no, but I nodded, and I instantly regretted saying yes to a kiss.
