Her Mate, The School's Player novel Chapter 7

"Damian, she just needs time, it's only been two days", Paul says.

"What if she never loves me", I say.

"She's your mate, of course she loves you. She can't help it or stop it, that's the way it is with mates", Nick says.

"Yeah you're right", I say.

"Now come on, let's go back", Jason says.

"But I don't want her loving me because we're mates and we have to, I want her to love me for me".

"And do you love her for her?" Kevin asks.

"Yes, I've loved that girl for years, she's the only person I've ever loved. I love her smile, eyes, hair, body, personality, face, everything about her. I couldn't say anything, Devon would kill me", I say.

"You've been in love with Amber for years?" Simon asks with disbelief.

"Yes, the only thing that's changed during this mate effect is that I want her more, the love I had for her is still the same. I need her so bad", I say.

"Then why have you been sleeping around for like the past three years?" Paul asks.

"I just wanted to have a bit of fun before I found my mate. I don't like the way I treated all those girls but what's done is done", I say.

"Look Amber will love you for you, she just needs to get to know the real you, give her time", Kevin says.

"Thanks", I mumble. They pat my back and we go back to the pack house. When we enter some people were cleaning up the mess I made. "I'm sorry, I'll clean the rest".

"Oh how long has she been asleep", she asks. I look down at Amber who I was holding. She was sleeping, I never knew she fell asleep.

"I didn't even know she fell asleep", I say.

"Maybe you should bring her up to her bed". I nod and carefully lift Amber up. I make sure not to wake her and walk upstairs. I let go off one hand from holding her and open her door. Since I'm a werewolf I could lift anything. Amber felt like a feather. I lay her on her bed and take off her shoes. I pull the covers over her and move the hair out of her face. I stroke her cheek and kiss her forehead.

"Goodnight little sis", I whisper. I close her door behind me and go to bed too. There's no way I'm apologising to Damian even if he is the Alpha. I wish I could tell Amber everything but I can't. I don't like keeping secrets from her. But she'll find out on her own time when she turns into a werewolf.

Amber's POV:

It's been two weeks and Devon hasn't talked to Damian. They're still fighting, so I haven't seen Damian besides at school. He's been acting strange to me these past two weeks. He's actually acting nice and kind. He's not such a bad guy as I thought. I don't know why he talks to me or why he sits beside me in class. My feelings for him have become stronger too. I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from kissing him any longer. I've noticed he hasn't been with any girls.

Two weeks, that must be a record for him. I'm glad he's stopped being like a player, I hope he stays that way, because if I see a girl with him I'll get really jealous. I put my books into my locker and turn around to see Damian with a girl. Damn I jinxed it! She was giggling and he was smirking, that doesn't look good. I actually thought he liked me, I'm such an idiot. Why would a player like me? Damian looks over at me and I give him a cold look before I walk off. He comes after me.
