My eyes widened as all I did was stare at it, completely oblivious to see I was making her uncomfortable. It wasn't until I looked up and looked into her eyes that I knew that she was afraid of me knowing the truth. For her to be afraid of her own soulmate knowing the truth about herself, is something that no mate should ever have to go through but the look in my mates eyes told me that she was afraid, afraid that I would reject her for who she was. Seeing that in her eyes made my wolf cry out in agony and sorrow, I wanted to reach for her, to comfort her but I was afraid that if I did, if I even laid a single touched her skin she would break. So as my father made me vow all those years ago, I sure love my mate no matter who or what she may be and for that, vow I shall keep.

And with that in mind I slowly reach for her, even though she was so close to me she felt distant, I would too if I was afraid of my mate rejecting me for just being different. As it goes for the wolf culture, it is the same for many cultures, when a mate is created for another they are the other half, the other soul, the other heart that beats in their chest, they are the reason that they get up in the morning and the reason they sleep at night, they are the reason that we breathe, the reason that we fight to live another day.

For me, who has been waiting for his mate since his 16th birthday, I shall hold on to my mate, I shall keep her close to my skin ensuring that no one shall take her away from me, not even the vampire Prince himself. Now I should ask the prince what he meant when he said that she was his bleeder, and if I do not like his answer, I do believe that would probably rip out his throat for even laying a single finger on her skin. She must have felt my body tense with rage at the thought of someone else touching what is not theirs, that is when I slowly felt something touch my arm, something smooth, soft and soothing. Slowly gazing down to see that her fingertips have touched my arm, calming me in an instant the rage vanishing in the water that surrounded us. Gazing into her eyes I'm instantly relaxed, almost like I am being pulled into a pool, a warm yet dark pool. And within this pool I can see this darkness, a darkness that I wish to wash away from these beautiful eyes, these beautiful ocean eyes. It is almost like she is connected to the sea, through our Mate Bond I can feel her connection with the water. A connection through her scales, gills, and her long beautiful tail, seem to be at one with the water. It is almost magical, to know that a creature like her, creature of such beauty and mystery could even be right in front of me, in my presence. It is almost like a dream, a dream that I do not wish to wake up from. The same dream I've been having for a month, in that dream I wanted to know the truth, who was the woman I saw? Was she my mate? Or was she just a an illusion I created through the thought of never having a mate? But now that she is right in front of me, I do not deny the fact that the dream or the goddess herself must have been guiding me to her and now I know that my father's words are true. Everyone has a mate created for them and only for them and now that my mate was right in front of me. I do not intend to let her go.

How is the story so far? Is it any good, I hope so. Let me know, hit that star and have a great day.
