Rae had heard enough. She quietly left and went outside. Her hand shook as she booked an uber. Another so called boyfriend that wants to change her. Why can't they accept her as she is? Finally she got home and told Ally everything. Her phone had been buzzing for the last hour. She'd turned the ringer off after about 10 minutes of the non stop ringing. Ignoring it seemed like the best solution to her. She was still reeling over what those snobby jerks had said about her. An hour later there was a knocking at her door. Let's get this over with she thought. She opened the door and of course it was Jeremy. "Honey, I've been trying to find you for hours!" Jeremy replied. "Why?" Rae demanded. "What do you mean why? You left my parents party and didn't even tell me. Then you wouldn't answer your phone. Did your battery die?" He asked. "One hour and 45 minutes." Rae replied. "I don't understand." He replied. "That's how long you left me alone with those snobby people who ignored me.
Ally replied to his message. They exchanged info. Then he requested a live chat, which she was all willing to do. "OMG he wants to do live chat!!" She exclaimed. Allison decided to answer the phone and take her chances. "Hi James." Allison answered. "Hello Ally." Jame replied. "So, tell me all about you." She replied. "Well, let's see. I'm 149 years old, I'm from the Blue Moon Pack. My pack has lived in this territory for the last 750 years. I am the current beta to my pack. And I've been looking for a mate for the last 50 years or so." Jame replied. "Ok. But what are your likes?" Allison asked. "I like camping, moonlight walks in the woods, football, and you." James replied. "So tell me all about you." "I'm 27, I work in Human Resources for a publishing company. I like walking in the woods, but it's usually been during the day. I'm open to moonlit though. I do like football, but not sure about the camping. The whole bugs and no bathroom are kind of a no for me." Allison repl
"Books don't give you the opportunity for human interaction and possible friendship or even a relationship. Sadly they do have to charge due to website fees, software, workers, and other business expenses. Companies can't exist without money." James explained. "I understand that. But why paranormal? Why not call it what it is. Companionship or even dating, or friendship?" Raeanne asked. "There were way too many dating sites. Plus it's not really about dating, it's more about adventure. That's the fun of it." James replied. "Have you thought of joining?" He asked."Me? No of course not. Give me a good book any day for me to escape my troubles and I'm a happy woman." Raeanne explained. "You strike me as an alpha mate. I think you and my alpha who's also my best friend by the way, would really hit it off." James replied. "No thanks. I'm good. Well I'm off to bed. James it was nice chatting with you." Raeanne replied. "The pleasure was all mine." He replied. Raeanne got up and went
"Yeah, she's my mate." James replied. "Congrats man. But how do you know for sure? Have you met her in person?" Jake asked. "Not exactly met. I've been near her, but she didn't know. That made it clear to me that she's the one." James replied. "Well congrats! And maybe her bestie will be mine." Jake laughed. "Stranger things have happened." James agreed.Over the next week, Ally and James tried to get a live chat with Jake and Rae. Rae was being difficult and Jake had Alpha business. One day after work, Rae was coming out of the elevator in her building at work. Someone was waiting on her. "Raeanne, we need to talk." Jeremy demanded. "Jeremy we have nothing to talk about. We're over and have been since the night of your parent's party." Raeanne retorted. "Look, I know you were upset about what happened that night. Eavesdroppers never hear good stuff about themselves. But I gave you time to get over it. Now it's time for you to let it go so we can move on." He explained. "You
"These guys sign a contract. While they are under contract they can't date anyone else. And they have to be matched to at least one girl to complete it. That's what James told me." Allison explained. "This just gets weirder." Raeanne mused. "He said Jake has been signed up for a year. But he hasn't accepted any matches. James said he has a particular type and so far hadn't found it." Allison explained. "Which means he probably wouldn't accept me either. Ally, the man could have any woman he wanted. Why the hell would he pick me?" Raeanne asked."Jeremy really did a number on you didn't he? Him and those other pricks!" Allison replied. "Speaking of, you know who, he was waiting outside of the elevator yesterday." Raeanne replied. "What the hell for?" Allison asked. "He said he had given me enough time to get over our little tiff. And he was willing to move forward with our relationship. He said “he would say” when it was over!" Raeanne snorted. "Are you kidding me?" Allison aske
Raeanne wasn't buying it, but there wasn't much she could do to keep him from following them. They walked outside and got in a taxi. Jeremy had followed them and watched them leave. Rae didn't like the grin on his face, but she was just glad to get away from him. The girls arrived home and Rae went to her room. She changed into her pjs. Then she climbed into bed with her laptop. "Ok here goes nothing." She muttered. She went to the website and created an account. Then she signed in and filled out the questionnaire and waited. After about 30 minutes she got an email. "That is weird, it's blank. Oh I see, I have to pick from the list. This is a little different than what Ally did." Raeanne mumbled. A black box popped up and said, "YOU'RE AN ALPHA FEMALE". She clicked on it. "Wow there's only two Alpha's. Jake and Logan. Both are hot, but definitely Jake!" Raeanne replied selecting Jake. "Team Jake for the win!" The next black box that popped up read, "IT'S A MATCH! Jake/Rae". T
"Ah, yes, I sense disbelief?" He asked. "Well, werewolves don't exist. This is just a game." She replied."A game I play very well." Jake replied. "What relief. I thought you were serious. You really had me going." Raeanne laughed. "But on a serious note. Girlfriend? I don't enjoy providing a fantasy for a woman who is with another man." He explained. "Oh ok, that makes sense. Then yes, for the next 89 days I'm yours and only yours." She replied. "Great! Now that that's settled, I'd like to hear about what the past losers did wrong, so I won't repeat their mistakes." He replied. "Umm, well ok. They basically all did the same thing. Boy meets girl. Boy decides girl's weight needs fixing. Boy tries to change girl by diet or exercise. Girl tells boy to take a hike! The end." Raeanne explained. "Wow. Single minded too. One thing I can promise you, you are perfect the way you are. I would never want to change a thing about you. And that's not game talk, that's real talk from me to y
"Just business sweetheart. Nothing for you to worry about." He replied. They talked for another hour about the upcoming week. Rae told him about a couple stories she was reading. Just the basics not the actual content. Then she told him about her work party in two weeks. Afterwards, they hung up and agreed to chat later in the week. But Jake called and texted every day. They talked a lot about their lives past and present. Two weeks had passed and it was time for her work party. She received a text message from Jake. Jake sent a text message. "Just wanted to let you know I wished I was going with you. Totally sucks I can't. In two months it won't be an issue." Raeanne's message. "I'll be thinking of you, wishing you were there." James and Ally were now a couple. Rae had hardly seen her bestie in the last 3 weeks. She still worried, and they seemed intense. Night of the office party was finally here. Rae got dressed and headed to the party. There were quite a bit of people alre
