The Runaway Mate

Chapter 1

I can't believe it. Today is the day that I am going to find out who my mate is. For all I know he could be a jerk that only cares for himself and nobody else, or, he could be a sweet and caring person that will do anything in his will to protect me.

Ha! I doubt that he's gonna be sweet and caring. Keep dreaming Lydia, your mate will not be that kind of guy. He'll reject me once he lays his eyes on me.

'Don't think like that! Our mate could be the one that we've always dreamed about!' My wolf Arribel said.

I rolled my eyes as I finished getting ready for the party. The soon to be Alpha, Rhett, was throwing one for all the mate less wolves. He has also just turned sixteen and was hoping to find his other half tonight just like the others.

Rhett and I used to be really good friends. That is until what had happened. I still haven't forgotten that day. It was the worst day of my life.

I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts that were starting to roam around in my mind. I finished curling my red hair and went to look at myself in my full body length mirror. I had put on a coral blue dress and some flats. I also had my small cross earings on and the matching necklace that my grandmother gave me.

Once I was finished I went downstairs.

"Oh, honey, you look beautiful!" My mother said. My father nodded along with her as he came to stand beside her.

"Thanks." I told them as we went into the living room where my three brothers Matthew, Cameron, and Taylor, were.

I sat between Matt and Taylor and told them thanks as they all complimented me.

After about ten minutes the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." I said as I got up and smoothed my dress. I walked to the door and opened it to see my four best friends standing there with wide smiles.

"Oh, my gosh! You look gorgeous!" Kassy gushed as she admired my hair and outfit.

"Thanks. You all look amazing too!" I told them.

"If I were a guy, I'd tap that." Samantha said and we all laughed at her.

As we were waiting for my brothers to get their coats out of their room we saw Jess stick her nose in the air. She was sniffing the air now. Uh oh. That only means one thing.

"Do you guys smell that?" She asked. Nobody answered because there were footsteps coming down the stairs. Jess was still smelling the air as the rest of us looked towards the stairs.

Taylor had his nose in the air just like Jess. When he reached the last step he looked at us all. "Mine!" He growled and raced towards Jess. He grabbed her and held her close to him. Then they started making out.

"Hey! Hey! Stop! You can save that for the bedroom but right now we need to get to a party. Some of us still have a mate to find." Samantha said and they pulled apart. Jess was bright red and Taylor gave Sam a look.

"Anyways, let's get going." Maddie said. We went and told my parents goodbye and then we were off to go to the party.

When we arrived to the party you could see people out front that were drunk and acting crazy and stupid.

We all got out of the car and my brothers went their separate ways. Well except for Taylor, he stayed with us. Mainly because his mate was with us.

We went in and saw people dancing crazy on the makeshift dance floor that Rhett made. Taylor and Jess went to go dance while Kassy, Maddie, Samantha, and I went to a get drink. Tonight will be good. I'm ready to have some fun and to possibly get drunk with my friends.

After downing my second shot I could smell a sweet aroma. It smelled like pine, fresh forest, and chocolate. (Odd combo. Sorry.)

My wolf was jumping up and down. But I didn't know why.

"Do you guys smell that?" I asked. They shook their head no. As I let my head down to look at the girls I heard someone growl. It came from behind me. I turned around and was shocked to see who it was.

"Mine!" He growled again and pulled me close. I was still shocked, but that didn't stop me from fighting against him.

"No! No! This can't be! You can't be my mate! This is all wrong!" I said as I got out of his grip. He looked at me and got closer to my face.

"I'm sorry that you're upset about this. But there is no way to change it. We are meant to be together." He said.

"There is still one way to change it." I said with a small smile on my face.

"And how is that?" He asked as he got even closer to me. My heart started to beat even harder now.

Rejection. I thought.

"I, Lydia Marie, reje-" he growled at me before I could finish my sentence.

He grabbed me by my arms and said, "As Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack I demand you to not reject me, Rhett Thomas, as your mate, Lydia Marie." My eyes widened at his words.

"That's not fair! You can't do that!" I said as I started to shake. He looked me in my eyes and said,

"Life isn't fair little mate, and I just did." When those words came out of his mouth I did something that I should not have done. I slapped him. He let go of me and I did something that nobody was expecting. I ran.

I ran away from my mate and out of the pack house. I ran away from my friends and family. I went to a place that nobody would ever expect to find me.

I ran into the forest and took my clothes off. I then changed into my wolf. I ran until I found a small cave that was big eneough just for me. I went inside of it and layed down.

'Why would you do that?! We've been waiting on our mate all this time and when we meet him you run!' My wolf was mad at me now. I didn't care and I was in no mood to talk to her right now so I shut her out. I layed down and went to sleep while thinking about my mate. Rhett Thomas.
