Eastons POV3

I finally found my mate. I've been waiting most of my life to find her and now that I finally have I am so happy. Happy that I found my mate, not happy with who and what my mate was.

Nikki James. In other words, stubborn, annoying, and mega bitch. She is also human. She couldn't at least be a werewolf?

I noticed before I even knew she was my mate that she had a black eye. I wondered the whole class, even more so after I touched her how she got it. Was she in a fight? She seems like the kind of girl that would get into a fight.

After class I walked out of school towards the woods behind it. As soon as I had the cover of the trees I started to run. I heard the familar sound of my bones breaking into place and felt little pain as they did so.

My paws hit the ground hard as I ran. For a werewolf I was unnaturally large. Most weres were around 8 1/2 feet tall but I was around 10 1/2. My father told me it was because I am of alpha blood but even my father isn't as big as me. The pack doctor said that it was indeed unusual but it was nothing to worry about, so I didn't.

I skidded to a stop when I heard my betas voice, 'Dude! What the fuck happened? Everyone I school is talking about how you found your mate. What the hell! Who is she? Is she hot?'

I felt a growl rip through my chest when he asked me that last question. 'Okay man, calm down. I just asked that to see if it was true. Damn. Where are you?'

'Running.' was my short reply.

'This is your first day here and you're already skipping classes? Your moms gonna be pissed, just saying'

I rolled my eyes and blocked him. I walked through the forest only to have him show up 5 minutes later.

'What the hell Bryson? Usually, going for a run by myself mean I don't want to be with anyone at the time. So get the fuck outta here before I break your leg.' I threatend.

Bryson didn't back off though, 'Tell me who she is first and I'll leave.'

I low growl eprupted in my chest and I bared my teeth, 'Leave me alone! I don't wanna talk about it. I'm sure if you go back you'll hear all about it, so go before I make you.'

'Yeah well, I wanna hear it from you, aka my best friend, aka the one who's being a dick right now'

That did it. I pounced on him and we rolled around on the forest floor, growling, snapping, biting, and clawing. It wasn't a full out fight like you fight your enemy but it wasn't a pussy fight either.

When I finally was able to pin him down he spoke again 'Just tell me' he said with an exasperated tone.

'Don't you know when enough is enough?' I asked rudely.

'Don't you know that I'm your best friend and am going to stay here untill you tell me?' he replied smartly back.

'Fine her name is Nikki James! There, you happy now? Now leave.'

I heard the crack of Brysons bones as he shifted back to human form. He stood before me naked. That wasn't anything new for us weres. After the first couple times shifting it wasn't weird or awkward to be around eachother naked. Even around girls and the girls even participated in this task of being naked.

I shifted back to, "Easton, I've seen that girl around and she's fine. What the hell are you complaining about?" Bryson asked.

"Shes human." I replied stiffly.

He shurgged, "So? You've banged human girls before, and she's your mate so it still doesn't answer my question as to why you're making such a big deal about this. You've been here what, a day? And you met her today for one period and you're out here pouting like a little girl. You're not actig like an alpha, you're acting like a pussy."

"Shut the fuck up Bryson." was what came out of my mouth next, but only because I didn't have a good come back and I knew he was right. What the fuck am I doing out here? I'm a fricken alpha god damn it, I better start fucking acting like it.

"So what's your deal with Nikki?" he asked.

"Shes a bitch man. She fucking called me a twat when I woke her up during class."

"Thats it? That's your reason to hate her? I think that you need to stop being so sensitive to everything. I call you names all the time and you never call me a bitch.... Well, actually I take that back, but you don't act like this." Bryson pointed out.

I really hated when Bryson was right, but that was most of the time. Bryson was really good at giving advice and talking to people. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. Me and him have been best friends since our moms gave birth to us pretty much. We were a day apart and Im the oldest. We were basically brothers but from different moms. Broda from anada mada. Okay, moving on....

"Listen, she's your mate. You can't hate her, well I guess you could reject her but then you'd feel like shit all the time and I dont think I could handle that kind of stress...." I had to chuckle and roll my eyes at that comment before he went on.

"Anyway, just try to get to know her first. Be nice. Apologize for being a dick, even though she might've been the problem."

I opened my mouth to argue with him but he waved a hand infront of his face, "I don't want to hear it so shut up."

Honestly, Bryson was the only one benieth me that could boss me around. Anyone else I would tear apart in a second.

Using our mind link I told my cousin Lizzie to bring me and Bryson cloths. I don't think people would like it if we walked into class naked.

Lizzie came out with two pairs of clothes in her hands for me and Bryson. Lizzie was part of the second half of your pack.

So before you get confused, let me explain how our pack works. Our pack is so big that we had to split it into two parts for a certain period of time. One part in Chicago and the other along the general outskirts of Chicago.

Each part of our pack worked and pushed each of it's boarders so they were eventoually touching making our territory pretty large so we could all reside generally in the same place.

There were multiple pack houses set up in our territory considering we obviously couldn't fit everybody in the same house. But some people chose to live alone which was fine as long as they were still living in our territory.

So as of just recently, our packs finally became one again and now my father is back in charge of the whole shi-bang, with me to follow in his foot steps.

So back to Lizzie. She brought us clothes and walked back with us. "Lizzie, so you know Nikki James?" I asked.

Lizzie looked up and at me and nodded, "Yeah she's my best friend. She told me she felt a... Shock, when she touched you. She's your mate." Lizzie stated.

"Yeah she is. Do you know why she's such a bitch all the time?" I asked. I mean, she was a bitch the whole class period. The only time she wasn't being a bitch was when she was sleeping.

"Hey! Don't fucking call my friend a bitch." Lizzie snapped.

"I do what I want. I'm the alpha, not you." I said stopping to face her.

"Actually, your dad is technically still the alpha, so shove it Easton." She said. I just rolled my eyes at her.

Knowing she couldn't really do anything else she just glared at me. "So, are you going to tell me why, or are you just going to stand there?" I asked with a smirk.

"You're such an ass. I wish you weren't almost an alpha, then I could actually kick your ass. And to answer your dumbass question, she doesn't tolerate people very well, and considering you're the one that woke her up, it's your fault anyway."

"How the hell was it my fault? I didn't know she was going to snap at me like that!"

"Never interupt a girl from her sleep." Lizzie stated coldly. I knew she was leaving something out so I asked her, "Why does she have a big ass bruise on her eye?"

Lizzie turned to me and shrugged, "I dunno."

The thing about Lizzie is that she was an increadably good liar. She could lie to you about walking on the moon and you wouldn't be able to tell she was lying. Although, if you'd actually believe that she walked on the moon, well, you're a retard.

Using common sense it was obvious that she was lying. I mean, what kind of best friend doesn't know that kind of thing about their best friend?

"Lizzie, I'm not stupid. What happened?" I pressed.

"She got into a fight, okay?!" Lizzie screamed at me.

"With who?"

Lizzie stopped and starred at me. She seemed to be having an inner battle with herself.

"I don't- Well, I don't know if I can-" Lizzie at a loss for words? Well this doesn't happen every day.

It finally seemed that Lizzie made up her mind, "It was her dad okay? There, are you happy now?"

Her dad hits her? That son of a bitch! Imma kill him for touching my mate. I know what you're thinking. He's calling his mate a bitch, yet he's being protective of her...? It's a mate thing. Even if you don't necissarilly like them at first, you are still very protective of them anyway.

"How long has this been going on Lizzie? Why haven't you done anything about it?!" I was starting to shout now. I was getting mad. How could Lizzie let her best friend get beat up by her own father?

"Easton I tried! Every time I try to tell her to do something about it she says that she would rather stay with her dad than go into the system. And think about it, if she moved you would never find your mate."

She sighed, "This has been happening for a long long time. Long before her mother left. Nikki mom left when Nikki was pretty young, and never came back. Nikki doesn't know exactly why, but she thinks it was because she got fed up with her husbands crap and just up and left, leaving Nikki behind to take the heat. Before she left, Nikkis mom was the one that got beat, but when she left.... Nikki was his only option. Luke, Chris and I always tell her that she could stay with us, but she says that it would be to dangerous for us if he decided to do something to get her back."

"Does this happen often?" I asked, trying to calm myself down, but at the moment it wasn't really working.

"Yeah. She doesn't always come in with a black eye, but it's normally bruised ribs, sprained wrists or ankles.... She was once checked into a hospital for a broken wrist. He threw her down some stairs but her story was that she tripped and fell. I dont think the doctors believed her but they couldn't get her to give it up. She is way to stubborn for that shit."

"Why does she protect that SOB? He should be put in jail." I stated, more to myself than towards everyone else.

Lizzie sighed, "Listen Easton. Every time we tell her to tell someone she just laughs. Litterally laughs and says 'I'd rather die than go into the system.' Luke told her that eventoually if she stays with her dad she's going to get hurt permenatly. That statement caused Nikki to give Luke the silent treatment for a month. She was pissed even though she knew he was right. And would you want your mate in the system when there's a possibility you may not see her for awhile. You may not want her as a mate now, but you will come to realize that you can't live without your mate, especially since you're an alpha. An alpha needs his Luna and so does the pack. Don't be selfish Easton." Lizzie said.

I give them both an exasperated sigh of defeat. I knew they were both right and I am man enough to admit it.

"What should I do then? She doesn't seem to like me very much, and since she's human she won't understand the pull she will start to feel, if she hasn't already started feeling it." I wondered out loud.

"And how exactly did you whined up being best friends with her and not tell her the truth?" I asked Lizzie directly.

"I don't know. Trust me, it's not easy especially when your best friend is Nikki. She is no fool, and she can read me like a book so I'm surprised she hasn't figured something out already." Lizzie said with a shrug.


Well considering Lizzie was an expert liar, I can kind if see how he could have kept it from Nikki, but still. It was her best friend.

"She's probably going to be mad at you for not telling her all these years." I pointed out.

Lizzie nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I know that. I was only trying to keep her safe. I mean, she's got enough to deal with, you know, with her dad and all. She don't need to know about this unless absolutely necessary." she explained.

"But are turns 18 next week so then she can move out of her dads." She added with relief clear in her voice.

"So Liz. You want me to talk to her, or do you want to?" I asked.

She shook her head, "No, i'll do it. I think she'll take it better if I tell her. She doesn't know what's going on with you so..." she trailed off, and I nodded in agreement.

This should be interesting....
