made him more sexy. I’m in a bed with this hot guy, and I’m not even doing anything with him. I guess guys just don’t find me sexy because I’m pretty sure any guy in this situation would take advantage of a girl staying in their bed. Just as I thought this I can feel the bed vibrate from laughter. I look over to Cole and see that his green eyes are now open. Shit. Did he hear what I just thought? Can he read thoughts? I’m going to kill him.

“Calm down, I haven’t been reading your thoughts this whole time, but with you being so close to me and your thoughts are pretty..um…let’s just say their louder than most of your other thoughts,” he says with a smirk plastered on his face. I go to push him off the bed and I was almost successful until at the last moment before he falls off he grabs my arm and drags me down with him. He lands with a big thump and I land right on top of him sending another loud sound through the walls.

He starts laughing uncontrollably and I couldn’t help it but join in. I think he becomes aware what position we were lying in because he stops laughing. Thinking he wanted to get up, I start to push some of my weight off of him, but he stops me. He tightens his hold on me and pushes me back on top of while he flips his body over mine. I stare up into his dark green eyes that were now filled with lust and he smiles at me right before he brings his lips to mine.

His lips move in perfect alignment with mine, and his tongue moves with confidence and no hesitation. My head was telling me to stop right this instance because we could never have a future together because he is a werewolf and I am a shadowhunter, and we both know that neither of our kind would allow this relationship. But my heart was beating so fast and my body was heating up so hot that I couldn’t think straight so I just let my body do whatever it pleased.

Cole’s hand slipped its way underneath my silky shirt and explored my body, and I took the liberty to do the same thing with my hands. Except he was already not wearing a shirt so I just let my hands roam around feeling his god-like sculpted muscles. Cole picks me up without breaking the kiss and places us onto the bed gracefully.

I push his body away from mine so I could speak, “Wait, I don’t want to go any further. I mean not tonight. I barely know you and you don’t know me at all,” I say out of breath.

“I understand, and I’m sorry I just got carried away. You’re just so beautiful and you don’t even know how beautiful you are, but that just makes you so much more gorgeous. And your personality is even better, you aren’t some weak girl who hides who she is; no you’re the most independent girl I’ve ever met. You don’t let anyone try to tell you who you are let alone tell you what to do, and I know for some guys that means too much work to deal with, but for me it just makes me like you even more. You aren’t an ordinary girl Melis.”
In that moment everything I said a couple minutes before flew out of my mind and I pulled him back to my lips aggressively. Our kiss became more intense and demanding. His hand travelled its way down to the edge of my silky shorts and played with the cloth, teasing me. I thrust my hips towards his body to tease him back, and I hear him groan in response.
“Wait, just because you said the nicest thing someone has ever told me before doesn’t mean you can get to get into my pants,” I meant to say confidently but it ended out coming out like I was asking him to have sex with me.

“Is that so? Because it seemed like you want me to.”
“I….uh…I just…I’m not this type of girl who hooks up with a guy for one night,” I explain.
“Good. Neither am I, and I’m not going to push you any further because I’m not that kind of guy. Goodnight Melis, sweet dreams,” and he kisses me one more time softly on the lips. Then I fall into a deep sleep…

I’m walking down an alleyway and I start to hear high pitch shrieks coming from around the corner. I start to run towards the sound, and I find a young girl being attacked by some kind of demon. I cant tell what it is because it has it’s back facing me, but I take out my sword and get ready to attack. The girl’s screams get louder as the beast gets ready to attack. I run up behind the demon and plunge my sword right into it’s heart. After I remove the sword I turn its body over so I can look at the monsters face. As I turn it over I immediately notice it is my own face, but deformed. My teeth were all crooked and jagged like shark teeth, and I had dark circles underneath my eyes. There were multiple scars along my face that almost made my face unidentifiable. Just as I was about to touch my own face it’s eyes pop open and they’re pitch black. I scream…
I wake up drenched in sweat, and I look over at the clock and see it’s only three in the morning. ‘Its just a dream Melis, just a dream’ I tell myself before closing my eyes again, but a familiar voice ‘Then why do you dream it every night? You know you’re a monster’.

The next morning I find myself wrapped up in Cole’s arms and I can feel his breath against my neck giving me chills. The good kind. I slip out of his embrace so I could get clothes from Adriana that way I didn’t have to face the rest of the pack dressed like this. Little did I know most of the pack was in the hall way talking.

“Nice hair, love,” Christian comments. I must have really bad bed hair…oh and that probably means they know something happened between me and Cole.
“Oh and those pajama’s…sexy might I add,” Aiden trails his eyes down my body and the rest of the guys look.

“Umm, hey guys. I thought everyone would still be sleeping. I guess not. These aren’t mine they are—“

“Adriana’s,” David tells them for me.

“Haha! Woah there David, you must get a show every night then,” Denis jokes and David hits him on the arm.

“Anyways guys I was wondering if I could get past so I could get some clothes from Adriana?”

“Oh yes indeed, tell her I have a request. Tell her I said to make it as sexy as this sleep wear of hers,” Aiden winks. I just push him into the wall and laugh.
“I’ll make sure she gives me a nun costume just for you Aiden!” I add sarcastically.

After I get some clothes from Adriana, I head back to Cole’s room so I could get ready. I was about to open the door until I heard Cole speaking with David.
“It’s her, I know it David,” Cole says.
“Are you positive? Have you told her yet?” David asks.

“No, I haven’t. I’m scared to tell her to be honest. I mean she isn’t a werewolf what if she doesn’t feel the same way I feel towards her?”

“Mates are mates Cole. Both people feel the same pull to each other. Plus I see the way she looks at you, you might as well be her favorite celebrity. The only thing I’m worried about is how this will affect her. I know the council will have to allow you to be with her since she’s your mate, but for shadowhunters there’s no law that states if your mates you can be together. I’ve heard that they can’t be with someone who isn’t a shadowhunter without being banished from their society.”

“I know. I just don’t know what to do, especially knowing that I can’t even mark my own mate because my bite will probably kill her,” Cole explains sadly.

I pushed the door open and was surprised to hear myself say, “I can’t stay here Cole.”
“What…what do you mean? I know you heard what we were talking about, and now you just want to leave?” Cole asks hurt.

“I don’t belong here. I’m suppose to protect people from downlorders, but how can I do that if I was with one? Shadowhunters would judge and ostracize me from their community, and I’m not a werewolf so I wouldn’t belong in your world,” I manage to choke out.
“I cant believe you’re saying this after tonight. I thought you felt the same way, but I guess I was wrong because if you did you wouldn’t care about what others thought,” he snaps.
“I do feel the same way, but I’m not living in some fantasy world where there aren’t any consequences Cole! Have you even thought for a second that I have family at home that I have left? You’re asking me to leave behind so much, and you don’t even understand! I’ve only known you for, what? Three days! I don’t think that’s long enough to make a huge decision that can change the rest of my life. I mean look at what happened to Romeo and Juliet after the fell in love after three days!” I yelled out. I looked over to the door where I saw the rest of his pack watching our big dispute.

“You want to know more about me?! OK here it goes, I’m the alpha in my pack, I can read minds and by touching a person I see everything from their past that they remember. I had a twin sister who died because I wasn’t there in time to save her from my own father. My father was a horrible monster who beat his own children just because he could. So when I was strong enough I challenged him and took over as the new Alpha. The next thing I did was move my pack from Australia and we came to California for a new beginning. You say I don’t know anything about you but once I touched you I saw what they made you go through! All those days of hard training, those nights you snuck out and saved all those humans lives, and those you were too late to save. I saw your memory when those demons almost killed you because you didn’t feel like trying anymore, but Lisa and Cory saved your life. Then I saw you being brave and strong saving a woman from being mauled by werewolf. I know you’re scared of this new feeling and to be honest I am too! I’ve never felt this way about a girl before, before you I was the biggest douchebag to girls and used them. But with you it’s different. You’re different. Please, please just don’t go,” Cole spills out and I start to tear.

“I—I just cant Cole….I’m sorry” I say before speeding out of the house, pushing past the others. I still have on the stupid pj’s Adriana let me borrow when I jump onto my motorcycle and speed off.

~Cole~

Why? Why did my mate have to be a shadowhunter? That made things so complicated, and she’s
