Avery's Pov (Continuation from the last chapter)

I stared in shock as the word fell out of Jake's mouth, his hands balling into fists for the most apparent reason, to hold him back from going to his mate.

"Jake, listen, hey!" I got him to pull away from Skylar and to look at me. His pupils were dilated, his eyes switching to silver, growls, and grunts underlying his breathing.

"Avery...you need to...stop me, h-hold me back." he grits out closing his eyes and I nodded, taking him by his hand and pulling him further from the scene, letting him breathe.

"Oh God, that's how you feel?" he splutters out, his eyes finding Skylar again. I smiled.

"This is crazy, how are you standing straight Avery, how are you doing this? Don't you want to be touching her all the time?" he whines out, growling, his control fine line now.

"Yes, yes I do. It gets better after you mark her, okay I promise. Calm down, you can't scare her. You want to meet her yeah?" I ask and he nods immediately.

"Of course. Jesus, she's so beautiful Av, she's perfect." He breathes out and my heart bursts with happiness for him. Finally!

"Come on, they're walking back, breathe Jake, come on," I say, rubbing his back. He walks a little bit behind me, and I hear him getting his breathing in check. I knew his wolf could snap at any moment.

"Hey," I say, my arm reaching for Sam's waist. She gives me a small, but happy smile before we looked at Skylar.

"You guys are so cute together." Skylar squeals making me grin.

"Thank you. Did you guys catch up?" I ask and they both nod.

"I can't believe it, after all these years. I do want to meet you both again, you got my number, text me, call me, maybe we can meet again on Thursday or something?" Skylar asks excitedly and Sam nods.

"Of course, I'll let you know Sky," Sam replies. I turn slightly before reaching for Jake's wrist, pulling him forward, just enough so he wouldn't snap, my arm slightly as a protective barrier, just in case.

"Also, this is my friend, Jake. Jake, Skylar, Skylar, this is Jake." I introduced them and my eyes watched them. I saw the way Jake's lit up, reaching out his hand to her, and it was trembling, making me snicker. The big bad Alpha, nervous? Hah!

"Hi." She whispered, softly, blushing as she shook Jake's hand.

"No fucking way," Sam muttered beside me, her eyes widening in realization making me chuckle and kiss her head.

"Yeap, who would have thought," I whisper back to her and she looks at them with the happiest smile.

Sam's Pov (two months later)

Skylar is amazing. She's everything I remember her to be, that same adventurous spirit, loud and full of laughter. She met my friends and quickly became friends with them too. And the best part, she's Jake's mate. I can't believe they're together and they're so cute. She gets all blushy when we tease her by calling her Luna. Everything was going great, the pack accepted her, things were good. 

We also found out why we couldn't find her was because she was adopted by a really, really rich and powerful family, they're friends with the mafia. Honestly, when she told us this we didn't believe her, but when we got to her house, we were scanned and checked for weapons and was constantly followed by her two bodyguards. It's crazy, she's filthy rich. She ran away from the orphanage and ran into one of the members of the Mafia on the street, who is now her uncle, and then she was adopted by them. But they kept everything a secret. "Protection," they said since bad businesses can cause trouble. It didn't sit well with Jake that his mate had two men following her around all day and that she couldn't move into the packhouse with him at first, but after a few months, she did.
