But that didn't matter to me. I kept running until i was sure that the wolves wouldn't follow. I slowed down and finally stopped when i found a place to hide. I sat against a tree and listened to hear if anyone is coming. I didn't hear anything. Not even the sound of breathing. The moon is high enough in the sky that its bright light lit up everything around me. I could hear birds chirping somewhere far away but they seem to be so far away and muffled I can barely hear them. But what i can hear is the sound of my own heartbeat as loud as it can be. My legs were trembling badly. What i am going to do? Where am i going to stay for now? This place doesn't feel safe. 'Where can i go? What should i do??' I thought to myself.
Before i could do something i heard low growl behind me. I froze on the spot. I slowly looked over my shoulder. And my eyes met with the black wolf's ones. 'How did it find me?!' I thought. The wolf came closer and closer to me and began to sniff me. In holding my breath in. The black wolf sat down next to me when it was done siffing. I looked at it puzzled. The black wolf transformed back. Wait....hold on it the man that saved me and christall from the stalker. He looked at me with his greyish blue eyes. He smiled softly before sitting down. 'Come sit next to me i don't bite' He spoke with a smile on his face. So i did sat down next to him waiting for his some kind of explanation. We sat in silence before he spoke up. 'I hope i didn't freak you out to much. Do you remember me?' He asked. 'Yes i do. You are the stranger that saved me and my bestie friend.' i said bit irritated. He was taken back by my tone. 'No need to be rude.' He said. 'Why did you jump on me the other day in my garden?' I asked him. 'Sorry i wasn't thinking straight. I've been having a lot of trouble lately and well i just snapped at you. I'm sorry.' He said. After a couple seconds he spoke up. 'Do you know who i am?' 'What do you mean? Yes i know you because you saved me and my best friend the other day. I already told you that.' I told him bit confused. He got up and pulled me in his torso. I looked up at him in shock. 'Why did you do that?' i asked. He didn't anwser me but just stared at me. I tried to make some place between him and myself but he didn't let me. 'Let me go!' I screamed at him. He pulled me in closer and squeezed my waist. He looked me death in my eyes and said 'Im your mate Iris.' He jmust dropped a bomb at me. I looked at him in complate shock. Mate?? Him?! My mind was reeling trying to understand it. 'You...what?! Mate?!' I shouted. 'Iris you know you are supposed to say yes!' He yelled back at me. 'But why?! Why now?' I asked him. 'I just felt that i needed to tell you.' He said. I was shocked. My thoughts were still racing from all the things i heard from him.
My heart was hammering inside my chest. My breathing got heavier with each passing minute. I had thought i would meet my mate later in life. But this is bit to soon....but i cant deny him love.....im just not ready now... 'So what i your answer?' He asked. 'i...i don't know....i mean i want to be your mate but it's little bit to fast for me...i wanna focus on school and my job. And i can't leave my best friend alone here...she needs me.' I told him. He looks at me with the hurt expression and bit of sadness. 'Why can't you just leave it all behind and come with me?' He asked. 'I can't. She is my family too. Even tho she is a human but she was there for me for the most of my life.' I told him pushing him away. I pulled away and this time he didn't fight with me.
Kale POV
Damn she is beautiful. My mate is beautiful. I wished that i could take her to my tribe right away but....i understand her that she wants to stay near her friends and that she wants to have a nice future. I walked to her house. When i arrived i sawe her best friend sleeping on the couch. I touhed the door and the luck was on my side. The door was open. I walked in holding my beautiful mate in my arms before walking to her bedroom and laying her gently on her bed and tugging her in softly. Afther i kissed her head i wrote my number on a piece of paper and left it on her night stand. Then i walked out....i looked over my shoulder and looked at her one last time before closing the door and walking out of the house. I changed into my wolf form and ran back tribe. When i came back the tribe be started to ask me many questions. 'Did you find her?' 'Who?' 'Your mate.' 'Of course i found her!' 'Tell us.' I couldn't hold it back anymore and just spilled the beans. I explained everything to them and they nodded their heads in understanding. They gave me some food and some water to drink. Then i went to my hut and flopped on my bed before closing my eyes. I slept for 3 hours straight. I woke up and got out of my hut and started walking towards her home. 'I wonder how she's doing' I thought to myself. I reached her house after some time. I knocked at the back door but no one answerd. I sat down on the outside couch and waited till she wakes up.
