Gabriela's POV

Its been five weeks and I haven't been fired yet. I guess that's a good thing. When they gave me my check, I went straight to the bank and deposited it in my account, but I took $200 for things like gas, food and personal higine stuff.
Sadly, Steven moved away. His mom got a job offer in Canada and she couldn't turn it down because they pay the triple she used to earn at her old job plus she has a lot of bills to pay.
Tomorrow is my 18th birthday, but dad and I are celebrating it today since tomorrow he's going to be extremely busy at the police station. I think that it has to do with the couple that was murdered two nights ago in the woods and the security for the Infinity Night.

"Gaby?" My boss snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yes sir?"

"I need you to take this files and put them in room E24. I have a meeting there in thirty minutes and I don't have time to do it myself."

"Yes sir. I'm going to do that right away." I told him and he smiled.

"I knew I did well in hiring you kiddo." He winked and left. I stodd up, picked my things and the files. My shift is over in three minutes anyway. It took me ten minutes between delivering the files and returning to the lobby. I quickened my pace to get to my car faster, but a hand on my shoulder stopped me.

"Gabriela wait!" Ben called out turning me around, but I took a step back from him.

"What's up Ben?"

"Um...I was wondering if you would like to join me to dinner this evening." He asked with a flirtly smile.

"Sorry. I can't. I have plans already." I told him truthfully.

"How about tomorrow then? I know this restaurant that has the best food ever. Its the perfect place to celebrate your birthday." Hold the hell up! How the hell did he knew that my birthday is tomorrow?! I've never told anyone about it. I barely talk to him!

"Um, sorry. I can't either. I have plans too. How about you ask Monica to go with you? She's very pretty and fun to be around with. You both would make a good couple." I tried to negotiate.

"Uh, no thanks. I already have other girl in mind." He winked. Okay?
"How about the they after?" He tried again. God. Can't he take a hint?!

"Uh, not good either. I have gym and double shift on Fridays. Rain check?" I told him. I'm running out of excuses. See? This is my problem. I can't be mean to people. Some say that is a gift, but situations like this one make me think that its a curse.

"Of course beautiful. See you later then." He was smiling like if I just gave him a Christmas present. He kissed my cheek and hugged me way too tight that I could feel his erection and it scared me. I pulled away as gently as I could and walked away waving goodbye to him. I got in my car and drove towards home.
Its 6:42pm so dad must already be home waiting for me. I went to my room, took a shower and shaved, slipped on a pair of tight jeans and a tight plain white t-shirt, my black Vans and tied my hair in a high ponytail. I put some deodorant and Splash, brushed my teeth, grabbed my purse with my phone, money and other things and jogged downstairs.

"Done!" I cheered and dad smiled.

"Ready kiddo?" He asked grabbing his coat.

"Yeah." I replied and we made our way towards dad's truck.

"Were are we going?" I asked him once we entered the main road.

"Somewhere fun and with good food." Dad replied.

"Uh...could you elaborate?" I asked making small gestures with my hands.

"Nope." He replied smirking evilly. I pouted and slumped back in my seat staring out the window watching the tree we passed by.

Mikael's POV

"Give it back." Nate demanded seriously and I held the picture high out of his reach. I'm taller than him which I use to my advantage a lot.

"No." I replied.

"Mikael Edward Johnson Stevens! Give me the fucking picture back!" He shouted getting all red in anger and frustration. You see, five weeks ago Lex, Matt and I were chilling in the living room watching The Maze Runner and I was on my phone. Then Nathaniel walked in the hotel room with the widest smile ever holding a picture folder from Walgreens and a little blush on his cheeks.

"Ya got laid mate?" Matt asked and Nate blushed even harder.

"He must've. Look at him! He looks like a bloody tomato with the Grinch's smile." Lex said laughing and pointing at Nate. He just laughed, shook his head and went to his room. I stood up and walked up to him. I'm very curious about why he looks so happy. I've never seen him so happy in the six years we've know each other. His door was open, but I knocked softly anyway to let him know that I'm in the room.

"What's up mate?" Nate asked while putting the pictures folder inside a drawer.

"The question should be what's up with you. You look so.....I don't know....too happy? Its scaring me mate. I'm seriously thinking that we should take you to a doctor." I teased him and he blushed when he glanced back at the drawer were he putted the folder. He must've remembered something or someone when he blushed.

"I met a girl." He told me.

"She hot?" I asked playfully sitting next to him.

"She's beautiful." He replied.

Shit. He got it bad.

"Do you have a picture or something so I can see?" I asked him I saw him hesitate, but he nodded anyway and opened the drawer where he had put the folder.

"This is her." He pointed to a picture where a beautiful brunette was smiling while looking at her phone. She was sitting behind a desk, her hair was in a ponytail and she was wearing a light pink button up shirt.

My mate!

I thought unsubconsciously. I thought I would never find her, but now I have and I won't let her go.
Then I remembered that Nate saw her first and jealousy flooded through my whole body. I wanted to punch him so bad, but then I remembered that he doesn't know that she's my mate. As far as he knows, she's just a girl that he likes a lot. I know that if I tell him that she's my mate, he would take away her picture and won't even introduce her to me. We have seen other guys playing the 'she's my mate' card, just to get laid with the girl before the guy that laid eyes on her first. So I know that he'll think that I'm lying. So I just pretended to be happy for him and chose to ignore my jealousy every time he would stare at her picture.
But today is when I lost it. Now we're in Zander's house as guests and I heard Nate moaning in the room he was assigned to. Zander was the fifth member of our band, but he quitted when he found his mate: Pamela. He joined her pack and has been living here with her ever since.
Anyway, back to Nate moaning. I opened the door of his room. I wanted to scare him and tease him about wanking in someone else's house. Then I saw that he was wanking while staring at my mate's picture. So I quickly snatched the picture from his grasp and ran to the living room with him hot on my tail.

*Back to the fight*

"Give. It. Back Mike. This is not funny." He said through gritted teeth. Which made me angry.

"Trust me, I don't find it the slightest funny either." I told him. Then the lads and Pamela entered the room.

"Then why did you snatched the picture outnof my hands?!" He shouted and I lost control.

"BECAUSE SHE'S MY FUCKING MATE!!!" I yelled everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Bloody hell.
