Not my Mate

chapter 1

(Damien)

Ashley POV

I woke up with my head pounding. I felt someone move in the bed beside me. A girl with long brown hair laid beside me naked. I had come to a party the night before and I guess I never managed to make it home. I sat up slowly trying my best not to wake the body beside me and slowly redressed myself.

I grabbed my phone off the bedside table and looked at the time

8:30 AM

I quietly maneuvered myself over all of the passed out bodies and bottles laying on the ground. I grabbed one last beer shoving it into my bag before leaving. Must've been one hell of a party.  After making my way out of the front door I ran to the car turning it on and driving down the road.

I made it back to the nightshade pack house and slowly krept inside hoping I wouldn't wake the rest of them. I quietly shut the front door turning around to see the alpha Zach making me jump and hold my chest.

"Jesus Christ Zach you could've given me a fucking heart attack" I said breathing heavily

He extended his hand towards me gesturing to give him something. I assumed he was gesturing towards the bottle in my bag

"What" I said trying to play it off

"I'm not dumb Ashley give me the beer" he said

I rolled my eyes taking the beer out of my satchel and handing it to him

"You're no fun" I said crossing my arms

"You know the rules we have here Ashley" he said opening the bottle and dumping it down the drain he sure did know me well

I was apart of the nightshade pack. It was one of the most strict packs in all of the world but that said it was also one of the best. Our warriors were all trained to perfection and all of our members well taken care of. They weren't like crazy religious or anything like that they just put their foot down to anything that could potentially put the pack in danger. Take alcohol for example.

"I know Zach" I said

"Good now go get some rest today is training day" he said opening the bottle of ibeprophen from the medicine cabinet and handing me. I began to walk away when he tossed me a bottle of water from across the room.

"You know what this pill would wash down good with" I said smirking he lifted an eyebrow questioning

"A beer" I said walking up the stairs hearing his chuckle behind me

It's a good thing I'm on the alphas good side. We are really good friends I joined his pack after my parents kicked me out for being gay. They didn't want some "dyke" in their pack. I opened the door to my room to see clothes scattered around the floor and open cans of pop sitting around.

"Home sweet home" I said aloud flopping on to my bed. The feeling of my mattress instantly made me tired. I curled under the covers and fell asleep.

-

I was woken up by Damien sitting on me. Damien was one of my best friends in the pack He was my better half.

"Wake up honey it's time to go train" he said

"Get off me fatty" I said pushing against him he jumped off of me holding his heart looking fake offended

"I am not fat I'm fluffy" he said sarcastically Damien was the complete opposite of fat he was all muscle he was a really intimidating person if you weren't on his good side.
