Another pick of Drake on the top. Played by Alex Pettyfer. He's such a cutie.
(Clair's P.O.V)
We pulled into our driveway, and I sighed as I hopped out of the car. My parents hadn't spoken a word since they picked me up. I wonder what my parents thought of what happened with Drake and I. They hadn't said a word since I'd gotten in the car. I slammed my door and walked up the steps after my parents. My dad unlocked the door and my mom and I walked inside and he closed it. I started heading up the stairs until my parents stopped me.
"We don't want you to see Drake anymore"
I halted in my tracks. "What?"
"Your not seeing him anymore"
"What! First of all what makes you think you can even stop making me see him, second, what's your problem!! You had dinner with him and his parent's, and now that we're hanging out you don't want me to see him anymore?"
"With your problems, we don't need him and his family knowing of them, and it would be easier if you didn't speak to them. We have to keep a good image. We do not need to come across as a family with problems. It is important we remain a good image to our neighbors and our partners and clients"
I am so fucking mad, I can not believe this! My own parents are so ashamed of me they don't even want me seeing people! Why don't they just get rid of me!!
"Why do you have me then! Why!! And guess what, I don't care if you don't want me hanging out with Drake, that's my choice, and I'm doing what I want. And want to know another thing. Him and his family are so much more nice and caring and accepting then you ever have been!!
I turned around and ran upstairs, I ran down the hallway once I reached the top and slammed my door. The tears welling up in my eyes were uncontrollable, I looked around at my room. Everything looked blurry, and I could feel the pain I couldn't push back. My own parents didn't even want me seen with people. They we're ashamed of me and thought that I was so problematic and embarrassing they didn't want me seen with people.
I threw my stuff on the floor, and rubbed my eyes but the tears wouldn't stop. I sat down on the floor by the edge of the bed and put my head in my arms and started crying. They don't even love me.

(Drake's P.O.V)
I parked my car in my garage and got out. I couldn't believe myself, I had lied to my mate, and upset her. She didn't even want to speak with me earlier, and I was beyond mad with myself and so was my wolf. I had told my future beta and future third in command to help keep an eyes on things today so I could go look for Clair. I hated that I had lied to her, but I couldn't tell her about werewolves yet. I didn't think she was ready, and I didn't want her to get scared and leave. That thought of my mate leaving me and being scared of me was too much for me to even want to imagine.
I was glad when I finally found her in the town, and almost got to explain to her there was something I couldn't tell yet, but she was going to have to trust me. But then her damn parents came and I didn't have time. I growled lowly, I didn't really approve of her family, her parents kindness seemed forced and I didn't think they we're very close or nice to Clair. My wolf whined at the thought that our mate might not be happy at home. And I tried to keep composure, I didn't want that for Clair as well. I wish I could stay with her all the time. But I had to wait until she knew about werewolves and us being mates until she could come live with me. I wanted her to feel comfortable, and not pressured or scared about living with werewolves. But eventually I wanted my beautiful mate to come and stay with us.
The fact that Clair was human didn't bother me at all. Since the first day I saw her I knew she was perfect for me. When we locked eyes I had to remind myself she was human so I wouldn't go over and freak her out. But I had found my mate, and that was the best thing I've ever felt. She was beautiful, and kind, and unique, and loved so many things, and she was different and so special more than any other person I'd ever met. Her beautiful blue eyes and black and blue hair was made her looked even more unique. Her soft voice when she spoke, and when she talked about the different things she loved made my heart swell. She was so special and wonderful, and I didn't think she knew that. Even if she wasn't my mate I knew I would have still found her amazing.
