“You need to calm down Anita. You're scaring some of the pack members and they look up to you for guidance. Plus the blood covering you isn’t really reassuring” my father said as I paced back and forth in the pack hospital.“I can’t worry about that right now. My mate is hurt and there is nothing I can do. I thought they were after me but, they wanted him” I let out.“Someone must have figured out he was your mate which meant they must have been tailing you for a while. They killed the two guards watching you which was what allowed the rogue to even get that close” Henry spoke.“Right now I don’t care much about the rogue. I just want to know if Kelly is okay. I told him to leave so he wouldn’t get hurt, but instead he stayed” I sighed, taking a seat.“He may be human, but that doesn’t mean he can’t feel the mate bond. Probably not as strong as you do but, he’ll still feel protective and he’s a man. It isn’t your fault, Anita” my father told me.“It is my fault. His life was normal be
*Kelly's POV*I’m a werewolf.I come from a long bloodline of werewolves.Those two lines ran on repeat in my head like a record.The more I thought about them, the crazier it sounded.For some reason, what Anita had told me yesterday was still registering in my mind.If I hadn’t seen what she did to her hand, I was going to think she was high on weed or even crack.Werewolves. I mean seriously they were something you read about in a trashy romance novel or in fairytales.They weren’t supposed to exist in real life, but apparently they did.This was reality, and in reality my girlfriend and her whole family were fairytale creatures.Getting up out of the bed, I walked over to the window.I could see people walking around. Some even entering the woods that seemed to be all over the place.They all looked normal, just like regular people.“You shouldn’t be standing” someone said from behind me.I turned around and saw a blonde woman. She had her arms crossed and by the look on her face,
*Anita's POV*“Then let me figure it out. Explain it to me. I don’t want to do something without knowing everything first. Let me into your world” he said.“No. You need to leave” I sighed, walking over to the window behind my desk.I stared out at some of my pack members as I rubbed my chest trying to ease the pain.“Anita, I’m not leaving until you talk to me ” he said determined.“I wanted to talk yesterday but, you didn’t seem happy with the idea” I mumbled.“I’m sorry but, it was all surprising. I didn’t understand what was happening” Kelly told me.“And you think now you’ll understand? You are a human. My world is totally different from yours so, you couldn’t possibly understand, okay?" I said, sounding dejected. "The sad part is that before yesterday I had hoped you would. Then I thought about it and things could never work out” I sighed.“Anita just give me a second chance, please” he breathed coming over and touching my arms.The familiar sparks danced across my skin from his
*Anita*After Kelly told me he loved me, I felt amazing.My wolf relished in the fact that our mate didn’t reject us.Though it wasn’t until we had sex that the mate bond would be complete. I’d have to bite and leave my mark on him. Until then, he could still reject the bond although I highly doubt it.“Were you ever going to tell me about this?” Kelly asked as we walked around.I wanted to show him our land, and also I felt if the pack members saw us together, they wouldn’t be worried about a stranger.“Eventually. It’s hard to bring humans into our world because most don’t understand. We’d be telling people that the stories they heard as children are actually true and some can’t handle it. That’s why it’s forbidden, unless it deals with mates. If we stay in the shadows, it lowers the dangers toward us” I explained.“What kind of dangers?” he questioned.“Rogues and hunters. Rogues are werewolves that went insane. They’ve lost all of their humanity and gained bloodlust for other wolv
“Are you okay?” Kelly asked as we entered the pack house.“I’m fine. Now please stop asking me that” I spoke, flashing him a smile.“I just want to make sure. You looked a little on edge with Rose” he said.At the sound of her name, I felt a growl at the back of my throat.“I’m sorry if I scared you. My emotions are kind of all over the place with the mate bond. They won’t settle until we’ve sealed the bond” I told him as we headed upstairs.“Sealed the bond? What does that mean?” he asked confused.I led him into the guest bedroom I had on my floor. It was usually used for my parents when they stayed over.“As werewolves, we must claim our mates and mark them. This happens when we have sex for the first time. But since I’m an Alpha, there is supposed to be a big ceremony first where I introduce you to the pack as my mate. Then we consumate, like a marriage” I explained.“Oh” he mumbled as his skin flushed red and he blushed. It was really cute.“Are you okay? The ceremony won’t happe
“Well isn’t this a nice surprise” she spoke leaning back to look at me.“I’d say.You’re a hunter?” I asked.“Does Kelly know what you are? That he’s dating a filthy, unnatural creature” Rose snickered watching me with a face of disgust.“That isn’t any of your business. I’m the one asking the questions.Your job is to answer them or else you’ll suffer the consequences” I growled as my eyes flashed yellow.“Careful. You’ll get nothing from me if I’m harmed.Besides how will you explain to Kelly that you’ve locked up his bestfriend.He won’t be to happy about that” she spoke.“What makes you think he’ll actually care especially, after the shit you’ve pulled.Honestly, it was pretty pathetic watching you throw yourself at a man that doesn’t want you.I mean talk about being friend zoned” I chuckled trying to rile her up.I was hoping she was one of those people that would slip up when angry.“Shut the hell up! You know nothing about Kelly. You’ve been in his life for what,…five minutes.
I was dreading going to see my parents.Since everything with Anita, I haven’t really talked to them lately especially, my mom.I knew that I couldn’t go on like that which is why I had to come see them in person.Just to prove that I was ok.Taking a deep breath I got out of my car and headed to the door.I knocked before entering and stood there waiting.“Kelly, thank God! We were so worried about you! Where have you been?” my mom asked pulling me into her arms.“It has only been four days and I was busy with a work thing” I lied stepping into the house.“Don’t lie to me. I asked your father and he said you haven’t been over to the company” she stated crossing her arms.“Fine. I took some time off. I needed to deal with some things” I sighed.“Are you in trouble Kelly?” she asked.“No, I’m not” I groaned.“Then why have you been avoiding your family?” she asked.“Cause everytime I come over here your trying to set me up with someone.No matter how many times I tell you that I am fin
I watched Anita run out the door.I felt the need to chase after her but, I ignored it.I knew she wanted space. Rubbing my face, I thought about what she said about Rose being a hunter.I couldn’t believe it. I mean I would have known if my best friend hunted werewolves.It was just crazy and I needed proof. I mean it wasn’t like I didn’t trust Anita but, this was just outrageous.“I don’t like you” Caroline spoke coming back into the room.By the glare on her face, I didn’t doubt her statement.“I didn’t mean to hurt her” I sighed trying to defend myself.“You did though. The relationship with mates in the begining is a delicate, fragile one.Anything could set your significant other off especially, wolves.Our emotions are already heighten but, it’s worse during the mating process” she explained.“I didn’t know but, I’m starting to notice. I have to see Rose.If you guys are holding her here as a prisoner, I need to talk to her” I stated.“That isn’t my decision to make. You’d have
