"Why is he here?"  I demanded, shooting a glare at my parents.  

"He came to meet us. After all, we will be family soon." My mother responded as if it was that easy to comprehend.

How could she easily accept some stranger into our home like it was no big deal?

"Why are you being so rude?"  My mother asked, narrowing her gaze. "Travis went out of his way to come here and you're treating him like that."

"Of course I am!"  How could she be siding with him over me?  I was her daughter!  "I never agreed to being his mate."

A giggle escaped my mother's lips, "Sweetie, you know that you don't get a choice in this. This is who the moon goddess chose for you and you should be thankful."

"Thankful...." I should be thankful?  Isn't it great that I was being forced onto someone and was about to get out of her hair? "What exactly am I supposed to be thankful for?"

"Marissa!" My mother snapped, beginning to lose her composure. "How can you even talk like this in front of your mate?"

My mate, my mate, my mate.  That seemed to be the only thing my mother had an interest in. Forget the fact that the guy was basically a stranger, and if he belonged to another pack, then it would be see you later for me. How could she not realize the problem here?

"Mrs. Holland, it's okay." Oh, the guy was sucking up now."I shouldn't have shown up unannounced like this. Of course, Marissa would be flustered by it."

"You bet your ass I would!" I growled.  Who was he trying to fool exactly?

"Marissa!" Oh good, my mother's parenting voice was coming out. Fantastic. " Travis do excuse her, usually she isn't this out of control. "

"Who are you kidding?" I grumbled, crossing my arms. Of course, I was always this rebellious. This was absolutely nothing new.

"Mrs. Holland, would you mind giving me and Marissa a minute?" Travis asked, smiling politely.

"Of course." My mother's face was blushing. It was actually blushing!

I watched as she sauntered out of the room. Yes, she actually sauntered like she was a teenage girl all over again, leaving me and the devil alone.

"So, why did you come here?" I snapped.

"Of course I came here to find my mate." Travis' voice came out smooth as butter.  "You escaped rather fast last night."

"I never agreed to accepting you." I pointed out.  He wasn't going to win that easily with me, and I wasn't going down without a fight. Even if his appeal was strong.

Smiling, he began leaning towards me, "You know that you can't fight it." His husky voice sent shivers of delight through my body and awakened Chloe, who had been missing in action.

"Wanna bet?" Two could play in this game. If he wanted to try going for seduction, then I would do it too!

"Are you challenging me, Marissa?" Oh?  Was he getting mad? Good.

Smiling sweetly, I grabbed hold of his collar, "Do you really want to play these games with me?"

He didn't know me, nor did he know what I was capable of, and if he wanted to find out, then I was more than willing to play along. After all, my stubbornness was not something to take lightly.

"Sure." Travis' eyes had begun to darken again as I leaned in closer.  "If you think that you can keep up."

"Of course I can." I cooed.  All I had to do was remain defiant to the very end and eventually he would give up, right?

"Alright then, let's bet on it, Marissa." Travis stuck his hand out, smiling ruefully, and man, that smile was amazing.

"Lets." 

We sealed the deal and began our bet of wills, shaking on it.There was absolutely no way that I would allow him to take me down.  And if he thought that he could defeat me, he was in for a rude awakening.

After that, Travis left in a hurry, making up some excuse about having work to do, leaving it just me and my mom.

"He was a nice guy." My mother cooed, placing a hand on her cheek. "You lucked out, Rissa."

Did I really though? I didn't think so.  "Can we just not talk about this?" I didn't want to continue to watch my mother gush like a teenager about my 'mate.'  It was really starting to creep me out.

"Why are you so against this?" My mother demanded.  Oh goody, she was getting angry for the guy. 

"Because I never signed up to have a mate." Was it that hard for her to understand?

"When I met your father, it was an explosive experience. I know you felt it with Travis, so why are you acting so sour? " She wasn't going to give up, was she?

"I'm going out."  I was over this and I didn't have to stick around and continue dealing with it.

"Marissa!" My mother called after me as i bolted out of the door. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"

Where was I going?  I didn't have any clue myself, I just knew that I couldn't put up with my mother's talk about mates and happiness anymore. It was grating on the nerves and I was already in a bad enough mood that that man had shown up at my home.  I mean, why the hell would he even do that?

Growling, I picked up my pace and began making my way towards the woods.  Maybe if I went wolf and ran some it would help me clear my head, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, right?

Plan set, it was time to find a nice, secluded space so I could strip and then go through the transformation process without anyone spotting me. Again, if I was found out the world would end and we just didn't want that.

I managed to find a nice place in the middle of the woods with a brook and and a fallen tree that I could hide my clothes underneath.  After stripping off every bit of clothing that was on my body, I folded it up nicely and then stretched.

With nothing else hindering me, it was time to change.

    After spending most of the night running through the woods, Monday came much too early and when that alarm clock broke me from my sleep I was ready to go 50 shades of insane on the entire world.I hadn't been able to sleep well due to the fact my brain was filled with images of Travis. As much as I wanted to deny it, the man had possessed some part of me and I couldn't get him to go away.Sighing I pushed my hair out of my face before getting up. It was the first day back to school after Spring vacation and I found myself wondering....why the hell was I even bothering to attend college?Because you want to try to be normal, that's why, I told myself as I quickly ran a brush through my hair and changed."Marissa are you awake?"

    This could not possibly be happening right about now. How was it possible that this man was my English teacher? "Is he seriously the teacher?" Amanda who happened to be sitting next to me asked."Why are you asking me?" She was seeing exactly what I was seeing, of course he was the teacher.As if sensing my unease Travis' eyes immediately found their way to me and I swear to god just a look from him sent shivers throughout my entire body."Is he smiling at you?" Amanda asked.She was eyeing me suspiciously and I was pretty sure that meant she had begun to catch on.I needed to distract her from me and soon.

    As soon as the bell rang indicating that class was over for the day, you bet your ass I hauled tail out of there and did not bother looking back at all. The day had been much too long and stressful, and I had spent most of it acting like a ninja in the hallways to make sure I didn't run into that Travis.Though everyone had been looking at me like I was insane the entire time, I truly didn't care. I was bond determined to not let that man find me and if it left me looking like a complete fool so be it."Marissa!" Shit, he found me!Not turning I pretended that I hadn't heard him. If I don't pay him attention he can't determine that I heard right?"I know you heard me!" He called as the sound of footsteps grew closer."I didn't." I called, damnit! Why did I bother responding?"You didn't yet you're responding!" He laughed while finally catching up.Immediately I could smell that intoxicating scent of his

    After a quick shower and change I headed downstairs to find my parents hanging out in the kitchen talking animatedly. Of course they would be super excited that Melanie was coming home. Melanie after all was the golden child, graduated from high school a year early, went to medical school to become a well known doctor, and even joined the same pack as my parents. I guess you could say where I was the disappointment, my sister was the pride and joy."Marissa." My mother called the minute she spotted me. "I just got off the phone with Melanie, she will be in early tomorrow morning. She wants you to go pick her up from the airport."Why me? My parents were just as capable of picking her up as I was."Sorry, I have class tomorrow morning." It was a lie, but how were they to know?"Class?" My dad asked narrowing his eyes. "I thought you didn't have classes on Tuesdays.""It is a special elective th

    Covered in sweat and dirt I leaned back on my heels. Burying the rogue that I had killed had turned out to be a bigger pain than I thought it would. The guy was huge, I mean HUGE, and burying him in wolf form had taken a lot of digging.Sighing I sat back and looked up to the starry sky above, it had gotten pretty late out and the moon was high in the sky."Fuck." I huffed collapsing on the ground.My parents were probably freaking out right about now given the fact I hadn't come home yet. How could I explain my disheveled form to them when I arrived? When the rogue attacked the other night I hadn't bothered telling my parents about it, because frankly I didn't think it was that big of a deal. But now that a second had made an appearance there wasn't any keeping this a secret.Getting up I brushed what dirt I could off my body and began making my way slowly home, I need to think of what to tell my parents when I

    Kicking a rock around I tried to figure out exactly where it was that I could go for the evening.Staying with Amanda was completely out of the question as her parents would harass me to go back home. Staying in the park for the night was a possible option, but I didn't know if another rogue would appear or not.As I continued to walk the sound of an engine could be heard driving up behind me. Turning I held a hand over my eyes to block the harsh light that was beaming off the vehicles headlights trying to see who the ass hole that was trying to blind me was."What the hell do you think you're doing?" I growled leaning into the passenger window.The smell of pine and cedar immediately attacked my nose as I took a deep breath."Coming to see what my silly mate is doing roaming around late at night." Came Travis' delicious voice."Who is your mate?" I asked leaning my elbows on the windowsill. "I never agreed to that."

    "Travis we have company." I called to the wolf Travis that was still pinning the dead rogue to the ground. If we weren't in such a messy situation I would actually take appreciation in the dark brown wolf that was staring at me with golden eyes.Sighing I realized that by this point in the game I didn't have a choice but to change, it would be quicker to defeat the last three rogues in wolf form compared to human. Cursing under my breath I allowed Travis to hold the wolves at bay as I raced off to change in peace.Yanking off my clothes I began the process feeling my bones begin to contort and reshape entirely as Chloe began pacing excitedly in my head. She had been wanting in on the action and was thrilled that I was finally allowing her to have the reigns.'I got this,' Chloe said happily as the transformation process finished and I let out a howl.Dashing forward I luxuriated in the feel of my muscles working to move quickly and smoot

    "Mmmmmmm Marissa." Travis's husky voice whispered in my ear as his warm mouth nipped at my earlobe sending a shiver of pleasure through me."Travis." I moaned as his hands began working their way underneath my shirt."I want you." Travis growled as his hands cupped my flesh mounds and began kneading."You can have me." I moaned too turned on to keep calm.Jumping up in bed I looked around quickly. What the hell was that just now? Was I serioulsy just having a wet dream about Travis?Shaking my head I tried to clear the last bit of haze from sleep and passion from my mind. These type of dreams were something I ABSOLUTELY could not be having, otherwise, I dreaded the consequences.Looking at the clock I realized it was only four in the morning, there were still three hours left before I had to pretend to go to my school club to avoid having to go pick my sister up from the airport.

I managed to squeak out as everyone began to move towards the stage to get a place to watch. "I won't go back on my word. Not anymore. "Even if I was fucking terrified, it didn't mean that I was going to leave Travis hanging like I always did in the past. I owed him this and so much more."I'm okay." I said more strongly.

    "You look beautiful." Travis murmured, coming up behind me. "I almost don't want to share you with the world."Through the mirror in front of me, I caught Travis' eyes turning a dangerous shade of gold. It was clear that his mind was quickly heading to the gutter, and if this continued, we would never leave the room."Party and marking." I reminded him while wriggling free enough to turn and look into his eyes. "After that, you can do whatever you want to me.""Fine." Travis huffed in frustration. "I'm wishing we hadn't promised to do the marking in front of the world.""Too late for that." I whispered, snaking my ar

    "How about this one?" Kim beamed, holding up a short red dress with a dipping neckline.This was probably the tenth or eleventh dress that she had shown to me. However, each one was way too revealing, and Kim wasn't accepting that I didn't want to show a ton of skin."Maybe something a bit more conservative." I tried, standing and heading towards the rack that she was rummaging through.While busying myself, I searched until I found a black lace dress with a dark blue underlay. The neckline was a v-neck, but it didn't dip anywhere near as much as the ones Kim was trying to force me into."How about this?" I said, pul

    "Timothy and I grew up in a small village just on the outskirts of a small town called Washua." Thomas began keeping his voice neutral. "We were a small pack of wolves that specialized in raising the ultimate trackers."Just from those simple words, I could already understand where this story was going to go. No one liked trackers. They were looked down on in the wolf community, because they didn't take sides with anyone and provided their skills to the highest bidders."If memory serves me correctly, it happened late one winter night, right after my parents received a large sum of money to track down this big-shot alpha that was beginning to dwell in corrupt deeds."

    After the meeting, Travis and I waited with Thomas as everyone left the room. For the most part, all involved were onboard with the mission to scout the areas that were marked on the maps, while Thomas and Travis personally worked towards tracking the dark mage.One thing that I found odd was that Travis didn't openly discuss in detail the plans for the tracking. From the way he spoke and his expression, I had a feeling that there was quite a bit he was hiding.Making mental note to ask him later, I tensed as Gregory and Davison made their way towards us."Uncle." Travis said stifflyas Davison narrowed his gaze on him. "Is there something you'd like to say that you couldn't say during

    "Are you sure I should be present for this?" I asked Travis as we stopped in front of the door of the meeting room."You're my future Luna; of course you should." Travis assured me, kissing the top of my head. "Now come on, we've made them wait long enough.""Right."Sucking in a deep breath, I waited as Travis opened the door that was separating us from the rest of Travis' pack higher ups.Squaring my shoulders, I walked in and waited, taking in all the gazes that instantly fell on me. Though I fully expected hostility from Travis' beta Chris, I didn't expect it from almost everyone sitting at the table, aside from

    Too bright of sun disturbed my dreamless sleep, drawing me to reality where my entire body was aching.Wincing, I opened my eyes and glared at the damned sun. I wanted to sleep a little longer, but the damn thing decided that it wasn't in the cards.Grumbling to myself, I turned over to find Travis still fast asleep."Lazy." I mumbled, lifting a hand and poking the tip of his nose, earning myself a low growl.Reaching out, Travis wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close against him as he nuzzled my neck, nipping it lightly.Shiverin

    Lifting a hand, I wiped steam away from the mirror in front of me so that I could see my reflection. The woman staring back at me wasn't the girl that I remembered before my life turned totally upside down from meeting Travis.Her blue eyes stared back into mine with less hatred, and her features were softer. She seemed more open and more friendly. Nothing like the Marissa I'd been only three weeks before.Letting out a breath, I tossed my hair behind my shoulder and tilted my head to the side so I could see my neck better. Fixing my eyes on my mark spot, I couldn't help but wonder what Travis' mark would look like there.Immediately, I could feel a tingle between my thighs just from the tho

    From behind me, I could feel the shock roll through Travis. It was clear that he didn't expect me to say those words and from the tension I could feel building within him, I knew that I was going to get jumped once we were alone.I didn't know where that came from or why I actually didn't feel opposed to it at all anymore, but I would figure that out later. For now I needed to appease my parents."Are both of you telling the truth?" My father asked remaining unconvinced. "I don't want to hear spouted bullshit.""Do you think I would joke about something like this?" I asked, my annoyance beginning to rise. "Me of all people."
