Chapter 1- The end is the beginning

 Alexandria Salvatore POV

 It was my birthday, I was in the kitchen cleaning up after the small party that my husband and his mother, father and younger sister Leila surprised me with. Leila was our biggest supporter, you might say, we had a rough start where both our families didn’t really approve of our relationship, she was just 17 and thought life is a romantic novel. Life was good and I finally had a loving family surrounding me and it was about to get better and bigg

3 years later

Today is my birthday I'm turning 25. I get ready for work as usual… my days are all the same now, just surviving with one goal on mind ... revenge, but little that I knew, my life was about to take yet another turn... how fucked up can my life really be.

I was running late this morning as I slept in, I got to bed late last night. It was always like that the night before my birthday and the few nights after, I cry all night remembering what I've lost, I hate my birthday and always will. 

I left the apartment looking like a mess, I was rushing, crossing the street like I was running for my life, when a car almost hit me 

"watch where you're going you psycho " the angry driver yelled. 

He had every right to be angry and I probably did look like a psycho, but I wasn’t in the mood so I just flipped him the middle finger anyway and shouted

 "WELL FUCK YOU KEN DOLL" he had blond hair and blue eyes and looked like a pretty boy.

 I continued running to the building across the street where I work, I barely made it in time. 

I might have anger issues... Oops.

Derek Stronghold POV  

      

"WELL FUCK YOU KEN DOLL ", my eyes shoot up from my phone. That voice, my wolf perked up. I had to see her face for some reason but she was running across the street I only got to see her back. 

"What the fuck did she just call me" Dean, my beta and younger brother, snarled. Only then I registered what just happened, I was laughing to hard to answer.

"Really Derek" he said annoyed as he pulled in the parking garage. 

"What can I say, she wasn't wrong pretty boy" I said laughing but my wolf was almost howling now so I became agitated and on high alert. 

We entered the elevator and Dean noticed the change in my attitude, 

"What’s wrong? You were laughing just a minute ago" Dean said. 

"I don't know man; Rex is on high alert and howling so loud it's giving me a headache. But its not something dangerous, it’s something else I can't figure it out ". 

DING! We arrived to our floor; I was keeping my eyes shut rubbing my temple from the headache Rex is giving me, all of a sudden it hit me, the sweetest most intoxicating scent I ever smelled, it smells like...heaven. 

"Shit" I heard the faintest whisper if I wasn't a werewolf and an alpha I wouldn't have heard it, I looked up, our eyes locked before she quickly looked away, it was her... the girl Dean almost ran over, the girl with the heavenly scent and a sailor's mouth ... my MATE. 

She had a dark shiny hair that flowed on her back and the most gorgeous brown eyes that went perfectly with her slightly tanned skin, she was wearing a buttoned white shirt and I couldn’t really see the rest as she was standing behind the reception high desk, she looked a bit disheveled like she got ready in a hurry. 

"What the hell" Dean said, and started walking toward her. 

"Hello" he said staring at her but she didn't even raise her eyes from the papers on her desk. I need to see those gorgeous eyes again. 

"Hey I'm talking to you" Dean said raising his voice and talking in a tone that I didn't appreciate. 

"stand down Dean before I punch your fucking face and you better stop staring at her like that or I'll rip your eyes out" I growled through mind link, he stiffened and looked at me confused. 

Another girl came greeting us " Mr. Stronghold, welcome, please come with me" and without asking any questions she leads us to the office, " Mr. Simon will be right there" the girl says.

Now that we are alone in the office Dean mind link me, we usually do that when we are among humans because we can't risk anyone over hearing us. 

"What was that? Don't tell me you want to get with her, she is human" he objected through mind link. 

Yes, she is a human but she is the mate that I was waiting for for 10 fucking years. I barely contained a growl to the way he was talking about her but I can’t make a scene here. 

"Shut your fucking mouth right now before I shut you up forever. I'll explain later" I mind linked. He looked at me more confused, then shocked 

"Is she…" he trailed off. 

"Yes, your Luna", 

he sighed dramatically saying "Finally".
