1: "Don't touch her."

"Come on, Mitz. We have to leave now!" My brother, Toby, shouted from downstairs.

"I'm here!" I shouted, running down the stairs.

"Quick, sit and eat your breakfast." My mom ordered. "You're gonna make your brother late for work again. He will end up losing his job.. seriously..."

"I'm so sorry. I slept in.." i whispered, taking a big bite from the sandwich.

Toby chuckled. "Chill mom. I will not lose my job anytime soon. I'm the Alpha's right hand." He said, raising his eyebrow with pride. I laughed at his action.

"Pfft, show off..." mom rolled her eyes.

"But seriously, Mitz, stop staying up late every night." Toby said to me, he set his elbow on the table and resting his head on his fist, gazing at me. "You really don't have to study that hard. You're a straight A student in school for God's sake."

"Well, i still have to study." I answered, finishing the sandwich. Otherwise, what else should i be doing? I’ve got nothing else to offer to this pack. But obviously. I didn’t say to to Toby. "I'm done. Let's go.."

I said bye to mom and walked out the house with Toby. We got into Toby's jeep and he started to drive.

My school is only 5 minutes away from our house. We arrived in no time. I can even walk every morning to school so that Toby would not have to wait for me and be late for work, but he insisted of taking me to school every morning.

He said and i quote, “like the attention girls in my school give him everytime he comes to pick me up and drop me off”. Well, that's not really surprising. 

He is tall, tanned, and very muscular. He is 26 and still hasn't found his mate. Also, he is the leader of The Quill warrior, which somehow makes him even more attractive. This pact doesn't have a Beta. So, we consider the head of the Quill Warrior as the Beta of this pack. Only the strongest and the best warrior can work as a Quill warrior.

We are in Quilluet Pack, the strongest, biggest, and oldest pack in the world. There are about 12.000 werewolves living in Quilluet's teritory. There are so many strong warriors from this pack, including our Alpha, Alpha Eaton Flynn. He is known as the strongest alpha in the world now. He took over this pack when he was only 16 years old. He is very attractive too......well at least that's what i heard. 

To be honest with you, i've never seen him in real life before. I don't go out much and never really attend our Pack special occasions. You can probably say that I am just the useless part of the pack. Just there for the protection. I will probably end up working along with the humans after i graduate. A boring 9 to 5 job is not even too bad in my head.

We now live along side humans. We are no longer in hiding, unlike 20 years ago. We’ve passed that discrimination and war between humans and werewolves, oh and other creatures. Now the humans seek for our protection in exchange for human resources. 

Toby stopped his car on the parking lot. "Yep, here we are."

I can see that people around the parking lot, especially girls, starring through the car's window. No, of course, they are not starring at me. They are starring at Toby.

Me...uhm, i'm not tall, i'm not tanned, and i'm not beautiful. I'm invincible to them. I'm only 157 cm tall. I have pale skin and i have a messy brown medium-length hair. Very week, very fragile. 

And how come my brother is so attractive? Well yes, he is not my real brother. I am adopted. My biological parents died when i was only 7 years old. The Damons took me in and made me their daughter. I don't remember my life before living with them actually. I don't know if it's because i was traumatized or something, but i just can't remember my life before that. But i do get this one dream from time to time. There's woman and she's crying. I believe she is my mother. But i will never be sure about that.

I do not talk about my pass. At one point, i was very curious about it but seeing how sad and broken mom’s face is whenever i try to talk about it just isn’t worth it. I consider myself a Damon now. 

Another reason why everyone considers me as the useless part of the pack is because i'm a werewolf without a wolf.

Female werewolves get the ability to shift when they turned 16 and male get that ability when they turned 14.

Now, i am 17 and i still don't have the ability to shift. The last time i checked, i can't even find my wolf inside of me. Believe me, i've tried to talk to her and lure her out, but she is just not there.

Some people even accused me of being a human. But no, i am sure that i am not a human. I have the ability to do mind l**k just like any werewolf does.

Toby said that i'm just a late bloomer. However, this has never happened before to anyone in this pack according to the pack's doctor. Hence, i don't want to set my hope too high. 

"Uhm, i'm sorry for making you late for work again." I said to Toby.

"Geez, can you chill about it?" He sighed. "And do you always say sorry for every single thing you do? You can do that habit of yours around me but don't do that around anybody else, okay? People gonna look down on you if you keep this going, Mitz."

I looked down and took a deep breath. "Ugh, yea.. that's just my habit."

"Then you should throw away that bad habit of yours. Okay? Now go. Don't be too good!" He said with a smirk in his face.

I smiled before getting out of his car.

"Oh, Mitzy" Toby shouted from inside the car. I turned around to look at him throught the opened window. "We are throwing a party tonight at the pack house. You're coming with me, okay?"

"Wha-? No i can't. I have to do my english essay." I answered without hesitation.

"Well, the good thing is, I'm not taking a no this time, Mitz." He winked at me before driving away.

I hate that kind of stuff. I hate parties and I hate being in crowded places. But I know Toby will not let this go. I've said no too many times to his offers. 

I sighed and dragged myself into school.

Yep, here we go again.

The days passed in slow motion. School days are always long. I love to learn and i love to study. I just don't like the people there. I just don’t belong with the wolves.

If i had a choice, i’d probably be better going to a human school instead. I bet i will fit in better.

I walked out of school and saw Toby waiting in the car, looking at his cellphone. I got into the car quickly and he turned his head to me.

"Oh, hello sister." He greeted cheerfully and gave me a short hug.

"Hey."

"You ready for parteyyyy?" He shouted, everyone around the parking lot turned their head to us.

"Geez, low down your voice." I hissed. "And you know i don't like to go to parties. I also have many homeworks, can you just take me home instead?"

"Come on, Mitz." He said, starting his car. "Everyone is taking a date. You are my date! Are you seriously going to let your lovely brother go alone?"

"I'm sure you'll be fine." I said, looking out the window as the car started to move.

"Seriously... how could you." He said, showing his sad face.

"Owww, so dramatic." I teased.

He sighed. "Hah... the good thing, i'm the one who's driving the car. Party......here we come." He said happily.

I frowned. "Toby! Don't push me okay!"

"I'm not going to let you stay at home and do your homework, and study, and read books, and do all that nerdy stuff." He said with a big smile on his face.

I groaned. "Seriously Toby?" Im a bit pissed off.

He took a deep breath. "Alright, alright... what about this? We go there, say hello to them, sip a drink, and then go home? You know, i want to show off my lil' sis to my guys." He said while smiling, like talking to a kid.

"There is nothing to show. And what are they gonna say about me? Seriously, Toby. Do you know what they are going to say.. Oh look, that's Toby's sister, the wolfless girl!" I said, with my pissed off tone.

"Trust me, no one is going to say that." He said, now more serious. Yea i best no one dare to say it in front of Toby.  "Just trust me. Kay?"

I am both thankful and embarrassed on how protective Toby is over me. The bullies in school surely avoid me because of Toby. Can’t imagine what they’d do to me if my brother wasn’t a Quill Warrior.

"Whatever, Tob." I said, looking out the window again.

I can see that Toby feel bad from my words because he knows that what i just said might be true. Even if people don't say it to my face, i know what they think, literally. I can hear their judgemental comments in my head even if i try to shut it out.

The ride was quiet. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at the pack house. The pack house is located in the middle of the woods. Only important people can live in this area. Toby actually can live here since his position is pretty important in this pack, but he chose to live with us in the suburbs. 

This is the first time i come to the pack house and this place is pretty hugeeeee... the walls are made of wood and this house has lots of windows. Toby parked the car and we got out of the truck. Toby ran to me and hugged my arms like a small kid.

"Let's goooo..." he said, dragging me into the house. "Come on, smile a little." He pouted.

I sighed. But it doesn't feel right to keep making him feeling guilty. I know he only had good intention. So I plastered a fake huge smile on my face. "Happy now?"

He just smiled at me. He opened the door for me and i can immediately hear the loud music from inside of the house. The house is even more amazing on the inside. The house is so modern and bright with wooden walls and floor. But this place smells like....boys and...sweat....ugh.

I clenched my jaw and walked further. There's a back door leads to the backyard. I can see crowds. We walked through the door, to the backyard. People turned their heads toward us. I look down immediately.

"Bro!" A guy said and run towards me and Toby. He smiled at that guy.

"Oh, this is your sister?" He asked, leaning down to see my face.

I smiled a little and look down again.

"Yea." Toby said, then wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"Hey, Mitzy right? I'm Liam." He said, smiling and taking my hand and shaking it.

"Ahaha, yea hey. Yea.." I responded awkwardly. 

"Come on, come sit here with us." He walked us to where people were sitting and chatting.

Toby still has his arm around me. We stood there and people started to greet us. Surprisingly, they are really nice to me. I'm sure they know i'm the wolfless girl, that's pretty much something i expect the whole pack knows. But they treat me normally. They don't look at me like i'm a burden or a shame to the pack. I can feel that they are sincerely welcoming me.

I sit there beside Toby and people started to shove foods and drinks to our faces.

"No, thank you." I refused the glass of beer kindly.

Suddenly, an arm wrapped around my shoulder. "Hey, Mitz, Toby..." A girl's voice. I turned my head and saw a girl with black hair smiling at me. "I'm Naya. I'm the only female Quill Warrior." She said, sounding so proud. I would also be proud if i was her.

"Stop showing off, Naya." Toby rolled his eyes.

"What? Should I also tell her about the last battle that we had? You know, when i totally kicked your..."

Toby jumped from his seat and put his hand over Naya's mouth. "Woshhh... you are just....ugh...the greatest girl i know....." he said, with a huge fake smile on his face. I laughed.

"So you got your ass kicked by her?" I teased my brother.

He sighed. "Ugh, damn it, Naya. You've been going around telling people that one battle for two weeks! Get over it!!!" He let go of Naya.

Then Naya started to tell me the whole funny story where she kicked Toby's ass.

I guess this is not as bad as i thought.

More people come and go to talk to me and Toby. I’m still very impressed how Toby can talk to anyone about pretty much anything. He has a very charming and likeable personality. Can’t believe he hasn’t found his mate yet.

Toby is talking to a guy about the pack business that i don't really understand. "Toby, i'm going to the toilet for a while." I informed him with a low voice.

"Oh, let me take you there.." he said, completely forgetting about the guy that was talking him.

"No, it's fine. I can manage. You guys just...you know.. continue your business." I said, quickly standing up and walk into the house. I look back and Toby is still looking at me, making sure that i got into the house safely as if something was actually gonna attack me out of nowhere.

I walked around the house looking for the toilet. This house is huge, and confusing too. There are so many walls..so many rooms. I walked around and can't find any toilet in this huge house, the hell. I walked into a library, wrong room again.

I turned my body to walk away when I suddenly bump into someone. My face literally hit that guy's chest, strong chest to be exact. I immediately took a step back.

"Oh my God, i'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." i said, my habit just flows naturally. I'm staring at this guy's feet and he doesn't move, like a freaking statue. Is he okay or something?

I raised my head and saw two beautiful grey eyes, looking back at me. I find this guy scary, with that serious expression and all.

"I-i'm so sorry..." I said, trying to get out of the room but this guy is blocking my way out. What? Is this guy really that angry? I look at this guy's face again and he is still staring at me.

Then he blinked for a couple of times and took a step forward. I took a step back, scared of this guy.

Then he whispered. "Mate." He raised his arm to reach me but I took another step back.

"Y-you must be mistaken." I said. I feel my back hit the wall, nowhere to step back now.

Mate? What the hell is he talking about?

Werewolf do believe in soul mates. The perfect other half or counterpart chosen by the moon goddess for them. Werewolves find their mates by their smell and appearance. The first time they see each other, they’d know. But I smell nothing from this guy. I don't feel anything.

Ugh, he must be drunk. But...he doesn't look drunk and I also don't smell any alcohol. And most of all, werewolves don't get drunk very easily.

This guy walked towards me and leaned down. He suddenly pressed his lips on mine. I gasped and pushed his chest but it's no use. He was about to lift me up by my bottom when I pushed his chest again and this time it worked. He stepped back, frowning.

I don't know what got into me, but I slapped this guy. And he looks unhappy.

"W-what is wrong with you?!!?" I screamed in his face. Then tried to walk past him. But he grabbed my arm and threw me back to the wall.

"Don't walk away from me!" He growled. I can see his eyes started to turn darker and darker. That happens when a werewolf about to shift.

I'm shaking and I don't know what to do.

"Let me go! Please.. i'm sorry." I begged, keeping my eyes closed.

"I'm not gonna hurt you." He whispered. I opened my eyes and we were just inches away from each other. His eyes are back to it's beautiful grey color. "I'm not going to hurt you. You are my mate." He repeated.

"Y-you must be m-mistaken... please let me go." I said, almost crying my eyes out.

"How can i be mistaken?"

"I-i don't feel anything. I don't recognize you as my mate. Please....just let me go." This guy must be crazy. Or maybe he just lost his mate and went crazy or something. I don't know. Is that even possible?

"Mitz?" Someone called out my name. That's Toby's voice.

I saw Toby on the door. I pushed this guy's chest and ran to Toby.

Toby opened his arms to me and I hugged him.

This guy turned his body to us, looking mad.

"Alpha Flynn." Toby greeted that guy, looking surprised.

What? He is the great Alpha Eaton Flynn? He is more of a lunatic than a great alpha.

"Don't touch her!" Alpha growled again.

"W-what?" Toby looked at him, confused.

"Don't touch my mate!" He growled again.

"Mate? What?" Toby stares at me, asking for explanation. I am just as confused as he is.

"I don't know what he is talking about. But i don't smell or feel anything!" I whispered, wrapping my arms around Toby's waist like my life depends on it.

"A-alpha.. you must be mistaken." Toby explained.

"Do you think that is even possible?" His eyes turned darker again. He walked towards us slowly. Good that this guy has so much confidence but I truly don’t feel anything.

"But she doesn't recognize you as her mate."

"Then she must be the one who is mistaken." He said, grabbing my hand.

"No! Wait..." Toby stopping the Alpha. "She is my sister."

Alpha Flynn is still holding on my wrist. He looks confused. "Your adoptive sister?"

"Y-yea.. she is." Toby answered.

"Then you have no right to touch her. She is my mate!" Alpha Flynn growled.

"Toby, let's go home. Hu? We have to go home now." I begged Toby with watery eyes. The one time i go to a freaking party and such thing happened. 

"You don't have to be scared of me. I'm your mate." The Alpha said. How can i not be scared of him? He is so aggressive.

"Please just let me go..." I whispered and started crying. I deep my face to Toby's chest, with Alpha Flynn still holding one of my hand.

But his grip was getting softer and he finally let my hand go.

"I- uhm, we should go now." Toby finally said and wrapped his arms around me tightly. He walked me out of the room. I can still feel Alpha Flynn's eyes burning through my skin. Then we walked out the house and into Toby's jeep.

Toby started driving really fast but i don't mind. I need to be as far away as possible from Alpha Flynn.

I can't be the Alpha's mate. I just can't.
