Chapter Four

JAYVEE

Classes flew by for the first day in a long time, it felt like I was in a class one minute then gone the next. That was until it was time for my last class; Business Management.

I was about to walk into the room when he bumped into me, the most amazing smell, the cute small frame, the adorable nose, mesmerizing eyes, with just one look, without a word this man had me wrapped around his finger. My mate.

Goddess, he was beautiful. Absolutely stunning. He was everything I thought but better because he was standing in front of me – not waiting for me in my dreams.

"You are beautiful," I said, letting some of my thoughts spill.

"I have a boyfriend," He said pushing past me. When our skin touched I couldn't help but let out a soft groan. I couldn't wait to have him for myself.

'Don't pay any mind to that 'boyfriend' of his. He will be out of the picture soon enough' My wolf said to me, I nodded in agreement before stepping into the classroom. My mate sat in the seat closest to the door, giving him some space, I sat across the room.

I paid the teacher no mind as they spoke, keeping my eyes on my mate. "Jayvee Haddox you will be with Aiden Smith. Aiden, raise your hand, please" the teacher said, I was extremely pleased to see my mate's hand raised.

I got up from my seat and walked over to my mate, Aiden. "Looks like you're stuck with my gorgeous." I grinned at him.

"What do you want to sell? I would like to make a bakery seeing as it's my actual goal in life." His eyes let up mentioning his dream. It pleased me to know that his dream was easily obtainable.

"Let's do a bakery then, it'll be good practice for me since I'll be taking over the one my parents own when I finish school." His eyes raked over me, so I took the chance to look at him better.

"Alright so a bakery, before we go any further I'm gonna need you to stop flirting with me. I am happy with my boyfriend."

My face fell but I covered it quickly before saying "Okay, I'll stop for now but don't miss my flirting too much sugar" I winked at him; I didn't miss the shiver it sent through him.

"Trust me, I won't." He said, obviously lying.

It was later that night, and I couldn't keep my mate out of my mind. "Dad, do you ever not think about Mom?" I asked from the bar counter that looked into the kitchen, where my dad stood at the stove cooking dinner.

"You and your mother are always on my mind, why do you ask?" he paused like his brain was loading. "Did you meet your mate?" he asked/yelled.

There was a crash from down the hall then the pounding of footsteps could be heard.

"You met your mate?" My mother demanded as she walked into the kitchen.

"Yes, I met my mate, he is male, and he is everything I could ever want. But he is taken and human." Their faces fell at the last part.

"Don't worry son the bond will draw him to you" My mother said "That's what happened with your father and me"

"What do you mean? Dad is a wolf too – not human"

"Well, your father was nervous about being with an alpha, but after a while the bond made him change his mind."

"The bond is why you two are together?" I asked when they confirmed I continued, "I don't want Aiden to love me because the bond is telling him to, I want him to love me because he wants to."

"Son, as nice as that'd be, we aren't humans, we don't live the same way they do. This is just one of those differences. I'm sorry but there is no changing that."
