Chapter Five

We reach a building it looks to be the size of the football field on the other side of campus it's a beautiful ivory color,

he opens the door and we step in, a woman is sitting in a tall chair behind a glass podium and she looks up at us "Erik is something wrong?" her voice is calming and very soft then the scent of sage fills the air

It's coming from Erik, you're only supposed to be able to smell your mate and children's scent.

"I think I found my mate"

Wait how is that a bad thing...well for him anyway I already found mine and that bastard put me into a coma,

her eyes grew wide "Did you have a vision Erik?" he nodded his head when she looks at me "Did you have a vision as well?" I nodded as well "But I found my mate six months ago" I tell her, "Well what happened with him?" she asks "He rejected me, marked another woman and it put me into a coma until May 15th" Erik looks at me

"That was a few days ago" he says, I look into his eyes "That's why I said I wasn't here from November until a couple of days ago" He looks back at the woman "How is this possible we both found out mate and were rejected?"

Woah didn't expect that

"Well it seems like Luna gave the two of you a second chance at love" she tells us and I look at the floor to collect myself "Hazelmere?" I look up at her "How do you know my name?" I ask

"Well I am the high priestess of this school and you are the only female to be rejected in the last six months...I could have used your first name but I understand that you don't like to be called by it so I didn't"

She sounds kinda scary now

"Oh" Of course that was all I could manage to say what is wrong with me?

"Well Hazelmere my name is Jaclyn and if you need anything I'm here" she says with a smile

Okay not scary anymore

"Thank you" I say to her. "Thank you for telling us that Jaclyn" Erik spoke to us and grabbed my wrist then started pulling me out the door "Goodbye Erik and it was nice to meet you Hazelmere" she said "You too" I say before he dragged me out the building.

"So Hazelmere is your middle name" Erik says "Yes it is" I shyly look at the ground ahead of us, "How come you don't like to be called by your first name if you don't mind me asking?" he looks at me with his...

I just realized that his eyes are a deep blue much darker than my own.

"I have no idea, I just never really have and not many people outside of my family know my first name" I say feeling my cheeks start to burn "Who else knows outside of your family?" he asks "My best friend but he never used it he always called me Hazel" tears sting my eyes "Why are crying?" he puts his hand on my cheek and looks at me with sorrow filled eyes.

"My best friend passed away in a car accident a few years ago...I've felt guilty ever since" I fail to hold back my tears and they fall down my face, he pulls me to his chest and runs his hand over the top of my head "It's okay...why do you feel guilty about his death?" he asks me "I-I can't tell you I just met you today" I pull away from his chest "I understand" he looks at me with those eyes that could stop time.

I haven't felt this way about anyone other than Caleb and I've only known the guy for like an hour and it's weird how close I feel to him. I did feel close with Ryan but this is different and I'm pretty sure Erik isn't going to put me into a coma considering he's been rejected as well.

Erik, seems like a nice guy but I am going to keep my distance so it doesn't happen again, we could just be friends for a little while and then go from there.

*Erik's P.O.V*

Hazelmere she's something else, yes I just met her and I know nothing about her but I can just tell she's different from Lynn her scent is intoxicating it smells like Lavender.

While Lynn's was roses and I'm not a big fan of roses they're really cliche. But when she cried it hurt me to see the tears run down her face, I want to get to know her better and she seems like an amazing girl.

We start walking after a few minutes once she calmed down,

I'm really confused about why we're mates due to us both being rejected by our first mate so this is more than likely the work of Luna (The moon goddess of werewolves) she must have felt bad for us and thought we needed a second chance and/or each other,

"Erik?" her soft voice pulls me out of my thoughts "Yes" I look into her blue eyes and this odd feeling washes over me and in my mind, a bunch of random things running through my head,

like names of movies, colors, books, and so many things, then I realize that they're Hazelmere's favorite things, I know almost everything about her and it's weird this isn't supposed to happen until we have known each other for a while not a few minutes.

Once it goes away she looks at me "Did we just?" She felt it too "I think so" I say looking at the ground

She seems insanely familiar now, I knew a Hazelmere when I was younger-it's not exactly an uncommon name among werewolves but the Hazelmere I knew passed away in a car accident two years ago,

I called her 'Hazel with blue eyes and she was the last person that called me by my first name Caleb in that voice of hers, I kind of forgot what her voice sounds like and my memory of her face is a bit blurred,

but all I know is that she was my first love. We decided to lose ourselves to each other rather than to the people who might tear our friendship apart,

I fell in love with her and before I could tell her we were in that accident, I was in a coma for two weeks and I couldn't go to her funeral and she wasn't buried anywhere,

I was also told that her mother didn't want to speak with my family anymore so my mom had us move to the next state over, it's been two years since my 'Hazel with blue eyes' was taken away...I miss her so much and I can't wait for the day I get to see her beautiful face again.
