My Mate That I Don't Want

Chapter one: Mate!

JEREMY’S P.O.V

As I walked through the few trees that this university had I smelled an intoxicating smell. I had no description of the smell, just that it was amazing. 

Then I heard my wolf say one word, the one word that would change my life forever; 

"Mate." 

Oh s**t. 

That was all that went through my mind as my wolf said that. 

Oh s**t. 

I needed to get out of there. So I did the one thing I could think of and ran. 

I ran for hours until I reached the nearest forest. When I was well past the treeline I shifted into my huge black wolf. I heard my wolf scream in protest as I ran away from our mate. I shut him out. 

I ran faster until I reached my destination, the small lake was beautiful, with the moon and stars reflecting on the water's surface. I sat down, looking out on the lake and thinking about what the hell I was gonna do. 

I mean it was great that I had finally found my mate and all, but was I ready for the responsibilities that came with it. Wasn’t already enough that father had just stepped down as alpha meaning I had to step up. All of this was exhausting, but I knew it was great news for the pack to have found their Luna so quickly. 

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice the silver wolf emerging from the trees. However, I did notice it when it sat down next to me looking straight at me. 

"What are you doing here sis?" I mind linked her. 

She looked at me knowingly before she answered through our link; 

"I understand you have a lot to think about tonight..." 

She trailed off, obviously waiting for me to finish the sentence. Though I knew she already knew. There was no way that after that emotional roller coaster I just went on, she didn't.

LIBERTY’S P.O.V

I woke up to my alarm ringing. 

Jasmine was gone, just like last night. Maybe she was one of those people who took late night and early morning runs I thought to myself. 

I didn’t have time to wonder about it anymore since I had to get ready for class. 

I quickly went through my morning routine before I rushed out of the room. I rushed down the hallway filled with students and just as I was about to enter the classroom I felt someone’s eyes on me. 

But I didn’t have time to think about it, and hurried into the classroom. 

Thankfully the teacher hadn’t arrived yet. I saw Fran waving at me from the first row and I went to sit beside her. As I leaned down to grab my books from my bag I felt someone sitting down beside me. 

When I finally managed to get all of my books out of my bag and I looked up. I stared straight up into the most captivating brown and yellow eyes I have ever seen.
