Chapter Four- Meeting
~rey's POV~
I whispered, "I'm yours," to her and heard her breath halt for a moment.
I knew that was risky, seeing as she's human and only just woke up. But my wolf was pushing me to claim her. To appease my wolf, I claimed her in the best way possible...I told her I was hers. I had to retrain from saying that she was mine as well, and it took every once of my will power. I had to keep in mind that she was new to my world and she was injured and weak.
'We need to take this slow,' I reminded my wolf. He let out a soft grumble of protest, but agreed knowing it was what our mate needed right now. I focused my attention back on the beautiful girl in front of me.
I remembered how she had flinched away from my hand earlier. That had just about tore my heart in two. someone has been striking my mate...and I hadn't been there to help her. I decided right then and there she'd never feel that kind of pain again as long as I was still breathing.
I looked into her amazing hazel eyes, searching for her reaction. I saw confusion and a small trace of happiness. My heart warmed at the idea that I had brought her happiness and I gave her a gentle smile. she slightly lifted one corner of her mouth in reply, making me smile even bigger. But i froze when she let out a humorless chuckle.
"Very funny, but seriously, what's your name?" she asked. I frowned at her.
"you can call me rey, beautiful." I told her and saw her grimace when I called her beautiful.
"Don't call me that." she demanded.
"No promises, but your chances might be improved if you told me your name." I reasoned with her feeling at a loss as to why I could'nt call her what she obviously was. But, took the opportunity to esquire more information.
"taani," she mumbled softly. It suited her well, a pretty name for a very pretty girl.
I brushed my thumb as gently as I could across the ghost of a bruise that marred the delicate skin of her cheek. Everything in me wanted to ask her about it. But, something in her eyes told me that I couldn't quite yet without causing problems. Instead, I stood and headed for the door.
"I'm going to go get the doctor. Please, don't go anywhere," I almost begged her.
"fine," she agreed albeit a little reluctantly.
On that note I headed out the door, nodded to one of my pack mates to guard the door, and raced off to find the doctor.

As soon as rey left the room I let out a sigh of relief. He had noticed one of the bruises,I was sure of it. He hadn't asked, but I know he wanted to. He had held back from doing so. And I was utterly grateful. If I had to talk about it...it would result in a panic attack, I could tell it would. Even just thinking about it had my pulse rising.
He seemed to genuinely care about me. But, I knew first-hand that people aren't usually how they appear at first. I shuddered at the thought of him turning out to be like every one else. I didn't even know this boy's last name and the thought of him hating me scared me to death and filled me with distress. I din't want him to hate me. I couldn't let him hate me.
'what is wrong with me, I don't know him, but it felt like I did. He felt familiar and safe. He felt...'STOP IT!'
"I am loosing my mind...That's the only explanation," I whispered into the empty room.
But he has told me he was mine, as much as I wanted to deny it, it made me happy. I made me feel warm and bubbly, and that was bad...right? part of me knew that i trusted him and wanted to be around him and the other part of me knew it was a bad idea. What part was stronger? I had absolutely no idea.
