Dear Diary, I'm A Werewolf

Getting to know you

"I can reject a mate? Hmm... sounds simple enough. Then what? I can be with whoever I want?"

The voice inside my head, or my wolf I guess, whimpers at my question.

"Yes, unless you have a second chance mate. But, I guess you could reject them too if you want to be with someone else. The rejection process is both mentally and physically painful but will pass eventually. I just ask that you think it through thoroughly before going that route. Please."

Holy s**t. I feel like I just put together the last puzzle piece from the last few days after hearing this.

"Liam... am I your mate? Is that why I feel this pull toward you and why you have been so concerned about me since the first day of school?"

He stares at me for a moment before gently cupping my face.

"Yes." That one word makes my heart soar and before I realize it, I find myself kissing him. My body tingles with pleasure and I let out a soft moan.

"Kylie."The sound of my name coming from his lips has me wanting him even more.

"Please," I beg, wanting to feel more of him against my skin. Grabbing the bottom of his shirt, I lift it up until it's over his head and toss it on the ground.

Our lips connect once more before he abruptly pulls away.

"As much as I want you, and trust me, I do; we can't do this yet. You're still 17, and you are worth the wait."

I want to be angry with Liam, but he's right.

"So, it doesn't matter that I'm your mate? We still have to wait?" I pout like a little brat.

"Goddess, you're so f*****g adorable when you act like this. And to answer your question, it matters more than you could imagine. I want you to feel the complete bond and hear your wolf say that word when you look at me. Plus, you went through a lot tonight. I want our first time to be special."

"Alright, alright. Valid points. I would like to get to know you more though. Especially if we are destined for one another."

"I promised you that if you stayed here tonight, I would answer anything. So, go ahead. Ask away."

Wasting no time, I ask about normal topics first. I learned his favorite color is green, his favorite food is a bacon cheeseburger, etc. As I asked these, he asked mine.

Now, on to the werewolf questions.

"Who else in the school or town is a wolf?"

Liam lets out a soft chuckle. "Honestly, not many people. Most of our pack tends to stay on our territory and community. Besides myself, the only other wolves around here are Lucy, Brandon, and Cameron."

"Interesting, so if I'm a wolf, wouldn't that mean my dad or mom have that same gene? Do you think I was adopted and my parents never told me?" As I ask that out loud, I realize how crazy that is. My dad would have definitely informed me if I were.

"You know, I was wondering that myself. I mean, I know your mom is not a wolf or I would have scented her in the police station. Tell me about your father. If you don't mind, that is."

My heart beats rapidly but in a good way. Nobody has ever genuinely asked me about my life or my father since he passed away. With this man in front of me, I feel like I can be vulnerable and tell him anything and everything without harsh judgment.

As I'm about to tell him about my dad, my phone starts to ring.

The caller ID shows it's my mom trying to contact me. Ugh. She's truly the last person I want to speak with right now.

"Sorry," I mumble to Liam as I answer the call.

"Hello."

"Where the hell are you?"

"Why do you care? You think I'm a murderer. Wouldn't you rather stay away from me?"

I look over at Liam and I can tell he's angry by his body language.

"Just get your ass home before I call the cops." With that, she hangs up.

"There is no way I am letting you go back to that house with your mother."

Tucking my phone in my pocket, I look at Liam with remorse.

"Like you said, I'm still 17. I have to go."
