~flashback~
My 20th birthday started as normal I woke up showered, ate breakfast with my family and headed to class. *Hello* I heard in my head quietly at first and then again *Hello? Can you hear me? Is this thing on?*I hear her laugh. HER laugh. I feel my heart stutter and skip. *Hello?* I say back unsure if I did it right. *So you can hear me. I was getting a little nervous there.* *No I’m here! I’m here! Just surprised is all* I link back quickly I don’t want her to go away. Am I going crazy this is too early?? *Surprised? I’ve been trying to reach you for a couple days now I turned 21 a few days ago.. how old are you?* she asks and my heart skips again augh she sounds so sexy. What am I saying?? Sexy!? I’ve never thought of another woman as sexy? Is this right? I forgot to answer! *sorry are you still there?* I say hoping to hear that voice! *Im here sweets always here for you.* sweets? Oh my! Swoon! *Sorry I was in my head for a minute there. I’m 20 just turned 20 today is my birthday* I reply and I feel my breath pick up. This is not normal we don’t get these kind of senses until we turn 21. *Hmm that’s odd I’m surprised I was able to reach you at all then! Happy Birthday baby. Got to say I’m just a little disappointed but I kind of figured when I didn’t catch your scent a few days ago.* Baby!? Me? Oh man I need to get it together. *Maybe we can meet earlier since we are able to link earlier?* I ask knowing we shouldn’t. I just need to see her and figure these feelings out. I’ve never been attracted to women before. *No.* she links back with such finality it takes me a second to respond. *okay* I manage to squeak through. *Im sorry sweets I just don’t want to jeopardize us If we mate before we are suppose to we can lose each other, we aren’t ready for it yet the moon goddess is very clear about this. Besides I want to do this right. I want to get your scent first and I want our first encounter to be as special as it’s suppose to be. I can wait for you. And for now at least we can link each other.* she says and my heart picks up again thinking about her getting my scent and finding me and having her that close. I get wet from the thoughts going around in my mind. *you are right. We will do this right. Is it weird to say I’ll miss you this year?* I ask nervously.
*No it’s not weird we are mates! I will miss you too now that I’ve heard you it will be all I think about.* and you will be all I think about I think to myself. Knowing what I will be doing to myself once I’m alone! “Hey lex class is starting you coming in?” I heard Adam ask. He’s looking at me like I’ve lost my mind. *Hey I’ve got to go but I didn’t get your name?* I ask in a rush now. *Jayce and laters baby*
Later when I return home I was so excited to tell my parents I heard my mate! I’m the youngest in my family and the only single one. I burst through the front door throw my bag on the floor and run to the dining room where everyone is helping prep dinner. “I heard my mate!” I practically yell at them. Everyone turns and looks as though I lost my mind. “You couldn’t have you’re only 20 today you have another year before that’s even possible” my brother Ethan says. “I know! I said the same thing! She was very surprised she was able to reach me too. It was intense!!” I was so excited I didn’t even see my moms face snap to me and smile disappear. “SHE?” My mother and my brother said at the same time. Only difference is my mom was pissed and my brother looked surprised. “Uh yeah… it threw me for a second too but I can feel the connection and we can link, the moon goddess chose her for me.” I say quieter now. Reading the room. My dad is the only one with a small smile but he’s quiet in the corner chopping the carrots for the roast. “Nice” I hear him mutter to himself. I’m so glad he’s not angry too. “I don’t think so!” My head snaps back to my mom and a low growl escapes. I straighten myself out and respond, “This is not for you to decide mother. She was CHOSEN for me. I will give her the chance she deserves.” “You most definitely will not! How will you have children or have a good life a woman can’t provide for you can’t take care of you or satisfy you! You are going to throw your whole life away! For a woman!” She basically snarls at me. “She is MINE and I will be with her. And if you want to be in my life you will accept this” I feel myself get hot. I’m seeing red and shaking. I see my brother from the corner of my eye slowly walk to me and nudge me to guide me upstairs. I feel my fathers hand squeeze my shoulder as I pass him.
“Hey it’s okay she will come around” he says closing my bedroom door and I breakdown. “I was so excited.” I sob into his shirt. “I was so excited to share this with everyone.. she’s so…” I say with little hiccups in between words. “Hey none of that! It would be her loss. Give her time to see it’s not a big deal. I’m excited for you! And dad seemed fine with it.” He says trying to cheer me up. “Thank you Ethan. I think I’m going to skip dinner tonight and stay in here I don’t want to see her tonight at least.” “Sounds fair. I’ll leave a plate outside your door when it’s done.” He looks back and winks before leaving. My sweet brother I’m so glad I have him to help me through this. He lost his mate a year ago she was taken hostage and never returned during a war with the humans. They take us and use our blood for its healing powers. He knows she’s alive he can feel her still and spends everyday searching. As soon as he feels close she slips away we think she’s being given wolfsbane. Maybe Jayce would have some insight.. and I begin to think of her. Her voice so strong and yet so soft. I’m trying to picture her but I can’t. It doesn’t stop me from thinking how her touch would make me feel. I lay down and close my eyes and my hands run along my body. I feel my n*****s harden. I pull at one and my other hand travels softly and slowly to my navel. I start slow hearing her call to me. I make small circles around my c**t. I go faster and faster. I can hear myself panting. My back arches and I find my release with a small moan escaping me. My eyes open and I laugh to myself.
