My Wolf-Vampire Mate

with her guts. She was not one to back down from a fight and on hearing enough of what I had to say, she immediately began to walk away. As much as I admired her courage, I felt insulted by her attitude because no one else dared walk out on me for any reason. I immediately spotted the basket that she held, which was full of sweets and snacks and I felt I should have some of them. The sweet scent of cinnamon, strawberry and chocolate called out to me and I couldn't resist. I also thought it was going to help us settle our differences. I immediately reached out and held her back by the basket she held as I tried to grab it from her but she held on to it very firmly. "Hey, what do you think you are doing?" She yelled. "What does it look like, girl? I'm trying to have some of these. You should share." I retorted. I knew I could drag the basket out of her hands if I used my wolf strength but I wouldn't waste it on her. "Are you crazy? All you've been is rude to me and you still want to take my stuff forcefully? I won't share! You can ask one of your kind to fix some for you and let me be!" With that, she turned and continued walking toward her cabin and I could sense that I'd made her sad. I felt that, maybe, she may have hoped she'd be accepted as one of us but I didn't see that happeni

come together. I ran into the bathroom and had my bath as quickly as I could. I picked out decent wear from my wardrobe and put it on as quickly as I could. It was a special day, so I had to look the part. Yet all that was in my head was Max's voice, asking me a simple question that he had always asked me. " If Claire isn't your mate, who then would it be?" I packed all of my things and ran straight to the blue building which was the meeting hall of the wolves. There, I saw my friends, Brett and Markus already waiting for me. As I got to them, Markus smiled and gave me a quick hug. "Hey man," he said as he let go of me. "Today's your big day, pal. I saw Claire just a while ago on my way to this place. She was all smiles. I've never seen her that happy." "For a good reason, isn't it?" I asked. "I mean, today's her big day too. It may look too sudden to conclude but we're both sure that we're destined for each other. We got the same taste and train of thought and to top that, our parents have been best friends for a long time. Having Claire by my side is a pure perfection man. I don't need to remind you about how flawless her body is." "Well, you don't," they both chorused as we broke into laughter. There was no denying that Claire had monster curves and in the right places too. "Hey, what is she doing here?" Brett said as he looked behind us. Markus and I turned to find Racheal walking to the blue building just like the rest of us. She wasn't supposed to be there as it wasn't her place. She was well aware of the rules so I wondered what happened. Yet, I couldn't ignore the way her body moved, it felt as though I already knew the shape of every part of it. No one was aware that I'd been spying on Racheal. I used to go to her place at night when she was asleep to take a good look at her through her window. I'd hear her heartbeat and feel at peace. I always told myself that I was just trying to make sure that she was secure. Yet I couldn't explain how most of the time when I turned into a wolf and ran through the darkness of the night, I always ended up in her cabin with a strong desire to see if she was fine. I told myself that it was nothing, even though my eyes remained glued to Racheal as

as done, they all applauded, not minding if I was a human or a wolf, like the older people and I felt really happy. I thanked my teachers and left the class. On climbing down the stairs and getting to the hall, I stumbled into Tren who was no longer with his friends. Our eyes were glued to each other and none of us wanted to take our eyes off. His eyes are bright and happy, for a moment I think I felt like
