A/N: Thanks for reading my story! :)

I was ecstatic to say the least. I could fell Jess pacing back and forth. She was agitated. I could not believe I will be meeting my mate soon.

“I need to see my mate” I said to myself and my wolf just nodded at me.

I rummaged through my useless pile of clothes and found one appropriate dress. It was a plain black floor length and old fashioned one.

He won’t like that one, it was out of style and just…..plain I agreed with her for one. But with my adrenalin pumped and my imagination just suddenly burst out of its wit.

“Maybe…but think I just found the right one.” I mumbled smilingly. Maybe I look like a fool because I am smiling like an idiot but who cares right?

What do you mean? That…thing looks hideous

“Just have a little fate in me”

I threw open one of the drawers and retrieved a pair of scissors.

“Just watch”

~*~

Just Wow!

Jess whispered in awe as I look myself in the mirror. The black floor length dress was cut short. The hemline of the front dress passed by my mid thigh and a long back cut. The plain style of the chest was smeared with little fake diamonds from where a retrieved a thrown plastic tiara. The little diamonds was illuminated by the light that would give a little sparkle and you would be tricked of it.

I combed my hair to perfection; I put it in a messy bun which a few tendrils wouldn’t reach creating a nice and elegant hair style. I do not have any beauty make-up kit but a mascara and a lip gloss will do.

I caught my reflection in the mirror and did a little twirl. I looked clean and presentable, not that I am not. But since they’ve given me low-esteemed, that put my mood in damp.

What if he doesn’t want me?

What if he doesn’t like me?

And what if he rejects me?

The last thought brought my heart in a cardiac arrest. That’s the most painful thing that could ever happen to a shewolf. It will tear us both, me and my wolf, apart and in such traumatic case, die.

No, he wouldn’t…I could feel him… Jess murmured to calm me. I just smiled at him.

“Ready for some action?” My wolf grinned and jumped up and down.

I stepped foot at the kitchen where a lot of teenager scattered with a drinks in their hands. Both familiar and unfamiliar  faces.

I few pack member saw me and I tense immediately hoping that they didn’t recognize me. Jimmy, one of the pack warriors glided towards me with a suspicious look in his eyes. I am totally screwed!

But when he grabs a drink from a passing waiter and turns to me with a smirk, I knew he doesn’t seem to notice who I am.

“What does a beautiful lady like you doing here alone?” his flirtatious way made me anxious.

“I…” I cleared my throat hoping that he won’t recognize my voice.

“I…I was looking for my mate..” the last word faltered a bit. He sober up immediately and mumble a silent “O”.

But the mischievous glints in his eyes never falter. “But you are not mated yet” He said moving towards me.

He sniffs in the air as if solving a math equation. “Your scent seems familiar…I just couldn’t point where----“

“Jimmy!” Jimmy was cut short when another pack member called for him.

Armand came strolling and was now panting when he came towards us. He glances at me when sees me but then he smile and nodded in appreciation.

“Who’s this lady you’ve been bugging, my friend?” He asked him

“This is…” Jimmy trailed off

“Uh…uhmm Ella” I said doubting a bit.

“Yes…Armand this is Ella.” He offered his hand and I hesitate first before I shook it.

“So what pack are you from Ella?” He asked me coyly as Jimmy handed me a drink.

His question made me grumble. What will I say? Shit! Think Think!

I rummage through my now messed up mind for the names of the invited neighboring packs I could use and think of.

“Uhmm, Blue Moon…yes! I..I am from the Blue Moon Pack” I lied through my teeth. Thank God! They seems pleased with my answer

“Oh, well, I could say your Alpha was a bit excited though. He brought his soon to be Alpha son with him along with the she wolves. You guys appeared earlier then we would have though” Armand chuckled immediately but halted in his own private joke when he suddenly remembers something important.


Shit! I totally forgot! Jimmy, Sean has been looking for you everywhere, the Midnight pack just arrived. I need to tell the others too“ He turned his attention to the high rank member, then to me.

“It’s nice meeting you Ella but I should probably head inside and search for them before the Alpha castrates me.” Armand said then left. He’s one of the pack members who doesn't not torments me, which I was grateful for.

“Well, let’s hope we cross paths again Ella” Jimmy said taking hold of my hand. I hope not

 I tried not to flinch at his touch. I though he’ll just going to shake my hand but when he snake his arms around me, I instantly froze on my spot. He embraced me much, too close for my liking. And when he starts to pull away, I thought that was it until his cold unlikely filthy lips descended on my neck.

I pushed him away and glared at him

“What part of I do have a mate didn’t you understand?” I said venomously.

Calm down…Your eyes! Jess reminds me. I calm my erratic breathing before turning away leaving him rootless to his spot.

I was at the backyard waiting again for that sweet smell. But with the different scents lingered in the air. I just couldn’t. I drank almost half the content of the cup that made me a bit tipsy. You could say I was a lightweight.

It was now past midnight, and just a few pack members and neighboring was lingering inside. I decided to head back before my mate tries to dissolves in the face of the earth.

 When I thrown open the back door. That sweet smell filled my senses again. I didn’t know where I was going, to be just moving to where that scent is.

The scent becomes more and more powerful the second I step foot on the second floor. The halls were consumed by silence.

I gasp escapes my now parted lips as a hand grab a hold of me and take me inside a deserted room. In other cases, I would have in a heartbeat connects my knee to the opponent’s crotch but as soon as his fingers touched me, sparks shoots throughout my entirety.

I stagger a bit but the faceless human made me steady. My eyes are blurry and my vision started spinning. I couldn’t make out his face but I know who he is.

“Mate” the word both left by our mouths was said in synchronization.
