CHAPTER FOUR

 NATHANS POV

I felt moody all day because of the conversation I had with Kylie. Honestly, I don't think it was any use trying to win her over. She clearly didn't like me and won't even consider what I said . It hurts knowing I might end up having a one sided love.

I couldn't even say I'll try to get over her because I cant and that made it so much worse. I was frustrated beyond measures right now as I laid back in my bed. It was night already and I wanted to be alone. Away from everyone and away from Mitchell. My dad had called me earlier on to join for dinner but I didn't want that. Mitchell was going to be there too and I knew my parents would surely talk about how far we've gone since they considered us mates. It should be Kylie at the table with me but I didn't know how I was going to tell everyone that Mitchell wasn't my mate especially when Kylie isn't going to stand beside me.

I left my room in a hurry so that they wouldn't be able to find me when it was time for dinner and I ended up going outside to the garden which was lonely and peaceful but was still in thoughts. Kylie was still in my mind and I was considering if I should stay away from her or not because it wasn't going to yield anything staying close to her . She hated me. Couldn't even look at me and I think she likes Derek. I mean she was all over him and she felt comfortable around him and it kind of made me feel .... jealous I guess.

I suddenly heard footsteps approaching and immediately knew who it was. Her scent was different and heavenly and I could tell it even from afar. I got up immediately as she approached me slowly.

"Hey" She said, making sure to keep her distance.

"What you doing here Kylie?" I asked. Not like I didn't want to see her but was surprised to see her actually. For the first time ,she wasn't putting on a hood and instead ,she wore a gown that stopped above her knee and hugged her body tightly and I had lots of questions. Did she come to see me and did she dress this way because of me.

"And why are you in a gown?" I asked again and she suddenly looked down at what she was wearing then played with her fingers. She looked beautiful . Very beautiful actually especially when she was confident enough to open her scar.

 "I actually wanted to talk to you."

"And so you wore this dress for me?" I asked and she struggled to keep eye contact. I sat back down and kept my eyes totally fixed on her. I loved the state she was in and how nervous she was because it was telling me something different from what I had thought and that maybe she didn't hate me.

"Well , I... I.. you've seen my scars and there was no need hiding it from you" She replied and I got up again then moved closer to her. 

"So why are you here?" I asked trying to make it seem like I didn't want her.

"About what you said earlier on, about us being mates and also you thinking I hate you. I just wanted to let you know that I didn't hate you."

"but I also think it won't work out considering how different we are." She continued and I frowned.

"You have no right to decide that.* I stated wanting to draw her towards me but I didnt do it because I realised something. I won't get her to love me back if I keep on doing the chasing. Maybe I should let her do it instead .We were mates afterall and there was no way my touch or actions wouldn't have an effect on her. 

I just need to drive her feelings to the state where she wouldn't be able to control it, make her heart race for me until she'll be brave enough to confess her feelings and say she wants me. That was the only way for me to get her. I moved closer to her slowly and I could see her body tense a little then I raised my hand to brush off some tendrils of hair from her face. She relaxed at my touch and it was so refreshing and addicting. 

The feel of her skin and the way she reacts to my touch , everything about her felt addicting .More like I wouldn't be able to stop if I started. I leaned down a little to her ear before whispering.

"Go back to your room Kylie but make sure you remember this. You're mine and very soon you'll want me just as much as much as I want you."

I lingered on a little longer , moving further down to the nape of her neck and pressed my lips against it and then on her collar bone before leaving her and heading back inside to my room.

KYLIES POV

I stood fixed in my position, watching Nathan leave after he placed a kiss on my neck.

Maybe this was a bad idea afterall and I shouldn't have dressed like this because I wanted to see him. It made me look like I wanted him to like me or I wanted to please him. I don't know but I felt it was necessary we talked and I just wanted to be confident while doing that but I failed when he came close to me and placed a kiss on the nape of neck and my collar bone then left. He left after making my body heat up . I could still feel his lips on my skin and it was .... it was..... nothing like I've felt before.

We weren't fully mates though considering we haven't accepted each other. All we had between us were feelings and in other to become mates like in a relationship, he'd have to mark me in whatever way he chose but I thought and still think he'll reject me .I mean he could reject me considering the way I am but his word still echoed in my head .The one when he called me his.
