"She's my mate!" Zane yelled causing both the man and I to widen our eyes. Mate? Is Zane Australian?
"No. That's not possible. She's-" Zane cut him off with a blow to the jaw.
"Get out before I throw you out of the pack." I took a step back from th...

After Sam left, I turned towards Mika and sent him an innocent smile.
"Let me guess, you have questions?" I nodded my head and pulled my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them.
"How do you become a werewolf?"
"You're either born with it, like Zane and most of the other pack members or, you die with alpha blood in your system." My jaw dropped open. If I die anytime soon, I would come back as a werewolf. I tried not to think too much about this, and went on to my next question.
"Wait, so does that mean that changed werewolves are really dead?"
"No. The alpha blood acts like a charge of electricity and starts your heart back up. It's really hard to purposefully change a werewolf because you have to inject the blood at a specific time and you can only inject a certain amount. Most alpha's don't know much about it." I slowly chewed on this new information. Every question I ask relates back to Zane and I can't get that image of his hurt expression out of my mind.
"Do they have, like, special powers?" I felt stupid asking such a question, but I want to know everything I can.
"Not really. They have heightened senses so they can hear even the slightest of sounds, see better in the dark, especially when in full wolf form, but its harder for them to control their emotions and body when in wolf form." I closed my eyes and pulled my knees away from my chest. "Now a lot of people get the whole wolf thing wrong. A werewolf is just that, a half human half wolf. The stories aren't true where every werewolf has a wolf. It's really just one person. Not two."
"I didn't believe Zane when he told me about the whole werewolf thing so he turned in front of me and lost control. He pounced on me and started growling and honestly? It scared the crap out of me." I took a deep breath and dryly laughed. "I'm scared Mika. Just a few days ago, the only thing I was worried about was getting a good grade on my math test and trying to find a way to stay invisible. Now I have to fix things with Zane, find out where my mom is, who by the way just tried to kill me a few hours ago and try to figure out what I'm going to do about school because half of the students were just killed by my mate's pack. And I don't even know what a freaking mate is." Mika chuckled and took in a deep breath.
"Devina I've known Zane for a long time now. Before you, he was ruthless. I'll admit that. But now that you're here, he's changed and I know for a fact that he would never intentionally hurt you. He just lost control." When I didn't answer, Mika continued. "But your mom tried to...?" He trailed off. I nodded and looked down at my hands. "Well, mate is short for a soulmate. Every person has one, maybe even two, they just might never meet them. For werewolves, the "mate pull" is greater than it is for humans." I gave him a questioning look and he continued. "The mate pull is what you feel when you're around Zane. You feel like telling him everything on your mind even though you might have just met. When you touch him, you feel sparks and when you aren't around him, that's the only thing you can think about and you want him near you." That made sense. My attraction to Zane was because of the mating pull.
