Forbidden Love

For Life!!

Aura

I desperately needed to feel the night breeze flow through my hair and around my face. My anxiety was through the roof as I made my way to the front door. I hadn’t noticed that my so-called mate had followed me outside. When I noticed him he had this confused look I realized then he didn’t know I was a vampire.

Besides my anxiety, I was in shock that this wolf hadn’t realized I was a vampire as I paced the corner of the parking lot that was pitched dark and shook my head. “ This can’t be happening.” I simply said it out loud not realizing that there was anybody around me. I was just trying to get my mind around what was going on.

“ Well hi I am Aspen nice to meet you and sorry I don’t meet your standards for a mate.” he responded rather irritated and mad. As if shocked back into the reality that he was there, and I couldn’t just stay in my own thoughts I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him, dumbfounded. He opened his eyes wider and waved his hands up in the air, like he still didn’t get why I was so anxious and dumbfounded or confused.

I walked closer to him and popped my fangs out and showed him. The shock took over his face. He took two steps back, finally connecting the dots of the realization. “You’re a vampire!” he all but choked out. As if he was trying to convince himself that this was actually happening and he was mated to a vampire.

“And you’re a werewolf!” I sarcastically responded, turning my head my head and placing my hands on my hips. As I was trying to show he was saying the obvious.

He shook his head and walked closer to me . We were now inches from each other. I had never been this close to a wolf, but I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. I trusted him, even without knowing him something about being connected to him made me feel everything he felt, and I knew that in that moment that he would protect and cherish every part of me, I was still kind of hesitant because he was a wolf and I was a vampire.

We stood there in silence for several minutes just staring into each other’s eyes. We were completely lost in each other it seemed. I finally blinked after what felt like an hour and stepped back. My head was still spinning with confusion over this whole situation that I decided it was time for me to go. I turned and started to walk back to the clubs front door so I could find Raven and head home. My life had been planned out since I was born and nothing was complicated about it. This whole situation definitely complicated my life in just a few minutes my life was upside down. I took another step forward only to have his arms wrap around me from behind me. He pulled me into his chest and I didn’t fight him. It felt right to be with him but it shouldn’t. As I leaned my head back against his shoulder I could see his face looking down at me he had this smile of pure joy.

He leaned his head down and asked “ What is your name?” I drought my head up realizing I hadn’t told him my name yet. “Aura” I replied bitting my lower lip.

“ Well Aura can we sit over there and get to know each other a bit. Please.” He said in a whisper next to my ear as he pointed to a fallen down tree. I could feel the warmth in his breath along my neck. It gave me goosebumps and made my stomach flutter.

I knew in that moment being in his arms I couldn’t speak so I just nodded like an i***t.

He unwrapped his arms and stepped to the side taking my hand in his softly. I could tell he was a fighter I could see and smell the dried blood on his knuckles from scraps and some had scars on them.

He lead me to the fallen tree in grass area where we were out of sight of the door. He let go of my hand and let me choose my spot. I sat on the grass with my legs under me and leaned on the tree behind me. He sat next to me so his thigh was touching mine. I didn’t pull away even though I should. I looked at the stars above me. Looking for the constellations I knew.

He was watching for a moment. “So what do you like?” He asked kinda nervously like he didn’t know how to start the conversation. I looked back at him from looking at stars and smiled sweetly. It made me happy that he was actually asking me something.

“I like history and stars.” I couldn’t tell if he really cared or if he was just trying to start the conversation.

After another moment he cleared his throat to get my attention again. “I think we should talk about this. I know you realize I am a wolf and you are a vampire and this isn’t something neither of us would have imagined. I want to know how you want to deal with it?” I was completely devastated. My heart dropped in my stomach. At that moment I knew he didn’t want to be with me he was just trying to figure out how to tell me. I was stuck in this relationship because I couldn’t reject him it wasn’t allowed and I had to tell him. I didn’t know if he would be mad at me or happy.

I took a long breath in and let it out sitting up to look at him in the eyes. “Look this is not the ideal situation for either of us but one thing about vampires you need to know is we are mated for life. We don’t get second chances mates if the first dies or rejects us. We also can’t reject them so if you reject me I will still be bonded to you.” I looked at my hands and played with fingers waiting for his reaction. I thought I was going to vomit from my nerves.

After a moment he took my hand and drought it to his lips and kissed it ever so gently. “ I am not going to reject you. If that’s what you are worried about. I find you fascinating and beautiful. I am absolutely delighted to be your mate.” I was shocked how could a wolf find a vampire beautiful. I was happy with his response how could I not be. I was after all mated to him for life.
