C A R L O S

After informing the families of the dead wolves, I decided to head back home. That encounter at the hospital was... strange. I don't know why, but I felt like a pull, a need to protect her and care for her. She wasn't my mate, but why did I get the feeling? It felt so right but also wrong.

Was she my mate?

No. I would've felt the mate bond if she were my mate. Whoever she is, she's damn beautiful.

'Carlos is in loveee.' Mateo howled

'What? No, I'm not!' I defended myself

'Then why are you thinking so much about that redhead?' Mateo gave me a wolfy smirk

'I- No im not! I just thought that encounter at the hospital seemed.. strange.'

'You sure about that? I don't think strange is the word you're looking for.'

'Just shut up, Mateo.'

'If you say so, Grayson. Though I wont stop you.' He gives me a smirk

I sigh mentally, I honestly do not know what to do with him. At times, he's like my closest friend, and at the same time, he's also my biggest enemy. Still, the goddess couldn't have paired me with a better wolf.

'Awww, Carlos does love me.'

'Shut up before I lock you to the very back of my mind.'

'You and me both know you won't do that, besides.. I think she was *** ****.' He uttered the last part to himself, to the point I didn't hear him

'What?'

'Nothing.'

Mateo has never hidden something from me whenever there's something wrong. I sigh mentally.

Weird pup

"Carl? Gray? Carlos!" Spencer snapped his finger in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts

I was so deep in thought about her that I didn't realize Spencer entered my office. "Yeah, what are you doing here?" I raised an eye brow

"Can I not check on my alpha and one of my best friends?"

"You can, I'm only asking you a question."

"I just came by to check on you and found you staring at your desk. You only do that whenever you're thinking deep, so what we're you thinking about?"

I hesitated for a minute

Should I tell him? I trust him. We have been friends since childhood. He was the active and kinda bubbly one while I was the quiet yet responsible child.

"I also forgot to tell you about the info about the rogues. We'll discuss it later."

"There was a... female," Spencer's eyes widened."I bumped into her on my way out of the hospital after I got the name of the families' dead member. She was beautiful.." I whispered the last part, "I don't know why, but when I looked at her, I felt sparks."

"Is she your mate? I mean, it must be!"

"I- I don't know. She wasn't my mate, but I still felt sparks."

"I've never heard of that before. What does she look like?"

"She's got this beautif- " Before I could finish, somebody interrupted us with a knock, "Come in." I sighed

"Alpha, Beta." Cameron bowed his head in respect, "Beta Spencer, Beta Julia is calling for you." He bowed his head again before leaving

"Ah, sorry Carl, maybe you can tell me later? Julia is calling for me, probably her cravings." He chuckled

"It's fine, go to your mate, Spencer." I !dismissed him, he left my office, closing the door

Peace quietly creeps to my office before getting interrupted by my thoughts about her. Why do I keep thinking of her? It's not like I actually like her, I only met her 2 hours ago!

No! I can't be unfaithful to my mate, even if I haven't met her yet, but still!

But I can only wonder if she's faithful to me as well...

I need to clear my head right now

I left my office and entered my room, heading to the shower. As I prepared for a cold shower, I stripped myself of my clothes and entered. The cold water hit my skin like light rain and dripping to the shower floor. Steam filled the bathroom as little drips of water leaked out of my shower.

I turned off the shower and wrapped my towel around myself as I got out of my shower. It kinda cleared my head, but not her.

Damn it

I put on a black shirt and blue ripped pants. I combed my hair neatly, a few strands framing my face.

I left my room and headed downstairs to the beta's level. It's where the beta couple, as in Spencer and Julia, currently reside.

As I walked closer to Spencer and Julia's room, somebody bumped onto me again. How many times does this have to happen?

As I looked at her, a familiar scent hit my nose as I looked at her. Shit.

Teressa

Her eyes widened as she looked at me. No, she can't be!

"Mate! You're my ma-" I cut her off by dragging her arm to my office.

"Don't you dare finish that word! You can not be the one I was destined to be with!" I snarled at her

"But Carl-boo, we are destined to be together."

"You are NOT my mate, no. I can not have a pack slut for a luna and mate! It would only destroy what my ancestors created." I roared at her

"B-but-"

"I, Carlos Grayson Knight, reject you Teressa Jamie as my mate and Luna of Mortisnox."
