I stood in front of the body length mirror staring at my reflection.

My eyes were dul and lifeless. The happy alive look gone.

My posture wasn't confident anymore instead I held a vulnerable posture.

I had been here for a month now and my life did a full one eighty.

I turned from happy to miserable.

I sighed and made my way to Carson.
I found him talking to a black haired male. I knocked lightly and both turned to face me.

"Who might you be?"the male asked

"Cara-i was cut off by Carson

"Just some maid. What do you want Cara?"he snapped

I flinched and looked down.

"I was wondering if I could go for a run" I whispered tears welling in my eyes

"Of course you can. I'm Jack Russel. This assholes older twin brother. Your a pretty one by the way." Jack smiled.

"By five minutes!" Carson exclaimed throwing his hands up in exasperation.

I returned the smile and exited the office.
Once I was outside I shifted into my wolf.

My wolf was average sized with a white patch on my left ear.

I ran through the woods tears wetting my fur.

I ignored the twigs hitting my skin as i ran blindly.

I stopped at a lake and starred at my reflection.

Why wasn't I good enough?

Was I ugly? Fat? Weak?

My thoughts were interrupted when a rogue tackled me to the ground pressing me down by my elbows. He shifted and I shifted as well not caring that I was stark naked.

"A pretty girl like you shouldn't be out here alone. I could easily kill you" he smirked.

I looked him in the eye and replied,"Then kill me. My mate hates me. I have no reason to live."

His smirk vanished and he let go of my elbows.

"Damn. Are you okay? Wait no that's a stupid question. God that ass is stupid. Your gorgeous!"

I laughed lightly and brought my knees up to my chest to cover my chest a bit.

The rogue quickly noticed and handed me a shirt he had tied around his leg.

I muttered a thanks and slipped it on.

"Shit. I am such an idiot! My name is Roman by the way."

"Well my name is Caralysa."I smiled.

Roman nodded and we began talking for sometime

I learnt that he had a deceased little sister

That he lived with five other men in an apartment near the city.

His favourite color was green and that he hated cats.

He had found his mate but she died a few years ago because of cancer

That he was twenty one and had never been to Disney Land.

After an hour of talking he stood up.

He offered me his hand and I gladly accepted.

"It was very nice meeting you Cara but I need to go. Meet here tomorrow?" He asked.

"Sure. Six?"

He nodded before shifting and running off into the woods. I shifted as well and ran towards the pack house.

Carson was waiting for me outside the mansion his face buried in his hands and a shirt I hands.

I let out a bark to catch his attention. He looked up and relief passed through his eyes.

"God Cara you gave me a heart attack dissappearing for hours!" He exclaimed.

I gave him a wolfy grin and shifted back to human form.

He passed me the shirt and I gratefully accepted it.

It reaches about an inch under my ass exposing my long legs.

"Meet me in my office in twenty minutes." And with those few words he left.

****

I walked into the office and he looked up from his work.

"I have another pack coming tomorrow to talk about an agreement about his daughter becoming my new Luna. I want you to stay out of sight. Since you never listen to instructions you will be spending the next few days at my brothers pack house. You will not say a word about us being mates. Got it?" He said blatantly ignoring the fact that I was standing in front of him. His mate.

I nodded meekly tears building up in my eyes.

"Now get out."

I didn't stop the tears from falling as I left the office.

Not noticing where I was walking I bumped into a rock hard chest. I mumbled an apology and looked up to meet the eyes of Jack.

"Why the tears?"

"Um... I found out that my best friend is sick....?" I said praying that he wouldn't notice my voice going two octaves higher.

He seemed to ignore the fact and said, "Well pack your things cause we are leaving in an hour. You'll love Lisa. I'm sure of it"

"Your mate?"

His smile dropped a fraction at the mention of his mate

"No. I haven't met her yet." He mumbled sadly.

"I'm sure you'll find her soon." I offered him a small smile before going to my room to pack.

***

I sat on my bed after packing and thought about my messed up life.

Two loud knocks interiors my train of thought.

"You ready?" Jacks voice penetrated the wooden door.

I stared at the small suitcase on the ground and replied,"Yup"

Halo

Yes I'm still alive.

I'm so sorry for not updating sooner I was in a major writers block :(

I hope u liked the chapter. I personally thought it was crap.

Please give me your honest opinion on the chapter.

Dave Franco plays Jack Russell.

I am not sure if I mentioned Carsons last name but it's Russell.

What do you think of Roman?

School starts next week so I am not sure when I will update.
