AELIA REVA
"Ty....Lia....So you guys on nickname bases or something." Ulric lets out in a tone full of jealousy and envy.
"Well, I have work to do so... bye," I say not knowing what else to say.
How do you talk to your mate?
I try to walk away from him but before I get to do that he puts his very muscular arms on the wall trapping me between him and the wall once again.
He must quite like this pos- oh
"Running away so soon mate." He whispers slowly, his mischievous eyes looking directly into mine with his lips stretching into a smirk.
"I have to start working. It's my first day and I don't want to set a bad first impression. That's all." I say looking away from his striking eyes to his chest which is to my eye level.
He's that tall.
He chuckles resting his head on my shoulder before giving the side of my neck a lingering kiss that makes me take in a sharp breath. Several terrible thoughts come to my mind at once.
He leans back and stares at me for a few seconds smiling all secretively to himself.
"What?" I ask because his stare was starting to make me blush.
"Nothing, just admiring my mate. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to come along," He continues now running his hand over my waist.
"It still feels like you are gonna disappear any second now." He tightens his hands around my waist pulling me close towards his body.
"Well, I feel the same way." I let out my thoughts.
I never thought that I'll ever meet my mate, my other half. It still feels like if he finds out that I'm not a real werewolf, like many other people say, then he'll reject me.
That thought alone makes me sick to my stomach.
"My precious love, let's go." He said pulling me out of my train of thoughts by moving back and taking my hand in his massive hands.
I look at him confused.
"Wait, where are you taking me? I have work." I inquire him pulling at my hands to make him stop walking.
He turns around and looks down at me with a perplexed look.
"My love, we just found each other. I would really like to spend time with you to get to know all about you." He says maintaining eye contact that leaves me melting on the floor.
I want to spend time with him too but I still need time to process what is happening.
I need time to confirm, that when he rejects me for who I am, I don't lose myself and can continue without him.
Something inside my heart hurts at those words.
"Umm...we can do that later. So if you'll excuse me I have a job to do!" I exclaim making his eyes widen at my behavior.
I walk away from him and stride towards the stairs, down to the first floor where Maria is sitting with Tyler looking at me running while I hear Ulric shout something.
"Aelia! Wait!" He shouts while laughing to himself.
I ignore him and walk towards Maria and Tyler.
"What would you like for me to do?" I ask Maria passing a smile to Tyler who is not even looking at me currently.
What happened to him.
"Umm....How about you get started by putting these books on their respective shelves on the second floor."
I nod at her smiling before taking the big box of books, heavy might I add, and turn around to wall away but I crash into someone who I'm trying to run away from since five minutes ago.
"Nice to see you again Aelia." He says cheekily looking down at me with an attractive smirk making me blush which I hope he doesn't notice.
But my hopes are crushed when he winks at me knowingly and takes the box from my hands and starts to walk away.
"Hey!" I try to stop him.
"Come on love, this needs to be done quickly so we can have time together!" He says over his broad shoulders with his all-time smirk and continues to wall away like he owns this place.
Well, He kinda does Lia.
