My Scared Mate
He was my mate.
But as much as I wanted to, I couldn't deny the pull I felt towards him. The dreams, the strange sensations I got when he was around... They all made sense now.
"I... I need time, Heather." I said, my voice barely a whisper. "This is all just too much."
Heather squeezed my hand. "Take all the time you need, Skye. We're here for you."
With that, she left, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Jayleen was my mate. I was a part of a world I barely knew, with a father who was a monster, and a destiny I didn't ask for. But, as overwhelming as it all was, I realized one thing - I wasn't alone anymore.
