CHAPTER THREE

  NATHANS POV

I searched everywhere for Kylie but still couldn't find her. She wasn't in any of the class rooms or the cafeteria or the stairs and I felt worried.

It was until I checked the library that I saw her but She wasn't alone either and the sight before me made me feel a pang of hurt in my chest. She was with Derek and was flushed tight against him in a hug. I thought before now she never associated with anyone. 

I mean it Is good she does but seeing how comfortable she is around him to even let down her hoodie made me feel somehow. She never talked to me , never showed her face to me willingly but here she was hugging someone else even when we are both mates. 

Yes we are mates and I don't know if she's realised it or if she's just shying away from it or perhaps she hates me.

I stood in the same spot as I watched her lay her head on his shoulder but, as though sensing me , she looked up and quickly released from the hug. This was quite wierd and I tried looking everywhere else but them .

Derek turned and saw me before turning to her again.

"I'll see you later" He said before excusing the both of us. I wonder if they're just friends or something more . I shouldn't be thinking of this but I just cant help it with the way I feel and especially when his scent is all over her now. It should be mine on her . 

"Hey," I said when I got closer to her and she instinctively pulled over her hoodie to her face. Great, she feels free to show him her face but when it's me , she hides it.

"I wanted to apologise about earlier on. I didn't mean for things to go that way, I'm sorry." I continued looking at her . Her lips in particular since she covered her eyes and nose now. She seemed unsettled like she was afraid of me and I hated it. Why does she always do this. I'm really just hanging on to the little bit patience I have left that is stopping me from closing in on her and doing some lustful things. I mean I could do that if I wanted to be possessive but I cared about her opinion. She wasn't making it easier though with the way she makes me feel like she hates me but I needed to make her know we were mates . I couldn't be the only one feeling it too . I bet she is but won't accept it.

"It's fine. I'm okay." She replied and before I knew it, she started walking out. Honestly, I think I might just loose that patience today.

"Kylie" I called and went after her. She isn't going to escape me today.

  

KYLIE'S POV 

"Why the hell are you always running away from me." I heard him say from behind me and I came to a halt, my grip tightening on my notebook.

It was just the both of us in the hallway but I was already so tensed and my heartbeat faster now.

Soon I heard his footsteps approaching and although I didn't turn around, I knew he was just mere inches away from me.

'Now would be a good time to run.' I thought before pulling my hoodie further down my face.

"What do you mean? I'm just in a rush to go somewhere." I lied . Well not entirely since I'm still in a rush to leave his presence because of how nervous I feel.

"But you weren't in a rush while he was hugging you." He said and turned me around forcefully towards him before pinning me to the wall. His hands stayed beside me and caging me then his knee pressed tightly on my hips. He towered over me and had to lean down till we were mere inches apart.

I couldn't move as his body was pressed tightly against mine and the feel of his breath on my neck, sending chill to my body. Why was he doing this? 

"I need to leave." I said and tried pushing him away from me but he was stronger.

 "No you won't until you tell me why you always run away from me." 

 "and by the way remove this thing" He continued and use one hand to pull away my hoodie against my will.

"Now look at me Kylie" I couldn't and so I stared downwards . He pressed his body more on me as though he knew of the effect he was causing on me.

"Please let me go." I begged .

"Why are you even doing this?" I asked.

 "You know, I've really been trying hard to keep up with you having the hope that you'll come around and stop behaving like you hate me. Yes I do feel like you hate me and its painful because I feel the other way about you and you're my fu-ck-ing mate Kylie." 

I could sense a bit of pain in his words and I finally looked up at him. His eyes were blurry like he'd just let out something he's been holding for quite long and I was shocked. It couldn't be true. Well I do know that I have feelings for him but everyone knows Mitchell is suppose to be his mate.

"And before you even ask, Mitchell isn't my mate. I don't love her but I ..I ... you know what there isn't any need saying it when you probably hate me." 

He let go of me and before I could even comprehend anything, he was gone, leaving me confused like never before. He just said we were mates and thinks I hate him. I don't know what to do or think about it though. It could be true that were mates judging from the fact that I was drawn strongly to him and that was why I avoided him but I also knew that it won't work out. I wasn't his type and was way below his standards.
