Hot tears streamed down my face and I didnt wait before I ran out of the restaurant forgetting all about his gift.
Hardly thinking, I kept running away until I was in the middle of the forest. I felt every bubble burst and my clouds turning into a thunderstorm. I felt as if my whole world was flipped upside down in the worst possible way.
I let out a scream, releasing my body from the shock it's in and crying until I had no more tears. In the distance, I caught sight of a house.
A big wooden house, surrounded by tears, blurred by my tearful vision.
I picked myself up and walked deeper into the forest, desperate to get lost or to get away from this agonizing reality but it followed me wherever I went.
Blade POV
I live alone in a wooden house on the edge of the forest.
I was provided with entertainment by head cheerleader, Jessica Bolt, who was slowly taking off her thin, poor—excuse—for—a shirt and unzipping her jeans when I felt my breathing stop. A sudden uneasy feeling draped over me, a sort of depressed feeling.
It only grew stronger the more I tried to ignore it.
Mate. Said my wolf. Our mate is nearby.
"uhh, are you okay?" Jessica paused and looked at me with confused eyes.
"Get out," I spoke through gritted teeth to a now half naked Jessica.
"What?" she asked in her whiny voice.
"Get. Out," I repeated, taking a seat on my bed.
"But we aren't even—"
"Get out!" I yelled, using my alpha tone," now!"
She scrambled to her feet and hurried to pick up her things before leaving.
I stood to my feet and reached for the window. After practically tearing the hinges off, I jumped out the window and shifted into my black wolf.
I ran into the forest letting my paws do the thinking.
I snuck from behind a large boulder and watched as a girl, probably my age, sat near the cliff's edge and traced circles on the pavement with her finger.
I wondered why she was here, and why was she so sad. I had the urge to hold her in my arms and rock her until she's happy again.
I wanted to see her face.
The darkness masked both sides of her, making it impossible to catch a glimpse. My wolf was angered. Furious actually. He wanted the head of whoever caused her this pain. He wanted to rip apart their skin with his teeth and throw them in the deepest pits of hell where they belong.
I tried to force my paws to move, but my wolf wouldn't let me. He stayed put to the ground, watching with interest as the girl wiped away her tears.
I felt my human side giving in to my wolf and forced myself to snap out of it. No, I thought, this isn't possible! I don't have a mate!
A flashback of my birthday emerged in my head.
On my eighteenth birthday, I looked into the eyes of every girl but could not find my mate. I made the transition on my own without help, and I almost died.
A few months later, my mate shows up?
I should be happy, ecstatic actually.
But I wasn't. Instead, I was angered.
I want nothing to do with this girl, not after everything reality has put me through. I deserve to be alone.
But whether it was my wolf or myself ,I at least wanted to know who this girl was. Emerald's POV
I woke up Saturday morning with dried tears and bags beneath my eyes. Everything felt sore in my body.
I sigh and wash my face, unable to stand this sight of me any longer. I hopped into the shower, making sure to wash all of the dirt off my body. I caught sight of my destroyed golden dress that was thrown into the wastebasket.
After drying up, I headed back to my room and checked my phone.

Four missed calls from John.
Five missed texts from Hanna.
Three missed texts from Jack.
