A loud clunk against my window woke me from my restless slumber. I jolted upright and shuffled toward the window so that I could see what was going on.

“You woke her up, dummy!” A girl who looked about ten years old yelled at her young companion, a boy with dark waves of hair, from below my window.

The little boy was chasing after his foam football, which was most likely what hit my window and caused the disturbance. At least my window did not kill a bird, I thought to myself

I smiled at the two children before stepping away from the window to let them continue with their games, but a familiar voice made me peek back down at them. Sergio had walked out of the house and was now talking to the two youngsters, although I could not decipher what they were saying. All I could focus on was the way his dark hair seemed to reflect the sun beams and the movement of his muscles beneath his tight-fitting shirt. Suddenly

    “What were you doing walking alone at night?” He took a step closer to me and folded his arms across his broad chest.“Why does it matter?” I muttered in disgust, trying to act like I could not stand his possessive questions.“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because we are at war with a superior species of hybrids that roam the woods at night.” His snarled and took another step closer to me, so that we were only a few feet apart.“You can’t even shift. You would never be able to put up a fight against anything!” I knew he was losing his tempter, and fast.Suddenly, an idea came to me. “Well then teach me to fight.”He glanced at me, as if wondering if I was serious.“Teach me to fight against one of them. It makes since because, apparently, I am at some great risk.” I gestured to the

    I never liked going to parties. But tonight, I made an exception. My best friend pulled me through the crowded room with astonishing determination, navigating through the sea of party-goers. I, on the other hand, threw my head back in unattractive laughter and enjoyed the ride. Eventually, we reached our destination: the refreshment table. Faith and I had already visited the booze-station thrice before, and there was no end in sight. A variety of bubbling wines and dark-colored liquor lined the table, an impressive display that promised intoxication. But no one seemed to mind. Not even the lightest of light-weights. We were werewolves, after all. Werewolves supposedly possessed immunity to the effects of alcohol, at least to some degree. But, at the moment, I seriously doubted the fact. My best friend, Faith, swayed drunkenly as she reached for another glass. It was the Summer Solstice. The o

    Fate Mates were an extremely rare phenomena. Typically, two werewolves fell in love and then decided to declare themselves mates, either through marriage or another means. But the love bond of a Fate Mate gives the werewolves no choice in the matter. I’d heard it described in stories and fairytales. When you find your fate mate, and you look at the person for the first time, the entire world stops. The one thing that keeps you alive is that person. And separation from that person would mean losing a part of yourself. Apparently, after a few months of blissful love, something went terribly wrong with Alpha Sergio’s mate. Nobody outside of the Black River Pack knew exactly what happened, but the young woman died. Every pack felt the impact of her death, but none of us could begin to imagine the despair that Alpha Sergio felt. I’d heard stories that he went away for months, secluding himself from the rest of his pack. A girl in my graduatin

    I don’t know how long I stood there in silence, with every eye in the room trained on me, before, suddenly, a pair of rough hands grabbed my arm. I let out a small shout of surprise as nails dug into my skin.It was my brother, Jeremy, whose face was distorted in anger as he tried pulling me away from Alpha Sergio. But before Jeremy could get me far, a menacing growl erupted from Alpha Sergio and, in an instant, Sergio wrenched Jeremy away from me.Now, Sergio stood in-between my brother and I, shielding me from my brother’s fierce, brown gaze. Sergio’s hand lightly grazed my arm, sending an electrifying chill down my back.Jeremy stared at me for a second, looking slightly betrayed, as if I had a choice in Alpha Sergio choosing me. The look he gave me made my insides twist and I attempted to walk around Sergio to reach Jeremy, but Sergio gave me a dark look, and held me back with a shaking hand.

    I woke up to the sun creeping in from the window, extending across the bed and warming me up after a cold night’s sleep.I groggily opened my eyes and looked around, and, at first, a feeling of panic arose inside of me as I took in my new surroundings, but then the previous night’s events caught up to me and I calmed down.The room was large, with an off-white theme and black furniture. The bed I was lying on was huge and nicely decorated, with great pillows and blankets surrounding me like one great cushion.Glancing across the room, I saw a girl with long, brown curly hair watching me intently, a small smile on her face as I woke up, “Great! You are awake… I will go tell Sergio.”I must have looked confused because she laughed slightly, “I am Sophia, Alpha Sergio’s little sister and greatest advisor.”I nodded slightly, “Er

    “Iris,” his husky voice made me blush slightly, since no one really called me Iris other than my dad. I opened my mouth to tell him to just call me Ris, but my throat caught and I quickly closed it once again. He gave me a hard look when I said nothing, his intimidating gaze sweeping down my body as if he was inspecting me. “How old are you?” He asked in a cold voice, his tone surprising me. “I’m eighteen…” I said quietly, unsure of how he would react to my youth. Sergio’s eyes hardened slightly when I spoke, and I was unsure if it was because of my reply, or just my voice.He looked almost ashamed of himself and I couldn’t help from wonder his age. To me, he looked like he was in his twenties, but looks could deceive. Sergio took a few steps closer to me, and I could feel the space between us closing, making my heart skip rapidly. But before the distance between us clos

    “Um no… well, not at will,” I restated, trying to make myself sound less pathetic. “It sort of happens randomly. Less and less as I’ve gotten older.”Sophia laughed, but there was nothing malicious in the sound. “That’s insane! Does Sergio know?”I grimaced. “I doubt it. And I’d like to keep it that way. Don’t want to give him another reason to hate me.” I tried to act like it was no big deal, and Sophia seemed taken by my façade.She shrugged. “To be honest, I think he is scared of you. He thinks that there is something wrong with him because he found another mate right after his last one died.” Before I could say anything else about the subject, she smiled. “You want me to help you pack for your trip tonight?”“I don’t have anything to pack.” I failed to hide

    I then realized that tears were streaming down my face rapidly as I gasped for air, “They j-jumped in front of the c-car and…” I tried to explain what happened, but I couldn’t get the words out as I shook from my sobbing.“Shhh,” he hushed me in a soft voice, one I had not heard from him before, “Let’s get you out of here.”“It’s my seatbelt. It’s stuck,” I began to blunder with the restraint again, but he reached inside the car and placed a hand on mine.“That’s okay,” he murmured, “Place your hands on the roof and brace yourself.”I did as I was told, and he reached across me, his arm wrapping around my waist as he unfastened the seatbelt with ease. Momentarily, I was suspended in the air, and then, in one fluid motion, he caught me with one arm and lifted me out of the car with ease.

    A boy sitting next to Christina laughed slightly at my comment but said nothing; instead, he inspected me with narrowed eyes.“You know…” he shoved a piece of chicken that had just been brought out into his mouth, “you kind of look like her.”Instantly, the mood around the table changed and everyone tensed up. Sophia glanced at me slightly before biting her lip and looking away.“Like who?” apparently, it was a dumb question, because Christina slammed her silverware against her plate, causing the glass to shatter.Christina glared at me, “Sarah. Alpha’s true mate. And don’t flatter yourself, because you are nothing like her. You are never going to be her, so don’t even try.”She turned to the boy who was sitting next to her, “And you, John, how dare you compare this worthless transfer to my sister.&rdq

    “No, they have not reached our region yet. None of our region’s four packs have been affected. The Black Raven Pack is probably the only one that knows about this anyways…” he muttered and relief flooded me.“Dammit Iris,” he growled furiously, “Now that man knows you are my mate.” That was the first time he had actually claimed me as his mate.I was going to ask him why that mattered, but figured that that would just make him more furious with me. He already seemed to think that I was to blame for all of this.“And why were you dancing with him anyways?” He finally glanced at me with his piercing blue eyes.“I could ask you the same question about that blonde that was clinging to you!” I shouted, finally having had enough of his accusations.To my surprise, Sergio smirked slightly as he sped down the windin

    “We are stopping here,” Sergio told me as he pulled in to a parking lot for a large bar in what seemed like the middle of nowhere.I was still exhausted from the night before, so I had been trying to sleep on the way back to the pack house. Sergio and I had hardly spoken all morning, so it was not hard to drift away. I was actually becoming quite comfortable in the silence.“Why?” I groaned slightly as I looked out of the window at the bustling saloon. It was only six o’clock yet people were spilling out of its doors.“I need to do something. It will only take an hour,” he assured me as he slid out of the car with ease and began to walk to the door.I stepped out of the car, happy to finally stretch my legs once more, and speed-walked over to Sergio so that I could walk in with him.To my surprise, when we reached the entrance, Sergio hel

    “I already told you,” he growled, “We may not be mates, but my wolf believes that we are.” Again, he reminded me that we are not even mates and that this entire situation is a mistake.“I am glad we are not. I always imagined my mate to be so much more than you…” I spoke through gritted teeth before turning away from him.I caught sight of Sergio’s face before I turned around though. His features were hardened and he looked enraged at my words and disrespect, but there was also a wave of hurt that showed briefly in his eyes.Before I could get far from him, an exotic man stepped out of his room. His eyes were golden as he looked between Sergio and me, probably wondering why we were being so loud.I was about to apologize to him for the disturbance, but before I could he smiled knowingly, “An Alpha and his Luna.”“

    In that moment, I wished that I could spontaneously combust into flames so that I would not have to deal with the embarrassment that was sure to come.Sergio carried on his phone conversation as he walked in to the hotel room, completely oblivious to me standing in the center with only a towel wrapped around me, “Tell Raegan to take care of it until I-“He stopped talking the second his eyes landed on me, and instantly every muscle in his body stiffened at the sight.I could vaguely hear somebody on the other line say something, but Sergio hung up after a second. His eyes seemed to turn a shade darker than before and his broad body began to shake slightly, as if he were about to explode.I wanted to say something, but I could hardly breathe, let alone speak at the moment.Sergio was breathing heavily as he slowly turned away from me, both of his hands balled up in to

    Suddenly, a wolf appeared on the side of the road and déjà vu hit me as I gasped, “Look out!”He smiled smoothly and slowly returned his eyes to the road, but not before easily deviating out of the way of the wolf.“What is your problem?” I was incensed that he was messing around so recklessly, “We almost wrecked again!”“Relax,” he rolled his eyes, “That was Rafael.” Although he was acting carefree, I could sense a hint of annoyance radiating off of him because of my tone.Somehow, his voice made me feel like a child and want to shrink back, “Oh…”However, he did slow down to a reasonable speed.We rode in silence for what seemed like forever, and I longed for him to turn on the radio or something to fill the vacant silence.The muteness began to

    “Ouch!” I complained loudly as the same doctor, the woman with the gray eyes, wrapped up my stomach and ribcage in a gauze that made me look like a mummy.“Sorry, sorry,” she, whom I learned was named Trudy, muttered as she busily finished treating me back at the pack house in the doctor’s wing.The second we had arrived back at the pack house, Sergio ordered for somebody to take me up to the doctor’s wing so that I would be ready to depart for the witch doctor that evening. The accident had not phased Sergio’s plans of leaving that night to discover whether or not we should be mates.Trudy did a few more tests on me before patting my leg and taking off her gloves, “There you go, dear. You are all set. Remember to take some aspirin if you start to hurt anywhere.”I smiled at her gratefully, “Thank you, do you know-“
