My Mate and I.

　　Lisa walks into the house and her heart is reminded of the things she use to do with Peter before she left. She was once like Camilla.

　　She is like Camilla.

　　She is also entangled with Peter but she has to let go of her feelings for him. She isn't ready to face the heartbreak that is indefinitely coming in the future.

　　As she steps into the house, she redirects her steps to the kitchen. Maybe she should greet Mary before moving further into the house but as she gets to the kitchen she hears Peter's voice and her legs freeze.

　　"Mary, I like Lisa but she doesn't like me," Peter is telling her and Lisa feels like her insides will give up on her.

　　Peter is admitting openly to Mary that he likes her. Her heart folds as she is hit with a vast amount of emotion.

　　Why is it so difficult for her to just be with him? Why did her life have to turn out the way it did? Why did her brother have to die?

　　"Is that why you went back to Sandra?" Mary says and this breaks Lisa's heart even further.

　　The tiny pieces she has been holding on to fall onto the floor and she starts gasping for air so much so that she pushes the kitchen door open wider.

　　Peter turns and surprises flash through his eyes. He didn't expect to see her here.

　　"Lisa?" He calls, getting up immediately to get to her.

　　Lisa feels jealous and betrayed at the same time. Why did Peter have to be with someone else? Why did he go back to Sandra after he said he liked her?

　　If he liked her enough he wouldn't go back to her!

　　She was right all along. They didn't belong together. They couldn't be together and this proved it.

　　She ran out of the house heading to the gate when she ran into Ethan.

　　Ethan was talking to the guards at the main entrance and is surprised to see Lisa running toward them with tears in her eyes. He panics as he thinks maybe it has something to do with Camilla.

　　"Lisa?" He calls her. But she waves her hands at him and walks out of the compound.

　　Ethan is confused. He thinks of going after her but his wolf pulls him back to the house to his mate. He has to check on how she is doing.

　　He turns back and is about to start running when he and Peter almost knock each other out.

　　"Fuck!" Peter groans massaging his forehead.

　　"What's going on?" Ethan demands as he holds on to Peter who is ready to bolt away again.

　　"I have to talk to Lisa. I'll explain later." Ethan understands and lets him go.

　　Peter runs out of the estate and into the street in search of Lisa. She will return to her house. As he searches around and doesn't see her, he returns to pick out one of the cars in the compound and drives after her.

　　**

　　Ethan runs to Camilla's room. He pushes the door open without even knocking and he is immediately frozen on the spot.

　　Camilla is sleeping peacefully.

　　He quickly takes a step out and closes the door gently behind him. That means the fight between Lisa and Peter has nothing to do with her. She probably doesn't even know that Lisa came around.

　　He retraces his feet back outside and meets the guards closing the main gates.

　　"Did Peter leave?" He asks them.

　　"Yes, Alpha he went out with one of the cars. " one of the guards says.

　　"Okay," Ethan says, turning to return to his office. There is nothing he can do at that point but to wait for Peter to return and hopefully they will settle their differences without another violence. Peter liked Lisa and Ethan's only hope is that they get to accept each other.

　　Peter has been craving to be loved for a very long time. Sandra was never good to him. She caused him so much stress and pain and even Ethan got tired of her. His friend needs someone who will truly love him for him and not for her personal interest as Sandra had done.

　　Peter on the other hand has gotten to Lisa's apartment and he is at the door. He feels like a large lump is sitting on his chest and he is close to tears.

　　He knocks at the door but she doesn't open it. Neither does she answer.

　　"Go away!" She screams.

　　He smiles sadly, at least she knows he is the one.

　　"Lisa, please I can explain-" he starts to say but she doesn't let him finish.

　　"I do not need your explanation Peter to go away!" She screams again and Peter hears the sound of something crashing inside

　　His wolf goes into overdrive and he starts hitting the door open. "Lisa, I am breaking this door if you don't let me in. What are you doing?" He roars.

　　He is scared and angry at the same time

　　Why did he even have that kind of conversation with Mary to start with? what even made him go to Sandra's room in the first place? Why didn't he go and talk with Ethan or even the guards?

　　"Lisa!"

　　"I said go away. I don't want to see you. Go to Sandra!" She sniffs and Peter's heartbreaks.

　　She is hurt just as much as he is and his wolf is unable to handle it.

　　He gives the door one final shove and it flies open.

　　Lisa has turned the house inside out and she is sprawled on the floor, crying. Her nose is red and her cheeks are flushed.

　　"I said go away!" She yelled, thrashing the glass in her hands.

　　Peter runs to her and holds her in his hands despite her struggles. "Lisa please, don't do this to yourself. You misunderstood the situation. Nothing happened between me and Sandra. I swear to you. Nothing happened. We are just friends now. Please try to believe me!"

　　He tries to beg her but she keeps struggling in his arms.

　　"I am no fool, Peter. Just because I didn't have the privilege of going to a fancy school and I ended up a stupid thief doesn't mean you have to play with my feelings like this!" She wails.

　　Her words make Peter very angry. Lisa is looking down on herself and that's why she keeps refusing him. He wants her. And he doesn't care what she is. What she has done or the kind of life she lives. Yet she wasn't seeing that. She is only focused on the bad side of their lives and she continues to compare their social status as it mattered.

　　"You are not a thief Lisa. Nobody said you were! I only went to Sandra because I wanted to talk to her about the picture you refused to talk to me about! And I promise nothing happened! I already confessed my heart to you. I love you, Lisa! But you keep rejecting me what else do you want me to do?"

　　Lisa stops struggling and starts crying bitterly. "But I am..." She sobs.

　　"What do you mean?"

　　"I am a thief. I and Camilla. We are pickpockets. We are not worth all the trouble you and Ethan are going through! We don't deserve you guys, love!"

　　Peter feels a relief wash over him and he holds her even tighter.

　　"Is that what that picture was about?" He asks her calmly.

　　Lisa sniffs and turns to look at him. "Yes. That's what that picture was about. That's what our encounter was about. We are thieves. Can you see now why we can't be together?"

　　Her lungs constrict painfully together and she finds herself unable to breathe as she confesses to him. She knows that after the confession. He is going to leave and never return. She has lost her only chance at love because she could no longer lie.

　　"Is that all?" Peter asks and she is shocked.

　　He didn't shout. He didn't throw a fit. He only spoke calmly and gazed into her eyes.

　　She nods her head and holds her breath waiting for his reaction.

　　Peter pulls her chin upward and smiles before crashing his lips unto hers.

　　Lisa Is shocked and she doesn't move as Peter kisses her gently melting all her resolves. All her doubts.

　　"I don't care what you are Lisa. I love you just the way you are... No matter what you are..."

　　Lisa cannot believe her ears. Tears trickle down her cheeks and Peter kisses her again, using his thumb to clean away her tears.

　　"Don't ever think that you are below anyone in any way. You are special and I am glad I have found you, Lisa, " he whispers as he starts kissing down her neck to the point where her neck meets her shoulder.

　　Lisa is lost in the sensation. Now that she has confessed the truth of who they were to him and he has accepted her. There is nothing else holding her back from releasing her feelings. She pulls Peter's face back up to meet her face.

　　"I love you too Peter, " she whispered before crashing her lips into him.

　　The kiss starts slow and gentle but their need soon takes over and their lips start fighting for control as Peter licks and sucks on her lip while she does the same to his bottom lip.

　　Their need takes over them and he slips his hand to the back of her dress and opens it. As his bare fingers caress her skin she feels goosebumps pump from around her and she is breathless with need.

　　"Peter..." She moans out as he moves his finger to her nipples. He starts massaging them and Lisa gasps with glee.

　　Peter takes the chance and deepens the kiss. He slips his tongue into her mouth starting every part of her while his fingers fondle and massage her breast till her nipples ate aching with need.

　　"Peter, I want you..." She whispers getting completely out of breath.

　　Peter's wolf takes control and he that moment he recognizes her as his mate. He tears her clothes off her body and lifts her to the bed. He undresses in a matter of seconds and he places his member at her entrance.

　　Her middle throbs with need and she feels like she will run crazy with need if he doesn't insert it into her.

　　Peter teases her entrance by tapping gently on her clit and penetrating only slightly.

　　Lisa pulls his mouth for another kiss. Putting all her love and desire into it.

　　Peter is driven to the extreme and he thrust hard into her, their moans feeling the entire corridor.
