Laurette POV

I wake up to the lyrics of ACDC 's thunderstruck . It is coming from directly under my room. What the hell is going on ?

I got out of bed and headed for the stairs. As I took my first step a pain shot through my left leg. Oops, I forget that is my injured leg. I have a metal thing that keeps it in place.The pain medication must have worn off. Fighting back tears, I walk down the stairs and limp my way to the room where the music is coming from.

I knock on the door before entering. Dumbass, whoever is in there is not going to hear the knock!

I opened the door to find a hot and sweaty Alpha drinking from his water bottle. He was shirtless yet again, does he even own shirts ?

"Are you done staring?" he asked with a smirk while turning off the music.

"Sorry , Alpha , Sir." I looked down with red cheeks. Shit , how do I address him ? Well fuck Henderson anything would have been better than that.

Before I knew it Jake was right in front of me with dark eyes and a look I found quotes scary , but in a turning-me-on way.

"Don't ever call me that , you are equal to me, call me Jake." he said with a commanding voice.

Equal? Why on dear earth would I be qual to him?

"How did you know I am the Alpha?" he asked with a curious look.

"You walked into the dining room with a straight posture and a sense of pride. You sat down with confidence. When you spoke , you spoke freely , like you didn't care who heard you , which meant that you were the leader. I could recognize it in your body language , even now , you have control and make sure everything is in your control. "

He looked at me in awe , great Henderson , you had to open your mouth and try to sound smart! My mother was right , girls should only look pretty.

" I apologize Alp- Jake , my mother is right, I always try to sound smart."

"You don't sound smart , you fucking are , how would you even notice these things ?" he said all at once. He came closer and noticed me flinch from the pain in my leg because I was trying to move away.

"Does your leg hurt ?" he asked with a soft and concerning tone.

"Uhh, I should go." I began to walk toward the door when Jake grabbed my hand and I bashed into his chest, it sent a tingle though my arm.

"What's your name?"

"Laurette" and with that I left the room, heading upstairs.That weird feeling was driving me insane , making me want to jump his bones. I need to calm myself.

As I got into bed , I replayed what just happened. He said I was equal to him. Does he know about my past pack? No, he can't . Maybe I am over exaggerating , yes , that's it.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

"You will never be a female Alpha of this pack nor the Luna ! You are a girl , and like it or not , you will never be able to lead this pack!" my stepdad said before slamming his fists into his desk. "I hate having to say this Laurette , but your mother was right, you should have never been a hunter! You are a woman for God's sake , you can't fight!I am the Alpha of this pack and you can't barge in and demand to take the title. You will be treated as a joke."

Those were the last words I heard my stepdad say before I ran upstairs to my room , packed my bags and texted my best friend Skully.

I slammed the front door behind me and climbed into Skully 's car. If my stepdad wanted me to show him that I could fight! Fuck , I will fight alright.

"Where are we off to this time ?" Skully asked with a grin.

"Me , you , Erin , Jessebelle , Butch , Harper , Sasha and whoever else from the Albekurky Sisters are going to join the army to fight in the war of 'Death'!"

Skully looked at me and said "Its about time, let's show them what we are made of !"

I woke up a bit sweaty and almost crying when I though about the dream I just had. Then it hit me , equality , Luna , Jake . The tingles and my attraction towards him.

Jake must be my mate.

No. I chuckled in a weird way. My mother said I would never find a mate if I was a Hunter. I would be considered a threat. She said that I would never be loved by anyone.

Maybe she is wrong...
