Chapter 13

Emma's POV:

"She's been ignoring me all week!"

"Well just tell her the truth then Emma." Lance said nonchantely reading a book.

"I can't just tell her the truth.. you should have seen her reaction when she realized I don't have a heart beat!" I was pacing back and forth in this moment. As Elisia walks in.

"Emma. Tell her. She knows already. She just wants to hear you say it. She won't ask you to leave. She loves you." Obviously she says this like she know's this, because she's already seen it. I wish I could see it for myself so I could be absolutely sure.

"She could change her reaction though..she could end up hating me."

"No, I promise you. She can never hate you. You two are mates that won't ever change. She's not going anywhere. She just wants the truth and she deserves the truth."

"What if I lose control? I almost marked her...." They both looked up at me.

"You will feel close to edge, but you wont ever go over until she says she's ready." Hearing her say this brought me a little comfort.

Marking her would have made her mine forever. When a vampire bites they can drink blood, turn someone, but also when they bite their mate they can mark them... It's a burning pain for the first few minutes and then to humans it just looks like a small tattoo, but to other supernatural entities it will glow letting them know they have their mate and are taken.

Once they've been marked they can both talk to one another in their heads, they feel each others emotions, they are just more in sync. This is always the solidifying moment of your heart beat returning it's stronger. It'll beat here and there when the bond starts, beats more regularly when they tell you they love you, and regularly beat after the marking. I can already do these with Mila, but she would then be able to do it to me.

"Alright I'm going to tell her..."

Mila's POV:

Another school week.. It's been a full week without talking to Emma and it was draining. All I wanted to do was be close to her and kiss her. I have to wait though till she tells me the truth. Once she opens up about herself then I'll let my walls down. I had already let mine down. I wasn't going to be the only one! Being the only one vulnerable is scary.

I got to school soon and it was just routine from here. The days just blur together when she's not around. It was time for second period.. Yay! Time for me to be tortured and ignore her. But she didn't come in.. weird. In the middle of running I had to use the bathroom. Luckily the coach let me go after saying some sassy sarcastic coment as she always does. As soon as I had flushed and walked out of the stall I saw her. God she was still so beautiful. I found myself becoming dazed, but immediately shook out of it.

"Hey Emma.. Listen I don-"she closed the distance between us in the blink of an eye and picked me up and before I knew it she had me sitting on the bathroom sink as she hungerily kissed me. Oh fuck. This was like a fantasy. I gave in immediately kissing her hungerily back. Completely forgetting about being mad at her. We started making out and then she bit my lip..

"Ouch.." I looked up and I saw her eyes.. black and specks of glowing red. She didn't look away. And neither did I kept my eyes locked with hers. In this moment I realized she was finally opening up.. she was letting me see. I put my hand up to her cheek and kissed her softly and sweetly.

"I love you." I whispered against her lips as we were forehead to forehead. Her forehead started to feel warmer than usual.

"I love you too. So much."

We opened our eyes to look at one another and her eyes were back to normal. I gave her another quick kiss.

"You're coming over tonight and telling me everything." I said softly but made sure there was no room for her to argue.

"I have a game today. Soo.. first off you're going to come be my cheerleader.. and then we'll go back to your place and.. talk..." she said this seductively as she gave me a quick kiss.

As if we would be doing a little more than talking.. which we would.. I already knew that. She helped me off the sink. I was coming down from a high so far up the spiral down sucked. She turns me on so much!

"You turn me on so much too.." she said with a light chuckle.

"Hey! How'd you know... Wait!! Can you?"

"Mhm.." it makes sense now.

"Fuck... so you've known everything from the beginning...?" I started blushing at this point.

"Yes.. I also know how people are feeling and can control their emotions.." That makes so much fucking sense too. How just being around her makes me calm down and feel safe.

My first kiss was with a vampire. My first love is with a vampire. Should this scare me? Probably. Does it? No. I oddly feel safe.
