The Teased Mate (𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 #1)

Prologue

Everything seems relaxed in the packhouse and everyone, I love seems to be around me. In the corner stands a faceless man. He is holding a baby girl. She is crying, I am laying down with tear-filled eyes staring right at the baby with glee. Then it is all ripped away, by reality right at the good part of the dream.

Ugh, now I have to wake up! I growl in frustration.

High school, also known as hell for teenagers. It's a hormonal mess mixed with confused boys, girls, and people with all gender identities.

"Honey, come down so I can make you a special breakfast for your first day." I throw the blanket back over me, so I can attempt to get that dream back.

Most girls expect easy classes, first dances, first kisses, and a whole lot of drama sophomore year. I witnessed that going on with my brother Milo when he was my age. He was always with his best friend; who I can't stand even though he is next in line, to be Alpha.

He is a cocky asshole, and I would rather die than be by our packs royal man-whore. There was a time when I liked being by him, that was BMAF. Which stands for before my aunt Flo. Which is another word for a period. My mom made it up just in case, I was ever having any problems and needed to discuss it, while the boys were around.

Anthony Hudson, the soon be the downfall of our pack, son of John Hudson our Alpha. His father is a good leader, but he puts all his energy into his pack. Anthony would most likely push his father away anyway, even if his father tried to be there. He always pushes away the people he loves. Sometimes to the point where they are head over heels but in denial about it.

We started with a promising relationship, but as soon as puberty hit him, everything completely changed. He started dating, and he was too busy for me. Growing up together and then him doing his own thing frustrated me. When I started growing more, he would never look at me the same. Like I was morphing into some kind of monster. I would end up walking into a room, and he would leave or make fun of me. It broke my heart seeing the guy I liked call me names and make fun of me for no reason at all.

I thought he was so hot then and he was so sweet, I didn't know what exactly changed that. He didn't even try apologizing, he just said everything wrong, and I would walk away and slam my bedroom door on him.

But who the hell cares about him not me anymore? Okay, denial again, I have always loved him, but he can't know that. Who am I kidding?

I have already tried getting over him. Google didn't help much as well when I was seeking help. There are no 12 steps to getting over a guy, especially one you see daily, and can't seem to dump out of your heart.

I hadn't seen my brother this whole summer, because he was busy traveling with his idiotic best friend. They wanted to live life to the fullest because this year at the age of eighteen they find their mates.

So why not hook up with random strangers, the whole summer? That is the most logical wisdom they have ever come up with.

Yeah, I got one phone call and it was drunk Anthony babbling about; how Milo missed me. That was fun, I wanted to hang up but I missed the sound of his voice. I feel so sorry for the one who gets them as their mates. Especially, Anthony. He would be a great guy if he wasn't a sexist asshole. Right now he makes a better poster than he does a spokesperson for a great mate.

For one, they have had so many uncommitted relationships it is sad. Two, they will be more experienced with sex. Women in our pack are not supposed to have sex unless it is with their mate. But the guys get to fuck anything in sight! Yeah as soon as I find a guy, that I feel safe with, he will get free entrance. They care more about their body count than, what they are doing with their bodies. So human girls are thrown away like trash. Male wolves only care for their mates, any other girl is trashed. Three, they have to start having kids a year after completing the mate bond. Trust me, if you mention kids, they will run for the hill, or at least my brother will since we have six siblings, five of them under the age of ten.
