I had been following her sent what had felt like forever and when I finally found her she looked like an fallen angel starring up at her lost home. Yet again I was star struck. I was busy admiring her when I suddenly heard her say
"I heard you can rej....."
But before she could finish I barged out from behind the trees shouting "Don't you even think about finishing that sentence"
I was outraged how could she even think about saying that word. Then it hit me did, she really hate me that much. I asked her two question and both times she ignored me, when she did turn to look at me she was just as beautiful but she also looked just as scared. From that one look I already knew what she was going to do. She was going to run.
So I pounced on her however she was stronger than I had thought, soon we were in the water. When we came up for air she had wrapped herself around me clinging for dear life and I have to admit, I loved it. I could feel the tingles running through out my body. I had the urge to mark her right there and then, but I didn't. I knew that if I tried I would just scare her away even more. So I just held on to her not ever wanting to let go.
I took her to the shore but as soon as I did she tried to escape, I just held tighter and tighter until she gave up. We sat down and she soon fell asleep in my arms. As she slept her nose would crinkle up while she snuggled in closer to me for warmth. While awake she could try to resist the pull we had to each other, however while sleep there was no denying the fact that not even she could resist the mate bond pulling us closer.
Lucas had finally decided to speak up, ever since she ran away from us he had been kind of quiet I guess he was feeling just as hurt as I was, "She's amazing!"
"Yeah she is isn't she"
"Our mate isn't just beautiful she powerful to"
All I could say was "Yeah she is"
But in the back of my mind I wondered why she looked so scared and why she ran? I had all these questions but they were for anther time and place. For now I just had to enjoy the moment.
While I stared at her sleeping I began to feel tired, soon I found myself resting my head on her head as my eyes closed letting the world disappear around me as I fell into the best sleep I had had in months.

I woke up on the forest floor, at first I was confused but then everything came rushing back to me the boy, the "r" word his reaction, the water the shore, him. I tried to get up, however I found a big muscular hand wrapped around my waist. I turned around to face him his hair flopped over his face and he was sound asleep.
"He looks cute"
"I know he does em, and the way he makes me feel"
"Liz you know we cant go through this again no matter how much we may feel a pull towards him its just the mate bond"
"Its just the mate bond" I told myself. But inside it felt like so much more. I moved a piece of hair from his face and just stared at him for a bit. But then he began to stir which was my cue to leave, so yet again I started my escape (what a shocker). First I turned back around and tried to take the heavy arm off from my waist. It was way more difficult than it looked trust me, when I had finally taken his arm off and was getting up I could hear him stirring in his sleep even more. I turned around to look at him one last time and I ran.
As I ran I felt a single tear roll down my face but I refused to acknowledge it cause I already knew that if I did fall for him it would just end up with more of these salty water works. When I got home I was tackled down by my parents with them asking me all the questions parents do when they get worried. Although as I sat there on the floor of the house I had drowned my parents out and all I could think about was him and if I had done the right thing. Before I left him I had made sure that he was safe by putting a blanket of leaves over him and leaving him a note, saying how this wont work out and how he deserves someone better, someone not broken.
