Veronica
I drove on the winding road, taking me deeper into the woods. I finally pulled up to what I assumed to be the pack house. It was a huge,sprawiling house made up of wood, much like a cabin, except for the glass roof. Damn this house is huge. I bet Amanda would have a field day. I smiled as i thought about my bestfriend. She is the only thing i have that is normal. I checked in the review mirror to make sure my winged liner was flawless around my green eyes, and that my long red, unruely hair was in a high poney tail. John opened the door for me and offered me his hand, which I took. Heels were great but rough on the feet, especially after driving in them.
"Hello, huntress." He smiled. I smiled in return.
"Hello,John. And please call me Veronica." John nodded and we walked up to the pack house. As we walked through the empty kitchen and dining room, I noted how clean it was. That was one thing I could say about wolves; they kept things clean. As I walked into what I assumed would be the Alpha's office, I noticed he wasnt even here yet. I looked at John, who looked uncomfortable.
"Uh let me go get him. I thought he would be here." He said, more to himself than to me as he left the office. I sighed, takeing a seat in the arm chair in front of the desk, impatently tapping my fingures on the wood. Everything was wooded, except for the modern lights and the file cabinets, as well as the soft velvet seats. The Alpha walked into the office busy looking at the file in his hand. I had to admit he was hot, with his black, short, cropped hair and deep set brown eyes. His skin was a georgeous sun kissed shade, as if he were Native American. He looked up to speak, but when he saw me his eyes switched between yellow, and a dark brown, and he growled something like mate. I groaned inwardly. Oh hell no. I couldnt be his mate. I was going to destroy his pack. As I thought about it it made sense. If i can gain his trust, then I could tear his pack apart more easily. This is going to be the act of a lifetime. I thought as he lunged at me.

It clicked in my head. As I laid my eyes on her it all made sense. I was upset with John because he interrupted me and the pack slut, Tamara. Upset was putting it mildley. I actually wanted to tear his head off. That was the smell of mint and verbana, and now I know where it came from.
"Mate." My wolf took over and lunged for her, to hold her and cuddle her, to never let her go again. But as I lunged for her, she side stepped and i fell on my face. I got up and whimpered. My wolf was hurt because she didnt want us.
What did you expect. She is a huntress.  I scoffed at my wolf.
Doesnt matter. She is our mate. She is fated to love us.
I rolled my eyes at him. Yeah ok.
She looked at me incredilously, like I just grew a second head.
I straightened up and let power radiate off my skin.
"My apologies. My wolf can get carried away. Please forgive us." She smiled and took my breath away. She was stunning. All the right curves, with deep red hair and green eyes.
"You're forgiven." Her voice made my heart mealt into a pile of jelly and my wolf whimpered at the fact of us not holding her.
"Welcome to the pack house. Please sit and tell me why you have come."
"I want to help you take down the vampires. They took my family from me, and four years later my boyfriend." Her eyes flashed with hurt and my heart flashed with anger. We will take them down. My wolf swore in my head.
"Of course we will help. The vampires have been causing this pack trouble ever since I can remember."
She looked up at me with soft eyes and my legs almost jellified.
"In exchange, I would like to stay here so I can have your protection."
Anything for her.
You know it will cause an uproar. A hunter in the pack. I mentally rolled my eyes at him.
She isnt just a huntress though. She is also you're mate. I bealieve she wouldnt purposley hurt us . I sighed. He was right. But then I had an idea.
I smiled at her.
"Ok. We will let you live here. But under one condition." She rose her perfectly arched eye brow in question.
"You must sleep in my room, in my bed." She looked horrified for a second then composed herself.
"Ok. But just to make things clear:this is strictly bussiness." I nodded and jumped for joy.  I opened the pack link
John, have Tamara escorted out of my room, and have fresh linen on the bed. Veronica will be staying with me. She is my mate and no one is to complain. Understand?
Yes Alpha. Right away.
I cut off the pack link, and smiled at her, holding my hand. She shook it and sparks ignited in my palm, and my wolf howled for joy.
"You have a deal Miss...?"
"Veronica." She smiled back.
