Chapter 5 Getting to know each other.

As he was trying to figure out who hurt his mate, I quickly fired questions at him. "What is your name?" I asked. "Justin" he replied. "What pack do you belong to?" I pressed on. "Sweet Water pack, we are just north about twenty minutes away." Lastly, I asked him, "why are you being so nice to me?" Justin told me that I am his mate and deserves all the happiness that life has to offer. "I don't know who hurt you before, but I can promise that you will never be hurt like that again." I could no longer control the tears; I did not know how to react.

Justin slowly hugged me not want to startle me all over again. He asked if he could join me in my room.

I was a little nervous, but I agreed, so we could get to know each other. We talked for hours learning everything from our favorite food to biggest pet peeve. I could not believe how easy it was to talk to him. I reluctantly told him all about the abuse and the rejection once I figured out that he was not going to hurt me. Justin was beyond pissed when he heard how they treated me. He wanted to jump back in the vehicle and drive to Roanoke. I was able to talk him down and asked him to please let me just let it go.

He took me by the hand and pulled me down on the bed. I froze because I have never been this close to a male, let alone lay with one in a bed. Justin gently pulled my back to his chest and just wrapped his arms around me. As he got closer to me, he took a giant whiff of my neck. Justin has never found a smell more alluring as my scent. He said I smelled of chocolate and cherries. Slowly I drifted off into the most peaceful sleep I have ever had.
