Maybe

I was making my way down the stairs quietly to get breakfast when in a matter of seconds Cole appeared in front of me. I screamed in surprise. 

"Where do you thing you're going?" He said seriously. He honestly thought I was going to leave. 

"To get breakfast." I said matter of factly, then pushed his chest with my hands to move him out of the way. God those muscles.

I walked into the nice kitchen and marveled at the range of appliances standing before me. As a daughter of the Alpha, I was trained in many different fields. I was bilingual, could play many different instruments, an avid runner, and also taught how to cook like a professional. 

All the appliances were obviously unused because I was sure the only thing Cole knew how to cook was toast. 

He was following close behind me to see what I was doing. I began pulling out different ingredients and cooking tools. I decided to make freshly sqeezed orange juice, pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, hashbrowns, and some thick cut bacon. As I cooked away I could feel Cole's eyes watching my every move, and I just tried to ignore him. 

By the time I was done, the aroma of the food was so heavenly, I could see Cole was about to drool. I fixed my plate and sat down a couple seats away from him and began eating.

"Where's mine?" Cole asked like puppy.

"You thought I was going to make you some?" I asked increduously.

"Well yeah, you are my mate. You're supposed to." He said this like I should know this. 

I dropped my fork. "Okay listen, I am not going to sit here like your property and make your food and answer to your every beck and call. Got it?" I said staring him in the eyes.

He growled. Uh oh. I guess he didn't like that. In a matter of seconds I was pinned against the walls with no choice but to be squished against Cole. "Okay you listen. I am your Alpha now, but I am also your mate. And when you have a mate, you do everything in your power to please them, so yes you should have made me something to eat."

I didn't know how to respond to that, but I didn't care. His touch was sending me into frenzies, and his breath sent shivers down my spine. I could tell he didn't care about the food either. He was holding my head in his two huge hands and we had our foreheads pressed together. I was on the verge of jumping his bones right then and there, but something inside me held me back. I squirmed to get out of his grip, and luckily he let me go. He sighed in defeat.

I walked to the counter, retreived my food, and bounded up the stairs to get back to the guestroom so I could finish my breakfast there.

Once I finished my breakfast I decided that I should probably shower since I hadn't in awhile. The lavish shower had an array of gels and exfoliants to choose from and I felt like I was in heaven. Once I was finished I wrapped a towel around body and another around my hair. The cabinet underneath the sink held some makeup and I put on a little blush and mascara then went to the closet. Although, the guestroom closet appeared to be empty. I guess I was going to have to face Cole again.

I felt a little too exposed for my liking, but it was my only option. I peeked into his room, and he wasn't there. I searched the whole second story but could not find him. I went down the stairs and found a set of double doors that I heard mumbling behind. I opened them up and saw Cole behind a desk with someoene I didn't know sitting in another chair. I heard him growl and he was immediately in front of me obstructing me from the stranger's view.

"You're mine!" He said angrily. And closed the office doors behind me him so that we could talk. "What do you want?" He said impatiently. 

"Um, well I needed some new clothes and underwear." I said looking everywhere but him.

He sighed, "Fine, I'll make a call, but until then I want you to stay in that room, you hear me? That cannot ever happen again. Only I am allowed to see you like this." 

"Okay." I agreed and went back up the stairs and waited on whatever he set up to get me clothes.

I sat in the room bored for about ten minutes when someone busted through the door. I held my towel closely to my chest as a smiling girl walked in.

"Oh my gosh, you are gorgeous!" The girl squealed in excitement. 

"Uh, thanks." I said softly smiling back at her.

"Well my name is Lindy! And I know that you're Cora. I am Cole's sister!" She said reaching out to shake my hand, and I shook her's back.

"Okay, Cole told me you need clothes?"

"Yep."

"Okay! Well I brought a few things in this bag so you can pick out what you like. As soon as you do we are leaving to shop for some better clothes."

I was not objecting, for this girl was also gorgeous. She had the same warm brown hair as Cole, but she had shocking blue eyes that were complemented by her crimson lipstick. Her outfit was made up of black skinny pants, black heel boots, a flowy top, and a black blazer. She was so put together and looked like she could conquer the world. I was surprised at how sweet she was, I had always assumed that the people of the Earth pack were constantly unpleasant and malicious. I was dead wrong.

Once we left the house I realized why I needed better clothes. Every person I saw looked to be physically perfect. Not a hair out of place. The first place she took me was a hair and makeup salon. After getting some highlights to my already light brown hair, Lindy and I headed to multiple shops and built up a cutting-edge wardrobe for me.

Lindy and I had a lot in common and I already knew she would make this experience so much better for me. She had yet to find her mate, and I reassured her that she would soon. Once we got back to the house, she offered to help me organize my new closet. As we were walking up the stairs she headed for Cole's room.

"Wait! I stayed in the guestroom last night, so I think I am going to be using that closet!" I said guiltily. 

She looked at me questionably, "That closet isn't big enough for all your things! Let's just set it all up in here." She said and then walked into Cole's room for the closet. Great, I knew she would take his side on this. Afterall, she was his sister. Reluctantly, I followed.

After several trips from the car to the closet, we had managed to haul all of the shopping bags into the closet and began putting shoes on racks and color coordinating tops.

"I know my brother can be a dick, but I hope you give him a chance." She said sadly. My heart dropped into my chest.

"I am! I really am, it's just that this is all so foreign to me. I wasn't expecting he would be my mate."

"Yeah, I know he has a bad reputation. He really does, and I am not going to lie to you and say that all the rumors aren't true, because most of them are." She said seriously. I winced thinking about some of the things I had heard.

"I will give him a chance, I promise." I said smiling.

"Thank you! You have no idea how hard it was on him not to have found you sooner. He needs you. He might not show it that well, but he does." I could tell she was holding back tears, and I wondered why. I was not going to pry anymore. I would ask that question another day.

(a/n) ok, thats it for now! i have a good plan for the next chapter, and it's going to be a more playful mood than most of this chapter so ya
