Chapter 2

(Jace's POV)

“Dude, you've gotta break up with her today” Michael Clearwater, my best friend, said to me.

I kept thinking about the dreams I had been having. It was the same thing all over again. There was this girl; but not my girlfriend, Montana. This girl was much prettier and her presence was almost divine.

I couldn't remember her face clearly but I couldn't forget those eyes which shone brightly like the stars and her long golden...

“Jace! Are you even listening to me, man?” Michael chuckled; his voice ripping through my thoughts.

I nodded.

“So where is it gonna be?” he asked. “How about you take her to dinner, then end it with her?”

I was about to refuse the idea of dinner when I spotted her coming. Micheal did too and made a face.

“I'll see you later,” he said to me and left the two of us alone.

“What did he want?” Montana asked.

I chuckled.

“He's my best friend Mo. After tonight, he's going to be my Beta. I don't think he needs any reason to talk to me.”

She flipped her hair and moved closer to me, wrapping her arms around my neck.

“Speaking of tonight, I think we should celebrate early” She smirked and leaned in in for a kiss.

I turned my head making the kiss land on my cheek. She pulled back.

“What's wrong?” she asked.

“Mo, we need to talk” I replied.

“Okay. But can't it wait? I've got no panties on” she said, whispering the last part.

I stepped away from her.

“I'm serious Montana” I repeated.

She collected herself and nodded.

“I'm all ears.”

I exhaled.

“I've been doing a lot of thinking about us and I've decided, it's best to stop goofing around.”

I paused to take a look at her. She didn't seem to catch on because she looked calm.

I exhaled again.

“I'm breaking up with you” I announced.

I watched her eyebrows furrow.

“We're supposed to get married Jace. My parents handed over being Alpha and Luna to your parents in exchange for us to get married.”

“I know that Mo but I—”

“So what the hell Jace?!” she yelled.

“Don't raise your voice at me!” I growled in reply.

She stepped back.

“It's over between us Montana. Just please, stay away from me” I said more calmly now and walked away.

“You actually did it?” Michael asked for the umpteenth time.

I chucked and nodded.

“I'm so proud of you” he chuckled and playfully punched me.

I'm about to say something when an intoxicating smell of lavender and rose filled my nostrils.

“Well, we better get going if we want this party to come off” he announced getting up.

He couldn't smell it.

“Go ahead. I'll be right back” I said, yanking his coffee out of his hands.

I followed the scent as it invaded my senses and the next thing I knew, a five foot six figure crushed hard into me. She stumbled back and I wrapped my arms around her waist, preventing her from falling. I waited for her to look up but she just kept staring at my shirt.

“I'm so, so, so very sorry. I wasn't looking” Her sweet voice filled my ears, causing my wolf to purr in delight.

I hadn't noticed her before and I had been going to this school even after I'd graduated four years ago.

Damm, she was beautiful, and she definitely wasn't like any of the other girls I'd been with. She seemed different.

“Mate, mate, mate!” Zade my inner wolf, began to chant.

She's a werewolf? How come she's not a part of my pack?

“No, I should be the one apologizing. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been more careful” I said.

Then it hit me. Since when did I start apologizing? And much more when it wasn't my fault?

I felt something warm drip down my chest and I realized she'd spilled the coffee all over my shirt and was now trying to get it off. I tried to tell her it would only get worse but she was so caught up in trying to make it better she didn't hear me.

“Mate!” my wolf suddenly growled with force and I grabbed her arms, causing her to look at me.

I examined her face. How hadn't I noticed such beauty in this school? Was she new? Did she just transfer here?

She suddenly flinched, pulling away from me. I felt Zade whimper. He'd never done that.

“What is it?” I asked the girl.

“Sorry about your shirt but I have to go” she murmured and ran off.

I just stared after her as Zade whimpered more. I growled silently to shut him up and turned to walk away when a wave of realization hit me.

She was the girl in my dreams!
