When I open my eyes I find Juriel with her arms and legs wrapped around mine. Half of her body was on top of mine and my arms were wrapped around her. I can’t help but smile. I have been watching her for a while. I know she’s stronger than she lets out to be. I saw it yesterday after she was rejected by her mate. He’s a fool for rejecting such a beautiful and kind creature, but it’s my gain. I have watched her in the Mixed Martial Arts gym as she trained and took people down. I watched how she interacted with other people, but when it was time to go back to the pack, I could see the sadness and hesitation in her eyes.
What drew me to her? Well, like I said before, it was her scent. It was strong and intoxicating. No, I didn’t think she was my mate at first, but after she accepted her mate’s rejection, I felt the need to feed from her and I knew she was my mate. I drank from her wrist and it was confirmed. I made sure to lick the wound to heal it then I fed her some of my blood. Not too much because I wont turn her unless she wants me to. The little blood was to help her heal faster. I was shocked that the rejection didn’t kill her, not that I would have let her died even if she wasn’t my mate.
Before I found out she was my mate, I always wanted to protect her. When she didn’t have money to eat at school, I always left her money in her closet or food for someone to give it to her. It made me happy how she would smile and enjoy her food while she ate. I will always leave her anonymous notes about not giving up and that she wasn’t alone. Us vampires don’t find our mate like werewolves or dragons do. We are different and the only way to find out its when we feel the need to feed and that can be easily mistaken for hunger.
“Mm” she moans cuddling closer to me.
“Mm, good morning to me” I pull her closer and looked down at her. Her beautiful purple with specs of electric eyes blue flutter open and they widen when she sees how she’s almost on top of me.
“Sorry” she bushes trying to move back, but I growl lowly pulling her closer.
“Stay. I like having you like this” I said truthfully. I felt her tense for a second before she relaxed.
“That’s it princess, relax” I said her grip tightening on me a little. Suddenly, she sat up.
“What time is it?” she asked.
“Around noon” I said and her eyes widen.
“I’m so late for school” she groaned placing her head on my chest.
“It’s okay. I called the school and told them you weren’t feeling well. It seems that everyone knows what happened to you” I said and she nods.
“Of course they would know and it’s not like they care” she said then looked at me.
“Thank you for calling in and thank you for taking care of me like you have been” she said. I wanted to kiss her so bad, but I didn’t. I needed to wait until she was ready, but I will woo her.
“You don’t need to thank me. I’m glad you’re here” I said truthfully and she blushed.
“Will you like brunch?” I asked her and she nodded.
“Okay, will you like to come with me?” I asked.
“Yes, but may I use the bathroom first?” she asked and I nodded and pointed to the bathroom. She sat up and went to get up, but stopped and looked back at me before kissing my cheek then ran into the bathroom and I chuckled as I gently touch my cheek. I got up and got dressed and when she came out I went in to do my morning routine. When I came out, I saw her on the sofa waiting for me. I smiled and took her hand and we walked out to the kitchen.
“Have a seat” I tell her. She does as I say and I begin to make pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I could feel her eyes on me the whole time I was cooking. I grabbed a glass and filled it with orange juice and placed it in front of her.
“Thank you” she smiled taking a sip of the juice. I made a plate for her and placed her in front of her.
“Thank you” she smiled and took a bite as she closed her eyes savoring the flavor.
“Mm, this is amazing. They are so fluffy” she smiled and took a piece of pancake and offered it to me. I opened my mouth and took the piece of pancake.
“Mm, it is good” I said and watched as her eyes looked at my lips. I licked my lips and her eyes followed the movement. I watched as her pupils dilated and she blinked her cheeks flushing. She continued eating and I grabbed a pancake and sat with her.
“How are you feeling today?” I asked her.
“I feel better thanks to you” she said and took a sip of her orange juice.
“That’s good. Will you like to go shopping? You need some clothes” I said and she looks down at her clothes.
“I don’t have money” she said.
“Let me handle that. Finish up and we’ll go shopping” I told her and she nodded. She finished eating her food and we headed out. I take her to the mall and I see her look around in awe.
“Have you been here before?” I asked her.
“No. This place is massive” she said and I take her hand.
“Then lets get started” I said. I took her to Victoria’s Secret and she blushed.
“You can pick out anything you want” I told her and saw her look at a few things, but only picked out a couple of thongs. So, I stepped in and grabbed a bunch lingerie, babydolls, thongs, bras, and a few extra things I would love to see on her. After I paid we went out to get some clothes and shoes. I even got her some workout clothes and shoes. Then we went to Sephora for make up.
“Is there anything else you would like?” I asked her and she quickly shook her head.
“No, no, this is more than enough” she blushed. I noticed a jewelry store and I wanted to get her something.

“There’s some ice cream over there. Why don’t get us some” I said giving her some money.
“Okay, what flavor would you like?” she asked.
“The same as you” I said and she nodded. She left and I waited until she was far enough before I walked to the jewelry store.
