Cole's POV I reach my office and swing open the door. I am so angry I throw everything off my desk. I roar into the air so loud that I am sure the entire pack could hear me. Devin walks in. "Bro are you okay?" he asks. "No, I am not okay, this is not good." I reply as I start pacing the floor. "I don't want a mate damn it! She's the witch, isn't she?" I shout. Devin looks at me with an expression I have never seen him give me before and there is a sadness behind it. "Her name is Stella." I really did not like the way he said her name, there was something going on. I swore I saw a flash of something in his eyes. I move on. "I am supposed to marry Alpha Leo's daughter from Blood Moon and now I have a mate," I yell. My wolf Stefan growls, he does not like my tone when speaking about our mate. Truth be told I did not like my tone either. Pacing around like this makes me think about her more. Her soft skin and those beautiful pouty lips. Damn I want her ri

"Give me your hand." She doesn't hesitate giving me her hand. "Close your eyes and clear your mind. Think of a bright light surrounding you," I say. I lay my hand on top of hers. A warmth radiates through my body. The crickets get louder, and electricity grows thick in the air. I close my eyes and search deep within her mind. "He has blonde hair and crystal blue eyes," I tell her. "I can see him" Elise squeals. Suddenly we are standing on a pier. Elise is holding my hand. It is foggy out and I can hear foghorns from boats in the distance. Water laps against the pier. "This has to be somewhere in the northeast." I say. Suddenly he is walking toward us and Elise's body jolts. "Sebastian"! Someone says behind him. A girl runs over to him and grabs his arm. Sebastian smiles at her. Elise Growls "Oh no! He has found someone." There is panic in her voice."Hey little sister!" Sebastian says.  I feel Elise relax. "Are you ready for your alpha cer

Stella’s POV The next day Elise, Austin and I are on our way to Chicago to go dress shopping. Cole had told Elise to buy whatever we wanted. I look at my phone. Tyler had been trying to call me for the past couple of days. I guess while I am in the city, I will rip off the Band-Aid and let him know it is over for good. Even though Cole has been ignoring me as much as humanly possible, I knew I could not keep doing this back and forth with Tyler. Why do I have to have these feelings and why do I have to be mated to Cole? Every time he touches me, I feel like I am on fire. We finally arrive in the city. I told Elise to pack an overnight bag just in case we decided to stay. She had told me that her brother was adamant that we return after shopping. We will see about that I thought when she told me. We go from store to store trying on dresses. Elise keeps trying on dresses that cover her up way too much. “Elise let me pick out a few options for you are kind of making you

Two Weeks LaterStella’s POVCole and I have been working together closely for the past two weeks finding the dark witches. We have captured six so far. They do not give us much though. They are known as bottom feeders, so they don’t know anything. I feel happy and at peace when I am with Cole and I know he feels the same. I wish things could be different between us. Any time I am not with him I am wondering what he’s doing, and I fantasize about him. I keep having these crazy vivid dreams about the two of us. I try to shake it.Elise and I are in her room getting ready for the ball. I help her do her make-up and do her hair in gorgeous curls. “Damn girl you look gorgeous,” I tell her. She smiles “I don’t even recognize myself,” she smiles in the mirror. I get myself ready I do my makeup and curl my hair. I slip into my sexy black dress. “Cole and all the other Alphas are going to die when they see you,&rdquo

One Week LaterI have been contacting everyone I know to try to find a job. I do not want to cash the check Cole left for me. I may have to soon though. I sigh in frustration as I sit on a park bench. “Hey I know you,” someone says. I look up and staring down at me is a gorgeous man. I am not even interested though. What has Cole done to my mind? “I don’t think so,” I tell him flatly. “Yes I do you are Cole’s witch,” he says. “How do you know? Oh wait you’re a wolf aren’t you?” I ask. “Yes I am Alpha Joseph Ayers of the Night MoonPack.” He holds his hand out to shake mine. I decide not to be rude and take his hand in mine. “Nice to meet you I’m Stella,” I tell Joe.Now that I am looking at him, he is handsome. He has short dark hair with green eyes. I cannot see any tattoo’s he looks clean cut with a little stubble on his face. That stubble makes him look
