Chapter 2

Elio

She's mine, I do not care.

When I was just a young boy, I was left behind by my biological family because I was different. I didn't have their colors and I was not strong. I was nothing like them. I couldn't withstand the brutal nature of the planet that we were on. It makes me a bit sick to my stomach to even remember back then when I was starving, awaiting my death because it was honestly the only thing that I could think about. I kept going back and forth in my head about it, trying to decide what to do but I couldn't be completely certain about that at all. I run my fingers through my hair, knowing what is going to happen in a few minutes.

Christopher is my brother, his parents having found me and took me in. He has always treated me well even though we were not related, and I honestly wasn't sure how this was going to go. I know that Christopher has been pining for his lover to come back home but I don't know why he is so bent out of shape about her. It's pretty obvious that he broke up with her and he didn't know what to make of it. I kept trying to ask myself what could be done at that moment. I hate how this has happened, asking myself what to do from there.

My heart is racing in my chest for an odd reason as well. I had never met his first love because I had to be sent to a special school for training since I wasn't human. It was kind of dumb, but I learned how to be a strong warrior and I didn't let anything stand in my way. It was perfect how I felt about it and I made sure that no one has ever stood in my way. I'm not a perfect person when it comes down to it, but I know that Christopher must really like this woman.

I don't know much when it comes to relationships. I'd like to think that there is more to it, but I couldn't be certain about that. I know for a fact that I have never loved anyone, and I don't think that I ever will. I don't see the need to be in a relationship with anyone due to the fact of what I have gone through. It has become pretty obvious some things that have happened, but I just don't know if there is ever going to be anything for me.

Running my fingers through my hair, I glance over at Christopher as he is standing by the door. I know she must be here by the nervous look on his face but the minute the door opens, he swoops her into his arms. I don't get a good look at her, curious to see what she looks like but I'm a patient man. When he finally let's go, I get a good look at her, and it is honestly like a punch to the gut.

Oh wow, she is beautiful.

She is much shorter than Christopher so I'm sure she would look very small compared to me. She's wearing slightly baggy clothing but even I can see that she has curves for days. Her long, curly brown hair falls down to her waist and she has pretty brown eyes. Her features are soft and delicate, looking like she would be perfect carrying my marks on her body. I want to make her mine…

I don't know why I am feeling the immediate connection, but I just know that I need her. It makes me nervous to think that she might actually want her, but it is pretty obvious to me that she doesn't feel the same way anymore. I feel really happy about that though because that means no one is going to stand in my way and I'm going to have to make sure that she never goes back to him…

It"s weird that I feel so possessive of her already and I just met her, but I think it is just a normal feeling. I let out a small sigh, running my fingers through my hair as I try to decide what I'm going to do from here. I couldn't be certain, but I just knew that there was no way that I was going to let her walk away from me now. I don't care what Christopher says either because I hate his guts in the sense that he could just break the heart of someone that I have cared about so much.

It might be a bit ridiculous, but I can just see what she wants. I know how badly she wants to fall for someone and how she just wants to be treated the right way. I keep asking myself where to go with this, unsure of the repercussions if I end up accepting her and making her mine. I couldn't be completely certain about it though, worrying what might end up happening if it goes badly.

Sighing softly, I see her look at me and our eyes meet. My stomach is churning with nerves, slightly worried about what might end up coming next. I keep trying to tell myself what could happen next but when I look at him, I have just figured out that maybe the best thing for me to do is to make her mine and do it right in front of Christopher.

If I claimed her right in front of him, would he back down? Would he realize that he can't have her anymore? I honestly couldn't be sure at this point, but I do know what I want, and I will stop at nothing to have it…

I just hope that I don't end up regretting it because she is just too beautiful to pass up on.
