My Mate

First night away

Lily

They are close I can hear their wings flapping and some are chasing on foot. I felt tears roll down my face as I heard wolves howling and demons screaming. One loud howl echoed above all the others it was his. I could feel his pain and my own as I continued to run if they take me back I may never see him again.

I ran for what felt like hours before I found a small abandoned cabin by a lake. "This will do" I said as I looked around the yard and cabin. The trees grew over it and vines went up the sides it barely looked like a cabin anymore. The whole area was overgrown with plants of all sizes and colors. The sight was beautiful sitting on the lake under a tree soaking my sore feet in the cold water. I must have ran miles I flew for a while too it should be harder for them to find me now. I need to learn how to use the powers I have so I can see him again maybe this mate thing will work. I barely got a night with him and I still feel that poison in me 'maybe I need some more sleep' I thought as I pulled myself up from the ground using the tree.

I made my way into the cabin glad that the sun hasn't gone down I took a look around. The wallpaper that was on the walls was now all over the floor and the walls themselves have seen better days but there was a bed, a small dresser, a few dishes and a fire place in the main room and a small bathroom with a toilet and the smallest shower I've ever seen. I looked around at what would be my home for a little while. "I guess I have cleaning to do tomorrow" I said to myself as I dusted off the bed and laid on it. I stared up at the ceiling thinking about him, about his wolf and about how he wanted to protect me. If he wouldn't have gotten me out when he did they all would have died and they would've taken me anyway. Why were they after me anyway they are the ones who kicked me out I wonder if he knows why they are after me. I wonder if he ever saw my note.

Tiredness crept up on me and before I knew it I had drifted off. I dreamt of him, of possibilities I dreamt of a life where I could be happy and not hunted. I dreamt of a life watching the birds fly in the sky and possibly flying with them. I even dreamt of being a wolf running with my mate and our pups. I dreamt of a life that has never been mine and may never be.

Alex POV

As I told her to leave I could feel my heart breaking and my wolf crying. We had no choice if she stays they will take her there are too many of them. I saw her jump off the balcony and some of them saw her and started to chase I mind linked the pack. I told everyone to try and hold the demons off so she could get away and I attacked several of them ripping off limbs and wings. I saw the look on her face when she said she was from hell and I know she doesn't want to go back. I pushed myself to keep going I have to protect her. After an hour or two the demons all left to go back to hell and I went to the library to come up with a plan. I may have only known her a day but she's my mate I will save her. I spent hours reading about demons, witches, really anything I could find that I thought might help.

I read about how demons are protectors of balance between worlds. They said she was too dangerous, she didn't seem evil just confused. I could feel what kind of person she is and she wouldn't hurt us on purpose. She made us all family I remembered and touched my neck. I think this is why I feel her still, she connected herself to me and my pack I could feel she was alive and safe that would have to do for now. I flipped through books of things I never knew existed. I never knew the extent of some of the witch, angel and demon powers. I didn't know that some spells are so strong they can kill a witch just for casting it. I know what she is I know the stories the old demon used to tell. The stories of a tribrid we thought he was crazy maybe a little hurt by being kicked out of hell. Not once did I believe she was coming and no one predicted her meaning so much to me being my mate.

After reading I headed upstairs to my room and it smelled like her. I looked at the still open closet and her side was empty again as if she was never here. I picked up the book off my desk and a paper fell off my desk. "What's that" I mumbled as I picked it up, it was a letter from Lily a letter from my mate.

Dear Alex,

I know we never had a chance to get to know each other but I know I will never forget you. I do not know when we will see each other again but we have forever. Goodbye Alex I'll see you again someday. Love, Lily

She wants to see me again one day I lightly smile. As I climb into bed I grab the pillow she used last night and hug it as I slowly fall asleep. As I fall asleep I cannot stop thinking about her beautiful eyes and when I would be able to see them again.
