Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 1

"Happy Birthday Sky!" He yells out as he pulls me into his embrace, hugging me tightly. I wrap my arms around his neck, smiling. He pulls back before dramatically bowing down and holds out a red velvet cupcake with oreo icing. Yum.

"Thank you Dylan." I say as I give him another hug before taking a small bite of the delicious cupcake.

"And here is your present-"

"Dylan, I told you I didn't want a present." I whined, pouting up at him while crossing my arms over my chest, still holding the cupcake.

"Yes you did, but when have I ever listened?" He makes a good point. No matter how many times I've told him to not buy me presents, he always did. I put my hands up in surrender, playfully glarring at him. He smiles before reaching into his bag and pulling out a small black box. He opens the box, causing me to gasp. Inside was a small bracelet with half a heart on it reading, 'Best...'

"Dylan it's beautiful. Thank you!" I say as I put it on my wrist before hugging him tightly again. I pull back and ask for the other half. He winks before pulling out his car keys and showing it to me. I smile as I see the other half of his is in a keychain form, this one reading, 'Friends'

He then proceeded to put both halves together, showing the whole thing, 'Best Friends'

"I love it. Thank you so much Dylan."

It had honestly been one of the best gifts I have ever received. Dylan and I always had this thing to out do each other in giving presents. It's seems like he's winning at the moment. I need to up my game.

"If you ever miss me you can just look at that, and remember that I'll be here waiting for you, when you return." He says sincerely as he puts his keys away.

"I could never forget you Dylan. You'd unfortunately make sure that I never forget." I say teasingly as we hear the bell ring. We look at each other before walking up the stairs and entering the school. We walk to our lockers, grabbing our books before heading to our separate classes. Walking by myself is slightly difficult. I'm not a 'weakling' but I just choose not to fight against someone, but by saying that people shove me around all the time. Only when Dylan's not around.

I finally reached homeroom and saw that I was the first person here. I roll my eyes, knowing that it's not shocking. I take my seat in the front and wait for the bell to ring. I look to my left and stare out the window, seeing a fancy car pull up. A guy steps out and I instantly recognize who it is. Soon to be, Alpha Kyle Black. Even I can't deny that he's a good-looking guy but unfortunately he knows that too. He'll sleep with anything that walks and has breasts. And that's a fact, not an opinion. I turned away from him as I heard the bell ring.

People started to walk into the class, followed by the teacher. I scratched the back of my neck as I felt my wolf begin to jump around excited. It's odd though, I can feel her inside of me but she hasn't said a word yet, I don't even know her name. I just shrugged it off, not wanting to deal with this crazy wolf at the moment. The teacher did rall call before the bell for first period rung. I got my stuff before walking out the room and heading to my first class. It took a bit longer since I was tripped twice by a group of jocks. I just ignored those morons before walking into the class.

My wolf on the other hand was howling for joy, calling out to her mate over and over again. I knew that she wanted me to go follow the scent, and by the way it kept growing stronger, I knew that he'd be here any minute now. I didn't stick around to find out who I was destined to be with, I shoved my chair back and ran out the back door of the class.

I wasn't ready for this. I didn't want a mate.

My wolf kept howling out to her mate, growling at me for running away, but I didn't care. I wouldn't and couldn't face him. All I could think about is how dissapointed he might be after he finds out I'm his mate. I know that I'm probably overreacting but it can't be helped. I've just gotten use to the fact that I'm a dissapointment to others.

As these thoughts crossed my mind, I ran to my safe haven. The only place where I could sit and think, calming my heart and thoughts down.

The library.

My main reason for heading there was cause of the second person in this school that brought me joy. Chloe. Chloe was the only other person in this school that actually treated me like an actual human being. If a person really thought about it, we were kind of the same. Though she was so much more beautiful. I knew that she didn't have class at the moment, so she would be in there. Unlike me, Chloe was very shy around people, except for Dylan and me.
