^^^ Astrid

Half sprawled out on her single bed and half lay on the floor, Astrid groaned as her muscles groaned in protest. Going out last night might not have been one of her best ideas as today she had to endure a 3 hours drive with her best friend to a music festival - being 18 she could do whatever she wanted now and because her best friend Poppy was so timid she was doing everything she could to make her more confident and outgoing before she settled down with her mate.

Poppy that was... Astrid was determined never to have a mate. It wasn't like she could decide not to have one because someone was already chosen for her but she would do anything to make sure if she ever even met him she would run in the opposite direction. It must all be rubbish - it was a bond that you had no say over but it apparently made you instantly love someone? What if her mate was a serial killer... What would that say about Astrid if she had been paired up with him by the moon goddess?

Next to her was Poppy who was sat cross-legged on the bed on her laptop, how was she up so bright and early after such a crazy night?

"I stopped trying to keep up with you after your fifth shot, you were crazy last night," she said without Astrid needing to say anything, as she said it she nodded towards the floor still not even taking her eyes off of the screen in front of her.

Peering over the other side of the bed onto the floor Astrid saw a guy around 20 years old, not much older than the two 18-year-old girls. The guy had dirty blonde hair that had been messed up, he had no shirt on which revealed two hand prints of purple and green paint across his pecks.

"I did that didn't I?" she asks biting her lip nervously. Poppy nods glancing up from her screen for a second before looking back down again 

"At least, he is good looking" Astrid grins with a shrug before getting up and going downstairs where her mother and father were sat having breakfast. Coffee was already waiting for her in the coffee press so she grabbed the whole thing and two cups knowing that Poppy will have already gotten some.

"Nice to see you had fun last night" Astrid's dad, Michael says sarcastically. Looking down at her own body she noticed the fluorescent paint colours all over her body. Why she thought it was a good idea to show herself to her father wearing the short, shorts and crop top in the first place who knows? But the paint and hand marks were just the icing on the cake.

"I did have fun daddy, I'm only living a little. I will do my pack duties when I'm old and boring like you" she smirks jokingly before kissing them both on the cheek

"I'll give you old and boring lady," he says failing miserably at pretending to be angry but Astrid plays along with it by squealing and running away back up the stairs

"Get cleaned up and dressed then come back down, your father and I need to have a word with you about this festival" Astrid's more uptight mother, Jessica called after her. Astrid was the only daughter of the family, she had an older brother and two younger brothers who were twins so her dad had a particular soft spot for her and everybody knew it. For some reason because of this her mother seemed to make up the difference by being extra pushy with her when her father wouldn't.

There had already been discussions about the festival, it was one of the times when her father had said no to her, he had sided with her mother because they didn't think anything good could have come about her going but in the end she had persuaded them to let her go under certain conditions:

1. Astrid had to ring to check in with then every hour between the hours 10am-11pm

2. No drugs or drinking alcohol

3. They had to sleep in a hotel which would mean leaving the festival every night for the 3 nights then coming back every morning

4. No boys back in the hotel rooms with them/ No boys in general

They had been strict rules that Astrid had no intention of keeping but for the sake of being able to go she agreed with them while secretly planning what was really going to happen when they got there. By the time Astrid had gotten back to her room the stranger was sat up against the wall clutching his head.

"Here" she smirks handing him a cup of coffee which he grabs instantly and gulps it down clearly not fazed that it was a fresh extremely hot batch

"Thanks" he replies in a deep attractive voice

Not even wanting her coffee anymore, Astrid just stares at the guy sat awkwardly on the floor, she couldn't even remember his name. It wasn't like she slept with a lot of guys she just liked to flirt with them, she liked feeling wanted and she liked the attention she got when she was around them, in fact she had only ever had sex with 2 people.

"You smell" she smirks wrinkling up her nose while the guy laughs

"I'll go home then" he replies standing up extra slow waiting for her to stop him

"I didn't say you needed to do that, just get a shower here" she shrugs but he shakes his head, he must have stood well over 6 foot.

"I have nothing to change into" he replies walking towards the door, he knew exactly what he was doing. Astrid walked away from people not the other way around and he could tell this by the power and control radiating off of her

"You can use some of my older brother's clothes, Poppy won't mind getting them while we shower" Astrid says widening her eyes in silent communication with her best friend 

"Uhh, yeah sure I'll go speak to him now, won't be long Jax" 

His name is JAX!

she replies throwing the laptop to the side before leaving the room. Poppy and Astrid had been best friends since they were 4 years old when they were in the same class at school and she was now a part of the family so there was no awkwardness between her and Astrid's brother, Sam.

"Well in that case" he replies sauntering over to Astrid's small frame, bending down he pushes his lips forcefully onto hers before laying her back down on the bed to crawl over her, turning them both over he allowed Astrid to straddle his large but firm waist, she couldn't resist running her hands over his washboard stomach before resting her hand on the already made hand prints on his pecks

"A perfect fit" she mutters between one kiss and the next

"Well you did do it, you didn't give me a choice before ripping off my shirt... it was my favourite one too" he replies sticking out his bottom lip before continuing "So I got you back here, here..." he started pointing to different paint hand prints over her body before lifting up the crop top to notice two hand prints identical to his but much larger "..Here and here" he added while pressing his bear-like hands to her breasts catching her off guard at first

Jax started to slowly nip her skin from behind her ear, past her neck onto her sharp collar bones where he left little red marks, arching her back up to him she couldn't help the moan that forced its way out of her lips. Astrid could feel him smirking against her skin as he pressed himself up against her even more even though neither of them thought it was possible.

As soon as she came to her senses Astrid sat up and held him down by his chest with one hand, him being so muscley and werewolf too if he wanted to move he could've done but he complied and stayed completely still while they both caught their breath. 

"Let's get that shower" Astrid muttered crawling off of him while he followed closely behind.
