My brain froze.

You're my mate.

Mate.

MATE.

M-A-T-E.

M.A.T.E

My heart beat quickly picked up as it registered for the hundredth time.

I was Blake's mate. 

No.

My thoughts flickered to all those werewolf books I had read when I was a child. I had been completely infatuated with those stories and at that time- mates were what I dreamt of. But reality had slapped me incredibly hard. So hard that I lost everything. Including my dreams.

I let out a bitter and humorless laugh as I realised something and Blake flinched. Good. What did he even want with a girl like me? I wasn't worth a speck of dust. I understand why he would be so sad to have me as a mate.

"Let me go." My voice was so cold that it sliced the air. Blake cringed even further; a flash of pain in his eyes as he slowly released me and I stepped away as soon as his arms went slack. 

"It's now or never. You can run," I twisted myself- giving him my back to him so as to hide the imminent tears of pain in my eyes. The room went silent apart from our breathing.

"What?"  His voice had gone deadly quiet and my heart constricted painfully.

"You heard me. I completely understand why you told me this. I'll pack as soon as possible and I'll be out of your life," I calmly said although my insides were churning inside and out. I wanted to puke.

He didn't say anything and I didn't dare turn around.

"I'm sorry. I really am, Blake. I know all werewolves want a beautiful, perfect and flawless girl but instead you got me. I'm sorry I destroyed all your hopes. I'll make it up to you- I'll stay away, you won't ever have to see me again-" My traitorous voice suddenly cracked but I continued as if it had never happened.

"-I'm grateful for all the help and I swear I'll repay you. I don't know how but I'll do it and I guess the only thing I can do right now to help you is to get away from you. I understand- I really do. I'm- I'm such a failure-" I slapped my hand over my mouth to prevent a sob from exploding.

I wouldn't cry-

A shriek fell past my lips as my shoulder was ripped violently backwards and arms engulfed me tightly. My body shuddered with the restrained sobs. Waves of electric shocks swept over me time and time until I couldn't hold back anymore. My arms wrapped around him tightly. A last hug couldn't hurt.

As if he had read my thoughts, his hold tightened and he growled softly.

"Can you stop saying rubbish?" He sighed into my hair.

Rubbish? I was saying rubbish?

"What?" I asked dumbly.

"You're not a failure, baby doll, you're anything but. You're the best thing that happened in my life. You're beautiful, you're everything I would ask for a mate," he whispered. My heart swelled and sped up.

"I'm not. That's why you told me about the mate thing- because I was not good enough," I closed my eyes tightly to calm the pain down.

"How the hell did you come across such an absurd thought?" He frowned against my cheek, "I told you about mates because its the most important thing in a werewolf's life and if you ran away we would eventually die in sorrow,"

"-What?" I pulled away from him and stared at him in horror.

"Yeah so don't even think about going away," He said to me, his voice firm and serious.
I slowly nodded.

Blake would die? I would die? What about Mia?

A pain so sharp pierced through my chest and I couldn't breathe. I would stay by him. He won't die.

"You won't die," My voice wobbled and I gripped his shoulder tighter.

"No," he smiled and I let out a small sigh of relief.

A huge yawn resounded in the room and both of our heads snapped towards it. Sam was stretching, his shirt riding up to display a hard set of abs. Why did everyone have abs again?

My lips pulled into a small smile as he ruffled his hair and blinked thrice. That's so cute- he looks like a confused toddler who just woke up.

"What are you looking at?" Blake hissed. Rolling my eyes, I huffed, "I'm looking at Sam."

Sam's eyes slowly focused on us. He focused on Blake first before moving to me- as soon as his eyes fell on me he let out a squeal. Yes. A squeal!

"HAYLEY!" He leapt towards me. I think my eardrums just burst.

With an oof he was pushed back. Blake growled; his face red with fury as he stared at a broken Sam. My jaw dropped and I slapped Blake on the chest,

"What's your problem? He's just a kid!" I gasped, rushing towards Sam and helping him stand up.

"I'm 17," he grumbled under his breath making me roll my eyes.

"I'm seventeen too!" I grinned and in the corner of my eyes I could see Blake stiffen.

"Okay that's enough, we're going home," he glared and I frowned.

"Oh stop being such a party-pooper! It's Sunday we should be having fun," I grinned at Sam and he nodded.

Sam made a know-it-all grin, "I'm not going to ask how that guy came in and where the dog went if we make pancakes together."

Grabbing my hand, Sam dragged me to the kitchen. He suddenly stopped and poked his head out of the kitchen to shout, "Hey you naked guy, could you not use the sheets as clothes? I have clothes upstairs."

I guffawed and Blake growled, "That was epic Sam!"

"I am epic!" He grinned and we both started rummaging through the cupboards for ingredients. By the time we had all the things we needed on the table, an egg had broken, the flour had spilled and the yogurt was on Sam's head.

Laughing, I mixed the batter and poured it into the sizzling pan.

"What do you ant on your pancake?" Sam asked while showing me the choices; strawberry jam, nutella and honey.

"Nutella!" I cried out and we high-fived. At that precise moment Blake stepped into the kitchen. My eyes widened and my heart sky-rocketed. The clothes he was wearing was so damn hot.

Blake smiled awkwardly, "Are the jeans too tight- oh my god, what the hell happened to you guys!"

Sam and I exchanged sheepish grins. I was covered in flour and he had an egg dribbling on his chin- definitely not a pretty sight.

"We're making pancakes; you want some?" Sam smiled.

"I think you should go clean up, I'll finish cooking," Blake sighed and my eyes widened.

"You cook?"

"Of course I do," he scoffed and I rose an eyebrow.

"Sure, we'll see in fifteen minutes when I'll be back," I rolled my eyes and Sam dragged me upstairs.

"So who's showering first?" I cocked my head curiously.

"You can shower in my room, I'll take Brian's,"

"Okay!" I grinned and headed for the bathroom. After taking a hot shower and scrubbing the flour off me, I was ready to step out. Reaching my hand out, I felt for my clothes but it had disappeared. The colour in my face drained when I realised that I had put my clothes in the washing machine.

Oh no, no, no, no! How could I be so stupid!

But then a thought hit me- Stacy!

I tightened the towel around my waist and crept out to the hallway. I tiptoed to the end of the hallway where Stacy's room was. Just a bit further..

"Hayley?"

Horror filled me and I slowly turned around.

"Brian," I squeaked. His chocolate eyes had gone wide and his mouth agape.

"W-what are y-you..." He blinked.

"Uh- Sam- food fight- dirty clothes- Stacy," I managed to say. He blinked again.

"What?"

"Am just going to fetch clothes at Stacy's," I gulped, tightening my hold on the towel.

He slowly nodded, "Okay wait I knock on the door for you."

I sent him a confused look.

"You don't want the towel to fall when you're going to use your hands to knock now, do you?" He lifted a brow and I vigorously shook my head. He stepped towards me and reached his hand out behind me to knock. I pressed my back against the door as he leaned further.

To my intense horror, footsteps were heard as someone climbed up the stairs and onto the landing. Whoever was reaching the landing was going to see us! Before I could step away from Brian, Blake's head had popped out, "Hayley are you done showering-"

Silence.

Brian froze. Blake froze. I froze.
