Kate is a perfectly normal teenage girl. She gets straight A's, she's the queen of the school, she even has a boyfriend who she thinks is cheating on her - what could be more normal then that? At least that was her life until she was stolen away at...
Avery lead me back to my room, he seemed to undergo a serious mood change. He through me into the room and slammed the door behind me. I was scared, and very confused. I got up from the floor and banged on the door calling for Avery to come and let me out.
I could hear him pacing outside the door, like he was debating whether or not to open the door. I tried my hardest to sound tempting, tears threatening to spill out . "Please, let me out. Please, I need to go home, please." I said with a whisper.
I heard him growl from the other side of the door. "I can't," He said in a low voice, I wasn't even sure if I was supposed to hear it. Then I heard his boots stomp the other way, leading away from the door.
"Damn," I muttered under breath. I remembered the staircase in the trunk. I ran over to the trunk but to my dismay it was bolt-locked from the outside. I kicked it hoping that maybe it would open again. It didn't. It didn't even move.
"God," I muttered. "Avery!" I shouted loud, it was then that the realization that I probably wasn't going to get out this alive hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears came again, falling all over my shirt, soaking my face. After sitting there blaming Avery, and throwing curses at anyone who helped him. I finally decided to go to sleep. I laid down on the bed curling into the blanks and pillows wishing that I would fade away into smoke.
Avery's POV
I was on my shift patrolling the tunnels, walking back and forth looking for any intruders. It was a very boring job, it involved a lot of focus, which I didn't have today. All I could think about was Kate. Kate was the girl I was mated for. Of course she didn't know that, she was a human. Yes, if you haven't figured it out by now I'm not human.

Kate, I found out was my mate last night when I was in human form. I felt a twist in my gut when I looked at her and I knew. When I had seen her in my other form she looked like just another human. Why we decided to crash that party, I don't know, but I was happy as hell that we did. I think it had something to do with Isiah. He's is my Beta, that means he's second in command, my father gave me control of everything when I turned 18, it's been 5 years now.
After roaming the corridors for about an hour, I heard someone walking ahead of me. I followed them closely to see if they were a threat, soon I heard them trip and fall. That's when I made my move, I ran ahead to see who it was.
Just when I was about to attack, I stopped when I saw a girls form, she was human. It was Kate, her delicate form, was laying face down in the mud. Somehow she had found a way into the tunnels. I was too shocked to do anything, so when she turned around I scared the crap out of her.
"Kate?" I muttered under my breath, but she was already running down the hall, pumping her arms like an adorable idiot.
I could have easily caught up with her, but she looked so cute running away, I had no idea that she was running right towards the trap door into the dinning hall. Before I knew it, it was to late she had already climbed out. I threw my arm up and caught ahold of her shoe. I pulled hard but all it did was pull her shoe off and propel her forward.
"Hey!" I shouted at her as she ran right out the balcony door. I watched in horror as she fell, I ran out the front door, her terrified face burned against my retinas. As I ran into the backyard where I saw she was tumbling helplessly down the hill.
But before I could catch her, Conner had to step his skinny ass into everything and saved her. I knew what he was doing, but I still couldn't believe it. He was actually going to go through with it after all. I watched as he held onto her tightly, as she laid her head onto his shoulder.
My inner being screamed at the thought of another man touching her. It when something like," I don't care that he's my friend, he can't touch her, and if he does again, I'll rip his head off." NowI knew that was completely ridiculous, but I couldn't stop that rage boiling inside me, and it scared me.
I pushed whatever it was down, mustering any self control I could manage, and walked over to them. It was then that I was hit with her scent, it made my fists clench, my dick harden, and my heart swell. It made me want to rush up and snatch her right out of his arms and crush her into me.
But of course I knew that would scare the shit out of her and stood by waiting for the right moment. In case your wondering it never came, I took her back to her room and left before something bad happened. I went and cleaning myself up, when I went back to Kate's room, and she was lying on the bed passed out. I silently walked over to the side of the bed she was sleeping on. I grabbed a hold of the blanket at the end of the bed and was going to pull it over her sleeping form. At least I thought she was sleeping, until I pulled back the covers and it was just a bunch of pillows. "Kate?" I asked turning around to see her try to swing a lamp into my face.
I caught her wrist making the lamp fall out of her hand and onto the floor. "Well that wasn't very nice now was it?" I said to her laugh, chuckling, she was a feisty one.
"I-it wasn't s-s-upossed to be." She stuttered. I looked at her face, I could see had been crying, worst of all she had bruises forming all over her arms and had least 2 on her face. I felt awful putting her though that ordeal, but it had to be done.
"I'm going to let you go now, but if you try anything I'll have to lock you in here again. Do you understand?" I asked putting as much authority into voice as possible.
She nodded, and I released her. She spun away from me and crossed her arms. "Why am I here?" She asked glancing from the floor to my face.
She was so cute when she was self conscious. "All will be explained in due time, but right now..." I said turning her around and pushing her towards the door. "I'm going to take you on a tour of my home, as a....apology." I said unlocking the door and leading her into the hallway.
"So your idea of an apology is showing me the place where I am going to be held hostage? Yeah I don't think so." She huffed out, pouting slightly. "I think a good apology is to letting me go." She said turing to face me, making me stop and stare at her.
"Look I can't let you go, your too important, you don't even realize it." I said reaching up to stroke her cheek, but I decided not to and lowered my hand, I had to learn control around her. It would take time, but I would do it. I would win, and she'll understand everything soon.
"Come on, let's go," I said putting my hand on the small of her back and leading her downwards, and this time she didn't fight back.
