T O M - 

   If I had known that I was going to find my mate, not knowing that I even had one, when the wolves baring their teeth forced me into an underground cell, then hell, I wouldn't have put up a single fight.

I know about werewolves: my family's had one or two maybe even three of them. The most recent werewolf was my great-great grandfather, Lucius, on my mother's side - he was a regular wolf in a pack and had mated a human. No one since him has gotten the wolf shifting gene, but we do have werewolf blood.

Growing up, I knew what werewolves were and how to decipher them from humans: they look like us but something about them is always off, since werewolves don't necessarily think like us.

For example, the sniffing - no human in his right mind goes sniffing at the air, but werewolves do, because they have a primal animalistic instinct that humans don't possess.

  So as I sit here, watching this goddess of an Alpha stare me down, I remind myself to breathe properly, normally.

 She is so beautiful. The person I am spending the rest of my life with is not only a she-wolf but an Alpha. Nothing gets better than that.

When I first saw her in the room that smelled like death, I was entranced with her beauty. Her black hair falling a little past her shoulders, her brown cunning and devious eyes narrowed on me - everything about her is and will always be majestic.

I was expecting her to be a Beta, not an Alpha, and that wasn't because she didn't look every bit like an Alpha, but rather that I couldn't have been that lucky bastard who was mated to an Alpha.

When she saw me and ordered for me to be released, I expected her to show me the ropes, demand I go to her house, or maybe even speak to me. Instead, she said some words to the wolves and left me there, hurt, shocked and completely dumbfounded.

Did she not feel what I was feeling? Was meeting her mate not important? I was hurt already and she hadn't even said a word in my direction.

So that's why I'm sitting here on her bed, Googling how to act when you're girlfriend's distant. Corny, I know, but I'm anxious, desperate even.

How does one act around their mate? Especially when the mate is an Alpha? A serious, distant, sexy, and jaw dropping Alpha. How do I act?

I've never done the whole relationship, boyfriend/girlfriend thing. I just had sex with girls who had an understanding that it was just sex. But now that I have a woman who I barely know but am being both physically and emotionally pulled too, it makes me wish I knew how to be a boyfriend or in this case, a mate.

 "What are you doing on the laptop?"  She questioned, causing my breathing to heighten  and a lump to form in my throat.

 How could her voice sound so soothing? I imagine her voice luring me to sleep, yelling at me and soon enough screaming my name.  Just the thought of her sexy body, laid on her back, legs and mouth opened with her eyes screwed shut did things to me.

"Do you want me to get off your laptop?" I ask her, forcing myself to keep looking at the screen and not her face.

"No." She mutters.

"Then don't ask what I'm doing on it." I whisper mentally.

I can't tell her that I am Googling what to do when your girlfriend's being distant, because for one, that would be more than enough of an implication that I have deemed us in a relationship and two, that would also be me implying that she is being distant which brings me to three, it might piss her off and make her act even more distant.
