She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 10

"No of course not. That kind of thing just doesn't exist. Now tell me the truth."

"I'm a werewolf." She smacked my arm again and begged me to tell her the truth. "You want to know the truth? Do you want to see it? Come on!" I yelled and grabbed her arm. I was furious. She didn't believe me. I drug her outside and let go of her hand as soon as I stepped foot in the grass. Sam lived on the outskirts of town, so I didn't have to worry about people watching. I started to take off my shirt then looked back up at Davina. Her eyes were glued to my chest. I have her a knowing smirk then shifted.

~Devina's POV~

I watched as he took his shirt off and couldn't help but stare. He had a few tattoos here and there and his chest was so defined. He looked up and caught me staring. I blushed in embarrassment and hoped he would leave his pants on. Then he did something that I've never seen before. He crouched over and started to uncontrollably shake. Then his bones started to crack and reform. I was horrified. He hissed and pain and I ran over to him.

"Zane! Zane stop!" I yelled with tears sliding down my cheeks. "Stop!" Then before my eyes, he turned into a huge wolf. I took a few steps back and shook my head. "Wha-?" The thing in front of me whined and carefully stepped forward. I turned to Sam who must have followed us out. "What is this? What's going on?" I demanded and hesitantly took another step back away from the wolf.

"He wants me to tell you that he won't hurt you. That it's still Zane." I furrowed my brows and looked back at the brown wolf. It had the same color fur as Zane's hair and the same eyes but I still couldn't believe it.

"How do you know that? He didn't say anything. It didn't say anything." I heard the wolf growl and jumped back.

"Alpha you're scaring her," Sam warned the wolf and it stepped forwards again, letting a growl escape its chest. "Give it time." It was almost as if they were having a conversation through their minds. "Change back," Sam ordered but the wolf just lurched forward and tackled me to the ground. When I was standing, the wolf was taller than me, so it didn't take much force to knock me down. The whole movement was gentle but I could tell the wolf was mad. "Change back now!" Sam yelled over my screams. "You will lose her if you don't control yourself!" Sam screamed and tried to pull Zane off of me. Wait, what? Zane isn't the wolf. I told myself over and over again. As soon as the wolf was off of me, I jumped up and ran inside. Looking for a place to hide, I found an empty room and locked myself inside.

"You lost control Alpha, she's terrified." I heard two sets of footsteps outside of the door then someone knocking.

"Sam is the chief of police here in town so you'll be safe, he said you can stay with him for as long as you need to. All of your stuff will be here tomorrow morning. Including Mr. Freddles." He took a few steps back and closed his bright green orbs. "I'm going to go." He curtly nodded and turned around to leave. "You should get some rest, you still need to recover." I wiped the tears from my eyes and watched as he strode out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

A few hours later I heard a soft knock at the door, then Sam's comforting presence filled the room.

"I know things are confusing right now and you're torn about what to think and how to act but I'll tell you anything and everything you want to know." He kneeled down on the floor with me and held my hand. He reminded me a lot of my father, always so kind and gentle. Wanting for everyone to feel safe and welcome.

"Chief of police? I thought you were a doctor." I frowned and Sam chuckled. He guided me up with his hands and walked me out of the room and back downstairs to the living room.
