⠀describe how sorry he was. The look of complete betrayal on your face when you had seen him kissing another man hurt him more than it should have. The guy was just a target - a meal of his, that he decided to toy with, to lore him in. He always did that, even before meeting you, so why did it sent a jolt of pain through his unbeating heart when you ran off in complete heartache?

Dwayne was supposed to be a killer, someone cold and deadly by blood, yet he couldn't get out of his head, that look on your sweet face. As soon as you had ran off, he dragged the man to a nearby alley and killed him then and there ; shushing him by placing a hand over his mouth to silence the pain filled screams. With each drink he took, the tears that fell out of your eyes and rolled down your luscious ( skin color ) cheeks flashed through his mind, causing him to inflict an even more painful experience on the dying man.

After getting rid of the body, he immediately set out to find you. He wasn't one that had gotten close to you like Marko and Paul did - hell even David liked you, Dwayne just couldn't get over the fact that he actually had someone to spend eternity with. It wasn't natural, in his eyes. Although he was supposed to be the silent but sweet one, he was only that way towards his family. The vampire didn't exactly count you as family - at least, he thought he didn't, but after seeing you in so much pain with just that incident, he knew that he cared for you. That you were the one. That you even loved him, despite knowing what he was.

You had only known the boys four months, but that was enough to fall so helplessly in love with the dark haired member of the gang, that had given you the cold shoulder no matter how sweet you were to him. It was enough time, as well, to realize he'd never return the feelings you had for him. It was only a month prior that you had learned about what he and his brothers were, but even with knowing that fact, your feelings never faded. You even asked yourself, if you were bothered by them being blood suckers, but you couldn't find it in yourself to say ‘ yes, I'm bothered by these freaks feasting on humans ’. No, instead, you were more intrigued. That only led to you becoming more infatuated with Dwayne than you should've been.

Marko was the first to pick up on your feelings for his brother. He saw you staring him down one day when he was working on his motorcycle, and couldn't help but to feel the way your pulse picked up when you were studying the way Dwayne's brown hair fell so elegantly down his back and over his shoulders. The blonde was definitely no dummy, he knew you were Dwayne's mate, but he never actually expected for you to fall for the dark haired male, with how different you were. To make sure his suspicions were correct, he questioned you, only to have it confirmed by the way you had stuttered and flushed so easily. It didn't take him long to start testing you about it.

When Marko found out, Paul found out, and when Paul found out, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, which meant the other two found out. Dwayne was perplexed when the news was brought to his attention, but ended up brushing it aside, thinking that there was absolutely no way you had feelings for him. He wasn't insecure, he knew he could pull just about anyone he wanted, but you just weren't the type to fall so easily. Oh, how wrong he was on that.

Now, a month later, he was searching all around the boardwalk for you, completely angered with the fact that he pushed you away so many times, when he could have just given into the mating bond and formed an actual bond with you. But no, he had to be stubborn - had to doubt that you of all people, wouldn't love him. It was just frustrating to know that you had feelings for him, that he returned, yet rejected all along.

It took some time, but after catching a whiff of your unique, mouth watering scent, he found you curled up on the far end of the beach. Knees brought to your chest, chin tucked over the center of your kneecaps, while ( eye color ) eyes tearfully looked up at the night sky ; silently observing twinkling stars. You could hear the soft crunching of the grain behind you, but you paid no mind to it, for you were much too caught up in your own head, thinking, ‘ what could I have done different? ’.

You knew he wasn't yours, that he was free to do what he wanted, but that didn't stop your heart from getting broken.

“ I've been looking everywhere for you.. ” The sound of his deep, yet soft voice is what caught you off guard. First, your head snapped in his direction, eyes widening like a deer caught in headlights - then, you immediately scrambled to stand up, backing away from the man you wanted to avoid at best. It wasn't his fault you freaked out, but you didn't want him to see you after that whole incident went down.

“ Relax. ” Dwayne calmly stated, slipping his hands into the pockets of his jacket. He continued forward, silently walking towards you, once you stopped on his command. “ I'm not here to lecture you, or make things awkward. I want to talk to you. ”

You immediately wondered if this was where you got rejected, where he tells you that you two never have a chance with dating... You almost even consider running, to avoid the conversation all together, but Dwayne read your mind, you knew that, because he instantly shot out a hand and grabbed your arm.

“ Just listen to me. ” Despite the hard look on his face and iron grip on your arm, his tone came out soft, almost like melted butter. “ You don't have to speak.. but at least hear me out. ”

Your ( eye color ) orbs darted back and forth between him and everywhere else, not exactly being able to focus. It was a big decision, deciding whether to tune in on what he had to say, or blocking him out. Even so, you made up your mind ; nodding your head slowly, in agreement, once he gently released you.

Silently, Dwayne sat down in the sand, only to end up patting the grain beside as an invite to join him. You hesitantly stepped closer, before lowering your body down into a sitting position as well ; taking your time to get comfortable as he began speaking.

“ Do you know what a soulmate is? ” He started off the conversation with the vogue question, seeming to catch you off guard. Although you didn't want to speak, to mumbled out a small ‘ yes ’, to which he glanced at you and nodded, in reply. “ Well, us vampires get one - sometimes a chance at two, though that's rare.. ” Finger tips drum against his bare knee, that peaked out from the rips in his jeans. “ They're given to us so that we have a chance at spending eternity with another - like when humans get married, for example. ”

You stared at Dwayne in interest, wondering exactly where he was going with this, as he continued. “ Our mates have a decision on accepting or denying us, as we do them. ” He paused, momentarily, to look down at the ocean's waves that seem to be crashing strongly ; bringing the water to rest lightly at his booted feet. “ ...That's why I never got too close to you. ” Dark orbs flickered back up to meet your slightly bright, curious ones. “ I was afraid of rejection. I was afraid of getting too close to someone, who'd only ever see me as a friend in the long run. ”

At first, you didn't exactly get what he was implying. He went from talking about soulmates, to discussing the friendship you two didn't have. You thought, that there was a possibility of him saying you were his mate, but just exactly how would that be the case? There's no way, right?

“ ... Am I your soulmate, Dwayne? ” You hesitated with the question, but proceeded to ask anyway, truly wondering if you were. You saw the way his eyes flashed with emotion, something you couldn't quite pinpoint, before he exhaled heavily and nodded his head ; eyes falling into a half-lidded, almost embarrassed gaze.

It took you a moment to process this, too bewildered with the new found information, but once it sunk in, you couldn't help but to bite your bottom lip with your own embarrassment. It was news for you, alright, and you weren't sure how to take it.

“ You should've told me sooner.. ” The sudden words leaving your lips, caused the vampire to raise his head ; looking at you curiously. You were looking out at the ocean, avoiding his hard gaze, as you continued to speak. “ I wouldn't have rejected you. I'm.. not too sure how you feel about me, but I actually like you. Really like you. ”

A jolt of electric passed through Dwayne's chest, upon hearing that. He couldn't believe you said that... It had to be some sick joke, right? “ How much? ” The darker haired male questioned, only for your eyes to flicker onto him. A small grin was dancing on his lips, one he hasn't even noticed had risen, but by the looks of it, you could tell it was a happy one.

“ A lot. ” You breathed out, trying your best not to focus on the lips of the other male. It was hard, with the way he stared at you, almost as if he was pushing you into talking more. “ I like you so, so much, Dwayne. ”

Dwayne couldn't help himself. Whether it be the bond forcing him to do so, or his actual feelings, he didn't quite know - but before he could register what was happening, he was already gripping the front of your shirt and pulling you into a kiss.

You squeaked in surprise, not expecting the kiss nor the fast movement of him fisting your shirt, and pulling you closer. It caught you off guard, but you weren't complaining. Letting your eyes flutter shut, you kissed the vampire back, inhaling the sweet scent of pine and slight cigarette smoke that came along with him.

You weren't sure when, but at some point during your kiss, it had started to pour ; soaking you completely, along with Dwayne. Your hair stuck to your forehead, which tended to bother you, but in that moment you could've cared less. All that mattered, is that you finally managed to snag the man of your dreams.

“ Hey, break it up you two! ”

The distant call of a familiar voice is what caused you both to part. You, slightly panting, while Dwayne was smirking to himself in success. You would've stared at each other for who knows how long, if it weren't for Paul laughing obnoxiously, not too far away from you both.

“ Come on, lover boys! It's time to head back home! I'm getting more wet than a pornstar over here! ”

At the mention of that, you blushed slightly, not exactly used to the way your friend talked, despite being around him for so long. Dwayne only laughed, before pushing himself off of the now wet sand, and standing.

“ Come on, ” he grinned, holding a hand out to you. “ I think we should get going. ”

“ Agreed. ” You laughed, taking Dwayne's hand, only to crash into his chest from him roughly pulling you up. You gulped from closeness, but Dwayne didn't seem to mind one bit.

“ C-Come on.. ” You mumbled, pulling back, while the vampire watched you with hooded eyes. “ I wouldn't want to keep the others waiting.. ”

He silently stepped back, to let you pass him, but only because he rather not let you know that the thoughts invading his brain, were actually getting to him. You were his now.. and he could do what he wanted... which included completing the mating process.

He was yours now, and you were happy with that. But question was, how exactly did the mating process get completed?

Only time could tell. Until then, the two of you had to get back to the cave, and out of the rain.
