Nathans p.o.v
I watched her quietly from around the corner she was breath taking, and she smelled amazing.
"Today could be the day!" My inner wolf barked. "Please talk to mate!"
"No" I growled in response. Me and my wolf have had this argument every day for 8 years, a long 8 years.
"She won't rejected us he argued"
I ignored him and kept staring. She was so unaware of how beautiful she was. The truth was I loved her and I knew she was my mate, but she was a human and I'm a shifter.
She will run for sure. Especially when she finds out I've been stalking her and protecting her for 8 years.
Its a long complicated story... But here is the jest of it.
I was only 13 when I shifted for the first time. Coming from strong Alpha blood it wasn't that shocking.
One day I was running around exploring our territory. My Father James Stolic was the infamous Alpha of the Blue shadow pack. He was know for his wisdom and for killing anyone who messed with him or his pack.
I was in wolf form exploring. My Dad had told me not to go near the borders because of rouges that had been spotted only yesterday but, I knew what I was doing. Besides I was following this wonderful smell.
I didn't know what it was but I had to find it. I had just reached the border when I noticed a little house and a large meadow of pink flowers. And that is when I knew where the smell was coming from. She was running through the field happily. She was beautiful. Probably 2 or 3 years younger than me. Long blond curls flowing down her back.
"Mate" my wolf jumper happily .
I was in shock. How could I have found her. I'm only 13, but I want to hold her. "No" I shrieked. I can't even talk to her. If I shift back I have no clothes.
Then suddenly I smelled something. Another shifter. It wasn't her.. Maybe her family. But then I smelled it... Danger! I spotted him. A rogue and he was watching mate. With a mischievous smile. Then he disappeared behind a tree and shifted. Coming back and running full force towards mate with a growl. She shrieked when she spotted him and froze with fear.
I didn't think at all. "Kill him" was all my wolf said as I charged him. I had never really been in a fight before but I had been training for 6 months now since I had shifted. And no way in hell would he harm mate.
Just before he reached her I tackled him. Fighting him off . she began running as fast as she could. But then he tore away. Chasing her as I stumbled to pull my self back together.
He knocked her to the ground and she was crying hard. Screaming for help. I Pushed him off of her and overtook him. No One hurts mate!
With a single swipe I broke his neck separating it from his head.
She was in tears still on the ground. It occurred to me I was just as scary to her as he was. She wasn't a shifter... She was only human. I shifted back, quickly grabbing the blanket she had been sitting on a wrapping it around my waist.
She screamed as I approached her. I said all I could think.
" it's just a dream" I said my voice shaking. "But I saw it" she cried " you killed him.. But you saved me."
"No you hit your head and this is all a dream" I said.
She lifted her hand to the blood on her head. Then with out warning passed out. I picked her up and carried her to the door of the little house banging furiously on the door. Before setting her down and disappearing, dragging the wolf body into the forest.
I never told my Dad she was my mate. But I told him the rest. He was proud I could see it in his eyes as he scolded me. I didn't argue, just kept my head down. Finally after he was done yelling I worked up the nerve to ask about the girl.
My dad knew about everything that happened near the territory and she was new. He looked concerned for a moment but then answered.
"Nathan she is just a human"
I knew that but didn't dare interupt, out of fear he wouldn't tell me about her.
" the woman that owns the houses name is Mary Elms she has lived there her whole life and he mother before her. They are peaceful, but have no idea of our existence. They have never been bothered by roges or other pacts because they are on our land. "
he sighed and rubbed his face. " The girl is Gracie Hamalton"
my wolf jusmped at her name... Beautiful just like her. My dad looked worried but continued
" Her parents were killed in an accident about 6 months ago. She came to live with her aunt. She is the only family she has left."
She has me I thought but didn't say aloud. My dad must have heard my thoughts tho because he answered me. "Nathan you are the next Alpha of this pack. You can't mate with a human. You need a strong Luna, plus there is a fifty percent chance that your child could be human. The pack would be destroyed with no Alpha to carry on."
I didn't speak only nodded. " she isn't your mate son, don't you want to find your true mate... Besides your 13 you don't need to think about this for a while."
And with that he left the room.
Thus begining my long 8 years. I couldn't leave her my heart and wolf cried mate. But I couldn't be with her. One, my family wouldn't alow it, two she would freak if memories of her "Dream" came back.
So instead I watched over her. And boy did trouble find her. I had saved her from so much, including boys that wanted one thing! And that thing is mine!
Only one person knows my best friend and Beta Jonathan he thinks I'm crazy. But he supports me, sort of.
But a lot has changed in 8 years I'm now at the age of 21 the Alpha of blue shadow. My Dad made me alpha on my 20 the birthday. He wants me to have a chance and even tho he still "guides me" I'm in control.
But she has a happy normanl life and I'm terrified she won't want me. She wants a normal life. And I can't promise that.
So here I am behind this brick wall watching the love of my life as she walks down the street. She is beautiful and amazing. She is mine!
I just have to figure it all out.
Come on fate, deal me a good hand.
