2 " Wolf in Heat!"

She had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. Almond shaped, sea green in colour, they seemed to pull him in like a black hole,only they weren't black. Her hair was brown, matched with her skin. They seemed to be shining. And her teeth, they were glittering, probably the only feature she got from her mum.

While Sylvia was a 5 out of 10 figure, her daughter was an 11. The white dress she had on, stuck to her body, her waist was thin, curving into a very visible hipline. That hipline that was doing things to Chase that he had never imagined.

The room suddenly felt hot. Chase swallowed as he felt a sudden rush of blood into region way lower than his abdomen. His wolf wasn't helping matters, he was throwing a fit within. Chase was doing a whole lot of work to keep him inside.

" Tyga, stop" Chase said in his mind.

" Let me out. She's our mate, let me out" Tyga protested.

" No. We're in public, we can't. Listen to me" Chase thought sternly.

It was only then that Tyga relaxed but the sudden erection Chase was having remained.

Luckily, he had put on free pants.

" Chase, meet your stepsister" Sylvia's voice drew Chase back to reality.

Stepsister!

She was his mate!

" Hi! I'm Anastasia, but I'd choose Ana anytime anyday" she said with a very broad smile.

Her voice was angelic, not high pitched like a mother, more of a soft seduction whisper. And her smile… Chase's heart was thumping in his chest.

He was dumbstruck, by her beauty, by the fact that his stepsister was his mate and by the hard-on he was trying so bad to hide that he totally forgot he was supposed to talk.

" Uhh… It's nice to meet you Chase" Ana tried again.

But Chase was faraway.

His mind was working furiously and his body seemed to be melting from the brusque heat that had emerged from nowhere.

So this is what it felt like to be a wolf in heat?

Anastasia frowned. She turned to look at her mother and Ron. None seemed to understand the battle Chase was dealing with.

" Chase…" Ron called " You okay son?"

Chase shook his head to clear his mind as it dawned on him that he was creating a scene.

" I… uhh… yes, yes I'm fine" he stuttered.

And as abruptly as he had appeared, Chase turned and walked away from them.

Anastasia frowned.

" What was that?" She said.

" Don't be bothered by Chase, he's probably just… he's probably just tired or something " Ron explained in a bid to cover up Chase's behavior.

" Yes, he'll come around " Sylvia added patting Ana's shoulders lightly.

Anastasia shrugged and nodded at them, her cheerful smile returning to her face.

Minutes passed and Chase had downed two shots of vodka. Tyga was really messing with him today.

Was this how everyone felt on meeting their mates?

" Tyga, you're giving me a hard time" Chase thought.

" You just walked away from our mate. You didn't even talk to her, what was that for?"

" You gave me no breathing space. What was I supposed to say?"

" Tell her she's your mate, what else?"

Chase didn't reply.

He had been staring at her for so long but he noticed nothing. Either she was way too good at hiding this mate pull.

Or she couldn't feel it.

Was there a mistake somewhere?

She was his stepsister afterall. The moon goddess knew everything. She knew his mother would unfortunately pass away and his father would move on after 15 years and marry Sylvia and Anastasia would be his stepsister. So how was she his mate?

Was that why she couldn't feel it?

Chase's head was spinning. He gulped down another glass of vodka, the alcohol burning through his chest.

His eyes scanned the room and fell on her. She was talking with a group of people and the smile she had on her face was enchanting. Something funny was said making her laugh, her teeth sparkled and her eyes twinkled in ecstacy.

Damn! She was beautiful! Chase thought.

He watched her every move for a greater part of the night, switching positions everytime she moved to another suitable one. She had probably noticed him and probably already thought he was creepy.

Who stared at a stepsister they just met like that?

And he was right.

Chase and Ana's gaze locked twice and the third time, she was walking up to him. Chase's heartbeat accelerated like a highschool teenager when approaching a big crush.

Only he was the one being approached

" Chase…" her sonorous voice drifted into his ears.

" Did I do or say something wrong? You haven't said anything and you have been staring at me for over an hour with that scowl etched on your face"

Tyga barely let Chase take a breath before he began with his tantrum.

" Mate, let me out!"

If one looked carefully at Chase, the veins popping from his neck and hands would be very visible.

He was very trained in fighting and winning battles against other wolves but when it came to his wolf, he barely knew the basics. There had never been in situations like this. Tyga was usually very obedient, why did Ana make him so enraged?

If he was going through all of these, she was supposed to be going through same. But she wasn't.

She most definitely would not have an inner battle against her wolf and still be able to smile like that?

" Tyga, she can't feel the bond"

Tyga mellowed down.

" What?"

" She can't feel the bond"

There was silence in Chase's mind. He could feel the burning stare of Ana's alluring eyes.

Then Tyga growled lowly.

" I can't smell her wolf"

And then it dawned on Chase.

" You don't have your wolf?"
