Not Your Mate Anymore

We had finished our dinner in silence as we both tried to steal glances at one another. My heart was beating so fast, I was surprised he hadn't mentioned it, werewolf hearing and all.

I was down one bottle of champagne and he was playing it safe by drinking water. If anyone had to guess who the virgin was here... he let out a loud sigh and shook his head.

Max stood up and took his jacket off, placing it on his chair. He walks into his room and then I heard music. Why didn't I think of that!? 

He walks out and looks at me. His eyes piercing through my soul and my heart beats even faster. He walked up to me with his hand out. I looked at his hand and then back at him with confusion. Well I know that he was asking me to dance but I was hoping he'd take the lead with this and lead me to his bed. I didn't trust myself with my knees all weak.

"Kimberly, dance with me.." he says to me and I place my hand in his giant one as I stand up. A slow song playing the background..

We danced in silence for a minute until he stopped dancing and he pulled away from me.

"This isn't right.." he says and walks away from me and back in his room. I hear Joe- No one else comes close play through his speakers but not too loudly. I smile because this was the song my dad used to play for my mother. I always used to tell him how my dad would play this song and tell us how this was the song that played on the stereo in the diner when my mom and dad met. This was the song that they both loved and I ended up loving it.

He walks out and grabs my hand gently and leads me to his balcony railing, looking into my eyes. He clears his throat...

about you or you at least have an idea. The deal was to wait until you were 18 and I was going to try

you when I wake up and before sleep takes over at night. I want to think about you. I have myself imagining moments with you that we haven't experienced yet and they give me such hope. The moon didn't choose you for me but I choose you for myself. I

in your room so I can feel closer to you. You are very special to

very traditional man, being a Lycan and all. We are raised to expect certain things from women but you have me questioning my upbringing and passed down beliefs. I hate how time is forcing you to go down this road. I wanted to court you, the human way. Win your heart and mind. The plan was to take you out on a date but here you are, making me question my manhood and if I deserve a woman like you at all.." he says to me and I squeeze his hand.

because of someone's greed. You are still so young

can't wait for you to show off the mark I will place on your neck for the world see and I want all of that so bad. You don't know what your touch does to me Kimberly.. but I need you to know that you don't have to do this right now. I'll always wait for you baby." He says to me, kissing my forehead. I pull away from his embrace and look

out there that wants my virtue for his sick and twisted game put the pedal in my 'wait until you're really sure' virtue game but it also put a lot in perspective. I know I want to be with you, today or in 20years. I know that Percy was my mate but he's not anymore. I choose you Max, to be my love, my chosen mate. I didn't rush into going all the way because I didn't really think about it and I didn't feel

I crave your touch in the most intimate ways even though that's foreign to me. Your touch alone does so much to me and if tomorrow I was to be captured, I'll know that I spent my night in your arms. I know you'll search every inch of this earth until you find me or die trying and that alone has made it easy to give you my heart and my body. I want to be yours. I want to walk around with your mark on my neck. I want to have your scent on me for all the she wolves to sniff out. I want to share a connection with you that only the mating bond can provide. I want to carry your pups and have our family of wolves run in the woods. I want you to take me tonight and tomorrow night. I want you to walk
