Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 3

Upon entering the library I immediately spotted her. She sat in the far back corner, sitting on the ground, reading her favourite book, 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I've never personally read it, but she does recommended it.

Chloe is very beautiful, with her long blonde hair and amazing body. Something that was very different between us. She still wore her glasses, but wouldn't need it when she turns sixteen soon. It saddens me when I think that I won't be here for my teo best friends' birthdays.

Making my way over to her, I sat down. She closed her book and looked over at me in confusion.

"What happened? You never show up this early." She says seriously but still with a soft smile. I sigh and lean my head against the book shelf, causing her smile to fall and a look of concern to wash over her face.

"I found my mate." I whisper while playing with my fingers. I know how Chloe felt about mates. She's always wanted one, so I'm sure that she'll be angry at me for being so ridiculous.

"Thats amazing Sky! Who is he?" She yells, but immediately goes quiet when the librarian shush's her.

"I don't know. I didn't stick around to find out." I say nervously and flinch when I see her smile fall. Instead of a frown, like I thought she'd pull, she gives me a look of sympathy.

"Why wouldn't you want to know who he is? Is it cause you're moving?" She asks, placing her hand on my shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Yes and no. No cause, what if he rejects me Chloe? No one in this school would want to be my mate, what says that he'll be any different?" I ramble on, before groaning and putting my face in my hands.

Just then I heard my phone beep, indicating a new message. I sighed and pulled my phone out, scrolling to the message. I looked at the name and saw that it was Cole.

'Hey Sky, Mom and Dad said that we're leaving early. So we're outside. Hurry up. Time to go.'

Looking at that message, relief immediately flooded me. Now I wouldn't have to worry about running into him today. Turning to Chloe, I explained the message. She pulled me into her embrace and wished me luck. I left the library then made my way to find Dylan.

Finding Dylan was easy. I saw him in his class and he saw me. He asked to excuse himself then came out. I told him that I'm leaving now, to which he pulled me into his embrace. I smiled as he hugged me tightly, telling me how much he'll miss me. I pulled away before saying goodbye and walking away from him. I rushed to my locker, getting all the things I needed.

Then I smelt him.

I was completely shocked that I could shove an Alpha off of me, though I probably just caught him off guard. I started to walk away but yelped when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. I glared up at his confused face.

"What do you mean you'll see me in a year?" He asks, worry clear on his face. Why would he be worried? It's not like he would care about me?

"Go ask you Dad. Now let go!" Saying that to him, made him release his grip on my wrist slightly. He was obviously distracted and I made use of that. I pulled away from him and left him there. I pushed the front doors open and saw my brothers' car.

I was finally free. I could finally leave this hell in my life, leaving behind the person who made it hell. But I wasn't completely happy.

Climbing into their car, they asked questions on why I was so silent, but I didn't answer. I could only focus on the pain my wolf and I were going through with this rejection. I knew it was coming, but I never knew it hurt so much. I couldn't let them see the pain though. I refused.

I tried speaking to her, but all she could do was whimper in pain. I promised her that I'd never let someone hurt us like this again. Reaching home was quick and before I knew it, we were on our way to our new home.
